Objective To evaluate the clinical validity of physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) in aged patients undergoing thoracic surgery. Methods Physiological and operative severity scores were kept in 206 aged patients undergoing thoracic surgery, in which peritoneal soiling was converted to pleura soiling. The physiological score and the operative risk score were compared between the groups with or without the postoperative complications. The mortality and morbidity rates were calculated. Actual mortality and morbidity rates were compared with the rates predicted by POSSUM. Results Among 206 patients, there were postoperative complications in 97 patients. The physiological score and the operative severity score were significantly higher in the group in whom complications occurred compared with those without complications (19.3?0.7 vs 15.1?0.6 for physiological score, P

Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor and its treatment is still a challenge.Recent studies have shown that medication plays an important role in preoperative and postoperative adjuvant therapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer and is also a major thera-peutic method for advanced pancreatic cancer.It can improve the survival time and quality of life in patients with pancreatic cancer.Tradi-tional chemotherapy regimens based on gemcitabine and fluorouracil have limited effects in the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer,and studies on molecular targeted therapies have achieved some progress in recent years.With reference to related guidelines or consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer and important clinical trials of the treatment of pancreatic cancer,this article elaborates on the selection and therapeutic effect evaluation of chemotherapy regimens for pancreatic cancer.We believe that with the research and develop-ment of new drugs and the application of new techniques,the treatment of pancreatic cancer will achieve new breakthroughs in future.

Objective To investigate the correlation between PaCO2 and cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral metabolism of oxygen (CMRO2), glucose (CMRglu) and lactate (CMRlact) and intracranial pressure during intracranial surgery. Methods Twenty ASA Ⅰ - Ⅱ patients (6 male, 6 female), aged between 26-54yr, weighing (65 ? 11) kg scheduled for elective intracranial surgery were studied. The patients were unpremedicated. Before general anesthesia radial artery was cannulated and a catheter was inserted into internal jugular vein and advanced cranially until jugular bulb. Lumber puncture was performed at L3-4 and a catheter was inserted into subarachnoid space for 3 cm, for pressure monitoring and CSF sampling. Anesthesia was induced with diazepam 10mg, fentanyl 3-4?g?kg-1, propofol 2mg?kg-1 and vecuronium 0.08mg?kg-1 iv. The patients were mechanically ventilated with a mixture of oxygen and argon (O2 : argon = 3 : 1) after tracheal intubation. Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane and intermittent iv boluses of vecuronium. Arterial and cerebral venous blood gases, glucose and lactate levels, CBF, ICP and CSF level of lactate were determined before anesthesia when patients were awake(Ⅰ) and during anesthesia when PETCO2 = 40, 30, 20 mm Hg (Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ). CBF was measured by modified Kety-Schmidt inert gas saturation technique with argon. CMRO2 and CMRglu were calculated based on the difference in their arterial -cerebral venous blood levels. Results At PETCO2 20mm Hg (Ⅳ) CBF decreased by 57.75% and CMRO2 by 58.70% as compared with the baseline; CMRglu decreased by 46.93% as compared with the baseline. There was no significant change in lactate level, jugular venous blood O2 saturation and pH. ICP decreased from (22.14 ? 7.88)mm Hg( Ⅰ) to (17.57?5.03)mm Hg( Ⅱ ),(13.43?4.89)mm Hg(Ⅲ) and (10.00? 2.31)mm Hg(Ⅳ) and the differences were significant. All measurements were done when MAP and HR were stable. PET CO2 was (10? 2) mm Hg lower than PaCO2 . Conclusions Cerebral blood flow, cerebral oxygen and glucose metabolism and intracranial pressure change with changes in PET CO2 . Cerebral vascular reactivity to CO2 is not impaired by 1.3 MAC sevoflurane. Mild hypocapnia is necessary during neurosurgery.

Objective To inveatigate the effect of 15-HETE, a metabolite of arachidonic acid, on isolated hypoxic pulmonary arterial ringa ( PARs) , trying to find appropriate treatment for pulmonary hypertension and its complications during anesthesia in order to avoid hypoxemia. Methods Sixteen healthy Wistar rats of either sex weighing (230 ? 10) g were randomly divided into two groups : A control group breathing fresh air (FiO2 =21%) and B hypoxia group breathing hypoxic air (N2 = 90% , O2 = 10% ) in a hypoxic box. After breathing hypoxic air for 9 days the animals were anesthetized. Heart and lungs were immediately removed and PARs (0.5-1.0 mm in diameter and 3 mm in length) were prepared. Four PARs were prepared from each animal. The PARs were suspended in baths filled with Krebs-Hensleit (K-H) solution maintained at 37℃ and aerated with 95% O2 and 5% CO2. Preload was gradually increased to 0.3 g in 30 min. The isometric tension was measured using a four-channel force-displacement transducer. 15-HETE was added to K-H solution and the concentration was gradually increased from 10-8 to 10-6 mol?L-1 at 5 min intervals. Contractility of PARs was analyzed by a software of Medlab 6.0. Concentration-tension curve was drawn and contraction rates were calculated. 2 mmol?L-1 4-AP, 10-2 mol?L-1 TEA and 10-6 mol?L-1 GLYB were added to separate K-H solution baths and 40 min later 15-HETE was added in order to detennine the effect of difierent potassium channel blockers on contraction response of PARs to 15-HETE. Results With increasing concentration from 10-8 to 10-6 mol?L-1 , 15-HETE increased PARs tension gradually in a dose-dependent manner from 106% ?6% to 139% ? 4% in group A and from 113% ?6% to 163% ?6% in group B. The difference in PARs tension between group A and B was statistically significant (P
