In the present study carried out in our laboratory, we recorded local field potential (LFP) signals in primary visual cortex (V1 area) of rats during the anesthesia process in the electrophysiological experiments of invasive microelectrode array implant, and obtained time evolutions of complexity measure Lempel-ziv complexity (LZC) by nonlinear dynamic analysis method. Combined with judgment criterion of tail flick latency to thermal stimulus and heart rate, the visual stimulation experiments are carried out to verify the reliability of anesthetized states by complexity analysis. The experimental results demonstrated that the time varying complexity measures LZC of LFP signals of different channels were similar to each other in the anesthesia process. In the same anesthesia state, the difference of complexity measure LZC between neuronal responses before and after visual stimulation was not significant. However, the complexity LZC in different anesthesia depths had statistical significances. Furthermore, complexity threshold value represented the depth of anesthesia was determined using optimization method. The reliability and accuracy of monitoring the depth of anesthesia using complexity measure LZC of LFP were all high. It provided an effective method of realtime monitoring depth of anesthesia for craniotomy patients in clinical operation.

AIM: To detect the changes of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in kidney following ischemia-reperfusion(I-R)of hindlimbs and to elucidate their significance. METHODS: I-R was established using the occlusion of the femoral arteries for 4 h and re-opening for 2-24 h in rats. The expression of iNOS mRNA,and iNOS protein and the nitrotyrosine (NT),a marker of peroxynitrite (ONOO -),in renal tissue were detected with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemical technique,respectively. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in renal tissue were spectraphotometrically measured. The observation of pathologic changes of renal tissue was made following the inhibition of iNOS by aminoguanidine (AG). RESULTS: Compared with control group,the relative expression level of iNOS mRNA significantly increased in I-R group. There were more iNOS and more NT positive product in the epithelial cells of renal proximal convoluted tubules and thick segments of Henle′ loops in I-R group than control group. The contents of MDA markedly increased,while the activity of SOD significantly decreased in I-R group,compared to those in the control groups. The pathologic changes of kidney became milder in I-R group following the inhibition of iNOS by AG. CONCLUSION: The expression of iNOS mRNA and protein in renal tissue were significantly upregulated,excess induction of NO contributed to the kidney injury during the I-R of hindlimbs.

AIM: To detect the changes of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression in kidney following ischemia-reperfusion of hindlimbs and to elucidate their significance. METHODS: Health SD rats were randomly divided into normal (N), sham (S), 4h ischemia without reperfusion (I), 4 h ischemia-2, 6, 12, 18 or 24 h reperfusion (I-R) groups and I-R18h+zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP) group. I-R was established using the occlusion for 4 h and re-opening for 2-24 h of the femoral arteries. In I-R 18 h+ZnPP group, ZnPP (5 ?mol?kg~(-1) body weight) was intravenously injected 6 h and 12 h after reperfusion, respectively. The expression of HO-1 mRNA in kidney was detected with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The expression and location of HO-1 protein were detected with immunohistochemical technique. The observation of pathologic changes of kidney was made following the inhibition of HO-1 by ZnPP. RESULTS: The relative expression level of HO-1 mRNA significantly increased in I-R group, compared to those in the control groups, It was maximal in I-R 18 h group, and thereafter expression level of HO-1 mRNA decreased, however significant expression was still detected in I-R 24 h group (P

AIM:To investigate the pathologic changes in the brain and its underlying mechansims during ischemia-reperfusion of rat hindlimbs.METHODS:SD rats were divided into the normal(N), sham(S), 4 h ischemia without reperfusion(I), and 4 h ischemia-2, 6,12,18 or 24 h reperfusion (I-R) groups at random. Ischemia and ischemia-reperfusion were established with the occlusion or/and re-opening of the terminal of abdominal aorta, respectively. The pathologic changes in the brain tissue were morphologically observed. The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA, and iNOS protein and the nitrotyrosine, a marker of peroxynitrite (ONOO-)，in the brain tissue were detected with RT-PCR and immunohistochemical technique, respectively. The brain superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents were spectraphotometrically measured.RESULTS:Hydropic degeneration and severe injury to neurons were only showed in I-R group. Expressions of iNOS mRNA and protein were demonstrated in I-R, I and S groups, which were maximal in I-R 6 h group. iNOS positive neurons and microglias were more spread in I-R 6 h group than those in S and I groups. NT positive neurons were localized in the cerebral cortex and hippcampus of I-R 6 h group. The contents of MDA markedly increased, while the activity of SOD significantly decreased in I-R 6 h group compared to the N, S and I groups. There were no significant changes in MDA and SOD in N, S and I groups.CONCLUSION:Severe ischemia-reperfusion of rat hindlimbs could induce brain injury, and its mechanisms might be related to enhanced expression of iNOS-NO-ONOO- in the brain.
