Objective: To investigate the role of endogenous nitric oxide (NO) in the pulmonary edema caused by overinfusion of colloid. Method: Forty healthy rabbits were randomly allocated into (Ⅰ) control group, (Ⅱ) infusion control group: one fold total blood volume of Gelofusine was infused at 2ml?kg~(-1)?min~(-1)(Ⅲ)L-NNA group:LNNA 20 mg/kg was intravenously injected before infusion, (Ⅳ)L-Arg+L-NNA group:L-arginine 300mg/kg and LNNA 20 mg/kg was intravenously injected before infusion. MAP,HR and CVP were recorded during the experiment, arterial blood gas analysis was examined before and after infusion,serumal NO value and lung water content were measured at the end of the experiment. Result: Overinfusion of colloid,L-NNA,an inhibitor of NO synthesis increased the extravascular lung water (EVLW) content and decreased NO value,meanwhile CVP increased,HR,PaO_2 and SaO_2 decreased,excess dose of L-arginine completely reversed the effect of L-NNA. Serumal NO value was negatively correlated with EVLW content (r=-0.94). EVLW content was significantly correlated with total lung water (r=0.41). Conclusion:Endogenous NO can reduce the pulmonary edema caused by overinfusion of colloid.

Objective To compare the risk of tumor invasion and metastasis under paravertebral block (PVB) combined with general anesthesia versus general anesthesia in the patients undergoing radical resection for lung cancer performed via video-assisted thoracoscope in terms of plasma concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9).Methods Forty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,aged 30-64 yr,with body mass index of 18-25 kg/m2,scheduled for elective radical resection for lung cancer performed via video-assisted thoracoscope,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =20 each) using a random number table:general anesthesia group (group G) and PVB combined with general anesthesia (group PG).PVB of T4-7 was performed successfully with local injection of 0.375％ ropivacaine 5 ml before induction of anesthesia.Double-lumen endotracheal tube was placed after induction of anesthesia,and the patients were mechanically ventilated.Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of sevoflurane (end-tidal concentration 1％-2％),and intravenous infusion of remifentanil 0.2-0.3 μg · kg-1 · min-1,and intermittent intravenous boluses of atracurium.Before anesthesia and at 24 h after surgery,the venous blood samples were collected for measurement of plasma concentrations of VEGF and MMP-9.Results The plasma VEGF and MMP-9 concentrations were significantly lower after surgery in group PG than in group G.Conclusion PVB combined with general anesthesia significantly decreases the risk of tumor invasion and metastasis in the patients undergoing radical lung cancer resection performed via video-assisted thoracoscope in comparison to general anesthesia.

Objective To explore the efficacy and the safety of oxycodone hydrochloride injection in the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in breast cancer patients.Methods A total of 200 female patients,aged 25-65 years,ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective breast-conservative surgery,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=100 each): oxycodone hydrochloride group (group O) and sufentanil group (group S).Oxycodone 0.2 mg/kg (group O) or sufentanil 0.2 μg/kg (group S) with propofol 2 mg/kg and cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg were administered intravenously for general anesthesia induction.Propofol target-controlled infusion combined with remifentanil were used for maintenance of general anesthesia during the operation.Anesthesia time,awake time,extubation time,total consumption of propofol and remifentanil were recorded.The adverse events and VAS scores after surgery were observed.Results There was no significant difference between groups in anesthesia time,awake time,extubation time,consumption of propofol and remifentanil.Compared with group S,group O had lower VAS score at 2 h after surgery (P<0.05),but with no significant difference at other time points.There was no significant difference at the incidence of moderate pain between group.The incidence of dizziness was 18% in both groups.The incidence of nausea was 11 (11%) in group S and 9 (9%) in group O with no significant difference.Conclusion Taken together,oxycodone hydrochloride used for general anesthesia in breast cancer patient is practicable.

Objective To investigate the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on EC50 of propofol given by TCI which produces loss of consciousness (LOC) in breast cancer patients.Methods Ninety ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ breast cancer patients aged 30-60 yr scheduled for elective surgery were allocated into 3 groups according to the chemotherapy the patients received (n=30 each):group Ⅰ control (group C) received no chemotherapy;group Ⅱ taxol and group Ⅲ adriamycine+cyclophosphamide+5-Fu.The patients were unpremedicated.The EC50 of propofol given by TCI was determined by up-and-down technique.The initial effect-site concentration (Ce) of propofol was 2.07μg/ml and the ratio between the 2 successive Ce was 1.09.Loss of response to verbal command and eyelash stimulation was used as sighs of LOC.The EC50 of propofol was calculated.Results The EC50 of propofol causing LOC was significantly lower in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ than in control group.There was no significant difference in the EC50 of propofol which produces LOC between group Ⅱ and Ⅲ.Conclusion The EC50 of propofol causing LOC in breast cancerpatients is decreased by adjuvant chemotherapy.

Objective To evaluate the safety and effective dose of oxycodone hydrochloride in-jection for postoperative analgesia in breast cancer patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy under general anesthesia in a prospective,randomized controlled clinical trial.Methods One hundred fe-male patients at ASAⅠ or Ⅱ,aged 29-69 years,BMI< 30 kg/m2 ,scheduled for elective modified radical mastectomy under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into two groups (n =50):low dose oxycodone hydrochloride injection group (group OL),and high dose oxycodone hydrochloride injection group (group OH).Oxycodone 0.03 mg/kg (group OL)and 0.09 mg/kg (group OH)was intravenous injected 30 mi-nutes before the end of the operation,respectively.Anesthetics usage was terminated when skin was sutured.Pain at rest and during movement was assessed using VAS score at 5 min,0.5,2,4,8,12 and 24 h after extubation of laryngeal mask.Total consumption of analgesic for rescue analgesia in the ward and the adverse events were recorded.Results Compared with group OL,group OH had lower VAS scores,There were significant differences in the VAS scores between groups at 8 and 12 h after surgery (P <0.05).No serious adverse event occurred in each group postoperatively.The most common adverse event was nausea, followed by vomiting and dizziness.There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse event be-tween the two groups.Conclusion 0.09 mg/kg oxycodone hydrochloride injection is safe and effective in re-ducing pain after breast cancer radical operation.

Objective To investigate the effect of transcutaneous electric acupoint stimulation (TEAS)of Hegu-Neiguan-Houxi-Zhigou for preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy.Methods Sixty-four ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ pa-tients,aged 18-75 years,scheduled for elective thoracoscopic lobectomy were enrolled.Patients were randomly allocated into two groups (n =32):TEAS group (group E)and sham TEAS group (group C).TEAS at Hegu,Neiguan,Houxi and Zhigou was applied to patients before,during and after sur-gery in group E.The frequency was 2/100 Hz and the intensity was 2 times the threshold of sensation before and after surgery,and 30 mA during surgery.While sham TEAS with the intensity of sensory threshold was given to patients before and after surgery in group C.Patients in both groups received sufentanil,propofol and rocuronium for induction of anesthesia.Target controlled infusion of propofol and remifentanil was administered for maintenance of anesthesia.Patient-controlled intravenous anal-gesia (PCIA)was applied in both groups.No antiemetic was given to patients before and during sur-gery.Frequency of nausea or vomiting and any use of antiemetic for remediation were recorded after surgery.The postoperative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)score and analgesic dosage were also docu-mented.Results Compared to group C,the incidence of nausea immediately after surgery,6 h after surgery,24 h after surgery and 48 h after surgery were significantly lower in group E.The incidence of vomiting 24 h after surgery was significantly lower in group E.The VAS score 6h and 24 h after surgery were significantly lower in group E.The analgesic dosage 48 h after surgery were reduced in group E.There were no significant differences regarding the use of antiemetic for remediation between the two groups.Conclusion TEAS at Hegu-Neiguan-Houxi-Zhigou is effective for preventing PONV in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy.

Objective To investigate the influence of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting ( PONV) after radical mastectomy. Methods A total of 286 breast cancer patients, aged 18-60 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective modified radical mastectomy under general anesthesia in our hospital, were divided into either non?chemotherapy group ( n=106 ) or neoadjuvent chemotherapy group ( n=180 ) . General anesthesia was induced with iv propofol 2 mg∕kg, rocuronium 0. 6 mg∕kg and sufentanil 0. 2 μg∕kg. The patients were endotracheally intubated. The concentration of sevoflurane inhaled was adjusted according to the value of bispectral index, and bispectral index value was maintain at 40-50. Ondansetron 8 mg and flurbiprofen axetil 100 mg were injected intravenously at 30 min before the end of surgery. If vomiting occurred for 2 consecutive times, and continuous nausea and vomiting appeared from the time point after extubation to 24 h after surgery, and the patients required treatment, rescue medication was used. The occurrence and severity of PONVwithin 24 h after surgery and requirement for rescue medication were recorded. Results Compared with non?chemotherapy group, the incidence of PONV within 24 h after surgery and requirement for rescue medication were significantly increased, and the severity of PONV was aggravated in neoadjuvent chemotherapy group (P<0.05). Conclusion Neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery can increase the risk and severity of PONV after modified radical mastectomy.

Objective To explore the clinical value of expression levels of serum COX-2 in patients with advanced NSCLC before and after EGFR-TKI treatment. Methods The serum was collected from 58 cases. Before and after targeted therapy , the serum COX-2 level was examined by ELISA. Meanwhile , CT scan was exercised to evaluate the treatment. Follow-up interview was done. The relationship among the change in expression level of serum COX-2 , efficacy and PFS was analyzed. Results The serum COX-2 level significantly decreased in the response group (t = 11.258, P = 0.000) and increased in the PD group (t = -7.759, P =0.000) after EGFR-TKI treatment, and not significantly changed in the SD group (t = 1.424, P = 0.170). Before treatment, the baseline serum COX-2 level in the response group was significantly higher than that in the SD group and the PD group (F = 20.852, P = 0.000 ). Before the targeted therapy, the higher the level of serum COX-2 was, the longer PFS patients would enjoy. Conclusion Detection of the serum COX-2 contributes to the judgment of therapeutic effect of EGFR-TKI and can be used as a prediction of EGFR-TKI drugs outcomes for patients with advanced NSCLC.

This article was aimed to study the antioxidant and antihyperlipidemic effect of total phenolic composition prepared from pineapple (A nanas comosus L.) leave. It had a rapid absorption after intragastric administration and the principle ingredient, p-coumaric acid, reached the peak concentration after 5 minutes of administration. The mice model with single intragastric administration of lipid and glucose were used in the observation of changes on postprandial glucose, lipid and intestinal lipase at different time points after drug administration. The results showed that phenols of pineapple leave can inhibit triglyceride and glucose absorption in certain extent. No significant effect was observed on inhibition at 30 minutes after the phenol administration. However, the intestinal lipase activity was obviously inhibited in normal mice and the intestinal lipase activity decline caused by acute lipid consumption can be reversed. It was concluded that the phenols pineapple leave may inhibit the absorption of lipids with correlation to lipase activity. It had certain regulation effect on the high postprandial glucose and fat absorption.
