China Pharmacy 2015;(32):4529-4531
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the protective effects of adjunctive general anesthesia of dexmedetomidine on cardiac and cerebral ischemia-perfusion injury. METHODS:50 patients,ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅱ,undergoing selective tracheal intuba-tion,were randomly divided into dexmedetomidine group (group D) and control group (group C) with 25 cases in each group. The patients in group D received a loading dose of 1 μg/kg of dexmedetomidine by infusion pump before anaesthesia,10 min lat-er by a maintenance dose of 0.5 μg/(kg·h)till the end of surgery;whereas patients in group C received normal saline and same induction. HR,SBP and DBP of 2 groups were monitored at the beginning of operation,10 min after incision,30 min after inci-sion,at the end of operation. Blood samples of vena jugularis interna were taken to determine the plasma levels of cardiac tropo-ninⅠ(cTnⅠ) ,adrenaline and norepinephrine before anesthesia induction (T0),at the end of surgery (T1),6 h after surgery (T2),12 h after surgery(T3),24 h after surgery(T4),48 h after surgery(T5). RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in the levels of HR,SBP and DBP in group D between during operation and at the beginning of operation(P>0.05);those in-dex were significantly lower than those of group C at corresponding time points,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The lev-els of cTnⅠ in group D at T2-T5 were significantly lower than in group C,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The levels of adrenaline and norepinephrine at T1-T5 were significantly lower than group C,with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLU-SIONS:Adjunctive general anesthesia of dexmedetomidline can improve cardiac and cerebral ischemia-perfusion injury to certain extent.

Objective To establish a purified model of rat retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) cultured by serum-free medium,and provide a good cell model to investigate the damage of RGCs in glaucoma,retinal ischemia,and degenerative retinopathy. Methods Two monoclonal antibodies,anti-rat SIRP (OX-41) against rat macrophage and antibody against rat Thy-1 (OX-7),were used to purify and characterize RGCs from 1-3-day old Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats by means of two-step filtration.Purified RGCs were cultured in serum-free neurobasal medium containing B27 and ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) meeting the neuronal cell's special requirements.Photomicrographs illustration,immunfluorescence staining of Thy-1,calcein-acetoxymethyl ester (calcein-AM) fluorescence images were used to observe and identify cultured retinal cells and purified RGCs. Results Among the primary cultured rat retinal cells,91% were retinal neurons.Protuberances of RGCs were seen after cultured for 24 hours.At the4th to 8th day,many cells had uniform configuration,large body,and long protuberances. At the 14th day,over 60% cells maintained viability.Immunoflurescence staining of Thy-1 showed the purity of RGCs was about 90%. The results of calcein-AM staining,which stained the living cells only,showed large cell body of RGCs and most of RGCs had a protuberance whose length was twice longer than the diameter of the cells. Conclusion RGCs cultured by serum-free medium has uniform size,good configuration,and high purity,which is adapt to the research of damage of RGCs caused by various factors and to evaluate the protective effects of neuroprotective agents.
