Objective To investigate the causes of development of cardiac arrest during the perioperative period in 210 hospitals of Guangxi in 2010 using a questionnaire survey.Two hundred and ten questionnaires were provided,and the valid return rate was 63.3％ (133 copies).There were 64 cases developed cardiac arrest during the perioperative period in 414,676 anesthetized patients from 133 hospitals,and the incidence of cardiac arrest was 0.0154％.Among the patients who developed cardiac arrest,the constituent ratio of the patients who were cured was 25％ (16 cases),the patients who became vegetative state was 3％ (2 cases),and the patients who died was 72％ (46 cases).Among the patients who developed cardiac arrest,the constituent ratio of general anesthesia (77％) was higher than that of intrathecal anesthesia (23％).Among the inducements for cardiac arrest,patient's factor,surgical factor,anesthesia factor,patient-surgery-anesthesia factor and unknown factor accounted for 44％ (28 cases),14％ (9 cases),25％ (16 cases),12％ (8 cases) and 5％ (3 cases),respectively.The constituent ratios of the cured patients under patient's factor,surgical factor,anesthesia factor,patientsurgery-anesthesia factor and unknown factor accounted for 13％ (2 cases),6％ (1 cases),75％ (12 cases),6％ (1 cases) and 0,respectively.The constituent ratio of the cured patients under anesthesia factor was higher than that under the other factors.In conclusion,although cardiac arrest developed during the perioperative period was rare,it endangered the patient' s life.The preoperative severity of disease was the major consideration for patient's factor,and it was not only the main inducement,but also the risk factor for death.For anesthesia factor,the main inducements causing cardiac arrest were poor airway management and circulatory depression induced by anesthetics,so preoperative airway assessment and perioperative monitoring should be strengthened.It was difficult to predict cardiac arrest induced by surgical factor or emergency events during operation,and close monitoring was the key.

Objective To investigate the impact of different irrigation time on oxygenation in-dex and acid-base balance during percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL).Methods Forty patients un-dergoing selective PCNL were included in this study,were divided into two groups:group S,irrigation time<120 min(n=22);group L,irrigation time≥120 min(n=18).PaO2/FiO2 ,pH and BE were determined before and after irrigation,CVP were recorded before irrigation and every 20 min during irrigation. Results The CVP maximum value were higher in group L than that in group S during irrigation (P <0.05).The PaO2/FiO2 were lower after irrigation than that before irrigation in group L(P<0.05).The pH and BE were lower in group L than that in group S after irrigation(P<0.05).Conclusion Irrigation fluid absorption is observed during PCNL.That can provoke oxygenation function decline and metabolic ac-idosis with irrigation time extend,the operation time properly shortened.

Objective To compare the effects of different levels of controlled low central venous pressure (CVP) on blood loss in patients undergoing hepatic lobectomy. Methods One hundred ASAⅠ -Ⅱ patients, aged 28-78 yr, weighing 39-90 kg, undergoing elective hepatic lobectomy under general anesthesia, were randomly divided into S groups ( n = 20 each) with CVP controlled at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mm Hg during the course of operationrespectively (groups CVP1-5 ) . Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, fentanyl, etomidate and vecuronium. The patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated. Anesthesia was maintained with iv infusion of propofol and remifentanil, inhalation of isoflurane and intermittent iv boluses of vecuronium. CVP was maintained at the predetermined levels by restricted infusion or by administration of diuretics or vasoactive agents and so on during operation. The blood loss before, during and after removal of the diseased liver parenchyma ( V1-3 ) was recorded.The liver parenchyma transection area ( TA) was determined and the blood loss per transaction area ( VTA ) was calculated. Fluid infusion and blood transfusion were recorded during the three time periods mentioned above. MAP and HR were recorded before operation, at 5 min after removal of the diseased liver parenchyma was started and at the end of operation. Results Compared with group CVP5, the MAP during removal of the diseased liver parenchyma in groups CVP1,2 , V2 and VTA in groups CVP1-3,and the percentage of patients who needed blood transfusion during operation and the amount of fluid infused before completion of removal of the diseased liver parenchyma in groups CVP1-4 were significantly decreased ( P ＜ 0.05) . Compared with group CVP4 , V2 , VTA and MAP during removal of the diseased liver parenchyma were significantly decreased in group CVP2 and the amount of fluid infused was significantly increased before removal of the diseased liver parenchyma was completed in group CVP,( P ＜ 0.05) .Conclusion When CVP is controlled at 3 mm Hg, the hemodynamics is stable and blood loss is less during hepatic lobectomy.

Objective To investigate the correlation of preoperative pain threshold and pain tolerance threshold with the intensity of stress reaction induced by endotracheal intubation and skin incision. Methods Fifty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ women, aged 20-55 yr, undergoing elective abdominal surgery requiring at least a 10-cm-long skin incision under general anesthesia, were studied. The electricity dolorimeter was used to measure the patients' pain sensitivity, including pain threshold and pain tolerance, and a State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was also used to examine the mental state the day before surgery. Total intravenous anesthesia was performed in all the patients.Anesthesia was induced with TCI of propofol 4 μg/ml (effect-site concentration). After patients lost consciousness,fentanyl 3 μg/kg and vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg were injected intravenously. Tracheal intubation was performed 3 min later and the patients were mechanically ventilated. MAP and HR were recorded and arterial blood samples were taken for determination of plasma concentrations of norepinephrine (NE) at 10 min after entering operation room (T1), immediately before intubation (T2), 2 min after intubation (T3), immediately before incision (T4) and 2 min after incision (T5). The differences in MAP, HR and plasma concentrations of NE before and after intubation and skin incision were calculated. SPSS 13.0 statistical software was used to analyze the correlation of STAI,pain threshold, and pain tolerance threshold with the differences in MAP, HR and NE before and after intubation and skin incision. Results Pain threshold was not correlated with the differences in MAP, HR and NE (P ＞0.05). Pain tolerance threshold was negatively correlated with the differences in MAP (r= - 0.766, r =-0.688,P＜0.05), HR (r=-0.703, r=-0.638, P ＜ 0.05) and NE (r=-0.781, r=-0.781, P＜0.05). The STAI score was not correlated with pain threshold and pain tolerance threshold (P ＞ 0.05) .Conclusion Preoperative pain tolerance threshold is negatively correlated with the intensity of stress reaction induced by endotracheal intubation and skin incision, but there is no correlation between pain threshold and the intensity of stress reaction.

Objective To discuss the impact of the neurotoxity of bupivacaine and bupivacaine-induced cellular neurotoxicity caused by pretreatment of ganglion (GM-1 )monoglyceride on the ex-pression of caspase-3.Methods The mouse neuroblastoma cells-N2a cells was used as a research object to carry out the following experiments:(1)To observe the damage effects of different concen-trations of bupivacaine on N2a cells and find out the most suitable damage concentration to establish cell damage model.The N2a cells were interacted with bupivacaine with different concentrations [0μmol/L (group C),600 μmol/L (group B1),900 μmol/L (group B2),1 200 μmol/L (group B3), 1 500 μmol/L (group B4),2 000 μmol/L (group B5)]for 6,12,24,36 h and then evaluated by CCK-8 cell survival.Each experiment was repeated three times.The protective function of GM-1 to bupiva-caine-induced N2a cells damage.The N2a cells were treated with different concentrations (0.1μmol/L (group BG1),1.0 μmol/L (group BG2),10 μmol/L (group BG3))of GM-1 pretreatment 24 h,CCK-8 was evaluated in cell viability,Western Blot method was used to detect damaged cells caspase-3 expression levels.Each experiment was repeated three times.Results (1)Bupivacaine could significantly damage N2a cells,the greater the bupivacaine concentration,the longer the action time,the stronger neurotoxicity.(2)GM-1 bupivacaine nerve injury had a significant protective effect in a dose-related manner.The maximum of protective dose of this experiment was 10 μmol/L.Conclusion Bupivacaine can significantly damage N2a cells,correlating with both dose and time double positively,while GM-1 pretreatment significantly reduced the expression of caspase-3 induced by bupivacaine.

ve To investigate the effects of acute normovolemic hemodilution on cardiac troponin I (CTnl) and myocardial enzyme. Methods Twenty-nine ASA I-II patients undergoing hepatectomy or bilateral hip replacement were randomly divided into two groups: hemodilution group (H , n=15) and control group (C, n=14) . The patients were premedicated with diazepam and scopolamine. Left radial artery was cannulated for intra-arterial pressure monitoring and the letting of blood. Right internal jugular vein was cannulated for fluid administration and CVP monitoring. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.15-0.30mg?kg-1 , fentanyl 4?g?kg-1 and vecuronium 0.08-0.1mg?kg-1 and maintained with infusion of midazolam (0.03-0.10 mg?kg-1?h-1), fentanyl (0.15-2.0?g?kg-1?h-1) and vecuronium (0.5-1.0?g?kg-1?min-1). After tracheal intubation the patients were mechanically ventilated with 100% O2 and PETCO2 was maintained at 35-45 mmHg. 15 min after induction of anesthesia hemodilution was started. Blood was withdrawn from radial artery and collected until Hct was reduced to 25%-28% . Ringer's lactate solution and hydroxyethyl starch (HES 6%) were simultaneously infused to maintain blood volume. Blood samples were taken before anesthesia, before blood transfusion, 4h after surgery and on the 1st postoperative day for determination of blood CTnI, CK and CK-MB activities. Results The demographic data including age and body weight were not significantly different between the two groups. Prior to blood transfusion Hct was reduced to 20.33% ?1.91 % in group H and 29.64%?1.78% in group C. CK increased significantly at 4h after operation and on the 1st postoperative day; CK-MB increased significantly on the 1st postoperative day. The difference between the two groups was not significant. CTnI showed little change during and after operation in both groups.Conclusions Our study suggests that hemodilution to 20% Hct does not result in myocardial injury in patients without preexisting cardiopulmonary disease as long as normal blood volume is maintained and patient suffers nohypoxia.

Objective To investigate the prevalence,related factors and individualized health management strategy of female urinary incontinence.Methods Questionnaire survey has been adopted on 4105 female subjects in the east coastal,middle and southwest areas of Shandong Province from Jan.2011 to Dec.2011.Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of urinary incontinence.The degree of risk was conducted according to the UI affected to the quality of life.Results The available questionnaires were 4105.Logistic analysis showed that age,delivery frequency,first delivery age,newborn birth weight,perineum injury history,chronic cough and constipation were risk factors of urinary incontinence.However,the protective factors of urinary incontinence included abdominal delivery and whitecollar worker.Mild,moderate and strong impacts of urinary incontinence on the quality of life were found 77.68％ (1079/1389),21.38％ (297/1389) and 0.94％ (13/1389) of the participants,respectively.Unfortunately,doctor's office visiting was as low as 1.08％ (15/1389).Along with the increase of age,parity,age of first time delivery,injury of perineum,chronic cough,constipation,may add the risk of incidence of urinary incontinence while caesarean section and brainwork may decrease the risk of incidence of urinary incontinence.Conclusions The overall of incidence of urinary incontinence in Shandong province is in a high level.Urinary incontinence may significantly reduce the quality of life of the patients.More investigation on individualized health management strategy for female patients with urinary incontinence should be needed in the future.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of intrathecally administered monosialoganglioside (GM-1)for treatment of bupivacaine spinal anesthesia-induced neurotoxicity to rat spinal cord.Methods Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 280-300 g,in which the intrathecal catheter was successfully inserted into the L3,4 intervertebral space and advanced toward the tail,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =36 each):sham operation group (group S),GM-1 group,bupivacaine group (group B) and bupivacaine + GM-1 group (group BG).In B and BG groups,the rats received 5％ bupivacaine 20 μl via the intrathecal catheter 3 times at 1.5-hour intervals.GM-1 20 μg was injected intrathecally 24 h later once a day for 7 days in BG and GM-1 groups.Before bupivacaine injection and on days 1,3,5,7,14 and 28 after bupivacaine injection (T0-T6),tail flick latency (TFL) was measured,MPE (percentage of maximal possible effect) was calculated,and the locomotor recovery was evaluated using the Basso,Beattie,Bresnahan (BBB) Locomotor Rating Scale.Then six rats were randomly chosen and sacrificed in each group.Spinal cord was removed for histopathologic examination (with light and electronic microscope) and for determination of caspase-3 protein and mRNA expression (by immuno-histochemistry and RTPCR).The pathological changes of the spinal cord were scored.Results Compared with S and GM-1 groups,MPE,pathological scores,and caspase-3 protein and mRNA expression were significantly increased and BBB score was decreased at T1-6 in group B (P ＜ 0.05),and MPE was increased at T1-5 (P ＜ 0.05) and returned to the baseline value at T6 (P ＞ 0.05) and pathological scores,and caspase-3 protein and mRNA expression were significantly increased and BBB score was decreased at T1-6 in group BG (P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences in each parameter at each time point between S and GM-1 groups (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with group B,MPE and caspase-3 protein and mRNA expression were significantly decreased at T2-6,pathological scores were decreased at T3-6,and BBB score was increased at T4-6 in group BG (P ＜ 0.05).The pathological changes of spinal cord tissues were obvious at T1-6 in group B and at T1-3 in group BG,but the changes gradually recovered at T4-6 in group BG.Conclusion Intrathecally administered GM-1 has therapeutic effect against bupivacaine spinal anesthesia-induced neurotoxicity to rat spinal cord,and inhibition of neuronal apoptosis in the spinal cord may be involved in the underlying mechanism.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of intravenous monosialo ganglio-sides(GM-1)on neurotoxicity of intrathecally administered bupivacaine in rats and its possible mecha-nism.Methods One hundred and eight adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 280-300 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=36 each):sham operation group (group sham),group saline and group GM-1.Neurotoxicity model was performed by injecting 0.12μl/g body weight of bupivacaine at concentrations of 5% via an implanted intrathecal catheter at 90-minute intervals for 4.5 h in groups saline and GM-1.After observing 24 h,group GM-1 was administered GM-1 30 mg/kg by intrave-nous injection for 7 days,once a day;while groups saline and sham received equal volume of normal saline.The recovery of the locomotor function was evaluated with Basso,Beattie and Bresnahan (BBB)and tail-flick latency(TFL)before injection bupivacaine and days 1,3,5,7,14,28 after in-jection,TFL was converted to the percent maximum possible effect (%MPE).Six rats were sacri-ficed in each group at each time point,and spinal cord was taken to examine histological injury scores by light and electron microscopy at the L3 level,and neuron caspase-3 expression was evluated using immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR.Results Compared with group saline,%MPE,histological inju-ry score and caspase-3 mRNA expression were decreased on days 7,14 and 28;Caspase-3 protein ex-pression was decreased on days 5,7,14 and 28;while BBB score was higher on days 14 and 28 in group GM-1 (P < 0.05 ).Compared with group sham,% MPE,histological injury score,caspase-3 mRNA and protein expression in groups GM-1 and saline were significantly higher,while BBB score was lower on 1,3,5,7,14 and 28 d after injection (P <0.05).Conclusion GM-1 can promote neuro-functional recovery after bupivacaine neurotoxicity in rats through the possible mechanism of down-regulating neuron caspase-3 expression.

Objective To evaluate the effect of CPB with or without cardioplegia on hemodynamics and myocardial function. Methods Thirty NYHA class III patients undergoing mitral valve replacement were randomly divided into three groups of ten each: group Ⅰ received no blood cardioplegia; group Ⅱ received tepid blood cardioplegia solution and group Ⅲ received cold blood cardioplegia solution. The patients were premedicated with pethidine 50mg and scopolamine 0.3mg. Swan-Ganz catheter was inserted via right interval jugular vein into pulmonary artery and radial artery was cannulated under local anesthesia before anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.05-0.01 mg.kg-1, fentanyl 15-20?g. kg-1 and pancuronium 0.12mg.kg-1 and maintained with fentanyl, midazolam and pancuromium. Patients in group Ⅰ received no cardioplegic solution. Ascending aorta was not cross-clamped. Body temperature was reduced to 32℃-33 ℃ (naso-pharyngeal T) . The empty heart was beating at 40-60 bmp. In group D and Ⅲ cardioplegic solution (modified St. Thomas solution) was added to blood from oxygenator (in the proportion of 1:4).In group Ⅱ body temperature was reduced to 32℃-33℃.Tepid (32℃ ) hyperkalemia blood cardioplegic solution was infused at 200-250ml.min-1 after ascending aorta was cross-clamped. After cardioplegic arrest hypokalemic blood cardioplegia solution was infused. In group Ⅲ body temperature was reduced to 28℃-29℃. Cold (8℃) hyperkalemic blood cardioplegic solution was infused at 200-250ml. min-1, after ascending aorta was cross-clamped. After cardioplegia arrest cold hypokalemic blood cardioplegia solution was infused every 20 min. Hemodynamic parameters (MAP, MPAP, CO, CI, SVRI, PVRI, LVSWI and RVSWI) were recorded before anesthesia (T0), before CPB (T1), 10, 30, 60 min after termination of CPB (T2-T4 ) and at the end of surgery (T5 ) . Results Demographic data including age, gender, body weight and body surface area were comparable between the three groups. CI in group 1 and Ⅱ was significantly higher at T2 -T5 than that in group Ⅲ . SVRI after CPB in group Ⅰ was significantly lower than that in group Ⅲ . Conclusion The myocardial function after CPB without cardioplegia is better than that after CPB with cold cardioplegia, but is not significantly different from that after CPB with tepid blood cardioplegia.
