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.

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

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.

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

Objective To observe the effect of electroacupuncture(EA) in combination with small dose of clozapine on clinical symptoms of refractory schizophrenia patients so as to evaluate its validity and security.Methods Eighty schizophrenia patients were randomized into medication group and EA+medication group(n=40/group).Patients of medication group were treated with conventional oral administration of clozapine(50-100 mg/d to 200-500 mg/d,for 8 weeks) and those of EA+ medication group treated by EA of Baihui(GV 20) and bilateral Taiyang(EX-HN 5) and oral administration of clozapine(50 mg/d to 100-150 mg/d).EA was given to the patients,3 times a week for 8 weeks.Scores of the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale(PANSS) and the Untoward Effect Symptom Scale(TESS) were used to assess the therapeutic effect.Results Following treatment,PANSS scores for positive symptoms and the common psychiatric symptoms of the medication and EA+medication groups all decreased evidently from the 2rd week on(P0.05).But TESS score of EA+medication group was evidently lower than that of medication group(P

Objective:To learn the effect of personality in the course of cognitive decline.Methods:106 aged people from two districts were selected randomly.Arithmetic,digit span,picture filling,block patterns,digit symbol,visual attention span,spatial reasoning were used to learn the cognitive ability,“Kartaier's 16 personality factors test”were used to explore the personality of aged people.Results:16 personality factors test shows that old people are more deferential and self-assured.The relation between reasoning and arithmetic,rule-consciousness and arithmetic,abstractedness and digit span,reasoning and block design,dominance and digit symbol,sensitivity and special reasoning,apprehension and visual attention span,openness to change and visual attention span reach the statistical significance.Conclusion:Age is the most important reason to the cognitive impairment in aged people, education can prevent the cognitive impairment in a large degree.Personality can affect the cognitive ability although different personality factor affect different cognitive fields.

AIM:To evaluate the repeatability of axial length (AL) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) obtained by A scan ultrasonography, and to compare AL and ACD obtained by A scan with those obtained by IOL Master.METHODS:Two hundred and fifty-seven cataract eyes of 170 patients were included.IOL Master and A scan were performed for each eye.Five measurements of IOL Master and 3 measurements of A scan were obtained.All the tested eyes were divided into 5 groups according to AL obtained by A scan:Group A (2129mm, 21 eyes).Cronbach's Alpha coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were applied to evaluate the repeatability of AL and ACD obtained by A scan.Paired t test and Pearson correlation coefficient were used to analyze the differences and correlations of AL and ACD obtained by the 2 devices, respectively.Bland-Altman plots were presented to analyze the agreements of AL and ACD obtained by the 2 devices.RESULTS:All the Cronbach's Alpha and ICCs of AL and ACD values were more than 0.98.The differences of AL values between A scan and IOL Master were-0.11±0.08mm in Group A,-0.15±0.10mm in Group B,-0.19±0.15 mm in Group C,-0.29±0.16mm in Group D and-0.45±0.29mm in Group E, respectively (all P<0.01).The differences of ACD values between A scan and IOL Master were-0.10±0.16mm in Group A,-0.06±0.13mm in Group B,-0.06±0.13mm in Group C,-0.19±0.10mm in Group D,-0.18±0.21mm in Group E, respectively (all P<0.01).In all groups, the AL and ACD values obtained by A scan and IOL Master presented good correlations (all r>0.89, all P<0.01).CONCLUSION:The AL and ACD values in cataract eyes obtained by A scan were repeatable.The AL and ACD values obtained by A scan were smaller than those obtained by IOL Master.With the increase of AL values, the differences of AL values between A scan and IOL Master increased.

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.
