Objective To investigate the pharmacodynamics of sufentanil required to inhibit the body movement induced by tetanic stimulation and skin incision when combined with propofol in patients undergoing thoracic or abdominal surgery. Methods Fifty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 18-57 yr undergoing elective thoracic or abdominal surgery were randomized into 5 groups sufentanil target effect-site concentration (Ce) (n = 10 each):0.07, 0.10, 0.14, 0.20 and 0.28 ng/ml groups. Anesthesia was induced with TCI of propofol at the target plasma concentration of 3.0-3.2 μg/ml. As soon as the patients lost consciousness, infusion of sufentanil with the corresponding Ce was started in the each group. One tetanic stimulus (frequency 50 Hz, intensity 80 mA, wave length 0.25 ms) was given after the target effect-site and plasma concentrations were balanced. Tracheal intubation was facilitated with succinylcholine 1.5 mg/kg. The concentrations of propofol and sufentanil were maintained until 4 min after skin incision. The body movement was observed during tetanic stimulation and skin incision. The effective effect-site concentration (EC50, EC94) of sufentanil and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using probit regression analysis. Results The EC50 and EC95 of sufentanil required to inhibit the body movement induced by tetanic stimulation when combined with propofol were 0.12 (95% CI 0.09-0.14) ng/ml and 0.20 (95% CI 0.17-0.31) ng/ml respectively. The EC50 and EC95 of sufentanil required to inhibit the body movement induced by skin incision when combined with propofol were 0.13 (95% CI 0.11-0.16) ng/ml and 0.21 (95% CI 0.17-0.29) ng/ml respectively. There was no significant difference in the EC50 and EC95 of sufentanil between the two different stimuli (P > 0.05). Conclusion The EC50 and EC95 of sufentanil required to inhibit the body movement induced by tetanic stimulation (frequency 50 Hz, intensity 80 mA, wave length 0.25 ms) when combined with propofol were 0.12 and 0.20 ng/ml respectively, the EC50 and EC95 of sufentanil required to inhibit the body movement induced by skin incision when combined with propofol were 0.13 and 0.21 ng/ml respectively and there was no significant difference in the pharmacodynamics between the two different stimuli, indicating that tetanic stimulation as an alternative to skin incision can be used to evaluate the pharmacodynamics of anesthetics.

To discuss the influence of dexamethasion on lL-1β and TNF - α expression in suture - induced rabbit corneal neovascularization ( CNV ) and analyze the potential mechanism.
●METHODS: For 43 healthy rabbits, 40 were randomly selected for establishing CNV model in corneal stroma. The right eyes (group A) were received no medicine and the left eyes ( group B) were injected dexamethasone after successfully establishing the model. The no modeling 3 rabbits were normal control group. The morphologic change of corneal was observed with slit lamp microscope and the areas of CNV was calculated every day, then 8 rabbits were randomly chosen for sacrificing at 1, 4, 7, 14, 21d respectively. The pathological characteristics of CNV were observed after HE staining, and lL - 1β and TNF - α expression was detected by immunohistochemistry.
●RESULTS: CNV was grown at the 4d after suture, and the 7-14d was vigorous growth period. inflammatory cell infiltration appeared after HE staining, and CNV was located at the superficial stroma of cornea. lmmunohistochemistry results showed that lL - 1β and TNF - α expression was gradually increased with prolonged suture time. Compared with corneal stitch group, the rabbits cured by dexamethasone were found with less inflammatory cells infiltrating and neovescularization, moreover, the expression of lL - 1βand TNF-α decreased. There were statistical significance between the two groups (P<0. 05).
● CONCLUSlON: Dexamethasone can inhibit the CNV growth by controlling the inflammation of corneal and restraining lL-1β and TNF-α expression.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the placement of a long tube into the small intestine under fluoroscopic guidance and to evaluate its decompression effect on early postoperative small bowel obstruction (EPSBO).
METHODSFifty-four patients with EPSBO requiring decompression between April 2010 and July 2014 were enrolled in the study. Insertion of a long tube was guided by fluoroscopy. We first used the guide wire to pass the pylorus and then used the 10 Fr feeding tube as an exchangeable tube to put the superstiff wire into the duodenum. Finally the long tube could be passed over the guide wire through the pylorus into the intestine. The total procedure time, the radiation exposure time, and the incidence of complications were evaluated.
RESULTSThe long tubes passed into the jejunum on initial insertion for all patients, so the success rate of this technique was 100%. The long tube was inserted into ileum in 18 patients. The mean total procedure time was 34.4 ± 8.6 minutes, and the mean radiation exposure time 18.9 ± 6.8 minutes. A total of 47 patients (87%) experienced full recovery following long-tube decompression and without the need for surgical intervention.
CONCLUSIONSUsing the wire-exchange technique, it is easy to place a long tube into the small bowel under fluoroscopic guidance. This decompression method is safe and effective for management of EPSBO.
