Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on inflammatory response and the changes of serum inflamma-tory mediator caused by cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB)in cardiac valve replacement surgery.Methods 30 patients scheduled for cardiac valve replacement were randomly divided into two groups:experimental group(n=15)and control group(n=15).For the experimental group,dexmedetomidine was infused intravenously with the dose of 2.0μg·kg-1 ·h-1 after induction of anesthesia. In control group,normal saline was given instead of dexmedetomidine.Blood samples were taken from radial artery in each of the following five time points:after induction of anesthesia(T1 ),the beginning of CPB(T2 ),after beginning of CPB 40 min(T3 ),after the termination of CPB 2 h(T4 )and 24 h(T5 )for determination of TNF-α、IL-6、IL-10.Results The concentration of TNF-α、IL-6、IL-10 levels showed no significantly difference between the two groups before CPB(P>0.05).But serum TNF-α、IL-6 levels of ex-perimental group were significantly lower and IL-10 were significantly higher than control group(P<0.05 or P<0.01)at the time points of T3~T5 .All biomakers rose significantly at the time of T3 and T4 in both groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01).At the time of T5 IL-6、IL-10 returned to preoperative levels(P>0.05)while TNF-αremained heigh level(P<0.05 or P<0.01)in both groups. Conclusion dexmedetomidine can regulate the release of the serum inflammatory mediator which suggest that dexmedetomidine may alleviate the systemic inflammatory reaction resulting from cardiopulmonary bypass in cardiac valve replacement surgery.

Objective To investigate the modulation of affective pictures on experimental tonic cold and heat pain in a behavioral study. Methods Fifteen healthy female subjects went through the tonic cold and tonic heat stimulation when watching the affective pictures in a counter-balanced order after the pictures were grouped into the pleasant, the unpleasant and the neutral picture sets. The pain tolerance time ( PTT ) was recorded.Results The tolerance time was prolonged when watching the pleasant and unpleasant pictures contrast to thatwhen watching the neutral ( Unpleasant ( 146.20 ± 13.68 ) s, Neutral ( 86. 73 ± 12.93 ) s, Pleasant ( 145.27 ±15.99 ) s, F(2,42) = 5.718, P < 0.01 ) ). However, no significant difference was observed in the heat pain test under the different experimental conditions ( Unpleasant ( 74.73 ± 15.78 ) s, Neutral ( 68.80 ± 15.85 ) s, Pleasant ( 78.80± 14.81 )s, F(2.42) =0. 109, P>0.05) ). A correlation between the residual difference of arousal in pleasant and neutral picture sets and the residual difference of heat PTT in pleasant and neutral picture sets was investigated (r = 0.546, P = 0.035 ). Conclusion Besides the emotional valence,the arousal may be one of the key elements that modulate the tonic pain.
