Aim Tostudytheinfluencesofsulfated polysaccharides ( SPPM60-D) on the regulation of free calcium concentration ( [ Ca2+] i ) of T lymphocytes of mice in vitro and explore the mechanisms involved. Methods Polysaccharides(PPM60)wereextracted from masson pine pollen with hot water and 60% etha-nol. PPM60-D was separated and purified from PPM60 with Sephacryl S-400HR. Sulfated polysaccharides ( SPPM60-D ) were derivated by chlorosulfonic acid-pyridine method and the [ Ca2+] i of T lymphocytes were measured by fluorescence spectrophotometer. IL-2 and IL-4 were measured by ELISA kits. Results ConAandSPPM60-Dcouldincrease[Ca2+]iinT lymphocytes by 211. 5% and 201. 8% respectively ( P<0. 01). 2-APB, LY294002, U73122 and verapamil rather than TAK-242 could significantly inhibit the in-crease of [ Ca2+] i induced by SPPM60-D. SPPM60-D could significantly increase the level of IL-2 and IL-4 in supernatant ( P <0. 01 ) . 2-APB rather than TAK-242 could significantly inhibit the increase of cyto-kines.Conclusion ItisspeculatedthatSPPM60-D could increase [ Ca2+ ] i via TCR/CD3-PI3K-PLC-IP3 R-Ca2+ signal pathway through TCD/CD3 receptor in T lymphocytes so that it could improve the level of IL-2 and IL-4 in supernatant in T lymphocytes.

Objective To evaluate feasibility of high frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) during trachea and carinal reconstruction. Methods Ten patients with lung cancer ,scheduled for elective trachea and carinal reconstruction ,were intubated with double lumen tube following routine anesthesia induction. A HFJV tube (ID=3mm) was inserted 3cm into main bronchus. HFJV was applied ,with the respiratory rate of 120/min,I:E=1:2 and drive pressure of 0.15-1.20MPa, after cut off the main bronchus of the opposite side. Blood gas analysis was made before the operation, 15min following one-lung ventilation, 5, 10, 20 min following HFJV and 15min following one-lung ventilation,respectively.Results PaO 2 was significantly higher following HFJV than that one-lung ventilation (P

This article summarized the advances in the research of the natural products ET-743,Didemnin B and Aplidine,which were isolated from ascidians, and have been applied to clinical study at present.

Objective To investigate the effects of different positions of the patients mechanically ventilated under general anesthesia on respiratory mechanics during one or both lung ventilation before thoracotomy.Methods Twelve ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes (8 males, 4 females) aged 33-63 years weighing 62-85 kg scheduled for general thoracic surgery were studied. The preoperative lung function of the patients was normal. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular pethidine, promethazine and atropine. Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl, droperidol, midazolam, propofol and vecuronium. Left-sided double-lumen tube was inserted and correct placement was confirmed using a fiberoptic bronchoscope inserted through the bronchial lumen. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol and vecuronium infusion. The magnitude of neuro-muscular blockade was monitored by stimulation of radial nerve with TOF pulses. T4/T1 was maintained at 0 during study. The patients were placed in supine, left and right lateral position. In each position both lungs, left and right lung were ventilated for 10 min respectively. The non-ventilated bronchial lumen was open to the air during one-lung ventilation. The ventilatory parameters were kept unchanged during the study (VT = 8-10 ml?kg-1 , RR = 12 bpm, I:E = 1:2). Pressure-volume loop (P-V loop), peak airway pressure (Ppeak), airway resistance (Raw), total compliance (CT) (lung and thorax) and PETCO2 were measured and recorded at the end of each 10 min ventilation using S/5 monitor ( Datex-Ohmeda Finland) . Results During both lung ventilation Ppeak was significantly increased and CT was significantly decreased in left and right lateral position as compared with supine position ( P

Objective To compare the clinical value of nerve stimulator-versus ultrasound-guided continuous femoral nerve block for analgesia after laparoscopic surgery.Methods Forty patients,aged 18-60 yr,with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m2,of ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective laparoscopic surgery,were randomly assigned into 2 groups (n =20 each) using a random number table:nerve stimulator group (group S) and ultrasound group (group U).Epidural anesthesia was performed with 1.73 ％ carbonated lidocaine in both groups.0.2％ ropivacaine 5 ml/h was infused continuously after surgery to perform femoral nerve block for analgesia.VAS score at rest was assessed at 2,6,24 and 48 h after surgery.At 24 and 48 h after surgery,VAS scores during active and passive movement were assessed.The time for catheter placement near the femoral nerve and development of subcutaneous hematoma at the puncture site,local anesthetic intoxication and nausea and vomiting were recorded.The postoperative requirement for analgesics was also recorded.Results There was no significant difference in the VAS scores and puncture for femoral nerve block-and local anesthetics-related adverse events between the two groups.The time for catheter placement near the femoral nerve was 8.0 ± 1.4 and (6.7 ± 0.9) min in S and U groups,respectively,and the time was significantly longer in group S than in group U.No patients required rescue analgesic after surgery in both groups.Conclusion Nerve stimulator-guided continuous femoral nerve block provides higher clinical value than ultrasound-guided continuous femoral nerve block for analgesia after laparoscopic surgery and it is more suitable for clinical application.
