EFFECTS OF COMPOUND ACUPUNCTURE AND MEDICINE ANESTHESIA ON TNF AND INF-Γ CONTENTS IN THE PATIENT OF PNEUMONECTOMY

Objective To explore effects of acupuncture on senJm tumor necrosis factor （TNF） and ,γ-inter- feron （INF-γ） contents in the operative patient of lung cancer. Methods In the first stage, electroacupuncture （EA） stimulation was given to 25 cases of lung cancer before operation, once daily for 3 consecutive days, with continuous EA stimulation during operation; EA was given once each day from the 5^th-7^th days after operation. In the second stage, EA was added from the 8^th- 10^th days after operation in 30 cases, once daily. Serum TNF and INF-γ contents were compared before and after operation. Results Serum TNF content on the 8th day after operation in the first stage study was lower （P〈0.05） and on the 12th day after operation in the second stage study was higher （P〈0.05） in the compound anesthesia group than that in the general anesthesia group; serum INF-γ contents in the compound anesthesia group on the 8^th day after operation in the first stage and on the 12^th day after operation in the second stage were significantly higher than those in the general anesthesia group （P〈0.01, P〈0.05）. Conclusion Acupuncture can regulate serum TNF and INF-γ contents in the patient of operation of lung cancer, with dual-directional regulation on immunologic function.

Esophageal nasopharyngeal catheter in the wake-up anesthesia of the brain function area operations

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of the self developed sound outside the ventilation device-esophageal nasopharynx catheter in brain functional areas surgery applications. Methods 13 patients involved functional areas of brain surgery were chosed. After induction of general anesthesia,the catheters were placed in the esophagus,then connected to anesthesia machines to an external

Protecting action of acupuncture-drug compound anesthesia with different frequency electroacupuncture on stress reaction in patients of pneumonectomy

Objective To observe the protective effect of acupuncture-drug compound anesthesia with different frequency electroacupuncture（EA） on stress reaction in patients of pneumonectomy and to explore potential mechanisms.Methods Eighty patients scheduled for pneumonectomy were randomly divided into four groups,group A,B,C and D,20 cases in each group.General anesthesia and single lung protective mechanical ventilation were carried out in all the groups.Acupuncture was given at Hòuxī（后溪 SI 3）,Zhīgōu（支沟TE 6）,Nèiguān（内关 PC 6）,and Hégǔ（合谷 LI 4） 30 min before general anesthesia,and the acupuncture needles were connected with Han＇s acupoint nerve stimulator（HANS-200） in all the groups,but the acupuncture needles without needle bodies were pasted on the acupoints and EA was not given in the group A.2 Hz continuous wave,100 Hz continuous wave and 2 Hz/100 Hz EA were given in the group B,C and D respectively.The supplementary amount of anesthesia medicine,heart rate（HR） and mean arterial pressure（MAP） during pneumonectomy,and CD4^＋/CD8^＋ in venous blood before and one day after the surgery,and the contents of epinephrine（E） and cortisol（Cor） in plasma after entering the operating room and before turning out the operating room were detected.Results ① During the operation,supplementary amounts of Fentanyl in the group B and C were lower than those in the group A and D（P〈0.05,P〈0.01）.② The MAP in the four groups at tracheal intubation（T1） all were higher than those before anesthesia（T0）（all P〈0.01）,and the ascending extents in the group B,C and D were lower than that in the group A（all P〈0.01）;HR at T1 in the group A was higher than that at T0（P〈0.05）,while no significant change in the other groups（all P〈0.05）,and the ascending extents in the group B and D were lower than that in the group A（both P〈0.05）;MAP and HR at the other moments in all the groups were stable.③ CD4^＋/CD8^＋ in the group A after pneumonectomy was lower than that before the surgery（P〈0.05）,while no significant change in the other groups（all P〈0.05）.④ Contents of E and Cor after the operation were significantly increased in all the groups（all P〈0.01）,and the ascending extent of E content in the group D was lower than that in the group A（P〈0.05）;the ascending level of Cor in the group B and D was lower than that in the group A（P〈0.01）,and in the group B was lower that in the group C and D.Conclusion Acupuncture-drug compound anesthesia can attenuate the stress reaction so as to protect organs under the condition of less or same narcotic amount and can alleviate the fluctuation of MAP and HR at tracheal intubation and stabilize CD4^＋/CD8^＋ after pneumonectomy.Among them,2 Hz and 2 Hz/100 Hz EA have better effects.
