Objective To explore the safety and feasibility of controlled hypotension with urapidil and nitroglycerin esmolol-three drugs combination in endoscopic surgery. Methods Forty patients who were received endoscopic surgeries were randomly divided into two groups, 20 cases in each group, urapidil-esmolol-nitroglycerin controlled hypotension group (A group) and non controlled hypotension group (B group). Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate (HR) were recorded at the following points: before anesthesia (basal, T1), immediate before surgery (T2), 30 minutes after the start of surgery (T3), end of the operation (T4), 10 minutes after the end of surgery (T5). We recorded blood loss, operative time, transfusion volume, urine. At last the parameters were compared between the two groups. Results The difference of SBP, DBP, MAP at the points of T2, T3, T4 in the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05) comparing with the control group (group B). The vital signs of patients during anesthesia in A group had more stable than that of the B group , and the operation time of the A group was significantly shorter than that of the B group. Meanwhile, the blood loss in A group was significantly decreased(P < 0.05). Conclusion It has synergistic antihypertensive effect, and can reduce both side effects and the risk of anesthesia and surgery for us to use urapidil-esmolol-nitroglycerin three antihypertensive drugs in combination. It is a safe and reliable method for clinical application.

Background Transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) plays an important role in corneal woundhealing.The effects of TGF-β1 on the synthesis of extra cellular matrix (ECM) vary upon different concentrations.Previous studies focused on the effects of high concentration of TGF-β1 on keratocytes under the two-dimensional culture condition,and the effect of low concentration of TGF-β1 on the synthesis of ECM in keratocytes remains unclear.Objective This study was to investigate the growth of Pellet,a three-dimensional model of corneal stroma cells in vitro,and its ECM synthesis under a low concentration of TGF-β1.Methods Bovine corneal stromal cells were isolated from fresh bovine eyeballs by two-step digestion by collagenase and cultured using DMEM/F12 medium with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS).Pellets derived fresh bovine keratocytes with culture medium containing 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS and 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS were established,respectively.The morphology of Pellets was observed under the natural light at 48 hours,1 week,2 weeks and 3 weeks after culture.In 3 weeks after culture,the cell structures was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining,and Calcein-AM/propidium (Calcein-AM/PI) staining was used to assay the cell viability.Real-time flurorescence quantitative PCR and immunofluorescence technology were applied to analyze the expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),fibronectin (FN),type Ⅰ collagen (Col Ⅰ) and type Ⅲ collagen (Col Ⅲ) mRNA and proteins.RT-PCR was employed to detect the expressions of lumican (LUM) mRNA and keratocan (KERA) mRNA in the cells.Results Cells in Pellet clustered throughout the culture duration.Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed the mass red-dyed collagen fibers in both 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group and 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group,and most cells possessed complete structures.The death rate of the cells was (33.60±1.65)% in the 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group and (30.90±0.78) % in the 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group,showing an insignificant difference between them (t =0.144,P=0.887).The expressions of α-SMA,FN and Col Ⅲ proteins in 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group were lower than those in the 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 + 5 % FBS group (tα-SMA =4.622,P =0.010;tFN =2.973,P =0.040;tCol Ⅲ =7.845,P<0.001),but the expression of Col Ⅰ in 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group was higher than that in 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1+5% FBS group (tColⅠ =4.022,P=0.016).The ratio of Col Ⅲ/Col Ⅰ in 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1+5% FBS group was lower than that in the 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group in both mRNA and protein level (tmRNA =-3.039,P =0.038;tprotein =3.215,P =0.032).The expression of LUM mRNA and KERA mRNA were detected in Pellet at different time points.The expression of LUM mRNA in 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group increased over time.While in 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group,the expression of LUM mRNA peaked at 1 week but declined at 2 weeks.The expression of KERA mRNA in two groups were all peaked at 1 week but declined at 2 weeks.Conclusions Low-dose TGF-β1 in Pellet can maintain the normal growth of keratocytes and synthesize ECM.The expression of ECM tends to the normal condition after reducing the concentration of TGF-β1,implying a scarless expression.
