Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 2016;36(11):1306-1308
Objective To investigate the efficacy of intermittent epidural bolus ( IEB) for patient?controlled epidural analgesia ( PCEA) during delivery. Methods Eighty?five parturients requesting epi?dural analgesia, who were at full term ( 37-42 weeks of gestation) with a singleton fetus in vertex presenta?tion, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠorⅡ, with body mass index< 35 kg∕m2 , were divided into either IEB group ( n=42) or continuous epidural infusion ( CEI) group ( n=43) using a random number table. The analgesia solution contained 0.08% ropivacaine and 0.4μg∕ml sufentanil in both groups . IEB settings were a 6 ml bolus every hour at the rate of 400 ml∕h with a bolus dose 6 ml and lockout interval 30 min. CEI settings were background infusion 6 ml∕h with a bolus dose 6 ml and lockout interval 30 min. Numeric rating scale score was maintained≤5, and if the efficacy was not satisfactory, a bolus of pump solution 5-10 ml was added. The consumption of analgesics per hour, initial PCA time, and occur?rence of lower extremity numbness, motor block, nausea and vomiting, and pruritus were recorded. Pa?tients′satisfaction with analgesia was scored, and the duration of labor and mode of delivery were recorded. Results Compared with group CEI, the initial PCA time was significantly prolonged, the satisfaction score was significantly increased, the incidence of lower extremity numbness was significantly decreased ( P<0.05) , and no significant change was found in the consumption of analgesics per hour, incidence of motor block, nausea and vomiting, and pruritus, constituent ratio of mode of delivery, and duration of la?bor in group IEB ( P>0.05) . Conclusion IEB can be safely and effectively used for PCEA during deliver?y, and the efficacy is better than that of CEI in the parturients.

Objective To explore the effects of subchronic arsenic exposure through drinking water on glutamate-glutamine cycle in the brain of mice. Methods The female Kunming mice were exposed to arsenite ( iAsⅢ ) by drinking water at the levels of 25, 50 and 100 mg/L respectively for 6 consecutive weeks. The blood and brain were taken, the concentration of inorganic arsenic (iAs), monomethylarsenic acid (MMA), dimethylarsenic acid (DMA) and the activity of glutamine synthetase (GS), phosphate activated glutaminase (PAG), superoxide dimutase (SOD) and the concentrations of glutamate (Glu), lipidperoxide(LPO) were determined. Results The concentrations of iAs, MMA and DMA in the blood and brains increased as the iAsⅢ concentrations in drinking water increased. The activity of GS, PAG and the concentrations of Glu in the arsenic exposed mice increased compared with the control. The activity of GS in 50 mg/L group, the activity of PAG in 25 and 50 mg/L groups, the concentration of Glu in 100 mg/L group showed a significant difference compared with the control. The activity of PAG in 25 mg/L group was significantly higher than that in 100 mg/L group. The activity of SOD in exposed groups was higher than that in the control, the concentration of LPO in exposed groups did not show a significant difference compared with the control. Conclusion Arsenic can enter the brain and organic arsenic is dominant both in the blood and brain, however, the composition of arsenic speciation is different in the blood and brain. DMA, as a main arsenide, distributed in the brain. Arsenic exposure can change the activity of GS and PAG which can influence the concentration of Glu. Moreover, arsenic exposure can increase the superoxide anion and make the activity of SOD increase compensatively.
