Objective To investigate the effect of sevoflurane postconditioning on the myocardial oxidative stress injury in patients undergoing heart valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) . Methods Thirty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ and NYHA class Ⅱ or ID patients, aged 30-59 yr, weighing 42-62 kg, scheduled for cardiac valve replacement with CPB, were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 15 each) : control group (group C) and sevoflurane postconditioning group (group S) . Anesthesia was induced with iv injection of midazolam 0.05-0.08 mg/kg, fentanyl 3-6 μg/kg, vecuronium 0.10-0.15 mg/kg and etomidate 0.1-0.2 mg/kg. The patients were tracheal intu- bated and mechanically ventilated. Anesthesia was maintained with intermittent iv boluses of fentanyl and midazolam and continuous infusion of atracurium and propofol. In group S, 2% sevoflurane was given over 15 min via the cardiopulmonary bypass machine immediately after aortic unclamping. Blood samples from the internal jugular vein were collected immediately before skin incision (T1 ) and at 30 min, 3 h and 24 h after aortic unclamping (T2-4 ) for measurement of the plasma malondialdehyde level. Myocardial tissues were taken from the left auricle before operation and after termination of CPB for determination of α-glutathione-S-transferase expression by Western blot. Results The plasma malondialdehyde concentration was significantly lower at T2, 3, while a-glutathione-S-transferase expression in myocardial tissues higher after termination of CPB in group S than in group C ( P < 0.05) . Conclusion Sevoflurane postconditioning can enhance the antioxidant capacity and attenuate the myocardial oxidative stress injury in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement with CPB, which may be helpful to reduce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.

BACKGROUND:The process of oxidative stress that impacts the curative effect exists in the region which accepts cel transplantation. However, there are few reports about the effects of oxidative stress on human dental pulp stem cels and relevant mechanism.
OBJECTIVE:To understand the effect of hydrogen peroxide on the senescence of human dental pulp stem cels.
METHODS:Human dental pulp stem cels were isolated and cultured in PBS, 100 and 200 μmol/L hydrogen peroxide for 2 hours, respectively. Cel morphology was observed under inverted microscope, degree of cel senescence monitored by β-galactosidase staining, cel proliferation ability detected by BrdU kit and cel counting method, cytoskeleton of dental pulp stem cels and expression of sirt1 tested using immunofluorescence method, and expression of sirt1 and p16 proteins measured by western blot assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Dental pulp stem cels exhibited a fibroblast-like morphology with spindle-shaped appearance. After stimulated by hydrogen peroxide, the cel volume was enlarged, theβ-galactosidase staining deepened and the proliferation of dental pulp stem cels reduced. The enhancement of senescence of dental pulp stem cels was accompanied with the increasing concentration of hydrogen peroxide, and in this process, the expression of p16 was raised while the expression of sirt1 was decreased. In conclusion, the senescence of human dental pulp stem cels can be promoted by the stimulation of hydrogen peroxide, and sirt1 and p16 are involved in this process. Our findings may provide a theoretical and experimental foundation for autologous transplantation of dental pulp stem cels.

Objective To observe the expression of AdipoQ in Sj?gren's syndrome (SS) mice and its role in inflammation was investigated by recombinant gene transfection study in vivo. Methods As spon-taneous SS mice model, a total of 30 NOD mice were divided into 3 groups randomly: recombinant adenovirus (rADV-AdipoQ) group, normal saline control and simple adenoviruses (control group). The submandibular gland morphology, histopathological grading and the level of serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), AdipoQ was compared between the three groups. The expression of AdipoQ on mice submandibular gland was assessed by means of semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Results The submandibular glands of the mice of the control group were destructed, with focal lymphocytic infiltration and acinus atrophy. Compared with control model groups, the serum TNF-α and salivary gland AdipoQ expression was significantly down-regulated in the rADV-AdipoQ group [(248 ±30) vs (162 ±73) ng/ml] (P<0.05). Conclusion AdipoQ gene transfected SS mice can significantly improve the morphological features of tissues and decrease the concentration of TNF-αin serum, in addition, it can effectively inhibit inflammation, decrease the degree of protein and AdipoQgene expression. So the AdipoQ may be the protective gene in SS mice.
