Objective To investigate the effect and its mechanism of diazoxide on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) of rats after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.Methods Sixty Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,I/R group,and diazoxide pretreatment groups of low,middle,large dose (5,10,20 mg/kg).The I/R models of rats were performed to undergo middle cerebral artery embolism by thread.BBB permeability was estimated by Evans blue (EB) dyeing,transmission electron microscope (TEM) was used to observe the modification of interendothelial tight junction (TJ) of capillaries.The expression of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in every rat brain tissues was detected by immunity histochemistry technique.Results (1) Compared to sham operation group,the permeability extent of EB were significantly increased by I/R,which was distinctly attenuated in middle and large dose of diazoxide pretreatment rats,while no obvious changes were found between I/R and low dose groups.(2) TEM showed that TJ of the brain tissue opened after I/R injury and no significant opening of TJ was observed in middle and large dose of diazoxide preconditioning groups.(3) Compared to sham operation group,the expression of AQP4 in the brain tissue of the I/R group was apparently increased (P <0.01).Compared to I/R group,the expression of AQP4 was apparently increased in middle and large dose pretreatment groups (P < 0.01),and there were no obvious difference between low dose group and the I/R group.Conclusions Preconditioning of ischemia/reperfusion injury with diazoxide protects the blood-brain barrier,which may due to keep the TJ closed and decrease expression of AQP4 protein.

Objective To investigate the influence of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer or colon cancer on immune indices and micrometastasis.Methods According to the treatment method,80 cases of gastric cancer or colon cancer in the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from May 2016 to May 2017 were divided into observation group and control group,with 40 cases in each group.The observation group was treated with laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer or colon cancer,and the control group was treated with open stomach cancer or colon cancer radical operation.The changes of immune indicators of peripheral blood and micrometastasis of peritoneal lavage fluid were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the preoperative immune indicators in peripheral blood of the two groups of IgG [(8.1 ±2.6)g/L],IgA[(1.6 ±0.9)g/L],IgM[(0.8 ± 0.2)g/L],C3[(0.7 ±0.3)g/L]and C4[(0.2 ±0.1)g/L]levels were decreased at first and then increased,and at 7d after operation,the levels[(10.5 ±2.3)g/L,(2.4 ±0.5)g/L,(1.3 ±0.6)g/L,(1.2 ±0.4)g/L,(0.5 ± 0.2)g/L]were closed to the preoperative levels.The level of IL-10[(98.8 ±32.4)g/L]increased obviously first,and then gradually decreased.The differences of C3 and IL-10 in the two groups were statistically significant at different time points,between the two groups and between different points(F=3.6786,5.769,4.668,4.625,9.375,5.354,all P<0.05).The other indicators were only statistically different among different time points(F=3.578,4.137,3.966,all P <0.05).At the end of the surgery,the CEA and DDC of the two groups were significantly increased,and the CEA[(1165.2 ±386.5)ng/L vs.(1788.6 ±725.5)ng/L]and DDC[(102.5 ±36.5)ng/L vs.(150.5 ±57.2)ng/L] levels and added value in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(t=6.543,5.669,5.712,4.935,all P<0.05).Conclusion Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer or colon cancer can improve the immune indices of the patients and reduce the index of micrometastasis in the peritoneal lavage fluid.
