ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Xuanfei Zhisou prescription on the interleukin-17 （IL-17） signaling pathway in model rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD）. MethodA total of 60 Wistar rats were randomly divided into a blank group （10 rats） and a model group （50 rats）， and COPD model rats were established by tracheal infusion of lipopolysaccharide combined with passive fumigation. After modeling， the rats were divided into the model group， dexamethasone group， and high， medium， and low-dose Xuanfei Zhisou prescription groups （3.6， 1.8， 0.9 g·kg-1·d-1） according to the random number table. Rats in the blank group and model group were given normal saline of 10 mL·kg-1·d-1 by gavage administration， and the intervention groups of Xuanfei Zhisou prescription were given corresponding drugs. Rats in the dexamethasone group were given dexamethasone of 2.57×10-4 g·kg-1·d-1 for 28 days. The level of pulmonary function indexes in rats was measured by a pulmonary function detector. The contents of interleukin-6 （IL-6）， interleukin-8 （IL-8）， IL-17， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The positive expressions of IL-17A， IL-17RA， nuclear factor-κB activator 1 （Act1）， tumor necrosis factor-associated factor 6 （TRAF6）， p-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase （p-p38 MAPK）， nuclear factor-κB p65 （NF-κB p65）， and phosphorylation were detected by immunohistochemistry （IHC）. The protein expression levels of IL-17A， IL-17RA， Act1， and TRAF6 in the lung tissue were detected by Western blot. The mRNA expressions of IL-17A， IL-17RA， Act1， and TRAF6 in the lung tissue were detected by Real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. ResultCompared with the blank group， the serum contents of IL-6， IL-8， IL-17， IL-1β， and TNF-α in the model group were significantly increased （P<0.05）， and the flow rate and volume indexes of pulmonary function in the model group were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， while the time indexes and other indexes were significantly increased （P<0.05）. The mRNA and protein expression levels of IL-17A， IL-17RA， Act1， and TRAF6 in pulmonary tissue and the positive expressions of downstream NF-κB p65， p-NF-κB p65， and p-p38 MAPK were increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the levels of IL-6， IL-8， IL-17， IL-1β， and TNF-α in the serum of all treatment groups were decreased to varying degrees （P<0.05）， and the indexes of pulmonary function were improved to different degrees （P<0.05）. The mRNA and protein levels of IL-17A， IL-17RA， Act1， and TRAF6 and the positive expression of downstream NF-κB p65， p-NF-κB p65， and p-p38 MAPK in high and medium-dose Xuanfei Zhisou prescription groups were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. ConclusionXuanfei Zhisou prescription can effectively resist inflammation of COPD rats. The mechanism may be related to down-regulating the protein expression of IL-17A， IL-17RA， Act1， and TRAF6， inhibiting downstream NF-κB and p38 MAPK signaling pathways， and reducing the release of IL-6， IL-8， TNF-α， IL-17， and IL-1β， thus reducing the airway inflammation response.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the role of depth of anesthesia monitoring in predicting postoperative cognitive impairment in elderly cancer patients.Methods:The clinical data of 70 elderly cancer patients in Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital from February 2020 to February 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the postoperative cognitive function, they were divided into the postoperative cognitive impairment group (20 cases) and the normal postoperative cognitive function group (50 cases). Statistical analyses of the mini mental state examination (MMSE) score of cognitive function, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and bispectral index score (BIS) before anesthesia (T 0), before skin incision (T 1), 1 h after skin incision (T 2), 2 h after skin incision (T 3), at the completion of surgery (T 4), and at the time point of extubation (T 5), as well as the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and central nervous specific protein (S100-β) at 1 d before operation, immediately after surgery and 1 d after surgery between the two groups were performed. Results:The MMSE score of patients in the postoperative cognitive impairment group was lower than that in the normal postoperative cognitive function group [(21±3) points compared with (25±5) points], and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t = 2.98, P < 0.05). The MAP of the two groups at T 1, T 2, T 3, T 4, and T 5 gradually increased (both P < 0.05), the MAP at T 1, T 2, T 3, T 4 was lower than that at T 0 (all P < 0.05), and the MAP at T 5 was higher than that at T 0 (both P < 0.05). There were no statistical differences in MAP between the two groups at T 0, T 1, T 2, T 3, T 4, and T 5 (all P > 0.05). BIS values of the two groups at T 0, T 1, T 2, and T 3 gradually decreased (both P < 0.05), BIS values at T 4 and T 5 gradually increased (both P < 0.05). At T 2 and T 3, BIS value of the postoperative cognitive impairment group was lower than that of the normal postoperative cognitive function group (both P < 0.05). The duration of BIS < 45 in the postoperative cognitive impairment group was longer than that in the normal postoperative cognitive function group [(44.1±7.7) min than (12.6±2.2) min], and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t = 26.68, P < 0.001). The levels of IL-6 and S100-β in the two groups were gradually increased 1 d before surgery, immediately after surgery and 1 d after surgery (both P < 0.05). On the 1st day after surgery, the S100-β level in the postoperative cognitive impairment group was higher than that in the normal postoperative cognitive function group ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:The application of depth of anesthesia monitoring is of high value in predicting postoperative cognitive impairment in elderly cancer patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To analyze the anesthetic effect of dexmedetomidine in laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy and its influence on hemodynamics, visual analogue scale (VAS) and Ramsay sedation score after operation.@*Methods@#A total of 86 patients who received laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy under general intravenous anesthesia in Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital from March 2017 to June 2017 were enrolled, and all the patients were divided into two groups by using random number table method. The observation group (43 cases) was intravenously injected with dexmedetomidine (0.6 μg/kg) before induction of general anesthesia, and the dose was changed to 0.4 μg/kg after 15 min with drug withdrawal till 30 minutes before surgery, the control group (43 cases) was given an equal volume of 0.9% normal saline. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate change before anesthetic induction (T1), tracheal intubation time (T2), after intubation (T3), section time (T4) and the immediate time after intubation (T5) were compared between the two groups. The VAS and Ramsay scores at 1 h and 4 h after surgery and the intraoperative doses of anesthesia maintenance drugs were also compared between the two groups.@*Results@#The heart rate and MAP of the observation group were lower than those of the control group at the time of T1, T3-T5, the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The VAS and Ramsay scores of the observation group were better than those of the control group at 1 h and 4 h after operation, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The intraoperative doses of propofol and remifentanil in the observation group were (964±251) mg and (3.1±0.8) mg, respectively, which were less than those in the control group [(1 485±425) mg and (4.8±0.8) mg], the differences were statistically significant (t = 9.913, P < 0.01; t = 9.834, P < 0.01).@*Conclusion@#Dexmedetomidine can reduce the stress response of patients with laparoscopic D2 radical anesthesia, enhance the sedative effect, and reduce the dosage of propofol and remifentanil, therefore, it has high clinical application value.
