Objective The aim of this study was to explore possible pharmacokinetic factors and develop a population pharmacokinetic model for remifentanil in adult patients.Methods Eleven healthy patients,undergoing elective major abdominal surgery,aged 25 to 86 years,received random-ly remifentanil 0.3μg·kg-1 ·min-1 (group R3),or 0.6μg·kg-1 ·min-1 (group R6).Frequent ar-terial blood samples were drawn according to predetermined time and assayed for remifentanil concen-tration.Nonlinear mixed-effects modeling (NONMEM)was used to evaluate the time courses of the measured concentrations.The covariates include age,bodyweight (WT),gender,lean body mass (LBM),body mass index (BMI)and body surface area (BSA).Results The pharmacokinetic data of remifentanil were well described using a three-compartment linear model with first-order elimination from the central compartment.Forward analysis showed that age,height and body mass index (BMI) does not affect the pharmacokinetic parameters,which are contrast with body weight,lean body mass (LBM),body surface area (BSA)and gender;further analysis demonstrated only a significant effect of body weight on remifentanil systemic clearance (CL)and volume of the central compartment (V). For typical 60 years patients,PK parameters were:V1 =7.64 L,V2 =4.81 L,V3 =4.34 L,CL1 =2.74 L/min,CL2 = 0.738 L/min,CL3 = 0.0905 L/min.Conclusion The pharmacokinetics of remifentanil is consistent with its rapid elimination by blood and tissue esterase in Chinese patients. The systemic clearance and volume of distribution of central compartment increases with body weight in the population and the range of covariates studied,which suggests that a patient with greater body weight needs a greater initial dose and maintenance infusion rate higher to obtain a stable plasma con-centrations and clinical effects.

AIM:To compare the higher-order aberrations between implantations of AcrySof and AcrySof ReStor multifocal aspherical intraocular lens(IOL) with various pupil diameters.METHODS:Fifty-four patients(62 eyes)with bilateral senile cataracts were retrospectively selected.Patients were operated with phacoemulsification and IOL implantation.They were divided into two groups based on the IOL implantation of AcrySof IQ and AcrySof ReStor.Wave front aberration:spherical aberration(C12)and the root mean square of the total higher-order aberration(RMSh)were observed 3 months after surgery.RESULTS:The larger the pupil was, the higher the C12 and RMSh were in the eyes (P<0.01).There were no statistical differences in C12 or RMSh between two groups at 5, 6 or 7mm pupil diameters (P>0.05). CONCLUSION:There are no differences between AcrySof IQ group and AcrySof ReStor group at 5, 6 or 7mm pupil diameters.

Objective To detect levels of serum platelet activating factor(PAF),thrombomodulin(TM) and white blood cell(WBC),platelet count(PLT) in neonates with meconium aspiration syndrome(MAS),and observe changes of mediators of inflammation and function of endotheliocute.Methods All cases were taken vein blood in 24 h and 72-96 h after birth.Surm PAF and TM were detected by EILSA technique,at the same time,blood cell counts were determined.Results PAF and WBC in neonates with MAS increased,which were relevant to the patients′ condition.TM of neonates with MAS increased significantly,especially in 72-96 h after birth and(aggrava)-ted with the patients′ condition.Conclusion Neonates with MAS have inflammatory reaction and injured endotheliocyte,which are(inte)-raction.

Objective To study the change of the level of serum leptin in children with primary nephritic syndrome(PNS)treated with glucocorticosteroid.Methods Totally 30 PNS patients and 26 healthy children in whom were a matchable age,sex and body mass index(BMI)with the PNS patients were recruited in this study.The PNS patients were treated with prednisone in middle-term or long-term coure of treatment.Serum leptin and BMI of PNS patients were abserved before treatment,after 2,6 months treatment and in the end.The se-rum total cholesteroc(TC)and triglyeride(TG)were abserved in PNS patients after 2,6 months treatment and in the end.Results The se-rum leptin level was(2.75?2.29)?g/L in the PNS patient before treatment and control group was(2.65?2.22)?g/L.There was not significantly different between the PNS patient and control group.The level of serum leptin after 2 months treatment was(9.29?7.19)?g/L and BMI was(18.12?1.90)kg/m2.They were higher than that in control group,6 months treatment and in the end(Pa

A method for residual determination of 5 pyrethroid pesticides in Anoectochilus roxburghii by cloud point extraction-back extraction-GC-MS was established. PEG 6000 was used as extraction agent and isooctane was used for back-extractant. The con- tent was calculated by external standard method. The linear range was from 15 to 2 000 μg x kg(-1) with the good correlation coefficients (0.955-0.999). The recoveries at spiked concentrations of 50-500 μg x kg(-1) ranged from 85.12% to 101.6%. The limit of detection and quantification of 5 pyrethroid pesticides were in the range of 0.63-3.10 μg x kg(-1) and 2.10-10.31 μg x kg(-1), respectively. The proposed method can be applied to the determination of pyrethroid pesticides residues in A. roxburghii.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of uterine artery embolization chemotherapy in the treatment of special site pregnancy .Methods 36 patients with special site pregnacy were randomly divided into the observation group and control group .The control group received uterine curettage after uterine artery embolization treatment,the observation group received bilateral uterine artery perfusion of methotrexate combined with uterine cu -rettage after embolization therapy .Time of-HCG returned to normal ,intraoperative blood loss ,hospitalization time and incidence rate of complications were compared between the two groups .Results After treatment,the time of -HCG returned to normal,intraoperative blood loss and hospitalization time in the observation group were (27.3 ±3.2)h, (120.5 ±18.3) mL,(85.6 ±8.4) h,which were significantly less than (76.4 ±8.2) h,(375.1 ±68.4) ml and (147.1 ±10.5)h in the control group (t=6.75,4.54,4.43,all P<0.05).The incidence rate of complication in the observation group was 16.8%,which was significantly lower than 50.1% in the control group (χ2 =4.49,P <0.05).Conclusion The uterine artery chemotherapy and embolization in the treatment of special parts of pregnancy can significantly shorten the hospitalization time and time of -HCG returned to normal ,reduce the intraoperative blood loss,the clinical effect is good ,it can be used as an effective method for the treatment of special site pregnancy .

Objectives:To study working memory deficit after stroke.Methods:118 patients with stroke di- agnosed by CT scans(study group)and 118 healthy people(control group)were collected from April to December in 2003.All objects were evaluated with Wechsler Memory Scale(WMS),Trail Making Test A and B,and Wisconsin Card Test(WSCT).Results:There were significant difference between the study group and control group in execu- tive function,attention function,visual recognition and visual recall;The study group had more error in Trail making Test B,A and executive error((?)?SE was 200.0?15.2,76.3?10.4,23.9?0.9)than control group(133.3?7.2, 24.2?1.6,9.9?0.5).Compared with control,patients with stroke of different locations had different deficits in work- ing memory:①for frontal stroke,the deficit manifested in executive function,digital span(P0.05).④for thalamic stroke,the deficit manifested in executive function,digital span,visual recognition and visual recall,(P
