OBJECTIVE: To present our experience of manipulation under general anesthesia for treating postoperative hip joint stiffness in children.METHODS: 193 children (226 hips) with postoperative joint stiffness were retrospectively studied at the Department of Pediatric Orthopaedics, Shengjing Hospital, China Medical University from January 1978 to December 2005, comprising 53 males and 140 females, aged 1-14 years old. 226 hips with postoperative stiffness from open reduction of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) (155 cases with 188 hips) and capsulotomy for hip sepsis or tuberculosis (38 cases with 38 hips) were retrospectively reviewed. All patients laid on the surgical table supinately under general anesthesia. The assistant fixed the pelvic with palms. The operator manipulated the hip joint with 3 steps: flexed hip joint slowly and gently to 110°-120° or more; then abducted and externally rotated hip joint; adducted and internally rotated the hip. Then 3-step passive manipulation was repeated for once at least. As soon as the patient waked from general anesthesia, Continuous passive motion was applied for the affected hip with the range of motion increasing daily for 1-2 weeks. They were followed averagely 15 months (6-24 months) to evaluate the promoted range of motion in flextion-extension and adduction-abdduction.RESULTS: 186 hips (82.3%) succeeded in manipulation in addition to 34 failure hips (15%) and 6 hips (2.7%) with femoral neck fracture. The successful rate, promoted range of motion in group of ≤6-year-old and group of ≤12-month-duration from primary surgery were significantly higher, femoral neck fracture rate was less than those in group of >6 years of age and group of >12-month-duration from primary surgery.CONCLUSION: Passive manipulation under general anesthesia is a safe, uninvasive and effective method in treating postoperative hip stiffness in children. Younger age (≤6 years) and less duration from the primary surgery (≤12 months) would yield better result.

Objective To establish the mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells expressing FasL protein and explore the mechanism of inducing allogeneic mouse spleen T lymphocyte apoptosis. MethodsMouse myeloid DCs were cultured in selective medium zontaining essential cytokines for DC growth in vitro. The mouse DCs were transfected with liposome-mediated FasL gene. The levels of FasL mRNA before and after transfection were assayed by real-time quantitative PCR. The expression levels of FasL protein were assayed by flow cytometry(FCM)and Western blot. Non-transfected DC,empty plasmid transfected DC and FasL transfected DC were infused intravenouslY into allogeneic mouse. After 7 days, the apoptosis in spleen T lymphocytes was evaluated by TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end-labeling)method and FCM. ResultsCultured in vitro, the mature myeloid DCs from mouse could be obtained.The expressions of FasL mRNA and protein in FasL transfected DCs were significantly higher. Through the detection of spleen T lymphocyte apoptosis with TUNEL,the apoptosis index(AI)was higher in FasL transfected DC(11.67±1.53),compared with non-transfected DC(2.67±0.58)and empty plasmid transfected DC(3.33±0.58),P<0.01. ConclusionA large quantity of myeloid DCs can be obtained through in vitro culture in selective medium. The liposome-mediated FasL gene transfected DCs could successfully express high levels of FasL protein. Intravenous infusion of FasL gene transfected DCs could induce apoptosis of allogeneic mouse spleen T lymphocytes.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of increasing end-tidal concentrations of sevoflurane and increasing stimulation voltage on motor evoked potentials,so as to provide evidence in making anesthesia plan for intraspinal tumor surgery.Methods:In the study,48 patients scheduled to undergo intraspinal tumor surgery [American Society of Anesthesiology,(ASA)Ⅰ-Ⅱ,18-65 years old]were enrolled. After general anesthesia induction,the patients were assigned to receive sevoflurane anesthesia of increa-sing end-tidal concentration in the sequence of 0.0%,0.5%,1 .0% and 1 .5% respectively,under a background of propofol and remifentanil.All the observations were done before the important steps of sur-gery.Remifentanil infusion rate was 0.2 μg /(kg·min),while the propofol infusion rate was adjusted to maintain the bispectral index values within the range of 30-50.At each concentration,4 stimulation voltages of 300 V,400 V,500 V and 600 V were employed to elicit motor evoked potentials (MEPs). The amplitude and latency of each MEP were compared.The success ratio was also recorded.Results:The concentration of sevoflurane and the stimulation voltage had impacts on the amplitude and latency of MEPs.Under each stimulation voltage,the MEPs amplitude decreased following increasing end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations,and significant differences were found in comparing 1 .5% sevoflurane (left 20.50 μV,70.71 μV,135.97 μV,190.00μV ,right 14.29 μV,50.71 μV,73.10μV,77.50μV) with 0.0% sevoflurane (left 143.00 μV,388.10 μV,484.53 μV,500.00 μV,right 176.00 μV, 407.60 μV,384.35 μV,451.00 μV)and 0.5% sevoflurane (left 100.00 μV,362.57 μV,444.05μV,435.00 μV,right 115.00 μV,207.15 μV,258.34 μV,358.50 μV),left χ2 =27.46,P<0.01,right χ2 =60.49,P<0.01;left χ2 =20.73,P<0.01,right χ2 =55.05,P<0.01;left χ2 =34.25,P<0.01,right χ2 =33.58,P<0.01;left χ2 =28.61,P<0.01 ,right χ2 =49.04,P<0.01;while there were no statistical differences in the latency changes (P =0.26 ).Under each end-tidal sevoflurane concentration,the MEPs amplitude increased following increasing stimulation voltages,and significant differences were found in comparing 300 V (left 143.00 μV,100.00 μV,61.50 μV,20.50μV ,right 176.00 μV,115.00 μV,41.07 μV,14.29 μV)with 400 V (left 388.10 μV,362.57μV,198.81 μV,70.71 μV,right 407.60 μV,207.15 μV,89.00 μV,50.71 μV)and 500 V (left 484.53 μV,444.05 μV,216.24μV,135.97 μV,right 384.35 μV,258.34μV,187.50μV,73.10μV)and 600 V (left 500.00 μV,435.00 μV,344.00 μV,190.00 μV,right 451.00 μV,385.50μV,156.00μV,77.50μV),leftχ2 =45.55,P<0.01,rightχ2 =25.73,P<0.01;leftχ2 =46.67, P<0.01,right χ2 =55.30,P<0.01;left χ2 =47.36,P<0.01,right χ2 =47.82,P<0.01;left χ2 =38.67,P<0.01,right χ2 =45.87,P<0.01;while the latencies were decreased,and significant dif-ferences were found in comparing 300 V with 400 V and 500 V and 600V(left F=7.50,P=0.01 ,right F=13.33,P<0.01),but the differences had little clinical significance.The success ratio decreased by increasing end-tidal sevoflurane concentration,and significant differences were found in comparing 1 .5%sevoflurane (left 43.8%,70.8%,77.1%,81.3%,right 37.5%,60.4%,75.0%,66.7%)with 0.0%sevoflurane (left 79.2%,87.5%,95.8%,93.8%,right 75.0%,95.8%,95.8%,95.8%)and 0.5%sevoflurane (left 72.9%,89.6%,95.8%,95.8%,right 66.7%,89.6%,95.8%,97.9%);the suc-cess ratio increased by increasing stimulation voltage,and significant differences were found in comparing 300 V(left 79.2%,72.9%,62.5%,43.8%,right 75.0%,66.7%,60.4%,37.5%)with 400 V(left 87.5%,89.6%,77.1%,70.8% ,right 95.8%,89.6%,79.2%,60.4%)and 500 V(left 95.8%, 95 .8%,9 1 .7%,77 .1%,right 95 .8%,95 .8%,8 1 .3%,75 .0%)and 600 V (left 93 .8%,95 .8%, 89.6%,81.3%,right 95.8%,97.9%,89.6%,66.7%),but there were no statistical differences in the success ratio of MEPs between the group with stimulation voltage of 600 V ,end tidal sevoflurane concen-tration of 1 .5% and the group with stimulation voltage of 300 V,end tidal sevoflurane concentration of 0.0% (P=0.22).Conclusion:Sevoflurane inhibited MEPs in a dose-dependent manner.It can de-crease the amplitudes and prolong the latencies.But increasing stimulation voltage will facilitate MEPs monitoring and increase the success ratio.Sevoflurane can be used in larger parts of MEPs monitoring surgery by increasing the stimulation voltage.
