Objective To determine the median effective dose of remifentanil for maintaining the tolerance to ProSeal laryngeal mask airway in awake and spontaneously breathing patients.Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ orⅡpatients aged 20-55 years old were recruited.Sixty patients was randomized into six groups with 10 case each Remifentanil was infused in a dose of 0.061,0.048,0.039,0.03,0.025 or 0.02μg·kg~(-1) 5 minutes after inserting PLMA.Single dose of remifentanil 0.25/μg/kg was given before continuous intravenous infusion.Respiratory response subscore of comfort scale(CSRR)and Ramsay sedation scale(RSS)were recorded after 25 minutes.ED50 was calculated.Results The ED50 of remifentanil for ProSeal laryngeal mask airway tolerance was 0.027μg·kg~(-1)(95%CI:0.023-0.030μg·kg~(-1)·min~(-1)in awake and spontaneously breathing patients.Conclusion The patients tolerate stimulus of laryngeal mask with a low dose continuous intravenous infusion of remifentanil in awake.and can maintain the hemodynamics stable.

Objective To investigate the effects of chloroquine (CQ) on the acute lung injury (ALI) induced by total hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) .Methods Ninety SD rats of both sexes weighing 300-350g were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=30 each) : group A sham operation; group B total hepatic I/R and group C CQ + total hepatic I/R. The animals were anesthetized with 3% pentobarbital 45 mg?kg-1. Total hepatic I/R was produced by occlusion of hepatic hilum, supra-and infra-hepatic inferior vena cava for 20 min and the occlusion was then released for reperfusion. In group C CQ 10 mg?kg-1 in normal saline (NS) 1 ml?kg-1 was injected via right femoral vein 10 min before abdomen was opened. In group A and B NS 1 ml?kg-1 was given Ⅳ instead of CQ. The animals were killed at the end of 20 min ischemia (T0); 4 h of reperfusion (T1) and 48 h of reperfusion (T2) (n=10 at each time point). Blood samples were taken at T0 and T1 from portal vein of liver for determination of plasma D-lactate, endotoxin (ETX) and TNF-? concentrations. 48 h survival rate was recorded and the animals were then killed for microscopic examination of the lung.Results Portal vein plasma D-lactate, ETX and TNF-? concentrations at T0 and T1 in group B were significantly higher than those in group A. In group C pretreatment significantly attenuated the increases induced by hepatic I/R. The 48-hour survival rate was significantly higher in group C than in group B. The histologic damage was significantly lighter in group C than in group B. Conclusion CQ has protective effects on the lung against injury induced by total hepatic I/R.

Objective To investigate the effects of esmolol and remifentanil on minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane in patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery. Methods One hundred ASAⅠorⅡpatients aged 18-60 yr undergoing upper abdominal surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=20 each):group A isoflurane alone; group B isoflurane + large dose esmolol; group C isoflurane + remifentanil; group D isoflurane + remifentanil + small dose esmolol and group E isoflurane + remifentanil + large dose esmolol. In group B and E esmolol was infused at 250 μg·kg-1·min-1 after a loading dose of 1 mg/kg (large dose esmolol). In group D esmolol was infused at 50 μg'kg-1·min-1 after a loading dose of 0.5 mg/kg (small dose esmolol). In group C, D and E remifentanil was infused at 0.05 μg·kg-1·min-1 after a loading dose of 0.25 μg/kg. As soon as the patients lost consciousness, tracheal intubation was facilitated with succinyl choline 1.5 mg/kg. The patients were mechanically ventilated (VT=8 ml/kg, RR 12 bpm, FiO2= 100% ). PET CO2 was maintained at 32-38 mm Hg and naso-pharyngeal temperature above 35.5℃. End-tidal isoflurane concentration was continuously monitored. If the patient moved his/her hand, foot, head or body within 60 seconds after skin incision was made the end-tidal isoflurane concentration was increased by 10% in the next patient; if the patient did not respond to skin incision the end-tidal concentration of isoflurane was decreased by 10% in the next patient. The initial end-tidal isoflurane concentration was 1.24% in group A and B, 0.78% in group C, D and E. Results The MAC of isoflurane was 1.24% ± O.14%, 1.22%±0.09%, 0.77%± 0.05%, 0.75% ±0.06%, 0.60%±0.05% in group A, B, C, D, E respectively. Remifentanil significantly reduced MAC of isoflurane in group C, D and E as compared with group A. The MAC of isoflurane was significantly lower in group E than in group C. Conclusion Remifentanil infusion at 0.05 μg·kg-1·min-1 combined with large dose esmolol can reduce MAC of isdlurane by 52% in patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery.

Clinical data of 21 pregnant women with scrub typhus were analyzed retrospectively.They all had fever,13 of them with lymph nodes enlargement,12 with skin rashes,11 with eschar or ulcer,and 20 positive with Weil-Felix reaction.Oxytetracycline was given in 17 of them and other four were treated by azithromycin,with all cured.Seven of them gave natural childbirth at the 37th week of gestation,nine were aborted inductively,three aborted spontaneously and two delivered premature births.Scrub typhus was harmful to both pregnant women and their fetuses,early diagnosis and treatment are necessary for patients with it for avoiding exacerbation and reducing fatality.

Objective To analyze the effect and safety of interventional therapy by trans uterine artery for treatment of tubal pregnancy. Methods Forty-two patients with tubal pregnancy were performed two side uterine arteries. MTX perfusion and embolization with gelfoam particles guided by DSA fluoroscopy. Results Forty patients obtained the decline of serum β-HCG value and 39 patients' ectopic mass absorption after treatment. Two patients occurred ectopic mass bleeding after interventional therapy and emergency surgical operation were done, but the amount of bleeding was low than 400ml. Conclusion Interventional therapy by trans uterine artery for treatment of tubal pregnancy could preserve the function of fallopian tubal, it was more benefit for patients who want normal pregnancy.

Objective To evaluate the effect of esmolol on bispectral index (BIS) in patients undergoing orotracheal intubation during induction of anesthesia and to investigate the mechanism of inhibiting the cardiovascular responses to tracheal intubation.Methode Forty patients in physical status of ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ and aged 20-60 years were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 20 each): esmolol group (group E) and control group (group C). Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.1 mg/kg, fentanyl 5 μg/kg and vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg. In group E, esmolol 1 mg/kg was given intravenously before anesthesia induction and followed by an infusion of esmolol 250 μg· kg- 1·min-1, while a comparable volume of saline was given for group C. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and BIS were recorded before esmolol administration, before induction of anesthesia, before orotracheal intubation, and at 1, 2 and 5 min after intubation, respectively.Results There were no significant differences in HR, MAP and BIS between the two groups before tracheal intubation. HR and MAP significantly increased after tracheal intubation in both groups, but BIS only in group C significantly increased after intubation.HR, MAP and BIS were significantly lower after intubation in group E than in group C ( P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Esmolol can decrease BIS during tracheal intubation and its antinociceptive property is related to the mechanism of inhibiting cardiovascular responses to tracheal intubation.
