Objective: To investigate pharmacokinetics of propofol during anhepatic period of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in children. Methods: In 5 children undergoing OLT, 2 mg/kg propofol was injected intravenously at the beginning of induction and anhepatic periods respectively. The plasma concentration of propofol was measured by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography(RP-HPLC), and the pharmacokinetics character of propofol between anhepatic and inducing periods were compared. Results: Propofol had wide distribution and high clearance, and its plasma concentration-time curves were fitted to a three-compartment open model. Conclusion: There is no difference of propofol metabolism between anhepatic and inducing periods, suggesting that there must be notable extra-hepatic metabolism when propofol used in children undergoing OLT.

At present, the computer administration and network system for diabetes still need exploration in China. A management software for the prevention and treatment of diabetes has been developed, taking the advanced MS SQL SERVER system as background database, while PowerBuilder 9.0 as foreground development tool. Both personal version and net version are configurable at random. This software includes six parts, namely the general data of patients, conventional physical examination of patients, treatment proposal, knowledge management, data query and statistical analysis, and system maintenance, in which they contact and conjugate with each other for the convenience of the whole processing. Good effects are obtained in the practical application of this software, and a regional network of the preventive and therapeutic information for diabetes is set up combining with other medical units, which can share the individual information, improve the ability of cooperative and follow-up study of diabetes, promote the data transferring and diagnosing quality of primary medical services, and is beneficial for both patients and physicians.
