Inhibition Of Monocarboxylate Transporter 1 In Spinal Cord Horn Significantly Reverses Chronic Inflammatory Pain.

Purpose: Chronic inflammatory pain is a common condition in the clinic, and the underlying mechanism is not being completely understood. Various studies have demonstrated that central and peripheral sensitization and synaptic plasticity could play crucial functions in chronic inflammatory pain. Moreover, families of monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) are closely related to cellular metabolism and synaptic plasticity, and it is also reported that MCTs participate in chronic inflammatory pain.

A novel method for right one-lung ventilation modeling in rabbits.

There is no standard method by which to establish a right one-lung ventilation (OLV) model in rabbits. In the present study, a novel method is proposed to compare with two other methods. After 0.

[Ketamine inhalation before one-lung ventilation for perioperative lung protection in thoracic surgery patients].

Objective: To explore the effects of ketamine inhalation before one-lung ventilation (OLV) in patients undergoing transthoracic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.

Methods: Upon the approval of hospital ethic committee, 90 American Society of Anesthesiologists grade I-II patients scheduled for elective trans-left-thoracic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer were randomly and single-blindly divided into 3 groups. After intravenous anesthesia with double-lumen endobronchial intubation, the patients in each group received different therapies before OLV, i.

[Ridge regression analysis of pulmonary infection rate after transthoracic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer].

Objective: To identify the influencing factors of pulmonary infections after transthoracic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.

Methods: A retrospective review of 349 patients undergoing transthoracic esophagectomy at our hospital for esophageal cancer was performed between January and December 2009. The postoperative pneumonia rate was examined and 26 perioperative factors possibly affecting the postoperative respiratory complications were collected.

[Airway stenting with inhalation anesthesia in malignant airway stenosis or fistula under radiological guidance].

Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of airway stenting with inhalation anesthesia under radiological guidance in the palliation of malignant tracheobronchial stenosis.

Methods: Between June 2001 and August 2010, 74 consecutive patients with malignant tracheobronchial stenosis were treated by the insertion of an ultraflex self-expandable metal stent with inhalation anesthesia under fluoroscopic guidance.

Results: All patients achieved obvious symptomatic relief.
