To observe the hemodynamics changes of patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under epidural or general anesthesia. Method: 25 patients were divided into two groups: general(GA, n=11)and epidural (EA, n=14) anesthesia groups. Hemodynamic parameters (HR, MAP, CVP, PCWP, PAP, CO, CI, SVR, PVR) were measured with Swan-Ganz technique after the patients being placed to rT position,CO2 being insufflated into peritoneal cavity, and at the end of operation. Result: 1. In the EA group, CVP reduced significantly after rT position placed, SV, CO, MAP and HR reduced significanty after peritoneal insufflation,but still within normal range. 2. In the GA group, CVP, SV, CO were significant ly reduced after rT position placed; After peritoneal insufflation, all parametere were significantly increased except SV had no significant change. Conclusion:Epidural anesthesia can be safely applied to the ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ grade patients undergoing laparoscopic cbolecystectomy.

The mechanisms of general anesthesia, which was introduced about 170 years ago, remain poorly under- stood. Even less well understood are the effects of general anesthesia on the human body. Recently we identified 18 G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) genes of Daphnia pulex, an invertebrate model organism. Phylogenetic analysis identified these genes to be the homologs of the human γ-aminobutyric acid, type B (GABAB) receptor, metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR), adrenergic receptor, serotonin (5-HT) receptor, dopamine receptor and muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR). Using reverse transcription and quantitative PCR techniques, we systematically measured the effects of propofol, etomidate and ethanol on these 18 GPCR mRNA expressions in Daphnia pulex.

OBJECTIVE:
To determine the effect of preamputation pain on the behavioral response and astrocytic activation in the spinal cord of amputated rats, and to assess the association between preamputation pain and chronic amputation-related pain.
METHODS:
A total of 84 adult male SD rats were randomly distributed into an NA group (n=42) and a PA group (n=42). The NA group was intraplantarly injected with saline 100 μL, while the PA group was intraplantarly injected with complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) 100 μL in both cases at 7 d before the amputation. Thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) was measured before the injection and at 1, 3, 5, and 7 d after the injection. All rats were amputated on the 7th day. The TWL, diet and water intake were measured on 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, and 28 d after the amputation. Expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in the L4-6 of spinal cord was measured by immunohistochemistry before the saline/ CFA injection, 7 d after the injection and 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 d after the amputation..
RESULTS:
The TWL significantly decreased on 1, 3, 5, and 7 d after the intraplantar administration of CFA compared with the basic value in the PA group (P<0.05), while there was no difference between 1, 3, 5, and 7 d after the intraplantar administration of saline and the basic value in the NA group (P>0.05). In addtions to the basic value, the TWL of the PA group was shorter than that of the NA group at the above-mentioned time-points (P<0.05). Compared with the preoperative level, the diet and water intake decreased significantly after the amputation in both groups, but recovered to the preoperative levels, by 3 d after the amputation in the NA group, and by 5 d after the amputation in the PA group. Compared with the TWL of the residual limb on the day of amputation, the TWL of the residual limb increased significantly 3 d after the amputation and remained elevated until 28 d after the amputation in the NA group (P<0.05), while there was no difference between each time point after the amputation and the day of the amputation in the PA group. Compared with the basic value, there was an obviously high expression of GFAP in the NA group beginning on the day of amputation and in the PA group 7 d after the CFA injection (P<0.05). After the amputation, the expression of GFAP was significantly higher in the PA group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Preamputation pain delays the recovery and activates the spinal astrocytes which may turn the acute postoperative pain into a chronic one.

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is an important transcription factor under hypoxic condition in many organisms, and plays a key role in the induction of hypoxia tolerance. It is necessary to establish a hypoxia model for HIF and to perform further hypoxia tolerance research. To investigate the value of Daphnia as a model organism in hypoxia precondition, we developed a preconditioning protocol with a model organism, Daphnia pulex. We found that two episodes of exposure to hypoxic solution resulted in enhanced hypoxia tolerance which is dependent on HIF. Comparative genomic analysis was also made to highlight the homology of HIF-related genes among Daphnia, fruitfly and human. We found that Daphnia is suitable for the study of human hypoxic injury as a model organism.

We treated 20 patients suffering from uncertainty statements syndrome (USS) with stellate ganglion block (SGB) therapy. The medical infrared thermography was examined before and after the SGB therapy. Analysis on the changes of surface temperature as well as the outcome of the patients was carried out. Among the mentioned 20 patients, 15 (75%) got obvious effect, 4 (20%) fairly good effect and 1 (5%) a little improvement after the SGB therapy. The corresponding surface temperatures of these patients were 1.32 +/- 0.27 degrees C, 0.97 +/- 0.31 degrees C, and 0.76 +/- 0.33 degrees C, respectively. The more the surface temperature changed, the better the efficacy of the therapy was. The medical infrared thermography may objectively represent the therapeutic effect of SGB on the USS.
