Methods: Eighteen patients implanted with the Jewel AF atrial d efibrillator for drug-resistant persistent atrial fibrillation only were studie d in an open-labelled randomised crossover study. Patients were assigned to sed ation (S) with midazolam elixir, analgesia(A) with morphine sulphate or combinat ion therapy(C) with dextromoramide and lorazepam. Pre-medication was taken up t o 1h before cardioversion. Patients rotated through each type of medication afte r undertaking at least one cardioversion. Visual analogue scales were completed immediately post-cardiov-ersion and 24 h later for pain, anxiety and ‘unpleas an-tness’. Higher scores represented a worse outcome. Results: After 2 years’ follow-up, 238 cardioversions were performed with S, 17 with A and 35 with C. T he mean immediate combined score for S(10.9, 95%confidence interval(CI) 8.2-13 .6) was significantly lower than for A(17.3,95%CI 15.1-19.5,P=0.01)-and for C (15.9, 95%CI 12.3-19.6, P=0.02). All patients who used S chose it as the most favourable pre-medicant. All patients who used A found it the least acceptable . Conclusion: Sedation rather than analgesia enhanced the acceptability of manua lly activated atrial defibrillation.展开更多
在油藏温度下,采用ADSA(axisymmetric drop shape analysis)技术测定了不同压力下CO_2/原油动态界面张力和平衡界面张力。界面张力实验发现:原油与超临界CO_2接触的初始阶段存在强烈的扩散作用,原油中的轻质组分被超临界CO_2溶解抽提,...在油藏温度下,采用ADSA(axisymmetric drop shape analysis)技术测定了不同压力下CO_2/原油动态界面张力和平衡界面张力。界面张力实验发现:原油与超临界CO_2接触的初始阶段存在强烈的扩散作用,原油中的轻质组分被超临界CO_2溶解抽提,并且随着压力的增加,这种溶解抽提作用增强;实验压力范围内,动态界面张力经过25~50 s左右可以达到一稳定值,当P≤19.998 MPa时,动态界面张力曲线波动较大,而当P≥19.998 MPa时,动态界面张力曲线基本保持不变。驱替实验结果表明:CO_2原油体系的平衡界面张力与气驱采收率之间存在关联关系:(1)随着压力升高,体系的平衡界面张力降低,气体突破时的驱油效率和气驱最终驱油效率升高;(2)压力增加到一定值后,体系平衡界面张力降低幅度减小,两种驱油效率增加的幅度也减小;(3)随着压力升高,气驱最终驱油效率与气体突破时的驱油效率之差增大。展开更多

The surface tension responses to time weremeasured and compared. The results showed that (1) ADSA is a good methed to study the dy-namic change of surface tellsion to the time; (2) While SDBS concentration was less than its CMC,it could interact with BSA macro-molecule in the solution to form a complex which was moresurface active than both BSA and SDBS, and its conformation change in the adsorption layer wassimilar with that of BSA alone, (3) While SDBS concentration was larger than its CMC, its micellecould solubilize the BSA macro-molecule and the surface tension and the conformation change inthe adsorption layer was very similar with these of SDBS solution alone.展开更多

The results show that the interfacial tension between CO2 and organic liquids is affected by the polarity and the structure of the organic liquid molecule obviously. The intermolecular force operating within CO2 molecules or organic liquid, and that between CO2 and organic liquids molecules play a dominate role on the interfacial tension between CO2 and the organic liquids.展开更多
