Objectiv e Renal ischemia-reperfusion ( I/R) may cause myocardial injury and dexmedetomidine ( DEX) is a new alpha-2 adrenergic agonist with the effects of antisympathia , seda-tion, and analgesia.This study was to investigate the effect of DEX on the myocardial tissue of rats at different time points after renal I/R. Methods Forty male Wistar rats were randomized into 5 groups of equal number,sham operation, 60 min renal ischemia and 3 h reperfusion (I/R1), 120 min ischemia and 3 h reperfusion (I/R2 ), 60 min ischemia and DEX+3 h reperfusion (D1), 120 min ischemia and DEX+3 h reperfusion ( D2) .Renal I/R was induced by removal of the right kidney and ligation of the left re-nal artery and vein followed by 3 hours of reperfusion.Meanwhile, intraperitoneal injection of DEX at 50μg/kg was given to the ani-mals in groups D1 and D2 at 60 at 120 min respectively after ischemia.After 3 hours of reperfusion, blood samples were collected for measurement of the concentrations of serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and renal and myocardial tissues harvested for observation of pathological changes under the light microscope and determination of the expressions of TNF-αand IL-10 by ELISA.Results Significant increases were observed in the concentrations of serum Cr and BUN , the expressions of TNF-αand IL-10 in the renal tissues and those in the myocardial tissues in groups I /R1([84.67 ±9.62] μmol/L, [8.55 ±1.08] mmol /L), I/R2 ([167.11 ±18.81] μmol/L, [13.42 ±1.25] mmol/L), D1 ([69.67 ±9.52] μmol/L, [7.56 ±0.70] mmol/L), and D2 ([114.29 ±12.50] μmol/L, [10.27 ±0.78] mmol/L), as compared with the sham operation group ([53.20 ±9.21] μmol/L, [3.75 ±0.78] mmol/L), (all P <0.05).Significant decreases was observed in the sham operation group as compared with other groups in the expressions of TNF-αand IL-10 (P<0.05).Significant decreases was observed in the D1 and D2 groups compared with other groups in the expressions of TNF-α, but increasing in IL-10.②Injury was reduced in the D1 and D2 groups compared with other groups.③The horizontal stripes of myocardial tissue disappeared in I/R1 and I/R2 decreases of inflammatory cells was observed in D1 and D2 groups compared with others. Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can attenuate myocar-dial injury induced by renal ischemia-reperfusion in rats and its inhibitory effect on inflammatory factors may be involved in the mechanism.

Objective Renal ischemia-reperfusion may cause myocardial injury and dexmedetomidine ( DEX)is a new alpha-2 adrenergic agonist which has the effects of antisympathia , sedation and analgesia.The article was to observe the effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine on myocardial injury induced by renal ischemia -reperfusion(I/R) in Rats. Methods 40 male Wistar rats were randomized into 5 groups(n=8 each)using a random number table: sham operation group(isolation of bilateral renal pedicles without ligation), I/R group (3 hours′reperfusion 120 minutes after the right nephrectomy and the ligation of left renal artery ), DEX low dose group, DEX middle dose group and DEX high dose group (DEX 25, 50, 100 μg/kg were respectively injected intraperitone-ally in rats of the three groups plus 3 hours′reperfusion after 120 minutes′ischemia ) .Blood samples were collected at 3 hours′reper-fusion to determine serum creatinine(Cr) and blood urea nitrogen(BUN) concentrations.Kidney and myocardial specimens were ex-tracted for microscopic examination and IL-10,TNF-αcontent were detected by ELISA. Results In sham operation group, renal structure was normal.In I/R group, a great amount of erythrocyte infiltration and interstitial infiltrating inflammatory cells were found in glomerulus and a lot of exfoliative cells were found in renal tubules .In DEX low dose group , erythrocyte infiltration and interstitial infiltrating inflammatory cells were found in glomerulus and a few exfoliative cells were found in renal tubules .In DEX middle dose group, erythrocyte infiltration and interstitial infiltrating inflammatory cells were found in partial glomerulus and a few exfoliative cells were found in renal tubules .In DEX high dose group , erythrocyte infiltration and interstitial infiltrating inflammatory cells in partial glomerulus were found and rare exfoliative cells were found in renal tubules .In sham operation group , cardiomyocytes were arranged in perfect order and normal structure , and chromatins and cytoplasms were in uniform distribution .In I/R group, edema and spongiform were obvious in cardiomyocytes , and focal coagulative necrosis was observed along with a great amount of infiltrating inflammatory cells and rare flaky bleeding .In DEX low dose group , edema and spongiform were found in cardiomyocytes , and focal coagulative necrosis was observed along with a great amount of infiltrating inflammatory cells and rare flaky bleeding .In DEX middle dose group , edema was found in cardiomyocytes , and mini focal coagulative necrosis was observed along with a small amount of infiltrating inflammatory cells.In DEX high dose group , edema was found in cardiomyocytes along with a small amount of infiltrating inflammatory cells .Com-pared with sham operation group , Cr, BUN concentrations in serum and IL-10,TNF-αcontents in kidney tissue and myocardium signif-icantly increased in I/R group, low dose group, middle dose group and high dose group(P<0.05).Compared with I/R group, IL-10 contents kidney tissue and myocardium significantly increased in small dose group (P<0.05).Cr ([167.11 ±18.81, 135.46 ± 9.80, 114.29 ±12.50, 100.15 ±8.81]μmol/L), BUN ([13.42 ±1.25, 11.73 ±1.15, 10.27 ±0.78, 9.28 ±0.52] mmol/L) concentrations in serum and TNF-αcontents in kidney tissue ([578.45 ±30.59, 530.76 ±20.59, 482.23 ±27.12, 423.14 ± 21.16]ng/L) and myocardium ([565.00 ±37.66, 517.82 ±36.89, 469.99 ±32.43, 407.41 ±23.77] ng/L) significantly de-creased in a dose-dependent manner in low , middle and high groups (P<0.05).Microscopic examination showed that the pathological changes of both kidney tissue and myocardium were significantly attenuated in low , middle and high dose group . Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can allenuate myocardial tissue injury induced by renal ischemia -reperfusion in a dose-dependent manner in rats and its mechanism may be involved with the inhibition of inflammatory factors .

Objective To study the methods and results of endovascular treatment of posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysms. Methods Twenty-one patients with PICA aneurysms were treated with endovascular treatment. The locations of aneurysm on PICA were evaluated through the DSA. Eight patients received single coil embolization, 5 received liquid Glue embolization, 2 received coil embolization combined with liquid Glue, 2 received coil embolization assisted with stents, and 4 underwent ocelasion of the parent PICA. Outcome was evaluated with the Glasgow outcome scale (COS). Results There were complete (100%) occlusion in 5 patients, near complete (>90% ) occlusion in 2, and incomplete (85%) occlusion in 1 in single coil embolization. Seven patients with Glue embolization (n = 5 ) or combination with coils ( n = 2 ) exhibited complete ( 100% ) occlusion. There were near complete ( >90% ) occlusion in 2 cases with coil assisted with stents. Complete occlusion of the parent PICA was achieved in 3 patients, and near complete occlusion of PICA in one case. One patient suffered from new neurological deficits, and one patient treated with coils and stents died. None of the patients suffered from re-bleeding. These patients received follow-up during a mean period of (22±8) months. Overall long-term outcome was good ( GOS score 4 or 5 ) in 17 patients, poor ( COS score 2 or 3) in 3, and fatal ( GOS score 1 ) in one case. Conclusions According to the location of aneurysms on PICA, aneurysms can be effectively and safely treated with endovaecular embolization.

Objective To review the three-dimensional characteristics and configuration of cranial base arteries of patients with intracranial berry aneurysms. Methods All the 70 patients with intracranial berry aneurysms (83 cases)were admitted from January to December in 2007. Their images of spiral computer angiography (CT) were presented and analyzed retrospectively. The site, size and figures of aneurysms were recorded, especially the variations of cranial base arteries were analyzed. Results Cerebral anterior communicating artery (ACoA) was the frequent site where aneurysms located. Incidence of ACoA aneurysms was 43.37%(36/83), that of posterior communicating artery (PCoA) was 28.92%(24/83), that of internal carotid artery was 9.64% (8/83), that of middle cerebral artery was 6.02% (5/83), that of A1-A3 was 3.61% (3/83), that of basilar artery was 3.61% (3/83), that of posterior cerebral artery was 2.41% (2/83), that of posterior inferior cerebellar artery was 1.20% (1/83),that of anterior choroidal artery was 1.20% (1/83).The shape of many berry aneurysms was regular. Mutational rate of cranial base arteries among aneurysms were 56.63% (47/83) and ACoA ancurysms with A1 dysplasia rate was 72.22% (26/36). Conclusions The solid shape and vascular variation of intracranial berry aneuryams can be optimally identified by spiral computer angiography. The occurrence of berry aneurysms might be associated with variation of cranial base arteries.

BACKGROUND: Sinomenine is an alkaloid monomer extracted from a Chinese medicinal herb sinomenium acutum stem. It is used in the therapy of the rheumatoid arthritis and has clear and definite therapeutic effects, but the therapeutic mechanism is unclear.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of sinomenine at different doses in vitro on the activity of nuclear factor-κB(NF-κβ) and mRNA expressions of the tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-1β(IL-1β) andinterleukin-10 (IL-10) in the synovial cells of the rats with adjuvant arthritis(AA) to explore the probable mechanism of sinomenine in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(RA).DESIGN: A controlled repeated measuring study based on the cells.SETTING: Department of traditional chinese medicine and the institute of burn research of a military medical university.MATERIALS: This study was finished at the Laboratory of the Institute of Burn Research of Chinese PLA. The experimental animals were 25 healthy male Wistar rats of clean grade. The AA model rats were made and the synovial cells were collected and grouped as follows: normal control group, AA group,AA + sinomenine 30 mg/L group, AA + sinomenine 60 mg/L group, AA + sinomenine 120 mg/L group. The activity of the NF-κB was measured by the electrophoresis mobility shift assay(EMSA) . The mRNA expressions of the TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-10 were measured by reverse transcription-PCR assay.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The results of the changes of the activity of the NF-κB and the mRNA expressions of the TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-10 in the synovial cells of the rats with adjuvant arthritis after the treatment with sinomenine at different doses.RESULTS: Compared with the normal control group, the activity of the NF-κB and the mRNA expressions of the TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-10 in the synovial cells in the AA group all increased significantly and the outcomes were 17±6, 0.570±0.047, 0.730±0.093, 0. 683 ±0.081 (t= 2.71 -4.07, P < 0.05). After the administration of sinomenine, the activity of NF-κB showed a good correlation with mRNA expressions of the TNF-αandIL-13(r=0.810, P <0.001; r=0.562, P <0.05), but no statistical relevance with mRNA expression of IL-10 was established. Sinomenine showed a dose-dependent inhibition on the activity of the NF-κB and the mRNA expressions of the TNF-α and IL-1β in a certain range of concentrations(30-120 mg/L), but no dose-dependent inhibition on mRNA expression of the IL-10 was observed.CONCLUSION: Through the inhibition of the activity of the NF-κB,sinomenine decreased the mRNA expressions of the TNF-α and the IL-1β in the synovial membrane cells.
