Résumé
Objective To investigate the effects of anaesthetic concentration of sevoflurane on TM3 mouse leydig cell viability.Methods TM3 mouse leydig cells were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n =24 dishes each):control group (group C),2％ and 5％ sevoflurane groups (groups SEV1 and SEV2 ).The cells were collected after being exposed to sevoflurane or 95 ％ room air + 5 ％ CO2 for 2,4 or 6 h (T1-3) for microscopic examination with optical binocular inverted microscope.The number of live cells was counted by using cell counting kit8.Gene chips were used to indentify differentially expressed genes between group C and group SEV2 after being exposed to air and 5 ％ sevoflurane for 6 h respectively.Results The leydig cell viability was significantly decreased at T3 in group SEV2 as compared with groups C and SEV1.Morphological changes were found only in group SEV2.A total of 45 genes were identified to be differentially expressed in group SEV2 as compared with group C.The level of expression of prostaglandin-endoperoxidase synthase 2 gene (Ptgs2),chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2(CCL2) gene and dual specificity phosphatase1 (Dusp1) gene increased by at least 4 times in group SEV2.Conclusion Sevoflurane can inhibit the cell viability of TM3 mouse leydig cell in concentration dependent manner through abnormal expression of Ptgs2,CCL2 and Dusp1 genes.
Résumé
Objective To investigate the effects of inhalation anesthetics on human sperm motility and capacitation in vitro. Methods Sperm samples were obtained from normal adults and prepared with discontinuous percoll gradient centrifugation technique. The samples were incubated for 5 h in an airtight glass container filledwith 5% CO2-95% air at 37 ℃ with or without sevoflurane (SEV 2%, 4% ) or isoflurane (ISO 1.1%, 2.2% ).Then human sperm motility was examined in vitro at 37℃ and analyzed by the computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA), including sperm motility (a + b)%, curvilinear velocity (VCL), straight line velocity (VSL), averagepath velocity (VAP) and amplitude of lateral head displacement (ALH). The capacitation effect was assessed by using the chlortetracycline (CTC) staining and phase-contract microscopy. Results 2% and 4% SEV significantly reduced (a + b)% , VCL, VSL and VAP in a dose-dependent manner, while only 4% SEV significantly decreased ALH and the capacitation ability of the sperm compared with control group. 2.2% ISO significantly decreased ( a + b)%, VCL, VSL and VAP compared with control and 1.1% ISO group. The capacitation ability of the sperm was significantly decreased by 1.1% and 2.2% ISO as compared with control group. Conclusion Sevoflurane and isoflurane have significant inhibitory effects on human sperm motility and capacitation in a dose-dependent manner. Sevoflurane has stronger inhibitory effect than isoflurane.

Objective To investigate rite effects of loag-term exposure to low-level sevoflurane on reproductive function in mice.Method F0ny male ICR mice,aged 60 d,weighlag 20-25 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=10 each):control group received no sevoflunme(C);group S1-3 were exposed to 0.003%.0.01% and 0.03% sevoflurane 2 h per day for 5 consecutive days per week for 8 weeks respectively. The mice were then sacrificed at the end of the 8 weeks.The testes and epididymis were emoved and sampled for determination of the activities of total lactic dehydregenase(LDH)and lactic dehydrogenase-X(LDH-X),and the motility rate,amount,and aberration rate of sperm.Testicular uhrastructure were observed by transmission electron microscopy.Results The sperm motifity nne were significantly lower.the sperm aberration rate higher and the activity of LDH-X lower in group S3 than in group C(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in the above parametem between group SI and group S2(P>0.05).The pathology changed of testes occurred only in group S3 among the 3 groups.Conclusion Long-term exposure to 0.03% sevoflurane can result in the abnormality of the reproductive function in male mice but exposure to≤0.01%sevoflurane dose not.
