Objective To investigate the effects of intraoperative intravenous ulinastatin infusion on perioperative lung function in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG). Methods Twenty-four NYHA class Ⅰor Ⅱ patients aged 65-75 y undergoing elective OPCABG were randomly divided into 2 groups(n=12 each): control group (C) and ulinastatin group (U). In group U, after tracheal intubation the patients received iv injection of ulinastatin 6 000 U/kg over 30 min followed by iv ulinastatin infusion at 1 000 U·kg-·h-1 until the end of surgery. In group C equal vohtme of normal saline was administered iv instead of ulinastatin. Radial artery and right internal jugular vein were cannulated for BP and CVP monitoring and blood sampling. The patients were premeditated with intramuscular morphine 10 mg. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.1 mg/kg, fentanyl 10 μg/kg and pipecuronium 0.1 mg/kg and maintained with 1%-2% sevoflurane in 70% O2 and intermittent iv boluses of fentanyl and pipecuronium. Blood samples were taken before (T1) and at the end of operation (T2) and at 4, 8, 20 h after operation (T3.5) for determination of plasma CD11/CD18 expression, plasma IL-6 and serum NO concentrations, and blood gases. P(A-a) O2 and respiratory index (RI) (RI=P(A-a)O2/PaO2) were calculated. Mechamcal ventilation time in ICU was recorded. Results The two groups were comparable with respect to age, sex, body weight, duration of anesthesia and surgery, and the number of bypass grafts. The plasma level of IL-6, and expression of CD11 b/CDI8 were significantly increased while serum NO level was significantly decreased after operation as compared to the baseline values before operation (T1) in group C. There was no significant change in the plasma levels of IL-6, CD11b/CDI8 expression and serum levels of NO after operation in group U. P(A-a)O2 and RI were significantly increased after operation in both groups and were significandy lower in group U than in group C. The mechanical ventilation time in ICU was significantly shorter in group U than in group C. Conclusion Intravenous ulinastatin inihsion can significantly protect lung function during OPCABG by inhibiting inflammatory response.

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of ulinastatin on platelet counts and function after normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in rabbits. Methods Fifty lung-ear white rabbits aged 5-6 months weighing 2.3-3.0 kg were randomly assigned to one of 5 groups (n = 10 each) : control group (group C) and4 ulinastatin groups (group U~1, U_2,U_3,U_4). The rabbits received ulinastatin 1×10~4, 3×10~4, 5×10~4 and 10×10~4 U/kg before CPB in group U~1, U_2, U_3 and U_4 respectively while equal volume of normal saline was given instead of ulinastatin in group C. All rabbits underwent CPB for 30 min at perfusion flow of 72-120 ml·kg~(-1) ·min~(-1). The rectal temperature was maintained at 36.5-37.5℃. Hemodynamic parameters were recorded and blood platelet count, platelet adhesion rate and platelet membrane glycopretein Gp Ⅰ b, Gp Ⅱ b, Gp Ⅲ a receptors were determined before CPB (baseline), at termination of CPB and at 1, 2 and 3 h after CPB. Results The platelet counts were significantly decreased after CPB in all 5 groups (P< 0.05), but there was no significant difference among the 5 groups. The platelet adhesion rates were significantly decreased after CPB as compared with the baseline value before CPB in all 5 groups but the platelet adhesion rates were significantly higher after CPB in group U_4 than in group C. The number of molecules of Gp Ⅰ b, Gp Ⅱ b and Gp Ⅲ a receptors was significantly decreased after CPB in all 5 groups. The number of molecules of Gp Ⅰ b, Gp Ⅱ b and Gp Ⅲ a receptors after CPB was significantly higher in group U_2, U_3 and U_4 than in group C, and there was no significant difference between group U_3 and U_4 . ConclusionUlinastatin 3×10~4-5×10~4 U/kg administered before CPB can inhibit breakdown of platelet membrane glycoprotein receptors. Ulinastatin 10×10~4 U/kg can preserve the platelet adhesion function.

Objective To investigate the blood-saving effect of tranexamic acid in off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB). Methods Two hundred and sixty ASA Ⅰ- Ⅲ and NYHA Ⅰ- Ⅲ patients of both sexes,aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index 16-22 kg/m2 , undergoing OPCAB, were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 130 each): control group (group C) and tranexamic acid group (group T) . Anesthesia was induced with iv injection of midazolam 0.1 mg/kg, fentanyl 5-10μg/kg and pipecuronium 0.1 mg/kg. The patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated. PEr CO2 was maintained at 35-45 mm Hg. A bolus of tranexamic acid 1 g was infused intravenously within 30 min after indution followed by continuous infusion at 400 mg/h until the end of operation in group T. While equal volume of normal saline was given in control group. Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of isoflurane and intermittent iv injection of fentanyl and pipecuronium. Venous blood samples were taken before induction, at the end of operation and at 24 h after operation for determination of Hb, platelet count (P1t), prothrombin time (PT) and international normalized ratio (INR). The volume of chest tube drainage was collected and recorded at 6 and 24 h after operation. The requirement for transfusion of allogeneic red blood cells and fresh frozen plasma was also recorded. Results There was no significant difference in Hb, Plt, PTand INR at each time point between the two groups ( P > 0.05). The requirement for transfusion of allogeneic red blood cells and fresh frozen plasma was significantly reduced in group T as compared with group C ( P < 0.05 or 0.01 ). No deaths and complications occurred during hospital stay in the two groups. Conclusion Tranexamic acid exerts the blood-saving effect in OPCAB.
