BACKGROUND:Bone marrow stromal stem cels have a strong osteogenic potential, which are currently the most ideal seed cels for tissue engineering. However, there is no clinical report on the treatment of benign bone tumors and tumor-like lesions using bone marrow stromal stem cel transplantation.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate thein vivo perfusion method of inducing bone marrow stromal stem cels, and the clinical effects of bone marrow stromal stem cels on benign bone tumors and tumor-like lesions.
METHODS: Sixty-five cases of benign bone tumors and tumor-like lesions were divided into three groups according to the different treatments: bone graft group (n=30) and bone marrow stromal stem cels group (n=35). In the bone graft group, alogeneic bone was soaked in normal saline for 30 minutes, and then implanted into the bone defect site. In the bone marrow stromal stem cels group, 20-40 mL of bone marrow from each patient was extracted to isolate, purify and culture bone marrow stromal stem cels that were then perfused into the bone defect site.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under the inverted phase contrast microscope, the perfused cels appeared as a spherical shape, with different sizes. Initialy, there were more hematopoietic cels in the perfusion cel culture. With the extension of the culture time, adherent spindle cels and suspended red blood cels appeared, which were mostly round and triangular. Al the patients were folowed up for 1-12 months and healed wel after surgery. Compared with the bone graft group, infection rate and healing time were both lower in the bone marrow stromal cel group. To conclude, in vivo perfusion of bone marrow stromal stem cels used for construction of tissue-engineered bone promotes blood supply reconstruction and bone healing in patients with benign bone tumors and tumor-like lesions, which is of high clinical values.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of ETView visual endotracheal intubation in elderly patients with a potentially difficult airway under general anesthesia.Methods A total of 80 patients scheduled for elective surgery,with at least three characteristics indicative of an increased risk for difficult tracheal intubation and aged 65-86 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade [Ⅱ or Ⅲ,were selected and randomly assigned into 2 groups:the control group (Group C) and the ETView visual endotracheal intubation group (Group E) (n=40 for each).After induction with propofol 0.5-1.5 mg/kg,sufentanil 0.2 μg/kg,and rocuronium 0.6mg/kg,regular tracheal intubation and ETView visual endotracheal intubation were conducted in Group C and Group E respectively.Blood pressure and heart rate were recorded before induction (T0),before initial intubation (T1),at successful intubation (T2),and 5min after successful intubation (T3).Duration of catheterization,number of intubation attempts,rate of successful intubation at first attempt and complications within 2 days of intubation were also recorded.Results The duration of catheterization and the number of intubation attempts were lower in Group E than in Group C[(34±6) s vs.(48± 22) s,(1.0±0.0) vs.(1.4±0.4),t=2.484 and 2.373,respectively,P=0.017 and 0.023,respectively].The rate of successful intubation at first attempt was higher in Group E than in GroupC (100％ or 40 cases vs.75％ or 30 cases),x2=5.714,P=0.017).There was no significant difference in hemodynamic changes and the rate of postoperative hoarseness between the two groups (P＞0.05 for both).Conclusions ETView visual endotracheal intubation shows excellent safety in elderly patients with a difficult airway under general anesthesia,with shorter catheterization duration and a higher rate of successful intubation at first attempt than regular intubation.

Objective To assess the efficacy of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) i-gel used in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 21-64 yr, weighing 4590 kg, undergoing elective laparoscopic gynecological surgery, were randomized into 2 groups ( n = 30 each):LMA i-gel group (group Ⅰ) and LMA Supreme group (group S) . Mallampatti test was performed before operation in both groups. Anesthesia was induced with target-controlled infusion of propofol (target plasma concentration 2.5-4.0 μg/ml) and remifentanil (target plasma concentration 3-6 ng/ml) . After the patients lost consciousness, rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg was given to facilitate the LMA insertion. LMA i-gel and LMA Supreme were inserted in I and S groups respectively. A gastric tube was inserted through the drain tube of the LMA. In group S the air was injected into the cuff to make intracuff pressure reach 60 cm H2O after successful LMA insertion. The LMA placement time, the number of attempts of LMA insertion, the number of attempts of gastric tube placement, the airway sealing pressure, the parameters of hemodynamics and ventilation, and complications (sore throat, odynopliagia,hoarseness) were recorded. The fiberoptic laryngoscopy scores were assessed after successful LMA placement. The anesthesia time and recovery time were also recorded. Results There was no significant difference in the anesthesia time, recovery time, LMA placement time, fiberoptic bronchoscopy scores and the parameters of hemodynamics and ventilation between the two group. The success rates of LMA and gastric tube placement were 100% in both groups. The airway sealing pressure was significantly higher, while the incidence of sore throat and odynopliagia was significantly lower in group I than in group S. Conclusion LMA i-gel provides adequate ventilation during operation with fewer complications and can be used effectively for gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

Objective To assess the efficacy of the laryngeal mask airway i-gel (LMA i-gel) in patients umdergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods One hundred and twenty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,aged 34-62 yr, weighing 45-90 kg, undergoing elective cholecystectomy using fiberoptic laparoscope, were randomized into 2 groups (n =60 each): LMA i-gel group (group I) and LMA ProSeal group (group P). After induction of anesthesia with sufentanil 0.2 μg/kg, propofol 2.5 mg/kg and vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg, LMA i-gel and LMA ProSeal were inserted in group I and P respectively. A gastric tube was inserted through the drain tube of the LMAs. The number of attempts, success rate, success rate of gastric tube placement, airway seal pressure, SpO2 ,PETCO2, peak airway pressure and complications (hypoxemia, nausea and vomiting, choking hoarseness, sore throat and regurgitation of gastric contents) were recorded. The fiberoptic laryngoscope scores were assessed after sccessful LMA placement. The anesthesia time, duration of surgery, extubation time and emergence time were also recorded. Results There was no significant difference in the anesthesia time, duration of surgery, extubation time and emergence time between the two groups ( P ＞ 0.05). The SpO2, PETCO2 and peak airway pressure were within the normal range during operation in both groups. The first attempt success rate of LMA placement and fiberoptic bronchoscopic scores were significantly higher, and the LMA placement time was significantly shorter in group Ⅰ than in group P (P ＜ 0.05). The success rate of LMA and gastric tube placement was 100% in both groups. The incidence of sore throat was significantly lower in group I than in group P ( P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion LMA i-gel can provide adequate ventilation during operation with less complications and can be used effectively for cholecystic laparoscopic surgery.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of astaxanthin on neuropathic pain in rats and the role of spinal heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1).Methods:Seventy-two SPF-grade healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 200-250 g, in which intrathecal catheters were successfully implanted, were divided into 6 groups ( n=12 each) by a random number table method: blank control group (group C), sham operation group (Sham group), neuropathic pain (NP) group, NP plus dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group (NP + DMSO group), NP plus astaxanthin group (NP + AST group) and NP plus zinc protoporphyrin plus astaxanthin group (NP+ ZnPP+ AST group). NP was induced by chronic constriction injury in anesthetized rats.In Sham group, the sciatic nerve was only isolated without ligation.At 5 days after establishing the model, 0.5% DMSO 10 μl was intrathecally injected in NP+ DMSO group, astaxanthin 1 μg (dissolved in 10 μl DMSO) was intrathecally injected in NP+ AST group, HO-1 inhibitor zinc protoporphyrin 24 μg (dissolved in 10 μl DMSO) was intrathecally injected, and 3 h later astaxanthin 1 μg (dissolved in 10 μl DMSO) was intrathecally injected in NP+ ZnPP+ AST group.Injection was given once a day for 10 consecutive days in the 3 groups mentioned above.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured at 1 day before establishing the model and 3, 7 and 14 days after establishing the model.The rats were sacrificed at 14 days after establishing the model, and the L 4-6 lumbar segments of the spinal cord were removed for determination of the contents of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GHS-PX)(by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and expression of HO-1 (by Western blot). Results:Compared with group C and group Sham, the MWT was significantly decreased and TWL was shortened at each time point after establishing the model, the contents of TNF-α and IL-1β were increased, and the expression of HO-1 was up-regulated in the other four groups, the SOD and GSH-PX contents were significantly decreased in NP group, NP+ DMSO group and NP+ ZnPP+ AST group, and the SOD and GSH-PX contents were significantly increased in NP+ AST group ( P<0.05). Compared with NP group, the MWT was significantly increased and TWL was prolonged at 7 and 14 days after establishing the model, the contents of TNF-α and IL-1β were decreased, and the expression of HO-1 was up-regulated in NP+ AST group, the expression of HO-1 was down-regulated in NP+ ZnPP+ AST group ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in NP+ DMSO group ( P>0.05). Compared with NP+ AST group, the MWT was significantly decreased and TWL was shortened at 7 and 14 days after establishing the model, the contents of SOD and GSH-PX were decreased, the contents of TNF-α and IL-1β were increased, and the expression of HO-1 was down-regulated in NP+ ZnPP+ AST group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Astaxanthin can reduce NP in rats, and the mechanism is related to up-regulating the expression of HO-1 in the spinal cord and inhibiting oxidative stress and inflammatory responses.

Objective To compare two different regimens of ultrasound-guided Continuous ad-ductor canal block (CACB)for postoperative analgesia and early ambulation after total knee arthro-plasty (TKA).Methods Sixty-seven patients scheduled for unilateral TKA undergoing spinal anes-thesia,13 males and 54 females,aged 18-85 years,BMI 18-30 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ, were randomly divided into the continuous infusion group A (n=34)and the intermittent boluses group B (n=33).After the operations,ultrasound-guided CACB were administered and 20 ml of 0.2% ropivacaine was given as the loading dose.From then on,patients in both groups used electronic analgesic pumps containing 240 ml of 0.2% ropivacaine for postoperative analgesia.5 ml/h of 0.2% ropivacaine was continuously infused for 48 hours in the group A.5 ml of 0.2% ropivacaine was automated injected every 60 minutes in the group B.All infusion pumps were setted at a bolus dose of 5 ml,with a lock time of 30 minutes.The total consumptions of analgestic pum solution and dezoine, quadriceps muscle strength, active range of knee flexion, ambulation distance and occurrences of adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting,dizziness,drowsiness,extravasating and errhysis were recorded at different time points postoperatively.Results The total consumptions of analgestic pum solution at 12,24 h postoperatively of group B were significantly reduced than that of group A (P<0.05).The 48 h total dezoine consumption of group B was significantly reduced than group A (P<0.05).Active range of knee flexion at 24,48 h and ambulation distance at 48,72 h of group B were significantly higher than group A (P<0.05).There was no statistical difference in quadriceps muscle strength between group A and group B.The incidence of nausea and vomiting in group A was significantly higher than that in group B,and there were no statistical difference in other adverse reactions between group A and group B.Conclusion Compared with the continuous infusion group,the intermittent bolus group for CACB after TKA can provide better analgesic effect and de-crease opioid use postoperatively,with little effect on motor nerve,promoting early ambulation.
