Objective To investigate the effects of inhalation of different concentrations of sevoflurane on pulmonary inflammatory response in rats. Methods One hundred and twenty adult Wistar rats of both sexes weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 4 groups: Ⅰ control group breathing room air (group C, n = 12);Ⅱ oxygen group breathing 40% O2(group O, n = 36);Ⅲ and Ⅳ sevoflurane groups breathing 1.5% and 3.0% sevoflurane in 40% O2 respectively (group S1, S2, n = 36). Group Ⅱ was further divided into 3 subgroups according to the duration of 40% O2 inhalation 4 h, 8 h and 10 h. Group Ⅲ and Ⅳ were further divided into 3 subgroups ( n = 12 each) breathing sevoflurane for 4 h, 8 h and 8 h followed by 2 h O2 (40%) inhalation. The animals were sacrificed at the end of O2 or/and sevoflurane inhalation. Broncho-alveolar lavage was performed in 6 animals in each subgroup. The TNF-α concentration in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid was determined. The TNF-α mRNA expression and MPO activity in the lung tissue were measured in the other 6 animals in each subgroup. Results Inhalation of 1.5% or 3.0% sevoflurane for 4 or 8 h did not induce inflammatory response in the lung as compared with animals breathing room air or 40% O2 . Conclusion Exposure to sevoflurane does not induce pulmonary inflammatory response in rats breathing spontaneously.

[Objective]To discuss the initiating and developing mechanism of OPLL,and the influence of different operations on happening and developing of OPLL.[Method]We subgroup healthy adult S-D rats into groups,did operation on C 3~6 level.The first group:laminectomy;the second group:laminectomy and muscle cutting;the third group:muscle cutting only;the fourth group:exposure only;contrasting group:no treatment.We got the tissue of posterior longitudinal,ligament at 1,2,4,and 8 weeks post-operation and quantify BMP-2 and BMP-7 by PCR method.[Result]BMP-2,BMP-7 increased significantly in the 1st,2nd and 3rd group compared with the contrastinggroup;BMP-2,BMP-7 of only exposure group had no significant difference compared with the contrasting group.[Conclusion]BMP-2 and BMP-7 play important roles in the early stage of OPLL,they could be the on-setting factors of OPLL.BMP-7 may play an important roles in the later ossification period.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between the expression of Dishevelled2 and Vangl2 and the embryonic neural tube defects (NTDs) induced by all-trans retinoic acid (RA)in Kunming mouse. Methods Fifty pregnant mice were randomly divided into control and RA-treated groups.RA-treated mice were fed with 30mg/kg RA dissolved with peanut oil on embryo 7.75 days, while the mice of control group were administrated with an equal volume of peanut oil on the same time. Then all the embryos were sampled from pregnant mice at the 4th, 18th, 42nd, 66th and 90th hour after treatment. In situ hybridization and immunohistochemical staining technique were used to detect the expression of Dishevelled2 and Vangl2 in embryonic neural tube. Results The two proteins both existed in the epithelial tissue of the mouse embryonic neural tube and displayed different expression modes at various developmental stages.Compared with the control group, the RA treated group showed a significant decrease (P≤0.05) at the 18th and 42nd hour and a significant increase (P≤0.05) at the 66th hour in Dishevelled2 protein after maternal treatment, and no significant difference was found at the 90th hour. Compared with the control group, the Vangl2 mRNA expression in the RA treated group displayed a significant decrease (P≤0.05) at the 4th and 18th hour and a significant increase (P≤0.05) at the 66th hour after RA treatment, and no difference was found at the 42nd hour. Compared with the control group, the expression of Vangl2 protein in the RA treated group decreased (P≤0.05) at the 18th and 42nd hour, and increased (P≤0.05) at the 90th hour after RA treatment, no difference was found at the 66th hour. Conclusion Excessive RA may interfere with the normal embryonic neural tube closure by regulating the expression of Dishevelled2 and Vangl2.
