Design of plastic nerve chamber

The nerves put on a plastic chamber having three tanks were intercepted and a tank at the possession center and a right and left tank were intercepted with Vaseline^® The shape of the waves of the action potential made by stimulation from the electrodes was recorded.

Dose response curve of DEX (n =16)

This graph shows a dose dependent decrease CAPs amplitude for DEX.

DEX EC₅₀ was 11.96 μM.

The chest X-ray image of the patient with Klippel-Feil and Goldenhar syndromes

The lung at the left side is not observed.

% change of CAPs for 47.02 μM YOH (n = 6)

The CAPs amplitude was inhibited by 50% of the EC₅₀ YOH, but it did not recover to the control values after the washout.

% change of CAPs for 5.98 μM DEX + 23.51 μM YOH (n = 22)

The mixture solution containing 1/2 EC₅₀ DEX and 1/2 EC₅₀ YOH reduced the CAPs amplitude to close to 50% of the control CAPs amplitude. As a result, the relationships between DEX and YOH show that it represents an additive effect.

Effect on CAPs of IDA (n = 6)

This graph shows an effect of different concentrations of IDA on the amplitude of CAPs. Reductions in the amplitude of the rat sciatic nerve by 3 different concentrations of IDA, measured 5 minutes after its application. The concentrations of IDA were 16 μM, 80 μM and 160 μM. The amplitude of the CAPs was unchanged by the administration of the IDA.

% change of CAPs for 11.96 μM DEX + 80 μM IDA (n = 13), 11.96 μM DEX + Modified Liley solution (n = 8)

These mixture solutions were composed of 11.96 μM DEX + 80 μM IDA and 11.96 μM DEX + Modified Liley solution, and these solutions were made by mixing equal volumes.

The CAPs amplitude was indicated as the same value between groups.

The MRI image (left), lateral (middle) and ventral views (right) of the patient with fibrous dysplasia of cementum and bone

The images show the tumor observed in the mandible and maxilla expands to the mouth. There is no space in the mouth, indicating the difficulties in inserting any devices for intubation.

An endoscopy mask^® The image shows an endoscopy mask^® by VBM for pediatric fiberoptic intubations. The mask allows us to ventilate during the fiberoptic intubation.

Face Pain Rating Scale (FPRS)

0 : No pain

5 : Unbearably strong pain

Distribution of the time when the patients became aware of pain

The change of FPRS

The FPRS in the 0.75% R group was significantly lower than in the 2% L group at every time between 1 hour and 10 hours after the operation
