Objective To investigate the effects of preoperative sleep disturbance on the efficacy of flurbiprofen for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing endoscopic nasal surgery.Methods Ninety-six ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes (aged 20-60 years and weighing 50-80 kg) undergoing endoscopic nasal surgery were enrolled in this study.Pittsburg sleep quality index was used to evaluate the long-term sleep quality before hospitalization and Athens sleep quality index was used to evaluate the short-term sleep quality in hospital.The patients were divided into four groups according to the types of preoperative sleep disturbance (n =24 each):no sleep disturbance (group Ⅰ),long-term sleep disturbance (group Ⅱ),acute short-term sleep disturbance (group Ⅲ),and long-term + acute short-term sleep disturbance (group Ⅳ).Anesthesia was induced with sufentanil,propofol and cis-atracurium and maintained with intravenous infusion of remifentanil and propofol.Then the patients received endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation.The end-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide was maintained at 30-35 mm Hg.Controlled hypotension was performed with nicardipine,and the mean arterial blood pressure was maintained at 50-70 mm Hg and heart rate at 60-90 bpm during operation.The patients received intravenous injection of flurbiprofen 50 mg 15 minutes before the end of operation for postoperative analgesia.When the visual analogue scale score was more than 3 during the first 6 hours after operation,flurbiprofen 50 mg was given intravenously as rescue analgesia.Results The incidence of rescue analgesia administered after operation was significantly greater in groups Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ than in group Ⅰ,and greater in group Ⅳ than in groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ.There was no significant difference in the incidence of rescue analgesia administered during the first 6 hours after operation between groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ.Conclusion Preoperative sleep disturbance has adverse effects on the efficacy of flurbiprofen for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing endoscopic nasal surgery.

Objective To observe the transformation features of children with complete atrioventricular block(CAVB), and to improve the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.Methods Seventeen children with primary diagnosis of CAVB were reviewed by retrospective and follow-up study and the clinical characteristics, treatment schemes and prognosis were evaluated.Results Four cases of congenital CAVB lived normally without obvious symptoms in the tracing period from 6 months to 9 years;1 case had the onset of Adams-Stokes syndrome induced by diarrhea;3 cases of the CAVB caused by virus myocarditis turned into sinus rhythm after comprehensive therapy;2 cases persistently presented with the CAVB Complicated with enlarged heart;1 case gave up treatment after deterioration, and one case died.Three cases of temporary CAVB after the open heart operation turned to sinus rhythm in transitory time, while other two cases presented with permanent CAVB and treated with epicardium pacemaker,among whom one had the pacemaker replaced for one time in the 8-year follow-up,and the follow-up of other cases were intermitted.Conclusions The congenital CAVB in the study group with normal QRS interphase and no obvious symptom might not require treatment but follow-up is needed. While infants with heart malformation and wide QRS wave could not endure the low ventricular rhythm are in high risk. Virus myocarditis induced CAVB children tend to present the Adams-Stokes syndrome, and require effective treatments. Partial cases of the CAVB caused by open heart operation may turn to normal sinus rhythm in 2-4 weeks after surgery. cases has persistent CAVB for over 4 weeks, or Adams-Stokes syndrome onset after the surgery demand epicardium pacemaker treatment.

Objective To investigate the association between arsenic(+3 oxidation state) methyltransferase (AS3MT) genetic polymorphism and susceptibility to endemic arsenism.Methods Polymerase chain reactionrestriction fragment length polymorphism-single strand conformation polymorphism(PCR-RFLP-SSCP) technology was performed to detect mutations of AS3MT gene intron 8 and exon 9 in genome DNA of the 79 cases and 110 controls.PCR products with abnormal band forms were further sequenced to find the types and sites of mutation.Chi-square test and multivariate Logistic analyses were conducted.Results The incidence of the 9149 base mutation(A→C) in AS3MT gene intron 8(AS3MT-9149) in case group(19.0％,15/79) was lower than that in control group (23.6％,26/110).The incidence of the codon 287 mutation(ATG→AT/CG) in AS3MT gene exon 9(AS3MT-287)in case group(10.1％,8/79) was lower than that in control group (11.8％,13/110).However,statistical analysis indicated no significant difference in both mutations between two groups[AS3MT-9149:odds ratio(OR) =0.59,95％ confidence interval(CI):0.26-1.31,P =0.195; AS3MT-287:OR =0.85,95％ CI:0.32-230,P =0.751].Conclusions There are no significant association between the genetic polymorphisms of AS3MT-9149,AS3MT-287 and the susceptibility to endemic arsenism.Similarly,due to small sample amount,we can not exclude the possibility that these gene polymorphisms are related to susceptibility to endemic arsenism.

Conus textile is a kind of highly toxic and abundantly existing conus in the South China Sea. The toxin from C.textile could act on sodium channels(δ-conotoxins)and calcium channels (ω-，ε-conotoxins), respectively. Their specific chemical structure and biological activity have attracted a lot of attention in recent years. This article briefly reviews their biochemical characteristics, isolation, gene cloning, biological and neuropharmacological activities, as well as their potential applications.

Objective To observe the effects of infrasound on rat myocardial cells and to study its underlying mechanism. Methods One hundred Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into a normal control group and a infrasound exposure group, composed of various subgroups subject to exposure to infrasound for 2 hours daily for 1 d,7 d,14 d,21 d,and 28 d, respectively. The ultra-microstructure and apoptosis of the rat myocardial cells were observed, and SOD and MDA were measured. Results After exposure to infrasound, significant ultra-microstructural impairment and increased apoptosis of the myocardial cells were observed in the infrasound exposure group as compared to those of the normal control group,(P

Iatrogenic gastrointestinal perforation is one of the severe adverse events of endoscopic therapeutic procedure. For acute iatrogenic perforation,management by endoscopic techniques is a simple and rapid modality to close the perforation with minimal invasiveness and avoiding the traditional surgical trauma. Endoclips,suture with special instruments,covered stents,degradable sheets combined with tissue adhesive,and combined endoscopic techniques such as snares combined with endoclips,are the major endoscopic therapeutic modalities for closure of iatrogenic gastrointestinal perforation. In this article,the current status and progress of endoscopic management for acute iatrogenic gastrointestinal perforation were reviewed.
