Methods: Mechanical variables of left ventricular papillary muscles from adult and senescent rats (29[degrees]C; pH 7.40; Ca2+ 1.0 or 0.5 mm; stimulation frequency, 12 pulses/min) were studied. The expression of genes coding for the [alpha]- and [beta]-myosin heavy chain (MHC) and Ca2+-ATPase of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) were studied. The effects of halothane and isoflurane were studied. The inotropic effects were compared under low and high loads, using the maximum unloaded shortening velocity (Vmax) and maximum isometric active force (AF). The lusitropic effects were compared in isotonic and isometric conditions.
Results: Senescent rats had a decrease in contraction and relaxation velocities, associated with a reexpression of [beta]-MHC mRNAs and a decrease in SR Ca2+-ATPase mRNAs. Halothane induced a lower negative inotropic effect in senescent rats (1.5 vol%, AF: 53 +/- 14%vs. 39 +/- 12% of baseline values;P < 0.01) whereas isoflurane induced a similar negative inotropic effect (1.5 vol%, AF: 81 +/- 7%vs. 87 +/- 7% of baseline values; NS). Halothane induced a negative lusitropic effect in isotonic conditions in adult, but not in senescent, rats. 相似文献
Methods: Left ventricular papillary muscles and triton-skinned cardiac fibers were provided from control and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The effects of halothane and sevoflurane were studied on inotropic and lusitropic responses, under low (isotony) and high (isometry) loads in papillary muscles and then on isometric tension-Ca2+ concentration (pCa) relations obtained in triton-skinned cardiac fibers. Data are presented as mean +/- SD.
Results: Sevoflurane and halothane induced a negative inotropic effect that was more important in diabetic rats (active force: 1.5% halothane, 19 +/- 6 vs. 24 +/- 6% of baseline, P < 0.05; 3.6% sevoflurane, 47 +/- 14 vs. 69 +/- 17% of baseline, P < 0.05). However, when differences in minimum alveolar concentration were considered, no significant difference was observed between groups for halothane. The effects of halothane and sevoflurane on isotonic relaxation and postrest potentiation were not significantly different between groups. In contrast, the decrease in Ca2+ myofilament sensitivity produced by each anesthetic agent was greater in diabetic rats than in control rats (0.65% halothane, -0.15 +/- 0.07 vs. -0.05 +/- 0.04 pCa unit, P < 0.05; 1.8% sevoflurane, -0.12 +/- 0.06 vs. -0.06 +/- 0.04 pCa unit, P < 0.05). 相似文献
Methods: Rats were exposed to either halothane (0.4% for 6 h or 2% for 2 h) or isoflurane (0.6% for 6 h or 2.8% for 2 h). Reversibility of halothane effects was assessed after 2 h of exposure to 2% halothane. Alveolar and lung liquid clearance were measured by intratracheal instillation of a 5% albumin solution with 1.5 micro Ci of125 I-albumin, during mechanical ventilation with 100% FiO2 and the halogenated agent. The effect of terbutaline (10 sup -4 m) added to the albumin solution was tested after 2 h of exposure to 2% halothane. The increase in protein concentration in the airspaces over 1 h was used to evaluate alveolar liquid clearance. Lung liquid clearance was calculated gravimetrically.
Results: Alveolar liquid clearance rates were decreased by 24%, 30% and 40% compared with controls (P < 0.05) after 2 h of exposure to halothane, 6 h of exposure to halothane, and 6 h of exposure to isoflurane, respectively. After 2 h of exposure to isoflurane, alveolar liquid clearance did not change. In the 2-h halothane exposure group, alveolar liquid clearance returned to the control value 2 h after withdrawal of halothane. Terbutaline increased alveolar liquid clearance by 50% and 89% in the control and 2-h halothane exposure groups, respectively. In all experiments, the same results were obtained for alveolar and lung liquid clearance. 相似文献
Methods: We studied 16 pregnant women scheduled for termination of pregnancy at 8 to 13 weeks gestation and 16 nonpregnant patients undergoing laparoscopic sterilization. Eight patients in each group received halothane and the others received enflurane. After inhalational induction of anesthesia and tracheal intubation, MAC was determined in each patient by observing the motor response to a 10-s, 50-Hz, 80-mA transcutaneous electric tetanic stimulus to the ulnar nerve at varying concentrations of either halothane or enflurane. The end-tidal concentration of inhalational anesthetic was kept constant for at least 15 min before each stimulus and the concentration was varied ultimately in steps of 0.05 vol% (halothane) or 0.10 vol% (enflurane) until a sequence of three alternate responses (move, not move, move) or (not move, move, not move) was obtained. Minimum alveolar concentration for each person was taken as the mean of the two concentrations just permitting and just preventing movement, and MAC for the group was the median of individual MAC values. Confidence intervals were calculated for the percentage decrease in MAC for pregnant women compared with nonpregnant women.
Results: The median (range) MAC of halothane, 0.58 vol% (0.53 to 0.58), and enflurane, 1.15 vol% (0.95-1.25), in the pregnant women were less than those in the nonpregnant women, 0.75 vol% (0.70 to 0.78), P = 0.0005 and 1.65 vol% (1.45 to 1.75), P = 0.0007, respectively. The percentage decrease (95% CI) in MAC for pregnant women was 27% (20 to 27%) for halothane and 30% (24 to 36%) for enflurane. 相似文献
32 Patienten mit Azoospermie oder schwerer Oligozoospermie wurden untersucht. Alle Patienten hatten normales Plasma Testosteron. In 10 Fällen fand sich ein pathologisch erhöhter LH-Wert, in 18 Fällen ein erhöhter FSH-Wert. Die Testes wurden morphometrisch untersucht. Je höher der Grad der Atrophie war, um so kleiner waren die Testes und um so mehr Leydigzellen fanden sich in einem gegebenen Gewebestück. Der Volumenanteil an den Testes, den die Leydigzellen einnahmen, korrelierte signifikant mit der testikulären Testosteronkonzentration (r = 0.435, P < 0.001). In der Subgruppe der Patienten mit erhöhten LH-Werten waren die testikulären Testosteronwerte höher als bei den Patienten mit normalem Plasma LH. Zwei Mechanismen für den beobachteten Effekt werden diskutiert: Das Volumen der Hoden, die mit Leydigzellen besetzt sind, ist relativ als Folge der Atrophie angestiegen; es sind einige Fälle vorhanden, bei denen die abnormal hohe LH-Sekretion einen Anstieg der Hoden-Hormon-Werte verursacht. 相似文献
Methods: Three treatment groups were studied: 1) C, control rats that were decapitated without anesthetic exposure, 2) A, anesthetized rats exposed to 1 minimum effective dose (MED) for 20 min and then decapitated, and 3) R, rats exposed to 1 MED for 20 min and then decapitated after recovery from anesthesia, defined as beginning to groom. Plasma membrane Calcium2+ -ATPase pumping and Calcium2+ -dependent ATPase hydrolytic activity, as well as sodium-calcium exchanger activity and Sodium sup + -Potassium sup + -ATPase hydrolytic activity, were assessed in cerebral SPM. In addition, halothane effect on smooth endoplasmic reticulum Calcium2+ -ATPase (SERCA) was examined.
Results: Plasma membrane Calcium2+ -ATPase transport of Calcium2+ into SPM vesicles from anesthetized rats was reduced to 71% of control (P < 0.01) compared with 113% of control for the recovered group (NS). No depression by halothane of SERCA activity, sodium-calcium exchanger, or Sodium sup + -Potassium sup + -ATPase activity was noted among the CAR treatment groups. 相似文献
Methods: Male Wistar rats were anesthetized with isoflurane (1.4%) or halothane (1.2%), mechanically ventilated and paralyzed (intravenous pancuronium, 1 mg/kg). Microdialysis probes were implanted into the cerebellum. Bovine oxyhemoglobin dissolved in artificial cerebrospinal fluid was pumped through the probe (2 [micro sign]l/ min) and assayed at 15-min intervals. The glutamatergic agonist, kainic acid (KA, 5 mg/kg, intraarterially), was used to stimulate nitric oxide production. NG-nitro L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 40 mg/kg, intravenously) was used to inhibit nitric oxide synthase.
Results: Unstimulated cerebellar nitric oxide concentrations were stable and greater during anesthesia with isoflurane (532 +/- 31 nM; mean +/- SEM) than with halothane (303 +/- 23 nM). L-NAME pretreatment reduced nitric oxide concentrations during isoflurane, but not halothane, anesthesia. Infusion of KA increased nitric oxide in both groups; however, the increase in nitric oxide was significantly greater during isoflurane anesthesia. Pretreatment with L-NAME inhibited the response to KA in both groups. 相似文献
Methods: In Sprague-Dawley rats, anesthesia was induced and maintained with halothane in oxygen and air. The MAC was determined by observing the response to tail clamping and tested during mild hypoglycemia (blood glucose level, 60 mg/dl) and hyperglycemia (blood glucose level, 300 and 500 mg/dl) induced by insulin and glucose infusion, respectively (experiment 1). The effects of 0.3 and 1.0 mg/kg physostigmine given intraperitoneally on MAC were examined in rats with mild and severe hypoglycemia (blood glucose level, 60 and 30 mg/dl; experiment 2).
Results: In experiment 1, mild hypoglycemia significantly reduced the MAC of halothane (0.76 +/- 0.03%) compared with the control value (0.92 +/- 0.04%), but hyperglycemia did not change MAC. In experiment 2, mild and severe hypoglycemia reduced MAC of halothane in a degree-dependent manner. Physostigmine (1 mg/kg) had no effect on MAC regardless of blood glucose level, but 0.3 mg/kg reduced MAC. 相似文献
Peptidantigene mit verhältnismäßig nierigem Molekulargewicht wurden durch Gelfiltrationschromatographie und Dünnschichtchromatographie von Ratten epididymalen Rat-tenspermatozoen isoliert. Nach Koppelung an ein Trägermolekül und Immunisierung von weiblichen Ratten wurde eine signifikante Reduktion der Fertilitätsrate beobachtet. Da diese Peptidantigene ähnlich den Peptidantigenen sind, die bereits von menschlichen Spermatozoen isoliert wurden, kann angenommen werden, daß eine Fertilitätsreduktion auch beim Menschen möglich wäre. 相似文献
The mean dose of anaesthetic given, expressed as the product of inspired concentration times minute ventilation, was 2.3±0.2 1 100% halothane and 2.8±0.2 1 100% enflurane. If one assumes that the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) value for enflurane twice that of halothane, group E received a less potent anaesthetic dose. This might explain the similar induction times, and, in part, the shorter recovery time for enflurane in this study.
No difference was noted between the two agents with regard to post-operative nausea and vomiting or restlessness. 相似文献
