Objective To assess the efficacy of laryngeal mask airway Supreme (LMA Supreme) used in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Methods One hundred and twenty ASA I or Ⅱ patients of both sexes aged 35-60 yr weighing 48-85 kg undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery were randomized to 2 groups ( n = 60 each): LMA Supreme group (group S) and tracheal intubation group (group T). Mallampati test was performed before operation in both groups. The patients were classified as I - Ⅲ . In group S the LMA Supreme was inserted after induction of anesthesia with sufentanil 0.2 fig/kg, propofol 2-3 mg/kg and vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg. A gastric tube was inserted through the drain tube of the LMA Supreme. In group T the patients were intubated under direct laryngoscopy. The success rate, LMA placement/intubation time, 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 duration of surgery, anesthesia time, extubation time and emergence time were also recorded. Results There was no significant difference in the success rate between the two groups. The placement and removal time and recovery time were significantly shorter in group S than in group T. The airway seal pressure was (25 ±4) cm H2O in group S. SpO2, PETCO2 and peak pressure were within normal range in both groups. The incidence of postoperative hypoxemia, choking and sore throat were significantly lower in group S than in group T. Conclusion LMA Supreme can provide adequate ventilation during operation with less complications and can be used effectively for laparoscopic surgery.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of streamline liner of pharyngeal airway ( SLIPA) in airway management of general anesthesia. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ -Ⅱ patients undergoing elective breast surgery were randomized into 2 groups (30 cases each): SLIPA group (group S) and laryngeal mask airway (LMA) classic group (group L). Anesthesia was induced with propofol 2 mg/kg, sufentanil 0.15 μ g/kg and vecurium 0.08 mg/kg. SLIPA or LMA was inserted with digital manipulation. Anesthesia was maintained with 1% - 2% sevofluran and 50% N2O in 50% oxygen. The parameters of controlled ventilation were same in both groups. The attempt times, seal pressure and grade of fiberoptic (FOB ) laryngoscopy were measured. SpO2, PErCO2 and peak airway pressure were monitored every 15 minutes after successful laryngeal mask insertion. The complications such as regurgitation of gastric contents and sore throat were assessed by anesthesiologist after surgery. Surgery time, anesthesia time, extubation time and emergence time were recorded. Results Success rate of LMA insertion in both groups were 100%. The first attempt success rates were 90%( 27/30) in group S and 60%( 18/30) in group L (P< 0.05), the FOB grade 4 were 67%(20/30) in group S and 37% (ll/30)in group L(P< 0.05), the maximum seal pressures were (23.6 ± 4.7)cmH2O (1 cm H2O = 0.098 kPa) in group S and (18.8 ± 4.5) cm H2O in group L (P<0.05). SpO2, PErCO2 and peak airway pressure were within normal ranges. The occurrence of sore throat was similar in group S and group L (7 cases vs 6 cases). No signs of regurgitation were detected. Conclusion The SLIPA proved to be a simple, safe and effective airway instrument with little complications during the course of general anesthesia.

This study is to establish a simple and practical co-culture method of cortical neurons and astrocytes of rats. The cortex of the new-born SD rats was digested by 0.125% pancreatic enzyme, and the differential adherence was applied to obtain the mixed cell suspension of neurons and astrocytes. A low concentration of cytarabine was used to inhibit the astrocytes in a moderate way to get neuronal and astrocyte co-culture. The morphological characteristics of the cells in different times were observed under the inverted microscope. The cells began to adhere the wall 2 h after the inoculation. Neurons and astrocytes grew in a good condition under the inverted microscope 9 days after the inoculation. The results of the immunofluorescence staining and Rosenfeld's staining indicated that the co-culture of neurons and astrocytes was successful and the ratio of neurons and astrocytes was close to 1:1. A new neurons and astrocytes co-culture method, which is simple and convenient, was successfully established. It will be an efficient method for the related researches about neuronal and astrocyte co-culture in vitro.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the antitumor activities of kushen (Sophora flavescens) flavonoids (KS-Fs) in vivo and in vitro. METHODS: Cell proliferation was assayed by using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method. H22 hepatocellular carcinoma and S180 sarcoma were induced in ICR mice. Lewis lung carcinoma was induced in C57BL/6 mice. H460 and Eca-109 tumor were induced in Balb/c nude mice by injecting 5x10(5) or 5x10(6) tumor cells in the right flank, respectively. RESULTS: KS-Fs could inhibit the growth of a variety of human tumor cell lines (A549, SPC-A-1, NCI-H460, etc.) in vitro. The antitumor efficacies were confirmed in the mice models of H22, S180 and Lewis lung tumors and the nude mice models of human H460 and Eca-109 xenografted tumors. The oral or intravenous maximum tolerated dose of KS-Fs was more than 2.8 g/kg or 750 mg/kg respectively, far more than the oral medial lethal dose of kushen alkaloids (< or = 1.18 g/kg). No adverse reactions were observed. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that KS-Fs or kurarinone may be developed as a novel antitumor agent.
