QT prolongation under sevoflurane in infants

Introduction   QT interval prolongation may cause the potentially lethal tachyarrhythmia torsades de pointes ( 1 ). The cause of the QT interval prolongation may be a congenital mutation in genes encoding cardiac potassium and sodium channels ( 2 ) or be acquired following drug administration ( 3 ) or metabolic disorders ( 4 ). Among a few other drugs volatile anaesthetics prolong the QT interval. During the last few years sevoflurane has become the most used volatile anaesthetic for the induction of anaesthesia in infants.
Methods   This investigation, on infants aged from 1 to 6 months, was approved by the institutional ethic committee. Thirty-six otherwise healthy infants due to elective surgery were included in our study The patients were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. Group S ( n  = 24) was anaesthetised with sevoflurane, Group H was anaesthetised with halothane. ECG recordings were taken before the anaesthesia onset, 15 min after the first contact with the volatile anaesthetic and 60 min after the ending of the volatile gas exposition. QTc interval was calculated using the Bazett's formula ( 5 ).
Results   QTc interval was significantly ( P < 0.0002) (Table 1) lengthened 15 min after anaesthesia induction with sevoflurane as well as 60 min ( P < 0.01) after the ending of the gas exposition without any difference in age and gender. The QTc interval in patients anaesthetised with halothane did not show any significant change.

Several studies have demonstrated that neuropeptides are present in peptidergic fibres of bronchial tissue. The aim of the present study was to evaluate in vivo the effect of nedocromil sodium (2 x 2 mg) on bronchospasm induced by inhalation of substance P. Six moderate asthmatic patients, mean age 25.17 years, were studied. Airway response was measured as FEV1 and the dose of substance P (using a dose range of 23-736 nmol) producing a 20% decrease in FEV1 (PD20) was calculated from the individual semilogarithmic dose-response curves. Patients were studied on 3 separate days in a randomized, double-blind manner. On the first day a baseline PD20 value was determined. On subsequent days substance P challenge was performed after pretreatment (20 min before challenge) with either placebo or nedocromil sodium. Student's paired t-test and Wilcoxon's test were used for statistical analysis. The results of this study demonstrated that inhalation of substance P causes a dose-dependent bronchoconstriction and that the bronchoconstriction induced by substance P can be prevented by pre-treatment with nedocromil sodium.

Human interleukin 4 regulates the phenotype of lymphocytes generated during mixed lymphocyte culture and inhibits the IL-2-induced development of LAK function in normal and leukaemic cells   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

This study examined the immunoregulatory role of recombinant interleukin 4 (IL-4), also known as B-cell stimulating factor 1, on the generation of cytotoxic effector cells from normal and leukaemic human blood mononuclear cells. When tested on cells from normal individuals, the addition of IL-4 to mixed lymphocyte cultures led to a dose-dependent proliferation of T-helper cells (CD3, 4 positive) with a concomitant decrease in phenotypic and functional cytotoxic T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. IL-4 also inhibited the interleukin-2 (IL-2)-induced generation of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) activity when added at the beginning of mixed lymphocyte culture. When tested on mature leukaemic NK cells, IL-4 also inhibited the ability of IL-2 to induce LAK function using a short-term culture system. These results show that IL-4 acts on both normal and leukaemic cells and suggests that it acts at more than one level during the development of LAK function.

OBJECTIVE: evaluation and comparison of the endovascular treatment of isolated aortic and aortoiliac atherosclerotic lesions (stenoses and occlusions). METHODS: a percutaneous endovascular procedure was performed in 52 patients (38 men and 14 women) with a mean age of 52 years (range, 25-85 years). The baseline angiogram showed 35 aortic lesions (31 stenoses, 4 occlusions) and 17 aortoiliac lesions (14 stenoses, 3 occlusions). Percutaneous techniques used in this series included variable combinations of transluminal angioplasty and stenting. All stents placements were performed over-the-wire using the transfemoral route (most often bilateral approach). Clinical examination and Duplex-scan were performed at discharge, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months, and then yearly. RESULTS: technical success was 100% for aortic and aortoiliac lesions. Angiographic success rates were comparable for aortic (91%) and aortoiliac (94%) lesions. No death occurred during or early after the endovascular intervention. Duplex-scan confirmed 100% patency rate at discharge. There was no significant difference between the aortic (94%) and aortoiliac (96%) groups regarding immediate clinical improvement. Mean follow-up was 34+/-31 months (range, 0-130 months). The cumulative primary patency rate at 36 months was 85% in the aortic group and 86% in the aortoiliac group. Clinical success, defined as a symptom-free status at the end of follow-up, was also similar in both groups. CONCLUSION: endovascular treatment of isolated aortic lesions of the infra-renal aorta has favorable outcomes comparable to those of aortoiliac lesions.
