Objective:To evaluate the relationship between dexmedetomidine-induced reduction of sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity and cation-chloride cotransporters Na + -K + -2Cl --1 (NKCC1) /K + -2Cl --2 (KCC2) in neonatal rats. Methods:Eighty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats at postnatal day 7 were divided into 4 groups ( n=20 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), sevoflurane anesthesia group (group S), dexmedetomidine group (group D), and sevoflurane and dexmedetomidine group (group SD). Rats were exposed to 2.5% sevoflurane for 6 h to establish the model of sevoflurane anesthesia in group S. Dexmedetomidine 1.0 μg/kg was intraperitoneally injected, and then sevoflurane anesthesia was performed in group SD.The expression of cleaved caspase-3, NKCC1 and KCC2 was detected by Western blot at 24 h after the end of anesthesia.At 35 days after the end of anesthesia, the cognitive function was assessed using the Y maze test, and the neurons in the hippocampal CA1 area were counted using the Nissan staining method. Results:Compared with group C, the percentage of time spent in novel arm and the number of neurons in hippocampal CA1 area were significantly decreased, the expression of cleaved caspase-3 and NKCC1 was up-regulated, the expression of KCC2 was down-regulated, and the ratio of NKCC1/KCC2 was increased in S and SD groups ( P<0.05), and no change was found in the above indicators in group D ( P>0.05). Compared with group S, the percentage of time spent in novel arm and the number of neurons in hippocampal CA1 area were significantly increased, the expression of cleaved caspase-3 and NKCC1 was down-regulated, the expression of KCC2 was up-regulated, and the ratio of NKCC1/KCC2 was decreased in group SD ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The mechanism of dexmedetomidine attenuating sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity may be related to maintaining the relatively stable expression of NKCC1/KCC2 in neonatal rats.

To analyze the clinical and image features for 12 patients of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarct and leucoencephalopathy (CADASIL).
 Methods: A total of 12 CADASIL patients were collected in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2013 to December 2018. The clinical manifestation, risk factors, MRI imaging data and NOTCH3 mutations were analyzed retrospectively.
 Results: The mean age of 12 patients was (47.25±9.49) years. The clinical manifestation was most common in cognitive impairment (75%) and stroke events (58.3%), and 2 cases showed cerebral hemorrhage. Migraine was only seen in 25% patients. All MRI showed white matter hyperintensity (WMH), lacune and enlarged perivascular space (PVS). WMH mainly occurred in the frontal parietal lobe (100%), temporal lobe (83.3%), external capsule (66.7%), occipital lobe (41.6%), callosum 41.6% and the temporal pole (33.3%), while lacune mainly appeared in frontal lobe (91.6%), parietal lobe(83.3%), temporal lobe(66.7%), basal ganglia (66.7%), brain stem (41.6%), occipital lobe (33.3%), cerebellum (8.3%). Enlarged PVS located in the basal ganglia (100%), partly under the cortex (45.4%). WMH of the patient with intracerebral hemorrhage was mild (Fezakas score 1-2), which was not found in external capsule. 16.7% of the patients had intracranial arterial stenosis. In 12 patients, 8 different Notch3 mutations were detected. The c1013G>c p.(Cys338Ser) located in exon 6, which was a new pathogenic mutation of CADASIL.
 Conclusion: The patients with cerebral hemorrhage have mild WMH and specific genotype, indicating that the clinical characteristics of CADASIL with cerebral hemorrhage may be related to image features and genotype.

Objective To evaluate the effect of sevoflurane combined with propofol anesthesia on the postoperative expression of nuclear heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein A2 (hnRNPA2) in brain tissues of rats with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 16-18 months,were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium.MCI was induced by ligation of bilateral common carotid arteries after anesthesia.Forty-eight rats with MCI were divided into 4 groups (n =12 each) using a random number table method:sham operation group (SH group),sevoflurane anesthesia group (S group),propofol anesthesia group (P group),and sevoflurane combined with propofol anesthesia group (SP group).Group S inhaled 3％ sevoflurane.Propofol was intravenously infused at a rate of 40 mg · kg-1 · h-1 in group P.In group SP,1.7％ sevoflurane was inhaled,and propofol 20 mg· kg-1 · h-1 was intravenously infused.The anesthesia time was 3 h in the three groups.After disappearance of eyelash reflex,open reduction and internal fixation was performed after tibial fracture was induced.Y-maze test was performed at 7 days after operation,and the percentage of time of staying at novel arm was calculated.The open field test was performed,and the total activity distance and time of staying at the central region were recorded.Then the rats were sacrificed,and brain tissues were obtained for determination of the expression of hnRNAP2 and γ-aminobutyric acid receptor A1 subunit (GABAA-α1) in hippocampus by immunofluorescence and Western blot,respectively.Results Compared with SH group,the percentage of time of staying at novel arm was significantly decreased,the expression of hnRNPA2 in the hippocampus was up-regulated,and the expression of GABAA-α1 was down-regulated in S and P groups,and the expression of hnRNPA2 in the hippocampus was up-regulated (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the percentage of time of staying at novel ann or expression of GABAA-α1 in SP group (P＞ 0.05).Compared with S group or P group,the percentage of time of staying at novel arm was significantly increased,the expression of hnRN-PA2 in the hippocampus was down-regulated,and the expression of GABAA-α1 was up-regulated in SP group (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the total distance or time of staying at the central region among the four groups (P＞ 0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which sevoflurane combined with propofol anesthesia does not aggravate the postoperative cognitive dysfunction may be related to up-regulating the expression of hnRNPA2 in brain tissues and maintaining GABAA-α1 stable in rats with MCI.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical presentation and gene of 2 pedigrees with suspected oculocutaneous albinism(OCA), and provide basis for clinical classification, genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis. METHODS: Variants were identified using next-generation sequencing(NGS) and confirmed by Sanger sequencing in 2 pedigrees with suspected OCA. The pathogenicity of the variants was analyzed according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) standard. RESULTS: Two compound heterozygous mutations of TYR and OCA2 genes were identified respectively in 2 pedigrees with suspected OCA. The mutation of c.819+3insATATGCC in TYR and the mutation of c.1870G>C in OCA2 are first reported in this study. The pathogenicity analysis shows that two novel mutations are likely pathogenic by combination of prediction of SIFT, Polyphen-2 and Human Splicing Finder. CONCLUSION The findings of this study expand the mutational spectrum of OCA. Compound heterozygous mutations in the TYR and OCA2 gene may be responsible for clinical manifestations of 2 pedigrees with suspected OCA.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the expression of NR1 subunit-containing NMDA receptors and GIuR2 subunit-containing AMPA receptors during hypoxic injury to rat hippocampal neurons.Methods The hippocampal neurons were isolated from Wistar rats within 24 h after birth and divided into 3 groups (n=24 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),hypoxia group (group H) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).The cells were subjected to hypoxia for 6 h to establish the model of neuronal hypoxic injury in H and D groups.In group D,0.1 μmol/L dexmedetomidine was added at 6 h of hypoxia and neurons were incubated for 3 h,and then the culture medium was replaced with a normal medium and neurons were incubated for 24 h.The neuronal viability was measured by CCK-8 assay,the leakage of LDH was detected,and the leakage rate was calculated.The expression of NR1 subunits-containing NMDA receptors and GluR2 subunits-containing AMPA receptors was detected by Western blot.The concentration of calcium ion in cytoplasm was measured using Fluo-3AM.Results Compared with group C,the neuronal viability was significantly decreased,the LDH leakage rate was increased,the expression of NR1 subunits-containing NMDA receptors in the membrane was up-regulated,the expression of GluR2 subunits-containing AMPA receptors was down-regulated,and the concentration of calcium ion in cytoplasm was increased in H and D groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group H,the neuronal viability was significantly increased,the LDH leakage rate was decreased,the expression of NR1 subunits-containing NMDA receptors in the membrane was down-regulated,the expression of GluR2 subunitscontaining AMPA receptors was up-regulated,and the concentration of calcium ion in cytoplasm was decreased in group D (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine reduces hypoxic injury to rat hippocampal neurons may be related to inhibiting up-regulation of the expression of NR1 subunits-containing NMDA receptors in the membrane and down-regulation of the expression of GluR2 subunitscontaining AMPA receptors.

Objective To determine the median effective dose(ED50)of etomidate inhibiting responses to endotracheal intubation when combined with dexmedetomidine in the patients with obstructive jaundice. Methods American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients with obstructive jaundice,aged 45-63 yr,with body mass index of 18-30kg/m2,scheduled for elective operations under general anesthesia,were divided into control group(group C)and dexmedetomidine group(group D)using a random number table. At 15min before induction of anesthesia,normal saline 0.1 ml/kg was infused intravenously in group C,and dexmedetomidine 0.4 μg/kg was infused intravenously in group D. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.05 mg/kg,fentanyl 4 μg/kg,etomidate and cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg. The ED50 of etomidate was determined using Dixon′s up-and-down method. Etomidate was injected intravenously at the initial dose of 0.2 mg/kg in the first patient in each group. Each time the dose increased/decreased in the next patient according to whether or not the increase in mean arterial pressure and/or heart rate ≥ 20% of the baseline value within 3min after endotracheal intubation. The ratio between the two successive doses was 1.1. The number of patients in whom inhibition was effective or ineffective was recorded,and the ED50 and 95% confidence interval of etomidate inhibiting responses to intubation were calculated using Probit analysis. Results The ED50 (95% confidence interval)of etomidate inhibiting responses to intubation was 0.185(0.162-0.201)mg/kg in group C,the ED50(95% confidence interval)of etomidate inhibiting responses to intubation was 0.129(0.093-0.143)mg/kg in group D,and there was significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion When combined with dexmedetomidine,the ED50 of etomidate inhibiting responses to endotracheal intubation is 0.129 mg/kg in the patients with obstructive jaundice.

Objective To investigate the appropriate compatibility of appropriate compatibility of sevoflurane and propofol for patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusion in order to protect their cognitive function.Methods Eighty patients, 41 males, 39 females, aged 65-75 years, BMI 17-26 kg/m2, ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled to undergo elective posterior lumbar interbody fusion, were to be scored according to Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), mini mental state examination (MMSE), dementia scale (CDR) and daily living ability scale (ADL) to identify patients with MCI before the surgery.They were randomly assigned to 4 groups (n=20 each) using a random number table: TCI propofol 2.0-2.5 μg/ml group (group P), TCI propofol 1.2 μg/ml+sevoflurane 0.6 MAC group (group PS1), TCI propofol 0.6 μg/ml+sevoflurane 0.9 MAC group (group PS2), 1.0-1.5 MAC sevoflurane group (group S).MoCA and MMSE were used to evaluate the cognitive function of patients 1 d before the operation (T0), after patients become wide-awake (T1), 3 d and 7 d after operation (T2 and T3).Apolipoprotein J (ApoJ) concentration related to cognitive function in blood samples, which were drawn at T0-T3 would be measured with ELISA method.Results Compared with T0, the scores of MMSE and MoCA in four groups decreased significantly (P＜0.05) at T1, the scores of MMSE and MoCA in group S decreased significantly (P＜0.05) at T2;compared with T1, the score of MMSE in the four groups increased significantly at T2, T3 (P＜0.05).The scores of MMSE at T1, T3 in group S decreased significantly compared with groups P, PS1 and PS2 (P＜0.05).The scores of MoCA at T2, T3 in group S decreased significantly compared with groups P, PS1 and PS2 (P＜0.05).Compared with T0, the concentration of plasma ApoJ in the four groups increased significantly at T1 (P＜0.05).Compared with T1, the concentration of plasma ApoJ in the four groups decreased significantly at T2 and T3 (P＜0.05).Compared with group PS1, the concentration of plasma ApoJ at T1, T3 increased significantly in groups S and group PS2 (P＜0.05).Conclusion TCI propofol 1.2 μg/ml combined with 0.6 MAC sevoflurane group is the appropriate compatibility of sevoflurane and propofol for patients with MCI undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusion,because it has less negative influence on cognitive function and lower concentration of plasma ApoJ.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different ratios of medicine dosage for propofol and sevoflurane on postoperative cognitive function in elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment.Methods Ninety-six patients of both sexes,aged 65-75 yr,weighing 60-80 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective lower limb fracture operation under general anesthesia,with mild cognitive impairment before surgery,were assigned into 4 groups (n =24 each) using a random number table:propofol group (group P),sevoflurane group (group S) and different ratios of medicine dosage for propofol and sevoflurane groups (group PS1 and group PS2).Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were used to evaluate the cognitive function of patients at 1 day before operation (T0) and 7 days after operation (T1).Venous blood samples were collected at T0 and T1 for determination of the concentrations of plasma apolipoprotein J (ApoJ) and soluble CD14 (sCD14) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results Compared with group S,MMSE and MoCA scores were significantly increased and plasma concentrations of ApoJ and sCD14 were decreased at T1,and the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction was decreased in P,PS1 and PS2 groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group PS1,MMSE and MoCA scores were significantly decreased and the plasma concentrations of ApoJ and sCD14 were increased at T1,and the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction was increased in P and PS2 groups (P＜0.05).MMSE and MoCA scores were significantly lower and plasma concentrations of ApoJ and sCD14 were higher at T1 than at T0 in S,P and PS2 groups (P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference in the parameters mentioned above between T1 and T0 in group PS1 (P＞0.05).Conclusion Combination of propofol 1.2 μg/ml given by target-controlled infusion and 0.7-1.2％ sevoflurane inhalation for maintenance of anesthesia does not aggravate the postoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment.
