Objective To compare the effects of propofol and ketamine on long-term memory and the expression of brain N-methylgroup-D-aspartate receptor 2B(NMDAR2B) and Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor 1(GABAR1) in aged rats, and preliminary investigate the relation between the long-term memory and expression of neurotransmitter receptors in different cerebral areas. Methods The aged male rats were randomly divided into control group,propofol group and ketamine group. Morris water maze training was performed in all the rats of three groups for 5 days. On the 6th day, intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg?mL-1 propofol was administrated in propofol group,80 mg?mL-1 ketamine was intraperitoneally injected in ketamine group,and blank control group was given the same dose of saline.Seven days after the administration,space exploration experiment and navigation experiment test were performed to test the impact on the learning and memory ability of rats. After that, the expression levels of GABAR1 and NMDAR2B in temporal lobe and hippocampal CA1 region of the rat brain were detected by immunofluorescence and FISH technique. Results The results of Morris water maze showed there was no significant difference between propofol group (9.49±1.24) s and blank control group (8.82±2.22) s.There was statistically significant difference between ketamine group (12.04±2.67) s and blank control group (P<0.05),with longer latency time and less number of times of passing through target as compared with blank control group.By using immunohistochemistry and FISH technique,the expression of GABAR1 in temporal lobe and hippocampal CA1 region of the rat brain was not significantly different between propofol group and blank control group,but it was significantly up-regulated in ketamine group as compared with blank control group ( P<0.05) . The expression of NMDAR2B in temporal lobe and hippocampal CA1 region of the rat brain was not significantly different between propofol group and blank control group,but it was significantly down-regulated in ketamine group as compared with blank control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Propofol anesthesia alone had no effect on long-term learning and memory,but ketamine anesthesia can result in long-term learning and memory impairment. The mechanism may be related with down-regulation of the expression of NMDAR2B receptor and up-regulation of GABAR1 not only in CA1 region hippocampus,but also in temporal lobe.

Objective To observe the change of learning and memory quality and the expression change of GABAR1 and NMDAR2B in aged SD rat cerebral temporal lobe by propofol injection and discuss the influence that may be caused by propofol.Methods Aged male sd rats were randomly divided into three groups,each group of 20.Propofol intraperitoneal injection was implemented to groups P1 and P7 according 50 mg/kg and maintained anesthesia for 3 hours.The same dose of emulsion was given to control group. Morris water maze test was done in the first days and the seventh days after intraperitoneal injection.Then the left temporal lobe was gathered and the mRNA transcription and protein expression of GABAR1 and NMDAR2B were detected by FISH and Immunofluorescence technique.Results Compared with control group,the latent time of group P1 was significantly prolonged and the numbers of passing through the target frequency were decreased significantly (P <0.05).Group P7 had no significant differences.The mRNA transcription and protein expression of GABAR1 in group P1 were increased significantly and the mRNA transcription and protein expression of NMDAR2B in group P1 were decreased significantly (P <0.05 ). Group P7 had no significant differences.Conclusion The short-term memory of brain declined after propofol was used.This may be related to the function of temporal lobe.The mechanism may be related to the up regulation of GABAR1 and the down regulation of NMDAR2B simultaneously.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the high concentration of sevoflurane wash-in in induction of anesthesia on the cardiac function in young infants.Methods ASA Ⅰ young infants,aged 28-60 days,undergoing resection of hemangioma on body surface under general anesthesia,were studied.According to the principle of randomized block design,8 blocks were designed based on the body weight (3.0-3.4 kg,3.5-3.9 g,4.0-4.4 kg,4.5-4.9 kg,5.0-5.4 kg,5.5-5.9 kg,6.0-6.4 kg,6.5-6.9 kg),with 3 infants in each block.The infants were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =8 each):anesthesia induction with 6%,7% and 8% sevoflurane groups (groups S1-3).In groups S1-3,the infants inhaled 6 %,7 % and 8 % sevoflurane respectively for induction of anesthesia.Transthoracic echocardiographic examinations were performed before sevoflurane inhalation (baseline,T1) and at 4 min of sevoflurane inhalation (T2) to record the stroke volume (SV),left ventricle end-diastolic volume (LVEDV),ejection fraction (EF),stroke volume index (SI),heart rate (HR),cardiac output (CO),cardiac index (CI),peak early diastolic velocity of mitral annulus (Ea),peak late diastolic velocity of mitral annulus (Aa),peak systolic velocity of mitral annulus (Sa),and Tei index.The mitral annulus poteroseptal Ea/Aa (Ea/Aa) was calculated.Results Compared with the baseline value,SV,EF,SI,Ea/Aa and Tei index were significandy increased,HR,Sa,Ea and Aa were significantly decreased (P < 0.05),and no significant change was found in LVEDV,CO and CI at 4 min of sevoflurane inhalation in groups S1-3 (P > 0.05).Tei index was significantly higher in groups S2.3 than in group S1 (P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in the parameters of cardiac function between group S2 and group S3 (P > 0.05).Conclusion 6 %,7 % and 8 % sevoflurane wash-in in induction of anesthesia exert no effect on the cardiac function in young infants,and the 3 concentrations can be recommended for clinical use.

Objective To evaluate the effects of sevoflurane anesthesia on the left ventricular function in young infants.Methods Sixteen ASA physical status Ⅰ pediatric patients,aged 28-75 days,weighing 4.0-6.1 kg,undergoing elective resection of hemangioma on the body surface under general anesthesia with sevoflurane were studied.After the pediatric patients inhaled 6 % sevoflurane for 4 min,tracheal intubation was performed,and the pediatric patients were mechanically ventilated.Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane with the endtidal concentration of 4.48%-5.12%.Transthoracic echocardiographic examinations were performed before induction of anesthesia (baseline,T0),immediately before intubation (T1),at 10 and 30 min after intubation (T2,3),and at 20 min and 1 h after extubation (T4,5) to calculate Tei index.Results Compared with the baseline value at T0,Tei index was significantly increased at T1-4 (P < 0.05 or 0.01),and no significant change was found in Tei index at T5 (P > 0.05).The blood pressure and heart rate were stable and no adverse cardiovascular events were found during surgery.Conclusion Although sevoflurane anesthesia does not induce cardiovascular events,it decreases the left ventricular function to some extent in young infants.

Objective To investigate the expression level and clinical significance of long non-coding RNA(LncRNA) growth arrest specific gene-antisense 1(GAS8-AS1) in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma(PTMC) patients. Methods We investigated the expression profile of GAS8-AS1 in tissue samples of patients with PTMC as well as nodular goiter(NG) by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR). Results GAS8-AS1 in cancer tissue was down-regulated in PTMC patients compared with adjacent thyroid tissue and NG samples(P<0.05). Lower level of GAS8-AS1 was also correlated with central cervical lymph node metastasis(CLNM, P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve for GAS8-AS1 was up to 0.717 3 in CLNM prediction(P<0.05). Conclusion GAS8-AS1 may act as a potential biomarker for PTC diagnosis and CLNM prediction.
