Objective To investigate the effect of sodium citrate on the efficacy of oral midazolam premedication in children with congenital heart disease. Methods Forty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ children, aged 2-6 yr, weighing 12-20 kg, undergoing cardiac surgery, were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 20 each): control group (gronp C) and sodium citrate group (group S). Group S received oral mixture of midazolam 0.12 ml/kg (0.6 my/kg), ketamine 0.12 ml/kg (6 my/kg), glucose 0.12 ml/kg (60 mg/kg) and sodium citrate 0.12 ml/kg (3 mg/kg), total volume 0.48 ml/kg. Group C received oral mixture of midazolam 0.12 ml/kg, ketamine 0.12 ml/kg and glucose 0.24 ml/kg, total volume 0.48 ml/kg. Hydrochloric acid (pH value 1.75) was mixed with the mixtures in the two groups and pH values were measured. Preoperative anxiety scale and the onset time,sedation score and parental separation score after receiving oral drugs were recorded in preparation room for anesthesia. After entering the operating room, HR, MAP and SpO2 were monitored, and the response to venepuncture in children and the adverse effects associated with oral drugs were also observed and recorded. Results The pH value was 1.97 in group C and 4.52 in group S. The parental separation score, sedation score and response score were significantly lower and the onset time was significantly shorter in group S than in group C. HR, MAP and SpO2 were in the normal range after entering the operating room. There was no obvious adverse effect after administration of oral drugs in the two groups. Conclusion Application of sodium citrate in the oral premedication in children with congenital heart disease can raise the pH value, shorten the onset time of midazolam, and enhance the sedative efficacy.

Objective To analyze the influential factors of healthy children′s heart rate turbulence (HRT). Methods One hundred and six healthy children with ventricular premature beat (VPB) were selected in this study and the correlation among HTR parameters as turbulence onset (TO) and turbulence lope (TS) and age, gender, basic heart rate, the number of VPBs were analyzed. Results It was observed that among three age groups, TO decreased with the age, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05), but there was no significant gender difference (all P > 0.05). TS increased with the age, and intergroup difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In the group of children aged over seven, significantly higher TS was observed among boys (P < 0.05), while in the group of children aged 1 to 3 and the group aged 3 to 7 , there was no significant gender difference (P > 0.05). TO and TS decreased with the decline of heart rate (r = 0.494, P < 0.00; r = -0.569,P < 0.00 respectively), and the correlation between TO and HR, TS and HR was found.The number of VPBs had no significant correlation with TO or TS (r = 0.104,P = 0.290; r = 0.122,P =0.212). Conclusions The results demonstrate that influenced by age and basic heart rate, healthy children′s HRT increases with the age and the decline of heart rate. Therefore, the reference index of children′s HRT should differ from that of adults, which requires further evaluation.

Objective Several studies have indicated that miR-15a,miR-15b and miR-16 may be the important regulators of apoptosis.Since attenuate apoptosis could protect myocardium and reduce infarction size,the present study was aimed to find out whether these miRNAs participate in regulating myocardial ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury.Methods Apoptosis in mice hearts subjected to I/R was detected by TUNEL assay in vivo,while flow cytometry analysis followed by Annexin V/PI double stain in vitro was used to detect apoptosis in cultured cardiomyocytes which were subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R).Taqman real-time quantitative PCR was used to confirm whether miR-15a/15b/16 were involved in the regulation of cardiac I/R and H/R.Results Compared to those of the controls,I/R or H/R induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes was significantly iucreased both in vivo (24.4% ± 9.4% vs.2.2% ± 1.9%,P < 0.01,n =5) and in vitro (14.12% ±0.92% vs.2.22% ± 0.08%).The expression of miR-15a and miR-15b,but not miR-16,was increased in the mice I/R model,and the results were consistent in the H/R model.Conclusions Our data indicate miR-15 and miR-15b are up-regulated in response to cardiac I/R injury,therefore,down-regulation of miR- 15a/b may be a promising strategy to reduce myocardial apoptosis induced by cardiac I/R injury.
