Objective To investigate the effects of different body temperatures on the neuromuscular block induced by different doses of cisatracurium in rabbits. Methods Seventy-two healthy New Zealand white rabbits of both sexes weighing 2.0-2.2 kg were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=24 each): hypothermia group (L), normothermia group (N) and hyperthermia group (H). The rectal temperature was set at 34.5℃, 38.5℃ and 41.8℃ in group L, N and H respectively. Each group was further divided into 4 subgroups (n=6 each) receiving intravenous cisatracurinm 0.33, 0.66, 0.99 and 1.32 mg/kg respectively after rectal temperature was stabilized for 20 min. The animals were anesthetized with iv 20% methane 1 g/kg, tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated (VT 12 ml/kg, RR 60 bpm, I:E = 1:2;FiO2 100% ). TOF was monitored. The onset time, the duration of action (from the end of cisatracurium injection to the recovery of T1 to 5%, 25% and 95% of control height) and recovery index (recovery of T1 from 25% to 75% of control height) were recorded. MAP, HR and rectal temperature were recorded at 5 min before alteration of the body temperature, at 2 min before and 5, 10, 30, 60 and 90 min after administration of cisatracurium. Results (1) With the same dose of cisatracurium the onset time and duration of action were significantly shorter in group H, longer in group L and recovery from N-M block faster in group H, slower in group L as compared with group N. (2) At the same body temperature the onset time was significantly shortened and the duration of action and recovery were significantly prolonged as the dose of cisatracurium increased. (3) There was significant difference in the effect of interaction between different doses of cisatracurium and different temperatures on the onset time. (4) With the same dose of cisatracurium MAP was significantly decreased in group H, increased in group L, while HR was significantly increased in group H, decreased in group L. Conclusion The neuromuscular blocking effect of cisatracurium is decreased when the body temperature is increased and vice versa. The neuromuscular blocking effect of cisatracurium (0.33-1.32 mg/kg) is dose-dependent at the same body temperature. There is interaction between the two factors.

Although young anesthetists demonstrate the excellent characteristics of agile thought , strong manipulative ability and are ready to receive challenge, they are short of teamwork cooperation spir-it. Clinical anesthesia knowledge and skill can be improved and teamwork cooperation spirit can be culti-vated through correcting attitude , modest learning , implementing tutor system among young doctors , strengthening the understanding of team spirit , cultivating interpersonal communication ability and orga-nizing regular learning discussions.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of cardioplegic solution containing different concentrations of Shenfu injectio on isolated rabbit heart against ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)injury.Methods Forty adult long-ear white rabbits weighing 3.8-4.2 kg were anesthetized with intraperitoneal thiopental 40 mg?kg~(-1).Heparin 4 mg?kg~(-1) was injected Ⅳ.Hearts were immediately removed and mounted on a Langendorff apparatus and perfused via aorta with Krebs-Henseleit solution aerated at 37℃ with 95 % O_2 and 5 % CO_2.Forty isolated hearts were randomly divided into 5 groups(n=8 each):control group in which cardiac arrest was induced with St Thomas hyperkkaelemic cardioplegic solution and 4 Shenfu groups(SF)in which cardiac arrest was induced with St Thomas cardioplegic solution containing different concentrations of Shenfu injectio:1%(SF1), 5%(SF5),10%(SF10)and 15%(SF15).All hearts in the 5 groups were subjected to global ischemia for 45 min followed by 40 min reperfusion.Coronary effluent was collected after reperfusion for determination of CK-MB activity.Mitochondria were isolated arid Ca~(2+) and MDA content was measured.Myocardial ultrastructure was observed using electron microscope.Mitochondrial injury was assessed by using Flameng score and stereology(NA and ?).Results The CK-MB activity in coronary effluent,mitochondrial MDA and Ca~(2+) content and Flameng score were decreased and NA was increased in group SF1,SF5 and SF10 as compared with control group(P＜ 0.05 or 0.01).The ? of mitochondria was increased in group SF5 and SF10 as compared with control group(P＜ 0.01).The CK-MB activity and Ca~(2+) content were increased and MDA content was decreased in group SF15 as compared with control group(P＜0.05).The pathological damage to myocardium was significantly less in group SF5 and SF10 than in control group.Conclusion Shenfu injectio added to St Thomas cardioplegic solution at concentration of 5%～10% can protect myocardial mitochondria against I/R injury.

A morphologic and immunohistochemical studies were performed on the thyroid tissue of 13 thyrotoxicosis with thyroiditis(TTOT) and 9 hashimotoxocosis(HSHT). We found that the inflmmatory injure in HSHT was stronger than that in TTOT, and also, there were (?)ore infiltrating cells and activated T cells in HSHT (?) that in TTOT. Nevertheless, in both HSHT and TTOT, most of the infiltrating mononclear cells were T lymphocytes, and the proportion of T cell subsets, B lymphocytes and macrophages were almost the same, suggesting there might. be similar immunopathogencsis in these two diseases.

Objective To evaluate the role of myosin light chain kinase(MLCK)in the increase in the permeability of human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells(HPMVECs)induced by mechanical stretch.Methods HPMVECs were cultured in vitro and then randomly divided into 3 groups(n = 4 each): mechanical stretch group(group S),ML9 treatment group(group M)and control group(group C).In group S,the monolayer cells and magnetic beads coated with an RGD peptide were incubated in serum-free MCDB131 medium for 2 h,the unbound beads were washed out,and then the cells were exposed to magnetic twisting stimulation(MTS)for 2 h(frequency 3 Hz,intensity 4.2 mT).In group M,the monolayer cells and magnetic beads coated with an RGD peptide were incubated for 2 h in serum-free MCDB131 medium in which MLCK inhibitor ML9(50μmol/L)was added,and the other procedures were the same as in group S.In group C,the cells after washing as in group S were incubated for 2 h without exposing to MTS.Monolayer permeability was detected with FITC-dextran flux in transwell model.The distribution of integrin αVβ3 and actin was detected using the immunofluorescence assay.Results Compared with group C,the permeability of HPMVECs was significantly increased in group S,while no significant change was found in group M.Compared with group S,the permeability of HPMVECs was significantly decreased in group M.In addition,actin polymerized to form stress fiber,and integrin αVβ3 clustered at the end of stress fiber in group S,while actin mainly distributed in the surrounding area of the cell membrane and integrin αVβ3 evenly distributed on the cell surface in group C and M.Conclusion The mechanism by which mechanical stretch induces the increase in the permeability of HPMVECs is related to MLCK activation-mediated stress fiber formation and integrin αVβ3 clustering.
