吸入麻醉药作用机制的5埃理论

在过去的20多年中，对吸入麻醉药作用机制的合理解释大量增多，同时也提出了更多目前还不能回答的问题。Eger等提出了吸入麻醉药产生对伤害性刺激无体动反应的作用靶位可能是两个相距5埃的位点的假设，简称5埃理论。现就相关问题作一综述。

Sparing of perceptual implicit memory despite suppression of the electrophysiological word repetition effect: a study with general anesthetic isoflurane.

OBJECTIVE: Much effort has been devoted to the search for the neurophysiological correlates of implicit memory. A commonly held view is that the early portion (250-500 ms) of the event-related potential (ERP) word repetition effect reflects processes important for perceptual implicit memory whereas the latter portion reflects processes implicated in explicit memory. It is, however, difficult to disentangle with certainty the relative contributions of each form of memory on ERPs since both forms co-exist in normal subjects. To dissociate ERP effect related to implicit and explicit memory, we used isoflurane sedation in normal subjects to suppress explicit remembering while sparing implicit memory. These ERPs were compared with those of non-medicated control subjects. METHODS: Thirteen subjects performed an incidental encoding task for words presented auditorily during the inhalation of a subanesthetic dose of isoflurane. After termination of isoflurane administration, we assessed free recall and recorded ERPs during a syllable completion task (implicit memory) and during a passive listening task (ERP repetition effect). Eleven non-medicated control subjects were tested in a similar manner. RESULTS: The controls showed robust early and late ERP repetition effect. The isoflurane group had implicit memory without free recall and showed no ERP repetition effect. CONCLUSIONS: These findings failed to show an association between any part of the repetition effect and perceptual implicit memory. The results are consistent with the view that processes linked to explicit memory contribute to the ERP repetition effect since there was a marked difference in free recall between the control and isoflurane groups. SIGNIFICANCE: The present study shows that the reversible alterations of memory by general anesthetics can be used to study the neurophysiological correlates of memory processes.     

挥发性麻醉药后处理保护缺血/再灌注心肌的研究进展

缺血后处理（ischemic postconditioning）是近年来提出的一种新的心肌保护方法，即心肌缺血后在长时间的再灌注之前，进行的数次短暂再灌注／缺血的循环。实验证明后处理对缺血心肌确有显著的保护作用。挥发性麻醉药后处理也可以发挥同样的保护效应，其机制比较复杂，远未阐明，现就其保护作用的机制作一综述。     

脂肪乳剂用于酰胺类局麻药毒性反应的救治

局麻药全身毒性反应发生率低,但其导致的并发症严重.动物和离体心脏的实验研究证明脂肪乳剂能快速逆转强效酰胺类局麻药导致的心血管系统衰竭.多例成功复苏酰胺类局麻药所致心脏停搏的报道显示,脂肪乳剂可成功逆转局麻药中毒所导致的心脏和中枢神经系统衰竭.脂肪乳救治局麻药中毒的机制可能通过两个途径共同作用:降低组织中的局麻药浓度和改善心肌细胞的能量代谢.     

Epidural block for obstetrics: Comparison of bolus injection of local anesthetic with gravity flow technique

Study Objective: To test the hypothesis that slow administration of local anesthetic into the epidural space by gravity flow reduces the incidence of signs and symptoms of unintended injection.

Design: Prospective, randomized study.

Setting: Teaching hospital.

Patients: 600 ASA physical status I and II parturients scheduled for labor and delivery or elective cesarean section.

Interventions: After identification of the epidural space with pulsations of an air-fluid column, parturients for vaginal delivery (n = 380) were randomized to receive a test dose of 3 ml 3% 2-chloroprocaine with epinephrine 20 μg, two doses of 7 ml bupivacaine 0.03 % with sufentanil 1 μg/ml and epinephrine 2 μg/ml by either gravity flow (Group 1) given over 30 seconds or by bolus injection (Group 2) given over 5 seconds through the epidural needle; parturients for Cesarean delivery (n = 220) were randomized to receive a test dose and two doses of 6 ml lidocaine 2 % with sufentanil 1 μg/ml and epinephrine 2 μg/ml by either gravity flow or by bolus injection through the epidural needle. Changes in maternal heart rate (HR) and blood pressure, signs of intravascular injection, and adverse effects of epidural bupivacaine-sufentanil were recorded after each dose.

Measurements and Main Results: Gravity flow administration (Group 1) was associated with a smaller increase in mean maternal HR (p < 0.001), less hypotension (p < 0.01), sedation (p < 0.01), nausea (p = 0.01), and segmental spread (p < 0.0001) than were corresponding doses given by traditional bolus injection (Group 1) for vaginal or Cesarean deliveries. The incidence of systemic toxicity was zero of 300 (0%) with gravity flow and 4 of 300 (1.3%) by bolus injection, p = 0.12, Fisher's exact test. No patient in either group had an accidental intrathecal injection.

Conclusion: Gravity flow administration of local anesthetic-opioid solution during epidural block for obstetrics was associated with fewer signs of systemic drug absorption and cardiovascular perturbations than was the traditional bolus injection. This study supports the current opinion that slow administration of local anesthetic during epidural black contributes to fewer adverse events.
