AIM: To investigate anti-oxidative and mitochondria protective effects of resveratrol on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. METHODS: Middle cerebral artery occlusion(MACO) was used to induce focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model.After 24 h reperfusion,MDA,GSH,NO,LD content and SOD activity in brain homogenate were determined,MDA,GSH content and SOD,ATPase activity in mitochondria were also determined. RESULTS: Resveratrol significantly inhibited the increase in MDA,NO,LD content and the decrease in SOD activity and GSH content in brain after cerbral ischemia-reperfusion.Resveratrol also significantly inhibited the increase in MDA and the decrease in activity of SOD,Na~+-K~+-ATPase,Ca~(2+)-Mg~(2+)-ATPase in mitochondria. CONCLUSION: Resvertrol has protective effects on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury via attenuating cerebral oxygen free radical lipid peroxidation and protecting mitochondria.

Objective To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane during recovery from breast cancer surgery under general anaesthesia. Methods A total of 120 patients undergoing unilateral breast cancer radical operation were randomly divided into four groups:group C (infusion of saline, n=30), group D0.5 [infusion of dexmedetomidine 0.5μg/(kg·h) during operation, n=30], group D0.6 [dexmedetomidine 0.6μg/(kg·h), n=30] and group D0.7 [dexmedetomidine 0.7 μg/(kg · h), n=30]. The end-tidal concentrations of sevoflurane during surgery and postoperation were observed. The end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane on palinesthesia was recorded. The time from stopping administration of anesthetic drug to palinesthesia and the operation time were recorded. The palinesthesia of patients from general anaesthesia and the degree of emergence agitation of the patient were measured using Riker ’s sedation-agitation scale. The operation time, anesthesia time, intraoperative remifentanil dosage, intraoperative auditory evoked potential index (AAI), sevoflurane inhalation concentration and the corresponding time were recorded. Results There were no significant differences in clinical data, remifentanil dosage, operation time and AAI between four groups. The anesthesia time was longer in group D0.7 than that in the other three groups (P<0.05). Compared to group C, the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane during surgery, postoperation and palinesthesia were lower and the time of palinesthesia was delayed in groups D0.5, D0.6 and D0.7 (P<0.05). And the time of palinesthesia was delayed in group D0.7 than that of group D0.5 and group D0.6. Compared with group C, the ratio of Riker’s sedation-agitation scale>7 was lower in groups D0.5, D0.6 and D0.7 (P<0.05). The ratio of Riker’s sedation-agitation scale>4 was significantly higher in group D0.6 and group D0.7 than that in group C and group D0.5, but the ratio of score>6 was lower (P<0.05). The ratio of score>3 was higher in group D0.7 than that of other three groups (P<0.05). Intraoperative cardiac tachycardia was found in group D0.6 and group D0.7 (4 cases, 13%and 8cases, 7%). Conclusion Sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia and intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine 0.6μg/(kg·h) can effectively reduce intraoperative sevoflurane dosage, the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane during recovery, and the occurrence of agitation in patients undergoing general anesthesia.

Objective To explore the quantity change and significance of CD14-/CD11b+/CD33 + myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in patients with multiple injury. Methods Thirtyfour patients with multiple injury and seven healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study. Peripheral blood was collected and the factors of CD14-/CD1 1 b+/ CD33 + were taken as markers of MDSCs. The percentage of MDSCs was determined by flow cytometry (FCM) and serum interleukin-10 and C-reactive protein levels were determined by ELISA to analyze the quantity change and clinical significance of MDSCs. Results The percentage of MDSCs in peripheral blood of healthy volunteers was (1.13 +0. 25) %. At days 1,2, 3 and 7 after injury, the percentage of MDSCs in peripheral blood were (1.20 +0.22) %, (6.44 + 0.35) %, (13.84 ± 2.07) % and (15.60 ± 1.63) % respectively in patients with infection and multiple injury, whereas (1.29 ±0. 30)%, (4.93 +0. 32)%, (5.15 ±0. 21)% and (3.77 ± 0.34) % respectively in patients without infection. The percentages of MDSCs in two groups showed significant differences at days 2, 3 and 7 after trauma (P<0.05). No correlation was found between MDSCs percentage in peripheral blood and injury severity score, serum interleukin-10 or C reactive protein in patients with multiple injury (P > 0.05). Conclusions The increase of proportion ofMDSCs in peripheral blood correlates with the onset of infection in patients with multiple injury, indicating that the expansion of MDSCs in peripheral blood may play important roles in immune dysfunction after multiple injury.
