Objective To investigate the effects of parecoxib and morphine on remifentanil-induced postoperative hyperalgesia in patients undergoing orthopedic operation. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 20-62 yr, weighing 45-100 kg, undergoing orthopedic surgery, were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 20 each). Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, propofol, remifentanil and rocuronium. The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation. Group Ⅰ received iv injection of morphine 0.15 mg/kg, group Ⅱ received iv injection of parecoxib 20 mg and morphine 0.075 mg/kg and group Ⅲ received iv injection of parecoxib 40 mg and morphine 0.075 mg/kg. Anesthesia was maintained with infusion of propofol and remifentanil and intermittent iv boluses of vecuronium. The emergence time, consciousness recovery time, extubation time,incidence of agitation and shivering, and VRS score at 5 min after recovery of consciousness were recorded. Pain at rest and at movement was evaluated using VAS score at 1,2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h (T1-6) after surgery and MAP andHR were recorded simultaneously. The incidence of nausea and vomiting during 24 h after surgery was also recorded. Blood samples were taken before induction of anesthesia, at the end of operation and 24 h after operation for determination of plasma concentrations of PGE2 and TNF-α. Results There was no significant difference in emergence time, consciousness recovery time, extubation time, VRS scores, MAP, HR, incidence of agitation,shivering, nausea and vomiting among the 3 groups. Compared with group Ⅰ , VAS scores at rest at T1-2 and at movement at T1-6 were significantly increased in group Ⅱ , while VAS scores at rest and at movement decreased at T1-5 in group Ⅲ (P＜0.05). VAS scores at rest at T1-6 and at movement at T1-5 were significantly lower in group Ⅲ than in group Ⅱ (P＜ 0.05). There was no significant difference in the plasma concentrations of PGE2 and TNF-α at different time points between group Ⅰ and Ⅱ (P＞0.05). The plasma concentrations of PGE2 and TNF-α were significantly lower at the end of surgery in group Ⅲ than in group Ⅰ and Ⅱ (P＜0.05). Conclusion Preoperative iv parecoxib 40 mg and morphine 0.075 mg/kg can reduce remifentanil-induced postoperative hyperalgesia in patients undergoing orthopedic operation, and the efficacy is better than that of morphine alone.

BACKGROUND:From the point of view of human anatomy, the load of the spine is more. When the body moves, the range of activities, and activity are relatively large. After screws were implanted in the spine, if biomechanical properties and stability are not up to the standard, it easily leads to lack of grip force of screw and screw loosening so as to increase the incidence of complications after treatment.
OBJECTIVE:To compare biomechanical properties and stability of the spine after insertion of pedicle screw and cervical vertebral screw into the spine.
METHODS:100 vertebrae under human cervical spine specimens were analyzed and randomly divided into cervical vertebral screw fixation group and pedicle screw fixation group. Cervical vertebral screws and pedicle screws were implanted in lower cervical spine specimens. Electro Force 3510 material testing machine was used to test axial pul-out force, axial pul-out strength after the fatigue loading, and fixed stability. The biomechanical properties and stability were compared after two kinds of screws were implanted in the spine.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Instantaneous pul out force and immediate pul out stiffness were significantly higher in the pedicle screw fixation group than in the cervical vertebral screw fixation group (P<0.05). (2) Fatigue pul-out strength and fatigue pul-out stiffness did not have significant differences in both groups, but statistical analysis showed significant differences (P<0.05). Fatigue pul-out strength and fatigue pul-out stiffness were significantly higher in the pedicle screw fixation group than in the cervical vertebral screw fixation group. (3) These results suggested that pedicle screw fixation after implantation in the spine provides sufficient fixation stability, has better fatigue resistance, elevates instantaneous pul-out force and fatigue pul-out strength, and presents strong stability.

Objective To observe the feasibility of posterior internal fixation with pedicle screw rod system for upper cervical vertebra injury. Methods 16 patients with upper cervical vertebra injury accepted posterior pedicle screw system internal fixation were reviewed. Results Venous plexus behind C2 damaged in operation in a case, who needed a microscope for hemostasis. No complication, such as neurological symptoms worse, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, hematoma and infection of incision happened post operation. The neurological symptoms improved 81.8% in all the 7 cases who complained before operation. No complication was found in the follow-up 3 to 18 months after discharge. Their activities of upper cervical was basically unaffected. Conclusion Posterior internal fixation with pedicle screw rod system can provide stable support for patients with upper cervical injury.

BACKGROUND:Currently, surgical implant fixation is mainly applied for spinal tuberculosis. How to choose implant materials, however, is stil under discussion.OBJECTIVE:To compare the biocompatibility and mechanical properties of titanium al oy and stainless steel for rabbit spinal tuberculosis. METHODS:Thirty rabbits were chosen to prepare spinal tuberculosis models. Then, the rabbits were equivalently randomized into two groups, which underwent implant fixation with stainless steel or titanium al oy, respectively. At 30 days after implantation, biocompatibility and biomechanical properties of the two materials in the repaired region of spine were observed and detected, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In view of the biocompatibility, infection and immunological rejection could not been found in the titanium al oy group;in contrast, infection appeared in three rabbits of the stainless steel group. Flexion, extension and lateral bending displacements under the spinal loading in the titanium al oy group were significantly less than those in the stainless steel group (P<0.05);axial pul-out strength in the titanium al oy group was significantly higher than that in the stainless steel group (P<0.05);flexion, extension, lateral bending and axial compression in the titanium al oy group were significantly greater than those in the stainless steel group (P<0.05). In conclusion, titanium al oy material has good biocompatibility that can be used to restore and maintain the spinal stability.

Objective To explore the attention bias characteristics and impacts of attention training on negative attention bias of undergraduates with sub-clinical depression.Methods The undergraduates whose BDI scores being at the top of 5％ were recruited as participations and assigned to early attention training group and late attention training group using random number table.The dot probe paradigm was used to compare the difference of depressive symptoms and ingredients of attention bias made by different processing phases of attention training.Results (1)The BDI score after the training(87.91± 12.47) was significantly lower than that the former test (97.23±17.72) (F~,32)=4.78,P＜0.05),and the attention bias score in late attention training group (-5.97±2.92) was lower than that in the early attention training group(2.77±2.75) (P＜0.05).The interaction of the stimulus materials presenting time and the measuring time was significant(F(2,64) =4.76,P＜0.05).Simple effect analysis showed that when the time of stimulus material presenting was 1 000 ms,the score of negative attention bias after the test (-4.89 ± 23.66) was significantly lower than pre-test (7.73±26.14) (F(1,33) =5.11,P＜ 0.05).In the pre-test,the negative attention bias scores of the stimulus materials presenting time for 100 ms and 1 000 ms (8.62 ± 27.60,7.73 ± 26.14) were significantly higher than that for 500 ms (-12.80±29.09)(P＜0.05).(2)When the negative disengaged score as a dependent variable,the repetitive measure analysis of variance showed that the interaction effect of the stimulus materials' presenting time and training group type was significant (F(1,32) =4.41,P＜0.05).Simple effect analysis results indicated the negative disengaged score of the late attention training group at post-test (-5.84±7.79) was significantly lower than that at pre-test (24.16±7.35) (P＜0.05).Conclusion The attention training during the late stage of the attention process can efficiently intervene the negative attention bias of undergraduates with sub-clinical depression.
