Effect of isoflurane on expression of IL-1β mRNA,IL-6 mRNA and TNF-α mRNA In the hippocamapus of immature rats

Obiective To investigate the effect ofisoflurane on expression of IL-1β mRNA,IL-6 mRNA and TNF-α mRNA in the hippocampus of immature rats.Methods sixty-four 7-clay-old SD rats were randomly assigned into 2 groups(n=32 each):control group(group C)and isoflurane group(group S).group S was exposed to 1.5% isoflurane for 6 h while group C to air.Fore animals were killed before anesthesia(T0,baseline),at 2,4,6 h(T1-3)of isoflurane anesthesia and 4,6,12 and 24 h after anesthesia(T4-7).The hippocampi were immediately removed for determimation of the expression of IL-1β mRNA,IL-6 mRNA and TNF-α mRNA by RT-PCR.Results Compared with group C,the expression of IL-1β mRNA at T1-5,IL-6 mRNA at T2.3 and TNF-α mRNA at T1-6 in the hippocampus was upregulated in group S.Conclusion The expression of IL-1β mRNA,IL-6 mRNA and TNF-β mRNA was elevated in the hippocampus of immature rats after being exposed to isoflurane.

Effects of laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy on the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule β1 and integrin 1 in peritoneal mesothelial cells and its significance

Objective To investigate the changes of the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and integrin β1 in peritoneal mesothelial cells during laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy (LARG) and to explore the possible effects of LARG on the peritoneal metastasis. Methods From April to August 2008, LARG was performed for 26 patients with gastric cancer (laparoscopy group), while 20 cases underwent open radical gastrectomy (open group). Peritoneum of right upper belly was collected at 3 operation time points (the beginning, 2 hours, 4 hours). The expressions of ICAM-1 and integrin β1 in peritoneal mesothelial cells at 3 time points were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results With the operation prolonging, the expression of ICAM-1 and integrin β1 was increased gradually in both LARG and open groups. The expression of integrin β1 in two groups was obviously increased at 4-hour time point as compared to the beginning (P<0.05). Besides, there were no significant differences of these two adhesion molecules among the three operation time points between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Compared with open surgery, LARG is not associated with a greater effect on the expression of ICAM-1 and integrin β1 in peritoneal mesothelial cells, and may not promote peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer through increasing the expression of adhesion molecule in peritoneal mesothelial cells.

超声引导下肢神经阻滞联合喉罩下全麻用于全膝关节置换术的效果

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of uhrasound-guided lower extremity nerve block combined with general anesthesia with laryngeal mask airway in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients of both sexes,aged 52-80 yr,weighing 67-94 kg,undergoing total knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into 2 groups(n=20 each).Group Ⅰ received combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia with endotracheal tube.Group Ⅱ received lower extremity nerve block guided by ultrasound and then combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia with laryngeal mask airway.HR was maintained at 50-100bpm,MAP was maintained at the preoperative baseline level(increase or decrease amplitude<20%of the baseline level)during operation and in pestanesthesia care unit(PACU)and vasoaetive drugs(atropine,esmolol,efedrina,urapidil or labetalol)were given when necessary.The patients received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia with tramedol and lornoxicam(background infusion 2 ml/h,bolus dose 1 ml,lockout interval 15 min)after operation and VAS score was maintained at≤2.The requirement for vasoactive drugs during operation and in PACU,PACU stay length,and consumption of analgesics and occurrence of nausea and vomiting within 24 h after operation were recorded.Results Compared with group Ⅰ,the requirement for all vasoaetive drugs during operation and for esmolol,urapidil and labetalol in PACU was significantly reduced,PACU stay length Was significantly shortened,and the consumption of analgesics and incidence of nausea and vomiting were significantly reduced in group Ⅱ(P<0.01).Conclusion Ultrasound-guided lower extremity nerve block combined with general anesthesia with laryngeal mask airway provides better emcacy with fewer complications and less consumption of postoperative analgesics than general anesthesia with endotracheal tube in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.

Role of spinal cord TNF-α in the development of bone cancer pain in mice

Objective To investigate the role of spinal cord TNF-a in the development of bone cancer pain in mice. Methods Seventy-two 4-6 week old C3H/He mice weighing 18-25 g were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 24 each) : group I sham operation (group S) ; group II bone cancer pain (group BCP) and group Ⅲ etanercept (group E). Bone cancer pain was induced by implantation of osteosarcoma NCTC 2472 cells into the intramedullary space of right femur in group II and Ⅲ . Group Ⅲ received intraperitoneal etanercept 100 μg at 3 days before and immediately before and day 3 and 6 after tumor cell inoculation. In group S culture medium α-MEM containing no cancer cell was injected instead. The paw withdrawal threshold to mechanical stimuli (PWMT) and paw withdrawal latency to thermal stimuli ( PWTL) were measured before inoculation (baseline) and at day 3, 5,7, 10, 14 after inoculation respectively. Eight animals were killed on the 7th, 10th, and 14th day after inoculation in each group. The spinal cords were removed and TNF-α mRNA expression in the spinal cord was determined by RT-PCR. Results Cancer pain was significantly attenuated by pretreatment with etanercept. The TNF-α mRNA expression in the spinal cord was significantly increased after inoculation and was significantly attenuated by pretreatment with etanercept in group Ⅲ . Conclusion Spinal cord TNF-a is involved in the development of bone cancer pain in mice.

脾动脉缩窄对门静脉高压大鼠脾脏iNOS表达及Th1/Th2平衡的影响

Objective To investigate the effect and the potential mechanism of splenic artery coarctation on the expression of iNOS and Th1/Th2 cytokines in spleen of cirrhotic rats with portal hypertension (PHT). Methods Cirrhotic rats were randomized into 3 groups (n= 10):sham operation group (SOG), splenic artery coarctation group (SAC) and splenic artery ligation group (SAL). Ten normal rats treated with sham operation were employed to serve as normal control group (NCG). Immunohistochemial staining was used to observe iNOS. RT-PCR was used to detect IFN-γ and IL-4mRNA. The Pearson's correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between iNOS and IFN-γ or IL-4. Results The expression of iNOS was increased significantly in spleen of cirrhotic rats as compared with NCG(P＜0. 01). It was decreased after SAC and SAL compared with SOG (P＜0. 01). The expression of IFN-γmRNA and IFN-γ/IL-4 of SOG were decreased but IL-4mRNA increased significantly than that of NCG(P＜0.01). IFN-γmRNA was increased after SAC compared with SOG (P＜0.05). IL-4mRNA was decreased and IFN-γ/IL-4 increased after SAC and SAL compared with SOG (P＜0. 05). The expression of iNOS was negatively correlated with the expression of IFN-γmRNA(r=-0.672, P＜ 0.01 ) and positively correlated with the expression of IL-4 mRNA (r=0.634,P＜0. 01). Conclusion The expression of iNOS is decreased and IFN-γ/IL-4 increased after SAC in spleen of cirrhotic rats with PHT and it may improve Th1/Th2 polarization by reducing the expression of iNOS.
