Objective To evaluate the role of intercellular gap junction in lung injury induced by hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation in rabbits. Methods Twenty-four healthy rabbits of both sexes weighing 1.5-2.2 kg were used in this study. The animals were anesthetized with iv 3% pentobarbital 30 mg/kg,tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated. Femoral artery was cannulated for MAP monitoring, blood-letting.Right external jugular vein was cannulated for fluid infusion. Hemorrhagic shock was induced according to the method described by Wiggers. MAP was maintained at 35-40 mm Hg for 60 min. The animals were then randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 12 each):traditional treatment group (group A) and octanol group (group B). Both groups received rapid iv infusion of lactated Ringer's solution (LR solution) 1.5 ml·kg-1 ·min-1 for 30 min (T3 ).In group B 99.5% octanol (a specific gap junction inhibitor) 5 mmol/kg was injected intraperitoneally (IP) in addition to iv LR solution infusion. Thirty minutes later the animals were resuscitated with infusion of the blood withdrawn and LR solution (the volume was equal to the volume of blood loss). Then LR solution was infused iv at 2.5 ml· kg-1 · h-1 for 150 min ( T4 ). Left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) and HR were recorded before blood letting (T1), immediately after successful establishment of the model (T2), and at T3 and T4. The mortality during resuscitation was calculated. The animals were killed at T4. Blood samples were taken from femoral artery for determination of the serum protein concentration. The lungs were removed. The left lower lobe was lavnged. The protein concentration in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was measured. Lung permeability index (LPI) was calculated (LPI = protein concentration in BALF protein concentration in serum). Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase activities and W/D lung weight ratio were determined and microscopic examination was performed. Results HR was significantly lower at T3 and T4 and LVSP higher at T4 in group B than in group A. The pulmonary permeability index, W/D lung weight ratio and mortality were significantly lower and the activities of Ns+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+ -ATPase were significantly higher in group B than in group A. The lung tissue danage was significantly ameliorated in group B. Conclusion Intercellular gap junction is involved in the development of lung injury induced by hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation in rabbits.

The treatment of cerebral palsy is still a big medical problem.The pathogenesis of spasticity,as result of a variety of lesions of the cerebral cortex,brain stem,spinal cord,is caused by involvement of the inhibitory pyramidal and parapyramidal descending tracts terminating on the spinal facilitatory myotatic reflex.A lesion of the descending tracts disturbs this equilibrium leading to spasticity,which is cha-racterized by muscle resistance at rest that is velocity dependent and associated with an increase in tonic stretch reflexes resulting from hype-rexcitability of the stretch reflex.Spasticity caused abnomal posture,caused special movement,and higher multilation,which affect children's life severely.There are so many ways to lower hypermyotonia,such as:drugs,rehabilitation care,acupuncture and so on.Bioelectric stimulation therapy is a new ways in the zone.Its curative effect and the mechanism are still in explore,this article just to give an overview about bioelectric stimulation therapy in curing spastic cerebral palsy.
