高压氧治疗对局灶性脑梗死大鼠的神经保护作用

目的 观察单次9 h高压氧（hyp erbaric oxygen，HBO）治疗对局灶性脑梗死大鼠凋亡诱导因子 （apoptosis-inducing factor，AIF）、线粒体膜电位（mitochondrial membrane potential，MMPo）的影响，探讨 HBO治疗的神经保护作用。 方法 108只SD大鼠制作永久性大脑中动脉闭塞模型，随机分为对照组和HBO组，每组各54只。造 模成功3 h后，HBO组实行HBO干预，压力0.2 MPa持续9 h，对照组呼吸常压空气。采用Garcia评分评估 大鼠神经功能，比较两组造模后13 h、24 h和72 h神经功能改善情况，并在各时间点检测大鼠缺血半 暗带脑组织凋亡细胞数、线粒体和细胞核AIF表达及MMPo水平。 结果 ①神经功能评分：HBO组13 h（P <0.001）、24 h（P =0.04）神经功能评分改善比对照组更明显。 ②凋亡细胞数：HBO组13 h、24 h凋亡细胞数较对照组更少（均P <0.001）。③AIF在线粒体和细胞核的 表达：13 h、24 h、72 h各时间点HBO组AI F在线粒体的表达均较对照组多（均P <0.001）；各时间点HBO 组AIF在细胞核的表达均较对照组少（均P <0.001）。④MMPo：各时间点HBO组MMPo均高于对照组（均 P <0.001）。 结论 HBO治疗可改善大鼠神经功能，稳定MMPo，抑制AIF由线粒体向细胞核转移可能是其神经保 护作用的机制之一。     

Successful Use of Surgically Placed Impella 5.0 and Central Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Circuit in a Patient with Postcardiotomy Shock

The Impella 5.0, a percutaneously inserted left ventricular assist device, has been used to support patients who have severe heart failure or who are undergoing high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention. We report our surgical placement of the Impella 5.0, through a graft sewn to the aorta, to unload the left ventricle of a 59-year-old man who was undergoing venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for postcardiotomy shock. The patient underwent successful placement of a long-term left ventricular assist device before his discharge from the hospital. The versatility of the Impella 5.0 is exemplified in this patient who was successfully bridged to long-term support.     

高压氧治疗对慢性脑缺血大鼠认知功能的影响及其作用机制

目的 探讨高压氧（hyperbaric oxygen，HBO）治疗对慢性脑缺血（chronic cerebral ischemia，CCI）大鼠 学习记忆能力的影响及其作用机制。 方法 选取240只雄性SD大鼠随机分为假手术组、CCI组和HBO组，每组80只。采用双侧颈总动脉阻 断法建立CCI模型，HBO组建模12 h后开始进行HBO治疗28 d，压力0.2 MPa，每日1次，每次60 mi n。采用 Morri s水迷宫实验评估7、14、21、28 d大鼠的学习记忆能力，每个时间点20只，检测前均进行3 d训练， 记录各组大鼠的逃避潜伏时间、穿越平台次数。28 d后处死大鼠取海马组织进行HE染色评估神经元 损伤病理变化，RT-PCR法检测Nogo-A mRNA，Western blot法检测Nogo-A蛋白的表达水平。 结果 ①与假手术组比较，CCI 组7、14、21、28 d逃避潜伏时间均延长（均P＜0.05），28 d跨越平台次 数减少（P＜0.05）；与CCI 组比较，HBO组7、14、21、28 d逃避潜伏时间均缩短（均P＜0.05），28 d跨越 平台次数增加（P＜0.05）。②HE染色显示HBO组神经元损伤程度较CCI组减轻；③CCI组Nogo-A mRNA 和Nogo-A蛋白表达水平均较假手术组升高（均P＜0.05），HBO组表达水平均较CCI组下降（P＜0.05）。 结论 HBO治疗可改善慢性脑缺血大鼠认知功能，其机制可能与下调海马组织中Nogo-A的表达水平 有关。     

Tracheal intubation

Tracheal intubation is the act of placing a tube into the trachea. The tube enables oxygen delivery and removal of carbon dioxide, while also allowing for the administration of pharmacological agents. Intubation is the most reliable method of maintaining an airway under anaesthesia, and for protection against aspiration of stomach contents. Traditionally, intubation is achieved by direct visualization of the glottis, but now indirect laryngoscopy (via a videolaryngoscope) is a common alternative. Prior to embarking upon intubation, a thorough patient history and examination must be undertaken by the laryngoscopist; equipment must be prepared and checked; a trained assistant present; and an experienced anaesthetist available in case assistance is required. Once the endotracheal tube has been placed, correct positioning must be confirmed via both clinical examination and monitoring, including capnography. Tracheal intubation is a procedure that should only be undertaken by trained operators and is not without risk. It is important to note that it is failure to oxygenate patients rather than failure to intubate that ultimately leads to serious morbidity and mortality. The Difficult Airway Society has produced guidelines on how to manage unanticipated difficulty in tracheal intubation; it is essential that every practitioner trained to intubate patients is familiar with these algorithms and the key principles of safe airway management.     

Delivery during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support of pregnant woman with severe respiratory distress syndrome caused by influenza: a case report and review of the literature

Objective: To report a case of labour induction during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in a patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by influenza and review of the literature.

Methods: Case report and the literature search of all English articles on delivery while on ECMO in patients with ARDS caused by influenza.

Results: A 25-year-old pregnant woman was initiated with ECMO due to severe ARDS caused by influenza A (H1N1) virus. When the patient had symptoms of colporrhagia and uterine contractions, the medical team decided to start labour induction while on ECMO. There were in total five case reports identified. Maternal oxygenation was improved after delivery and ECMO was successfully discontinued.

Conclusions: Maternal oxygenation was improved after delivery, which may be beneficial to reduce the duration of ECMO. Caesarean section (CS) may be the most used mode and labour induction could be another option. The procedure should be performed by an experienced ECMO team, cooperating with the obstetrician, anaesthesiologist, and ICU doctors.     

高压氧综合治疗糖尿病性胃轻瘫患者的疗效观察

目的观察高压氧（HBO）联合吗丁啉综合治疗对糖尿病性胃轻瘫患者胃动素及胃排空时间的影响。方法采用随机数字表法将2000年10月至2004年10月间连续人院的糖尿病性胃轻瘫患者112例随机分为高压氧组和对照组各46例，HBO组在给予吗丁啉（每次10mg，每天3次，连用4周）的基础上加用HBO治疗，HBO采用多人氧舱，在舱内停留120min，压力为0．25MPa（2．5ATA），戴面罩吸人纯氧60min（30min各2次，中间休息10min吸人舱内空气），10次为1个疗程，共3个疗程，每疗程间隔3～5d（排除HBO治疗禁忌证）。对照组为单纯吗丁啉，每次10mg，每天3次，连用4周。45d分别对两组患者治疗前后胃动素、空腹血糖、胃排空时间及症状的改善各项指标进行研究对比。结果HBO组和对照组总有效率分别为92．9％和76．8％，症状的改善、胃动素及胃排空时间治疗组均优于对照组，差异有显著性（P〈0．05）。结论糖尿病性胃轻瘫患者在服用吗丁啉的基础上应用HBO可降低胃动素、加速胃排空时间，对临床症状的改善具有积极作用。
