Purpose To investigate the influence of single slow intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine (Dex) on femoral artery color Doppler hemodynamics during the induction of general anesthesia. Materials and Methods Forty patients of elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia were elected and randomly divided into Dex group and the control group, with 20 cases in each group. Dex (0.2 μg/kg) 20 ml was injected with intravenous infusion in Dex group, and 20 ml saline was infused in control group, the infusion time was 10 min;then intravenous injection of Sufentanil, Propofol and Rocuronium were performed in turn for the induction of general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation. Femoral artery peak systolic velocity (Vs), early diastolic reverse peak velocity (Vd), systolic diameter (Ds), diastolic diameter (Dd), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) changes at each time point were observed and recorded. Results ① Compared with baseline, Vs increased and Vd decreased (P<0.05) 10 min after the infusion of Dex in Dex group;after induction, Vs and Vd in both of the two groups decreased, and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05);Vs reduced significantly in both of the two groups at the intubation moment and 1, 3, 5 min after intubation, but the Dex group changed more smoothly (P<0.05), and Vd raised in both groups with the Dex group changing more smoothly (P>0.05);Ds and Dd of both groups did not change significantly at each time point (P>0.05). ② Compared with baseline, MAP and HR decreased (P<0.05) after the infusion of Dex in Dex group;after induction, MAP and HR of both groups decreased, and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05); MAP and HR increased in both groups at intubation moment, but the Dex group changed more smoothly than the control group (P<0.05).③SBP, DBP and HR were negatively correlated with Vs (r=-0.507,-0.619,-0.750, P<0.05) in both groups; SBP, DBP and HR were positively correlated with Vd (r=0.821, 0.881, 0.883, P<0.05) in both groups;there was no significant correlation (r=0.419, P>0.05) between Vs and Vd. Conclusion Single slow intravenous infusion of Dex (0.2μg/kg) can accelerate the femoral artery Vs and slow down the Vd, resulting in more stable hemodynamics during the induction of general anesthesia.

Objective To investigate the changes in plasma concentrations of IL-6 and IL-10, pHi and the difference between tissue and arterial PCO2 [(P(t-a)CO2 ] during pulmonary surgery and the effects of thoracic epidural anesthesia on cytokine production and gut mucosal perfusion. Methods Twenty ASA class Ⅰ - Ⅱ patients undergoing elective pulmonary surgery, were randomly assigned to be operated upon under general anesthesia (group GA , n = 10) or under general anesthesia combined with thoracic epidural anesthesia (group GEA, n - 10) . Premedication in both groups consisted of pethidine 50mg and scopolamine 0.3 mg im 30 min prior to surgery and oral ranitidine 150 mg the night and 1 h before operation. Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl 2 ug?kg-1 , droperidol 1 mg, propofol 1.5-2.5 mg?kg-1 and succinylcholine 1-2 mg?kg-1 and maintained with inhalation of 1%-2.5% isoflurane and 50% N2O in oxygen and intermittent iv boluses of fentanyl and vecuronium. In GEA group epidural catheter was inserted through the needl placed at T7-8 or T8-9 and advanced cephalad for 2.5-3.0 cm. A loading dose of morphine 2 mg was given followed by epidural infusion of 0.4% ropivacaine at a rate of 6 ml?h-1 during maintenance of anesthesia and the concentration of isoflurance inhaled was reduced to 0.6%-1. 5% . Postoperative analgesia was provided by epidural infusion of 0.25% ropivacaine at 6-8 ml/2h until the morning of the 3rd postoperative day. Blood samples were taken before induction, at incision and 2 h, 4 h and 6 h after the incision and on the 1st and the morning of the 3rd postoperative day for determination of IL-6 ( by radioimmunoassay) and IL-10 (ELISA) . P(t-a)CO2 and pHi were assessed by tonometry before induction, at incision and 1 h, 2 h, 4 h and 6 h after the incision. Results (1) IL-6 and IL-10 increased significantly during operation as compared with the baseline value before induction in both groups and there was no significant difference between the two groups. (2) pHi decreased significantly during operation in both groups and there was no significant difference between the two groups. pHi was negatively correlated with IL-6. (3) P(t-a)CO2 increased significantly during operation in both groups and was negatively correlated with pHi. P(t-a)CO2 was significantly higher in GA group than that in GEA group at 4h after skin incision. Conclusion Pulmonary surgery elicits both pro- and and-inflammatory cytokine response which is not affected by thoracic epidural analgesia. Thoracic surgery leads to gut mucosal hypoperfusion of which P(t-a)CO2 is an indicator. Thoracic epidural anesthesia can improve gut mucosal perfusion. There may be some correlation between cytokine production and gut mucosal hypoperfusion.

Objective To observe the effects of low frequency electrical stimulation (LFES) on the proliferation of endogenous brain neural stem cells (NSCs) and on the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in rats with acute cerebral infarction; to explore the therapeutic mechanism of LFES in improving neural function. Methods Fifty-four rats were randomly divided into a LFES group, a placebo stimulation group and a sham-operated group. Each group was further divided into 3rd day, 7th day and 14th day subgroups, with 6 rats in each subgroup. An acute cerebral infarction model was induced in the rats of the LFES and placebo stimulation groups by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Three days after the operation, rats in the LFES group began LFES treatment (frequency 30 Hz, pulse width 250 μs, current intensity 3 mA, 10 min/d) ,while the placebo stimulation group was treated identically but without electricity. The rats in the sham-operated group had no special treatment. The expression of nestin positive cells in the subgranular zone of the hippocampus and the subventricular zone was detected by immunohistochemical staining. The expression of bFGF, EGF proteins and mRNA in the ischemic hemisphere was detected by Western blotting and RT-PCR analysis. A screen test was applied to evaluate motor function. Results Nestin-positive cells in the subgranular and subventricular zones of rats in the LFES group increased significantly more than in the placebo stimulation group at the 7th and 14th day. The expression of bFGF, EGF proteins and mRNA in the ischemic hemisphere was up-regulated compared to the placebo stimulation group at the 7th and 14th day. At the 14th day a difference in motor function was observed in rats in the LFES group compared with the placebo stimulation group. Conclusion LFES can promote the proliferation of endogenous brain NSCs and the expression of bFGF and EGF in rats with acute cerebral infarction. It can also improve motor function and enhance neural plasticity in the brain.

Objective To explore the effect of ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block (SGB) in the incidence of postoperative headache, nausea and vomiting in conventional thyroidectomy. Methods Ninety patients undergoing conventional thyroidectomy were randomly allocated to three groups with 30 patients in each group. In group L, SGB was performed with 5 ml 0.5% lidocaine; in group N, SGB was performed with 5 ml 0.9% sodium chloride; and in group C, no prior block was performed. Postoperatively, during the 48 h after surgery, every episode of postoperative headache and postoperative nausea and vomiting was recorded and a safety assessment was performed. In group L and group N, the hemodynamic status of the vertebral artery and carotid artery was recorded before and after the SGB was performed. In group C, the hemodynamic status of the vertebral artery and carotid artery was recorded before and after the neck was in the full extension position. Results One patient of group N and one patient of group C was discharged. During the 48 h after surgery, headache occured in 5 patients (16.7%) of group L, 8 patients (27.6%) of group N, and 17 patients (58.6%) of group C, and the headache rate in group C was significantly higher than that in group L (P=0.0007). The headache mostly occurred at 2 h and 4 h after operation. During the 48 h after surgery, nausea and vomiting occured in 8 patients (26.7%) of group L, 11 patients (37.9%) of group N, and 20 patients (60.9%) of group C, and the nausea and vomiting rate in group C was significantly higher than that in group L (P=0.0017) and group N (P=0.0343). The nausea and vomiting mostly occurred at 2 h and 4 h after operation.In group L and group N, and the inner diameters of the vertebral and carotid arteries after SGB were wider than those before SGB (P<0.05). In group C, the inner diameters of the vertebral and carotid arteries after the neck extension position were narrower than prostration position (P<0.05). No side effects were observed during or after SGB. Conclusions Preoperative SGB performed with 5 ml 0.5%lidocaine is an effective technique for reducing postoperative headache and nausea and vomiting after thyroidectomy.

Objective We compare the effects of fibrinogen gel and chitin on BMSCs to chondrocytes differentiation in order to explore the relationship between three-dimensional scaffold and cartilage tissue engineering seed cells BMSCs differentiation. Methods BMSCs together with chitin and fibrin gel complexes were cultured in vitro and implanted into rat's articular cartilage defect location.
