Objective To investigate the effect of sufentanil preconditioning on the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in myocardium during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Thirty-six male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =12 each):sham operation group (group S),I/R group and sufentanil preconditioning group (group SPC).Myocardial ischemia was induced by occlusion of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery for 30 min followed by 2 h of reperfusion.In group SPC,the rats were subjected to 3 consecutive cycles of 5 min sufentanil infusion at 0.2 μg· kg-1 ·min-1 via the femoral vein at 5 min interval before ischemia.In groups S and I/R,the rats were subjected to the equal volume of normal saline instead.HR and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were recorded at 30 min before ischemia (T0),immediately before ischemia (T1),at 30 min of ischemia (T2),and at 30 and 120 min of reperfusion (T3-4).At the end of reperfusion,blood samples were obtained to determine the serum concentration of TNF-α.The rats were then sacrificed and hearts were removed for measurement of myocardial infarct size and expression of TLR4 and NF-κB p65 in myocardium (using Western blot).Results There was no significant difference in HR among the three groups (P > 0.05).Compared with group S,MAP was significantly decreased at T2-4,the serum concentration of TNF-α was increased,and the expression of TLR4 and NF-kB p65 protein in myocardium was upregulated in groups I/R and SPC (P < 0.01).Compared with group I/R,no significant difference was found in MAP at all time points (P > 0.05),and myocardial infarct size was significantly decreased,serum concentrations of TNF-α were decreased,and the expression of TLR4 and NF-κB p65 protein in myocardium was down-regulated in group SPC (P < 0.01).Conclusion The mechanism by which sufentanil preconditioning alleviates myocardial I/R injury may be related to down-regulation of TLR4 expression in rat myocardium.

Objective To observe the security and efficacy of sevoflurane inhalation in combination with remifentanil controlled hypotension in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery.Methods Forty pa tients undergoing elective functional endoscopic sinus surgery were randomly divided into propofol group (group P)and sevoflurane group(group S).In group P,patients received remifentanil 0.2μg · kg-1 · min-1 and propofol 4 ~6mg · kg-1 · min-1 intravenously,those in group S received remifentanil 0.2pg · kg-1 · min-1 and continuous inhalation of sevoflurane 2 ~ 3%,the end-tidal concentration was 1.1 ~ 1.7MAC.MAP was retained at 65 ~ 75 mmHg in the two groups.MAP and HR were recorded before controlled hypotension (T1),5min after controlled hypotension (T2),30min after controlled hypotension(T3),the termination of surgery(T4) and 5min after the termination of surgery(T5).Record the patient opening eyes time,wake extubation time,duration of surgery,blood loss.Also observed with or without respiratory depression,drowsiness,restlessness,nausea,vomiting and other adverse reactions.The same surgery fell surgical field quality rating according to Fromme operative field score table.Results Compared with T1,MAP(F =73.68) and HR(F =24.60) decreased significantly(P < 0.05) at the other time points.There was no statistically significant difference in MAP(t =0.90) and HR(t =1.00) at the same time points between the two groups (P > 0.05).Extubation time (t =0.44),duration of operation (t =1.23),operative field score (t =0:43) and blood loss (t =0.58) has no significant differences (P > 0.05).Conclusion Inhalation hypotension by sevoflurane is feasible and safe in the functional endoscopic sinus surgery.It shows good quality of surgical field and less adverse reactions.

Objective To evaluate the effect of aminophylline on monophasic action potential (MAP) during remifentanil-induced negative chronotropic effect in the isolated rabbit hearts.Methods Eighteen healthy adult rabbits,weighing 2.0-2.5 kg,wereused in the study.Their hearts were excised and retrogradely perfused in a Langendorff apparatus.After 15 min of stabilization with K-H solution,the isolated hearts were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),remifentanil group (R group),and remifentanil + aminophylline group (RA group).Group C was perfused with 37 ℃ K-H solution for 60 min.Group R was perfused with K-H solution containing remifentanil 12 ng/ml for 60 min.Group RA was perfused with K-H solution containing remifentanil 12 ng/ml and aminophylline 30 μg/ml for 60 min.At 15 min of stabilization and 15,30 and 60 min of perfusion,HR and MAP in the myardium of left ventricle were recorded:MAP duration at 90% and 50% repolarization (MAPD90,MAPD50) was calculated.The early after depolarization,delay after depolarization and arrhythmia were recorded.Results Compared with group C,HR was significantly decreased at 15,30 and 60 min of perfusion,and MAPD50 and MAPD90 were prolonged in goup R,and HR was increased in group RA.HR was significantly higher,and MAPD50 and MAPD90 were shorter in RA group than in group R.No early after depolarization,delay after depolarization or arrhythmia developed in each group.Conclusion Aminophylline antagonizes remifentanil-induced negative chronotropic effect through shortening monophasic action potential duration in the myocardium of left ventricle of the isolated rabbit hearts.

Objective To explore the role and their relationship of Ki-67, VEGF and p27 expressed in adult patients with acute leukemia. Methods The expression of Ki-67, VEGF and p27 in bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNC) were analyzed by immunocytochemical staining, and their correlations of Ki-67, VEGF and p27 were statistically analyzed. Results The expression of Ki-67(42.48±25.78)% or VEGF (44.89±24.01)% on BMMNC from acute leukemia cells was significantly higher than that in the control (11.40±9.94)% or (16.90±12.54)% (P<0.01). But the expression of p27 (23.65±13.30)% was significantly lower than that in the control (50.23±22.68)% (P<0.01). The expressions of Ki-67 were positively correlated with and VEGF in patients with acute leukemia were positively correlated(r=-0.666, P<0.01), and the expressions of Ki-67 and p27 were negatively correlated with p27 in patients with acute leukemia (r=-0.316, P<0.05).Conclusion The evaluation of expression of Ki-67, VEGF and p27 on acute leukemic cells provides new insights to the pathogenesis is helpful in mechanism and is helpful in the diagnosis of acute leukemia.
