Objective To investigate the influence of acute hypervolemic hemodilution (AHH) on pharmacodaynamics of cisatracurium in patients undergoing general anesthesia. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 18-60 yr scheduled for major abdominal surgery under general anesthesia were randomly allocated into 2 groups (n = 30 each): control group and AHH group. Each group was further divided into 3 subgroups according to the initial dose of cisatracurium (30, 40, 50 μg/kg) . The radial artery and right internal jugular vein were cannulated. BP, HR, CVP, SpO_2, P_(ET) CO_2 and body temperature were continuously monitored. The response of left adductor pollicis muscle to TOF stimulation of ulna nerve was monitored using TOF- Watch~R SX (Organon). Both groups received 10 ml/kg multiple electrolyte solution (plasma-Lyte A) during induction of anesthesia. In group AHH 15 ml/kg 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 solution was infused via internal jugular vein over 30-40 min in addition to plasma-Lyte A. Five minutes after completion of plasma-Lyte A or HES, cisatracurium 30, 40 or SO fig/kg was injected iv in the respective subgroups. After the maximal T_1 block was achieved, the second dose was given to reach a total dose of 100 μg/kg. The onset time, duration of clinical action, total duration of action and recovery index were recorded. The doses for 50% , 90% and 95% T_1 depression (ED_(50), ED_(90), ED_(95)) were calculated by Probit method. Results The ED_(50), ED_(90), ED_(95) of cisatracurium were significantly higher in AHH group than in control group. The onset time of cisatracurium was significantly longer but clinical and total duration of action was significantly shorter in AHH group than in control group. There was no significant difference in recovery index between the two groups. Conclusion AHH can decrease the potency of cisatracurium.

Objective To establish a rabbit model of acute lung injury induced by one-lung ventilation (OLV) .Methods Sixteen New Zealand white rabbits weighing 2.3-2.7 kg were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=8 each):conventional tidal volume(VT) group (group Ⅰ) and high VT group (group Ⅱ).All the rabbits were tracheostomized and a tracheal tube was inserted into the right bronchus for right lung ventilation in the two groups. VT was set at 6 ml/kg in group Ⅰ and at 12 ml/kg in group Ⅱ and the other ventilatory parameters were the same in the two groups (FiO2 50% , RR 40 bpm, I∶E=1∶2). Immediately before OLV(T0) and at 1, 2 and 3 h of OLV (T1-3), peak airway pressure was measured and arterial blood samples were taken for blood gas analysis and oxygenation index (OI) was calculated. The animals were sacrificed at 3 h of OLV and lung tissues obtained for microscopic examination.The lung injury was scored. W/D lung weight ratio was calculated. Bron-choalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected for measurement of protein concentrations and neutrophil counts. Results The peak airway pressure was significantly higher at T1-3 in group Ⅱ and OI was significantly lower at T2,3 in the two groups than those at T0(P<0.05) .W/D lung weight ratio and lung injury scores of the right lung were significantly lower than those of the left lung in the two groups(P<0.05).The peak airway pressure was significantly higher at T1-3, OI was significantly lower at T3, and W/D lung weight ratio, protein concentrations and neutrophil counts in BALF and lung injury scores of the right lung were significantly higher in group Ⅱ than in group Ⅰ(P<0.05). Conclusion OLV with VT of 12 ml/kg for 3 h can successfully establish a rabbit model of acute lung injury.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the necessity of developing therapeutic drug monitoring of vancomycin in our hospital and its existing problems,and provide a reasonable basis for the clinical rational use of vancomycin. METHODS:The cross-sectional survey was designed to collect the clinical data of 92 patients with therapeutic drug monitoring of vancomycin and statistically ana-lyze 192 cases of plasma concentration monitoring data. RESULTS:The average plasma trough concentration was (15.96 ± 8.06) mg/L;with the increase of age,the plasma trough concentration was increasing,there was no significant difference in the plasma trough concentration among different age groups (P=0.000);there were only 13 cases (6.77%) that obtained the plasma trough concentration within 30 min before the fourth dose;after using wancomycin,clearance rates of Cr and the endogenous creatinine were slightly higher than before,but there was no significant difference(P=0.722);36 cases(39.13%)showed vancomycin sus-ceptible gram positive cocci;after using wancomycin,the body temperature,white blood cell count and neutrophil percentage were lower than before,the differences were statistically significant (P=0.006,P=0.000,P=0.000);48 cases (52.17%) in treatment received initial loading dose,and only 15 cases (16.30%) did not use in combination with other anti infective drugs. CONCLU-SIONS:The results showed there are still a lot of problems in the treatment of vancomycin in our hospital,for example,the stan-dard rate of the plasma trough concentration is about 50%;most of the time of blood sampling is not reasonable;the detection rate of the pathogen is low;only about half of the cases are given the loading dose,etc. Therefore clinical pharmacists’intervention for blood sampling is an important part to promote rational drug therapy monitoring. Meanwhile,data interpretation of the monitoring results of serum drug concentration of vancomycin is a basic method for clinical pharmacists in clinical monitoring to correct the un-reasonable operations,and also the necessary measures for preventing the drug renal toxicity,it is a very important significance for the medication safety and effectiveness especially in severe infection patients,the elderly,the children and the people with renal function insufficiency.

Objective To investigate the risk of postpartum haemorrhage in HBV-infected pregnant women. Methods Cohort or case-control studies that discussed the relationship between hepatitis b virus infection and pregnancy outcome were searched in PubMed , EMBASE , Wiley Online Library , Cochrane Library , Google Scholar, CBM, WanFang database and CNKI etc. (till August 2015). The quality of included Cohort or case-control studies was evaluated , and Meta-analysis was performed with Rev Man5.2 software. Results Four observational case-control studies and 17 cohort studies , involving 19 549 women in observation , were identifled. Meta-Analysis results displayed that the incidence of postpartum haemorrhage in HBV-infected women was 9.3%, while 2.8% in women without HBV [RR = 2.97, 95% CI (2.25 ~ 3.92),P < 0.01]. Compared with normal-risk women , the incidence of postpartum haemorrhage of HBV-infected women with normal hepatic function was also higher [RR = 2.56, 95% CI (2.01 ~ 3.25),P < 0.01]. HBV-infected women with hepatic dysfunction had higher incidence of postpartum haemorrhage than those with normal hepatic function [RR = 2.67, 95% CI (2.17~ 3.28),P < 0.01]. Conclusions HBV-infected women are at higher risk of postpartum haemorrhage than normal pregnancy women and further hepatic dysfunction would lead to a continuing increase of the risk.
