Objective To investigate the effect of propofol on C-fos expression and glutamate concentration in rat cerebral cortex induced by ketamine. Methods Twenty-eight male Wistar rats weighing 260-280 g were randomly divided into four groups of seven animals: group 1 received normal saline intraperitoneally (ip) (group NS); group 2 received NS + ketamine 100mg?kg-1 ip (group K); group 3 received propofol 100 mg?kg-1 + ketamine 100mg?kg-1 ip (group PK); group 4 received diazepam 10mg?kg-1 + ketamine 100 mg?kg-1 ip (group DK). The interval between the two intraperitoneal injections was 5 min in each group. The animals were decapitated 30 min after ip injection. C-fos mRNA expression was detected by RT-PCR method and fos protein expression by immuno-histochemical technique. Another forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups of 10 animals as was described above. Two hours after ip injection, five animals in each group were decapitated for microscopic examination and the other five animals for determination of water and glutamate content of cerebral cortex.Results C-fos mRNA expression increased at 30 min after intraperitoneal ketamine. Ketamine induced significant increase in Fos protein expression, and glutamate and water content in cerebral cortex 2 h after ip injection. Propofol and diazepam inhibited the increases induced by ketamine ( P

Objective To evaluate the effect of hypothermia on the pharmacokinetics of rocuronium in the pigs with hemorrhagic shock.Methods Thirty-two Bama mini pigs of both sexes,aged 4-6 months,weighing 22-25 kg,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=8 each) using a random number table:normal temperature control group (group NC),normal temperature+hemorrhagic shock group (group NH),hypothermia control group (group HC),and hypothermia+hemorrhagic shock group (group HH).NC and NH groups were put in the normal temperature environment,and HC and HH groups were put in a freezer at-15 ℃.In NC and HC groups,rocuronium 3.78 mg/kg was injected via the auricular vein after the animals were awake.In NH and HH groups,hemorrhagic shock was then induced by removing 40％ of blood volume from the right femoral artery at a constant speed within 15 min (30 ml/kg),and rocuronium 3.78 mg/kg was injected via the auricular vein at 30 min after the model was successfully established.At 0 (T0),2 (T1),4 (T2),7 (T3),10 (T4),15 (T5),20 (T6),30 (T7),60 (T8),120 (T9),180 (T10),240 (T11) and 300 min (T12) after rocuronium injection,blood samples were collected from the internal jugular vein for determination of the blood concentration of rocuronium by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method.The maximum concentration (Cmax),elimination half-life (t1/2),plasma effect-site equilibration rate content (Ke0),area under concentration curve,and mean residence time (MRT) of rocuronium were calculated.Results Compared with group NC,the blood concentration of rocuronium was significantly decreased at T5-T12 in group NH,the blood concentration of rocuronium was significantly increased at T5-T12 in group HC,and t1/2 was significantly prolonged,Ke0 was decreased,and MRT was prolonged in NH and HC groups (P＜0.05 or 0.01).Compared with group HC,the blood concentration of rocuronium was significantly increased at T4-T12,t1/2 was prolonged,Ke0 was decreased,and MRT was prolonged in group HH (P＜0.05).Compared with group NH,the blood concentration of rocuronium was significantly increased at T5-T11,t1/2 was prolonged,Ke0 was decreased,and MRT was prolonged in group HH (P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Hypothermia can reduce the pharmacokinetics of rocuronium in the pigs with hemorrhagic shock.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of nifedipine on stress responses to tracheal intubation. Thirty adult patients, ASA Ⅰ to Ⅱ, scheduled for elective surgery, were randomly assigned to receiving intravenous infusion of normal saline 30ml (group Ⅰ). fentanyl 5?g/kg (group Ⅱ) or nifedipine 40 ?g/kg(group Ⅲ), respectively. After intravenous thiopental, valium and atracurium. the tracheal intubation was performed. SP, DP, HR and RPP were determined before administration, immediately before and after intubation. 1, 3 and 5 min following intubation separately, and the venous blood samples were taken at correspondingly later 5 times to measure plasma concentrations of endotheline(EF), atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP), TXB_2 and 6-keto-PGF_1 ? by radioimmunoassay individually. Following intubation. MAP went up in group Ⅰ and transiently in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ, HR in creased by 36.6% and 33.3% in group Ⅰ and Ⅲ and remained stable in group Ⅱ, RPP rose in group Ⅰ and rept statistically unchanged in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ, ET level stayed constant in all three groups, levels of ANP and TXB_2 ascended in group Ⅰ, transiently in group Ⅱ and did not vary in group Ⅲ, 6-keto-PGF_1? level were raised in group Ⅱ, transiently in group Ⅲ and did not change in group Ⅰ, and TXB_2/6-keto-PGF_1? ratio(T/K) shoot up in group Ⅰ and reduced in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ. As compared with those in group Ⅰ, before intubation, ANP level increased in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ. 6-keto-PGF_1? level decreased and T/K rose in group Ⅲ; after intubation, levels of ANP and 6-keto-PGF_1 ? went up in group F, transiently in group Ⅲ, and TXB_2 and T/K values went down in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ. It is suggested that prophylactic intravenous nifedipine may effectively depress the cardiovascular and hormone responses to tracheal intubation, but can not take complete place of fentanyl for this procedure.

Objective To evaluate the effect of hemorrhagic shock factor on the pharmacokinetics of rocuronium in pigs.Methods Sixteen pathogen-free Bama miniature pigs of both sexes,aged 3-5 months,weighing 22-25 kg,were divided into 2 groups (n=8 each) using a random number table:control group (group C) and hemorrhagic shock group (group HS).In group C,rocuronium 3.78 mg/kg was injected via the auricular vein.In group HS,the animals were subjected to volume-controlled hemorrhage,about 40％ of blood volume was withdrawn from the left femoral artery over 15 min (30 ml/kg),and rocuronium 3.78 mg/kg was injected via the auricular vein after the model was successfully established.At 0,2,4,7,10,15,20,30,60,120,180,240,300,360 and 420 min after rocuronium injection,blood samples were collected from the internal jugular vein for determination of the plasma concentration of rocuronium by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.The pharmacokinetic parameters of rocuronium were calculated.Results Compared with group C,the plasma concentration of rocuronium was significantly increased at 20 and 60-420 min after rocuronium injection,the elimination half-life and mean residence time were prolonged,and the plasma effect-site equilibration rate constant was decreased in group HS (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the maximal concentration and area under the concentration-time curve between the two groups (P＞ 0.05).Conclusion The elimination of rocuronium is slower in a pig model of hemorrhagic shock.

Objective To evaluate the effect of sevoflurane on liver injury in a pig model of hemorrhagic shock.Methods Twenty-four Bama miniature pigs of both sexes,weighing 20-25 kg,aged 3-5 months,were equally randomized into 3 groups using a random number table:sham operation group (group S);hemorrhagic shock group (group HS);sevoflurane group (group Sev).Hemorrhagic shock was induced by withdrawing 40％ of blood volume from the right femoral artery within 15 min (30 ml/kg) in HS and Sev groups.The animals inhaled 2％ sevoflurane for 30 min after establishment of the model in group Sev.Before hemorrhagic shock (T0),and at 30,60,90,120,180 and 240 min after hemorrhagic shock (T1-6),blood samples were collected from the femoral artery for determination of plasma alaninc aminotransferase (ALT) and betaine-homocysteine S-methyltransferase (BHMT) concentrations (by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay).After blood sampling at T6,the animals were sacrificed,and the right lobes of livers were removed for examination of the pathological changes with light microscope.Results Compared with group S,the plasma ALT concentrations were significantly increased at T4-6,the plasma BHMT concentrations were significantly increased at T3-6 (P＜0.05),and significant liver pathological changes were observed in HS and Sev groups.Compared with group HS,the plasma ALT concentrations were significantly decreased at T4-6,the plasma BHMT concentrations were significantly decreased at T3-6 (P＜0.05),and the liver pathological changes were significantly attenuated in group Sev.Conclusion Sevoflurane can mitigate liver injury in a pig model of hemorrhagic shock.

Objective:To assess the clinical value of Gore C-TAG stent-graft segmented release mode combined with 'periscope’ technique in dealing with distal reentry tear of aortic dissection after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).Methods:The clinical data of 5 patients of distal false lumen enlargement after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for Stanford type B aortic dissection (TBAD) from 2019 to 2020 was retrospectively analyzed.Results:All five patients were male. Combining Gore C-TAG stent-graft segmented release mode with 'periscope’ technique was used. All five patients successfully underwent secondary endovascular repair, no intraoperative thoracotomy or major postoperative complications during hospitalization occurred . Compared to aortic CTA imaging in pre- and post-secondary endovascular repair, the curative efficacy of this method in the treatment of distal reentry tear of aortic dissection was evaluated. It showed that distal reentry tears were covered completely without reperfusion of aortic false lumen, as well as branch stents with well-perfusion based on aortic CTA imaging during the first year following-up.Conclusions:Gore C-TAG stent-graft segmented release mode combined with 'periscope’ technique in dealing with distal reentry tear of aortic dissection is technically applicable and highly successful with satisfactory short-term results.

Objective To investigate the effect of propofol on the brain injury in children undergoing open heart surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Thirty children aged 4-10 yr undergoing repair of ventricular septal defect or atrial septal defect under CPB were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 15 each):control group (group C) and propofol group (group P). Anesthesia was induced with iv injection of sufentanil 1 μg/kg, propofol 2.5 mg/kg (midazolam 0.2 mg/kg in group C) and pipecuronium 0.1 mg/kg in group P. Anesthesia was maintained with iv infusion of 1％ propofol 6 mg·kg-1 ·h-1 (0.05％ midazolam 0.2 mg·kg-1 ·h-1 in group C) until the end of operation. Isoflurane ( 1％-2％ ) were inhaled during the operation in all patients. Sufentanil 1 μg/kg and pipecuronium 0. 1 mg/kg were injected intravenously after the start of CPB. A catheter was inserted into right internal jugular vein and advanced cephalad until jugular bulb for blood sampling before CPB, at 30 min of CPB, at the end of CPB, at 30 min after termination of CPB, at the end of operation, and at 24 h after termination of CPB to detect the plasma concentrations of 8-iso-PGF2 and S-100β by ELISA. Arterial and jugular bulb venous blood samples were collected for determination of SjvO2 before CPB, when naso-pharyngeal temperature was reduced to 30 ℃, when naso-pharyngeal temperature returned to 36 ℃ and at the end of CPB. Cerebral arterial venous oxygen content differences ( Da-jvO2 ) and cerebral oxygen extraction rate of oxygen ( CEO2 ) were calculated. Results Plasma concentrations of 8-iso-PGF2α and S-100β were significantly lower, SjvO2 was significantly higher, Da-jvO2 and CEO2 were significantly lower in group P than in group C (P ＜ 0.05＝. ConclusionPropofol can reduce the brain injury in children undergoing open heart surgery during CPB and the mechanism is related to decrease in cerebral oxygen metabolic rate and lipid peroxidation.
