Objective To compare the efficacy of laryngeal mask airway Supreme (LMAS) and Streamlined Liner of the pharynx Airway (SLIPA) in patients undergoing general anesthesia. Methods Eighty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 18-70 yr weighing 45-80 kg undergoing general anesthesia were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 40 each): group LMAS and group SLIPA. Pharyngeal airway was inserted after induction of anesthesia with fentanyl 3μg/kg and propofol 2.0-2.5 mg/kg. MAP, HR, number of insertion, rate of successful placement at first attempt, placement time, airway sealing pressure, peak and mean airway pressure and side effects were recorded. Results There were no significant differences in MAP, HR and rate of successful placement at first attempt between the two groups. The placement time was significantly longer, the airway sealing pressure lower and the incidence of side effects higher in SLIPA group than in LMAS group. There was no significant difference in the peak and mean airway pressure between the 2 groups. Conclusion Both LMAS and SLIPA can assure good airway sealing and adequate ventilation. The complication is rare. The efficacy of LMAS is better.

Objective To investigate the influence of different carbon dioxide (CO2) absorbents (Dr(a)gersorb 800 plus , Sodasorb,Sodasorb LF) on the production of compound A during low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia.Methods Twenty-seven ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 20-64 years were randomly assigned to three groups according to different CO2 absorbents: Dr(a)gersorb 800 plus' group (group D, n = 10), Sodasorb group (group S, n = 10) and Sodasorb LF group (group LF, n = 7). Anesthesia was maintained with low-flow (500 ml/min) sevoflurane inhalation (with the end-tidal sevoflurane concentration of approximately 2% ). At 2 h after low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia, gas samples were taken from the expiratory limb of the circuit. Compound A was detected by gas chromatography. Serum alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), bilirubin (BR), urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) levels were measured before (T0 ) and 24 h after operation (T1).Results The three groups were comparable with respect to age, body weight and height. After 2 h of low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia, compound A concentrations in the expiratory limb of the circuit were 11.6 ± 5.8 (group D), 2.1 ± 1.9 (group S)and < 0.1 ppm (group LF), respectively. There were no significant changes in the serum ALT, AST, BR, BUN and Cr levels at 24 h after operation as compared with the preoperative baseline values in the three groups.Conclusion After 2 h of low-flow (500 ml/min) sevoflurane anesthesia, compound A concentrations within the circuit with different CO2 absorbents ( Dr(a)gersorb 800 plus' , Sodasorb, Sodasorb LF) are less than 50 ppm, with the lowest in Sodasorb LF.However, they have no significant effects on hepatic or renal function.

Objective To assess the efficacy of laryngeal mask airway Proseal (LMA Proseal) and Supreme (LMA Supreme) used in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery when the cuff-pressure was 35 cm H2O.Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 20-70 yr, weighing 50-80 kg, undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery, were randomized into2 groups (n = 30 each): LMA ProSeal group (group P) and LMA Supreme group (group S). After the LMA Proseal and LMA Supreme were inserted in group P and S respectively, the cuff pressure was monitored and maintained at 35 cm H2O by manipulate manometer. The airway sealing pressure, peak and mean airway pressure before and after pneumoperitoneum during mechanical ventilation and the complications were also recorded. Results The peak airway pressure was significantly higher after pneumoperitoneum than before pneumoperitoneum during mechanical ventilation (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the peak airway pressure before and after pneumoperitoneum between the two groups ( P > 0.05). The air leakage had never happened before or after pneumoperitoneum during mechanical ventilation. There was no significant difference in the airway sealing pressure between the two groups ( P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of throat pain between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion When the cuff pressure is 35 cm H2O, the LMA ProSeal and Supreme can provide adequate ventilation during operation with fewer complications and can be used safely for laparoscopic surgery.

BACKGROUND:Studies have demonstrated that chitosan can indirectly promote the proliferation of fibroblast and the synthesis of collagen, Using chitosan and specific fibroblasts together to construct tissue-engineering materials for tendon repair may be an adequate way to promote healing and prevent adhesion during the healing process.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of water soluble chitosan (WSC) on the growth and genotype of 3T3TK fibroblasts.DESIGN: Controlled experiment based on observation.SETTING: Jiujiang University Medical College.MATERIALS: 3T3TK fibroblasts were provided by Cell Bank of Chinese Academy of Sciences. WSC (specification: 60 mesh, 30CPS, Jinan Haidebei Marine Bioengineering Co.,Ltd),DMEM (low sugar) (Gibco Company, USA), fetal bovine serum (FBS, Sijiqing Biological Engineering Institute, Hangzhou), penicillin, streptomycin (Biosharp Company, USA),trypsin (BioEev-Tech Scientific & Technical Co.,Ltd, Beijing).METHODS: This experiment was carried out in the Laboratory for Clinical Application of Biology, Center for Medial Scientific Research, Jiujiang University between November 2004 and April 2006. ①Cells in the log phase were digested with 2.5 g/L trypsin to produce single cell suspension and inoculated into a 96-well culture plate at a density of 6 000 cells /200 μL medium. Five groups were prepared, 5 holes per group. 200 μL cell suspension was added into each well.After 24 hours of cultivation, supernatant was discarded, 200 μL DMEM with 1, 0.1, 0.01 and 0.000 1 g/L chitosan was added respectively in the first four groups. The remaining group was taken as the negative control group, in which 200 μL DMEM medium without chitosan was added. The cell suspension was routinely cultured for 72 hours. The cell viability was measured by CellTilter- GloTM Luminescent Cell Viability Assay according to the manufacturer's protocol. Cells in the log phase were split and inoculated into 24-well culture plates. Four groups were prepared (5 holes per group). 1 mL DMEM medium supplemented with 1, 0.1, 0.01 g/L chitosan was added into the first 3 groups respectively, and the 4th group was set as control group. Hydroxyproline and alkaline phosphatase(ALP) kits were used for detecting the contents of collagen and ALP in the supernatant of fibroblasts.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES : ①Effect of WSC on viability of fibroblasts cultured in vitro.②Contents of collagen and ALP in the cell culture supernatant of fibroblasts.RESULTS:①Detection results of viability of fibroblasts: There were no significant differences in viability of fibroblasts between each chitosan group and control group (P > 0.05).②Contents of collagen and ALP in the cell culture supernatant of fibroblasts: Hydroxyproline content in the cell culture supernatant of fibroblasts of 1 g/L and 0.1 g/L groups was (7.598±0.770) and (8.366±0.308)mg/L, respectively, which was higher than that of control group [(11.269±0.707)mg/L,P < 0.01]; Collagen content in the 1 g/L and 0.1 g/L groups was(56.703±5.748) and(62.437±2.301)mg/L, respectively, which was lower than that of control group [(84.099±5.280)mg/L,P < 0.01]. With the concentration of chitosan increasing, the collagen content was decreased in a dose-dependent manner. There were no significant differences in ALP activity in the cell culture supernatant between each chitosan group and control group (P >0.05).CONCLUSION: WSC does not obviously inhibit the viability of 3T3TK fibroblasts, but can markedly reduce the content of secreted collagen. It is indicated that chitosan can be used as tissue engineering material for tendon repair, and inhibit adhesion formation during tendon repair.

BACKGROUND:Cervical single-door laminoplasty for chronic compressive myelopathy has obtained exact effects. To reduce the occurrence of related complications, different doctors have proposed different improvement programs, and have achieved a certain effect, but the effect on postoperative complications is not very wel. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of modified open-door laminoplasty with steel implantation and preservation of bilateral semispinalis. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 30 cases of multilevel cervical spondyiotic myelopathy who underwent modified open-door laminoplasty from October 2013 to March 2014. Internal fixation material was Centerpiece titanium plate fixation system. Visual Analogue Scale score, Japanese Orthopaedic Association score (17-score method), neck disability index, range of motion of cervical vertebra, and cervical curvature were compared before treatment and during folow-up. Axial symptom severity was assessed after treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The patients were followed up for 12-24 months. No complications appeared during repair, including postoperative spinal cord injury, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, infection or C5 nerve root palsy. Only one patient suffered from axial pain, but there was no need for oral medication. The improvement rate of Japanese Orthopaedic Association score was (76.96±17.61)%. Neck disability index decreased from 12.29±3.82 preoperatively to 8.24±2.86 in final follow-up. Range of motion of cervical vertebra (47.41±17.33)° in final follow-up, accounting for (93.0±4.2)% of preoperative data. Cervical curvature decreased from (13.47±10.54)° preoperatively to (12.88±8.56)° in final follow-up. These findings confirm that modified open-door laminoplasty with preservation of bilateral semispinalis can reserve cervical rear structure to maximum extent, is conducive to early functional exercise after rehabilitation, and reduces the incidence of axial symptoms and loss of cervical curvature.
