Objective To evaluate the role of intercellular gap junction in lung injury induced by hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation in rabbits. Methods Twenty-four healthy rabbits of both sexes weighing 1.5-2.2 kg were used in this study. The animals were anesthetized with iv 3% pentobarbital 30 mg/kg,tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated. Femoral artery was cannulated for MAP monitoring, blood-letting.Right external jugular vein was cannulated for fluid infusion. Hemorrhagic shock was induced according to the method described by Wiggers. MAP was maintained at 35-40 mm Hg for 60 min. The animals were then randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 12 each):traditional treatment group (group A) and octanol group (group B). Both groups received rapid iv infusion of lactated Ringer's solution (LR solution) 1.5 ml·kg-1 ·min-1 for 30 min (T3 ).In group B 99.5% octanol (a specific gap junction inhibitor) 5 mmol/kg was injected intraperitoneally (IP) in addition to iv LR solution infusion. Thirty minutes later the animals were resuscitated with infusion of the blood withdrawn and LR solution (the volume was equal to the volume of blood loss). Then LR solution was infused iv at 2.5 ml· kg-1 · h-1 for 150 min ( T4 ). Left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) and HR were recorded before blood letting (T1), immediately after successful establishment of the model (T2), and at T3 and T4. The mortality during resuscitation was calculated. The animals were killed at T4. Blood samples were taken from femoral artery for determination of the serum protein concentration. The lungs were removed. The left lower lobe was lavnged. The protein concentration in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was measured. Lung permeability index (LPI) was calculated (LPI = protein concentration in BALF protein concentration in serum). Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase activities and W/D lung weight ratio were determined and microscopic examination was performed. Results HR was significantly lower at T3 and T4 and LVSP higher at T4 in group B than in group A. The pulmonary permeability index, W/D lung weight ratio and mortality were significantly lower and the activities of Ns+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+ -ATPase were significantly higher in group B than in group A. The lung tissue danage was significantly ameliorated in group B. Conclusion Intercellular gap junction is involved in the development of lung injury induced by hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation in rabbits.

To study the anti-inflammatory activity of glycyrrhizin acid, ligustrazine and puerarin. In the study, the liquichip-based high-throughput synchronous detection technique for 23 inflammatory factors, uniform design, comprehensive weight method were adopted to study the effect of different combined administration of glycyrrhizin acid, ligustrazine and puerarin in inhibiting the expression of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264. 7 cells and multiple inflammatory cytokines. In the study, the uniform design table U₉ (9³) was adopted to design doses of glycyrrhizin acid, ligustrazine and puerarin. The liquichip technique was used to detect the effect of different combined administration of glycyrrhizin acid, ligustrazine and puerarin on the 23 cytokines expressed in LPS-induced mouse macrophage RAW264. 7 inflammation model. The traditional Chinese medicine component optimization software and the improved least angle regression algorithm were used to analyze the dose-effect relationship among the three components and the cytokine inhibition rate and produce the regression equation. The comprehensive weight method was applied to get the optimal dose ratio of glycyrrhizic acid, ligustrazine and puerarin with highest efficacy of 25:2:13 and verify the optimal dose ratio. The verification results were consistent with the prediction trend, indicating the accuracy of the mathematical model for predicting the experiment. The experimental results showed the multi-target and multi-level efficacies of glycyrrhizic acid, ligustrazine and puerarin and the high anti-inflammatory activity of their combined administration, which provides powerful basis for subsequent drug development.

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine(Dex) on rabbit sinus node and atrioventricular node.Methods A total of 24 healthy male rabbits weighing 1.5-2.8 kg,were divided into 3 groups randomly according to random number table (n =8).Group C (control),critical dosage of Dex causing sinus bradycardia D1 (loading dose of Dex was 10 μg/kg, continual pumping dose was 5 μg · kg-1 · h-1 ),six times of critical dosage of Dex causing sinus bradycardia D2 (loading dose of Dex was 60 μg/kg,continual pumping dose was 30 μg·kg-1 ·h-1 ). Rabbits were anesthetized,the right femoral artery was separated and catheterized followed by real-time monitoring of arterial blood pressure.Right external jugular vein was searched and separated,bi-polar stimulating electrode were inserted to the junction of superior vena cava and right atrium,the index of sinus node and atrioventricular node were observed by means of programmed stimulation.Si-nus node recovery time (SNRT),corrected sinus node recovery time (CSNRT),total recovery time (TRT),and atrioventricular node 2∶1 point were recorded before Dex infusion (T0 ),1 5-20 min after infusion of Dex (T1 )and 50-60 min after perfusion of Dex (T2 ).Results SNRT,CSNRT,TRT and 2∶1 point had no statistical significance.Compared with T0 ,SNRT,CSNRT and CSNRT were signifi-cantly prolonged at T1 and T2 .2∶1 point in group D1 and D2 was shortened obviously at T1 than that at T2 (P <0.05).SNRT,CSNRT and TRT of group D1 at T2 were significantly prolonged,2∶1 piont was shortened compared with T1 (P <0.05).SNRT,CSNRT and TRT of group D1 and D2 were pro-longed both at T1 and T2 than those of group C.2∶1 point was shortened in group D1 and D2 at T1 than that in group C (P <0.05).Compared with group D1,SNRT,CSNRT and TRT of group D2 at T1 and T2 were prolonged,2∶1 point was shortened obviously (P <0.05).Conclusion Load capacity of 10 μg/kg Dex apparently inhibits the function of rabbit sinus node and atrioventricular node,which is partially recovered within a short time (≤ 1 h).The inhibiting effect is more continously and re-markably in load capacity of 60 μg/kg Dex.
