Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2013;44(9):1168-1173
Objective: To investigate the central oxidative stress characteristics of rats with postoperative fatigue syndrome (POFS) and the antifatigue mechanism of ginsenosides Rb1. Methods: Rat models of POFS were established by using the 70% middle part of small bowel resection method. Ninety-six SD rats were randomly divided into control, model, and ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1, 10 mg/kg) groups by weight. Rats in each group were administered 1 h before operation and were then divided into four subgroups at days 1, 3, 7, and 10. Morris water-maze test was done on postoperative days 2-7. Meanwhile, grasping test, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities were detected on postperative days 1, 3, 7, and 10 and the ultrastructure of hippocampal CA1 area was observed through electron microscope. Results: Compared with the control group, the maximum grip of model rats had an obvious decline on days 3, 7, and 10 (P < 0.05). The total average escape latency was significantly extended (P < 0.05) and the platform crossing times were significantly reduced (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the above indexes of rats in GRb1 group were effectively improved after the intervention (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, on postoperative days 1 and 3, the MDA content was obviously increased (P < 0.05) and SOD activity was obviously raised (P < 0.05). On postoperative day 7, GSH-Px activity was obviously raised (P < 0.05). After the intervention of GRb1, the MDA content was effectively decreased (P < 0.05), SOD and GSH-Px activities were effectively improved (P < 0.05). Electron microscope showed that the ultrastructure of hippocampal CA1 area of rats in GRb1 group was significantly improved. Conclusion: Surgical stress leads to the state change of central oxidative stress; GRb1 could reduce the damage of oxidative stress by strengthening the activity of central anti-oxidant enzymes, so as to protecte central neurons, which may be one of the mechanisms against POFS.

Objective To improve the ventilation mode for respiratory failure based on the self-made respirator. Methods For the conscious COPD patients with type II respiratory failure, nasal mask and NEEP ventilation mode were used. Patients breathe in air through the mouth and breathe out through the noses. There is no need of manual control tube to control the negative pressure in the nasal mask. For the non-typical type I respiratory failure, exhaled gas comes out from the one-way channel in the front of the mask, while oxygen for the next breathes is brought into the ball through the tube under it. Results The COPD patients breathe more freely and smoothly without disturb of the manual control tube. On the non-typical type I respiratory failure, FiO2 is much higher and without breath in CO2. Conclusion The new ventilation mode can provide a great range of FiO2 and get ride of redundant CO2. It's beneficial to the recovery of patients.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the effect of early usage with Wulingjun powder on the behavior of rats with post-traumat-ic stress disorder(PTSD)and the level of interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and IL-6 in their hippocampi. METHODS:50 SD rats were ran-domized into control group(normal saline),model group(normal saline),positive control group(paroxetine,10 mg/kg)and the groups of low and high-dose(0.4,0.8 g/kg)Wulingjun powder. The rats in all groups except for control group,were exposed to single prolonged stress for the establishment of PTSD models. Corresponding drugs were given ig immediately after such establish-ment,qd,for 7 consecutive days. An open field test(the times of the rats’entering the central area and the percentage of the time the rats spent in exploring the central area within 10 min were recorded)was conducted 7 days after giving drugs;and an elevated plus-maze test(the times of the rats’in opening arms and the percentage of the time the rats spent in opening arms within 5 min were recorded)was carried out 8 days thereafter,to observe the behavior of the rats. Then the rats were sacrificed to determine the level of IL-1β and IL-6 in their hippocampi by ELISA. RESULTS:Compared to the normal group,the behavioral index of the rats in model group was significantly lower,and the level of IL-1β and IL-6 in their hippocampi was significantly higher(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared to model group,the behavioral index of the rats in positive control group and the group of high-dose Wuling-jun powder was significantly higher,and the level of IL-1β and IL-6 in their hippocampi was significantly lower (P<0.05),but no statistically significant difference was shown in all indexes in the group of low-dose Wulingjun powder (P>0.05). CONCLU-SIONS:High-dose Wulingjun power can improve the anxiety-like behavior of the rats with PTSD,which may be related to the re-duction in the level of IL-1βand IL-6 in the hippocampus.
