Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 1997;0(11):-
Objective To investigate the changes in the expression of Egr-1, C-jun and IL-1? mRNA and protein in the lung injured by mechanical ventilation. Methods Forty male SD rats weighing 250-320 g were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 8 each): group A received no mechanical ventilation; group B-E received mechanical ventilaion for 30 (B), 60 (C), 90 (D) and 120 (E) minutes. The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 3% pentobarbital 35 mg?kg-1 , tracheostomized and mechnically ventilated (VT =42 ml?kg-1 , RR = 40 bpm, I: E = 1:2, FiO2 = 21 % ) . Arterial blood samples were taken for blood gas analysis. The animals were killed at the end of mechanical ventilation in group B-E and after tracheostomy in group A. The lungs were removed for microscopic examination using HE staining. The expression of Egr-1, C-jun and IL-1? mRNA and protein was detected by RT-PCR and immuno-histochemical technique respectively. Results There was no significant difference in PaO2 and SaO2 among the 5 groups while PaCO2 was significantly decreased in group B and C but increased in group E as compared with group A. The expression of Egr-1, C-jun and IL-1? mRNA and protein was significantly increased by mechanical ventilation in a duration - dependent manner. Histological studies demonstrated that the damage to the lung was correlated with the duration of mechanical ventilation in terms of perivascular inflammatouy cell infiltration, exudates and hemorrhage in the alveoli and thickening of alveolar walls. Conclusion The results of our study show that mechanical ventilation activates and upregulates the expression of the early response genes in a duration - dependent manner. The upregulation of the expression of these genes might be involved in the underlying mechanism of lung damage induced by mechanical ventilation.

Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 2015;35(7):784-786
Objective To determine the risk factors for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in the patients undergoing cardiac transplantation.Methods Forty patients with end-stage heart failure (both sexes) , aged 13-66 yr, weighing 45-84 kg, of ASA physical status Ⅳ or Ⅴ (NYHA Ⅲ or Ⅳ), undergoing heart transplantation, with normal kidney function before operation, were selected.According to whether or not AKI occurred within 7 days after operation, the patients were divided into either AKI group or non-AKI group.Factors including age, gender, body weight, complications (including hypertension and diabetes mellitus), preoperative blood glucose, hemoglobin, serum creatinine, cardiac output, ejection fraction, pulmonary arterial systolic pressure, intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time, transfusion of allogeneic red blood cells, and urine volume within 24 h after operation were recorded.The risk factors of which P values were less than 0.05 would enter the multivariate logistic regression analysis to stratify postoperative AKI-related risk factors for this type of patients.Results A total of 39 patients were enrolled in this study.Of the 39 patients, 14 patients suffered from AKI after operation, and the incidence was 36%.The results of logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative pulmonary hypertension and CPB time > 180 min were the independent risk factors for AKI after cardiac transplantation.Conclusion Preoperative pulmonary hypertension and CPB time>180 min are the independent risk factors for postoperative AKI in the patients undergoing cardiac transplantation.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum CC10 protein and lung injury induced by mechanical ventilation.Methods Forty healthy Wistar rats of both sexes weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 5 groups(n=8 each):group Ⅰ control;group Ⅱ mild lung injury[VT=7 ml/kg,duration of mechanical ventilation(t):2 h];group Ⅲ moderate lung injury(VT=7 ml/kg,t=4 h);group Ⅳ severe lung injury(VT=40 ml/kg,t=2 h);group Ⅴ extremely severe lung injury(VT=40 ml/kg,t=4 h).The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 10% chloral hyrdrate 3.5 ml/kg and tracheostomized.Group Ⅰ received no mechanical ventilation.The animals in group Ⅱ-Ⅴ were mechanically ventilated with air(FiO2=21%,RR=40 bpm,I:E=1:2).The animals were sacrificed at the end of mechanical ventilation.The lungs were immediately removed for microscopic examination and determination of W/D lung weight ratio.The left lung was lavaged.The CC10 protein level in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid(BALF)and serum were determined by Western blotting.The Clara cells in the bronchiolar epithelium were examined by immno-histochemistry.Results The level of CC10 protein in BALF was significantly lower in group Ⅳ and Ⅴ while the serum CC10 protein level was significantly higher in group Ⅱ-Ⅴ than in group Ⅰ.The serum CC10 protein level was positively correlated while the CC10 protein level in BALF was negatively correlated with the severity of lung injury and W/D ratio.Conclusion The serum CC10 protein is closely related to the severity of lung injury induced by mechanical ventilation.

Objective To investigate the effects of rosiglitazone (ROSI), a potent agonist of peroxisome proliferator- activated receptor ?( PPAR?) on acute lung injury induced by endotoxin. Methods Thirty-six male Wistar rats weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 6 per group): group I control; group II ROSI; group III GW; group IV LPS; group V ROSI + LPS and group VI GW + ROSI + LPS. The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 3 % pentobarbital 50 mg ? kg -1 . The jugular vein was cannulated for administration of fluid and drug. In group I , II and III normal saline (NS) 2 ml was given 30 min after IV 10% DMSO 2 ml? kg-1( I ), ROSI 0.3 mg?kg-1(dissolved in DMSO) or GW9662 (PPAR? antagonist) 0.3 mg?kg-1 ( III ) . In group IV , V and VI instead of NS LPS 6 mg? kg-1 was given 30 min after 10% DMSO ( IV ) or ROSI( V , VI). In group VI GW9662 0.3 mg?kg-1 was given IV 20 min before ROSI. The rats were sacrificed and the lungs were removed for microscopic examination and determination of wet/dry lung weight ( W/D) ratio and lung myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) and NO content. The lung was also assessed for expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and nitrotyrosine ( NT) using Western blot analysis or immuno-histochemistry.Results LPS induced marked lung injury and significant increase in W/D ratio, MPO activity, MDA and NO content in the lung. All of these changes were significantly attenuated by pretreatment with ROSI. Pretreatment also significantly suppressed LPS-induced expression of iNOS protein and formation of nitrotyrosine in the lung. The specific PPAR? antagonist GW9662 counteracted the effects of ROSI. Conclusion Pretreatment with has protective effect against endotoxin-induced ALL The underlying mechanism is via the activation of PPAR?.

Objective To investigate the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in mechanical ventilation-induced lung injury in rats.Methods Thirty healthy male Wistar rats,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =6 each):control group (group C),small tidal volume group (group S),small tidal volume and PKC inhibitor group (group S + P),large tidal volume group (group L),and large tidal volume and PKC inhibitor group (group L + P).VT =42 ml/kg,RR =40 bpm,I∶E =1∶ 2,PEEP =0,FiO2 =21% in groups L and L + P,while VT=7 ml/kg,RR=40 bpm,I∶E=1∶2,PEEP=0,FiO2 =21% in groups S and S+P.The rats were only tracheostonized in group C,while the rats were mechanically ventilated for 4 h in the other four groups.PKC inhibitor bisindolylmaleinide Ⅰ 0.12 mg/kg was injected intramuscularly 1 h before anesthesia in groups S + P and L + P.The animals were sacrificed immediacy after tracheotomy in group C,and at 4 h of ventilation in the other four groups and lungs were removed for calculation of wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio) and for microscopic examination.The expression of occludin was determined in the lung tissues by Western blot.Results Compared with group C,W/D ratio was significantly increased and the expression of occludin was down-regulated in the other four groups (P < 0.05).Compared with group S,W/D ratio was significantly increased and the expression of occludin was down-regulated in group L,and W/D ratio was decreased and the expression of occludin was up-regulated in group S + P (P < 0.01).W/D ratio was significantly lower and the expression of occludin was higher in group L + P than in group L (P < 0.01).The pathological changes were attenuated in groups S + P and L + P as compared with groups S and L.Conclusion PKC is involved in mechanical ventilation-induced lung injury in rats.
