Nociceptin/orphanin FQ in inflammation and sepsis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cerebral state index (CSI) has recently been introduced as an intra-operative monitor of anaesthetic depth. We compared the performance of the CSI to the bispectral index (BIS) in measuring depth of anaesthesia during target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol. METHODS:Twenty Chinese patients undergoing g...
