Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of lappaconitine on the perioperative immune function.Methods Twenty-four ASA I or II patients aged 23-64 yr undergoing elective radical mastectomy (8 patients),iaminectomy and vertebral canal decompression (8 patients) or femoral head replacement (8 patients ) were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=12 each): control group (C) and lappaconitine group (L).In group L ondansetron 4 mg was given IV and lappaconitine 8 mg was infused IV over 30 rain before induction of anesthesia.In group C equal volume of normal saline was infused instead of lappaconitine.Anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol,remifentanil and rocuronium.Lappaconitine 0.28 mg/ml was continuously infused at 2 ml/h after induction of anesthesia in group L.When the patients recovered from anesthesia after operation,PCA with 0.28 mg/ml lappaconitine was started (background infusion 2 ml/h,bolus dose 0.5 ml and lockout interval 15 min).In group C pethidine 50 mg and droperidol 2.5 mg were given IM on demand.Venous blood samples were taken at 30 rain before induction of anesthesia(T1,baseline),immediately (T2) and at 24 h(T3) and 48 h (T4)after operation for determination of TNF-α,IL-2,IFN-γ and sIL-6R concentration by ELISA.CD3,CD4,CD8 and NK cell expression was determined using flow cytometry and the ratio of CD4/CD8 was calculated.The concentrations of IgA,IgM,IgG,CD3 and CD4 were determined by radioimmunoassay.Results Plasma SIL-6R and TNF-α concentrations were significantly lower while IL-2,IgA,IgG,IgM concentrations and CD4/CD8 ratio were significantly higher after operation in group L than in group C.Conclusion Lappaconitine can improve perioperafive humoral immune function thus contributing to its analgesic and anfi-inflammatory effects.
