Objective:To study the influence of anesthesia with propofol or with ketamine on autonomic nerve function in children. Methods: 35 children aged 3-8 years old undergoing general anesthesia for palatoplasty with ASAⅠ-Ⅱ cleft palate were randomly divided into 2 groups, group Ⅰ(ketamine group,n=17)and group Ⅱ (propofol group, n=18).The low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), ratio of low frequency and high frequency (LF/HF),total power (LF+HF), MAP, HR and SpO_2 were recorded before anesthesia (T0), after intubation (T1), incision of skin(T2), 1 h after the begining of operation(T3), after the completion of operation(T4) and extubation (T5). Results:In the 2 groups the values of LF, HF, LF/HF and LF+HF at T1-T4 were significantly lower than those at T0 (P0.05). In group Ⅱ,the indexes of HRV at T2-T5 were significantly lower than those in group Ⅰ(P

Background Postoperative ametropia, especially large astigmatism after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) for keratoconus often results in poor visual acuity.Though postoperative ametropia can be corrected by wearing glasses or performing corneal refractive surgery, the visual quality of patients is still poor, and the operations are difficult to implement because of insufficient corneal thickness.Toric intraocular collamer lens (TICL) implantation appears to have good corrective efficacy on severe astigmatism,but the research on the eyes after DALK is still less.Objective This study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TICL implantation for the ametropic eyes following DALK for keratoconus.Methods This study protocol was approved by Ethic Commission of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital,and written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to any medical procedure.A self-controlled serial observational research was carried out.Eight ametropic eyes of 8 patients who received the DALK for keratoconus before 18 months were enrolled in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from August 201 1 to March 2012, with the spherical diopter range from 0 D to-7.5 D and cylindrical diopter range from-2.5 D to-6.0 D.TICL implantation was performed on the eyes.The eye examinations were carried out before surgery and 1 week,3 months,6 months, 1 year and 2 years after surgery,including uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) ,best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ,comprehensive optometry, corneal astigmatism degree, the central corneal thickness and anterior chamber depth (ACD), corneal endothelial cell counts (ECD) ,intraocular pressure.The examination outcomes were compared before and after surgery.The intraoperative and postoperative complications were observed to evaluate the safety of TICL implantation for the ametropic eyes following DALK for keratoconus.Results The UCVA and BCVA were obviously improved at 6 months after TICL implantation in comparison with before surgery and maintained stable during the follow-up duration.The mean spherical diopter was from-0.5 D to-1.0 D and the mean cylindrical diopter was from-0.5 D to-2.0 D after surgery.The corneal endothelial cell counts were (2 520.2 ± 307.2) , (2 496.2 ± 306.2) , (2 469.6±304.5) , (2 432.0 ± 305.4), (2 383.4 ± 309.4)/mm2, and the intraoeular pressures were (14.57 ± 3.75), (16.62±4.21), (16.57±3.56), (15.66±3.37), (15.13±3.48) mmHg, showing insignificant differences among different time points (F =0.375,P =0.825;F =9.871, P =0.394).No significant differences were found in mean ACD and intraocular pressure between before and after surgery (t =1.56 ,P =0.16).The axial deviation of TICL was less than 10° in all the operated eyes 6 months after surgery.No intraoperative and postoperative complications were found during the follow-up duration.Conclusions TICL implantation is a safe and effective alternative and viable approach to myopic and astigmatism patients following DALK for keratoconus.

The purpose of the study is to construct R8 peptide (RRRRRRRR) and pH sensitive polyethylene glycols (PEG) co-modified liposomes (Cl-Lip) and utilize them in breast cancer treatment. The co-modified liposomes were prepared with soybean phospholipid, cholesterol, DSPE-PEG2K-R8 and PEG5K-Hz-PE (pH sensitive PEG). The size and zeta potential of Cl-Lip were also characterized. The in vitro experiment demonstrated that the Cl-Lip had high serum stability in 50% fetal bovine serum. The cellular uptake of Cl-Lip under different pre-incubated conditions was evaluated on 4T1 cells. And the endocytosis pathway, lysosome escape ability and tumor spheroid penetration ability were also evaluated. The results showed the particle size of the Cl-Lip was (110.4 ± 5.2) nm, PDI of the Cl-Lip was 0.207 ± 0.039 and zeta potential of the Cl-Lip was (-3.46 ± 0.05) mV. The cellular uptake of Cl-Lip on 4T1 cells was pH sensitive, as the cellular uptake of Cl-Lip pre-incubated in pH 6.0 was higher than that of pH 7.4 under each time point. The main endocytosis pathways of Cl-Lip under pH 6.0 were micropinocytosis and energy-dependent pathway. At the same time, the Cl-Lip with pre-incubation in pH 6.0 had high lysosome escape ability and high tumor spheroid penetration ability. All the above results demonstrated that the Cl-Lip we constructed had high pH sensitivity and is a promising drug delivery system.
