Objective To investigate the effects of different methods of volume therapy on the inflammatory response in patients undergoing liver cancer resection.Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 40-60 yr,with body mass index 20-25 kg/m2,undergoing liver cancer resection,were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n =20 each):routine fluid replacement group (group Ⅰ ) and goal-directed fluid replacement group (group Ⅱ ).The fluid replacement regime in group Ⅰ =compensatory volume expansion (CVE) + physiological requirements + cumulative loss + confinued loss + the third space losses.CVE was replaced with lactated Ringer's (LR) solution 5 mg/kg before anesthesia induction.The physiological requirements and cumulative loss were replaced with LR solution according to the principle of 4-2-1.The continued loss equal to the intraoperative blood loss was replaced with the equal volume of 6％ hydroxyethyl s tarch ( HES 130/0.4).The 3rd space losses were replaced with LR solution 5 ml·kg-1 ·h-1.In group Ⅱ,CVE was replaced with LR sol6ution as in group Ⅰ.LR solution was infused after anesthesia induction at 5 ml·kg-1 ·h-1.6％ HES was infused to maintain left ventricular ejection time (LVETc) between 350-400 ms.When 350 ms ＜ LVETc ＜ 400 ms and the amplitude of stroke volume ( SV ) increased by ＞ 10％,6％ HES was infused continuously until the amplitude of SV increased by ≤ 10％.Blood samples were taken before anesthesia induction and at the end of operation for measurement of serum TNF-α,IL-2,IL-4,IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations.The adverse cardiovascular reactions were recorded.Results Compared with group Ⅰ,the serum TNF-α,IL-6,IL-8 concentrations were significantly decreased,the serum IL-2 and IL-4 concentrations were significantly increase,and the incidence of hypotension and tachycardia was significantly decreased in group Ⅱ ( P ＜ 0.05).No adverse cardiovascular reactions were found in both groups.Conclusion LVETc and SV-guided volume therapy can maintain the blood volume and inhibit the inflammatory response and is suitable for the patients undergoing liver cancer resection.

Objective To evaluate the predictive performance of propofol target-controlled infusion (TCI) system incorporating the Schnider pharmacokinetic parameters in Chinese patients. Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 25-45 yr, with body mass index 20-25 kg/m2 , scheduled for gynecological laparoscopic surgery un der general anesthesia, were enrolled in this study. Anesthesia was induced with TCI of propofol (target plasma concentration (Cp) 3 μg/ml) and remifentanil (Cp 4 ng/ml) . Propofol was infused by Orchestra TCI system incorporating the Schnider pharmacokinetic parameters. Tracheal intubation was facilitated with rocuronium 0.6 mg/kgafter the patients lost consciousness. The patients were mechanically ventilated. PETCO2 was maintained at 30-40 mm Hg. Anesthesia was maintained with TCI of remifentanil (Cp 4 ng/ml) and propofol (Cp 3-5 μg/ml) and intermittent iv boluses of atracurium 0.2 mg/kg. BIS value was maintained at 40-45. Venous blood samples were obtained at 15, 30, 45 and 60 min after pneumoperitoneum for measurement of blood propofol concentrations by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector. Performance error, median prediction performance error, median absolute performance error, wobble and divergence of propofol TCI system were calculated. Results The value for performance error was 21 % (13%), for median prediction performance error 6.7 % (37.4%),for median absolute performance error 19% (18%), for divergence - 0.65%/h (0.82%/h) and for wobble 16.3% (15.2% ) . Conclusion The accuracy of propofol TCI system incorporating the Schnider pharmacokinetic parameters is high in Chinese patients and its predictive performance is acceptable clinically.

Objective To evaluate the correlation between stroke volume variation (SVV) and blood volume during one-lung ventilation (OLV).Methods Forty ASA Ⅱ male patients,aged 50-60 yr,with body mass index 20-25 kg/m2,scheduled for elective resection of esophageal cancer,were studied.Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl 4 μg/kg,propofol 2 mg/kg,and rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg.Double-lumen tube was inserted.Correct position was verified by fiberoptic bronchoscopy.The patients were mechanically ventilated (VT 8 ml/kg,RR 15 bpm,Ⅰ ∶ E 1 ∶ 2).6％ hydroxyethyl statch (HES) 130/0.4 was infused intravenously at a rate of 0.67 ml· kg-1 · min-1 starting from 30 min of OLV.SVV,cardiac output (CO),SV and cardiac index (CI) were monitored and recorded using the FloTrac/Vigileo (Edwards Lifesciences,USA) system before HES was infused and when the dose of HES reached 2,4,6,8,10 and 12 ml/kg.Spearman rank sum correlation coefficient was used to analyze the data.Results SVV was negatively correlated with the blood volume during OLV and the correlation coefficient was rSVV =-0.249.CI,CO and SV were positively correlated with the blood volume during OLV and the correlation coefficients were rCO =0.570,rSV =0.552 and rCI =0.550,respectively.Conclusion SVV is poorly correlated with the blood volume during OLV and can not reflect the blood volume accurately.

Fluorescent technology is widely used in many fields due to its high sensitivity. However, the direct quantification of one target analyte in complex system is still difficult to be achieved when using the traditional fluorescent method without any pretreatment separation procedure. This is due to the fact that serious overlapping of fluorescence spectra often occurs, mainly originating from natural interferences in complex sample backgrounds, or the interferents with similar structures to a target analyte, particularly in the simultaneous analysis of multi-components samples. The rapid development of modern analytical instruments and three-way data collection techniques has led to a resurgence of interest in the development of chemomet-rics-based analytical strategies, which might light a new avenue to simple experimentation using“mathematical separation” as a replacement or enhancement of“physical or chemical separation” of uncalibrated background or interferents. These methods can offer a highly attractive property, called“second-order advantage”, which allows for the direct and rapid determination of a single target component or simultaneous determination of multiple target components in complex samples, even in the presence of uncalibrated interferences. The property has been a hotspot in the current chemometric domain, and was successfully employed for many applications, such as pharmaceuticals, biological, food, environmental analysis and so on.

Objective To assess the effect of continuous low-dose infusion of adenosine on hepatic arterial flow (HAF) of patients with liver graft during surgery.Methods From Jan 2009 to Aug 2009,44 patients underwent orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).10 patients were enrolled to receive adenosine treatment and 34 patients served as controls.Following arterial reperfusion,a 16G central venous catheter was placed into the gastroduodenal artery and adenosine was continuously infused at doses ranging from 0.7 to 4.2 μg · kg-1 · min-1 for 30 min.HAF and portal vein flow (PVF) were measured using a real-time time flow meter prior to,during and 10 min after adenosine infusion.Data on gender,age,postoperative hospital stay,ICU stay,hepatic biochemical indicators and 1-year survival rate were compared between the two groups.Results Adenosine significantly increased HAF at doses from 1.4 to 2.8 μg · kg-1 · min-1 Doses ＞2.8 μg · kg-1 · min-1 did not further increase HAF.HAF increased by 150.3％ ± 161.2％ (P ＜0.05) while PVF showed no significant changes (P ＞ 0.05) during adenosine infusion.No significant differences were found on MAP [(85.6 ± 13.0) vs 84.0 ± 13.6,P ＞0.05] and HR [(74.5 ± 10.0) vs (74.1 ± 9.6),P ＞ 0.05] before and after adenosine infusion.In addition,there were no significant differences between the adenosine group and the control group on patients' gender,age,postoperative hospital stay,ICU stay,hepatic biochemical indicators and 1-year survival rate.Conclusion This pilot study concluded that adenosine administration directly into the HA significantly increased HAF of liver grafts without systemic side effects.
