Long QT interval syndrome with increased QT dispersion

This case report describes the anaesthetic management of a patient with sporadic-type long QT interval syndrome (LQTS), and increased QT dispersion, who presented for removal of an ovarian cyst. Beta adrenergic blockade and adequate depth of anaesthesia for successful management is emphasized. The Successful use of epidural administration of lignocaine and opioids in addition to general anaesthesia is described.     

Local analgesic and vascular effects of intradermal ropivacaine and bupivacaine in various concentrations with and without addition of adrenaline in man

Ropivacaine, a new long–acting amino–amide local anaesthetic agent, and bupivacaine, in various concentrations with or without addition of adrenaline, were tested in a randomized, double–blind study using intradermal wheals. Ten non–smoking, healthy, young male volunteers participated. In series I plain solutions of ropivacaine (0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1%) and bupivacaine (0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75%) were injected intradermally and in series II the same concentrations, with the addition of adrenaline 5 ug ml^-1 ( 1 :200 000), were used. The same volunteers took part in both series, with an interval of at least three weeks between the experiments. Saline was included as control in both series. Pin–pricking was used to assess the dermal analgesia. Plain solutions of ropivacaine produced significantly longer durations of dermal analgesia than did plain solutions of bupivacaine, in all tested concentrations. A significant increase in duration was seen for both local anaesthetics when adding adrenaline. Local vascular effects at the injected areas were determined by visual inspection (nil, pink, pale). Local blanching (pale) was significantly more frequent for plain solutions of ropivacaine, in all tested concentrations. Local redness (pink) was significantly more frequent with plain bupivacaine, in a dose–dependent relation. An initial redness was frequently observed for both local anaesthetics containing adrenaline, followed by blanching at most sites.     

四季鹅下丘脑单位放电的研究

实验利用慢性微电极技术观察了清醒活动四季鹅(产蛋期鹅和休产期鹅)下丘脑细胞自发放电及第Ⅱ脑室注入去甲肾上腺素(NE)对单位放电的影响.结果表明无论是产蛋期鹅还是休产期鹅.其下丘脑放电均以中频为主,但产蛋期鹅高频放电高于休产期鹅.放电有单个连续、束状、组群式等3种形式,无论是产蛋期鹅还是休产期鹅,其下丘脑均以单个连续放电为主,但产蛋期鹅组群式放电高于休产期鹅.第Ⅱ脑室注入NE后,75%的单位放电数增加,25%的单位放电数减少.     

提高抗肝癌药物的肝脏浓度并降低心脏,血液浓度的实验研究

实验研究结果表明：阿霉素（ＡＤＭ）在采用推进法注射时，经肝血管或外周静脉途径二者的肝、心与血液浓度均无显著差别．如采用控速缓慢输注法，则经肝血管较经外周静脉在提高肝脏浓度方面具有显著效果，心脏内浓度也有一定程度降低。如在肝血管内输注时与血液净化联合应用，则更能提高上述要求。以上结果将为临床抗癌药介入治疗应用方法的开展提供依据和参考价值。

The Effect of 50 Hz External Electrical Interference on Implanted Cardiac Pacemakers

The effects of injected 50 Hz alternating current on the function of cardiac pacemakers has been observed in 18 patients with implanted unipolar VVI units. Current, in the range 0-600 microA was applied via electrodes attached to the patients' upper body and feet and fed from a specially designed current injection unit at the bedside. Most implanted pacemakers reverted to interference mode in the current range 29-250 microA. At current levels just below the reversion current all units developed irregular and inappropriate pacing. This current level was pacemaker dependent and varied in the range 27-246 microA. The total reversion current depended on the location of the injecting electrodes and on the patients' posture. The sensitivity of the units to injected interference was increased by deep inspiration. Temporary pacing catheters fitted to an additional ten patients were used to monitor the interference voltage which would be sensed by an implanted unit. This voltage was similarly dependent on patient posture and on deep respiration. Current injection has proved to be a safe, controllable and reproducible method of testing the sensitivity of implanted pacemakers to 50 Hz external interference.     

Sulphanilic acid: divergent results in the guinea pig maximization test and the local lymph node assay

The guinea pig maximization test (GPMT) has proven to be a valuable tool for the identification of the skin sensitization potential of chemicals. The method identifies a hazard which can lead in the EC to compulsory labelling of that chemical. In the present study, data on sulphanilic acid derived from the GPMT has been compared with results from a second guinea pig assay (the cumulative contact enhancement test) and the murine local lymph node assay, both of which require only topical application of chemical. Except for the GPMT, no test identified any sensitizing activity associated with exposure to sulphanilic acid. These latter results are consistent with the experience gained from substantial human exposure in an occupational setting and from which no cases of allergic contact dermatitis to sulphanilic acid have arisen over a 20-year period. In consequence, it is questioned which test protocol in practice has given the more accurate identification of sensitization hazard relevant to man.
