Regional anaesthesia in ambulatory surgery

Regional anaesthesia provides many advantages and can be practised safely in ambulatory surgery. It provides better postoperative pain control, avoids many complications associated with general anaesthesia and shortens recovery time. However, extra time required, associated complications and acceptance of patients are the factors of concern in practising regional anaesthesia in an ambulatory setting. This review will discuss various regional anaesthesia techniques suitable for outpatients.     

骨骼肌钝挫伤后愈合质量的肌电评价

目的 :观察大鼠骨骼肌钝挫伤后 ,不同干预方法对骨骼肌修复过程中肌电信号的影响 ,研究肌电图在骨骼肌损伤愈合过程中的评价作用。方法 :10 8只雄性SD大鼠 ,利用自制的重物坠落打击装置造成右侧腓肠肌钝挫伤。随机分成 3组 ,即胰岛素样生长因子 - 1(IGF - 1)组、中药组和自然愈合组 ,分别于损伤局部注射IGF - 1、黄芪丹参注射液、不作处理。于伤后第 2、5、7、10、14、2 1、2 8、35、5 6天观察并比较双侧腓肠肌的肌电图变化 ,记录纤颤电位和正尖波等自发活动 ,分析复合肌肉动作电位 (CMAP)并测量其潜伏期和波幅 ,观察伤后CMAP的变化。结果 :(1)各组大鼠均于伤后第 2～ 5天出现纤颤电位和正尖波 ,约至第 7～ 10天达到高峰 ,然后逐渐减少。以IGF - 1组最早消失 ,中药组次之。 (2 )各组大鼠的伤侧肌电图CMAP中的潜伏期逐渐缩短 ,波幅逐渐增高。以IGF - 1组最快 ,中药组次之 ,自然愈合组最慢。 (3)伤后第 8周 ,IGF - 1组和中药组大鼠损伤侧CMAP波幅接近正常 ,自然愈合组则显著低于其它两组。结论 :(1)肌电图检测证实 ,IGF - 1和黄芪丹参注射液均具有促进骨骼肌损伤愈合的作用 ,但以IGF - 1的作用更明显。 (2 )损伤肌肉局部肌电信号的变化 ,可以用来评价损伤骨骼肌的修复进程和愈合质量

Genome-wide scan identified QTLs underlying femoral neck cross-sectional geometry that are novel studied risk factors of osteoporosis.

A genome-wide screen was conducted using a large white sample to identify QTLs for FNCS geometry. We found significant linkage of FNCS parameters to 20q12 and Xq25, plus significant epistatic interactions and sex-specific QTLs influencing FNCS geometry variation. INTRODUCTION: Bone geometry, a highly heritable trait, is a critical component of bone strength that significantly determines osteoporotic fracture risk. Specifically, femoral neck cross-sectional (FNCS) geometry is significantly associated with hip fracture risk as well as genetic factors. However, genetic research in this respect is still in its infancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To identify the underlying genomic regions influencing FNCS variables, we performed a remarkably large-scale whole genome linkage scan involving 3998 individuals from 434 pedigrees for four FNCS geometry parameters, namely buckling ratio (BR), cross-sectional area (CSA), cortical thickness (CT), and section modulus (Z). The major statistical approach adopted is the variance component method implemented in SOLAR. RESULTS: Significant linkage evidence (threshold LOD = 3.72 after correction for tests of multiple phenotypes) was found in the regions of 20q12 and Xq25 for CT (LOD = 4.28 and 3.90, respectively). We also identified eight suggestive linkage signals (threshold LOD = 2.31 after correction for multiple tests) for the respective geometry traits. The above findings were supported by principal component linkage analysis. Of them, 20q12 was of particular interest because it was linked to multiple FNCS geometry traits and significantly interacted with five other genomic loci to influence CSA variation. The effects of 20q12 on FNCS geometry were present in both male and female subgroups. Subgroup analysis also revealed the presence of sex-specific quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for FNCS traits in the regions such as 2p14, 3q26, 7q21 and 15q21. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings laid a foundation for further replication and fine-mapping studies as well as for positional and functional candidate gene studies, aiming at eventually finding the causal genetic variants and hidden mechanisms concerning FNCS geometry variation and the associated hip fractures.     

Intravenous Gammaglobulin (IVIG): A Novel Approach to Improve Transplant Rates and Outcomes in Highly HLA-Sensitized Patients

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) products are derived from pooled human plasma and have been used for the treatment of primary immunodeficiency disorders for more than 24 years. Shortly after their introduction, IVIG products were also found to be effective in the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. Over the past 2 decades, the list of diseases where IVIG has a demonstrable beneficial effect has grown rapidly. These include Kawasaki disease, Guillain-Barre syndrome, myasthenia gravis, dermatomyositis and demyelinating polyneuropathy. Recently, we have described a beneficial effect on the reduction of anti-HLA antibodies with subsequent improvement in transplantation of highly HLA-sensitized patients as well as a potent anti-inflammatory effect that is beneficial in the treatment of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). These advancements have enabled transplantation of patients previously considered untransplantable. These studies and relevant mechanism(s) of action will be discussed here.

Effects of Activated Complement on Lung Fluid Exchange in Conscious Goats:Role of Superoxide Anion

The effects of zymosan-activated plasma(ZAP)on lung fluid exchangeand on superoxide anion production by granulocytes were studied in 8 consciousgoats with chronic lung lymph fistula,It was found that after ZAP infusion, thecirculating granulocytes were activated and the release of superoxide anions wasmarkedly enhanced. There was an increase in lung lymph flow and proteinconcentration.It suggests that the superoxide anion released by the stimulatedgranulocytes can play a role in inducing lung injury by the activated complement.
