Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on activations of pulmonary extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK 1/2 )and serine-threonine kinase (Akt) during isolated lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI)in rats.Methods Forty-five adult male Spra-gue-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups (n=1 5 each):control group (group C),is-chemia-reperfusion group (group IR)and dexmedetomidine group (group DEX).Isolated rat lungs were maintained for normal physical activity,and only received ventilation and perfusion for 150 min in the IL-2 ex-vivo lung perfusion system in group C.Isolated rat lungs were subjected to 60 min of is-chemia and apnea followed by 75 min reperfusion and ventilation 15 min after perfusion in the IL-2 ex-vivo lung perfusion system in groups IR and DEX.Dexmedetomidine with a dose of 10 nmol/L was ad-ministrated into perfusion fluid at the onset of reperfusion in group DEX,and the same volume of saline was injected when perfusion for 75 min and at the onset of reperfusion in groups C and IR,respectively.Patho-logical changes of lungs were examined and the injured alveolus rate (IAR)was counted under light micro-scope.The expression levels of ERK 1/2 or Akt mRNA and phosphorylate-ERK 1/2 (p-ERK 1/2 )or phosphorylate-Akt (p-Akt)protein of lung tissue were tested by reverse transcription-polymerase chain re-action (RT-PCR)and Western blot,respectively.Results Compared with group C,the IAR and the ex-pression levels of ERK 1/2 and Akt mRNA or p-ERK 1/2 and p-Akt protein in lung tissue were high-er in groups IR and DEX (P<0.05).Compared with group IR,the IAR and the expression levels of ERK 1/2 and Akt mRNA or p-ERK 1/2 and p-Akt protein in lung tissue were lower in group DEX (P<0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine may reduce LIRI in rat isolated lungs via inhibiting the expressions of IL-6 and IL-8,and the mechanism may be related to suppressing activations of ERK 1/2 and Akt.

Objective To evaluate the effect of ulinastatin on programmed necrosis in hippocampal neurons in a rat model of global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R).Methods Forty-eight clean-grade healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 8 weeks,weighing 280-320 g,were divided into 3 groups (n=16 each) using a random number table method:sham operation group (Sham group),global cerebral I/R group (I/R group) and ulinastatin group (UT group).Global cerebral I/R was produced by 4-vessel occlusion method in chloral hydrate-anesthetized rats in I/R and UT groups.Ulinastatin 100 000 U/kg was injected via the tail vein at the onset of ischemia in group UT,and the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in Sham and I/R groups.Neurological deficit score (NDS) was estimated at 6,12 and 24 h of reperfusion.Animals were sacrificed at 24 h of reperfusion,brains were removed and the hippocampi were obtained for examination of pathological changes (with a light microscope) and for determination of the malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity (by spectrophotometry),and expression of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1),RIPK3,and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) in hippocampal tissues (by Western blot).Results Compared with Sham group,the NDS was significantly increased at each time point,the MDA content was increased,the SOD activity was decreased,and the expression of RIPK1,RIPK3 and MLKL was up-regulated in I/R and UT groups (P< 0.05).Compared with I/R group,the NDS was significantly decreased at each time point,the MDA content was decreased,the SOD activity was increased,and the expression of RIPK1,RIPK3 and MLKL was down-regulated in UT group (P<0.05).The pathological changes of hippocampi were significantly attenuated in UT group when compared with I/R group.Conclusion The mechanism by which ulinastatin ameliorates global cerebral I/R injury is related to inhibiting programmed necrosis in hippocampal neurons of rats.
