Neuromuscular block with vecuronium reduces the rapidly extracted auditory evoked potentials index during steady state anesthesia

PURPOSE: During clinical monitoring, vecuronium appeared to reduce the rapidly extracted auditory evoked potentials index (A-line ARX index or AAI) to some extent. A prospective and randomized study was designed to analyze this phenomenon. METHODS: Forty adult patients undergoing elective surgery were studied. After tracheal intubation, anesthesia was maintained with an end-tidal isoflurane concentration (F(ET)ISO) of 1.0% for 20 min, then a 10-mL dose of either vecuronium 0.05 mg*kg(-1), 0.1 mg*kg(-1), 0.2 mg*kg(-1) or saline was administered in a randomized, double-blind design. The AAI and bispectral index (BI(hx)) were monitored throughout the study and analyzed off-line. RESULTS: BI(hx) was unaltered after the administration of saline or vecuronium. The mean of the averaged (per patient) AAI values recorded from two minutes to ten minutes after the administration of saline or vecuronium 0.05 mg*kg(-1) did not differ significantly from the corresponding mean recorded from 15 min to 20 min after F(ET)ISO maintained 1.0% (P = 0.678, 0.169), however after the administration of vecuronium 0.1 mg*kg(-1) or 0.2 mg*kg(-1), AAI was reduced from 18.3, 18.0 to 14.8, 13.4 (P = 0.016, 0.017). CONCLUSIONS: Neuromuscular block with vecuronium reduces AAI in patients during steady state anesthesia without surgical stimuli, while BI(hx) is unaltered. The cut-off values of AAI for events should be determined according to the level of neuromuscular blockade when monitoring the depth of anesthesia/sedation.     

不同类型高危儿早期干预的临床研究

目的 探索早期干预对窒息、高胆、早产三类高危儿智力发育改善的效果，寻找更合适的早期干预措施。方法 将三类高危儿分为干预组及对照组，同时随机选取正常对照组进行随访。干预组采用鲍秀兰教授“0～3岁”早期干预方案训练，各组均在6个月、1岁时分别采用婴幼儿智能发育量表(CDCC)进行智力发育测评，结果用MDI、PDI表示。结果 (1)6个月龄时MDI各干预组与对照组间有显著性差异，窒息组、早产组与正常组间亦有显著性差异；高胆组与正常组间无差异；PDI窒息组中干预组与对照组之间有显著差异(P＜0．01)，高胆组、早产组均无差异(P＞0．05)。(2)1岁时MDI和PDI结果一致，干预组与对照组间比较窒息组、高胆组有显著差异，早产组无差异；窒息组、高胆组干预组与正常组比较无差异，对照组和早产组与正常组比较均有显著差异(P＜0．01)。(3)所有干预组测评分值均高于对照组，6个月与1岁之间比较有显著差异，各观察组间比较有显著性差异(P＜0．01)。结论 三类高危儿早期干预效果差异较大，干预组均较对照组分值高，早期干预有改善智力发育的作用；三类高危儿中，窒息组、高胆组效果最好，均达到或超过正常水平。所有未干预组均不及正常水平；早期干预对足月高危儿效果显著，对早产儿欠佳，远期效果尚需进一步随访观察。     

儿童阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征的治疗

目的探讨儿童阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征(obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome，OSAHS)患儿的治疗方法和疗效观察。方法经多道睡眠监测(polysomnography，PSG)确诊的4～12岁OSAHS患儿59例：扁桃体切除和(或)经口内镜(内窥镜，下同)引导下腺样体刮除54例；选择长期正压通气治疗(continue positive airway pressure，CPAP)2例；保守治疗3例。采用儿童OSAHS生活质量调查表(quality of life for children with obstructive sleep apnea 18 items，OSA-18)对患儿进行治疗前后的随访。结果围手术期无术后出血、急性呼吸道梗阻发生。随访12～18个月，手术患儿无鼻咽闭锁、咽鼓管功能障碍、腺样体残留等并发症；OSA-18调查评分显示：治疗后76．3％(45例)的患儿生活质量总体指标，88．1％(52例)的患儿睡眠呼吸障碍，67．8％(40例)的患儿身体症状得到显著改善。长期CPAP治疗的有效治疗压力在5．6～7．8cm H2O左右。3例保守治疗者略有改善。结论手术切除引起上气道阻塞的肥大的扁桃体和(或)腺样体是儿童OSAHS有效的治疗手段之一，纤维鼻咽镜检查、头颅侧位X线摄片有助于手术适应证的确定。经口内镜引导下腺样体刮除术具有直视下操作，视野清晰，切除彻底，可避免损伤周围重要结构的特点。

运动性中枢疲劳及乳酸对大鼠大脑皮质神经细胞MCT mRNA表达的影响

目的:探讨运动性中枢疲劳时大鼠大脑皮质MCT1、MCT2mRNA表达的变化以及乳酸对大鼠大脑皮质神经元MCT2mRNA表达的影响。方法:12只Wistar大鼠随机分为对照组和力竭训练1周组,每组6只。通过7天力竭训练建立中枢疲劳模型,观察中枢疲劳时大鼠大脑皮质MCT1、MCT2mR-NA表达变化;采用原代培养的大鼠大脑皮质神经元,观察不同浓度乳酸作用后大鼠大脑皮质神经元MCT2mRNA表达的变化。采用Trizol法提取大脑皮质和神经元总RNA;用SYBRAgreenI荧光定量RT-PCR测定MCT1及MCT2mRNA表达变化。结果:整体水平:力竭训练1周组MCT1mRNA表达无明显变化,而MCT2mRNA表达较对照组显著升高6·35±3·54倍(P<0·05)。细胞水平:乳酸作用后,神经元MCT2mRNA表达在pH=7·25时较对照组(pH=7·35组)升高3·08±2·38倍(P<0·05)。但随着乳酸浓度进一步升高,MCT2mRNA表达无明显增加。结果提示,中枢疲劳可能引发大脑皮质神经元MCT2mRNA表达升高,MCT2基因表达可能与乳酸在中枢疲劳中的作用有关。     

双极射频电热固缩治疗前交叉韧带松弛临床研究

目的:对15例前交叉韧带双极射频电热固缩治疗进行回顾性研究,评估其临床疗效。方法:从2000年1月至2005年1月采用双极射频对16例前交叉韧带松弛的患者进行电热固缩治疗。完整随访者15例,男性11例,女性4例,平均年龄29岁。12例前交叉韧带部分损伤,3例为自体绳肌重建术后。电热射频设备输出功率为284W,组织内作用温度为65℃。术后患者采用支具制动,康复计划与前交叉韧带重建术后基本相同。结果:随访时间平均15·6个月(4~25个月)。Lysholm评分,术前74·27±5·51分(66~84分),术后3个月89·6±7·11分(72~99分),两者相比有显著性差异(P<0·01);术后最终评分83·33±11·81分(56~95分),虽仍显著高于术前评分(P<0·05),但与术后3个月比较有所降低。KT-1000测量结果,术前两侧胫骨前移差值为5·47mm±1·61mm(3·5mm~10mm),术后3个月为2·67mm±1·35mm(2~7mm),与术前测量值对比存在显著性差异(P<0·01);最终测量结果为3·8mm±1·96mm(2~9mm),虽仍显著低于术前测量值(P<0·05),但较术后3个月有所增加。所有患者均未出现明显的术后并发症。2例患者(13·3%)术后失效,接受了二期重建手术。结论:电热固缩治疗前交叉韧带松弛可获得较好的短期主、客观疗效,但长期随访疗效有所下降。建议慎重选择手术适应症。     

Immunomodulators from Paris formosana Hayata.

Eight glycosides PF-1 to PF-8 were isolated from the leaves and stems of Paris formosana Hayata (Liliaceae), of which PF-3 (III) was the main compound. It was found that PF-1 to PF-3 (I-III) caused proliferative responses of mouse lymphocytes to concanavalin A and augmentation of mouse granulocyte/macrophage colony forming cells in mouse fibroblast cell L929 conditioned medium. PF-4(IV) and PF-8 showed significant immunomodulatory effects with very low toxicity: they not only caused the same immune responses as PF-1, 2 & 3 but also enhanced the proliferative response of human peripheral whole blood to phytohemagglutinin. PF-5 (V) also increased 3H-thymidine incorporation in ConA-stimulated lymphocytes and in PHA-stimulated human peripheral whole blood, and enhanced the proliferative response of granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating activity. PF-6(VI) and PF-7(VII) augmented 3H-thymidine incorporation in granulocyte/macrophage colony-forming cells and mitogenic response of PHA-stimulated human peripheral whole blood cells from healthy adults. However, PF-1, 2 and 3 showed hemolytic action, while PF-4 to PF-8 had no hemolytic action at all. On the other hand, the hemolytic action of PF-3 derivatives was reduced as compared with PF-3 but their immune responses did not equal those of PF-3, only showing granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating activity.     

Status and trend of HIV-1 infection and AIDS in Taiwan, December, 1991.

From May 1, 1985 to December 31, 1991, a total of 4,962,707 serum samples from 8 population groups in Taiwan were tested for anti-human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (anti-HIV-1). In total, 256 samples were seropositive; of these individuals, 43 developed acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS): 29 were homosexuals; 5 were hemophiliacs; 8 were heterosexuals and 1 was of unknown risk. Although the prevalence of HIV-1 infection and AIDS remains low compared with other countries, since 1988 the increase has been rapid. Before 1977 the majority were homosexuals and hemophiliacs; thereafter the risk groups diversified, with a trend away from homosexuals and hemophiliacs towards heterosexuals and intravenous drug abusers (IVDAs). A few patients have caused serious social problems for the public, health care workers and families. Active community efforts are needed to achieve future success in the control of HIV-1 infection and AIDS in Taiwan.     

超细纤维乳管镜引导下乳管内肿瘤切除术

目的探讨超细纤维乳管镜引导下乳管内肿瘤切除术的应用价值。方法对312例乳头溢液进行乳管镜检查，其中乳管内发现肿瘤者行手术治疗。利用乳管镜冷光源的皮肤透照点定象限，乳管扩张器探针定乳管走行方向，亚甲蓝染色定乳管末梢的分布。结果78例导管内发现肿瘤：单发性乳头状瘤68例，乳头状瘤病5例，导管内癌5例。28．2％（22／78）的病灶位于总导管，48．7％（38／78）位于导管Ⅰ级分支，17．9％（14／78）位于Ⅱ级分支，位于Ⅲ级和Ⅳ级分支病灶仅占3．8％（3／78）和1．3％（1／78）。病灶距乳头开口的平均距离为2．5cm（1～5cm）。78例均行手术治疗。术后病理诊断证实：65例乳头状瘤，8例乳头状瘤病，5例为导管内癌。乳管镜诊断符合率：乳头状瘤96％（65／68），乳头状瘤病100％（5／5），导管内癌100％（5／5）。单纯导管切除术65例，区段切除术8例，保乳根治术3例，改良根治术2例。结论通过光、针、色三位一体的方法定位以最小的切除范围达到最准确的切除目的，实现乳管内肿瘤的微创治疗。
