ObjectiveTo investigate the role of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1 ) in process of sevoflurane preconditioning attenuating hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) injury in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.Methods Primary cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were randomly divided into four groups ( n ＝ 25 each):control group (group C),group H/R,sevoflurane preconditioning group(group S + H/R),and HO-1 inhibitor zinc protoporphyria (ZnPP) and sevoflurane preconditioning group(group ZnPP + S + H/R).In group H/R,the cardiomyocytes were exposed to 2 hours of hypoxia,followed by 1 hour of reoxygenation.Group S+ H/R received 2.5％ sevoflurane preconditioning for 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes of wash-out before H/R.ZnPP was added to the culture medium with final concentrations of 3 μMol/L 1 hour before sevoflurane preconditioning and H/R in group ZnPP +S + H/R.HO- 1 expression,apoptosis rate,concentration of free calcium ( [ Ca2 + ] i),mitochondrial membrane permeability transition pore (PTP),cytoohrome C ( Cyto C) expression and activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK) in culture supernatant were detected after reoxygenation.ResultsCompared with group C,the expression of HO-1 and cytoplasmic Cyto C of cardiomyocytes were up-regulated,mitochondrial Cyto C was down-regulated,while the [Ca2+ ]i,opening degree of PIP,apoptosis rate and activities of LDH and CK in culture supernatant were increased in group H/R.Compared with group H/R,the expression of HO-1 and mitochondrial Cyto C of cardiomyocytes were up-regulated,cytoplasmic Cyto C was down-regulated,while the [Ca2+ ] i,opening degree of PTP,apoptosis rate and activities of LDH and CK in culture supernatant were decreased in group S + H/R.Compared with group S + H/R,the expression of HO-1 and mitochondrial Cyto C of cardiomyocytes were down-regulated,cytoplasmic Cyto C was up-regulated,while the [Ca2+ ]i,opening degree of PTP,apoptosis rate and activities of LDH and CK in culture supematant were increased in group ZnPP + S + H/R.ConclusionThe up-regulation of HO-1 is involved in the process of sevoflurane preconditioning attenuating hypoxia-reoxygenation injury in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of immediate intravesical instillation combined with short-term maintained intravesical instillat.ion chemotherapy of pirarubicin (THP) after operation for preventing postoperative recurrence of superficial bladder tumor.Methods One hundred and seven patients with superficial bladder tumor were divided by random digits table method into two groups:group A (50 cases ) was treated with immediate intravesical instillation combined with short-term maintained intravesical instillation chemotherapy after operation,and group B (57 cases) was treated with conventional intravesical instillation chemotherapy.Patients in group A underwent intravesical instillation of THP within 24 hours,maintained intravesical instillation once a week for 8 weeks.Patients in group B underwent intravesical instillation of THP in one or two weeks after operation,once a week for 8 weeks.And then once a month for 10 months.All patients were followed up with regular cystoscopy examination.Results Patients were followed up for 13-84 months,the incidence of partial vesical toxic reaction in group A was 26.00 ％ (13/50),general symptom rate was 4.00％ ( 2/50 ),the rate of recurrency was 16.00％ ( 8/50 ).The incidence of partial vesical toxic reaction in group B was 22.81％( 13/57 ),general symptom rate was 1.75％( 1/57 ),the rate of recurrency was 19.30％ (11/57).There was no significant differences between two groups (P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusions Immediate intravesical instillation of THP after operation is safe and effective,but it is not suitable for patients with obvious bladder perforation and large wound surface of bladder mucosa after transurethral rescection.Immediate intravesical instillation combined with short-term maintained intravesical instillation chemotherapy of THP after operation for preventing postoperative recurrence of superficial bladder tumor is effective and well tolerated.

Objective To observe the changes of intracerebral amino acid transmitters in the periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) of newborn rats with microdialysis and so as to explore the role of excitotoxicity in PVL.Methods Replicated the model for PVL at the age of postnatal day 5 (P5) by intracerebral injection of 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA).Before injection of 3-NPA,and 15 min,30 min,45 min,60 min,75 min,90 min after injection of 3-NPA,collected the sample of extracellular fluid (ECF) at the corpus callosum above the left ventricle through microdialysis,respectively.After microdialysis,the experimental rats were allowed to survive to P6-P14,and then they were killed and the brains were prepared for HE stain.The amino accids of dialysate were quantified through high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC),and then the excitotoxic index (EI) was calculated.Results Fifteen min to 45 min after injection of 3-NPA,the concentrations of glumate (Glu) and aspartic acid (Asp) of ECF elevated significantly,and then returned to the normal levels.Fifteen min to 75 min and 15 min to 30 min after injection of 3-NPA,the concentrations of glycine (Gly) and GABA significantly elevated,respectively,and returned to normal levels at 90 min and 45 min after injection of 3-NPA,respectively.But the EI,which indicated the balance of excitatory amino acids(EAAs) and inhibitory amno aciols(IAAs),significantly elevated 15 min to 75 min after injection of 3-NPA,then retured to normal level after 90 min.Sub-cortical and periventricular white matter rarefaction and significant lateral ventricle enlargement were observed in HE staining.Conclusions Changes of intracerebral amino acid transmitters in the PVL of newborn rats show regularity:EAAs,IAAs of ECF and EI elavate in the early stage,and then return to the normal level quickly.It indicates that excitotoxicity play a great role in PVL,especially at the early stage.Therefore,the preventions of PVL must be executed at the early stage.
