Objective To observe and contrast the effects of dexmedetomidine and ketamine on the restlessness and analgesia during recovery period of anesthesia after tonsillectomy in children. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ child patients underwent tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy were randomly divided into three groups, group P (appropriate amount of placebo was given in the operation), group D (dexmedetomidine) and group K (ketamine). Data of mean arterial pressure and heart rate of three groups were documented before anesthesia (T0), during extubation (T1), 5 min (T2), 10 min (T3), 15 min (T4) and 30 min (T5) after extubation were recorded. The analepsia time, adverse reactions, restlessness score and pain score were collected in three groups of patients. Results Compared with group P, values of mean arterial pressure and heart rate were more stable at T1, T2 and T3 in groups D and K (P<0.05). The restlessness score, incidence of restlessness and adverse reactions were lower in groups D and K than those in group P (P<0.05), and which were lower in group D than those of group K (P<0.05). Conclusion Both dexmedetomidine and ketamine can play an analgesic role in recovery period of anesthesia and reduce restlessness, adverse reactions and pain score in child patients. Moreover, dexmedetomidine is more effective on inhibiting restlessness and adverse reactions.

Objective To study the clinical application of finger reconstruction by transplantation of two second toes and evaluate the postoperative appearance and function regarding the reconstructed hand and donor feet. Methods Defect of fingers were treated by transplantation and reconstruction with a total of 74 cases,including two second toes transplantation for both thumbs in 2 cases,thumb with index finger in 10 cas es, index finger with middle finger in 8 cases and middle finger with ring finger in 17 cases. Results Sevetythree fingers survived except 1 failed. During the follow up examination made from 3 to 36 months, the reconstructed fingers could move, write and dress with ease, pinch forcefully, show good recovery of manual work and the sensation of pain and warmth. Two-point discrimination found to be between 5 to 10 mm. Both donor feet have symmetrical appearance with normal gait and satisfactory motion. Also, no pain was complained.Conclusion Transplantation of two second toes from both feet is a good method to reconstruct defect of multiple fingers, and has little effect on the appearance and motion of feet.

AIM: To investigate the effect of enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) gene transfection on the cell cycle distribution of primary cultured human chondrocytes in order to establish a tracking method of cultured human nasoseptal chondrocytes. METHODS: pEGFP-N1 plasmid was amplified in E.coli, and purified by high purity kit. Primary cultured human chondrocytes,which were initially obtained from the nasoseptal cartilage, were cultured in vitro and transferred with pEGFP-N1 by means of electroporation with Amaxa nucleofector device. Transfering process and transient expression were evaluated by laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM), the transfer efficiency and the cell cycle distribution were evaluated by flow cytometry. RESULTS: There was significant expression of EGFP at 24 h after transferring. The transfection efficiency of pEGFP-N1 into primary cultured human chondrocytes reached 35 37% at 48 h. It didn't affect the process of cell adherance and had no effect on the cell cycle distribution. CONCLUSION: Primary cultured human chondrocytes, which were transfected with pEGFP, are alive in vitro, and the transferring process doesn't affect the cell cycle distribution. These results suggest that pEGFP-N1 is an ideal transient expression vector for primary cultured human chondrocytes and it might be a well tracer in construction tissue engineered cartilage.
