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 investigate whether or not the pulmonary artery participates in the blood supply of lung cancer and its change of morphology and blood flow in lung cancer. Methods Two different colors of silicone were injected separately into the bronchial and pulmonary arteries of 33 rat models with squamous cell carcinoma of lung. The origin of blood supply of lung cancer and the morphologic change of pulmonary artery were observed under a stereomicroscope. The DSA of bronchial and pulmonary artery were performed simultaneously in 28 patients with lung cancer. Results The pulmonary branch of rat and patients were reduced, thinned and occluded in the affected lung. The pulmonary artery did not form tumor vessel, and pulmonary blood flow and perfusion were reduced or absent in the affected area. Conclusion The pulmonary artery didn′t participate in the blood supply of lung cancer. It is unreasonable to perform transcatheter chemo embolization for lung cancer via pulmonary arteriay.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the relationship between the proliferation of parathyroid cell in rabbit with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and the bone mineral density (BMD). MethodsEighty adult Chinese rabbits were randomly and equally divided into two groups. The contrast group was fed with normal diet ( Ca ∶ P, 1.0 ∶ 0. 7 ) and the experimental group was fed with high phosphate diet ( Ca ∶ P,1.0∶7.0) to establish the animal model of PHPT. At 3, 4, 5, and 6 months after the diet, bone mineral density of the rabbits was measured by the quantity CT (QCT). Then, the parathyroid and bone of the rabbits were removed for pathological examination. The number of parathyroid cell in PHPT was calculated.Proliferation was determined by immunohistochemistry of proliferation cell nuclear antigen ( PCNA ) and Bcl-2. The t test and Logistic regression was used to analyze the difference of data of two groups. ResultThe number of parathyroid cell in PHPT group was 1.61 times than that in the contrast group[ (673 ± 151 ) HP,(418 ± 25 ) HP,P ＜0. 01]. The rate of PCNA positive-cell was significantly increased in PHPT group than that in contrast group [(50.52 ± 11.62)％o, (26.70 ± 2. 78 )％, P ＜ 0.01], and so was Bcl-2[ (460. 37 ± 190. 05 )‰, (67. 02 ±:4. 38 )％‰,P ＜0. 05]. The value of BMD was significantly decreased in PHPT group than that in contrast group [ ( 152. 5 ± 34. 3 ), ( 188.6 ± 12. 2 ) g/cm3, P ＜ 0. 05]. There was a negative correlation between BMD and PCNA (r ＝ -0. 749, P ＜ 0. 05 ) and between BMD and Bcl-2 (r ＝-0.800, P ＜ 0. 05 ) in PHPT group. ConclusionThe BMD of PHPT is related to the parathyroid cells proliferation which provide a reliable method for early diagnosis of PHPT.
