Objective To study the influence of pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) induced by cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB) on pulmonary function and the preventive effect of nicardipine.Methods Sixteen patients scheduled for cardiac valve replacement were randomly divided into two groups : control group ( n = 8) and nicardipine group ( n = 8) . In nicardipine group nicardipine 0.02 mg kg-1 was given at the beginning of CPB; while in control group normal saline was given instead of nicardipine. All patients were operated upon under TIVA with large doses of fentanyl. Swan-Ganz catheter was placed via internal jugular vein after induction of anesthesia. Mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP), pulmonary vascular resistance index (PVRI) and lung compliance were measured and calculated before CPB (T0 ), 5min after declamping of vena cava (T1 ), at tennination of CPB (T2) and at the end of operation (T3 ). At the same time points arterial and mixed venous blood samples were taken for determination of TNF-a, SOD and LPO concentrations and polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) count, intrapulmonary PMN trapping (PMNa-PMNv) and blood gases and calculation of PaO2/FiO2 , P(A-2,)O2 difference and Qs/Qt. The vena cava cross-clamping time was defined as pulmonary ischemia time. Results (1) In control group MPAP, PVRI, PaO2/FiO2 and Qs/Qt were significantly deteriorating after vena cava declamping (T1-T3) as compared with the baseline valves (T0) (P

Objective To assess the mechanisms that contribute to lung injury in patients undergoing heart valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) .Methods Eight HYHA grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ patients (4 males, 4 females) aged 47-67 years weighing 49.4-68.6 kg undergoing heart valve replacement with CPB were studied. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular morphine 0.1-0.2 mg?kg-1 and scopolamine 0.3 tng. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.05-0.1 mg? kg-1 , fentanyl 15-20 ?g?kg-1 and pipecuronium 0.1 mg?kg-1 and maintained with intermittent Ⅳ boluses of midazolam 0.05 mg?kg-1 , fentanyl 10-30?g?kg-1 and pipecuronium 2 mg. Swan-Ganz catheter was placed via internal jugular vein after induction of anesthesia. Operation was performed under mild hypothermic (28-32℃) CPB. Blood samples were taken from radial and pulmonary artery for blood gas analysis and determination of neutrophil (PMN) counts, plasma TNFa and LPO concentrations and SOD activity prior to CPB (T0), 5 min after venae cava declamping (T1) and at the end of CPB (T2) and operation (T3 ) . The differences in the variables measured between pulmonary artery and vein were calculated to show the PMN entrapped, TNFa produced, SOD depleted and LPO released in the lungs. The alveolar-arterial oxygen tension difference (PA-aDO2) and intrapulmonary shunt( QS/QT)were calculated. Lung ischemia time was defined as the duration between occlusion and release of vena cava superior and inferior. Results The mean lung ischemia time was (97?21)min. MPAP, PVRI, PA-a.DO2 and QS/QT significantly increased after CPB, while PaO2/FiO2 and lung compliance significantly decreased compared with those before CPB (P

Objective To study the local irritation of repeated intrathecal injection of Ziconotide Acetate,and to provide reference for irritancy evaluation ofintrathecal injection.Methods Sixteen New Zealand rabbits were assigned into two groupsat random:Control group and Ziconotide Acetate group,eight animals each group.Totally 50 μL saline or Ziconotide Acetate (100 μg/mL) were administrated by repeated lumbar intrathecal injection once daily for 7 d.Animal behavior was observed every day,and four animals in each group were sacrificed 2 d later after the last injection,the lumbar spinal cord was removed for histopathological examination and irritancy evaluation.The remaining animals were sacrificed for initancy evaluation 14 d later after the last injection.Results Only one animal died after anesthesia on day three in saline group,while no obvious adverse reactions were observed in other rabbits during the entire study,and no intrathecal irritant reactions of histopathological examination were found in both groups.The reversible minor mechanical damage was observed at the injection point,2 d after the last administration.Conclusion For 7 d repeated lumbar intrathecal injection in rabbits,no intrathecal irritant reactions observed in Ziconotide group,and the New Zealand rabbit could be used as a local irritation evaluation model.

Objective To investigate the clinical implications of portal vein bloodletting immediately before reperfusion during orthotopic liver transplantation(OLT).Methods Thirty-two patients with end-stage liver diseases undergoing non veno-venous OLT were divided into bloodletting group (n=21)and control group(n=11).During anhepatic phase,we maintained mean arterial pressure ＞70 mm Hg,cardiac index＞2.5 L·min-1·m-2 by infusion,norepinephrine and dopamine.Blood samples were taken at the time when portal vein was clamped(T1),the time when portal vein was unclamped (T2),10 minutes after neohepatic phase(T3),neohepatic phase 30 minutes(T4)for electrolytes,blood gas and plasma inflammatory cytokines.Hemodynamic and ventilation parameters were also recorded.Results There was no significant difference in mortality(X2=1.12,P＞0.05)and arrhythmia incidence (X2=1.73,P＞0.05)between the two groups.Serum calcium,magnesium were both significantly lower than normal.After anhepatic phase,potassium,tumor necrosis factor alpha,interleukin-6 in radial artery didn't alter significantly;Bloodletting had no effect on lactic acid.There was no significant difference in hemodynamic and ventilation parameters among four time periods.Conclusion Bloodletting seemed to have no effect on changes of internal environment.

The adverse reactions caused by traditional Chinese medicine have occurred frequently, but there is a lack of scientific,objective and standardized methods for safety evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine.In the process of preclinical evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine, it is imperative to form a set of scientific, standardized and feasible evaluation system of modem Chinese herbal drug.We established the preclinical safety evaluation system of modem Chinese herbal drug including the quality control system of samples for the preclinical safety evaluation, the toxicity evaluation system of modem Chinese herbal drug and its preparation and the evaluation management system, and standardized each research link of preclinical evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine.Whether from protecting patients' health and increasing the safety of clinical medication, or from enriching and improving traditional Chinese medicine science, developing traditional Chinese medicine and promoting mutual connection of traditional Chinese medicine and international medicine, it has important instructional significance and application value.
