Anthracycline-based antitumor drugs are one of the highly effective broad-spectrum anti-cancer drugs that are commonly used clinically. However, anthracyclines have the serious side effect of cumulative dose-related cardiotoxicity. Clinically, intake of myocardial protective drugs is one of the most important strategies for the safe use of anthracyclines in chemotherapy. Numerous cancer patients un-dergoing chemotherapy also require surgery, during which general anesthesia is commonly used. Various studies have shown that propofol and sevoflurane, the most commonly used general anesthetics, present a significant protective effect in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion damage. Therefore, for patients who have just undergone chemotherapy with anthracyclines, anthracycline-induced myocardial injury may occur at the acute or chronic phase of surgery. Consequently, if the effect of anesthetics on the cardiotoxicity of anthracyclines is similar to the protective effect of these drugs for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion damage, this protective effect on cardiotoxicity will have significant impact on the recovery of cardiopulmonary function of patients after surgery. Thus, further studies are needed to establish the effect of anesthetics on the cardiotoxicity of anthracyclines.

Objective To compare the efficacy of different does of remifenanil combined with propofol for colonoscopy.Methods Ninety ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 35-63 yr,weighing 45-72 kg,scheduled for elective painless outpatient colonoscopy,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =30 each):remifentanil 0.2 μg/kg group (group Ⅰ),remifentanil 0.5 μg/kg group (group lⅡ) and remifentanil 1.0 μg/kg group (group Ⅲ).In groups Ⅰ-Ⅲ,remifentanil 0.2,0.5 and 1.0μg/kg were injected over 60 s,respectively,and then propofol 1.0 mg/kg was injected intravenously for induction.The colonoscope was inserted after loss of eyelash reflex.When body movement appeared during examination,remifentanil 0.1 μg/kg + propofol 0.5 mg/kg,remifentanil 0.25 μg/kg + propofol 0.5 mg/kg,and remifentanil 0.5μg/kg+ propofol 0.5 mg/kg were added in groups Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ,respectively.The operation time,induction time,emergence time,examination room discharge time,and body movement,hypotension,bradycardia,hypoxemia and respiratory depression during operation were recorded.Results There was no significant difference in the operation time,induction time,emergence time,and examination room discharge time between the three groups (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with group Ⅰ,the incidence of body movement was significantly decreased,and the incidences of hypotension and respiratory depression were increased in group Ⅱ,and the incidence of body movement was significantly decreased,and the incidences of hypotension,hypoxemia,bradycardia and respiratory depression were increased in group Ⅲ (P ＜ 0.05).The incidences of hypoxemia,bradycardia and respiratory depression were significantly higher in group Ⅲ than in group Ⅱ (P ＜0.05).Conclusion The optimum dose of remifentanil is 0.5 μg/kg when combined with propofol for colonoscopy.

BACKGROUND:Drug treatment for senile dementia has unsatisfactory outcomes although to a certain extent it can reduce and delay the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Stem cel transplantation is a new attempt for the treatment of senile dementia.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation on the behavior of senile dementia rats.
METHODS: Rat models of senile dementia were made in 20 Sprague-Dawley rats that were given continuous 60-day gavage of aluminium chloride solution. Then, model rats were randomized into model group treated with normal saline injection and experimental group treated with hippocampal injection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels, respectively. Another 10 rats undergoing normal feeding served as control group. Learning and memory ability of rats were tested by Morris water maze, and superoxide dismutase activity and malondialdehyde content in brain tissues of rats were measured by colorimetric method at 4 weeks after cel transplantation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the model group, the escape latency was shortened and the cross-platform frequency was increased in the experimental group (P < 0.05), and moreover, significantly elevated superoxide dismutase activity and reduced malondialdehyde content in the brain tissues of rats were found in the experimental group (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation contributes to behavior improvement in senile dementia rats by improving the learning and memory ability.

BACKGROUND:An amyloid-beta (Aβ) aggregation in the brain can induce nerve cel apoptosis, loss of synapses and functional damage. However, there is stil no effective intervention. Improving the synaptic plasticity provides an important direction for the treatment of early Alzheimer’s disease. OBJECTIVE: To screen the best model of Alzheimer’s disease and to explore the expression of synapse-associated proteins in Aβ25-35-injured PC12 neurons. METHODS:PC12 cels were induced by 50 μg/L nerve growth factor to differentiate into neuronal-like cels. Then, these cels were treated with Aβ25-35 at different concentrations. Consequently, cel survival rate was detected using cel counting kit-8; neurogranin and neuregulin immunofluorescence stainings were used to observe morphological changes of model cels; western blot used to detect the expression level of neurogranin, calmodulin kinase II, postsynaptic density-95 proteins. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Over time, the survival rate of PC12 neurons induced by Aβ25-35 was decreased in a dose-dependent manner. Shortened synaptic length, neuronal atrophy and sparsely interconnected neurons were visible. Expression levels of neurogranin, calmodulin kinase II and postsynaptic density-95 proteins were al down-regulated. These findings indicate that to screen the cel model of Alzheimer’s disease, the optimal concentration and interventional time of Aβ25-35are 10 μmol/L and 48 hours, respectively.

Objective To investigate the effects of propofol and sevoflurane on adriamycin chemotherapy-induced myocardial damage in rats.Methods Twenty-four healthy male Wistar rats, aged 3 months, weighing 212-270 g, were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table: control group (group C) , adriamycin group (group ADM) , adriamycin-propofol group (group ADM-Pro) , and adriamycin-sevoflurane group (group ADM-Sevo).The equal volume of normal saline was injected intraperitoneally in group C.In group ADM, adriamycin 2.5 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally once every other day for 6 times (11 days in total).In group ADM-Pro, adriamycin 2.5 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally once every other day for 6 times, and at 3 days after the last administration of adriamycin, propofol anesthesia was performed as follows : the total amount of propofol injected intraperitoneally was 200 mg/kg, the initial dose was 100 mg/kg, and 1 h later the remaining amount was added, and the duration of anesthesia was about 2 h.In group ADM-Sevo, adriamycin 2.5 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally once every other day for 6 times, and at 3 days after the last administration of adriamycin, sevoflurane anesthesia was performed as follows: 1.5％-3.0％ sevoflurane was inhaled for 2 h.After the end of anesthesia, blood samples were collected for determination of serum cardiac troponin (cTnI) concentrations.Myocardial specimens were collected for detection of caspase-3 expression by immuno-histochemistry.Results Compared with group C, the serum cTnI concentration was significantly increased, and the caspase-3 expression was up-regulated in ADM, ADM-Pro and ADM-Sevo groups (P＜ 0.05).Compared with group ADM, the serum cTnI concentration was significantly decreased, and the caspase-3 expression was down-regulated in ADM-Pro and ADM-Sevo groups (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the parameters mentioned above between group ADM-Pro and group ADM-Sevo (P＞0.05).Conclusion Propofol and sevoflurane both can mitigate adriamycin chemotherapy-induced myocardial damage in rats, without significant difference in the efficacy.
