Objective To investigate the protective effects of pretreatment with low-dose ketamine on intestinal mueosa against ischemia-reperfasion injury (I/R) and the underlying mechanism. Methods Forty-eight male SD rats weighing 230-270 g were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 8 each) : group Ⅰ sham operation (S) ;group Ⅱ ketamine + sham operation (KS);group Ⅲ l/R;group Ⅳ ketamine + I/R (K);groupⅤ ketamine + ZnPPⅨ + I/R (KZ) and group Ⅵ ZnPPⅨ + I/R. Ketaminc 10 mg/kg and/or ZnPPⅨ 5 mg/kg were injected intraperitoneally 30 min before I/R in group Ⅳ, Ⅴ and Ⅵ. Intestinal I/R was produced by clamping of superior mesentery artery for 1 h followed by 6 h reperfusion. The animals were then killed and a segment of small intestine of 2 cm in length at about 10 cm from ileocecal valve was removed for determination of MDA content and SOD activity, HO-1 and iNOS expression and histological examination. The degree of intestinal tissue damage was graded using Chiu's scoring system (0 = normal, 5 = severe damage-exfoliation of villi, disruption of proper lamina, bleeding and ulceration). Results Intestinal MDA content was significantly increased, SOD activity was decreased and HO-1 and iNOS expression was significantly up-regulated by I/R (group Ⅲ) as compared with group Ⅰ and Ⅱ . Ketamine pretreatment significantly attenuated I/R-induced increase in MDA content and decrease in SOD activity and the protective effects of ketamine against I/R were counteracted by concomitant asministration of ZnPPⅨ. Microscopic examination showed that the pathological changes induced by I/R were significantly attenuated by ketamine and the protective effects of ketamine pretreatment against I/R were reversed by ZnPPⅨ in group Ⅴ. Conclusion Low-dose ketamine pretreatment can significantly ameliorate intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury and up-regulation of intestinal HO-1 expression and down-regulation of iNOS are involved in the mechanism.

Objective To investigate the effect of postconditioning with propofol and ischemia on the hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. Methods Thirty male SD rats weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 5 groups of 6 animals each: group I sham operation (group S); groupⅡ I/R; group Ⅲ ischemic postconditioning (group IPC); group Ⅳ propofol postconditioning (group PPC) and group V IPC + PPC. In group Ⅱ-Ⅳ the hepatic arteries and veins of middle and left lobes were occluded for 1 h followed by 4 h reperfusion. Ischemia of the liver was confirmed by the color of the liver turning from red to gray. In group Ⅲ and Ⅴ the livers were subjected to six episodes of 10 s ischemia at 10 s intervals at the end of 1 h ischemia before 4 h reperfusion. In group Ⅳ and V 0.5 % propofol 10 mg/kg was given iv at the end of ischemia followed by propofol infusion at 40 mg·g~(-1) ·h~(-1). Blood samples were taken at the end of 4 h reperfusion for determination of serum ALT activity. Mean-while liver specimens were taken for electron microscopic examination and determination of MDA content and SOD activity. Results I/R significantly increased serum ALT activity and MDA content in the liver and decreased liver SOD activity in group Ⅱ . The I/R-induced changes were significantly attenuated by propofol and/or ischemic postconditioning in group Ⅲ ,Ⅱ and Ⅴ . I/R significantly increased Bel-2 and Bax protein expression in the liver cells. Propofol and/or ischemic postconditioning increased Bel-2 protein expression further but decreased Bax protein expression in group Ⅲ , Ⅳ and Ⅴ as compared with group Ⅱ (group I/R).Electron microscopic examination showed that the pathologic changes induced by I/R were less severe in group Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ than in group I/R. Conclusion Postconditioning with propofol and ischemia can reduce the hepatic I/R injury and the mechanism may be related to inhibition of lipid peroxidation and apoptosis, but the efficacy is the same as that of propofol postconditioning alone.
