General anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia maintaining appropriate anesthesia depth may protect excessive production of inflammatory cytokines and stress hormones in colon cancer patients during and after surgery.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of varied anesthetic methods and depths on inflammatory cytokines and stress hormone levels in radical operation among colon cancer patients during perioperative period.A total of 120 patients were collected in the study and randomly divided into 4 groups, A: general anesthesia + Narcotrend D1, B: general anesthesia + Narcotrend D2, C: general anesthesia + epidural anesthesia + Narcotrend D1, D: general anesthesia + epidural anesthesia + Narcotrend D2. The levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, cortisol (Cor), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and endothelin-1 (ET-1) were measured adopting commercial kits before anesthesia (T0), 4 hours after surgery (T1), 24 hours after surgery (T2), and 72 hours after surgery (T3).

[Investigation of relationship between prehospital care for traumatic shock and postoperative acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome].

Objective: To investigate and analyze the correlation and clinical significance of prehospital treatment for traumatic shock and postoperative acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Methods: Six hundred cases in the last 10 years were enrolled for double-blind randomized control study. They were divided into 3 groups.

[Clinical study of the effect of verapamil-procaine compound in prevention and treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome after high risk operation].

Objective: To observe the effect of verapamil-procaine compound (V-P) on prevention and treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) subsequent to high risk operation.

Methods: Altogether 150 cases of major operations with high risk of ARDS were enrolled for study. They were randomly divided into three groups.
