Methods: Sagittal sinus catheters and cortical microdialysis catheters were inserted into anesthetized pigs. Animals undergoing normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass were pretreated with lamotrigine 0, 10, 25, or 50 mg/kg (n = 10 per group). Fifteen minutes of global cerebral ischemia was produced, followed by 40 min of reperfusion and discontinuation of cardiopulmonary bypass. Cerebral oxygen metabolism was calculated using cerebral blood flow (radioactive microspheres) and arterial-venous oxygen content gradients. Concentrations of microdialysate glutamate and aspartate were quantified; electroencephalographic signals were recorded. After cardiopulmonary bypass, blood and cerebrospinal fluid were sampled for S-100B protein, and a biopsy was performed on the cerebral cortex for metabolic profile.
Results: Lamotrigine caused dose-dependent reductions in systemic vascular resistance so that additional fluid was required to maintain venous return. Concentrations of glutamate and aspartate did not change during reperfusion after 50 mg/kg lamotrigine in contrast to fivefold and twofold increases, respectively, with lower doses. There were no intergroup differences in cerebral metabolism, electroencephalographic scores, cortical metabolites, brain lactate, or S-100B protein concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid and blood. 相似文献
Methods: New Zealand white rabbits (n = 48) were randomly assigned to sham, normothermic, hypothermic, isoflurane, or pentobarbital groups. In the normothermic, hypothermic, isoflurane, and pentobarbital groups, 6.5 min of global cerebral ischemia was produced. In animals randomized to the isoflurane and pentobarbital groups, a pattern of burst suppression was achieved on the electroencephalogram before the start of the ischemic episode. Animals in the hypothermia group were cooled to 30[degrees]C before ischemia. Seven days after ischemia, eyeblink training was started using an audible tone presented for 100 ms as the conditioned stimulus. The unconditioned stimulus was an air puff directed at the cornea. The delay between the end of conditioned stimulus and the start of the unconditioned stimulus (the trace interval) was 300 ms in duration. A conditioned response was defined as an eyeblink that was initiated during the trace interval. Eighty trials per day and 15 days of training were delivered.
Results: Neurologic deficits were greatest in the normothermia group, and these animals also had fewer conditioned responses than those in the sham, hypothermia, or pentobarbital groups. Animals in the isoflurane group had an intermediate number of conditioned responses that was not significantly different from the normothermia group. 相似文献
Methods: After approval by the Animal Care and Use Committee, 10 New Zealand white rabbits were anesthetized (1% halothane in air) and mechanical ventilation was adjusted to maintain the arterial carbon dioxide tension at 35 mmHg (alpha-stat). A sensor to measure PO2 brain, PCO2 brain, pHbrain, and Tbrain was inserted into the brain through a burr hole in the skull. Tbrain was adjusted to 38 [degree sign] Celsius, 34.4 [degree sign] Celsius, and 29.4 [degree sign] Celsius in a random sequence in each animal. PO2 brain, PCO sub 2 brain, and pHbrain (all variables are reported at the actual Tbrain) were recorded every 10 s during a 5-min baseline, 3 min of cerebral ischemia induced by inflation of a neck tourniquet, and 10 min of reperfusion at each level of Tbrain. Analysis of variance and Dunnett's test were used for statistical analysis. Data are presented as means +/- SD.
Results: During ischemia, PO2 brain decreased from 56 +/- 3 to 33 +/- 2 mmHg at 38 [degree sign] Celsius, from 58 +/- 3 to 32 +/- 3 mmHg at 34.4 [degree sign] Celsius, and from 51 +/- 2 to 32 +/- 2 mmHg at 29.4 [degree sign] C (p = NS). PCO2 brain increased by 6.7 +/- 2 mmHg at 38 [degree sign] Celsius, by 5.1 +/- 1.4 mmHg at 34.4 [degree sign] Celsius, and by 2.3 +/- 0.8 mmHg at 29.4 [degree sign] Celsius. pH sub brain inversely followed the trend of PCO2 brain. 相似文献
Methods: Male Wistar rats weighing 230-290 g were anesthetized with halothane in nitrous oxide-oxygen and were subjected to 10 min of transient forebrain ischemia using a four-vessel occlusion technique. Fifteen minutes before ischemic injury, dantrolene sodium (5 mm), dimethyl sulfoxide as a vehicle for dantrolene, or artificial cerebrospinal fluid as a control was intracerebroventricularly administered (n = 8 in each group). In the hippocampal CA1 subfield, the extracellular glutamate concentration in vivo was measured during the periischemic period with a microdialysis biosensor, and the number of intact neurons was evaluated on day 7 after reperfusion.
Results: Both dantrolene and dimethyl sulfoxide significantly reduced the ischemia-induced increase in glutamate concentration to a similar extent, i.e., by 53 and 51%, respectively, compared with artificial cerebrospinal fluid (P < 0.01). The number of intact hippocampal CA1 neurons (mean +/- SD; cells/mm) in dantrolene-treated rats (78 +/- 21) was significantly higher than that in artificial cerebrospinal fluid- (35 +/- 14;P < 0.001) and dimethyl sulfoxide-treated (56 +/- 11;P < 0.05) animals. Dimethyl sulfoxide also significantly increased the number of preserved neurons in comparison with artificial cerebrospinal fluid (P < 0.05). 相似文献
Methods: Ischemia was induced by bilateral carotid occlusion for 5 min in diethylether-anesthetized normothermic gerbils. Dexmedetomidine was administered subcutaneously in four different treatment paradigms (6-8 animals/group): 3 or 30 micro gram/kg 30 min before and thereafter at 3, 12, 24, and 48 h after the occlusion, or 3 or 30 micro gram/kg at 3, 12, 24, and 48 h after the occlusion. Control animals were subjected to forebrain ischemia but received only saline injections. One week after occlusion, animals were transcardially perfused for histochemistry. Neuronal death in the CA1 and CA3 regions of the hippocampus and in the hilus of the dentate gyrus was evaluated in silver-stained 60-micro meter coronal sections.
Results: Compared with saline-treated ischemic animals, dexmedetomidine at a dose of 3 micro gram/kg given before and continued after the induction of ischemia reduced the number of damaged neurons in the CA3 area (2 +/- 3 vs. 17 +/- 20 degenerated neurons/mm2; P <0.05). Also in the dentate hilus, the number of damaged neurons was reduced by dexmedetomidine (3 micro gram/kg) given before and continued after ischemia (5 +/- 7 vs. 56 +/- 42 degenerated neurons/mm2; P <0.01). 相似文献
Methods: Lidocaine was administered as an intravenous bolus (1.5 mg/kg) followed by an intravenous infusion (2 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1) for 165 min, beginning 45 min after the onset of a 90-min period of transient focal cerebral ischemia. Control animals were given the same volume of saline. Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by occluding the right middle cerebral artery using an intraluminal suture. Neurologic outcome and body weight loss were quantified 7 days later. The brain was fixed 7 days after ischemia and brain sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for assessment of infarct size and the number of intact neurons. In separate experiments, local cerebral blood flow and the electroencephalogram were measured during ischemia and 180 min into the reperfusion period. Infarct size was assessed after 24 h.
Results: Infarct size, at either 24 h or 7 days after ischemia, was not significantly reduced in the lidocaine group. However, the number of intact neurons was significantly increased in both the ischemic penumbra and core of the lidocaine group 7 days after ischemia, compared with the vehicle group. Rats treated with lidocaine demonstrated better neurologic outcome and less weight loss (P < 0.05). Lidocaine treatment had no significant influence on local cerebral blood flow and electroencephalogram during ischemia and reperfusion. 相似文献
Methods: Male Wistar rats (weight, 280-340 g) were anesthetized with isoflurane, intubated, and mechanically ventilated. After surgical preparation, animals were assigned to lidocaine 2-day (n = 10), vehicle 2-day (n = 12), lidocaine 7-day (n = 13), and vehicle 7-day (n = 14) groups. A 1.5-mg/kg bolus dose of lidocaine was injected intravenously 30 min before ischemia in the lidocaine 2-day and 7-day groups. Thereafter, an infusion was initiated at a rate of 2 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1 until 60 min of reperfusion after ischemia. Rats were subjected to 90 min of focal cerebral ischemia using the intraluminal suture method. Infarct size was determined by image analysis of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride-stained sections at 48 h or hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections 7 days after reperfusion. Neurologic outcome and body weight loss were also evaluated.
Results: The infarct size was significantly smaller in the lidocaine 2-day group (185.0 +/- 43.7 mm3) than in the vehicle 2-day group (261.3 +/- 45.8 mm3, P < 0.01). The reduction in the size of the infarct in the lidocaine 7-day group (130.4 +/- 62.9 mm3) was also significant compared with the vehicle 7-day group (216.6 +/- 73.6 mm3, P < 0.01). After 7 days of reperfusion, the rats in the lidocaine group demonstrated better neurologic outcomes and less weight loss. 相似文献
Methods: Rats were anesthetized with 0.8% halothane/50% N2 O, vascular catheters were placed, and a glass microelectrode and microdialysis cannula were inserted into the cerebral cortex. Experimental groups were: (1) control, pericranial, t = 38 degrees C; (2) hypothermia, t = 28 degrees C; (3) pentobarbital, t = 38 degrees Celsius; and (4) isoflurane, t = 38 degrees C. Halothane/N2 O was continued in groups 1 and 2, whereas a deep burst-suppression or isoelectric electroencephalogram was achieved with the test drugs in groups 3 and 4. Cerebral metabolic rates were similar in groups 2, 3, and 4. After a baseline dialysis sample was collected, animals were killed with potassium chloride. The time to terminal depolarization was recorded, after which three consecutive 10-min dialysate samples were collected. Glutamate, aspartate, gamma-aminobutyric acid, and glycine concentrations were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography.
Results: Times to terminal depolarization were shorter in both pentobarbital and isoflurane groups than with hypothermia (103+/- 15 and 127+/-10 vs. 195+/-20 s, respectively, mean +/-SD). However, times to terminal depolarization in all three groups were longer than in control subjects (control = 70+/-9 s). Postdepolarization concentrations of all compounds were lower in hypothermic animals (vs. normothermic control animals), but no reductions in glutamate, aspartate, or glycine concentrations were noted in pentobarbital or isoflurane groups. gamma-aminobutyric acid concentrations were reduced by both anesthetics, but not to the same degree as with hypothermia. 相似文献
Methods: Ninety-nine patients undergoing 100 CEAs with regional anesthesia (deep or superficial cervical plexus block) were studied. Bilateral regional cerebrovascular oxygen saturation (rSO2) was monitored using the INVOS-3100 cerebral oximeter. Patients were retrospectively assigned to one of two groups: those in whom a change in mental status or contralateral motor deficit was noted after internal carotid clamping (neurologic symptoms; n = 10) and those who did not show any neurologic change (no neurologic symptoms; n = 90). Data from 94 operations (neurologic symptoms = 10 and no neurologic symptoms = 84) were adequate for statistical analyses for group comparisons. A relative decrease in ipsilateral rSO2 after carotid occlusion (calculated as a percentage of preocclusion value) during all operations (n = 100) was also calculated to determine the critical level of rSO2 decrease associated with a change in neurologic function.
Results: The mean (+/- SD) decrease in rSO2 after carotid occlusion in the neurologic symptoms group (from 63.2 +/- 8.4% to 51.0 +/- 11.6%) was significantly greater (P = 0.0002) than in the no neurologic symptoms group (from 65.8 +/- 8.5% to 61.0 +/- 9.3%). Logistic regression analysis used to determine if a change in rSO2, calculated as a percentage of preclamp value, could be used to predict change in neurologic function was highly significant (likelihood ratio chi-square = 13.7;P = 0.0002). A 20% decrease in rSO2 reading from the preclamp baseline, as a predictor of neurologic compromise, resulted in a sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 82.2%. The false-positive rate using this cutoff point was 66.7%, and the false-negative rate was 2.6%, providing a positive predictive value of 33.3% and a negative predictive value of 97.4%. 相似文献
Methods: Arterial and jugular venous concentration changes of adenosine, hypoxanthine, and lactate were studied in 41 patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy. Cerebral tissue oxygenation was monitored continuously by somatosensory-evoked potentials. A carotid artery shunt (n = 6) was placed only after complete loss of somatosensory-evoked potentials.
Results: Before carotid artery clamping jugular venous concentrations of adenosine, hypoxanthine, and lactate in subsequently shunted patients were 229 +/- 88 nM, 1105 +/- 116 nM, and 0.85 +/- 0.52 mM, respectively (mean +/- SD). In patients who required shunting, carotid artery clamping induced a significant increase in jugular venous adenosine (389 +/- 114 nM) and jugular venous hypoxanthine (1444 +/- 168 nM). In contrast, the increase in jugular venous lactate (0.91 +/- 0.48 mM) did not reach statistical significance. Focal cerebral ischemia was indicated by jugular venous adenosine with a sensitivity and specificity of 0.83 and 0.71, respectively. 相似文献
Methods: Temporary spinal cord ischemia was induced by 29 min of infrarenal balloon occlusion of the aorta in 60 anesthetized New Zealand white rabbits. Animals were randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups (n = 15 each): group C, saline (control); group R, riluzole, 8 mg/kg intravenously; group K, ketamine, 55 mg/kg intravenously; group RK, riluzole and ketamine. After reperfusion, riluzole treatment was continued with intraperitoneal infusions. Normothermia (38[degrees]C) was maintained during ischemia, and rectal temperature was assessed before and after intraperitoneal infusions. Neurologic function, according to Tarlov's criteria, was evaluated every 24 h, and infarction volume and the number of eosinophilic neurons and viable motoneurons in the lumbosacral spinal cord was evaluated after 72 h.
Results: Neurologic outcome was better in groups R and RK than in groups C and K. All animals in group C (100%) and all animals but one in group K (93%) were paraplegic 72 h after the ischemic insult versus 53% in group R and 67% in group RK (P < 0.01 each). More viable motoneurons were present in groups R and RK than in controls (P < 0.05). 相似文献
Methods: Microdialysis probes were implanted into the parietal cortex and dorsal hippocampus of four groups of anesthetized rats (n = 5 per group). The hypothermic group was anesthetized with 1.2% halothane. The two isoflurane groups were anesthetized with 0.5 minimum alveolar concentration or electroencephalographic burst-suppression doses of isoflurane ([nearly equal] 2 minimum alveolar concentration). The control group was anesthetized with 70% N2 O-30% Oxygen2 and fentanyl. The pericranial temperature was maintained at 34 degrees Celsius in the hypothermic group and at 38 degrees Celsius in the remaining groups. Ischemia was induced by bilateral carotid artery occlusion with simultaneous hypotension to 35 mmHg for 10 min, followed by a reperfusion period of 70 min. Dialysate was collected before, during, and after ischemia. The concentrations of glutamate and glycine in the dialysate were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography.
Results: Preischemic glutamate and glycine concentrations in the dialysate were similar among the groups. Ischemia resulted in a significant increase in glutamate and glycine concentrations in the N sub 2 O-fentanyl groups in the parietal cortex and in the hippocampus. This increase in neurotransmitter concentrations did not occur in the hypothermic group in either structure. Isoflurane reduced glutamate concentrations in both structures and glycine concentrations in the hippocampus. In the parietal cortex, glycine concentrations did not increase in either isoflurane group. 相似文献
