Objective To investigate the effect of remifentanil pretreatment on lipid peroxidation following acute myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (1/R) in rabbits. MethodsForty healthy adult rabbits of both sexes weighing 1.5-2.5 kg were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 8 each): group control (group Ⅰ ); group I/R(group Ⅱ ); group morphine pretreatment + I/R (group Ⅲ ); group remifentanil (group Ⅳ ) and group remifentanil pretreatment + I/R (group Ⅴ ). The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 2% pentobarbital 45 mg/kg and were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation. PET CO2 was maintained between 35-45 mm Hg. Myocardial I/R was induced by iv pituitrin 2.5 U/kg in group Ⅱ , Ⅲ and Ⅴ. In group Ⅰ and Ⅳ normal saline 0.3 ml/kg was injected iv instead of pituitrin. In group Ⅲ morphine 3.3 mg/kg was injected iv at 30 min before iv pituitrin. In group Ⅳ and V remifentanil was infused at 3.3 μg· kg-1 ·min-1 for 30 min before iv normal saline and pituitrin.Venous blood samples were taken before (baseline) and at 24 h and 48 h after iv pituitrin for determination of serum cTnI concentration. The myocardial specimens were taken at T3 after blood sampling for microscopic examination and determination of SOD activity and MDA content. ResultsIntravenous pituitrin 2.5 U/kg significantly increased serum cTnI concentration and myocardial MDA content and decreased myocardial SOD activity in group Ⅱas compared with group Ⅰ . Morphine or remifentanil preatment significantly attenuated the myocardial I/R-induced changes mentioned above. Microscopic examination showed that myocardial tissue damages were ameliorated in group V as compared with group Ⅱ . ConclusionRemifentanil pretreament can attenuate acute myocardial ischemic injury by inhibiting lipid peroxidation.

Objective To investigate the role of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) on the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy of peripheral lung lesions. Methods Ninty-six patients with pleural-based lesions underwent percutaneous ultrasound-guided biopsy. Of the 96 patients,54patients underwent CEUS before biopsy and enhancement information was referred for the selecting of tissue sampling site. The rest of 42 patients didn' t undergo CEUS before biopsy. The difference in the diagnostic accuracy between the two groups was analyzed to evaluate the value of CEUS before biopsy.Results Of the 52 patients in the CEUS group,48 were malignant,and 6 were benign. Of the 42 patients in the un-CEUS group,36 were malignant, and 6 were benign. Necrosis (areas lacking of enhancement) was demonstrated in 41.7% (20/48) of the patients with malignant lesions in CEUS group, and necrosis incidence was increased with the increase of the dimension of the malignant lesions. No necrosis area was demonstrated in 6 benign lesions. The rate of successful initial biopsy in CEUS group (98.1 % ,53/54) was statistically higher than that in un-CEUS group ( 85.7%, 36/42 ) ( P < 0.05 ). Tissue necrosis and denaturalization attributed to most of the inconclusive pathologic diagnosis. Conclusions CEUS before transthoracic peripheral lung lesion biopsy improved the diagnostic accuracy of the procedure by providing information for differentiating viable or necrotic tissue and consequently provide more accurate information about the site of biopsy.

In order to study the effects and the possible mechanisms of Daxx overexpressed in HepG2 to hydrogen peroxide treatment, and to search new targets for cancer chemotherapy, HepG2cells were transfected using lipofectamine 2000, and selected by treatment with G418. Stable cell lines were confirmed by reverse transeriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) targeting vector gene. Experiments include the following groups: (1) control group (non-transfected cells); (2) transfected with empty vector (HepG2/GFP cells); and (3) transfected with pEGFP-C1-Daxx (HepG2/GFP-Daxx cells). After incubation with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for 24 h, cellular viability was analyzed by MTT, and cellular apoptosis was measured by flow cytometric analysis. Gene expression at protein level was detected by Western blot. The RT-PCR results showed that Daxx RNA in cells transfected with pEGFP-C1-Daxx was increased significantly compared with that in the HepG2/GFP cells. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that Daxx protein was localized in the nuclei. Hydrogen peroxide was used to induce apoptosis of HepG2 cells and observed that the hydrogen peroxide decreased the viability of HepG2 cells in concentration-dependent pattern. The IC50 values in three groups (Normal cells, HepG2/GFP cells and HepG2/GFP-Daxx cells) were 0.72, 0.76, and 0.49 mmol/L respectively. The apoptotic ratio was significantly higher in HepG2/GFP-Daxx cells as compared to the other two groups. HepG2/GFP-Daxx cell incubated with hydrogen peroxide, showed a significant increase in the activation of caspase-3 and JNK as compare with the other groups. Over-expression of Daxx facilitated HepG2 cells apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide. Furthermore, there may be a synergetic relation with apoptosis and increase of JNK activity.
