Objective To investigate the effects of different body temperatures on the neuromuscular block induced by different doses of cisatracurium in rabbits. Methods Seventy-two healthy New Zealand white rabbits of both sexes weighing 2.0-2.2 kg were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=24 each): hypothermia group (L), normothermia group (N) and hyperthermia group (H). The rectal temperature was set at 34.5℃, 38.5℃ and 41.8℃ in group L, N and H respectively. Each group was further divided into 4 subgroups (n=6 each) receiving intravenous cisatracurinm 0.33, 0.66, 0.99 and 1.32 mg/kg respectively after rectal temperature was stabilized for 20 min. The animals were anesthetized with iv 20% methane 1 g/kg, tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated (VT 12 ml/kg, RR 60 bpm, I:E = 1:2;FiO2 100% ). TOF was monitored. The onset time, the duration of action (from the end of cisatracurium injection to the recovery of T1 to 5%, 25% and 95% of control height) and recovery index (recovery of T1 from 25% to 75% of control height) were recorded. MAP, HR and rectal temperature were recorded at 5 min before alteration of the body temperature, at 2 min before and 5, 10, 30, 60 and 90 min after administration of cisatracurium. Results (1) With the same dose of cisatracurium the onset time and duration of action were significantly shorter in group H, longer in group L and recovery from N-M block faster in group H, slower in group L as compared with group N. (2) At the same body temperature the onset time was significantly shortened and the duration of action and recovery were significantly prolonged as the dose of cisatracurium increased. (3) There was significant difference in the effect of interaction between different doses of cisatracurium and different temperatures on the onset time. (4) With the same dose of cisatracurium MAP was significantly decreased in group H, increased in group L, while HR was significantly increased in group H, decreased in group L. Conclusion The neuromuscular blocking effect of cisatracurium is decreased when the body temperature is increased and vice versa. The neuromuscular blocking effect of cisatracurium (0.33-1.32 mg/kg) is dose-dependent at the same body temperature. There is interaction between the two factors.

Objective To evaluate the role of myosin light chain kinase(MLCK)in the increase in the permeability of human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells(HPMVECs)induced by mechanical stretch.Methods HPMVECs were cultured in vitro and then randomly divided into 3 groups(n = 4 each): mechanical stretch group(group S),ML9 treatment group(group M)and control group(group C).In group S,the monolayer cells and magnetic beads coated with an RGD peptide were incubated in serum-free MCDB131 medium for 2 h,the unbound beads were washed out,and then the cells were exposed to magnetic twisting stimulation(MTS)for 2 h(frequency 3 Hz,intensity 4.2 mT).In group M,the monolayer cells and magnetic beads coated with an RGD peptide were incubated for 2 h in serum-free MCDB131 medium in which MLCK inhibitor ML9(50μmol/L)was added,and the other procedures were the same as in group S.In group C,the cells after washing as in group S were incubated for 2 h without exposing to MTS.Monolayer permeability was detected with FITC-dextran flux in transwell model.The distribution of integrin αVβ3 and actin was detected using the immunofluorescence assay.Results Compared with group C,the permeability of HPMVECs was significantly increased in group S,while no significant change was found in group M.Compared with group S,the permeability of HPMVECs was significantly decreased in group M.In addition,actin polymerized to form stress fiber,and integrin αVβ3 clustered at the end of stress fiber in group S,while actin mainly distributed in the surrounding area of the cell membrane and integrin αVβ3 evenly distributed on the cell surface in group C and M.Conclusion The mechanism by which mechanical stretch induces the increase in the permeability of HPMVECs is related to MLCK activation-mediated stress fiber formation and integrin αVβ3 clustering.

Sometimes a pilomatrixoma on upper neck can be misdiagnosed as primary salivary gland tumor, skin adnexal tumor or metastatic carcinoma. On fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC), characteristic features are ghost cells, basaloid cells, and calcium deposits, among which presence of ghost cells seems to be the key to recognize it. Here we present a cytologically misdiagnosed case of pilomatrixoma. A 32-year-old man presented a subcutaneous mass on the right posterior neck. It has grown slowly for 1 year, and was nontender, well circumscribed, hard, and movable mass. An initial FNAC yielded only monomorphic population of highly mitotic basaloid cells, without anucleated ghost cells, chronic inflammatory cells or foreign-body giant cells, suggestive of a poorly differentiated carcinoma. However, that was inconsistent with patient's clinical findings. For further correct diagnosis, FNAC was repeated, which yielded the basaloid cells and foreign-body giant cells. The diagnosis of pilomatrixoma could be made and the mass was excised. This case demonstrates that the pilomatrixoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of subcutaneous aspirates containing not ghost cells but a dominant population of basaloid cells.

Aim To investigate the effect of ranolazine postconditioning on myocardial apoptosis, the reperfusion injurysalvage kinase and the opening of MPTP in isolated rat hearts subjected to ischemia and reperfusion.Methods The langendorff mode was set up.Fifty-five SD rat hearts were randomly divided into 8 groups (n=7): ischema and reperfusion (I/R group),20 μmol·L~(-1) ranolazine postconditioning group(RPostC),ranolazine and the specific MPTP opener atractyloside group (RA), ranolazine and the specific ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059 group (RP), ranolazine and the specific PI3K inhibitor PD98059 wortmannin group(RW), atractyloside group(A), PD98059 group (P) and wortmannin group (W). The isolated hearts were subjected to 30 minutes ischemia,10minutes drug postconditioning and 5 mitutes K-H buffer reperfusion.Myocardial apoptosis (TUNEL-positive cells), apoptotic index (AI), the opening of MPTP (spectrophotometry) and the The expression of p-AKT and p-ERK1/2 protein were measured at the end of reperfusion in each group.Results Compared with IR group, Myocardial AI and opening of MPTP were decreased in RPostC groups (P<0.05), the expression of p-AKT, p-ERK1/2 protein were increased in RPostC, RA, RP, and RW groups (P<0.05).There were no significant differences in other groups(P>0.05). Compared with RPostC group, Myocardial AI and opening of MPTP were increased in RA, RP, RW, A, P and W groups (P<0.05), and the expression of p-AKT、p-ERK1/2 protein were decreased in RP, RW, A, P and W groups (P<0.05). There were no significant differences of the expressions of p-AKT,p-ERK1/2 protein in RA groups (P>0.05). Compared with RA group, there were no significant differences in myocardial AI and opening of MPTP (P>0.05) and the expression of p-AKT and p-ERK1/2 protein were decreased in RP, RW, A, P and W groups (P<0.05).Conclusions Ranolazine postconditioning can attenuate myocardial apoptosis in isolated rat hearts subjected to ischemia and reperfusion via activation RISK pathway and inhibition of the opening of MPTP.
