Isoflurane Preconditioning Improves Long-term Neurologic Outcome after Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Injury in Neonatal Rats

Background: Preconditioning the brain with relatively safe drugs seems to be a viable option to reduce ischemic brain injury. The authors and others have shown that the volatile anesthetic isoflurane can precondition the brain against ischemia. Here, the authors determine whether isoflurane preconditioning improves long-term neurologic outcome after brain ischemia.

Methods: Six-day-old rats were exposed to 1.5% isoflurane for 30 min at 24 h before the brain hypoxia-ischemia that was induced by left common carotid arterial ligation and then exposure to 8% oxygen for 2 h. The neuropathology, motor coordination, and learning and memory functions were assayed 1 month after the brain ischemia. Western analysis was performed to quantify the expression of the heat shock protein 70, Bcl-2, and survivin 24 h after isoflurane exposure.

Results: The mortality was 45% after brain hypoxia-ischemia. Isoflurane preconditioning did not affect this mortality. However, isoflurane preconditioning attenuated ischemia-induced loss of neurons and brain tissues, such as cerebral cortex and hippocampus in the survivors. Isoflurane also improved the motor coordination of rats at 1 month after ischemia. The learning and memory functions as measured by performance of Y-maze and social recognition tasks in the survivors were not affected by the brain hypoxia-ischemia or isoflurane preconditioning. The expression of Bcl-2, a well-known antiapoptotic protein, in the hippocampus is increased after isoflurane exposure. This increase was reduced by the inhibitors of inducible nitric oxide synthase. Inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibition also abolished isoflurane preconditioning-induced neuroprotection.

高血压病患者动态脉压与左心室肥厚的关系

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between the left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and the ambulatory pulse pressure and aortic root dimension (AOD) in essential hypertensive patients. METHODS: We monitored the 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure and applied echocardiography in 107 essential hypertensive patients. Using the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) as an index in evaluating LVH, the patients were divided into 2 groups: 29 cases in the LVH group and 78 in the non-LVH group. RESULTS: The average levels of 24-hour pulse pressure, daytime pulse pressure, nighttime pulse pressure and AOD were significantly different between patients with LVH and without LVH (P < 0.05). Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that the changes in nighttime pulse pressure and AOD were closely related to LVMI (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The pulse pressure and AOD are important factors leading to LVH in patients with essential hypertension.

日本血吸虫酚氧化酶的组化定位研究

目的观察酚氧化酶(phenol oxidase,PO)在日本血吸虫成虫的组织学分布.方法酚氧化酶组化方法:将42 d虫龄的日本血吸虫活成虫置含25 mmol/L邻苯二酚的磷酸盐缓冲液(pH 6.8)中,37℃孵育30 min后,转移虫体至载玻片上,吸去虫体表面液体,将其中一部分虫体置Olym-pus显微镜下观察酚氧化酶在虫体的组织学分布.荧光组织化学方法:经上述过程处理后,在另一部分虫体上滴加2滴含0.05%戊巴比妥钠的PBS溶液,然后置Leica荧光显微镜下观察酚氧化酶在虫体的组织学分布.结果酶组织化学方法显示,日本血吸虫酚氧化酶仅分布于雌虫卵黄腺及子宫内虫卵卵壳表面,呈现棕褐色显色反应;雌虫卵巢和雄虫均未发现酚氧化酶活性.然而,荧光组织化学方法显示,酚氧化酶除主要分布于雌虫卵黄腺及子宫内虫卵卵壳表面,呈现强荧光外,还少量分布于雄虫体壁表层,呈现弱荧光反应.结论不仅日本血吸虫雌虫含有酚氧化酶活性,而且雄虫也含酚氧化酶活性,只不过其含量少、活性低.荧光组织化学方法能更灵敏地显示日本血吸虫酚氧化酶活性,更适用于日本血吸虫酚氧化酶的组织学定位.
