Objective To investigate the effects of emulsified isoflurane preconditioning on lung ischemia-reperfusion (Ⅰ/R) injury in rats.Methods Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-320 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),group Ⅰ/R,intralipid group (group IL),and emulsified isoflurane preconditioning group (group EI).Lung Ⅰ/R was produced by clamping the left hilum of lungs for 1 h followed by 2 h of reperfusion in anesthetized rats.In group S,intraperitoneal normal saline 10.5 ml/kg was injected,but the hilum was only exposed 24 h later.In groups Ⅰ/R,IL and EI,intraperitoneal normal saline 10.5 ml/kg,30% intralipid 10.5 ml/kg and 8% emulsified isoflurane 10.5 ml/kg were injected intraperitoneally,respectively,and then the model was established 24 h later.At the end of reperfusion,blood samples were collected from the left ventricle for measurement of PaO2,PaCO2,plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration (by ELISA).The rats were then sacrificed,and left lungs were removed immediately for microscopic examination and for determination of myleoperoxidase (MPO) activity (using colorimetric method) in pulmonary specimens.Wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio) was calculated.Results Compared with group S,W/D ratio,MPO activity,plasma MDA concentration and PaCO2 were significantly increased,and PaO2 was decreased in the other three groups.Compared with group Ⅰ/R,W/D ratio,MPO activity,plasma MDA concentration and PaCO2 were significantly decreased,and PaO2 was increased in IL and EI groups.W/D ratio,MPO activity,plasma MDA concentration and PaCO2 were significantly lower,and PaO2 was higher in group EI than in group IL.The pathological changes of the lung were significantly attenuated in group EI compared with group Ⅰ/R.Conclusion Emulsified isoflurane preconditioning can reduce lung Ⅰ/R injury in rats,and inhibition of pulmonary inflammatory responses and of production of oxygen free radicals are involved in the mechanism.

Objective To investigate the effects and anti-atherosclerotic mechanism of rosiglitazone on the expression of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) and reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) in atherosclerotic rabbits. Methods Twelve rabbits were randomly divided into two groups (6 each): control group (only high cholesterol diet for 6 weeks), rosiglitazone group [high cholesterol diet plus rosiglitazone 0.5mg/(kg?d) for 6 weeks]. ABCA1 expression and [3H] cholesterol efflux rates were evaluated by flow cytometry and liquid scintillation spectrometry, respectively. Enzymatic methods were used to assay serum lipids levels and cholesterol contents in tissues, and the atherosclerotic area of aorta was calculated by professional image analysis software. Results For the rabbits of both control and rosiglitazone group, the serum levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (NHDL-C) and apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1) significantly went up when they took their cholesterol rich diet for 6 weeks (P0.05). Compared with control group, the ABCA1 expressions in monocytes, peritoneal macrophages, adipocytes and hepatocytes, as well as the cholesterol efflux rates in peritoneal macrophages, adipocytes and hepatocytes increased significantly (P

A device of extrahepatic portacaval shunt is introduced. This device is composed of the daughter and parent magnets and the vascular interventional operation equipment. It is based on the principle of magnetic compression technology, through the intervention approach the daughter and mother magnet are moved to the portal vein and inferior vena cava, respectively. Then the two magnets attract and compress the vessel walls of portal vein and inferior vena cava. Two weeks later, the magnets are detached from the vessel wall with a RUPS-set and the portacaval shunt is established. It is mainly used for the treatment of portal hypertension. It belongs to the interventional operation, there is no any foreign body remaining after the portacaval shunt is established, which can maintain long-term patency. Futhermore the portacaval shunt will not be expanded, therefore it can significantly reduce the incidence of hepatic encephalopathy.
