Objective To observe the cardioprotective effects of hyperoxia liquid by comparing the changes of blood concentrations of malondialdehyde(MDA)and super oxide dismutase(SOD)in mechanical heart valve replacement.Methods Thirty patients required mechanical heart valve replacement were randomly divided into hyperoxia liquid group(Group HL) and control group 15 cases in each.From the start of skin incision(T_(0)) to(10min) after CPB,patients received 10mL/kg Ringer's injection(control group) and 10mL/kg hyperoxia liquid(Group HL) seperately.The central venous blood samples,which were collected in both groups respectively at skin incision(T_(0)),1h after start of CPB(T_1),2h(T_2) and 24h(T_3) after aorta off-clamping,were used to test the blood concentrations of SOD and MDA.Also a series of clinical data were recorded,such as the rate of heart automatic rebeat after aorta off-clamping,ventricular arrhythmia,usage of dopamine in operation and postoperation.(Results)In both groups,the blood concentrations of MDA and SOD were all within normal range before operation.MDA level at T_(2) was lower in Group HL than that in control(P

Objective To observe the protective effect of Astragalus hoangtchy preconditioning on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury in rabbits and structural and functional changes of mitochondria so as to provide prevention evidence of Astragalus hoangtchy being taken into clinical treatment for myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury.Methods Thirty-two healthy male rabbits were divided randomly into four groups: sham-operation group(Group A),ischemic reperfusion group(Group B),astragalus hoangtchy preconditioning group(Group C) and 5-HD plus Astragalus hoangtchy preconditioning group(Group D),with eight rabbits in each.All rabbits in the four groups were killed 2h after reperfusion.We examined Ca2+ concentration,MDA content,and SOD activity of myocardial mitochondria and observed ultrastructural changes of myocardium under electron microscope.Results SOD activity of myocardial mitochondria in Group C was significantly higher than that in Group B(P

Objective To investigate the effect of sevoflurane preconditioning on the expression of Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) during myocardial ischemia reperfusion(IR) in rats.Methods Thirty male SD rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=10 each):sham operation group (S group) , IR group and sevoflurane preconditioning group(SP group).Myocardial ischemia was produced by temporary ligation of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery for 30 min followed by 2 h reperfusion. In SP group, the animals inhaled 2.5% sevoflurane for 30 min followed by 15 min washout before ischemia. The rats were sacrificed at 2 h of reperfusion, hearts removed and myocardial tissues obtained for microscopic examination.The expression of TLR4, NF-κB and TNF-α was detected using Western blot. Results The expression of TLR4, NF-κB and TNF-α was significantly up-regulated in IR and SP groups compared with group S (P＜0.05).The expression of TLR4, NF-κB and TNF-α was significantly down-regulated in group SP compared with group IR (P＜0.05).The myocardial injury was attenuated in group SP.Conclusion Sevoflurane preconditioning can attenuate myocardial IR injury by inhibiting the up-regulation of TLR4 expression and reducing the inflammatory response.

Objective To compare the effects and side effects of tramadol and morphine used for patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) delivery system after abdominal total hysterectomy Methods A single centre, randomized double-blind study of ASAⅠ～Ⅱ 80 patients undergoing elective abdominal total hysterectomy with inhalational anesthesia was performed. The patients were divided into four groups: tramadol group (group T, n=20), morphine+droperidol group (group M+D, n=20), morphine group (group M, n=20), and tramadol +droperidol group (group T+D, n=20). The study lasted for 24 h and the following data were collected: heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, VAS, sedation score (SS), Prince Henry score (PHS) as well as side effects. The consumption of analgesics within 24 hours were also recorded. Results VAS and PHS showed no differences between the four groups. M+D group was higher than the other groups in 4, 8, and 12 h of SS. The rates of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) of group T and group M were higher than those of group M+D (P

Objective To study the protective effect of hyperoxic liquid preconditioning in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods Thirty rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: group A undergoing all procedures except ischemia-reperfusion, group C receiving the routine infusion of hyperoxic liquid 15mL/kg for seven days, and group B receiving the routine treatment infusion of saline instead of hyperoxic liquid 15mL/kg. Seven days later, the myocardial ischemic reperfusion model (I/R) was fabricated, ECG and homodynamic index were monitored simultaneously. Plasma MDA and SOD level was assayed before ligation, 30min after ligation and 1, 2, 3h after reperfusion. Results Hyperoxic liquid preconditioning can lower ST segment and improve index of hemodynamics and significantly reduce myocardial infarction size in group C compared with group B((P

Objective To investigate the cardio-protective effects of fructose-1,6-diphosphate on myocardium during coronary artery bypass graft.Methods A total of 30 patients were treated with coronary artery bypass graft(CABG) and divided into group A(treated group) and group B(control group) randomly.Each group included 15 patients.In the treated group,patients were treated with FDP three days before CABG and treated with FDP before cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB).FDP was replaced by 0.154mol/L NaCl of the same volume in control group.Blood samples were collected from all patients after induction and at 1h,4h,24h and 48h after aortic declamping to measure the serum concentration of cTnI,CK-MB,SOD and MDA.Results The levels of CK-MB and cTnI at 1h,4h,24h and MDA at 1h,4h after reperfusion were significantly lower in the treated group than those in the control group(P

Objective To investigate the effects of phosphocreatine on apoptosis following myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in diabetic rats. Methods Male SD rats weighing 150-170 g were used in this study.Diabetes mellitus was induced by high fat diet and intraperitoneal streptozotocin. Twenty-seven rats in which diabetes mellitus was successfully induced were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 9 each): sham operation group (group S);myocardial I/R group(group I/R )and phosphocreatine group (group PP). Myocardial I/R was induced by 30 min occlusion of left anterior descending branch of coronary artery followed by 2 h reperfusion in I/R and PP groups. In group PP phosphocreatine 1 g/kg was given intraperitoneally 30 min before myocardial I/R. Blood samples were collected at the end of 2 h reperfusion for determination of plasma concentration of calcium troponin T (cTnT). The animals were then sacrificed and iscbemic myocardial specimens were isolated. The expression of Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-3 in isehemic myocarcdium was determined and Bcl-2/Bax ratio was calculated. Myocardial apoptosis was detected by TUNEL and apoptotic index was calculated. The ultrastructure of cardiomyocytes was examined with electron microscope. Results Myocardial I/R significantly increased plasma cTnT concentration and Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-3 expression in myocardium and apoptosis index and decreased Bcl-2/Bax ratio. Phosphocreatine significantly attenuated I/R-induced above-mentioned changes and myocardial damage. Conclusion Phosphocreatine can reduce myocardial I/R injury in diabetic mellitus rats by reducing myocardial apoptosis through up-regulation of Bcl-2 expression and down-regulation of Bax and Caspase-3 expression.

Objective To investigate the changes in gastric intramucosal pH(pHi) and the effect of hyperoxic liquid on intramucosal pH(pHi) after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rabbits.Methods Twenty healthy male adult rabbits,weighing 2.3-3.0 kg,were randomly divided into two groups: control group(n=10) and hyperoxic liquid group(n=10).Hyperoxic liquid group received the routine infusion of hyperoxic liquidle of 10 mL/kg for seven days,while control group received the routine treatment infusion of saline instead of hyperoxic liquid of 10 mL/kg.Seven days later,the myocardial ischemic reperfusion model(I/R) was established,and ECG and homodynamic indexes were monitored simultaneously.Hemodynamic indexes and pHi were measured before myocardial ischemia,30 min after myocardial ischemia as well as 1 h and 2 h after reperfusion.Results Hyperoxic liquid could lower ST segment and improve hemodynamic indexes.pHi decreased significantly after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in both groups.Compared with that in control group,pHi was significantly higher at 1 h and 2 h after reperfusion in hyperoxic liquid group(P

Objective To investigate the effects of ischemic postconditioning on mitochondrial permeability transition and mitochondrial transmembrane potential(△Ψm)following hepatic ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)in rats.Methods Forty male SD rats weighing 220-260 g were randomly divided into 5 groups with 8 animals in each group:sham operation group(group S);atractyloside+sham operation group(group A+S);I/R group;ischemic postconditioning group(group IPO)and atractyloside+ischemic postconditioning group(group A+IPO).The animals were anesthetized with intramuscular injection of atropine 0.05 mg/kg.Hepatic I/R was produced by occlusion of hepatic blood flow for 60 min followed by 6 h reperfusion.In group A+S,atractyloside 5 mg/kg was injected intravenously before abdomen Was closed.In group IPO,the animals were subjected to 3 cycles of 1 min reperfusion interspersed with 1 min hepatic isehemia at the end of 60 min hepatic ischemia.In group A+IPO,atractyloside 5 mg/kg was injected intravenously before reperfusion. Venous blood samples were collected for determination of serum ALT and AST activities immediately before ischemia and at 6 h of reperfusion. The animals were then sacrificed.Their livers were removed for microscopic examination, detection of apoptosis and determination of cytochrome c (Cyt c) expression, △Ψm and mitochonerial permeability transition pore (MPTP)activity. Apoptosis index (AI) was calculated. Results There was no significant difference in serum ALT and AST activities, AI, Cyt c expression, △Ψm and MPTP activity between S and A + S groups (P＞0.05). Compared with group S, serum ALT and AST activities and AI were significantly increased, Cyt c expression was up-regulated, △Ψm was decreased and MPTP activity was increased in groups I/R, IPO and A+IPO(P＜0.05).Compared with group I/R, serum ALT and AST activities and AI were significantly decreased,Cyt c expression was down-regulated, △Ψm was increased and MPTP activity was decreased in group IPO(P＜0.05), while no significant change was found in group A+IPO(P＞0.05).Compared with group IPO,serum ALT and AST activities and AI were significantly increased, Cyt c expression was up-regulated, △Ψm was decreased and MPTP activity was increased in group A + IPO(P＜ 0.05).Microscopic examination showed that hepatic injury was reduced in group IPO compared with group I/R, while aggravated in group A+ IPO compared with group IPO. Conclusion Ischemic postconditioning can protect liver from I/R injury by attenuating the I/R-induced increase in MPTP opening and decrease in △Ψm in rats.
