Objective To investigate the effect of different concentrations of sevoflurane inhalation combined with pro?pofol anesthesia on rocuronium pharmacodynamics. Methods Sixty-seven patients, who underwent elective abdominal op?eration in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from Nov. 2014 to Feb. 2015, were randomly allocated to three groups:propofol combined 0.5 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane (group Ⅰ, 24 cases), propofol combined 0.75 MAC end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane (group Ⅱ, 20 cases) and propofol combined 1 MAC end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane (groupⅢ, 23 cases). All those patients were given midazolam 0.05 mg/kg, sufen? tanil 0.3μg/kg, etomidate 0.3 mg/kg for anesthesia induction. Rocuronium was given through the T1 mode of Closed-loop muscle relaxant infusion system and infused by 2ED95(0.6 mg/kg). The following variables were recorded:average consump?tion dosage of rocuronium, recovery index, averaged consumption dosage of propofol and remifentanil. Results The aver?aged consumption dosage of rocuronium was decreased in the three groups in turn[(9.71 ± 2.38 vs 7.50 ± 0.98 vs 6.90 ± 1.14)μg·kg-1·min-1,F=18.562,P<0.05]. There was no significant difference in recovery index between the three groups [(8.92± 2.62 vs 8.95 ± 2.58 vs 10.30 ± 3.65)min,F=1.577, P>0.05]. The average consumption dosage of propofol and remifentanil were lower in groupⅢthan those of groupⅠand groupⅡ(P<0.05). Conclusion High concentration of sevoflurane can enhance neuromuscular blockage effect of rocuronium, and decrease the consumption dosage of propofol and remifentanil.

Objective To explore the impact of the ratio between pelvic tilt (PT) and sacral slope (SS) on the life quality of patients with ankylosing spndylitis (AS) after kyphosis correction. Methods From November 2008 to May 2011, 33 AS pa?tients were reviewed, including 31 males and 2 females, aged from 19 to 58 years old (average, 36 years old). The thoracolumbar kyphosis angle was 35.23° ± 13.98° (range, 15.12°-74.37° ) and the lumbar lordosis angle was 8.68° ± 18.27° (range,-23.70°-62.15°). The Scoliosis Research Society (SRS)?22 questionnaire was used to evaluate the quality of life and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) was used to evaluate the condition of pain. The pelvic incidence (PI), PT, SS, sagittal vertical axis (SVA) and osteoto?my angle were obtained from standing lateral full?spine radiographs. The correlations were analyzed from the subjective grading and the sagittal parameters in AS patients. Results The osteotomy site was in L1 (5 cases, 21.00°-54.59° , average 32.59° ± 13.44° ), L2 (19 cases, 28.63°-66.24° , average 37.89° ± 9.26° ), L3 (9 cases, 31.78°-60.90° , average 47.05° ± 9.20° ), respectively. The range of osteotomy angle was 39.59°±10.82° (range, 21.00°-66.24°). The subjective grading and spino?pelvic parameters were improved significantly after operation except PI, only postoperative PT/SS (0.93±0.65) and ODI standing (0.60±0.75)(r=0.681, P<0.05), osteotomy angle (39.59°±10.82°) and satisfaction of management (3.33±0.49)(r=0.478, P<0.05)had correlation with the subjective grading. Conclusion Compared with the change of PT, SS and SVA, the change of PT/SS is more closely related to the quality of life after operation in AS patients with kyphosis, which should be pay attention to by surgeon when designing operative schemes.
