OBJECTIVETo evaluate the influence of small-dose dexmedetomidine infusion on recovery of patients undergoing vertebral operation.

METHODSSixty ASA I-II patients undergoing vertebral operation were randomly divided into two groups (n=30). In group I, dexmedetomidine infusion was pumped at the rate of 0.5 µg·kg(-1)·h(-1) from tracheal intubation to incision suture, and in group II, 0.9%saline was pumped instead. The mean arterial pressure, heart rate, Riker Sedation-Agitation Scale and Ramesay sedation score were recorded at the time points of autonomous respiration (T1), eye opening (T2), extubation (T3), 1 min after extubation (T4), 10 min after extubation (T5), and 30 min after extubation (T6).

RESULTSThe recovery time of autonomous respiration and eye opening time in group I were significantly longer than those in group II, and the extubation time was significantly shorter in group I (P<0.05). Riker Sedation-Agitation Scale scores in group II were significantly higher than those in group I at T2 and T4, and Ramesay sedation scores in group I were significantly higher than those in group II at T1, T2 and T5 (P<0.05). The mean arterial pressure and heart rate at each time point was significantly lower in group I than in group II (P<0.05), especially at T3 and T4 (P<0.01). In both groups, the mean arterial pressure and heart rate at T3 and T4 were significantly higher than those at rest (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSSmall-dose dexmedetomidine infusion can reduce dysphoria and lower the risks during recovery from general anesthesia following vertebral operation.

Objective To investigate the relationship between clinical presentation and pathological characteristics in HBeAg negative chronic hepatitis B(CHB) patients with steatosis, and to find out the predictors of hepatic inflammation and fibrosis. Methods HgeAg negative CHB patients with (n=56) or without (n=60) steatosis confirmed clinically and pathologically were enrolled in the study. All patients were examined for fasting blood glucose(FBG), fasting insulin (FINS), triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (TC), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyhransferase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) albumin (Alb), globulin(Glb), homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), HBV-DNA and body mass index(BMI). The association of above parameters with hepatic inflammation, fibrosis and fatty deposition were analyzed statistically. Results It was demonstrated that BMI, FBG, FINS, TG, TC, GGT, ALP , Glb and HOMA-IR were significantly higher in HBeAg negative CHB patients with steatosis than those without steatosis (P<0.05). Whereas the levels of HBV-DNA, Alb, ALT and AST were significantly lower in HBeAg negative CHB patients with steatosis compared with those without steatosis (P<0.05). The hepatic inflammation and fibrosis were aggravated in patients with steatosis. It was implicated that BMI,FBG, FINS, TG, TC, GGT and HOMA-IR(all P values 0.05) were significant predictors for hepatic steatosis, while ALT, AST, Glb and HBV-DNA(all P values <0.05) were significant predictors for hepatic inflammation. And the predictors for hepatic fibrosis were ALT, AST, Alb, Glb and HBV-DNA(all P values <0.05). Conclusions Hepatic steatosis is common in HBeAg negative CHB patients which is positively associated with parameters including BMI, FBG, FINS, TG, TC, GGT, ALP and HOMA-IR. Besides steatosis, the hepatic inflammation and fibrosis are also aggravated in these patients.
