Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2010;29(6):492-494
Objective To explore the effect of ProSeal laryngeal mask airway and endotracheal tube on analepsia stage of general anesthesia in geriatric patients undergoing radical mastectomy.Methods Thirty geriatric females with breast cancer of American Standards Association (ASA)Ⅰ-Ⅱscheduled for selective radical mastectomy under general anesthesia were randomly allocated to two groups: ProSeal laryngeal mask airway group(PLMA group, n=15) and endotracheal tube group (ET group, n=15). The patients were put on PLMA or were intubated with ET under general anesthesia in the two groups, respectively. The heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure(SBP)and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were recorded at the time points of 5 min after entering operation room (T0), end of surgery (T1), opening eyes (T2), after extubation (PLMA) immediately (T3) and 3 min after extubation (PLMA) (T4). The numbers of patients who were given antihypertensive agent,showed bucking, agitation or sore throat, nausea and vomiting after extubation were recorded during the analepsia stage of general anesthesia. Results The blood pressure (BP) and HR were mildly.increased in PLMA group at T2, and there was no significant difference compared with T0(P>0.05). But the BP and HR were significantly higher at T3 than at T0 (P<0.05). In ET group, the BP and HR were both significantly elevated at T2 and T3 than at T0 (P<0.05), and reached the peak at T3. The increased levels of BP and HR were significantly lower in PLMA group than in ET group at T2 and T3 (P<0.05). The quantities of patients who were given antihypertensive agent, showed bucking and sore throat were less in PLMA group than in ET group(P<0.05). No differences in incidence rate of agitation, nausea and vomiting after extubation between the two groups were observed(P>0.05). Conclusions PLMA can obviously reduce the occurrence of complications in analepsia stage of general anesthesia in geriatric patients scheduled for selective radical mastectomy,and is beneficial to provide much safer anesthesia.

To observe the morphological changes in photoreceptor after experimental retinal detachment in cats. Twenty eight cats were divided into experimental group and control group. Retinal detachment was produced by injecting 0 25% solution of Healon into the subretinal space with the aid of a micropipette. Histologic sections of retina were processed for light and electron microscopy at detachment intervals ranging from 0 5 days to 3 months. At 24 hours postdetachment, the outer segments were distended and disrupted, but the inner segments and photoreceptor cell bodies were only slightly affected. 3-14 days after detachment, the inner segments were affected at multiple sites, albeit to varying degrees. Some of them were vacuolizated at the tip, with mitochondria swollen and cristae fragmented. At the same time, the photoreceptor cell bodies often showed a distension of endoplasmic reticulum, deterioration of mitochondria, and the presence of multivesicular bodies. 1-3 months after detachment, large empty spaces in the outer nuclear layer and a progressive loss of cytoplasmic ground substance and organelles appeared in some photoreceptors as detachment duration lengthened. Necrosis of the inner segments and cell bodies were more marked in the more serious detachment than those in shallow ones. Degenerative changes occured in the photoreceptor very soon after experimental retinal detachment, and these changes were correlated with both the depth and duration of retinal detachment.

Objective To investigate the causes, diagnosis and treatment of infants with secondary methylmalonic aciduria due to maternal vitamin B 12 deficiency. Methods The clinical, laboratory data and treatment of 7 children with secondary methylmalonic aciduria and their mothers′ health and nutrition were retrospectively reviewed. Results All children were presented to the hospital with vomiting, seizures or mental retardation during 1 to 13 months after birth. Varied degrees of anemia was found in 6 infants and 5 with metabolic acidosis and liver dysfunction. Methylmalonic aciduria was found in all subjects. Four of the mothers had chronic gastritis, one with gallstones in liver and gallbladder and one was a vegetarian. Decreased serum level of vitamin B 12 and folic acid and elevated homocystine concentrations were found in all mothers. After vitamin B 12 and folic acid supplementation, significant improvement was observed in all patients. Six infants showed normal development and one had mild mental retardation. Conclusions Chronic gastritis, liver/gall bladder diseases or being a vegetarian might lead to maternal vitamin B 12 deficiency and then infantile secondary methylmalonic aciduria. Early diagnosis and vitamin B 12 and folic acid supplement are crucial in improving the prognosis.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of target-controlled infusion of propofol and remifentanil in geriatric patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing percutaneous radiofrequency ablation. Methods Thirty geriatric patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma of ASA Ⅱ-Ⅲ scheduled for percutaneous radiofrequency ablation under monitored anesthesia care (MAC) were randomly allocated to two groups: target-controlled infusion of propofol and remifentanil group (PR group, n= 15) and intravenous injection of midazolam and fentanyl group (MF group. n= 15). The mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) of patients were recorded during the treatment. The Ramsay Score, Patient Cooperation Score, VAS Score and postoperative Patient Satisfaction Score were recorded as well. Results The Ramsay Score, Patient Cooperation Score, VAS Score and Patient Satisfaction Score were all higher in PR group than in MF group (all P<0.05). The maximum values of MAP and HR [( 108.7± 8.6) mm Hg, (83.8±7.1) times/min] were significantly higher than the baseline values [( 99.3 ± 8.5) mm Hg, (76.3±7.1) times/min] in MF group, and the degree of increment of MAP and HR were significantly greater in MF group than in PR group (both P<0.05). The minimum values of MAP and HR [(84.5±6.5) mm Hg, (66.6 ± 6.6) times/min] were significantly lower than the baseline values [(97.7±6.5) mm Hg, (75.4±7.3) times/min] in PR group, and the degree of decrement of MAP and HR were significantly greater in PR group than in MF group (both P<0.05). SpO2 of both groups decreased significantly (the minimum values of PR and MF groups were 95.1±2.0 and 95.5± 2.2, respectively), but there was no statistical difference between two groups (P>0.05) . Conclusions MAC with target-controlled infusion of propofol and remifentanil is more suitable for geriatric patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing percutaneous radiofrequency ablation, as it can provide ideal analgesia and sedation, but the respiration and the change of hemodynamics of patients must be observed seriously.
