최근 소아과 영역에서 통증 완화를 위해 사용되기 시작한 통증 완화용 연고 제재인 EMLA를 영아의 예방 접종시에 사용함으로써 영아의 통증 완화 효과를 알아 보기 위해 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원 육아 상담실에서 DPT 예방 접종을 시행한 2개월에서 8개월 사이의 영아 80명을 대상으로 하여 통증 완화용 연고제를 사용한 40례(남아 25례, 여아 15례)와 사용하지 않은 40례(남아 21례, 여아 19례)로 나누어 비교 관찰하였다. 통증에 대한 반응을 McGrath's face scale과 Oucher pain scale, MBPS로 비교 관찰하였으며, 접종후 울음 시작 시간, 첫 울음 지속 시간, 총 울음지속 시간 등을 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 대상 환아의 성별이나 연령의 분포상의 차이가 보이지 않았다.(EMLA 사용군의 평균 연령 : $4.0{\pm}0.2$개월, 대조군 : $4.5{\pm}0.8$개월) 2) 통증의 정도는 McGrath's face scale(p<0.05), Oucher pain scale(p<0.05), MBPS(p<0.01)을 이용하여 측정한 결과 EMLA 사용군에서 대조군에 비해 유의한 통증의 감소를 볼 수 있었다. 3) 주사후 첫 울음 시작 시간의 경우 EMLA 사용군에서도 $2.1{\pm}1.3$초, 대조군에서도 $2.0{\pm}0.9$초를 보여 차이가 없었으나, 평균 첫 울음 지속 시간의 경우 EMLA 사용군에서는 $6.9{\pm}4.0$초 대조군에서는 $14.2{\pm}9.2$초를 보여 현저한 감소를 보였다.(p<0.05) 평균 총 울음 지속시간의 경우도 EMLA 사용군에서 $9.8{\pm}6.0$초, 대조군에서 $21.9{\pm}12.8$초로 EMLA 사용군에서 현저한 울음 시간의 감소를 보였다.(p<0.05) 4) 부작용으로는 일시적 발작이 5례에서만 관찰되었다. 국소마취 연고를 영아에 대한 예방접종시에 사용함으로써 부작용 없이 통증이 완화되는 것을 관찰하였다. 그러나 EMLA 연고로 통증이 완화될 뿐 완전히 없어지는 것이 아니고, 연고 제재의 효과발현을 위하여 1시간 동안 부착하여야 하는 불편과 연고의 비용이 고가인 점 등의 문제점이 있어 예방접종시에 일상적으로 사용하기에는 아직 현실적으로 부적당하다고 생각되었다.

Background: The thoracic paravertebral block is an effective analgesic technique for postoperative pain management after breast surgery. The ultrasound-guided retrolaminar block (RLB) is a safer alternative to conventional paravertebral block. Thus, we assessed the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided RLB for postoperative pain management after breast surgery. Methods: Patients requiring breast surgery were randomly allocated to group C (retrolaminar injection with saline) and group R (RLB with local anesthetic mixture). The RLB was performed at the level of T3 with local anesthetic mixture (0.75% ropivacaine 20 mL + 2% lidocaine 10 mL) under general anesthesia before the skin incision. The primary outcome was cumulative morphine consumption using intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) at 24 hour postoperatively. The secondary outcomes were the visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at 1, 6, 24, and 48 hour postoperatively and the occurrence of adverse events and patient satisfaction after the surgery. Results: Forty-six patients were included, 24 in group C and 22 in group R. The cumulative morphine consumption using IV-PCA did not differ between the two groups (P = 0.631). The intraoperative use of remifentanil was higher in group C than in group R (P = 0.025). The resting and coughing VAS scores at 1 hour postoperatively were higher in group R than in group C (P = 0.011, P = 0.004). The incidence of adverse events and patient satisfaction was not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusions: A single injection of ultrasound-guided RLB did not reduce postoperative analgesic requirements following breast surgery.

To study effective dossage and administration route for scaling, ketamine HCl/propionyl promazine HCl(ketamine) combination and tiletamine HCl/zolazepam HCl(zoletil) were administered in one hundred six dogs. The dogs were toy poodle, Yorkshire Terrier, Pekingese and Chihuahua. Scaling and polishing time, possible treatment time after the first injection of anesthetics, the number of anethesia added, presence of tongue movement during anesthesia, the presence of swaying sign during recovery and respiration were evaluated. The possible treatment time after the first Injection of anesthetic in toy poodle were 26.3${\pm}$3.0 minutes with intravenous(IM) treatment of ketamine 10mg/kg, and 21.4${\pm}$6.6 minutes with intramuscula(IM) treatment of zoletil 8mg/kg, In Yorkshire Terrier were 19.51: 1.7 minutes with IV treatment of ketamine 10mg/kg. 19.0${\pm}$5.2 minutes IM and 20.8${\pm}$6.1 minutes with IM treatment of zoletil 5mg/kg,24.8${\pm}$3,5 minutes with IM treatment of zoletil 8mg/kg. In pekingese were 27.5${\pm}$2.1 minutes with IM treatment of ketamine 10mg/kg,28.0${\pm}$4.2 minutes with IM treatment of zoletil 8mg/kg. In Chihuahua were 19.5${\pm}$1.9 minutes with IV treatment of ketamine 7mg/kg, 17.5${\pm}$1.7 minutes with IM treatment of ketamine 10mg/kg and 20.3${\pm}$3.8 minutes with IM treatment of zoletil 5mg/kg, 21.2${\pm}$5.5 minutes with IM treatment of zoletil 8mg/kg. Swaying sign was observed in all group during recovery time, espically, in toy poodle and Yorkshire Terrier which administered zoletil 8mg/kg IM showed more severe swaying sign. The present results suggested that injection of zoletil 8mg/kg IM might be relatively effective for scaling in Chihuahua Within 20 minutes treatment for scaling in Yorkshire Terrier and Chihuahua, IM treatment of ketamine 7 to 10mg/kg is recommended.

Background: This study was designed to demonstrate the peripheral effect of ketamine on the synovia of the knee joint and evaluate the analgesic effect of an intraarticular ketamine injection following knee arthroscopy. Methods: In a double blind randomized study, 80 ASA class 1 or 2 patients were selected for elective arthroscopic knee surgery. The patients received either 20 ml of normal saline (Group C, n = 19), 20 ml of 0.5% ropivacaine (Group R, n = 21), 1 mg/kg of ketamine mixed with 20 ml of normal saline (Group K, n = 20) or 1 mg/kg of ketamine mixed with 20 ml of 0.5% ropivacaine (Group RK, n = 20), intraarticularly, just prior to wound closure. Postoperative pain was evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS 0 to 100) score at 1, 2, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours after the intraarticular injection, with the side effects found in the four groups also evaluated. The patients' requests for rescue analgesic were recorded, total doses of tarasyn calculated and the overall patient satisfaction also evaluated. Results: The difference in the VAS scores for all time periods was not significant. The number of patients receiving rescue analgesics and the total doses received in Group C were greater than those for the other groups, but this was not significant. No side effects were observed in any of the patients. Conclusions: Ketamine and local anesthetics have been reported to have peripheral analgesic effects, with variable duration in the measurements of pain and hyperalgesia. However, we failed to demonstrate a peripheral analgesic effect on postoperative arthroscopic pain.

Background: The goal of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of lipid emulsion on vasodilation caused by toxic doses of bupivacaine and mepivacaine during contraction induced by a protein kinase C (PKC) activator, phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu), in an isolated endothelium-denuded rat aorta. Methods: The effects of lipid emulsion on the dose-response curves induced by bupivacaine or mepivacaine in an isolated aorta precontracted with PDBu were assessed. In addition, the effects of bupivacaine on the increased intracellular calcium concentration ($[Ca^{2+}]_i$) and contraction induced by PDBu were investigated using fura-2 loaded aortic strips. Further, the effects of bupivacaine, the PKC inhibitor GF109203X and lipid emulsion, alone or in combination, on PDBu-induced PKC and phosphorylation-dependent inhibitory protein of myosin phosphatase (CPI-17) phosphorylation in rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) was examined by western blotting. Results: Lipid emulsion attenuated the vasodilation induced by bupivacaine, whereas it had no effect on that induced by mepivacaine. Lipid emulsion had no effect on PDBu-induced contraction. The magnitude of bupivacaine-induced vasodilation was higher than that of the bupivacaine-induced decrease in $[Ca^{2+}]_i$. PDBu promoted PKC and CPI-17 phosphorylation in aortic VSMCs. Bupivacaine and GF109203X attenuated PDBu-induced PKC and CPI-17 phosphorylation, whereas lipid emulsion attenuated bupivacaine-mediated inhibition of PDBu-induced PKC and CPI-17 phosphorylation. Conclusions: These results suggest that lipid emulsion attenuates the vasodilation induced by a toxic dose of bupivacaine via inhibition of bupivacaine-induced PKC and CPI-17 dephosphorylation. This lipid emulsion-mediated inhibition of vasodilation may be partly associated with the lipid solubility of local anesthetics.

Background: Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a common and painful complication of acute herpes zoster. In some cases, it is refractory to medical treatment. Preventing its occurrence is an important issue. We hypothesized that applying nerve blocks during the acute phase of herpes zoster could reduce PHN incidence by attenuating central sensitization and minimizing nerve damage and the anti-inflammatory effects of local anesthetics and steroids. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of using nerve blocks to prevent PHN. We searched the MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov and KoreaMed databases without language restrictions on April, 30 2014. We included all randomized controlled trials performed within 3 weeks after the onset of herpes zoster in order to compare nerve blocks vs active placebo and standard therapy. Results: Nine trials were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. Nerve blocks reduced the duration of herpes zoster-related pain and PHN incidence of at 3, 6, and 12 months after final intervention. Stellate ganglion block and single epidural injection did not achieve positive outcomes, but administering paravertebral blockage and continuous/repeated epidural blocks reduced PHN incidence at 3 months. None of the included trials reported clinically meaningful serious adverse events. Conclusions: Applying nerve blocks during the acute phase of the herpes zoster shortens the duration of zoster-related pain, and somatic blocks (including paravertebral and repeated/continuous epidural blocks) are recommended to prevent PHN. In future studies, consensus-based PHN definitions, clinical cutoff points that define successful treatment outcomes and standardized outcome-assessment tools will be needed.

Further elucidation of the mechanism of halothane's negative inotropic action has resulted from a study of the effect of various substrates on halothane-depressed rat atria. Approximately 6 mg% halothane was required to maintain a 50% depression of the contractility of rat atria suspended in a modified Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate glucose medium, pH 7.4, $30^{\circ}C$ for 2hr. Both lactate and acetate were found to restore partially the contractility of halothane-depressed atria. The maximally effective concentration of lactate was 5 mM; for acetate it was 2.5mM. Neither 5 nor 20 mM of additional glucose was effective in restoring the force of contraction of halothane-depressed atria. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that halothane exerts at least a part of its negative inotropic effect on rat atria by inhibiting either the uptake or utilization of glucose by the myocardium. The site of blockade must be prior to the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA. In our previous report dealing with the mechanism of cardiac depressant action of inhalation anesthetic halothane, it has been demonstrated that: 1) approximately 6 mg/100 ml halothane is required to maintain 50% depression of the force of contraction of isolated rat atria in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate glucose medium; 2) pyruvate partially restores the contractility of halothane-depressed atria, but has no effect on normal atria; the partial recovery of depressed atria by the addition of sodium pyruvate is due to the effect of the pyruvate ion itself, not to the sodium ion; 4) addition of pyruvate, to atria depressed with hypertonic medium, produced only further depression. From these findings we concluded that the cardiac depressant action of halothane on rat atria is a manifestation of inhibition of glucose uptake or utilization. The present studies were undertaken to observe the effect of other substrates on halothane-depressed atria in order to substantiate our conclusion. As with the case of pyruvate, lactate and acetate also partially restored the force of contraction of halothane-depressed atria. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that halothane inhibits glucose uptake or utilization in the glycolytic cycle of the myocardium.

전신마취제인 케타민은 흥분성 아미노산의 활성을 방해하는 N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) 수용체의 비경쟁적인 길항제이다. 본 연구는 개 말초혈액 백혈구의 순간산소과소비현상(Oxidative burst activity; OBA)에 있어서 케타민의 효과를 검토하였다. 탐식세포의 OBA는 유세포 분석기로 분석하였다. 케타민을 말초혈액 다형핵백혈구(peripheral blood polymorphonuclear cells; PMN)와 monocyte-rich cells에 직접처리 하였을 때는 OBA가 감소하였으며, 또한 케타민을 처리한 말초혈액 단핵구세포(peripheral blood mononuclear cells; PBMC) 배양상층액에 의해서도 PMN과 monocyte-rich cells의 OBA가 감소하였다. 그러나 케타민을 처리한 PMN 배양상층액에 의해서는 탐식세포의 OBA에 있어서 아무런 변화가 없었다. 하지만 이러한 OBA의 감소는 latex beads를 넣어 탐식반응이 일어날 때만 측정되었다. 이상의 결과로부터 탐식반응이 일어나는 동안 케타민은 호중구와 단핵구와 같은 개 말초혈액 탐식구의 OBA에 있어 억제효과를 나타내었다.
