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.     

Modulation of infection-induced inflammation and locomotive deficit and longevity in senescence-accelerated mice-prone (SAMP8) model by the oligomerized polyphenol Oligonol.

Oligonol is produced from the oligomerization of polyphenols (typically proanthocyanidin from a variety of fruits such as lychees, grapes, apples, persimmons, etc.) and contains catechin-type monomers and oligomers of proanthocyanidins. The ability of Oligonol to affect infection-dependent eye inflammation, locomotion and longevity in senescence-accelerated prone mice (SAMP8) (a model of senescence acceleration and geriatric disorders with increased oxidative stress and neuronal deficit) was investigated. Oligonol (60mg/kg) significantly modulated the extent of inflammation scores in the eye of SAMP8 mice. Examination of the mice indicated infection with mouse hepatitis virus and pinworm (Syphacia obvelata) in both males and females and with the intestinal protozoa (trichomonad) in males. A comparison of the two groups (using log-rank test) and the difference in the mean life span between groups (using Student's t-test) indicated significant differences in survival (p=0.043) and the mean life span (p=0.033) in male SAMP8 mice. Oligonol increased the mean life span and this was statistically significant. In the open-field locomotive test, the 7-week-old SAMP8 mice crossed more than 40 partitioned lines in 1min. At 48-week-old control untreated male SAMP8 crossed 2 lines. The Oligonol-treated 48-week-old male SAMP8 mice crossed 17 lines however. The improved locomotive activity was statistically significant even after 36weeks in the Oligonol-treated male SAMP8 but this was not the case throughout the time course of the study in the Oligonol-treated female SAMP8. Thus Oligonol treatment to SAMP8 mice modulated the severity of infection-dependent inflammation, prolonged life-span and significantly improved locomotive activity indicating potential benefit to aging-associated diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's diseases. This presents potential for further research to define infection-dependent inflammation associated with degenerative conditions and the molecular mechanism of dietary antioxidant protection.

几种抗癌药对HL—60细胞在小鼠肾囊膜下生长的抑制作用

以纤维蛋白凝块为HL-60细胞支持物,将其接种于正常和免疫抑制小鼠肾囊膜下,观察其增殖特性和生长特点。结果HL-60细胞纤维蛋白凝块在免疫排斥反应出现前的正常小鼠肾囊膜下,体积增殖5倍左右;在免疫抑制小鼠肾囊膜下,增殖15倍左右。组织切片发现,在肾囊膜下生长6d细胞密度明显增加,生长细胞沿肾囊膜向四周侵润,肿瘤细胞切面面积明显扩大,且生长细胞仍保持HL-60细胞的形态特点。维甲酸(RA)、维胺酸(RⅡ)及三尖杉酯碱等药物可明显抑制HL-60细胞的生长。

烧伤感染的现状、对策与防治新动向

1 烧伤感染的现状2006年6月在昆山召开的第四届全国烧伤救治专题研讨会上,不同地区的烧伤中心或单位提供的微生物学调查资料中有不少共同点,其中很主要的一点就是:铜绿假单胞菌和金黄色葡萄球菌仍是烧伤检出菌中的主要细菌,也是我国近50年来大面积深度烧伤救治工作中难以清除的病原菌,不变中的变化是其耐药性不断增长。甲氧西林耐药金黄色葡萄球菌因被专门命名,人们对其认识较深刻,而革兰阴性杆菌耐药性的快速增长也不容忽视。革兰阴性杆菌对许多抗生素已由多重耐药性逐步发展为全耐药性;而且在多种新型抗生素的压力下,又筛选、激活了一些此前未被注意的机会致病菌。当前应特别注意的是鲍氏不动杆菌和嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌,它们正逐步成为医院感染的重要细菌。上述细菌毒力并非特别强,只因其存在天然耐药性,一旦过度繁殖,可能成为"无药可治"的难治菌。在此有必要强调,"医院感染"的含义是"患者住院后获得新的感
