Objective To investigate the effect of probiotics preconditioning on intestinal mucosal barrier function in a rat model of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) . Methods Twenty-four adult male SD rats weighing 350-450 g were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 8 each) : group Ⅰ sham operation ( group S); group Ⅱ CPB and group Ⅲ probiotics + CPB. CPB was established between left carotid artery and right jugular vein and maintained for 60 min. Croup Ⅲ received intragastric instillation of probiotics 2 ml once a day for 7 consecutive days before CPB. Blood samples were collected at 2 h after CPB was terminated for determination of plasma D-lactate, TNF-and IL-6 concentrations and diamine oxidase (DAO) activity. Venous blood was obtained from portal vein for determination of LPS concentration and cultured. Liver, pancreas, spleen, kidney and mesenteric lymphnode (MLN) specimens were obtained under sterile condition and cultured for bacterial growth. The mucous membrane of small intestine was examined with electron microscope. Results CPB significantly increased plasma DAO activity, and D-lactate, IPS, TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations and the rate of bacteria-positive culture of portal venous blood, liver, MLN, lung and kidney in group Ⅱ as compared with group S. Probiotics preconditioning significantly attenuated the above-mentioned CPB-induced changes. Microscopic examination showed that probiotics preconditioning significantly ameliorated CPB-induced damage to the epithelium of the small intestine. Conclusion Probiotics preconditioning can significantly attenuate CPB-induced inflammatory response and protect the intestinal mucosal barrier function.

Objective To investigate the effects of probiotics on the plasma diamine oxidase (DAO) activity and D-lactate, IL-6 and IL-10 levels in patients undergoing open heart surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) , trying to elucidate the mechanism of protective effect of probiotics against CPB- induced injury to intestinal mucosal barrier. Methods Forty ASA Ⅱ - Ⅲ patients of both sexes aged 30-64 yr weighing 40-80 kg undergoing open heart operation under CPB were randomized into 2 groups ( n = 20 each) : control group (group C) and probiotics group (group Y) . Group Y received Jinshuangqi (Bifid Triple Viable containing bifido-bacterium, lacto-bacillus, streptococcus thermophiles) 4 pills 3 times a day for 7 days before operation. Venous blood samples were taken from CVP line before operation (T1 ), at 10 min after aortic unclamping (T2 ) and at the end of CPB (T3 ) and at 2, 6, 18 h (T4,5,6) after operation for determination of plasma DAO activity and D-lactate, IL-6 and IL-10 levels.Results Plasma DAO activity, D-lactate, IL-6 and IL-10 levels were significantly increased after CPB was started at T2-6 as compared with the baseline values at T1 in both groups. Plasma DAO activity and D-lactate level were significantly lower at T2-5 , the plasma IL-6 level was significantly lower and plasma IL-10 level higher at T4,5 in group Y than in group C. Conclusion Probiotics can protect intestinal mucosal barrier in patients undergoing open heart surgery under CPB and attenuate inflammatory response.

Objective To investigate the effects of penehyclidine hydrochloride on blood-brain barrier in a rat model of cardiopulmonary bypass ( CPB) . Methods Sixty adult male SD rats, aged 4-6 months, weighing 320- 370 g, were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n = 12 each) : sham operation group (group S), CPB group, and low-, median- and high-dose penehyclidine hydrochloride groups (groups LP, MP and HP). The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 10% chloral hydrate 350 mg/kg, intubated and mechanically ventilated. The femoral and jugular arteries and jugular vein were cannulated. CPB was performed for 60 min. Penehyclidine hydrochloride 0.2, 0.6 and 2.0 mg/kg were added to the priming solution in groups LP, MP and HP respectively, while the equal volume of normal saline was added in group CPB. Evans blue was injected via femoral vein at 1 h before the animals were sacrificed. Six rats in each group were sacrificed, their brains immediately removed and the hippocampi isolated for determination of Evans blue content. The other rats were sacrificed and the hippocampi isolated to determine the water content and observe the ultrastructure of blood-brain barrier. Results Compared with group S, the Evans blue content and water content were significantly increased in the other groups ( P < 0.05) . Compared with groups CPB and LP, the Evans blue content and water content were significantly decreased in groups MP and HP ( P < 0.05) . The Evans blue content was significantly lower in group HP than in group MP ( P < 0.05). The CPB-induced changes were significantly attenuated in groups MP and HP compared with groups CPB and LP. Conclusion Penehyclidine hydrochloride can protect blood-brain barrier against the CPB-induced injury and the effect is related to the dose.
