Objective To evaluate the efficacy of regional cerebral oxygen saturation(rSO2) combined with neuroelectrophysiological monitoring in guiding intraoperative blood pressure management in elderly patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy. Methods Thirty patients of both sexes, aged 65-80 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅡorⅢ, scheduled for elective carotid endar-terectomy, were divided into 2 groups(n=15 each)using a random number table: control group(group C)and rSO2combined with neuroelectrophysiological monitoring group(group M). During occlusion of carotid artery, the vasoactive drugs were used to make systolic blood pressure(SBP)increase by 20%-30% of the baseline value in group C and to make rSO2not less than 20% of the baseline value, the ampli-tude of somatosensory evoked potential P40 not less than 50% of the baseline value and the amplitude of e-lectroencephalogram voltage not less than 50% in group M. SBP and rSO2were recorded immediately after intubation(T1), at 5 min after anesthesia induction(T2), at 5 min after blocking the carotid artery (T3), at 5 min after opening the carotid artery(T4)and immediately after extubation(T5). Decrease in rSO2≥20% of the baseline value was recorded. The carotid artery occlusion time, myocardial oxygen con-sumption and consumption of vasoactive drugs during occlusion were recorded. Results Compared with group C, SBP was significantly decreased at T3, and the consumption of vasoactive drugs and myocardial oxygen consumption were reduced in group M(P<0.05), and no significant change was found in rSO2at each time point in group M(P>0.05). Decrease in rSO2≥20% of the baseline value was not found in two groups. Conclusion rSO2combined with neuroelectrophysiological monitoring provides guidance for intra-operative blood pressure management in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.

Objective To explore the optimal ratio of Baitong decoction based on efficacy,clarify its spectrum-effect relationship,and identify its potential quality markers.Methods An ulcerative colitis(UC)model in mice was established using dextran sulfate sodium.The efficacy of Baitong decoction with varying drug ratios was assessed by evaluating the apparent score,pathological score and inflammatory factor changes of UC in each group of experimental animals.The fingerprints of Baitong decoction with different ratios were established by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC),and the relationship between the content of each substance and its efficacy was analyzed by partial least squares regression to determine the potential quality markers of Baitong decoction.Results Baitong decoction was most effective in relieving ulcerative colitis when the mass ratio of Fuzi,Ganjiang and Congbai was 1∶2∶2.The fingerprinting identified 14 common peaks across 7 ratios,with 9 peaks were found to be associated with the remission of ulcerative colitis by partial least squares regression analysis.Conclusion The optimal ratio of Fuzi,Ganjiang and Congbai for treating UC is 1∶2∶2.The spectrum-effect relationship analysis suggested that the quality markers of Baitong decoction may be the substances represented by peak 2(benzoylaconine),3,5,6,8(mesaconine),9(aconitine),10(hypaconitine),13(10-gingerol)and 14.
