Objective To evaluation the efficacy of ketamine on the expression of adhension molecular CR3and intracellular cAMP, cGMP in neutrephils in patients associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), as well as the cardiovascular function of the CPB patients. Method Sixty patients operated on with prosthetic valve replace-rnent under CPB were randomly divided into 4 groups: placebo, ketamine 0.1 mg/kg ( ketamine Ⅰ) ,ketamine 0.5 mg/kg ( ketamine Ⅱ) ,ketamine 1 mg/kg( ketamine Ⅲ). Each group included 15 eases. Venous blood sam-pies were obtained during anesthesia induction (T1), 10 min before CPB (T2), end of CPB (T3) and 24 hoursafter operation (T4). The expression of CR3 was measured by Flow cytometry and the concentration of cAMP/cGMP by HPLC. Results Ketamine with various dosages decreased the expression of CR3 at the T3 and T4 inpatients of ketamine groups compared with patients of placebo group (P<0.05). The dosages of ketamine Ⅱgroup and ketamine Ⅲ group had more significant effect than that of ketamine Ⅰ group. The dosages of ketamineⅡ and ketamine Ⅲ group increased the intracellular cAMP at the T3 and T4 compared with ketamine Ⅰ groupand placebo (p<0.05), respectively. However,cGMP was lower in ketamine Ⅱ and ketamine Ⅲ group thanthat in ketamine Ⅰ group and placebo (P<0.05) at the T3.Morever,the mean arterial blood pressure was higherin ketamine Ⅱ and ketamine Ⅲ group at T4. Only the patients of ketamine Ⅲ group required less inotropic drugsafter operation. Conclusions Ketamine can reduce the expression of adhhension molecular CB3 and intracellularcAMP, cGMP in neutrophils from patients associated with CPB.

Objective To investigate the effect of gender factors on the reduction of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by sevoflurane postconditioning in isolated rat cardiomyocytes. Methods Sixty 2-month-old SD rats (30 male, 30 female) were used in this study. Male rats were randomly assigned into 2 groups (n = 15 each):control group (group MC) and sevoflurane postconditioning group (group MS). Female rats were also randomly assigned into 2 groups (n= 15 each): control group (group FC) and sevoflurane postconditioning group (group FS).The rats were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital 60 mg/kg. Their hearts were excised and perfused in a Langendorff apparatus with K-H solution saturated with 95% O2-5% CO2 at 37 ℃. I/R was produced by 40 min of global ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Control groups received perfusion with K-H solution saturated with O2 . Sevofiurane postconditioning groups received 10 min of perfusion with K-H solution saturated with 3%sevoflurane and O2 and then 110 min of perfusion with K-H solution saturated with O2 . HR, left ventricular enddiastolic pressure (LVEDP) and left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) were measured before ischemia and during reperfusion. Coronary effluent was collected at 5 min of reperfusion for determination of LDH activity and infarct size. The total Akt (t-Akt) and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) expression in cardiomyocytes was detected. The ratio of p-Akt to t-Akt (p-Akt/t-Akt) was calculated. Results LVDP, p-Akt expression and p-Akt/t-Akt were significantly higher, LVEDP and LDH activity were significantly lower, and the infarct size was smaller in group MS and FC than in group MC (P ＜ 0.05). LVDP was significantly lower, LVEDP and LDH activity were significantly higher, and the infarct size was larger in group FS than in group MS. There was no significant difference in LVDP and LVEDP between group FC and FS (P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion There are gender differences in the reduction of I/R injury by sevoflurane postconditioning in isolated rat cardiomyocyes, the protective effect is stronger in male rats than in female rats, and the differences may be related to the activation of Akt.

Objective To investigate the effects of sufentanil postconditioning and sevoflurane postconditioning on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in isolated rat hearts. Methods Healthy male SD rats weighing 230-250 g were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 5% chloral hydrate 8 ml/kg. Their hearts were excised and perfused in a Langendorff apparatus with modified K-H solution saturated with 95% O2-5% CO2 at 37℃. Forty isolated rat hearts with I/R injury were randomly assigned into 4 groups ( n = 10 each): Ⅰ I/R group, Ⅱ sevoflurane postconditioning group, Ⅲ sulfentanil postconditioning group and Ⅳ postconditioning with sevoflurane and sulfentanil group. After 30 min of stablization, the hearts were subjected to 40 min of global ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Fifteen minutes of drug postconditioning were performed in group Ⅱ , Ⅲ and Ⅳ:3.0% sevoflurane was introduced into K-H solution in group Ⅱ , 100 nmol/L sulfentanil was added to K-H solution in group Ⅲ , sevoflurane postconditioning and sulfentanil postconditioning were performed simultaneously in group Ⅳ . Left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure ( LVEDP), left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), maximum increase in rate of LVDP ( + dp/dtmax), maximum decrease in rate of LVDP ( - dp/dtmax), HR and coronary flow (CF) were measured at the end of 30 min stablization (baseline), and at 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min of reperfusion. Coronary effluent was collected at 5 min of reperfusion for determination of activities of creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Myocardial tissues were obtained at the end of reperfusion for determination of infarct size (by triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining) and expression of Bcl-2 and Bax (by Western blot). The ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was calculated. Results LVSP, LVDP, ± dp/dtmax,CF, Bcl-2 expression and ratio of Bcl-2/Bax were significantly higher, LVEDP, activities of CK and LDH and Bax expression were significantly lower, and the infarct size was smaller in group Ⅱ , Ⅲ and Ⅳ than in group Ⅰ (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01 ). There were no differences in the indices mentioned above between Ⅱ , Ⅲ and Ⅳ groups.Conclusion Sufentanil postconditioning can attenuate myocardial I/R injury, and there is no enhancement of myocardial protection when combined with sevoflurane postconditioning. The mechanism of myocardial protection is related to the inhibition of cell apoptosis via up-regulation of Bcl-2 expression and down-regulation Bax expression.
