Objective To examine the differences in the level of sedation and adverse effects produced by equivalent analgesic doses of remifentanil,sufentanil and fentanyl.Methods Eighty ASA Ⅰ female patients aged 18-39 yr with BMI of 18-25 kg/m2 scheduled for laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n =20 each):group control (group C) ; group remifentanil ( group R) ; group sufentanil (group S) and group fentanyl (group F).Remifentanil 2 μg/kg,sufentanil 0.2 μg/kg and fentanyl 2 μg/kg in normal saline 10 ml were infused iv over 2 min in groups R,S and F respectively.Depth of sedation was assessed and scored using OAA/S scale (5 =alert,1 =no response to prodding) and wavele index (WLI),before (baseline) and at 2,4,6,8 and 10 min after drug administration.Besides RR,pulse oxygen saturation,BP,HR were also monitored.The incidences of apnea,muscle rigidity,nausea and vomiting,pruritus,vertigo,bradycardia,profuse sweating and skin rash were measured and calculated.Results The 4 groups were comparable with respect to age,BMI and height.The lowest values of OAA/S scores,WLI and RR were significantly lower in groups R,S and F than in group C.Sufentanil produced the deepest sedation among the 3 opioids.Remifentanil produced strongest respiratory depression and nausea and vomiting.Conclusion The equivalent analgesic dose of sufentanil produces deeper sedation than that of remifentanil and fentanyl while remifentanil has the greatest impact on RR.

Purpose To observe the changes of choroidal circulation and the retinal lesions caused by ocular contusion with indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). Methods ICGA examination was performed on 30 cases (30 eyes) of various traumatic condition in conjunction with fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA). Results FFA of 19 cases (63.3%) showed the hypofluorence in quadrant or whole disc in accordance with the area of delayed filling of choroid. Twenty six cases (86.2%) showed defected choroidel perfusion in ICGA,among them 16 cases showed localized delayed perfusion, in which the shortest perfusion time was 1 min 50 s and the longest time was 5 min.43 s,and 10 patients showed localized perfusion defect,and reversed filling time of retinochoroid vessels in 6 patients. Five cases (16.6%) had delayed filling time in both choroidal and central retinal vessels. Damage of retinal pigment epithelium was found in the areas of choroidal abnormal perfusion. Conclusion ICGA combined with simultaneously FFA, is valuable in evaluating blunt injury of the ocular fundus and beneficial to its diagnosis and treatment.

0.05). Conclusion Tirofiban is safe and can reduce ischemic cardiac events and myocardial injury in treating ACS.

Objective To observe the dynamic changes of interferon gamma(IFN-?) and transforming growth factor bata1(TGF-?_1) in animal model of hyperoxia-induced lung injury,and to explore the mechanism of fibrosis.Methods Thirty-two juvenile Wistar rats were randomly divided into room-air group and hyperoxia group,the hyperoxia group were further divided into 3 subgroups of hyperoxia-exposure for 3,7 and 14 days.The mRNA levels of IFN-? and TGF-?_1 in the lung were measured by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).The expressions of IFN-? and TGF-?_1 protein were measured by immunohistochemical(stai)-ning.Results The level of IFN-? mRNA of groups under hyperxia-exposure for 3,7 and 14 days were higher than that of control group.The expression of IFN-? mRNA notably elevated and was up to its peak(P

Rhynchophylla is a Chinese herb commonly used in clinical practice. It's also the primary herb of some famous Chinese herbal compound such as Tianma Gouteng decoction, and Lingyang Gouteng decoction. According the record from many previous materia medica literatures, rhynchophylla should be added later during decoction. Pharmaceutical research showed that rhynchophylla alkaloids were not stable. Which has resulted in many problems in the research and its application. For example, there was not a quantitative determination method in "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" of past and present versions, which seriously impacted its quality control and product application. Firstly, records from previous materia medica literatures and "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" were systematically sorted based on the chemical stability of rhynchophylla. Secondly, pharmaceutical research including chemical compositions and their stability, pharmacological effects, extraction process and quality analysis, was reviewed after reference of literatures published at home and abroad in recent decades. Positive reference and evidence for further research and development of rhynchophylla will be provided in the article.
