Objective To estimate the relationship between the parameters used to estimate the depth of anesthesiaMethods Fifty-two ASA I - II patients undergoing choleeystectomy or exploration of eommon bile duet without jaundice were emdled in the study. Premedieation consisted of midazolam 5 mg and atropine 0.5 mg im.30 min before operation. Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl 4 ug.kg-1 , droperidol 0.08 mg.kg-1 , propofol 2 mg. kg-1 and vecuronium 0.1 mg.kg-1 , and maintained with enflurane and continuous infusion of propofol and intermittent intravenous boluses of vecuronium. The patients were intubated and mechanically ventilated. B1S,HRV and BP were continuously monitored and recorded before induction (T1 ) , 1 min(T2 ) , 3 min(T3 ) after intubation, 1 min before skin incision (T4) , 3 min after skin incision (T5), 1 h after induction (T6), 1 min before extubation (T7) and when the patient was conscious (T8). Blood samples were taken at the same intervals for detenninaton of blood propofol and cortisol level (n = 18) by using radioimmunoasscey and HPL, BIS was maintained at 30 ~ 60 during anesthesia by adjustment of propofol infusion rate. Results There was negative correlation between plasma propofol concentration and BIS/MAP; there was positive correlation between HR and MAP. Plasma cortisol level was positively correlated with BIS, MAP and HR and negatively correlated with plasma propofol concentration. Conclusion The LF and HF can reflect the changes in cardiac sympathetic-vagal tension but cannot reflect the depth of anesthesia. Stress response can be controlled by plasma propofol concentration and estimated by BIS,MAP and HR monitoring.

Objective To investigate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on the expression of caveolin2 and matrix-metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in brain tissues and the blood brain barrier (BBB) after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) in rats. Methods Three hundred and seventy male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into sham,ischemia-reperfusion,HBO,and I/R + HBO groups. After creating cerebral I/R models,oxygen at 0.25 MPa was administered 5 times,and 2% Evans blue (EB) was injected into the tail veins 1 h before the rats were sacrificed.The permeability of the BBB,the expression of caveolin-2 and MMP-9,and EB content were determined by Western blotting,immunohistochemistry,and spectrophotometery,respectively. Results In the I/R group,the EB content increased steadily to a peak at 4 hours.EB content in the IR + HBO group was significantly lower than in the I/R group.Caveolin-2 and MMP-9 were significantly augmented by I/R injury at the 24th,48th and 72nd hours.Compared to the I/R group,HBO intervention decreased their expression levels. Conclusion HBO intervention can reverse the increase of caveolin-2 and MMP-9 caused by I/R injury,which suggests a mechanism for protective effects of HBO on the permeability of the BBB in I/R injury.

AIM: To study effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and cyclosporin A (CsA) on the contents of active oxygens and nitric oxide (NO) in spleens of skin transplanted mice. METHODS: The donor mice BALB/C and receptor mice Cs7BL/6 were tested for skin transplantation. The HBO group mice were,treated with 99.2 % oxygen under 0.25 MPa for 1.5 hours, while CsA group mice were treated with CsA 0.5 rmg· kg- t· d- 1 by abdomen injection. After 14 days, the spleen were extracted the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and NO and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH - PX), catalase (CAT) and NO synthases (NOS) were determined. RESULTS: (1) Compared with the control group, the transplantation group, HBO group and CsA group have markedly increased the content of MDA and the activities of GSH - PX and CAT; Compared with the transplantation group, the CsA group have markedly increased activity of SOD and reduced activities of GSH - PX and CAT; the HBO group have markedly reduced the activity of GSH - PX and increased the activities of CAT and SOD (P < 0.01 ). (2) Compared with the control group, the transplantation group have markedly increased the content of NO and the activity of NOS; Compared with the transplantation group, the HBO group have markedly increased the activity of NOS and reduced the content of NO ( P < 0.01 ); The content of NO and the activity of NOS in CsA group was not changed significantly. CONCLUSION: In the lymphocytes of the transplantation group, the peroxidation is intensified, and the content of NO and the activity of NOS increased. HBO and CsA may activate the systems of oxidation/antioxidation and NO/NOS in spleen, which may be related to their mechanism of inhibition rejection.
