Clinical Medicine of China 2014;30(11):1124-1126
Objective To investigate the different doses of dexmedetomidine on reducing the effects of restlessness after anesthesia.Methods Forty-eight patients who occurred restlessness after general anesthesia were collected and randomly divided into A,B,C group (16 cases in each group).Dexmedetomidine were given at dose of 0.3 μg/kg,0.5 μg/kg,1.0 μg/kg for treatment as A,B,C group.Blood pressure,heart rate,Riker sedation-restlessness (SAS) score and other changes of patients were recorded at different time points after treatment.Results SAS scores were significantly lower in B,C groups than that in A group (P < 0.05) at immediately after administration and 5 min and 10 min after administration.Systolic pressure and heart rate were significantly lower in C group than in B,A group (P < 0.05) at immediately after administration and 5 min after administration.Only the heart rate in B group at immediately after administration was lower than that in A group.Time in the recovery room in B group was (37.5 ± 6.4) min,significantly lower than A group and C group ((43.2 ± 8.9) min,(47.5 ± 9.8) min ; F =14.362 ; P < 0.001).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine is a more ideal sedation drug and 0.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine can reduce restlessness and cardiovascular reactions in patients with restlessness after general anesthesia,which is the best recommending therapeutic dose.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of dibutyl phthalate on rat sperm production and quality. Methods:Totally 150 male rats were randomly divided into the low dose group (50 mg·kg-1), the middle dose group (200 mg·kg-1), the high dose group (1 000 mg·kg-1 ) , the blank control group and the solvent control group ( peanut oil as the control) with 30 ones in each. After continu-ous administration for every 30 days, 10 rats from each group were anatomized, the weight of testes and epididymides were determined, and one side of epididymis was used to carry out the sperm analysis including counting, survival rate and morphology. Results:After intragastric administration for 90 days, the sperm count and survival rate, the weight of testis and epididymis and organ coefficient in the middle dose group and high dose group were decreased significantly(P<0. 05 or 0. 01). Conclusion:The long-term administration of dibutyl phthalate at high dose exhibits notable toxicity on rat reproductive function.

Objective To explore the value of phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MR) in diagnosis of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) in pediatric patients. Methods Totally 42 patients (aged from 9 months to 15 years) with secundum ASD proved with tansthoric echocardiographic (TTE) were evaluated with PC-MRI. Images of the flow through ASD were obtained with PC-MRI. The distances of ASD rim to superior vena cava (SVC), inferior vena cava (IVC), atrioventricular valves (AVV) and right upper pulmonary vein (RUPV), as well as the entrances of the vena cava and right upper pulmonary vein (RUPV) were assessed. Results The sizes of ASD and distances of ASD rim to the adjacent structures (SVC, RVC, AVV and RUPV) at PC-MRI were well consistent with those of TTE in 42 patients (P<0.001). PC-MRI results in 26 patients correlated well with surgical results (P<0.001). With different velocity encoding, compared with surgical results, measurements of ASD's sizes were more accurate when setting velocity from 50 to 70 cm/s than 90 cm/s. Conclusion The shape of ASD can be virtually depicted with PC-MRI. PC-MRI can accurately assess the defect size, number, rim distances to adjacent structures, therefore providing a new method for depiction of congenital heart anomaly.

Objective To observe the cerebral protective effect of mild hypothermia by semiconductor cooling device on the liver surface in rabbits after cardiac arrest (CA). Methods Eighteen healthy male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly and equally divided into CA control group, ice saline group and semiconductor group. CA was induced by rapid intravenous injection of potassium chloride. Five minutes after onset of CA, CPR was initiated. Compared to the control group, which was not treated by hypothermia intervention after CPR, the ice saline group was treated by 4 ℃ ice saline infusion and the semiconductor group was treated by the semiconductor refrigeration piece device cooling on the liver surface for hypothermia intervention after CPR. We recorded the changes of temperature (tympanic temperature and anus temperature), heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP) of rabbits in each group, neurological deficit scores (NDS) at 24, 48, 72 hours after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and the changes of serum neuron specific enolase (NSE) by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Pathological changes of the hippocampus tissue, liver tissue and skin tissue were obtained by HE staining. Results There was no significant difference in ROSC time in each group. Two rabbits died at 55 hours and 67 hours after ROSC respectively in the control group. The remaining rabbits survived to 72 hours after challenge. There was no significant difference in the overall survival time in groups. Two hypothermia intervention groups had significantly lower level of serum NSE at 24 hours after ROSC and lower DNS scores at 24, 48, 72 hours after ROSC than control group. And the level of serum NSE after 24 hours of ROSC in the semiconductor group were significantly lower than the ice saline group (μg/L: 6.916±1.161 vs. 8.615±1.430, P < 0.05). DNS scores at 24, 48, 72 hours after ROSC in the semiconductor group were all significantly lower than the ice saline group (scores: 1.33±0.52 vs. 2.00±0.01, 1.01±0.41 vs. 2.00±0.01, 0.92±0.40 vs. 2.10±0.52 respectively, all P < 0.05). Two hypothermia intervention groups had more minor damage of neuronal cell in hippocampus than the control group. And the semiconductor group had more minor damage than the ice saline group. There were no obvious hepatic and subcutaneous tissue injury through which the semiconductor induced hypothermia was performed at corresponding liver surface skin. Conclusion The hypothermia by semiconductor cooling device on the liver surface is a new safe way of protecting brain tissue after CA, which has better cerebral protective effect than ice saline infusion.

Aim To determine the plasma protein binding rate of five components of Eucommia ulmoides extract. Methods The equilibrium dialysis method was used to study the plasma protein binding rate. The plasma samples were extracted by protein precipitation with methanol. With the use of puerarin as the internal standard, UPLC-MS/MS was carried out to determine the concentration of the five compounds in and out of the dialysis membrane. Results The average plasma protein binding rates of five compounds on the area of the concentration which was determinate were as fol-lows, respectively: geniposidic acid was ( 25. 77 ± 2. 68 )%, protocatechuic acid was ( 57. 54 ± 3. 79)%, chlorogenic acid was (53. 91 ± 3. 00)%, pinoresinol diglucoside was (24. 15 ± 4. 92)%, and pinoresinol singleglucoside was (49. 78 ± 3. 61)%. Conclusions The results show that the binding percentage of geniposidic acid and pinoresinol diglucoside is relatively low, but the binding rate of the others with rat plasma protein is moderate.
