Objective To assess the possible sequestration of remifentanil by the extracorporeal circuit.Methods Two types of extracorporeal circuits (ECCs) were used-Xijian type I (group A)and AFFINITY(R) NT(group B),while in control group (group C) a glass container was used.The ECC and glass container were filled with priming solution (6%hydroxyethyl starch 1000 ml + lactated Ringer's solution 500 ml).Remifentanil Wag then added to the priming solution with the final concentration of 100 ng/ml.The priming solution was circulated in the closed ECC or stirred the glass container.The concentration of remifentanil in the priming solution was determined at 2,5,10 and 15 min after addition of remifentanil.Results The remifentanil concentration in the priming solution decreased by 75.1%,57.9% and 18.3%at 2 min after addition of the drug in group A,B and C respectively as compared with the baseline value.The remifentanil absorption by ECC was significantly greater in group A than in group B.There was no significant difference in remifentanil concentration at the 4 time points in each group.Conclusion ECC can absorb remifentanil.The remifentanil absorption by Xijian type I is significantly greater than that by AFFINITY(R).

Objective To investigate the protective effects of insulin like growth factor 1(IGF-1) on cortical neurons under condition of hypoxia and the possible mechanism. Methods Cerebral cortical neurons from newborn rats were cultured under the condition of oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) . On day 7, neurons were treated with IGF-1 or IGF-1 plus LY294002 or PD98059 under condition of OGD or normal condition. MTT assay was used to analyze the viability of neurons in each group. The expression of total Akt and p-Akt were analyzed by Western blot. Results Compared with the control, the neuron viability was significantly higher in IGF-1 treated group under normal or OGD condition (P<0.05). The protective effects of IGF-1 were attenuated in the presence of LY294002 but not PD98059. The result of Western blot showed IGF-1 upregulated the expression of p-Akt, which was inhibited by LY294002. Conclusion PI3K pathway may play an important role in neuroprotection afforded by IGF-1.

BACKGROUND:Cerebral ischemia often occurs in underlying pathological conditions, such as hypertension,
hyperlipidemia and diabetes. Therefore, it is of great significance to construct a cerebral ischemia rat model with hyperlipidemia and to study the effect of basic pathological changes on the cerebral ischemia.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the brain tissue pathological changes of rat models with coexistence of hyperlipidemia and cerebral ischemia, and the effect of hyperlipidmia on cerebral ischemia.
METHODS:The rats were fed with high-fat diet to establish the hyperlipidmia models, and then focal cerebral
ischemia models were prepared with suture method. At 3 and 7 days after modeling, the 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining was used to observe the volume of brain tissue ischemia, and hematoxylin-eosin staining was
performed to observe pathological change of the margin of the brain tissue ischemia zone.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining staining results showed that the volume of cerebral ischemia was significantly reduced in the hyperlipidemia+cerebral ischemia 7 day group. Hematoxylin-eosin staining results showed there was typical ischemic changes in al the cerebral ischemia models, and the number of microglial cel s after cerebral ischemia for 7 days was significantly smal er than that after cerebral ischemia for 3 days, and the changes were more obvious in the hyperlipidemia+7-day cerebral ischemia group when compared with the hyperlipidemia+3-day cerebral ischemia group. Ultrastructure showed there were neuronal and glial nuclear membrane shrinkage in al the cerebral ischemia models, mitochondria cristae was disappeared completely, endothelial cel mitochondria was decreased, most of the synaptic vesicles of nerve synapse were dissolved;the damages above were improved after ischemia for 7 days, especial y
hyperlipidemia+cerebral ischemia for 7 days, the neuronal degeneration and necrosis were reduced, the
mitochondrial damage was repaired, the number of mitochondrial cristae was increased significantly, and the synaptic vesicles of nerve synapse were recovered significantly. The results indicate that hyperlipidemia can promote the recovery of cerebral ischemic injury,
probably because the hyperlipidemia factors can activate the protection mechanism.

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of Glytan lowering portal pressure induced by biliary liver fibrosis. Methods: SD male rats, 240-260g weight around, were randomly divided into sham-operation group, model group, propranolol group, Glytan high-dose, middle-dose and low-dose group according to the weight. Portal hypertension was induced by common bile duct ligation in rats. After two and four weeks, measured the portal pressure(PP) of each group, observed the histological changes of liver by HE staining, tested liver function and the concentration of endothelin-1 in systemic circulation and mesenteric circulation radioimmnuoassay. Results: After two and four weeks, portal pressure of model group rats increased significantly. Both Glytan and propranolol can decrease PP after two and four weeks, and the pressure-relief effect was similar between the two drugs. HE staining showed that Glytan can significantly inhibit the formation of collagen, promote the recovery of liver tissue structure; liver function indicated a significant decrease in serum AST, ALT, TBIL and Na+ concentration. In addition, Glytan decreased the concentration of endothelin -1 in systemic circulation, increased it in mesenteric circulation after two weeks. Conclusion: Glytan decrease PP by improving liver function and microcirculation, inhibiting collagen formation and water-sodium retention after long-term therapy, ameliorating hyperdynamic circulation at the early stage.

Objective To observe the effect of ulinastatin on tumor necrosis factor(TNF-α)and interleukin-6(IL-6)in radiation-induced lung injury.Methods Severity-two female SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups as control group,irradiation group and treatment group(administered with Ulinastatin).Rats in irradiation group and treatment group were irradiated with linear accelerator at a single dose of 25 Gy.After irradiation rats in treatment group were injected daily with ulinastatin at a dose of 100000 U-kg-1·d-1 for 7 days through caudal vein while rats in control group and irradiation group were injected with the same volume of saline.Rats were killed at 2 h,4,8 and 24 weeks.Samples of lung tissues were observed by using HE staining.Expression of TNF-α in lung was determined by Western blot and expression of IL-6 in serum was determined by ELISA.Data were analyzed by SPSS software.Results Expressions of TNF-α in lung and IL-6 in serum increased significantly after irradiated in irradiation group compared with control group,and it reached the peak at 4 weeks(q=5.63、6.21,P<0.01).Though expressions of TNF-α and IL-6 in ffeatment group also increased compared with control group,the difference between irradiation group and treatment group was statistic significantly(q=4.97、7.42,P<0.01).Conclusions TNF-α and IL-6 play an important role in radiation-induced lung injury.Ulinastatin could suppress the inflammatory response and radiation-induced lung injury effectively by decreasing the levels of TNF-α and IL-6.

Objective To investigate the mechanism by which remifentanil decreases blood pressure during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methode Twenty-six ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients (NYHA's classification grade Ⅱ or Ⅲ ) of both sexes and aged 20-55 years were randomized to receive remifentanil (group R, n = 13) or normal saline (group C, n = 13). Remifentanil 10 μg/kg or equal volume of normal saline was administered via a venous reservoir when cardiac arrest was induced with cardioplegic solution. The flow rate resistance (SVR) were measured and arterial blood samples were taken for determination of plasma concentrations of histamine,nitric oxide (NO) and 6-keta-prostaglandin F1α(PGF1α) before T0 and at 5, 10, 15 min (T5.10.15) after remifentanil administration.Results Remifentanil administration was associated with a significant decrease in MAP and SVR at T5 and T10 as compared with the baseline values at T0 ( P < 0.05); whereas in control group, MAP and SVR were significantly increased at T5, T10 and T15 as compared with the baseline values at T0 . There were no significant differences in plasma histamine, NO and PGF1α concentrations between the two groups.Conclusion Remifentanil reduces SVR and causes a decrease in BP but without altering plasma concentrations of histamine, NO or PGl2.
