地塞米松对布比卡因诱导小鼠神经元毒性的影响

Objective To investigate the effect of dexamethasone on the toxicity of bupivacaine in murine neurons.Methods Murine neuroblastoma cell line N2a was obtained from ATCC cell bank (USA). The cells were cultured in 10% fetal cow serum/MEM culture medium and divided into 4 groups voup I control (Con); group II bupivacaine ( Bup); group Ⅲ dexamethasone (Dex) and group IV Dex + Bup. The culture medium contained bupivacaine 900 μmol/L in group Bup and dexamethasone 1 μmol/L in group Dex respectively. In group Dex + Bup ( IV ) Bup was added to the culture medium with a final concentration of 900 μmol/L at 12 h after pretreatment with Dex 1 μmol/L. The cells were inoculated in 24 well plates (0.5 ml in each well, 24 wells in each group) and 10 cm culture dishes (7 ml in each dish, 4 dishes in each group). The release rate of LDH was calculated and the morphology of the cells and nucleus condensation (by Hoechst 3334224 fluorescent staining) was detected at 9 h of incubation in 24 well plates. The mitochondrial transmembrane potential (by JC-1 assay) and phosphorylation of Akt and ERKs (by Western blot) were measured at 5 h of incubation in 24 well plates and in culture dishes respectively. ResultsBupivacaine caused severe damage to the N2a cells as evidenced by increase in LDH release and nucleus condensation (apoptosis), dephosphorylation of Akt and ERKs, decrease in mitochondrial transmembrane potential and severe morphological changes. Dexamethasone pretreatment significantly attenuated bupivacaine-induced neurotoxicity. Conclusion Dexamethasone can protect N2a cells from bupivacaine-induced neurotoxicity through stabilization of mitochondrial transmembrane potential and inhibition of dephosphorylation of Akt and ERKs.

Pharmacological evaluation of natural product analogues. I. Preliminary pharmacological evaluation of O-methylgortschakoine and O-methylpetaline

The synthesis of O-methylgortschakoine and O-methylpetaline was achieved through an unambiguous route. Pharmacological testing of O-methylgortschakoine in comparison to papaverine and 7,8-dimethoxy-N-methyltetrahydroisoquinoline, indicated that it possesses hypotensive, neuromuscular blocking and smooth muscle relaxant activities. 7,8-Dimethoxy-N-methyltetrahydroisoquinoline showed only nonspecific smooth muscle relaxation in our testing system. The 1-(p-methoxybenzyl)-substituent of O-methylgortschakoine appears to be required for this hypotensive and neuromuscular blocking effect. The quaternary analogue O-melthylpetaline was found to possess a more potent neuromuscular blocking activity.     

Rapidly Progressive Toxic Leukoencephalomyelopathy with Myelodysplastic Syndrome: a Clinicopathological Correlation

Neurological disorders induced by long-term exposure to organic solvents typically have a slowly progressive clinical course, which may be arrested or even reversed following discontinuation of exposure. We report an unusual case of rapidly progressive toxic leukoencephalomyelopathy in a 29-year-old man who had worked at a chemical factory that used toluene for the manufacture of nylon 66 for 5 years. He presented with progressive weakness of legs, recurrent seizures, and cognitive decline. Widespread white-matter changes in the brain and spinal cord, and myelodysplastic syndrome were noted. He died 6 months after the onset of his symptoms, and autopsy showed discrete multifocal demyelination and necrosis in the central nervous system, and dysplastic cells of erythroid, myeloid, and megakaryotic lineages in blood vessels. The co-occurrence of leukoencephalomyelopathy and myelodysplastic syndrome highlights the vulnerability of the white matter and bone marrow to injury from organic solvents. Intravascular congestion of dysplastic hematopoietic cells might have led to his unusually rapid progression of leukoencephalomyelopathy.     

Effect of linoleic acid, linoleic acid anilide, and arachidonic acid on the expression of adhesion molecules on human neutrophils

The effects of linoleic acid, linoleic acid anilide, and arachidonic acid on the expression of CD11b/CD18, CD11c/CD18 integrins and l-selectin on human neutrophils were studied by flow cytometry in a whole blood assay. None of these compounds had any effect on the basal expression of CD11b, CD11c, or l-selectin in the concentration range of 20–100 μM. However, linoleic acid at a concentration of 1000 μM slightly up-regulated CD11b and CD11c by a factor of 2.1 and 1.7, respectively. Linoleic acid, linoleic acid anilide, and arachidonic acid did not affect the formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine induced up-regulation of CD11b or CD11c. However, linoleic acid and linoleic acid anilide slightly inhibited the phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-induced expression of CD11b, which was decreased by 27 and 21% at concentrations of 100 and 1000 μM, respectively. Likewise, arachidonic acid at 40 μM inhibited the PMA-induced expression of CD11b by 19%. Our results suggest that linoleic acid, linoleic acid anilide, and arachidonic acid do not dramatically affect the expression of leukocyte adhesion molecules in a whole blood assay.

Antiarrhythmic actions of tedisamil: Studies in rats and primates

Tedisamil is a new bradycardic agent, previously shown to block transient outward and delayed rectifier potassium currents in cardiac tissue [1,2]. In the present study tedisamil caused bradycardia and Q-Tc widening in rats and primates. Q-Tc widening is indicative of class III antiarrhythmic actions. In keeping with this, tedisamil had antiarrhythmic activity against electrical and ischemia-induced arrhythmias in rats. In rats, 0.5–4 mg/kg IV tedisamil caused parallel and dose-related increases in action-potential duration, Q-Tc interval, and refractory period; and decreases in maximum ventricular following frequency. In primates after 0.5–2.0 mg/kg IV, findings were similar for indices of Q-T widening and decreases in maximum ventricular following frequency. Tedisamil did not change QRS width, nor did it increase threshold currents for capture of ventricles, nor for fibrillo-flutter at doses below 4 mg/kg in rats. These findings were consistent with the lack of significant sodium-channel blockade. However, upon increasing the dose to 4 mg/kg, ventricular fibrillo-flutter could not be induced in rats by electrical stimulation; instead, only ventricular tachycardias with slow rates occurred. Ischemia-induced ventricular fibrillation was reduced in a dose-related manner by tedisamil in rats. The overall incidence of ischemia-induced ventricular tachycardia was not markedly reduced, but rates during tachycardic episodes were lower. When pacing was used to overcome tedisamil-induced bradycardia, antiarrhythmic actions during ischemia were more pronounced. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that tedisamil increased refractoriness, which resulted in extended path lengths for reentry circuits and slower rates during episodes of ventricular tachycardia. High doses of tedisamil increased path lengths so much that the multiple reentry circuits of fibrillation could no longer occur. The limited study in primates suggests similar mechanisms could occur in humans.
