Objective To determine the accuracy of renal blood flow assessment by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) during carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum.Methods The left renal arterial diameter (RAD) and the Doppler velocity time integral (VTI) were measured by TEE before peumoperitoneum (T0, baseline), at 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 min of pneumoperitoneum and 1 and 5 min after deflation in 35 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The left renal blood flow (LRBF) and the left renal blood perfusion resistance (LRPR) were calculated according to the following formulae: LRBF = 1/4π x RAD2 x VTI x HR, LRPR = MAP/LRBF.Three months later, the TEE images of 10 cases were randomly selected and reviewed by the same and another research team member to check the repeatability and consistency of the LRBF determination during operation, respectively. The quality of the TEE images was evaluated by another specialist.Results Before pneumoperitoneum, 94% of the TEE images were rated as satisfactory. There was no significant difference between the qualities of the TEE images obtained before and during pneumoperitoneum. The variabilities between the RADs measured by TEE during and 3 months after operation were 9.28% by the same team member and 8.71% by another team member. The variabilities between the VTIs measured by TEE during and 3 months after operation were 5.61% by the same team member and 6.25% by another team member. The linear regression analysis of the LRBF showed that the slope and the intercept were 1.05 and 31.4 ml/min respectively by the same member and 0.92 and 47.3 ml/min respectively by another member. The LRBF was decreased during pneumoperitoneum and the LRPR was increased.Conclusion TEE can be used to accurately monitor the changes in renal blood flow during CO2 pneumoperitoneum.

Objective To study the preoperative self-efficacy of patients with lumbar disc herniation(LDH) and its influential factors. Methods Seventy-six patients with LDH underwent operation from June 2008 to March 2009 were enrolled in the current study. The patients were investigated with GSES,SAS,SDS and self-made general characteristics before operation. The data were analyzed with SPSS 11.5. Results The score of preoperative self-efficacy was 25. 84 ±6. 76. The course of disease, education level, patients' hobbits could affect self-efficacy (F = 15. 371,P<0.01;F = 18.078,P<0.01;t =2. 368,P<0. 05). Preoperative self-efficacy correlated negatively with the course of disease (r = - 0.541, P < 0. 01). And preoperative self-efficacy correlated with education level and hobbits(r = 0. 589, P < 0. 01; r = 0. 226, P < 0.05) . The score of preoperative dysphoria and depression was significantly higher than norm (P < 0. 01) . Preoperative self-efficacy correlated negatively with dysphoria and depression (r = -0. 494, P < 0.01; r = - 0. 443, P < 0. 01). Conclusions The score of preoperative self-efficacy with LDH is low; the score of preoperative dysphoria and depression is high. Preoperative self-efficacy correlated negatively with the course of disease. And preoperative self-efficacy correlated with education level and hobbits; Preoperative self-efficacy correlated negatively with preoperative dysphoria and depression.
