AIM:To study the effect of remifentanil on monophasic action potential and transmural dispersion of repolarization (TDR) in the 3-layer myocardium of isolated rabbit hearts .METHODS:Adult rabbits (n=18, 2.0 ~2.5 kg) were used to isolate the hearts for preparing Langendorff perfusion model .The hearts were randomly divided into 3 groups after perfusion with K-H solution for 15 min: the perfusion in control group ( C group ) continued for 60 min; the hearts in remifentanil group ( R group ) were perfused with 12 μg/L remifentanil K-H solution for 60 min; the hearts in remifentanil+aminophylline group ( RA group ) were given 60-min perfusion of 12 μg/L K-H remifentanil +30 mg/L aminophylline .The HR and 3 layers of myocardial monophasic action potential ( MAP) in the left ventricular anterior wall were recorded at time points after balanced infusion for 15 min ( T0 ) , and continued perfusion for 15 min ( T1 ) , 30 min ( T2 ) and 60 min ( T3 ) .The monophasic action potential duration of repolarization at 90%( MAPD90 ) and the transmural dispersion of repolarization (TDR) were calculated.The early afterdepolarization, delay afterdepolarization and arrhythmia were also observed.RESULTS:In R group, slower HR and prolonger MAPD90 and TDR at T1 ~T3 were observed as com-pared with those at T0(P<0.05).R group showed slower HR and longer MAPD 90 and TDR than C group and RA group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Remifentanil slows the HR, extends the MAPD90 and increases the TDR, thus being prone to induce reentry.Aminophylline makes HR faster and MAPD90 shorter, thereby reducing the TDR.

Objective To observe the security and efficacy of sevoflurane inhalation in combination with remifentanil controlled hypotension in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery.Methods Forty pa tients undergoing elective functional endoscopic sinus surgery were randomly divided into propofol group (group P)and sevoflurane group(group S).In group P,patients received remifentanil 0.2μg · kg-1 · min-1 and propofol 4 ～6mg · kg-1 · min-1 intravenously,those in group S received remifentanil 0.2pg · kg-1 · min-1 and continuous inhalation of sevoflurane 2 ～ 3％,the end-tidal concentration was 1.1 ～ 1.7MAC.MAP was retained at 65 ～ 75 mmHg in the two groups.MAP and HR were recorded before controlled hypotension (T1),5min after controlled hypotension (T2),30min after controlled hypotension(T3),the termination of surgery(T4) and 5min after the termination of surgery(T5).Record the patient opening eyes time,wake extubation time,duration of surgery,blood loss.Also observed with or without respiratory depression,drowsiness,restlessness,nausea,vomiting and other adverse reactions.The same surgery fell surgical field quality rating according to Fromme operative field score table.Results Compared with T1,MAP(F =73.68) and HR(F =24.60) decreased significantly(P ＜ 0.05) at the other time points.There was no statistically significant difference in MAP(t =0.90) and HR(t =1.00) at the same time points between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Extubation time (t =0.44),duration of operation (t =1.23),operative field score (t =0:43) and blood loss (t =0.58) has no significant differences (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Inhalation hypotension by sevoflurane is feasible and safe in the functional endoscopic sinus surgery.It shows good quality of surgical field and less adverse reactions.

Objective To evaluate the effect of aminophylline on monophasic action potential (MAP) during remifentanil-induced negative chronotropic effect in the isolated rabbit hearts.Methods Eighteen healthy adult rabbits,weighing 2.0-2.5 kg,wereused in the study.Their hearts were excised and retrogradely perfused in a Langendorff apparatus.After 15 min of stabilization with K-H solution,the isolated hearts were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),remifentanil group (R group),and remifentanil + aminophylline group (RA group).Group C was perfused with 37 ℃ K-H solution for 60 min.Group R was perfused with K-H solution containing remifentanil 12 ng/ml for 60 min.Group RA was perfused with K-H solution containing remifentanil 12 ng/ml and aminophylline 30 μg/ml for 60 min.At 15 min of stabilization and 15,30 and 60 min of perfusion,HR and MAP in the myardium of left ventricle were recorded:MAP duration at 90％ and 50％ repolarization (MAPD90,MAPD50) was calculated.The early after depolarization,delay after depolarization and arrhythmia were recorded.Results Compared with group C,HR was significantly decreased at 15,30 and 60 min of perfusion,and MAPD50 and MAPD90 were prolonged in goup R,and HR was increased in group RA.HR was significantly higher,and MAPD50 and MAPD90 were shorter in RA group than in group R.No early after depolarization,delay after depolarization or arrhythmia developed in each group.Conclusion Aminophylline antagonizes remifentanil-induced negative chronotropic effect through shortening monophasic action potential duration in the myocardium of left ventricle of the isolated rabbit hearts.
