RESUMEN
Objective To observe the serum concentration of S100βprotein (S100β)and neuron specific enolase (NSE)in patients undergoing supratentorial tumor resection with ulinastatin treat-ment.Methods Twenty-four patients with supratentorial tumor resection,aged 18-65 years,ASA Ⅰor Ⅱ,were randomly divided into the control group (group A,n =12)and ulinastatin group (group U,n =12).Patients in group U received ulinastatin (2 kU/kg)at the beginning of the surgery,with the continuous dose of 1 kU·kg-1 ·h-1 till the end of the operation.Group A received equivalent volume of saline solution as the vehicle control.Blood samples were taken from the artery and jugular venous bulb before induction of anesthesia (T1 ),skin incision (T2 ),1 h after dura openning (T3 ),at the closure of dura (T4 ),at the end of operation (T5 )and 24 h after operation (T6 )to analyze the concentration of S100β and NSE.The concentration of S100β and NSE were determined by ELISA. Results The concentration of serum S100β and NSE increased more significantly higher at T3-T6 in group A than group U (P <0.01).The concentration of serum S100βand NSE in group U were lower than those in group A at T3-T5 (P < 0.01 ).Conclusion Ulinastatin reduces the concentration of serum S100βand NSE during surgery,indicating it alleviates brain injury during supratentorial tumor resection.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the effect of Astragalus injection on serum SOD and MDA in patients during supratentorial tumor resection. Methods Twenty-four patients with ASAⅠorⅡ degree, aged 20~55 years old, undergoing supratentorial tumor resection were randomized into the control group (group C) and the Astragalus group (group R), with 12 cases in each group. Patients in group R received 250 mL 0.9% sodium chloride in addition with 20 mL Astragalus injection. Patients in group C received the same amount of 0.9%sodium chloride. Blood samples were taken from jugular venous bulb before induction of anesthesia (T1), intubation (T2), open dura instantly (T3), 1 h after the dura opened (T4), 24 h after the dura opened (T5), and 48 h after the dura opened (T6). The levels of serum SOD and MDA were determined. Results The serum SOD in both group R and group C was lower at T3~6 than that at T1 , but the serum SOD in group R reduced significantly compared with group C (P < 0.05); The serum MDA in both group R and group C at T4~6 was higher than that at T1, but the serum MDA in group R increased significantly compared with group C (P <0.05). Conclusion Astragalus injection can enhance the serum SOD activity and reduce MDA output in patients during supratentorial tumor resection.
