Objective To evaluate the effect of chest backplate in treating multiple rib fractures in patients with focal abnormal breathing. Methods The clinical data of 36 patients with multiple rib fractures and focal abnormal breathing who were treated by Chrisofix chest backplate were analyzed. Results Thirty-four patients were cured by chest backplate and other conservative treatments,and 2 patients underwent rib internal fixation surgery. The numeric rating scales scores before and after the application of the chest backplate were (8.1±0.7) scores and (5.2±0.5) scores respectively(P <0.01). Seven patients had skin blisters forming around the shield, which were cured by liquid extraction with a syringe and gauze covered with povidone iodine. No patients stopped treatment because of allergy. Conclusions Chest backplate is an effective, easy and inexpensive method for patient with multiple rib fractures and focal abnormal breathing who doesn't need exploratory thoracotomy. It is worthy to spread in clinical treatment. Key words: Rib fractures; Flail chest; Abnormal breathing; Chest backplate; Conservative treatment

Objective To summarize experience to prevent the main postoperative complications after hypospadias repairs. Method The clinical data of 189 cases of hypospadias repairs was from May 2005 to August 2010,retrospectively analyzed. Results One hundred and seventy-four cases were surgically cured by single-stage operation. All cases had been followed up for 4-36 (18.5 ± 5.5) months, the cases who had become adults were normal penile development and erectile function. Postoperative complications occurred in 15 cases,9 cases of them were urethral fistulas,6 cases were urethral strictures,all were cured or improved after symptomatic treatments. Conclusions Some methods are necessary to raise single-stage urethroplasty success rate and decrease the incidence of fistulas and strictures, such as preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis,appropriate procedure,intraoperative suprapublic urinary diversion,the good blood supply of the flap, modified enswathement, postoperative manage and nursing.

Method From January 1998 to March 2009,25 patients with light-chain amyloidosis associated renal disease were reviewed and followed up.Results Of the 25 patients with light-chain amyloidosis associated renal disease,median age was 57(37-69) years old and lamda light-chain predominated (88% ,22/25). Heavy proteinuria and nephrotic syndrome with peripheral edema were typical clinical presentations. Renal biopsy showed that amyloid deposition of light-chain amyloidosis associated renal disease involved the glomeruh mostly, with mesangial area widening. Median survival of all patients was 24.4 months after diagnosis. The estimated 1,2,3 year survival rate was (65 ± 10 )%, (46 ± 12 )% and (15 ± 12 )% respectively. There was significant difference in median survival between the two groups (24.7 months in the group of 14 patients with isolated kidney affected,16.4 months in the group of 11 patients with kidney and other organs involved,P = 0.03). By univariate analysis, kidney associated with other organs amyloidosis and renal dysfunction were relevant to prognosis (P < 0.05) and heart involvement was probably relevant (P = 0.06),whereas sex,age,plasma cell ratio,serum albumin level and hemoglobin level had no relation(P> 0.05 ). Multivariate analysis revealed that renal dysfunction at the time of diagnosis was a significant and independent prognostic factor for survival (P <0.05). Conclusions Renal dysfunction at the time of diagnosis is the best predictor of survival. The presence of amyloidosis in organs other than the kidney, such as advanced cardiac amyloidosis, predicts a poor survival. Key words: Prognosis; Renal amyloidosis; Immunoglobulin light-chain; Survival analysis

Objective To investigate the effect of propofol combined with remifentanil or sufentanil on cognitive function in patients undergoing awake craniotomy. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ neurosurgical patients undergoing resection of glioma in cerebral cortical functional area were divided into 2 groups by random digits table: propofol + remifentanil (group RF, 30 cases) and propofol + sufentanil (group SF, 30 cases). Scalp nerve block and local infiltration of incision and dura mater were performed in both groups with 0.5% ropivacaine. Propofol, remifentanil and sufentanil were administered by target controlled infusion. The target plasma concentration of remifentanil was set at 1-2 ng/ml and that of sufentanil at 0.1-0.2 ng/ml,propofol was set at 3-6 μg/ml at open skull stage. The patients were inserted laryngeal mask and mechanically ventilated. Bispectral index (BIS) was monitored as the depth of anesthesia. Mini-mental scale examination (MMSE) was investigated at the time of preoperative,intraoperative wake-up after the patients had been targeted capacity. Results Blood concentration of propofol in group RF was (1.10 ± 0.06)μg/ml, group SF was (0.98 ± 0.05)μ g/ml in patients during intraoperative wake-up. BIS in group RF changed from 46.4 ± 2.5 to 90.8 ± 3.2 during wake-up, group SF from 44.8 ± 2.1 to 89.9 ± 3.2. The cognitive function score was not significantly different at the time of preoperative and intraoperative assessment. Conclusion Propofol combined with remifentanil or sufentanil has no effect on cognitive function for the patients undergoing awake craniotomy. Key words: Anesthetics,combined; Cognition; Wakefulness

Objective To investigate the effects of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and combined intravenous and inhalation anesthesia on blood glucose and cortisol in spinal neurosurgery.Methods Forty-four spinal neurosurgery patients were divided into propofol combined with remifentanil group (PR group) and sevoflurane combined with remifentanil group (SR group ), 22 cases in each group,they were induced with propofol, sufentanil and rocuronium. Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane in SR group while propofol in PR group. Depth of anesthesia adaption according to bispectral index (BIS)(45 -55). Blood glucose, cortisol, haemodynamics were observed at different time points. Results The mean arterial pressure(MAP) was higher after induction in PR group than that in SR group(P < 0.05 ). Sixty minutes after induction, MAP was lower than that before induction in PR group (P < 0.05 ). Heart rate ( HR )in both SR group and PR group were lower at 60 and 120 minutes after induction than those before induction (P < 0.05). HR was lower at 5 minutes after induction in PR group than that in SR group (P < 0.05). No significant difference was showed in blood glucose and cortisol between the two groups (P > 0.05 ). Cortisol level was significantly lower at 120 minutes after induction than that before induction [(40.6 ± 18.3) μg/L vs. ( 129.7 ± 36.7 ) μg/L, P < 0.05 ] and at 24 hours postoperative [ (93.6 ± 19.8 ) μg/L ] recovered to the level before induction in PR group. Cortisol level was significantly higher before induction than 120 minutes after induction [ ( 130.5 ± 32.1 ) μg/L vs. (51.6 ± 16.8 ) μg/L, P < 0.05 ] and 24 hours postoperative was (75.9 ± 18.2) μg/L in SR group. Conclusions Two anesthetic regimens are compatible during spinal neurosurgery, with no apparent fluctuations of perioperative blood glucose. However, longer cortisol inhibition is probably happened when using sevoflurane. Key words: Anesthesia, intravenous; Anesthesia, inhalation; Blood glucose; Hydrocortisone; Spinal neurosurgery
目的探讨全静脉麻醉(TIVA)与静脉吸入联合麻醉对脊柱神经外科手术患者血糖、皮质醇的影响。方法将44例脊柱神经外科患者分为异丙酚联合瑞芬太尼组(PR组)和七氟醚联合瑞芬太尼组(SR组),每组22例,分别用异丙酚、舒芬太尼和罗库溴铵诱导。SR组以七氟醚维持麻醉,PR组以异丙酚维持麻醉。根据双谱指数(BIS)(45 -55)调整麻醉深度。观察不同时间点血糖、皮质醇、血流动力学变化。结果PR组诱导后平均动脉压(MAP)高于SR组(P < 0.05)。诱导60 min后,PR组MAP低于诱导前(P < 0.05)。SR组和PR组的心率(HR)在诱导后60、120 min均低于诱导前(P < 0.05)。PR组诱导后5 min HR低于SR组(P < 0.05)。两组血糖、皮质醇比较差异无统计学意义(P < 0.05)。PR组诱导后120 min皮质醇水平明显低于诱导前[(40.6±18.3)μg/L vs(129.7±36.7)μg/L, P < 0.05],术后24 h[(93.6±19.8)μg/L]恢复到诱导前水平。诱导前皮质醇水平显著高于诱导后120 min[(130.5±32.1)μg/L vs(51.6±16.8)μg/L, P < 0.05],术后24 h SR组皮质醇水平为(75.9±18.2)μg/L。结论两种麻醉方案在脊柱神经外科手术中是相容的,围手术期血糖无明显波动。然而,当使用七氟醚时,可能会发生更长时间的皮质醇抑制。关键词:麻醉;静脉注射;吸入麻醉;血糖;氢化可的松;脊髓神经外科

Objective To investigate the role of fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) in the positioning of ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (PLMA). Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients undergoing general anesthesia using PLMA were randomly divided into two groups with 30 cases each: inserted PLMA group (group A)and FOB positioning group (group B). After the routine intravenous anesthesia induction,the PLMA inflated to an intracapsular pressure of 50 cm H2O (1 cm H2O =0.098 kPa) with the positive airway pressure by the anesthesia apparatus, the airway seal pressure, airway peak voltage of intermittent positive pressure ventilation and tidal volume were evaluated. Results Patients from two groups achieved adequate lung ventilation (SpO2 >0.97,PETCO2 was normal), the operations were all smooth. There were 5 cases adjusted the position two times,and 1 case adjusted 3 times. Patients in group B were all PLMA insertion under FOB and airway seal pressure was higher,but airway peak voltage was lower than in group A (P<0.05). Conclusion FOB elevates accurate allocation of PLMA,enhances the isolated function from the surrounding tissue of glottis, improves the lung ventilation, and increases the safety of PLMA.
