Objective To investigate the protective effect of matrine on lung injury associated with single lung ventilation during thorac-ic surgery,and to explore and consummate the prevention and control measures of single lung ventilation related lung injury.Methods To-tally 97 cases of non small cell lung cancer patients were randomly divided into the observation group ( 50 cases ) and the control group (47 cases) .The two groups of patients were given the same way of anesthesia.Patients of the observation group received intravenous drip of 2 mL matrine injection which were dissolved in 100 mL saline solution 30 min before anesthesia, while patients of the control group were merely given 100 mL saline solution 30 min before anesthesia.The pulmonary shunt fraction( Qs/Qt) ,xanthine oxidase( XOD) ,myeloperoxi-dase(MPO),superoxide dismutase(SOD) and nitric oxide(NO) of the following points in time were compared:before anesthesia induction (T0),the instant of OLV (T1),60 minutes after OLV(T2),120 minutes after OLV(T3),after lung inflation (T4),and 24 hours after opera-tion ( T5) .Results At the time of T1 to T4,pulmonary shunt fraction of the two groups were both significantly higher than that at T0 with sig-nificant difference ( P<0.05) ,but there was no statistical difference in terms of intra-group comparison at different time points ( P>0.05) .The PMN counts of the two groups at the time of T2 to T5 were significantly higher than that of T0 with significant difference (P<0.05),and the PMN counts at the time of T2 to T5 in the control group were significantly higher than that in the observation group with significant difference (P<0.05).The levels of serum XOD,MPO,and SOD at T2 to T4 in both of the two groups were significantly higher than that at T0 with signif-icant difference (P<0.05),and the serum levels of XOD,MPO and SOD at T2 to T4 in the control group were significantly higher than those in the observation group with significant difference (P<0.05).The levels of serum NO at T2 to T4 in both of the two groups were significantly higher than that at T0 with significant difference (P<0.05),and it was significantly lower than that in the observation group with significant difference (P<0.05).Conclusion The matrine pretreatment of lung injury in the patients with single lung ventilation has a protective effect, which can reduce the levels of oxidative stress and promote the NO release in patients by reducing PMN,XOD and MPO levels.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Shenfu Injection (SFI) on erythrocyte immunity function of patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

METHODSTwenty patients scheduled for valve replacement were randomly assigned to two groups, i.e. , the SFI group and the control group, 10 in each. SFI 1 mL/kg was intravenously dripped before induction of anesthesia and SFI 1 mL/kg administered in priming solution in the SFI group, while only normal saline was given to those in the control group. Venous blood samples (5 mL) were collected before induction of anesthesia (T1), 30 min CPB (T2), immediate by the end of CPB (T3), and postoperative 24 h (T4) respectively in all groups. The levels of the rosette rate of RBC-C3b receptor (RBC-C3bRR), the rosette rate of RBC-immune complex (RBC-ICR), plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), free hemoglobin (FHB), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were detected.

RESULTSThere was no significant difference in the levels of RBC-C3bRR, RBC-ICR, plasma MDA, FHB, and IL-6 at T1 in both groups (P > 0.05). RBC-C3bRR at the rest time points was lower in the two groups than before induction of anesthesia. There was no statistical difference in FHB or IL-6 between T4 and T1 in the SFI group. The levels of RBC-ICR, MDA, FHB, and IL-6 increased in the two groups more than before induction of anesthesia at T2-4 ( P < 0.05). Besides, the RBC-C3b RR was lower, and levels of RBC-ICR, MDA, FHB, and IL-6 higher in the control group than in the SFI group, showing significant difference (P <0.05).

CONCLUSIONSFI could decrease the generation of inflammatory mediators during CPB, improve the erythrocyte immune function of patients during CPB, and reduce the risk of postoperative infection.
