Neuropathic pain has been redefined by NeuPSIG as “pain arising as a direct consequence of a lesion or disease affecting the somatosensory syste”. However, pharmacological management for neuropathic pain is not effective, which is correlated with the uncertainty of pathogenesis. For a long time, neuron had been considered acting a major role in the development of neuropathic pain. In recent years, a majority of studies revealed that glia cell also involved in the occurrence and development of neuropathic pain, and neuron-glia interaction is one of the key mechanism of neuropathic pain, including complex signaling pathways as purinergic signaling. This review focuses on recent advances on the role of purinergic receptors in neuropathic pain.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the ultrasonic pre locating internal jugular venous cannulation in infants, comparison with the external landmark technique.MethodsSixty two infants scheduled for cardiac surgery were randomized prospectively into two groups. In the anatomic landmarks group( n =30), the patient’s internal jugular vein(IJV) were cannulated by using the traditional method of palpation of carotid pulsation and identification of other anatomic landmarks. In the ultrasonic pre locating group ( n =32), an two dimensional ultrasound scanner image made for locating the puncture site of vessels was used with an operative probe of HP SONOS 4500 system. The number of attempts, success rate, and incidence of complications were compared for two groups.ResultsThe success rate was 100% vs 80% in the ultrasonic pre locating group vs anatomic landmarks group, with a 3.1% vs 26 7% incidence of carotid artery punctures and the number of attempts 1.57±1.04 vs 2.55±1.76. All differences were statistically significant ( P lt;0.05,0.05,0.01). Conclusion Ultrasonographic pre-localization of the IJV is superior to the anatomic landmarks technique in terms of overall success , and decreases incidence of carotid artery puncture.
Objective To observe the changes of serum potassium level and the factors that affected it when preoperative intravenous administration of gelofusine was given rapidly at high dose. Methods Thirty patients scheduled for upper abdominal operation were selected for the study and they were randomizely divided into test group (gelofusion group) and control group with 15 cases in each group. The first blood and urine sample was taken after epidural puncture and the potassium value was used as basic values. Then an intravenous administration of gelofusion at a dose of 10ml/kg was given in gelofusion group within 30min and then the second sample was obtained. Another intravenous administration of gelofusion at a dose of 10 ml/kg was given within 1 hour and the third sample was taken, while the fourth and fifth samples were taken 30 and 90 minutes after the third samples taken respectively. All the blood samples were tested for serum level of electrolytes (Na+,K+,Cl-,Ca2+,Mg2+), pH, Osm, Hct. The value of electrolytes (Na+,K+,Cl-,Ca2+,Mg2+) of urine samples were determined too. The intracellular levels of K+ and Mg2+ of erythrocyte were tested. The gelofusion were replaced by saline solution in control group and the other procedures were the same.Results The serum level of potassium was decreased progressively after rapid intravenous administration of gelofusine at high dose. Conclusion The serum level of potassium will decrease significantly after rapid intravenous administration of gelofusion at high dose during operation.
目的 研究利多卡因对海马的神经毒性是否会对大鼠空间学习记忆能力产生影响，并探讨大鼠空间学习能力的变化与海马CA3区锥体细胞数目的相关性。 方法 将成年Wistar雄性大鼠随机分为基础值组（n=7）和利多卡因惊厥组（n=40）。基础值组大鼠静脉给予生理盐水后使用Y迷宫测定大鼠的空间学习能力。利多卡因惊厥组大鼠尾静脉持续输注利多卡因造成惊厥，待大鼠恢复正常运动以后放入鼠笼重新饲养。并于惊厥后第1、3、5、7天从中随机抓取大鼠测试其空间学习能力以及组织学改变。根据对应天数将利多卡因惊厥组的40只大鼠随机细分为Day-1、Day-3、Day-5、Day-7亚组，每亚组10只。所有大鼠在测定空间学习能力之后立即处死，取出大脑并做石蜡包埋，冠状面切片后进行组织学检测，显微镜下评估海马CA3区锥体细胞状态。 结果 ① 基础值组和Day-1、Day-3、Day-5、Day-7亚组大鼠的Y迷宫穿梭次数分别为（25.2 ± 3.7）、（27.1 ± 8.1）、（36.9 ± 9.9）、（38.7 ± 10.6）、（40.6 ± 16.3）次，除Day-1亚组与基础值组比较差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）外，其余各亚组与基础值组差异均有统计学意义（P＜0.05）；② 与基础值组单位面积（10.3 ± 4.5）个（异常锥体）细胞比较，利多卡因惊厥组大鼠海马CA3区异常锥体细胞数增加，Day-1、Day-3、Day-5、Day-7亚组计数值分别为13.0 ± 7.2、15.6 ± 5.0、19.6 ± 8.1、18.1 ± 5.1，且与大鼠Y迷宫穿梭次数呈正相关（r=0.711，P＜0.05）。 结论 利多卡因引起的惊厥使成年大鼠海马依赖性空间学习能力下降，利多卡因的神经毒性引起的海马异常锥体细胞增多可能是造成这一现象的一种原因。
