瑞芬太尼对肝硬化大鼠肝脏缺血再灌注损伤的影响

目的 探讨瑞芬太尼对肝硬化大鼠肝脏缺血再灌注损伤的影响.方法 成年健康雄性SD大鼠30只,体重260～300 g,采用随机数字表法,将其随机分为3组(n=10):肝硬化组(C组)、肝硬化+肝缺血再灌注组(I/R组)和瑞芬太尼组(R组).C组、I/R组和R组采用四因素综合法制备大鼠肝硬化模型,I/R组和R组在肝硬化模型制备成功后1周制备大鼠70％肝脏缺血再灌注模型,R组于缺血前10 min开始静脉输注瑞芬太尼1μg·kg-1·min-至再灌注结束.于再灌注4h时取静脉血样和肝组织,测定血清ALT和AST活性、肝细胞Bcl-2和Bax表达及肝细胞凋亡情况,计算细胞凋亡指数,光镜下观察肝组织病理学结果.结果 与C组比较,I/R组血清ALT和AST的活性升高,肝细胞Bcl-2表达下调,Bax表达上调,细胞凋亡指数升高(P＜0.05)；与I/R组比较,R组血清ALT和AST的活性降低,肝细胞Bcl-2表达上调,Bax表达下调,细胞凋亡指数降低(P＜0.05).R组肝组织病理学损伤轻于I/R组.结论 瑞芬太尼可减轻肝硬化大鼠肝脏缺血再灌注损伤,其机制与平衡肝细胞Bcl-2与Bax表达而抑制肝细胞凋亡有关.

Effect of remifentanil on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats with liver cirrhosis

Objective To investigate the effect of remifentanil on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats with liver cirrhosis.Methods Thirty male SD rats weighing 260-300 g were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =10 each):group liver cirrhosis (group C); group liver cirrhosis + hepatic I/R (group I/R) and group remifentanil (group R).Liver cirrhosis was produced in all animals in the 3 goups.I/R injury was induced by 20 min occlusion of the hepatic artery and portal vein entering the middle and left lobes of the liver followed by 4 h reperfusion at 1 week after establishment of hepatic cirrhosis in I/R and R groups.In group R remifentanil was infused iv at 1 μg·kg-1 ·min-1 starting from 10 min before ischemia until the end of 4 h reperfusion.Venous blood samples were taken from inferior vena cava at the end of 4 h reperfusion for measurement of serum ALT and AST activities.The animals were then sacrificed and liver specimens were taken from middle lobe for determination of Bcl-2 and Bax expression (by immuno-histochemistry) and hepatocyte apoptosis (by TUNEL) and microscopic examination.Apoptosis index (percentage of apoptotic cells) was calculated.Results I/R significantly increased serum ALT and AST activities,Bax expression and apoptosis index and decreased Bcl-2 expression in group I/R as compared with group C.Remifentanil significantly attenuated the I/R-induced changes in serum ALT and AST activities,Bax and Bcl-2 expression and apoptosis in group R as compared with group I/R.Remifentanil also ameliorated I/R-induced liver damage.Conclusion Remifentanil can auenuate hepatic I/R injury in rats with liver cirrhosis by up-regulating Bcl-2 expression and down-regulating Bax expression and inhibiting apoptosis.
