This study was aimed to optimize the vacuumextraction technology of alkaloids fromSophora alopecuroides. The orthogonal test and comprehensive evaluation were used to optimize the vacuumextraction technology. Contents of total alkali and oxymatrinewere used as index components for optimizing the effect of three factors, which were the adding amount of water, extraction time, and extraction frequency. Comparison was made among optimal conventional extraction process, decoction extraction and vacuumextraction. The results showed that the optimum extraction process was to add 12 times amount of water, and to extract for 3 times under the temperature of 60℃, 1h for each time. It was concluded that the optimized extraction vacuum technologyof alkaloids fromS. alopecuroidsdecompression total alkali content and oxymatrine process was better than that of optimal conventional extraction process and decoction extraction. The vacuumextraction technology was stable and practical.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of tirofiba in the treatment of patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). MethodsA total of 158 patients with acute STEMI were randomly divided into tirofiban group 1 (59 cases, received tirofiban before PCI), tirofiban group 2 (56 cases, received tirofiban when PCI) and control group(43 cases, only received PCI). The coronary reperfusion flow(TIMI grade) of infarct related artery (IRA) after PCI, the resolution of the sum of ST segment elevation(sum STR) at 90 min after the procedure, the changes of myocardial enzyme at 6 h and 12 h afterwards, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 1 week later, the major adverse cardiac events(MACE) within 30 d, bleeding and thrombocytopenia complications were analyzed and compared among the three groups. ResultsTIMI reperfusion grades in tirofiban group 1[98.3%(58/59 )]and tirofiban group 2[92.9%(52/56)]were higher than those in control group[60.5%(26/43)](P <0.05). The resolution of sum STR at 90 min after PCI in tirofiban group 1 [(89.3 ± 6.9)%]and tirofiban group 2[(82.4 + 7.3)%]was higher than that in control group[(65.6 +8.1 )%](P< 0.01 ),and there was significant difference between tirofiban group I and tirofiban group 2 (P<0.05 ). The occurrence of MACE within 30 d was lower in tirofiban group 1 and tirofiban group 2 than that in control group (P< 0.05). The level of CK-MB at 6 h and 12 h afterwards was lower in tirofiban group 1 than that in tirofiban group 2,and tirofiban group 2 was lower than control group (P< 0.05). LVEF 1 week later in tirofiban group 1[(56.2 + 6.4)%]was higher than that in tirofiban group 2[(51.1 + 4.9)%]and control group[(49.8 + 5.7)%](P < 0.05),but there was no significant difference between tirofiban group 2 and control group (P > 0.05). Although bleeding incidence in tirofiban group 1 and tirofiban group 2 was higher than that in control group, no severe bleeding and thrombocytopenia was observed. Conclusion Tirofiban can safely and effectively reduce the incidence of the ischemic events in the patients with acute STEM1 during preoperative of emergency PCI.

Objective:To study the feasibility of using sevoflurane induction in infants' removing stitches after cleft lip surgery. Methods:60 infants after cleft lip surgery were randomly divided into three groups:group K (ketamine group,n=20),group S (sevoflurane group,n=20) and group SN (sevoflurane and nitrous oxide group,n=20). Group K were given intramuscular ketamine 5 mg/kg,midazolam 0.05 mg/kg and atropine 0.01 mg/kg. Group S were induced with inhalation of 8% sevoflurane under 6 L/min oxygen. Group SN were induced with inhalation of 8% sevoflurane under 4 L/min nitrous oxide and 2 L/min oxygen. After induction,anesthesia was continued with inhalation of sevoflurane under 3 L/min oxygen for 2 min before starting removing stitches. HR and SpO2 were monitored regularly during operation. The induction time,recovery time,occurrence of head moving,complication such as respiratory depression and increased secretion were recorded. Results:Induction and recover time in group S and group SN were similar,but faster than that of group K. Head moving in group S and group SN were less than that in group K. There happened glossoptosis and increased secretion in all the three groups,but no differences were found significantly. Conclusion:Inhaled induction of sevoflurane has more rapid induction and recover compared with intramuscular ketamine,and can be used safely in infants' removing stitches after cleft lip surgery. Additional inhalation of nitrous oxide can not shorten infants' induction and recovery time than sevoflurane inhalation alone.

BACKGROUND: We can investigate mechanism of endogenous neuroprotection in rat cerebral hypoxic tolerance trial. OBJECTIVE: To observe the characteristics of cerebral hypoxic tolerance in rat models with cerebral hypoxic preconditioning. DESIGN: Randomized controlled observation. SETTING: Department of Neurology, China-Japanese Friendship Hospital, Jilin University. MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in the Basic Animal Experimental Center, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Jilin University from April 2003 to April 2004. Inbred line healthy Wistar rats, of either sex, with the body mass of 200-300 g, were randomly assigned into normal control group (n=6), sham operation group (n=6), ischemic control group (n=20), hypoxic preconditioning (3 hours, 8% O2 and 92% N2) plus ischemic group (n=60) (according to different hypoxic phases, there were 5 time phases: 30 minutes, 1, 3, 5 and 6 hours with 12 rats in each time phase), hypoxic preconditioning group (n=18) [according to different hypoxic phases, there were 3 time phases: 1, 3 and 5 hours with 6 rats in each time phase, 3 rats received TTC staining and 3 rats received hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining]. METHODS: ①Hypoxic preconditioning: Firstly, natrica calx was put into closed glass container to absorb CO2 and O2, secondly, mixed gas of 8% O2 and 92% N2 was input, and then animals were put into the container, 3 rats each time. Temperature and humidity were kept steadily. ②Permanent ischemic middle cerebral artery rat models were established. ③The models were determined with a series in procedures: neurological score, infarcted volume evaluation, pathological sample preparation, immunohistochemical staining, imaging analysis and so on. ④The data were compared in groups with variance analysis.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Changes in cerebral infarcted volume, neurological score and pathological morphology in rats of experimental group and control group. RESULTS: Neurological score in the hypoxic preconditioning (8% O2, at hours 1, 3 and 5) plus ischemic group was lower than in the ischemic control group(P<0.01). Neurological score at minute 30 and hour 6 after hypoxia (8% O2) had insignificant difference in the ischemic control group. Mean cerebral infarcted volume ratio in the hypoxic preconditioning (8% O2, at hours 1, 3 and 5) plus ischemic group was lower than in the ischemic control group(P<0.01). Mean cerebral infarcted volume ratio after hypoxia (8% O2, at minute 30 and hour 6) had insignificant difference with ischemic control group (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Hypoxic preconditioning in rats can effectively release nerve injury induced by focal cerebral ischemia, suggesting that it has protective effect on brain. The procedure of establishing cerebral ischemic tolerance models with hypoxic preconditioning, which is simple and stable, with little injury on experimental animals, is a useful tool for studying cerebral ischemic tolerance.

Objective To evaluate the safety and feasibility of injection test which is used to locate esophageal balloon catheter.Methods A prospective study was conducted. The patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) admitted to general intensive care unit (ICU) of Beijing Tiantan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from May 2015 and March 2017 were enrolled. The commercially available esophageal balloon catheter was modified to perform injection test. The catheter was withdrawn step by step and the injection test was repeated until the presence disturbance wave presented, which indicated that the balloon had just entered the esophagus. The position where disturbance wave appears was named 0 cm. End-expiratory occlusions were performed at the positions of+15,+10,+5, 0, -5, -10 and -15 cm, respectively, and the changes of esophageal pressure (Pes) and airway pressures (Paw) were measured in the spontaneous breathing and passive ventilation, and the ratio between the changes (ΔPes/ΔPaw) was calculated.Results A total of 20 patients were enrolled, of which 15 patients finished both the spontaneous and the passive ventilation parts, and 2 patients finished only the spontaneous part and 3 patients finished only passive part. ① Disturbance waves could be induced by injection test in all patients. The average depth of disturbance wave in spontaneous breathing was deeper than that in passive ventilation (cm: 42.4±3.8 vs. 41.8±3.3), but there was no significant difference between the two ventilation settings (P = 0.132). No adverse events occurred during the study period. ② Pes increased with the stepwise withdraw of esophageal catheter, reached the maximal value at+5 cm, and then decreased when the catheter was further withdrawn, no matter in the spontaneous or the passive ventilation. In spontaneous breathing, the ΔPes/ΔPaw was within the ideal range (0.8-1.2) at the positions of 0, -5 and -10 cm. The ΔPes/ΔPaw was closest to unity at the positions of 0 cm (0.98±0.15). The ΔPes/ΔPaw at -15 cm (0.66±0.26) was significantly lower than that at 0 cm (P < 0.05). For passive ventilation, the ΔPes/ΔPaw was within the ideal range at the positions of -5 cm and -10 cm, and the ΔPes/ΔPaw was closest to unity at the positions of-10 cm (0.94±0.12). The ΔPes/ΔPaw at 0 cm and -5 cm was significantly higher than that at -10 cm (1.43±0.31 and 1.12±0.14, respectively); while the ΔPes/ΔPaw at -15 cm (0.68±0.23) was significantly lower than that at -10 cm (allP < 0.01).Conclusions Ideal position of the esophageal balloon catheter could be determined quickly and easily by using injection test. The method is safe and clinically feasible.Clinical Trial Registration Clinical Trials, NCT02446938.
