Objective To investigate the alleviative effects of lidocaine postconditioning on pulmonary injury following ischemia reperfusion. Methods Seventy-two adult SD rats were randomized to 4 groups; sham group, ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) group, ischemic postconditioning(IPC) group and lidocaine postconditioning group. The pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion model was established by occlusion of the left hilum of lung for 45 min and the reperfusion was taken by removing the clamp for 2 h. At the moment of reperfusion, lidocaine 4 mg/kg was injected as a priming dose following a continuous rate of 4 mg/(kg · h). PaO_2, TNF-α, W/D of left lung, the level of MDA of left lung tissue were measured. At the end of reperfusion left lung was removed for microscopy. Results After reperfusion PaO_2 of lidocaine group was much higher than that of I-R group (P<0.05). Lidocaine postconditioning induced a significant decrease in the level of MDA of lung tissue[(7. 03±1.17) μmol/L] compared with ischemia reperfusion group [(8.77±1.42) μmol/L] (P<0.05). Lidocaine postconditioning resulted in a lower level of TNF-α [(1. 69±0.34) μg/L] than that of I-R group [(2. 52±0. 54) μg/L] (P < 0. 05). Microscopic examination showed that lidocaine postconditioning could decrease the level of edema of left lung and accumulation of neutro-phils. Conclusion Lidocaine postconditioning exerts a protective effect on pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury administered in the beginning of reperfusion. The effect may be explained by to the antioxidant effect and the suppression of expression of TNF-α.

BACKGROUND: Nitric oxide in the central nervous system is involved in controlling the sympathetic outflow. The authors' recent data show that the reduction of nitric oxide in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM)enhanced the cardiac sympathetic afferent reflex (CSAR) evoked by stimulating the cardiac sympathetic afferent nerves in rats with chronic heart failure (CHF).OBJECTIVE: To further investigate the effect of nitric oxide in the RVLM on modulating the CSAR evoked by epicardial chemical stimulation in rats with CHF.DESIGN: Randomized controlled experiment.SETTING: Department of Physiology, Nanjing Medical University, and Department of Cellular and Integrative Physiology, University of Nebraska College of Medicine.MATERIALS: This study was carried out in the Department of Physiology, Nanjing Medical University from July 2003 to May 2004. A total of 52male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 360-420 g were used, and were randomly divided into chronic heart failure group and control group with 23 in each group.METHODS: The rats were carried out either sham surgery or the left coronary artery ligation. Six to eight weeks later, all rats were anesthetized with α-chloralose and urethane and baroreceptor denervated and vagotomized. The CSAR was evoked by epicardial application of bradykinin (BK, 0.04 μg and 0.4 μg in 2.0 μL) to mimic the effect of chemical stimulation on the heart in the CHF state. The renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded at baseline and during elicitation of the CSAR. Cannulae were inserted into the RVLM for microinjections.croinjection of MeTC, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, into the RVLM on Effects of epicardial pretreatment with lidocaine on the CSAR in CHF rats.infarction of (30.6±2.0) % of the left ventricular (LV) surface. The systolic arterial pressure, pulse pressure, left ventricle peak systolic pressure and maximum of the first differentiation of left ventricular pressure were decreased and the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure was significantly ininto the RVLM had no significant effects on the CSAR in rats with CHF,of SNAP (50 nmol) into the RVLM inhibited the CSAR in both sham rats ventricle abolished the CSAR evoked by epicardial application ofBK on the same area.CONCLUSION: Nitric oxide in the RVLM inhibits the CSAR evoked by epicardial application of BK in normal rats and CHF rats, and the reduction of nitric oxide in the RVLM led to the augmentation of the CSAR in CHF rats.

Objective: To study the effects of capsaicin applied locally to infraorbital nerve on primary afferent nerve inadult rats. Methods:Capsaicin solution (2% ) was directly applied onto one lateral intraorbital nerve, and the contralateralnerve was used as self-control. Both experimental and control infraorbita1 nerves were observed under electron tnicroscope on3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 or 42 d after local administration. Substance P(SP)--like immunoreactive positive granules in both lateralnucleus caudalis spinalis nervi trigemini (CNV) were examined by immunohistochemical method. Results: Degenerated un-myelinated fibers in capsaicin-treated nerves were found under electron microscope, and no myelinated fibers changes werefound. The gray scale value of SP-like immunoreactive positive granules in the experimental side was markedly lower thanthat in the control side (P<0. 01), while no significant difference was observed between different time groups. Conclusion:Local administration of capsaicin can produce selective destruction of unmyelinated fibers in primary afferent nerves, and canreduce the levels of SP in regions of CNV. The results suggest that local administration of capsaicin has potential therapeuticvalue for trigeminal neuralgia.
