The effect of far ultraviolet radiation on scavenging active oxygen radiacal of polysaccharides from Sargassum thvnbergii and Sargassum kvrneri was studied. The results showed that the scavenging superoxide an ion radiacal levels of two polysaccharides were obviously decreased after 24h by UVc radiation,but the inhibition of the peroxidization of PU-FA was very prominent.The changes of IR spectra before and after far ultraviolet radiation on the two polysac-charide were also studied by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)and infrared absorption spectroscopy(IR)

Objective To investigate the effects of CYP3A5~* 3 genetic polymorphism on analgesia with fentanyl. Methods One hundred and eighty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 20-50 yr, Hart nationality, Henan province, scheduled for elective abdominal total hysterectomy or myomectomy under general anesthesia, were enrolled in this study. The polymorphic sites of the CYP3A5~* 3 allele were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The patients were assigned to one of 3 groups according to their genotypes: wild homozygote group, mutation heterozygote group and mutation homozygote group. Midazolam, remifentanyl, propofol and succinylcholine were used for induction of anesthesia. The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation. Remifentanyl, propofol and atracurium were given iv for maintenance of anesthesia. The pain was assessed with visual analog scale (VAS) after consciousness was regained. When VAS score > 3, the patients were given fentanyl 20 μg every 5 min until VAS score was decreased to ≤3 and then patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with fentanyl was started. The background infusion rate of fentanyl 1.0 mg and droperidol 5 mg (in 100 ml normal saline) was 0.5 ml/h. The PCIA pump was programmed to give a 2 ml bolus of fentanyl solution with a 5 min lockout interval, 7 time successful delivery per hour and maximum dosage 145 μg/h, and VAS score was maintained less than 3. The amount of fentanyl used within 24 h after surgery was recorded. Results No significant difference was detected in the fentanyl consumption in the 24 h during PCIA among the 3 groups (P> 0.05). Conclusion The genetic polymorphism CYP3 A5~* 3 is not the factor contributing to the individual variation in the patient's response to analgesia with fentanyl.

Objective:To evaluate the optimization efficacy of low-dose esketamine combined with propofol in the patients with major depressive disorder undergoing modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT).Methods:Fifty-six American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠor Ⅱ patients, aged 18-64 yr, scheduled for MECT for the first time, were assigned into esketamine plus propofol group (group EP, n=28) and propofol group (group P, n=28) according to a ratio of 1∶1 by the random number table method.Esketamine 0.25 mg/kg was intravenously injected before anesthesia induction in group EP, while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group P. Propofol and succinylcholine were then intravenously injected to perform MECT in two groups.The primary outcomes were the remission rate and response rate, and the secondary outcomes included the number of MECT required for response and remission, the seizure duration, energy inhibition index and consumption of propofol for each MECT, and the occurrence of therapy-related adverse reactions and relapse. Results:Compared with group P, the remission rate and response rate were significantly increased, and the number of MECT required for response and remission was decreased, the seizure duration was prolonged, and energy inhibition index was increased, the consumption of propofol was reduced ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the incidence of therapy-related adverse reactions and relapse in group EP ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Low-dose esketamine combined with propofol can enhance the efficacy of MECT and shorten the course of therapy without increasing therapy-related adverse reactions in the patients with major depression.

Objective:To evaluate the value of modified gastroscopic laryngeal mask airway (LMA) for airway management under general anesthesia in the patients with liver cirrhosis undergoing endoscopic esophageal variceal ligation (EVL).Methods:Sixty-two American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱor Ⅲ patients with liver cirrhosis of either sex, aged 25-64 yr, with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, undergoing endoscopic EVL with general anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n=31 each) using a random number table method: tracheal tube group (group T) and modified gastroscopic LMA group (group L). After induction of anesthesia, a tracheal tube was inserted in group T, and a modified gastroscopic LMA was inserted and the patients were mechanically ventilated to maintain P ETCO 2 at 30-40 mmHg in group L. Successful tracheal intubation or insertion of modified gastroscopic LMA, successful ligator insertion and duration of ligator insertion were recorded.The occurrence of intraoperative hypotension, bradycardia and hypoxemia and consumption of propofol and remifentanil were recorded.At 1 min after tracheal intubation or right placement of LMA (T 1), immediately after the ligator insertion (T 2) and at the end of operation (T 3), Peak (P peak) and mean (P mean) airway pressure were monitored, and airway leak pressure in group L was measured.The extubation time, duration of post-anesthesia care unit stay and bucking during extubation were recorded.The occurrence of sore throat and nausea and vomiting was recorded within 6 h after operation.Postoperative satisfaction scores of endoscopists and patients were also recorded. Results:Sixty-one patients were finally enrolled in the study, with 31 in group T and 30 in group L. Compared with group T, no significant changes were found in the success rate of tracheal intubation or LMA placement, success rate of ligator insertion, P mean at each time point, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and postoperative satisfaction score of endoscopists ( P>0.05), duration of the ligator insertion was significantly shortened, P peak at each time point was decreased, the incidence of intraoperative hypotension and bradycardia was decreased, the consumption of propofol and remifentanil was reduced, the incidence of bucking during extubation and postoperative sore throat was reduced, and extubation time and duration of post-anesthesia care unit stay was shortened, and satisfaction scores of patients were increased in group L ( P<0.05). No hypoxemia was found in two groups.Airway leak pressure was maintained at 24-26 cmH 2O at each time point in group L. Conclusions:Modified gastroscopic LMA can be safely and effectively used for airway management under general anesthesia in the patients with liver cirrhosis undergoing EVL.
