Objective To compare the continuous subarachnoid block with ropivacaine or sufen?tanil either alone or in combination for labor analgesia. Methods Ninety nulliparous parturients who re?quired labor analgesia voluntarily, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, aged 23-35 yr, with a body height of 155-170 cm, were included in this study. When regular uterine contrac?tion appeared, labor analgesia was performed in the first stage of labor. The parturients were divided into 3 groups ( n=30 each ) using a random number table: ropivacaine group ( group R ) , sufentanil group (group S), and combination of ropivacaine and sufentanil group ( group RS). The spinal catheter was placed at L3,4 interspace. In group R, ropivacaine was given as an initial bolus of (0.6 mg∕ml) 5 ml fol?lowed by an infusion of 0.2 mg∕ml after the analgesia pump was connected. In group S, sufentanil was given as an initial bolus of (1.6 μg∕ml) 5 ml followed by an infusion of 0.2μg∕ml after the analgesia pump was connected. In group RS, the mixture of ropivacaine 0. 3 mg∕ml plus sufentanil 0. 8 μg∕ml was given as an initial bolus of 5 ml, followed by an infusion of the mixture of ropivacaine 0. 1 mg∕ml plus sufentanil 0.1 μg∕ml after the analgesia pump was connected. The analgesia pump was programmed to deliver a 5 ml bolus dose with a 15 min lockout interval, background infusion at a rate of 5 ml∕h, and the total volume of 100 ml in the three groups. The analgesia pump was connected at 30 min after the initial bolus was given, and the infusion was stopped at 2 h after delivery in the three groups. Visual analog scale ( VAS) scores were maintained ≤3. VAS scores were recorded before analgesia and at 5, 10 and 30 min after the initial bolus was given. The interval and duration of uterine contraction were recorded before analgesia, in 0-30 min, 30-60 min and 90-120 min of analgesia periods, and in the second stage of labor. The development of nausea and vomiting, pruritus, lateral episiotomy, assisted vaginal delivery, cesarean section, and post?dural puncture headache and requirement for oxytocin were recorded. Apgar scores at 1, 5 and 10 min after birth were recorded. Results The Apgar score of the newborn was more than or equal to 7 at 1, 5 and 10 min after birth in the three groups. Compared with the value before analgesia, the interval of uterine contraction was significantly prolonged, and the duration of uterine contraction was significantly shortened in the 0-30 min of analgesia period in group R ( P<0.05) , and no significant change was found in the inter?val and duration of uterine contraction in each analgesia period in S and RS groups ( P>0.05) . Compared with group R, the VAS scores were significantly increased at 5 and 10 min after the initial bolus was given, the interval of uterine contraction was significantly shortened, and the duration of uterine contraction was significantly prolonged in S and RS groups, and the incidence of pruritus was significantly decreased in group S ( P<0.05 or 0.01) . Compared with group S, the incidence of pruritus was significantly decreased ( P<0.01) , and no significant change was found in the VAS scores at each time point and interval and du?ration of uterine contraction in each analgesia period in group RS ( P>0.05) . Conclusion Continuous sub?arachnoid block with combination of ropivacaine and sufentanil provides better efficacy for labor analgesia than ei?ther alone.

Objective To analyze the mechanism of nasal deformity by reviewing the possible pathogenesis and nasal anatomy and to find the effective and reliable operative methods to correct nasal deformities in unilateral cleft lip.Methods 57 patients (37 males,20 females,and range in age from 12 to 25 years,with mean of 18.6 years) with nasal deformities in unilateral cleft lip were available for this study.The nasal deformities were treated with the following surgical procedures according to the different locations and degree Of nasal deformities.The eompositive techniques included:alveolar bone grafting was taken to correct the collapse the nasaI base;a cortical plate was inserted between the two medial crura of the alar cartilage.According to the nasal contours of non-cleft side,the alar cartilage was resected and suspended to its normal and symmetrical position.The alar cartilaginous ring was reconstruction,which maintained the nostril shape 3 month postoperatively.Results A total of 57 cases were treated by the method above,and were ranged with score by operators and patients.93% of cases were evaluated as satisfaction after operation.The follow-up for 3 to 24 months showed that 52 cases had achieved satisfactory effects,5 cases showed the trend to relapse.Conclusion The cause of nasal deformities in unilateral cleft lip is complex.The study has achieved a significant improvement by synthetical correction of deformities of maxilla,cartilage and soft tissues, and the restoration of nasal-labial muscles.The rigid suspending is more important to maintain the nostril contour and avoid relapse.

Objective To discuss the feasibility and safety of continuous spinal anesthesia (CSA) in renal transplantation through comparing the effects of combined spinal and epidural anesthesia (CSEA) and CSA renal transplantation. Methods Sixty patients undertaking renal transplantation were divided into two groups randomly. Group A, 30 patients, undertaking operation with CSEA; Group B, 30 patients, undertaking operation with CSA. The patients in group A were injected 2 mL 0.75% ropivacaine, then epidural catheter was inserted, 0. 75% ropivacaine 10 mL was administered when needed. The patients in group B were injected 2 mL 0.75% ropivacaine into spinal through Spinocath catheter, and 0.75% ropivacaine 1ml was administered through Spinocath catheter when needed. We observed the effects of the two anesthesia methods and the changes of the patients' vital signs. Results The patients in group A and B all completed the operation smoothly; there were no significant differences in the circulatory function before and during operation; there were no complications related to anesthesia in all the patients; group B was superior to group A in the aspects of the control and maintaining of anesthesia. Conclusion Continuous spinal anesthesia applied to renal transplantation is safe and feasible.

Objective: To study the role of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) in the formation of cholesterol calculus and investigate the effects of Shengqing CapsuObjective: To observe the effects of Huzhang Gout Granule (HZGG), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on cyclooxygenase (COX) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) activities, the two important oxidases in the course of inflammation, so as to investigate the possible anti-inflammatory mechanism of HZGG. Methods: After stimulating the blood sample of healthy volunteer with calcium ionophore A23187, concentration of thromboxane B(2) (TXB(2)) in the healthy volunteer's blood was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to observe the effects of HZGG at low- and high-dose on the activity of COX-1, with aspirin as control drug. The concentration of prostaglandin I(2) (PGI(2)) in the healthy volunteer's blood sample, in which aspirin was added to destroy activity of COX-1 beforehand and which was stimulated with lipopolysaccharide, was detected by ELISA method to observe the effects of HZGG on the activity of COX-2, with celecoxib as control drug. In the animal experiment, 40 rats were implanted with sponges soaking in 0.5% arachidonic acid solution in the back to induce inflammatory effusion. Content of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in the polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) from the inflammatory effusions was detected with reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) to observe the impacts of different doses of HZGG on the activity of 5-LOX, with dexamethasone as control drug. Results: The concentration of TXB(2) in the low-dose HZGG group was higher than those in the high-dose HZGG group and the aspirin group (P<0.05). The concentrations of PGI2 in the low- and high-dose HZGG groups were higher than that in the celecoxib group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the low-dose HZGG group and the high-dose HZGG group (P>0.05). The content of LTB4 in the blank control group was higher than those in the low-dose HZGG group, the high-dose HZGG group or the dexamethasone group (P<0.05) Conclusion:HZGG can reduce the releasing of inflammatory mediators, such as TXB2, PGI2 and LTB4, by inhibiting the activities of COX and 5-LOX.
