Abstract:
Aim To compare the different effect of intracarotid and intravenous injection of propofol on the neuronal apoptosis of hippocampus in rats undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass.Methods Fifty rats were randomly assigned to five groups. Shame group (Group Non-CPB,n=10); group cardiopulmonary bypass(group CPB,n=10);group intravenous injection of propofol 2 mg?kg -1?h -1 (group P_ 2V,n=10);group intravenous injection of propofol 10mg.kg -1?h -1 (group P_ 10V,n=10);group intracarotid injection of propofol 2 mg?kg -1?h -1 (group P_ 2a,n=10).Mean arterial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR) were monitored. Changes of the neuronal apoptosis of hippocampus were observed with TUNEL staining, Bax and bcl-2 mRNA and protein expressions were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot. In addition,neuronal ultrastructures were observed. Results Neuronal apoptosis and changes of neuronal ultrastructures of hippocampus were attenuated in group P_ 2a and P_ 10V,but the apoptosis of neurons was not attenuated in group P_ 2v. Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA expression increased undergoing CPB. Bax mRNA expression decreased after CPB in group P_ 2a and P_ 10V. Bcl-2 mRNA expression increased in group P_ 2a and P_ 10V. But Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA expression in group P_ 2V was not significantly different compared with that of group CPB. Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression measured by Western blot showed the same trend with mRNA expressions. Compared with baseline values, MAP and HR in group P_ 2V and P_ 2a remained unchanged. But the MAP and HR in group P_ 10V changed compared with group CPB and baseline value.Conclusions intracarotid injection of propofol attenuated the injury of brain at a fraction of the intravenous dose and with less adverse systemic and cerebrovascular side effects.
