Objective:To evaluate the influence of goal-directed volume management based on cardiac output index (CI), intrathoracic blood volume index (ITBVI) and extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery.Methods:Forty patients (ASA 2 to 3 grade) undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery in Lanzhou University Second Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018 were selected. The patients were divided into 2 groups by random digits table method with 20 cases in each group: study group (goal-directed fluid therapy treatment with CI, ITBVI and EVLWI) and control group (conventional fluid therapy). The control group was given central venous pressure (CVP) monitoring rehydration, and the study group was given PiCCO hemodynamic monitoring indicators. The CVP, CI, ITBVI and EVLWI for fluid management were measured. Accurate assessment of volume status of patients was done. The study group received goal-directed fluid therapy based on CVP, CI, ITBVI and EVLWI, with the goal of CI in the 3.0 to 5.0 L/(min·m 2) range, ITBVI in the 800 to 1 000 ml/m 2 range and EVLWI in the 3.0 to 7.0 ml/kg range. The heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), urine volume, central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO 2), lactic acid and renal function were monitored. The ventilator withdrawal time, hospitalization in ICU, length of stay, incidence of acute pulmonary edema, incidence of acute renal failure, mortality of 30 d after surgery were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results:Tissue perfusion and urine volume of the study group was significantly improved compared with that of control group ( P<0.05). ScvO 2 of the study group was higher than that of the routine group ( P<0.05). The concentration of lactic acid of the study group was lower than that of the routine group ( P<0.05). The incidences of acute pulmonary edema, acute renal insufficiency and mortality of the study group were lower than those of the routine group (5.0% vs. 15.0%, 5.0% vs. 10.0% and 5.0% vs. 15.0%), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The length of stay and hospitalization in ICU were both lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Goal-directed fluid therapy based on CI, ITBVI and EVLWI can effectively optimize the cardiac preload of patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery, improve cardiac output, ensure microcirculation perfusion, maintain the balance of oxygen supply and demand, and reduce the incidence of complications and mortality.

This study is to investigate the protective effects of the SB203580 against radiation induced mortality and intestinal injury of mice. A total of 67 male C57BL/6 mice (20.0-22.0 g) were matched according to body weight and randomly assigned to one of three groups: control, total body irradiation exposure (IR, 7.2 Gy) only, and IR (7.2 Gy) + SB203580 (15 mg x kg(-1)). 30 days survival rate was observed in the experiment. In intestinal injury experiment, the expression levels of caspase-3, Ki67, p53 and p-p38 were assayed in the mice intestine crypts. The results showed that the 30 days survival rate was 100% (control), 0 (IR) and 40% (IR+ SB203580), separately. Compared to the IR groups, the positive cells of caspase-3, p53 and p-p38 in crypt cells decreased 33.00%, 21.78% and 34.63%, respectively. The rate of positive cells of Ki67 increased 37.96%. Significant difference was found between all of them (P < 0.01). SB203580 potently protected against radiation-induced lethal and intestinal injury in mice, and it may be a potential radio protector.

Objective To evaluate the effects of GLYX-13 on cognitive function after long-time isoflurane anesthesia in mice. Methods A total of 192 healthy male C57∕B6J mice, aged 8 weeks, weig-hing 22-25 g, were divided into 4 groups(n=48 each)using a random number table: control group (group C), isoflurane anesthesia group(group I), GLYX-13 group(group G), and isoflurane anesthesia plus GLYX-13 group(group IG). The animals were exposed to 15% isoflurane for 6 h in I and IG groups. GLYX-13 1 mg∕kg was injected via the caudal vein at 2 h before anesthesia in G and IG groups. Novel ob-ject recognition test and contextual fear conditioning test were performed on 1st, 3rd and 7th days after an-esthesia. The expression of 2B subunits-containing NMDA receptor(NR2B)and cyclic adenosine mono-phosphate response element-binding protein(CREB)mRNA in the hippocampus was detected by quantita-tive real-time polymerase chain reaction after the end of behavioral tests on 1st, 3rd and 7th days after anes-thesia. Results Compared with group C, the percentage of time spent in exploring a novel object, dis-crimination index and percentage of freezing time were significantly decreased, and the expression of NR2B and CREB mRNA in the hippocampus was down-regulated in group I(P <005). Compared with group I, the percentage of time spent in exploring a novel object, discrimination index and percentage of freezing time were significantly increased, and the expression of NR2B and CREB mRNA in the hippocampus was up-regulated in group IG(P <005). Conclusion GLYX-13 can significantly improve the cognitive func-tion after long-time isoflurane anesthesia in mice.
