Objective To evaluate the effect of sevoflurane on left ventricular function in patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) .Methods Thirty-five ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of both sexes (30 males, 5 females) aged 53-75 yr weighing 46-100 kg undergoing CABG were enrolled in this study. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probe was placed. The TEE variables including cardiac index (CI), left ventricular short axis shortening (FS), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), low propagation velocity ( Vp), E wave velocity (E) , A wave velocity ( A) , systolic wave velocity ( S) , diastolic wave velocity ( D), AR wave velocity, E/A ratio and S/D ratio were recorded before inhalation of sevoflurane (T_1 ) , and 5 min (T_2) and 15 rain ( T_3) after inhalation of sevoflurane after splitting of sternum, and before inhalation of sevoflurane (T_4 ), 5 min (T_5) and 15 min (T_6) after inhalation of sevoflurane after the closure of sternum. The end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane corresponded to 1 MAC. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.05 nig/kg, sufentanil 0.5μg/kg and rocuronium 0.9 mg/kg and maintained with infusion of propofol at 4-6 mg·kg~(-1) ·h~(-1), remifentanil at 0.2-0.4μgkg~(-1)·h~(-1) and atracurium at 0.5 mg·kg~(-1)·h~(-1). The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation (V_T 8 ml/kg, RR 12 bpm, I:E 1:2, FiO_2 70%-80% ) .Results (1) MAP and CI were significantly decreased at 5 and 15 min after sevoflurane inhalation. LVEF and FS were also decreased. (2) There was no significant change in diastolic function indexes after sevoflurane inhalation including E and A wave velocity, systolic wave velocity, diastolic wave velocity, E/A ratio and S/D ratio. (3) Cardiac function improved after CABG. CI, LVEF and FS were significantly increased after CABG as compared with preoperative values. Conclusion In patients undergoing elective CABG, sevoflurane (the end-tidal concentration corresponding to 1 MAC) can depress left ventricular systolic function but does not affect left ventricular diastolic function.

Backgroud Numerous studies have confirmed the effectiveness of slowing the progression of atherosclerosis by blood pressure (Bp)control in patients with hypertension and several studies also showed the efficacy of intensive glycemic control in decreasing progression of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. However, few studies have compared the relative importance of glycemic vs. Bp control in patients with diabetes and hypertension. We aimed to investigate the association between Bp and glycemic control and subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in older patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes. Methods In a cross-sectional study, B-mode high-resolution ultrasonography of the carotid artery was performed in 670 subjects (508 males and 162 females) aged 60 years or over who had self-reported hypertension and diabetes but no history of coronary heart disease or stroke. Subjects were categorized by their systolic blood pressure: tight control, < 130 mmHg; usual control, 130-139 mmHg; or uncontrolled, > 140 mmHg, and by their hemoglobin Alc (HbAlc) level: tight control, < 6.5%; usual control, 6.5%-7.5%; or uncontrolled, > 7.5%, respectively. Results The mean CIMT was 8.20±0.11 mm, and carotid plaque was found in 52.5% (352/670) subjects. Overall, 62.1% of the subjects had subclinical carotid atherosclerosis, defined as having either carotid plaque or elevated CIMT (≥ 1.1 mm). The mean CIMT was significantly different between Bp control categories (7.60 ± 0.09 mm, 7.90 ± 0.08 mm, and 8.60±0.12 nun, respectively, P = 0.03) but not between glycemic control categories (8.20 ± 0.10 ram, 8.1 ± 0.08 mm, and 8.40 ± 0.14 mm, respectively, P = 0.13) using ANCOVA analysis. Multivariable logistic regression adjusting for potential confounding factors showed that usual or uncontrolled Bp control were associated with having carotid plaque (OR = 1.08 and OR = 1.42, respectively), or elevated CIMT [Odd ratio (OR) = 1.17, 95% confidence interval (CI)1.04-2.24, and OR = 1.54, 95% CI 1.36-2.96, respectively compared to tight Bp control; but did not show glycemic control as independent predictor of either having carotid plaque or elevated CIMT. Conclusions In older patients with hypertension and diabetes, blood pressure control, but not glycemic control is associated with subclinical carotid atherosclerosis.

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have proven the existence of the regeneration of central nervous tissue. But abjective results,such as lacked of neurogenesis after injury,also have been found in many experiments. The greatest difficulty in conventional brain transplantation or brain tissue transplantation has been the survival and development of the graft. Additionally,the stability of therapeutic effects and the rehabilitation of brain functions also need confirmation.OBJECTIVE: To investigate an approach to intrathecal injection of neural stem cells(NSCs) in stroke therapy,and observe therapeutic effects and side effects as well,so as to make the evaluation of the safety and feasibility.DESIGN: A confirmative before-after study based on stroke patients.SETTING: A neurology department in a municipal hospital and a microbiology and immunology department affiliated to a university hospital.PARTICIPANTS: From November 2002 to September 2003,26 stroke inpatients in the Neurology Department of Anyang Municipal People' s Hospital were selected. Of all the c ases,3 were diagnosed as acute cerebral hemorrhage,and the other 23 had been suffering strokes for durations ranging from 3months to 30 years,an average of (4.2 ± 6. 6) years. They were 20 male and 6female between the ages from 36 -72 years old,an average of(56.3 ± 12.7)years old. Fifteen of them were ischemic and 11 were hemorrhagic. Nineteen were associated with hypertension,2 with coronary heart disease,4 with diabetes and 4 associated with hyperlipodemia.INTERVENTIONS: On each of the 3 patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage (hematoma volume,35 - 40 mL),a microinvasive intracerebral hematoma puncture was performed,and then a suspension of NSCs were conducted to the stroke by a drainage tube. For the rest of the patients,suspensions were intrathecally administered into the subarachnoid and then flowed to the cerebral surface through cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) circulation. Afterwards,physical therapy(PT),occupational therapy (OT) and speech therapy(ST) were jointly applied to facilitate the rehabilitation of the stroke patients. Therapeutic effects was calculated according to the European stroke scale(ESS) and the Barthel Index(BI) . If ESS index went beyond or equal to 1 score,the case would be defined as effective; otherwise,it would be defined as not effective. Additionally,CT,MRI,EEG,chest x-ray,and blood biochemical variables were also measured.MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURES: Therapeutic effects and side effects were taken as main outcomemeasurements.RESULTS: Of the 23 patients who ntrathecal administration,19had positive therapeutic effect and 4 did not. Post-transplantation ESS was higher than that of pre-transplantation(54. 1 ±21.2 vs 51.4 ±21.1,t = 5.8,P = 0. 000 007 6),while post-transplantation BI also increased significantly as compared with that of pre-transplantation(41.1 ± 31.3 vs 36. 1 ± 32. 1,vasive intracerebral hematoma puncture had successful rehabilitation and regained self-care ability. Of all the patients,4 got a transitory fever and 2felt slight post-operation headache.CONCLUSION: Conclusion can be drawn from the study that stroke patients are ameliorated to various extents after neural stem cell transplantation which has no toxicity or side effects. It shows that neural stem cell transplantation is viable and feasible in improving the motor function and self-care ability in stroke patients.
