Objective To study wether dezocine (DZ) can attenuate neuropathic pain in rats and to investigate its mechanism.Methods Neuropathic pain was induced by tight ligation of the left L5 spinal nerve of the male SD rats. 24 Spinal nerve ligation (SNL) model rats were randomly divided into three groups:the first group (saline group, n=8), rats were given intraperitoneal injection of 1ml of saline 14 days after SNL surgery; the second group (dezocine group, n=8), rats were given intraperitoneal injection of 5mg/kg of dezocine in 1ml saline 14 days after SNL surgery;the third group (morphine group,n=8),rats were given intraperitoneal injection of 5 mg/kg of morphine 14 days after SNL surgery. Results Intraperitoneal injection dezocine and morphine had significant analgesic effect in neuropathic pain rats. This analgesic effect lasted for 4-6 hours.Continuous injection of morphine for 3 days produced significant tolerance, while continuous injection of dezocine for 7 days still had significant analgesic effect on neuropathic pain. Conclusion Intraperitoneal injection of dezocine and morphine can attenuate SNL neuropathic pain, continuous injection of morphine for 3 days can produce significant tolerance, while continuous injection of dezocine for 7 days still has significant analgesic effect on neuropathic pain.

Objective To investigate the effect of the intraoperative wake-up test on the postoperative delirium in patients undergoing scoliosis operation under analgesia with sufentanil. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients , aged 12-60 yr, scheduled for scoliosis surgery, were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 30 each) : control group (group C) and intraoperative wake-up test group (group W) . The intraoperative wake-up test was not performed during operation in group C. Anesthesia was induced with target-controlled infusion of sufentanil with the target effect-site concentration set at 0.5 ng/ml and iv injection of propofol 1-2 nig/kg. As soon as the patients lost consciousness, tracheal intubation was facilitated with 0.15 mg/kg cisatracurium besylate. The patients were mechanically ventilated. Anesthesia was maintained with target-controlled inhalation of sevoflurane (target end-tidal concentration 0. 8%-1. 5%), target-controlled infusion of sufentanil (target effect-site concentration 0.2-0.3 ng/ml) and iv infusion of cisatracurium besylate 0.1 mg- kg-1·h-1 . In group W, the patients underwent the intraoperative wake-up test. Postoperative analgesia was provided with sufentanil. The occurrence of intraoperative awareness and postoperative delirium was recorded. Results No significant difference was found in the incidences of intraoperative awareness and postoperative delirium between the two groups. Conclusion The intraoperative wake-up test is not the risk factor for postoperative delirium in patients undergoing scoliosis surgery under analgesia with sufentanil, and inhibition of perioperative pain and intraoperative awareness by analgesia with sufentanil may be involved in the mechanism.

ObjectiveTo compare the intraoperative wake-up test in patients undergoing scoliosis surgery with different anesthesia methods.MethodsForty ASA Ⅰ patients aged 13-18 yr with body mass index ＜ 30 kg/m2 scheduled for scoliosis surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n =20 each): propofol combined sufentanil anesthesia group (group P) and sevoflurane combined sufentanil anesthesia group (group S).Anesthesia was induced with target-controlled infusion of sufentanil(target effect-site concentration 0.5 ng/ml),and iv injection of etomidate 0.3 mg/kg in both groups.Tracheal intubation was facilitated with 0.15 mg/kg cisatracurium when patients lost consciousness.The patients were mechanically ventilated.Anesthesia was maintained with target-controlled inhalation of sevoflurane (target end-tidal concentration 0.8％-1.5％ ) in group S,and target-controlled infusion of propofol (target plasma concentration 3-5 μg/ml) in group P,and target-controlled infusion of sufentanil (target effect-site concentration 0.2-0.3 ng/ml),and iv infusion of cisatracurium 0.1 mg· kg-1· h-1 in both groups.BIS value was maintained at 40-60.Cisatracurium administration was terminated and target effect-site concentration of sufentanil decreased to 0.1 ng/ml before wake-up test,5 min later,sevoflurane and propofol administration were terminated,and 5 min later wake-up test was performed.MAP and HR were recoreded during wake-up test.The wake-up time and advers effect (bucking,restlessness and awareness)were recorded.Results The wake-up time was significantly shorter in group S than in group P( P ＜ 0.05).MAP and HR were in normal range during wake-up test in both groups,and bucking,restlessness and awareness were not found in both groups.ConclusionTarget-controlled inhalation of ssvoflurane combined with sufentanil can be safely and effectively used for intraoperative wake-up test in patients undergoing scoliosis surgery,and the wake-up time is shorter than that with propofol combined sufentanil,and it is an apporiate anesthetic technique for the intraoperative wake-up test.
