Objective To compare the hemodynamics and respiratory mechanics between flexible reinforced laryngeal mask airway (FRLMA) and tracheal intubation (TI) in functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Methods Forty-six patients (ASA) scheduled for selective functional endoscopic sinus surgery under general anesthesia were allocated randomly to either flexible reinforced laryngeal mask airway group (FRLMA, n=23) or tracheal intubation group (TI, n=23) with mechanical ventilation. MAP and HR were recorded before anesthesia induction, before intubation, after intubation immediately, before extubation and after extubation immediately. Parameters for respiratory mechanics included peak inspiratory pressure (PIP), plateau airway pressure (P_(plateau)), mean airway pressure (P_(mean)), positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP), peak inspiratory flow (FI_(max)), peak expiratory flow (FE_(max)), and end tidal CO_2 (P_(Et)CO_2). All of the above indicators were recorded 5, 10 and 15 minutes after intubation. Meanwhile, arterial gas analysis was examined. Complications such as aspiration, coughing, pharyngeal pain, hoarseness, muscular soreness and unseal of FRLMA were followed up 24 hours after extubation. Results MAP and HR were significantly higher in group TI than those in group FRLMA after intubation and extubation (P<0.05). PIP, P_(plateau), P_(mean) and VD/VT were significantly higher in group TI than those in group FRLMA (P<0.05). Complications such as coughing, pharyngeal pain and muscular soreness were significantly lower in FRLMA group than that in TI group (P<0.05). Conclusions The application of FRLMA on functional endoscopic sinus surgery is a simply handling method, with minor laryngeal stimulation during intubation and extubation, more stable hemodynamics, reliable respiratory mechanics and low incidence of postoperative upper airway complications.

Insulin sensitivity index (SI).glucose effectiveness (SG) and insulin secretion function were assessed by modified minimal model method (MMM) with frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance (FSIGT) test in the controls, in patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and type II diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). There was significant correlation between modified MMM and standard MMM in evaluating SI and SG. The results indicated that SI and SG were significantly elevated in the control than in the IGT and NTDDM groups. SI diminished much more in IGT group than in NIDDM group (P

Objective To explore the value of serum level of interleukin 6 (IL-6),tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and high mobility group box-1 protein( HMGB1) in early assessment the severity and prognosis of acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods Thirty-three severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) patients and 38 mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) patients were selected as study objects;and 51healthy individuals were set as control group. Serum IL-6,TNF-α and HMGB1 concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),the association of them and the scores of Ranson,APACHE Ⅱ . Balthazar CT,serum biochemical parameters and prognosis was analyzed.Results The serum IL-6 levels of SAP group,MAP group and healthy control group were (553. 72±175.76) pg/ml,(265. 73±179. 95) pg/ml and (16. 43±3. 32) pg/ml;and there were statistical significance of these three groups (all P＜0. 01). There was no significant difference of TNF-α in the three groups (all P＞0. 05). The serum HMGB1 levels of SAP group,MAP group and healthy control group were (11. 48±6. 94)μg/L,(6. 13±5. 80)μg/L and (1. 82±0. 64)μg/L respectively,and there were statistical significant of these three groups (all P＜0. 05). The correlation coefficient of serum HMGB1 with IL-6 and TNF-α were 0. 896 and 0. 724 (P＜0. 01) respectively. The IL-6 level was positively correlated with the scores of Ranson,APACHE Ⅱ and Balthazar CT. The TNF-αconcentration was positively correlated with APACHE Ⅱ score,and the HMGB1 concentration positively correlated with scores of Ranson and Balthazar CT. The levels of IL-6,TNF-α and HMGB1were all positively correlated with the serum creatinine concentration. The IL-6 levels of patients with local and/or systemic complications were significantly higher than those without complications.Conclusion The serum levels of IL-6,TNF-α and HMGB1 are significantly correlated with the severity of pancreatitis,all of them take part in the development of acute renal insufficiency. The high level of serum IL-6 significantly correlated with complications.

AIM: To investigate the electrophysiological changes of diabetic myocardium and effects of cyclovirobuxine D (CVB-D) on its electrophysiology. METHODS: Diabetes was induced in male SD rats, using a single injection of alloxan into tail vein. Untreated age-matched animals were used as controls. Animal electrocardiogram (ECG) was recorded by 2 weeks. Effects of CVB-D on isolated right ventricular papillary muscle from experimental diabetic rats and control group were observed by recording the transmembrane potentials with conventional glass microelectrodes. RESULTS: QT intervals in ECG and action potential duration (APD) at all levels were significantly lengthened in myocardium from week 2 of diabetes. Within the concentration of 13.3-63.3 ?mol?L~(-1), CVB-D prologated APD of diabetes in dose-dependent manner and more than that of control. Within the concentration of 33.3-63.3 ?mol?L~(-1), CVB-D depressed RP, APA, V_(max) and OS of diabetes in dose-dependent way and more than that of control. In addition, CVB-D at concentration of 20 ?mol?L~(-1) prologated APD in a time-dependent manner. The most prologation of APD was attained about 40 min in control, while more than 40 min in diabetes. CONCLUSION: The results show that QT intervals in ECG and APD at all levels are significantly lengthened in myocardium from week 2 of diabetes. CVB-D prolongates APD and inhibits RP, APA, OS and V_(max) more in diabetes than in control.

Objective:To demonstrate the feasibility of the osteosarcoma devitalization method by vacuum dehydration at room tem-perature. Methods:For the in vivo study, the VX2 tumor mass was treated by vacuum dehydration, rehydrated in ice water, and im-planted in the rabbit to determine the safety time to deactivate the tumor. For the in vitro study, the osteosarcoma mass was devital-ized by vacuum dehydration, and the dehydration rate and ATPase activity were determined. Histopathological changes in the tumor were also observed. The change in the biomechanical strength of rabbit bone and tendon after vacuum devitalization treatment was detected. Results:At room temperature, the safety time to deactivate the VX2 tumor was 60 min, and the dehydration rate was 93.8%at this time point. After vacuum dehydration, the tumor mass evidently shrunk, presenting a porous structure. The osteosarcoma cell became small, and cell structure damage was observed under light microscope. Disrupted cell membrane and organelles were seen un-der transmission electron microscope as well as broken down chromosomes. The activity of ATPase was evidently lower than in the control group. The strength of bone and tendon did not decrease significantly after vacuum dehydration. Conclusion:Treatment by vacuum dehydration at room temperature for 60 min does not result in differences of the bone and tendon strength. However, it can inactivate both soft tissue and bone tumor mass completely.
