Objective To evaluate the correlation between CYP3A4 enzyme and analgesia with fentanyl after gynecological operation. Methods One hundred and fifty-nine ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 30-50 yr, scheduled for elective myomectomy or abdominal total hysterectomy, were enrolled in this study. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, remifentanil, propofol and succinylcholine and maintained with iv infusion of propofol and remifentanil and intermitent iv injection of atracurium. Venous blood samples were obtained for determination of the plasma 1'-hydroxymidazolam and midazolam concentrations at 1 h after iv injection of midazolam. The ratio of the 1'-hydroxymidazolam concentration to the midazolam concentration was used to reflect the effect of CYP3A4 enzyme. Pain was assessed with visual analog scale (VAS) after consciousness was regained. When VAS score ＞ 4,the patients were given fentanyl 10 μg every 5 min until VAS score ≤ 4 and then PCIA with fentanyl was performed. VAS score was maintained ≤4. The times of successful delivery within 24 h after operation and during the period of 24-28 h after operation and fentanyl consumption within 48 h after operation were recorded. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the data. Results There was no correlation between the effect of CYP3 A4 enzyme and the times of successful delivery or fentanyl consumption, and the correlation coefficients were 0.16, 0.13 and 0.11 respectively ( P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion CYP3A4 enzyme is not the major enzyme metabolizing fentanyl.

Sixty gynecological patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery during October 2010 to June 2011were randomly divided into 2 groups:laryngeal mask airway proseal ( PLMA group,n =30 ) and laryngeal mask airway classic (CLMA group,n =30).Laryngeal mask was inserted after induction.The heart rate (HR),mean arterial pressure (MAP),airway sealing pressure,the average time of placement,the pulmonary satisfaction and complications were recorded.There was no significant difference in heart rate and MAP between the two groups(P＞0.05).The airway sealing pressure [ (26 ±6) cm H2O ( 1cm H2O =0.098 kPa) vs.(16±5) cm H2O],the average time of placement [(36±5) vs.(24±6) s)] and the excellent lung ventilation(90％ vs.73％ ) in the PLMA group were more significantly increased than those in the CLMA group(P ＜0.05).PLMA can assure good airway sealing and is more suitable for gynecological patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.

Objective To investigate the effects of CYP3A5~* 3 genetic polymorphism on analgesia with fentanyl. Methods One hundred and eighty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 20-50 yr, Hart nationality, Henan province, scheduled for elective abdominal total hysterectomy or myomectomy under general anesthesia, were enrolled in this study. The polymorphic sites of the CYP3A5~* 3 allele were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The patients were assigned to one of 3 groups according to their genotypes: wild homozygote group, mutation heterozygote group and mutation homozygote group. Midazolam, remifentanyl, propofol and succinylcholine were used for induction of anesthesia. The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation. Remifentanyl, propofol and atracurium were given iv for maintenance of anesthesia. The pain was assessed with visual analog scale (VAS) after consciousness was regained. When VAS score > 3, the patients were given fentanyl 20 μg every 5 min until VAS score was decreased to ≤3 and then patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with fentanyl was started. The background infusion rate of fentanyl 1.0 mg and droperidol 5 mg (in 100 ml normal saline) was 0.5 ml/h. The PCIA pump was programmed to give a 2 ml bolus of fentanyl solution with a 5 min lockout interval, 7 time successful delivery per hour and maximum dosage 145 μg/h, and VAS score was maintained less than 3. The amount of fentanyl used within 24 h after surgery was recorded. Results No significant difference was detected in the fentanyl consumption in the 24 h during PCIA among the 3 groups (P> 0.05). Conclusion The genetic polymorphism CYP3 A5~* 3 is not the factor contributing to the individual variation in the patient's response to analgesia with fentanyl.

Objective To investigate the effects of UDP glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A9 I399 C ＞ T single nucleotide polymorphism on postoperative sedation with propofol in patients undergoing breast surgery.Methods One hundred and fifty-two ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ female patients,aged 20-50 yr,weighing 50-70 kg,scheduled for elective benign breast tumor excision under general anesthesia,were enrolled in this study.The polymorphic sites of the UGT1A9 I399 C ＞ T allele were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism.The patients were assigned to one of 3 groups according to their genotypes:wild homozygote (C/C) group,mutation heterozygote (C/T) group and mutation homozygote (T/T) group.During induction and maintenance of anesthesia,propofol was given by target-controlled infusion with the plasma concentration (Cp) of 3μg/ml.Blood samples were taken at 60 min after target-controlled infusion of propofol was started for determination of the Cp of propofol using high-performance liquid chromatography.The time when OAAS was 4 after stopping the infusion of propofol was recorded and the BIS value and effect-site concentration of propofol were also recorded at this time.The time when BIS value was 80 was recorded and the effect-site concentration of propofol was also recorded at this time.Results Genotyping analysis revealed that genotype distribution of UGT1A9 I399 C ＞ T polymorphism was C/C 24 cases,C/T 96 cases and T/T 32 cases.The T allele frequency was 53％.The C allele frequency was 47.4％.There was no significant difference in the Cp of propofol,time when OAAS was 4,BIS value and effectsite concentration of propofol when OAAS was 4,time when BIS value was 80 and effect-site concentration of propofol when BIS value was 80 among the three groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion UGT1 A9 I399C ＞ T single nucleotide polymorphism is not the genetic factor contributing to the individual variation in the patient' s response to postoperative analgesia with propofol in patients undergoing breast surgery.

Objective To investigate the effect of IL-1β-511 genetic polymorphism on postoperative analgesia with fentanyl. Methods Two hundred and fifty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of Han nationality (native of Henan province) aged 20-50 yr undergoing elective abdominal total hysterectomy or myomectomy under general anesthesia were enrolled in this study. The polymorphic sites of the IL-1β-511 allele were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The patients were assigned into 3 groups according to their genotypes: group wild homozygote; group mutation hetorozygote and group mutation homozygote. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, remifentanil, propofol and succinylcholine and maintained with propofol, remifentanil and atracurium. The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation. The pain was assessed using VAS score after the patients recovered from anesthesia. When VAS score was ＞ 3 the patients were given fentany120 μg every 5 min until VAS score decreased to ≤ 3. PCIA with fentanyl was then started. The PCIA solution contained fentanyl 1.0 mg and droperidol 5mg in 100 ml of normal saline. The PCA pump was set to deliver a background infusion of 0.5 ml/h and a bolus dose of 2 ml at 5 min lockout interval. The VAS score was maintained at ≤3.The amount of fentanyl consumed during 24 h of PCIA was recorded. Results There was no significant difference in the amount of fentanyl consumed during the 24 h PCIA among the 3 groups. Conclusion IL-1β-511 genetic polymorphism is not the factor contributing to the individual variation in the patient' s response to postopertive analgesia with fentanyl, indicating that the pain within 24 h after operation is not related to the inflammatory factors.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis of gallbladder sarcomatoid carcinoma. Methods: The clinical manifestations and the microscopic and immunohistochemical characteristics of six patients with gallbladder sarcomatoid carcinoma were analyzed with a follow-up period. Related literature was reviewed. Results:Immunohistochemical markers of gallbladder sarcomatoid carcinoma with spindle cell morphology were epithelial and mesenchymal positivity. Conclusion: Gallbladder sarcomatoid carcinoma could be firmly diagnosed by microscopic morphology and immunohistochemistry. Radical resection is currently used to treat such patients. However, more cases with longer follow-up period are needed to discover better treatments and improve the survival of these patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of PXR* 1B polymorphism on postoperative analgesia with fentanyl in the patients undergoing gynecological operation.Methods A total of 102 female patients from Henan province, of Han nationality, aged 20-50 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ , with body mass index of 14.8-30.0 kg/m2, scheduled for elective abdominal total hysterectomy or myomectomy under general anesthesia, were enrolled in this study.PXR genetic polymorphic sites were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-direct DNA sequencing.PXR* 1B haplotype was analyzed by the PHASE V.2.1 software.The patients were assigned into 3 groups according to their genotypes: PXR* 1B haplotype group (group PXR* 1B), non-PXR* 1B haplotype group (group n-PXR* 1B) and PXR* 1B/PXR * 1B group (group PXR* 1B/PXR* 1B).Postoperative pain was assessed with visual analogue scale (VAS) score.When VAS ＞ 3, fentanyl 20 μg was injected intermittently until VAS ≤ 3, and then a pump was connected to perform patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with fentanyl.PCIA solution contained fentanyl 1.0 mg and droperidol 5 mg in 100 ml of normal saline.The PCA pump was set up with a 2 ml bolus dose, a 5 min lockout interval and background infusion at a rate of 0.5 ml/h.The number of successfully delivered doses was set at 7 times, and the maximal amount of fentanyl was 145 μg.If exceeding the maximal dose, the VAS score was still more than 3, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were given as rescue medication.VAS score immediately after the end of operation, and the consumption of fentanyl within 24 h after operation were recorded.Midazolam 0.1 mg/kg was injected intravenously during induction of general anesthesia, and 1 h later venous blood samples were collected for determination of plasma 1'-hydroxymidazolam and midazolam concentrations.The ratio of 1'-hydroxymidazolam concentration to midazolam concentration was calculated to reflect the activity of CYP3A4.Results No patients required rescue anesthetics in the three groups.There were 27 cases in group PXR * 1B, 53 cases in group n-PXR* 1B, and 22 cases in group PXR* 1B/PXR* 1B.PXR* 1B allele frequency was 37.2％.There was no significant difference in VAS score immediately after the end of operation, consumption of fentanyl within 24 h after operation, and activity of CYP3A4 between the three groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion PXR* 1B polymorphism has no effect on postoperative analgesia with fentanyl in the patients undergoing gynecological operation, and is not one of the genetic factors producing individual variation in postoperative analgesia.

Objective To investigate the effects of CYP3A4* 1G genetic polymorphism on fentanyl pharmadynamics after intravenous injection in healthy female velunteers,Methods Twenty-eight healthy female volunteers aged 18-25 yr weighing 45-70 kg were enrolled in this study.The CYP3A4 * 1G genetic polymorphic sites were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).The volunteers were assigned into 3 groups according to their genotypes:group Ⅰ wild homozygote ; group Ⅱ mutation heterozygote and group Ⅲ mutation homozygote.Fentanyl 5 μg/kg was injected iv over 1 min.Pain threshold was measured using electrical stimulation before and at 45,150 and 240 min after fentanyl injection.Results Pain threshold was significantly higher at 45 and 150 min after iv fentanyl injection in mutation homozygote group than in mutation heterozygote group and wild homozygote group.There was no significant difference in pain threshold between mutation heterozygote group and wild homozygote group.Conclusion CYP3A4* 1G genetic mutation can enhance the analgesic efficacy of fentanyl after intravenous injection in healthy female volunteers.
