Objective:To observe the clinical effect of the combined use of dexmedetomidine and propofol for anesthesia in the elderly patients with painless gastroscopy. Methods:Totally 70 elderly patients with painless gastroscopy were selected and randomly divided into the observation group (35 cases) and the control group (35 cases). The observation group was given dexmedetomidine and propofol for anesthesia, while the control group was given propofol for anesthesia. The anesthesia induction time, the vital signs and recovery time of the patients, intraoperative complications and postoperative adverse reactions were observed and compared between the two groups. Results:The anesthesia induction time of the observation group was shorter than that of the control group (P<0. 01). The mean arterial pressure (MAP) in T2, T3 and T4 stage in the two groups were significantly lower than that in T1 stage (P<0. 05, P<0. 01). The HR in T3 stage and RR in T2 stage in the control group were lower than those in T1 stage (P<0. 05). The RR in T2 stage in the observation group was significantly lower than that in T1 stage (P<0. 05). The MAP in T2 and T3 stage in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0. 01), while that in T4 stage in the observation group was significant-ly lower than that in the control group (P<0. 05). The HR in T3 stage in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0. 05). The incidence of intraoperative complications in the observation group was 5. 7%, while that in the con-trol group was 22. 9%, and there was significant difference between the two groups (P<0. 05). The recovery time in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group (P<0. 01). Conclusion:Dexmedetomidine combined with propofol has better anes-thesia effect and higher safety than propofol alone, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To study the effects of continuous passive motion(CPM)on tissue blood oxygen saturation(StO2)in the edge of wound after anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)reconstruction in rabbits.Methods Twenty male New Zealand rabbits,aged 8 months,received an ACL reconstruction by using double semitendinous tendon autograft in the right hind leg.The rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups postoperatively,namely Cage activity group(n=10)and CPM group(n=10),treated with cage activity and activity by rabbit knee joint continuous passive motion apparatus respectively.On the following day after operation,a near-infrared optical device and ODISseyTM Tissue Oximeter were applied to measure the changes of tissue oxygen saturation(StO2)in the edge of the wound in each cycle(with flexion of 30?-110?)and various CPM speeds(2.35?/s,3.2?/s,and 8?/s),and the optimal CPM range and speed was thus selected for analyzing the changes of StO2 in local tissues of wounds with various angles of CPM in knee joint before the operation and on the 2nd,4th,6th,8th,10th,and 14th postoperative days.Results There was a significant difference with regard to StO2 between CPM group and Cage activity group(P0.05),however,a significant difference was observed among different time points(before the operation,and 2,4,6,8,10,14 days after the operation)(P

Objective　To study the effects of measures for preventing early postburn damage in improving survival rate of burn patients during the third stage. Methods　12 568 burn cases admitted to our institute were chronically divided into three groups (1958-1980;1981-1990;1991-2000). Total burn surface area (TBSA), survival rate, incidence of burn shock, systemic infection and organ damage as well as the main treatments adopted in the recent decade were retrospectively analyzed. Results　Incidence of burn shock, systemic infection and organ damage were significantly lower, and the total survival rate and the survival rate in patients with different TBSA were markedly higher in the third group as compared with those in the first and the second group. Incidence of organ damage in patients treated with delayed fast fluid infusion, early escharectomy en masse, early enteral feeding, early prevention of inhalation injury and gut bacterial translocation were also significantly lower than in the control. Conclusion Measures taken in the third group for preventing early postburn damage play an important role in improving the survival rate of burn patients.

BACKGROUND:For unstable intertrochanteric fracture repair, there are two views:extramedul ary fixation or intramedul ary fixation. Theoretical y, intramedul ary fixation is in line with the principles of minimal y invasive, more mechanical and biological advantages. However, evidence-based medicine and related studies have shown that compared with the extramedul ary fixation, intramedul ary fixation did not reflect the proper theoretical advantage. OBJECTIVE:To compare the biomechanical performance of two kinds of internal fixation systems:dynamic hip screw and Gamma nail which commonly used in repair of intertrochanteric fractures by finite element method, and to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of dynamic hip screw and Gamma nail in treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fracture. METHODS:Three-dimensional finite element model of human femur unstable intertrochanteric fractures (31-A2;AO fracture classification), and the three-dimensional finite element models of dynamic hip screw and Gamma nail were established respectively, and were fixed according to the requirement of orthopedic surgery. The reference load which the joint bearing was at the peak time in adult step state period with the body mass of 700 N was stimulated. The stress distribution of bone, bone-internal fixation model, nail or screw, the strain and deformation of fracture location on the surface of the bone and bone-internal fixation model, the stress distribution along the femur and the loading transfer condition along the internal fixator and the like were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Dynamic hip screw and Gamma nail have good sliding compression features which could make the continuous and dynamical y axial compression of the fractured section. Under the load conditions, the displacement value of dynamic hip screw was larger. In the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fracture, Gamma nail was stronger than dynamic hip screw. Two kinds of internal fixations al make the bearing load of the proximal femur reduce. In the treatment of 31-A2 type unstable intertrochanteric fractures, we should choose dynamic hip screw for fixation if the femoral calcar was not seriously crushed, little defect or no defects and can immediately rebuild the stability of femoral calcar during operation, otherwise, stronger internal fixation, namely Gamma nail fixation should be chosen.

Objective To investigate the pathogens distribution and their drug resistance of blood culture-positive neonates with sepsis in neonatal intensive care unit(NICU) and to provide evidence for clinically reasonable use of antibiotics.Methods One thousand four hundred and fifty neonates admitted to our NICU of Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical College from Jan 2009 to Jul 2011 were enrolled.The blood samples from 1 450 neonates were cultured and isolated,and all of the isolates and their resistances were analyzed retrospectively.Results A total of 9 species and 233 pathogenic strains were isolated from 1 450 specimens,and the positive rate was 16.1％.Among the 233 strains,93 strains were gram-positive cocci,103 strains were gram-negative bacilli,and 37 strains were fungus.Among gram-positive cocci,the most dominant organism was coagulase negative staphylococcus,the next was Staphylococcus aureus;while among gram-negative bacilli,Ktebsiella pneumoniae were the most frequently isolated,the next were Escherichia coli and Acinetobacter baumannii,and among the fungus,monilia were the most isolated.The resistance rates of gram-positive cocci to vancomycin,linezolid and teicoplanin were high.Moreover,the antibiotic resistance rates to penicillin,oxazocilline and the β-lactamase were more than 95％.Gram-negative bacilli were sensitive to levofloxacin,imipenem and meropenem.A majority of fungus was Monilia,which was sensitive to antifungal.Conclusion Coagulase negative staphylococcus,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli are the the most common pathogens of neonatal sepsis in NICU,and have high drug resistance.Clinicians should select sensitive drug treatment according to bacterial identification and susceptibility testing.Besides,mycotic infection cannot be ignored and merit our attention.
