A comparative study on therapeutic method of traumatic epidural hematoma

Objective： To explore the therapeutic methods, surgical indications and clinical practice of minimally invasive surgery on traumatic epidural hematoma （EDH）. Methods： Retrospective study was made on 135 patients with traumatic EDH admitted into our hospital from June 2002 to August 2005. Sixty-five patients were treated with mini-invasive negative pressure drainage （treatment group）, 70 patients with comparable condition used traditional craniotomy （control group ）. The mean time of operation, average days in hospital, expenditure and prognosis of two groups were recorded and analyzed. Results： There was no significant difference in therapeutic efficacy between two groups. Patients in treatment group had a shorter hospital stay and less expenditure than those in control group. Conclusion： Mini-invasive negative pressure drainage is simple, effective, economical and applicable to some traumatic EDH patients.     

Oesophageal atresia: caudo-thoracic epidural anaesthesia reduces the need for post-operative ventilatory support

The mortality of neonates with oesophageal atresia in the Third World remains high because of delays in presentation and diagnosis. Lack of appropriate intensive care facilities is a further contributing factor. Caudothoracic epidural anaesthesia was used during surgical repair of oesophageal atresia in 35 patients in an attempt to minimise the need for post-operative ventionally support. This group was compared with 36 patients whose surgery was performed under general anaesthesia. The age at the time of referral, sex ratio, and weight were comparable in both groups. Using the Waterson classification, a greater number of poorer prognostic patients were seen in the epidural group (P <0.02). In all Waterson risk categories fewer patients required ventionally support post-operatively, which was statistically significant (P <0.01) when all categories were combined. We are encouraged by our results and believe this technique has a rôle in the management of neonates undergoing major surgery, both where neonatal intensive care exist or is deficient as in many parts of the Third World.     

Intercostal catheterization

Twenty-one patients scheduled to undergo thoracotomy or median sternotomy had intercostal catheters inserted pre-operatively. During thoracotomy, under direct vision, the spread of 20 ml of a solution containing bupivacaine and methylene blue was followed. In most cases the spread involved one or two intercostal spaces. However, in all but one patient, dye spread medially to the paravertebral space where it then spread in both caudad and cephalad directions to reach between two and five vertebrae. In three cases, dye was seen crossing the anterior surface of the vertebrae to reach the contralateral aspect. It is concluded that a major component of dermatomal block during intercostal catheterisations may be secondary to paravertebral spread.     

Epidural Spinal Cord Infiltration: A Rare Complication of Acute Myeloblastic Leukaemia

Epidural infiltration by leukemic cells in Acute Non Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ANLL), and extradural granulocytic sarcomas as a cause of spinal cord compression are extremely rare phenomena. Very few cases have been recorded in the literature. In this brief case report we describe a young patient with acute myeloblastic leukemia (M4, FAB) who presented with sudden spinal cord compression during relapse after bone marrow transplantation. The literature on this subject is also reviewed.     

Comparison of circulatory and respiratory responses between supplementary epidural buprenorphine and eptazocine administration during and immediately after total intravenous anesthesia

Opioid supplements are often required in total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA). Most ϰ-opiate receptors are found in the spinal cord, wherea μ-opiate receptors are widespread throughout the brain and spinal cord. Buprenorphine has a strong μ-action with a minute ϰ-action, while eptazocine stimulates ϰ-receptors only. From these, epidural eptazocine is expected to exert strong spinal analgesia by ϰ-stimulation without μ-action, which produces circulatory and respiratory depression. Therefore, the clinical effects of epidural opioids on circulation, respiration, and analgesia were compared. Continuous epidural administration of eptazocine or buprenorphine was combined with TIVA in patients scheduled for elective abdominal surgery. Epidural opioid administration was continued throughout and for 72h after anesthesia. A significant analgesic effect (P<0.01) of epidural eptazocine without circulatory and respiratory depression was observed. With epidural buprenorphine, circulatory and respiratory depression during and immediately after anesthesia were significant (P<0.05). These results suggest that medullary μ-stimulation by an epidural opioid induces circulatory (hypervagotonicity and hypervagosensitivity) and respiratory depression, while ϰ-stimulation produces only minimal effects on circulatory and respiratory systems.     

缬沙坦与苯那普利拉对SHR肾小球系膜细胞的保护作用

目的：观察ARB－valsartan及ACEI－benazeprilat能否抑制由AngⅡ、PDGF引起的SHR肾小球系膜细胞的增殖与肥大。且比较单用时作用孰强孰弱，联合应用后有无协同效应。方法；采用经典SHR系膜细胞培养技术，细胞中加入各种因子和（或）药物，以^3H-leucine或^3H-thymidine掺入后的cpm值反映蛋白或DNA合成。采用t test检验差异的显著性。结果：1、系膜细胞在AngⅡ、PDGF刺激后引起的增殖与肥大，均可被valsartan及benazeprilat抑制。2、比较发现单一用药在同一浓度下，valsartan较benazeprilat能更有效地抑制细胞的增殖与肥大。3、联合用药在同一浓度valsartan benazeprilat均比单用valsartan或benazeprilat效果明显。结论：1、valsartan与benazeprilat均能抑制SHR系膜细胞的增殖与肥大。2、valsartan在抗系膜细胞增殖与肥大作用稍强于benazeprilat。3、在一定浓度条件下联合用药对抗系膜细胞的增殖与肥大作用，较单一用药效果明显。
