Objective To discuss the influence on peripheral circulation and oxygenation of different colloid osmotic pressure (COP) in pediatric cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Sixty cases of non-cyanotic congenital heart disease patients under 10 kg were randomly selected and divided into 3 groups(n =20) according to the different COP level.COP values was adjusted by the ultrafiltration technique and colloid addition.The perioperative(T1-T6) arterial lactate level,different value between skin and rectal temperature,peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and oxygenation index (OI) were observed in order to determine the different effect on peripheral circulation and oxygenation.Meanwhile,mechanical ventilation time and ICU time were recorded.Results The variation tendency of arterial lactate level was similar in each group,the value in the COP ＞ 18 mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) group(group C) was significantly higher than COP 10-15 mmHg group (group A) and COP 16-18 mmHg group (group B) in T3 and T4,after CPB weaned,the values of Group A (1.25 ± 0.42) and Group C (1.33 ± 0.51) were higher than Group B (0.71 ± 0.29) at T6 point (P ＜ 0.05);the variation tendency of SpO2 was similar in each group too,the value of group C was significantly lower than group A and B at T5 point,the values of group A and C were significantly lower than group B at T6 point,P ＜ 0.05;the different value between skin and rectal temperature in group A was significantly higher than group B and C from T1 to T2 point(P ＜0.05),but not in T3 to T6 point;The minimal OI values of all the groups were appeared in T4 point,group B value was significantly higher than A and C in all time point,group C value was the lowest(P ＜0.05);the mechanical ventilation time in group B(2.13 ± 1.36) days and group C (2.93 ± 1.69) days were significantly lower than group A (3.83 ± 1.47) days,P ＜ 0.05.ICU time of group B (3.9 ± 1.1) days was significantly lower than group A (5.7 ± 2.5) days and C (6.0 ± 1.5) days.Conclusion During the pediatric CPB,the improper COP level will lead to bad oxygenation and poor peripheral circulation,got different prognosis ultimately.A reasonable COP level(16-18 mmHg) will do benefits to all the pediatric patients.

ABSTRACT The taboos of man-spirit (RenShen) and bottom-spirit (KaoShen) are two kinds of time-related contraindications that are more commonly seen in the literature of acupuncture and moxibustion. The meaning of man-spirit is often extended to qi-blood or mind, or else directly equals to heaven-spirit (TianShen). It is highly possible that the bottom-spirit is subordinate to man-spirit, and both Taoist philosophy and the SanCai theory declare the importance of bottom in human body. The violation of contraindications could lead to diseases in the neighborhood where man-spirit travels. However, the results are generally recorded as ulcer, lingering disease and death in most medical texts. From Ming dynasty, more and more doctors have expressed disapproval of man-spirit and bottom-spirit.

Rutaecarpine (Rut) is a type of indole quinazoline alkaloid exracted from Ruticarpum. Studies showed that Rut has a wide range of pharmacological effects, such as anti-hypertension, anticancer, anti-inflammation, anti-thrombus formation. Currently, many scholars are committed to developing it into a new antihypertensive and anti-inflammatory drug with all new mechanisms. But studies found that Rut is a highly fat-soluble drug with low water and oil solubility. Its high insolubility is the main obstacle in its oral absorption and application, which greatly reduced its bioavailability. Therefore, hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) was used as the inclusion material to prepare Rut-HP-beta-CD inclusion complex in this experiment, in order to increase its water solubility and bioavailability. In this experiment, the inclusion complex was prepared by the stirring-freeze-dry method. The preparation process was optimized by the orthogonal test, with the inclusion rate as the index, and molar ratio between host and guest molecules, inclusion temperature, time and stirring speed as the impacting factors. Moreover, the inclusion complex was verified by detecting the apparent solubility, thin layer chromatography, microscopic identification, melting point detection and dissolution study. The results showed that under the conditions of the molar ratio between Rut and HP-beta-CD of 1: 1, temperature at 60 degrees C, inclusion time of 4h and stirring speed at 600 r x min(-1), the inclusion rate of Rut-HP-beta-CD reached 91.04%. Therefore, the preparation process of Rut-HP-beta-CD inclusion under the optimum conditions is simple and feasible, with a highest inclusion rate and reproducibility, and could significantly improve Rut's solubility and bioavailability, and provide a reliable experimental basis for its clinical application.
