Objective To observe the influence of intravenous anesthesia with ketamine or propofol on intraocular pressure (IOP) in pediatric patients. Methods 27 pediatric patients, ASA grade Ⅰ~Ⅱ, were divided into ketamine and propofol groups. Basic anesthesia was conducted with ketamine 4~6 mg*kg-1 combined droperidol 0.04~0.1 mg*kg-1 intramuscularly. Anesthesia maintained with continous infusion of 0.04% ketamine or 0.04% propofol following intravenous bolus of ketamine 1 mg*kg-1 or propofol 1 mg*kg-1 in ketamine group and propofol group respectively. IOP, systemic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), heart rate(HR) and pulse oxygen saturation(SpO2) were measured at 10 minutes after basic anesthesia, 3 minutes after intravenous bolus of ketamine or propofol and end of surgery. Results There were no differences in IOP between two groups after basic anesthesia. IOP increased or decreased significantly after intravenous bolus of ketamine or propofol respectively. IOP in ketamine group decreased near to the level in propofol group at end of surgery. There were no statistic differences in SBP, DBP and HR between two groups priopration. SpO2 did not change (but in one patient decreasing to below 95% ) and significantly decreased within 5 minutes of intravenous bolus of ketamine and propofol respectively. Conclusion Ketamine increases IOP propofol decreases IOP. Ketamine combined propofol can keep from increase of IOP but strength respiration inhibition.

ObjectiveTo summarize the ultrasonic features of endometrial carcinoma in transvaginal color Doppler sonography (TVCDS), and to analyze the supplementary function of serum CA125and CA199in diagnosing endometrial carcinoma.MethodsFrom January 2006 to October 2012, fourteen thousand and twenty-seven women underwent TVCDS in GZ Women & Children Medical Centre, serum CA125 and CA199 were determined by chemiluminescence immunoassay. The ultrasound characteristics of 131 cases of endometrial carcinoma (including 64 cases of early-stage and 67 cases of advanced endometrial carcinoma) who were accurately diagnosed by pathology and the value of serum CA125 and CA199 were analyzed.ResultsIn groups 131 patients were accurately conifrmed by pathology, including 64 cases early-stage and 67 cases advanced carcinoma. The diagnositic coincidence of ultrasound and ultrasound combined with serum tumor markers was 56.3% (36/64) and 78.1% (50/64) respectively. On ultrasonography, 64 patients with early stage endometrial carcinoma showed uterine enlargement in 38 cases and endometrial thickening in 53 cases. In 9 cases, endometrial lesions were heterogeneously hypoechoic. In 55 cases, the halo between endometrium and muscle was interrupted and disappeared. In 56 cases, endometrial lesions had muscular layer inifltration. In 13 cases, endometrial lesions had cervical inifltration. In 61 cases, sparse punctuate or reticular flow signals were detected within lesions. In 3 cases, there was no blood flow signal in lesions. All these patients had not lymph node metastasis. Sixty-seven cases with advanced endometrial carcinoma showed more obviously uterine enlargement and significant endometrial thickening. In 61 patients, tumor spread outside the uterus. Reticular or dendritic flow signals were detected in 67 cases lesions. There were hypoechoic lymph node mestastasis in 53 cases. In 31 cases of early stage endometrial carcinoma, preoperative CA125 increased. In 27 cases of early stage endometrial carcinoma, preoperative CA199 increased. In 24 cases CA125 and CA199 increased meanwhile. In 61 cases of advanced endometrial carcinoma, preoperative CA125 increased. In 59 cases of advanced endometrial carcinoma, preoperative CA199 increased. In 56 cases CA125 and CA199 increased meanwhile. Sixty-four cases of early-stage endometrial carcinoma were diagnosed by TVCDS assisted with CA125 and CA199 and were confirmed by pathology. The detective rate was 78.1% (50/64). To compared with TVCDS, the difference was statistical signiifcance (χ2=6.95,P=0.01).ConclusionsThe ultrasonic features of early-stage endometrial carcinoma in TVCDS were uterine enlargement, endometrial thickening, heterogeneous hypoechoic endometrial lesions, interrupted or disappeared hypoechoic halo between endometrium and musclar layer, and sparse punctuate or reticular flow signals within lesions. Serum CA125 and CA199 may be helpful in improving diagnosis coincidence rate when early-stage endometrial cancer is ifnd or suspected on ultrasonography.
