Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of intranasal different dose of dexmedetomidine for pediatric echocardiography sedation and to discuss the factors concerning recovery.Methods In a single-blinded randomized clinical trial,183 children were studied with a range of 2months and 33 months of age,and American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) physical status Ⅰ to Ⅱ.Those children were divided randomly into one of three groups.Groups D1,D2,and D3,which were received intranasal dexmedetomidine 1.0,1.5,and 2.0 μg/kg,respectively.The induction time,recovery time,examination time,and total sedation time were compared.The success rate of sedation and the occurrence of any side-effects with the drug were compared.Sex,age,weight,dose,induction time,and examination time were used as independent valuations,the recovery time was used as dependent valuation,and then the multiple linear regression analysis was performed to filtrate and formulate the valuable factors influencing recovery time.Results The induction time had no significantly difference among groups (P ＞ 0.05).The recovery time of group D3 was longer than group D1 and group D2 (P ＜ 0.05).The total sedation time of group D3 was longer than group D1 (P ＜ 0.05).The success rate of sedation and the incidence of sideeffects had no significantly difference among groups (P ＞0.05).Children's weight and medicine dose were found to affect recovery time.Conclusions Intranasal dexmedetomidine 1 ～ 2 μg/kg could be used effectively and safely in children undergoing echocardiography examination.Weight and dose were considered as key indexes to predict recovery time.

A miniaturized potentiometric label-free immunosensor based on the standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconduction transistor(CMOS) process and micro fabrication technique was developed to monitoring diabetes, which could detect the concentrations of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and hemoglobin. This immunosensor includes a micro field-effect transistor based sensor chip integrated with signal readout circuit and a disposable probe electrode. The micro sensor chip was designed by our lab and fabricated by Chartered Semiconductor, Singapore. The disposable probe electrode, which was integrated with sensitive electrodes array and micro reaction pool, was deposited on polyester plastic based on micro fabrication techniques. Antibody of HbA1c and hemoglobin were immobilized on the electrode based on self assemble monolayer and gold nanoparticles. The characteristics of the electrode during modification were studied by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance technique. The response characteristic of the immunosensor was detected. HbA1c from 4 to 24 mg/L and hemoglobin from 60 to 180 mg/L can be detected by this immunosensor.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the effect of etomidate and propofol on early postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD)of elderly patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC)and significance of serum protein S100β to the occurrence of early POCD in total intravenous anesthesia. METHODS:60 patients aged 65 years old above undergoing LC in total LMA intrave-nous anesthesia were selected and randomly divided into etomidate group(group E)and propofol group(group P),with 30 cases in each group. Anesthesia was induced by etomidate 0.3 mg/kg (group E) or propofol 1.5 mg/kg (group P),and additionally in-duced by sufentanil 0.4 μg/kg and vecuronium 0.12 mg/kg. Anesthesia was maintained with intravenous pump of remifentanil 0.15 μg/(kg·min),continuous target controlled infusion of etomidate(target concentration 1.0-1.5 μg/ml)(group E)or propofol(target concentration 3.0-4.0 μg/ml)(group P);the dual brain index(BIS)values were maintained between 40 and 50 throμgh adjusting target concentration of etomidate or propofol. The blood samples were collected 1 h before operation(T0),2 h(T1),24 h(T2), 48 h(T3)after operation,and the content of S100βprotein was detected and mini-mental state examination(MMSE)score were re-corded. Meanwhile,recovery time,laryngeal mask removal time,intraoperative dosage and the occurrence of intraoperative aware-ness were observed and recorded in 2 groups. RESULTS:There was no statistically significant difference in MMSE score between 2 groups at different time points(P>0.05);MMSE score of 2 groups at T1 and T2 was significantly lower than at T0,with statisti-cal significance(P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the content of S100β protein between 2 groups at dif-ferent time points(P>0.05);The contents of S100β protein in 2 groups at T1 and T2 were significantly higher than at T0,with sta-tistical significance(P<0.05). The recovery time and larynge-al mask removal time were both short in 2 groups,with statis-tical significance (P>0.05). The amount of ephedrine in group P was significantly higher than in group E,with statisti-cal significance (P<0.05). No intraoperative awareness oc-curred in 2 groups throμgh postoperative follow-up. CONCLUSIONS:Etomidate and propofol total intravenous anesthesia can be safely used in elderly patients with LC,and they can cause short-term POCD at different degrees. The amount of S100β protein has some relevance with the occurrence of early POCD .

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of Xianxiong decoction on the mice with acute lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide.

METHODEighty female ICR mice were randomly divided into 8 groups: model group, Xianxiong decoction group, Daxianxiong decoction group, Xianxiong decoction group without Kansui Radix group, Xianxiong decoction group without Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma group, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Kansui Radix group, normal group and control group. Animals of each group, except normal group, were undertaken intraperitoneal injection and intranasal inhalation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on day 1, 2, 3 to establish acute lung injury (ALI) model. 30 min after modeling, 0.2 mL corresponding drugs were administrated to each mice, dexam ethasone and normal saline were given to the mice of control group and normal group respectively. White blood cell in blood, neutrophil percentage of blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) supernatant, the ratio of wet and dry lung tissue ( W/D), histopathological changes of lung tissue were estimated. Sixty ICR mice were randomly divided into normal, model, control, high, middle and low dose Xianxiong decoction groups and were modeled in the same way. ELISA was applied to detect the level of NF-kappaB, TNF-alpha and IL-6 in BALF, PCR for NF-kappaB and TNF-alpha mRNA in lung tissue, and Western blot for NF-kappaB and TNF-alpha. Half of 20 ICR mice were administrated with Xianxiong decoction of its maximum tolerant normal saline.

RESULTCompared with model group, the number of WBC in blood of Xianxiong decoction group mice decreased (P < 0.01), percentage of neutrophils in both blood and BALF decreased as well (P < 0.01, P < 0.05); it also significantly reduced the ratio of W/D (P < 0.01); and found the alveolar wall, the number of inflammatory cells infiltrating improved, compared with model group. Xianxiong decoction reduced the level of NF-kappaB, TNF-alpha and IL-6 in BALF (P < 0.01, P < 0.01, P < 0.05); its high and low dose groups only found TNF-alpha level declined. Five mice died 24 h after administration of Xianxiong decoction which indicated its toxicity when other influential factors were considered.

CONCLUSIONXianxiong decoction is effective on the ALI mice induced by LPS, but it is of toxicity at 3 g x mL(-1).
