Objective To investigate the effect of midazolam on ventilatory response to carbondioxide (CO2) when it is used as sedative supplement to epidural blockade(EB). Methods Fifteen ASAⅠ -Ⅱ patients [age (49±7) years , weight (56±13)kg] undergoing upper abdominal surgery were studied. Patients with respiratory disease were excluded. No patient was addicted to smoking, alcohol,received any sedatives or hypotics within one month before surgery. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular phenobarbital 0. 1g and atropine 0.5mg. Epidural catheter was inserted in a cephala direction for 4 cm into epidural space via the tuohy needle at T9.10. 1% lidocaine and 0.2% pontocaine solution was used for epidural block. The level of block was T3.5. When the level of block was fixed, midazolam 0.1mg/kg was given intravenously. Respiratory rate(RR), tidal volume (VT), end-tidal concentration of CO2 (PETCO2) and pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) were measured before anesthesia (baseline values), before midazolam when the level of block was fixed and 5 min after midazolam. Measurement of ventilatory response to CO2: the patient was asked to breathe with a closed system without a CO2 absorber. PET CO2 increased to 55 mm Hg in 6-10 min. RR, VT and minute ventilation (MV) were measured at PETCO2 40, 45, 50, and 55 mm Hg. The patient then breathed fresh air and PETCO2 returned to normal. 5 min after midazolam the measurment was repeated. The CO2 ventilatory response curve was obtained by plotting MV against the corresponding PET CO2. Results PET CO2, RR and SpO2 did not change significantly after epidural block and midazolam. There was no significant change in VT after epidural block as compared with the baseline value but VT decreased significantly after midazolam (P<0.01).There was no significant change in the slope of CO2 ventilatory response curve before and after midazolam but MV at different PET CO2 decreased significantly 5 min after midazolam. Conclusions Midazolam 0. 1mg/kg given after epidural block decreases VT but depression of respiratory center is slight and lasts for only a short period of time.[Key Words] Midazolam; Anesthesia, epidural; Carbon dioxide

Objective To investigate the effects of anesthesia on plasma level of endothelin(ET) and atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP) in patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery. Methods Thirty ASA Ⅰ -Ⅱ patients(14 male, 16 female), aged 31-68 years and weighing 41-82kg, undergoing elective upper abdominal surgery were divided into three groups with ten patients in each group: Ⅰ desflurane group,Ⅱ isoflurane group and Ⅲ propofol group. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular phenobarbital sodium O.1g and atropine 0.5mg. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.lmg?kg-1, propofol 1 mg?kg-1, vecuronium .015mg?kg-1 and fentanyl 4?g?kg-1 . After intubation the patients were mechanically ventilated and PET CO2 was maintained with 1.0 MAC desflurane in group I or 1.0 MAC isoflurane in groupⅡ or propofol infusion at 60-70 ?g ?kg-1?min-1 in groupⅢ and vecuronium infusion at l-2?g?kg-1?min-1 . ECG, HR, BP, SpO2, PETCO2, end-tidal concentration of desflurane or isoflurane, tidal volume (VT), total compliance ( C?), Pplat, Ppeak were monitored during anesthesia. Blood samples were taken from peripheral vein before anesthesia(T1 ), after induction(T2), 10 min(T3), 50 min(T4) after skin incision and at the end of surgery(T5 ) for determination of plasma levels of ET and ANP by radioimmunoassay. Results (1) There was no significant difference in plasma levels of ET between group Ⅰ and Ⅱ , but ET level decreased significantly during isoflurane inhalation. (2) There was no significant change in plasma ANP level during anesthesia in group I but plasma ANP level decreased significantly at 50 min after skin incision in group Ⅱ and increased significantly at the end of operation in group Ⅲ . (3) MAP decreased significantly after induction in the three groups.Conclusions Anesthesia induced with propofol and maintained with isoflurane could be anesthesia of choice patients with airwayhyperreactivity in terms of plasma ET level which is a strong bronchial constrictor.

Objective Surgical stress induces a series of endocrine and metabolic changes including glucose metabolism and insulin-resistance. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the changes in glucose transporter-4 (Glut-4) mRNA expression in skeletal muscle after cholecystectomy under epidural block. Methods One gram of the rectus abdominis muscle was taken while abdomen was being opened and closed in patients undergoing cholecystectomy under epidural block. Total RNA of the muscle cells was extracted by trizol one-step template. RT-PCR was used to determine the Glut-4 mRNA amplification products with ?-actin mRNA as an internal control. The Glut-4 mRNA expression was expressed by (desired gene/ ?-actin?100% . The plasma glucose and insulin levels were determined at the same time. Results Glut-4 mRNA expression was significantly reduced (P 0.05 ) . Conclusions The results indicated that the synthesis of Glut-4 is suppressed by surgical stress of cholecystectomy under epidural block leading to insulin resistance.
