Objective To investigate the reliability of Narcotrend for monitoring the depth of sedation [the observer's assessment of alterness/sedation(OAA/S) scale] with midazolam and correlation between the depth of sedation and Narcotrend index.Methods 0 ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ status patients scheduled for elective lower limb operations underwent spinal anesthesia,who were given target-controlled infusion of midazolam.Target plasma concentration was 50ng/ ml at first and increased by 10 ng/ml each grade until OAA/S scale became 1 point.Each target concentration infusion was maintained for 5min.Observe the patient the OAA/S scale to be 5 points.If the operation was not over yet,regulated the appropriate depth of sedation until the end of operation.The Narcotrend index of different OAA/S scale and heart rate,mean arterial pressure,respiration were recorded.Results In the deepening or recovery phase of sedation,OAA/S scales were correlated with Narcotrend index (Spearman' s r =0.786,0.652,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Narcotrend is a good index to guide target controlled infusion of midazolam,the index is closely related with the depth of sedation of midazolam.

ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and safety of Proseal-laryngeal mask airway(PLMA) for anesthesia in endoscopic thyroidectomy.MethodsForty ASA class Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients underwent endoscopic thyroidectomy via breast approach were randomly divided into laryngeal mask venting group( Group P,n =20) and endotracheal tube venting group( Group T,n =20).Both groups were used the same anesthesia induction,maintenance and breathing parameter adjustment.The HR and MAP in both groups were recorded respectively before intubation,while intubation,2 min after intubation,before and after head back out center position,before extubation and 2 min after exbutation.The adverse effects of respiratory tract were recorded respectively.ResultsThere were no significant changes in HR and MAP in Group P before and after intubation,as well as before and after extubation( all P ＞ 0.05 ) ;In Group T,the HR and MAP while intubation,2 min after intubation are higher than that before intubation (all P ＞ 0.05).The HR and MAP in Group T,2 min after exbutation are higher than before extubation(all P ＞ 0.05 ).The incidence rate of sore throat and hoarse postoperatively were lower in Group P than in Group T( all P ＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionPLMA could be safely and effectively used in the anesthesia of endoscopic thyroidectomy.

Objective To evaluate clinical application of transthoraeic real time three-dimensional echocardiography(RT-3DE) on selecting oecluder of the atrial septal defect(ASD). Methods ASD size and its rim of thirty patients with ASD were measured by transthoracic two-dimensional echoeardiography(2DE) on various views before occlusion. ASD was reconstructed by transthoracic RT-3DE and color RT-3DE. The images were studied in multiple orientations and cross sections, including the morphology, area, longest diameter,and cycloidal dimension of substitution (CDS) was calculated. The waist size of occluder was measured after releasing oecluder. Results Among 30 eases of ASD, there were 22 cases(73.3 %) with non-round like defects. In various morphous of ASD,the waist morphology of occluder still was round-like after releasing oeeluder. There was no significant difference between waist area of occluder and measured area of ASD by RT-3DE and color RT-3DE. All ASD diameters measured by 2DE were smaller than the dimension of waist after releasing, ASD longest diameters measured by RT-3DE and color RT-3DE were larger than the dimension of waist after releasing,but were no significant differences with CDS. Significant correlation was existed between the CDS of ASD measured by RT-3DE and the size of selected occluder (Y = 0.29 + 1.132 X , r = 0.93, P<0.0001), and the waist size of released occluder(Y = - 0.160 + 1.063 X , r = 0.98, P 0.0001). Oceluder was firmly fixed without falling off in all patients. Conclusions Transthoracic RT-3DE has certain value on selection of ASD occluder.

Objective To analyse the failure reason in transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect(VSD) ,in order to improve the succeeding rate of occlusive operation on screening VSD patients with echocardiography. Methods Echocardiographic datas were summarized in 50 cases who were failed in VSD occlusion. Results Atrio-ventricular block was occurred in 14 patients,residual shunt was visualized in 13 cases,transcatheter occlusive track could not be set up in 19 cases,arotic valve regurgitation in two cases were screened obviously after occlusive device was released into the intracristal VSD. One case was suffered from cononary heart disease(CAD) and another one was suffered from acute myocardial infarction with ventricular septal perforation. All these patients did not succeed in closure procedure. Conclusions The defect sizes of left and right sides of ventricular septal, structure close to defect must be considered in selecting patients before operation by echocardiography. Occlusion operation should be strictly chosen in cases who were children,or suffered from complex VSD,or senior patients with CAD.

Objective To determine the EC50 of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride ( DEX) which causes disappearance of explicit memory by process dissociation procedure (PDP). Methods Forty patients those who had senior middle school or higher educational background undergoing lower extremity surgery with grade ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ, without hearing impairment, dysphasia,nervous system disorders,and having no drugs in the treatment of the central nervous system were included.PDP was applied to establish study table and record, and calculate performance of explicit memory and implicit memory. Memory performance was statistically compared with 0, 0 memory was considered to be statistically significant and disappearance, respectively.Sequential method was used for determination.According to explicit memory disappearance or not,target concentration of the next patient was adjusted (increase or decrease).DEX target concentration of the first patient was set to 4 ng?mL-1,and the ratio of target concentration between the adjacent patients was 1.2.If the explicit memory of the former patient disappeared,the target concentration of the next patient was decreased by 1 concentration gradient;if the explicit memory of the former patient did not disappear,the target concentration of the next patient was increased by 1 concentration gradient, and so forth. All the 40 patients were determined.The median effective dose (D1) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of DEX were calculated. Results The ED50 of DEX causing explicit memory disappearance was 5.23 ng?mL-1,and the 95% CI was 4.07-6.39 ng?mL-1. Conclusion In clinical,target concentration of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride 5.23 ng?mL-1 levels for sedation,can cause half of patients’ explicit memory disappear,so as to avoid intraoperative awareness.

Objective To investigate feedback regulation of close-loop muscle relaxant injection system on accuracy of cisatracurium besilate usage. Methods Two hundred patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery, aged 20 to 40 years old, at ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ, were randomly divided into two groups:control group and treatment group (n=100 each group).In the control group, the patients received injection of cisatracurium besilate with closed-loop muscle relaxant injection system at 1.5-2.0 μg·kg-1 ·min-1 , until 30 min before the end of surgery;if the muscle relaxant level could not meet the requirement of the operation, extra 0.05 mg·kg-1 was added.The treatment group was adopted closed-loop muscle relaxant monitoring under negative feedback regulation of infusion cisatracurium, and the close-loop control parameters were set to: drug was added when TOF was 8%, and injection speed was 2. 5 μg · kg-1 · min-1 , maintaining speed was 0. 33 μg · kg-1 · min-1 , the stimulus current for monitoring muscle relaxant was 60 mA , and the pulse width was 200μs.The Cooper score, cisatracurium dosage, and muscle recovery index, TOFr75 and TOFr90 of the two groups were compared. Prediction probability ( Pk ) of NI on awakening period of eye opening and directional force recovery of the two groups were detected, and regression equation was established to predict ED50 and ED95 related NI . Results Cooper score was significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group ( P<0. 01 ) . Muscle recovery index, TOFr75 , TOFr90 , and cisatracurium dosage per unit time and body mass were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group(P<0.01). Pk of NI on awakening period of eye opening and directional force recovery of the two groups were higher than 0.5; and Pk of the treatment group were significantly higher than those of the control group ( P<0.01) . Regression equation predicted that ED95 was significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group ( P<0.01) , while the ED50 between the two groups has no significant difference ( P>0.05) . Conclusion The accuracy of closed loop muscle relaxant injection system is higher than that of the traditional method, it provides better muscle relaxation effect for tracheal intubation, reduces recovery time, increases the Pk of NI on patient awakening.

Objective To evaluate the effect of propofol with different sedation depth on CERO 2 of elder patientsduring anesthesia. Method 60 case patients under cholecystotomywith laparoscope, ASA IorⅡgrading, 65-75 year old , 45-75 kg , were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 20 ) and were divided into group A (3 μg/mL), group B (4 μg/mL), group, C (5 μg/mL), according to TCI of propofol. TCI in different groups were modified after gereral anesthesia. Bloodgas was analyzed by blood samples taken from radial artery and Sjv ball, Da-jvO2 and CERO2 were calculated. Results The Da-jvO2 and CERO2 of group B and C were significantly lower thanthose of group A at T2,3, while CjvO2 were significantly higher thangroup A (P < 0.05). The Da-jvO2 and CERO2 of group B and C werenot significantly different (P > 0.05); NI value of group A in T1-3 was significantly higher thangroup B (P < 0.05), while. NI value of group B in T1-3 was significantly higher thangroup C (P < 0.05). Conclusion Propofol TCI 4 μg/mL, can improve cerebral oxygen metabolism of elder patients and decrease CERO2.

Objective To compare the effects of five different target-controlled concentrations of propofol combined with finite concentration of remifentanil on intraoperative awareness,so as to determine the safer and more effective concentration of propofol which could decrease explicit memory and reduce the incidence of intraoperative awareness. Methods One hundred and fifty patients ( ASAⅠ-Ⅱ) were randomly divided into five groups. There was no significant difference between each group in general condition. Before awaking,the target controlled concentration of remifentanil was adjusted to 2. 4 μg·L-1 in all five groups. Groups R1,R2,R3,R4 and R5 also received 0. 9%normal saline,0. 5 mg·L-1,1. 0 mg·L-1,1. 5 mg·L-1 and 2. 0 mg·L-1 of target controlled infusion ( TCI) of propofol, respectively. Narcotrend index ( NI), mean arterial pressure (MAP),heart rate (HR) and t [the time from t1(the time of awareness beginning) to the end of awareness] at t0(the time of adjusting propofol),t1,t2(the period of awareness),t3(wake period end 5 min) were recorded. Elimination of explicit memory after surgery was followed up. Results There were no significant differences in t and NI between groups R1,R2 and R3(P>0. 05). NI of groups R4 and R5 was significantly lower than that in groups R1,R2 and R3(P<0. 05),but t of groups R4 and R5 was longer than that in the other groups (P<0. 05). The MAP,HR and explicit memory of groups R3,R4 and R5 were lower than those in groups R1 and R2 (P<0. 05),but there were no significant differences between groups R3,R4 and R5 (P>0. 05). Conclusion Target controlled infusion of remifentanil 2. 4μg·L-1 combined with TCI propofol 1. 0 mg·L-1 does not affect the wakening controllability. The circulation was steadier and explicit memory could be eliminated during intraoperative awakening.

Strict regulation of HIV-1 PR function is critical for efficient production of mature viral particles. During viral protein expression and viral assembly, HIV-1 PR located within Gag-Pol precursor must be inactive to prevent premature cytoplasmic processing of the viral Gag and Gag-Pol precursors. Premature activation of HIV-1 precursors leads to major defects in viral assembly and production of viral particles. A cell-level premature activation of HIV-1 precursors assay using bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) was established. Three thousand compounds were screened to evaluate this assay. The results showed that the assay is sensitive, specific and stable (Z' factor is 0.905).
