RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the relationship between the mechanism underlying docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-induced regulation of angiopoietin expression and Src-suppressed C kinase substrate (SSeCKS) in human brain vascular pericytes (HBVPs) subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation and restoration (OGD/R).Methods HBVPs were seeded in 96-well or in 6-well plates at a density of 2× 105 cells/ml and divided into 5 groups (n =18 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),OGD/R group,DHA group (group D),SSeCKS gene silencing group (group S) and SSeCKS gene silencing plus DHA group (group SD).The model of OGD/R injury was established as follows:the cells were subjected to O2-glucose deprivation for 24 h in glucose-and serum-free culture medium aerated with 94％ N2-5％ CO2-1％ O2 followed by restoration of O2-glucose supply for 6 h in high-glucose DMEM culture medium in normal atmosphere.DHA was added at 1 h before hypoxia with the final concentration of 40 μmol/L in group D.Small interfering RNA induced SSeCKS gene silencing in S and SD groups.Subsequently,DHA with the final concentration of 40 μmol/L was added at 1 h before hypoxia in group SD.At 6 h of reoxygenation,the cell survival rate was determined by CCK-8 assay,the amount of LDH released was detected using ELISA,and the expression of SSeCKS,angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) and Ang-2 was detected by Western blot.Results Compared with group C,the cell survival rate was significantly decreased,the amount of LDH released was increased,the expression of SSeCKS and Ang-1 was down-regulated,the expression of Ang-2 was up-regulated,and Ang-1/Ang-2 ratio was decreased in group OGD/R,and the expression of SSeCKS was down-regulated in group S (P＜0.05).Compared with group OGD/R,the cell survival rate was significantly increased,the amount of LDH released was decreased,the expression of SSeCKS and Ang-1 was up-regulated,the expression of Ang-2 was down-regulated,and Ang-1/Ang-2 ratio was increased in group D (P＜O.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group SD (P＞0.05).Compared with group D,the cell survival rate was significantly decreased,the amount of LDH released was increased,the expression of SSeCKS and Ang-1 was down-regulated,the expression of Ang-2 was up-regulated,and Ang-1/Ang-2 ratio was decreased in group SD (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which DHA increases the ratio of Ang-1/Ang-2 may be totally related to up-regulation of SSeCKS expression in HBVPs subjected to OGD/R.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the effects of docosahexaenoic acid ( DHA) on the expression of angiotensin?2 ( Ang?2) and vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) in rat brain microvascular endo?thelial cells (BMVECs) subjected to oxygen?glucose deprivation (OGD). Methods Primarily cultured rat BMVECs were divided into 3 groups ( n=18 each) using a random number table: control group ( group C) , OGD group and DHA group. The cells were cultured with glucose?free and serum?free DMEM culture medium in OGD and DHA groups. In group DHA, DHA 40μmol was added, and then the cells were ex?posed to 1%O2?5%CO2?94%N2 in an air?tight incubator. The cells were cultured in the normal glucose and normal oxygen conditions in group C. All the cells were cultured for 24 h. Cell apoptosis was detected using Annexin V∕propidium iodide flow cytometry assay, and the apoptosis rate was calculated. The concentra?tions of Ang?2, VEGF, prostaglandin E2 ( PGE2 ) and prostacyclin ( PGI2 ) in the supernatant of the cul?ture medium were determined by enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay. The expression of Ang?2 mRNA and VEGF mRNA in cells was detected by real?time polymerase chain reaction. The expression of cyclooxygen?ase?2 ( COX?2) protein in cells was detected by Western blot. Results Compared with group C, the ap? optosis rate and concentrations of Ang?2, VEGF, PGE2 and PGI2 in the supernatant were significantly in?creased, and the expression of Ang?2 mRNA, VEGF mRNA and COX?2 protein was significantly up?regu?lated in OGD and DHA groups (P<0.05). Compared with group OGD, the apoptosis rate and concentra?tions of Ang?2, VEGF, PGE2 and PGI2 in the supernatant were significantly decreased, and the expression of Ang?2 mRNA, VEGF mRNA and COX?2 protein was significantly down?regulated in group DHA ( P<0.05) . Conclusion DHA can inhibit the expression of Ang?2 and VEGF in rat brain BMVECs subjected to OGD and reduce cell apoptosis, and down?regulated expression of COX?2 protein is involved in the mecha?nism.
RESUMO
bjective To clarify the heart rate variability (HRV) changes in patients subjected to deliberate hypotension with alprostadil.Methods Eighty-six elderly patients scheduled for nasal endoscopic surgery in general anesthesia were divided into alprostadil group (group A) and nitroglycerin group (group N) with 43 cases each by random digits table.Hypotension was induced with alprostadil and nitroglycerin through continuous infusion respectively,and the mean arterial pressure (MAP) was reduced to about 25％-30％ of baseline MAP.The MAP,heart rate (HR),total power ( TP ),low frequency (LF),high frequency (HF),and LF/HF were continuously monitored and blood was taken for analysis of lactate (LAC) before deliberate hypotension (T0),at the time of dropping to target blood pressure (T1),at 5 and 30 min after deliberate hypotension (T2 and T3),stopping deliberate hypotersion (T4) and 30 min after recovery from hypotension (T5).Results HR at T1-T4 was faster than that at T0in group N(P ＜ 0.05),and faster than that in group A( P ＜ 0.05 ),HR at T5 was faster than that at T0 in group N( P ＜ 0.05 ),but HR was stable at T1-T5 in group A (P ＞ 0.05 ).There was no significant difference in LAC of group A and group N whether in interior group or between two groups (P＞ 0.05).TP,LF and HF at T1-T4 were lower than those at T0 in two groups ( P ＜ 0.05 ),HF at T1-T4 was higher in group A than that in group N(P ＜ 0.05 ) ; LF/HF was no change at T1-T4 compared with that at T0 in group A (P ＞ 0.05),but increased in group N (P ＜ 0.05 ) which was higher than that in group A at the same time ( P ＜ 0.05 ) ;TP,LF and HF was recovered at Ts in two groups,and HF at T5 in group A was higher than that in group N( P ＜ 0.05 ) ; LF/HF at T5 in group A maintained the level at T0,but decreased in group N and lower than that at T5 in group N(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Alprostadil for deliberate hypotension is more likely to maintain cardiac autonomic nerve balance that is helpful for perioperative security of elderly patients.
RESUMO
The disease incidence of aortic dissecting aneurysm showed an increasing tendency.Recently,the clinical application of endovascular stent-graft implantation received good results in treating aortic dissecting aneurysm,which is characterized by minimally invasive,safe,with high success rates.However,the chosen of anesthesia is still in dispute.Local anesthesia,intraspinal anesthesia and general anesthesia can be used in this operation.The investigation demonstrated that intubation general anesthesia is more security in this operation with less complication,which is conductive to controlling blood pressure and braking conditions.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the analeptic action of Xingnaojing injection(XNJI) in patients undergoing total intravenous anesthesia and the possible mechanism.METHODS: 60 patients undergoing selective abdominal operation with tracheal intubation(scored grade Ⅰ or grade Ⅱ using ASA score) were transferred to post-anesthctic ICU(PACU) after surgery and randomly divided into two groups of 30 each: X group(XNJI 0.5 mL?kg-1) and C group(control group).The X group received XNJI(0.5 mL?kg-1) by drip infusion within 10 minutes,while C group received same amount of normal saline.The vocal reaction recovery time,autonomous breath recovery time,extubation time and duration of PACU stay were recorded.The mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR),the concentrations of Epinephrine(E),and Norepinephrine(NE) and ?-endorphin(?-EP) in arterial blood were detected at 0,5,15,30 and 45 minutes before and after medication.RESULTS: No significant differences were noted for X group in hemodynamics parameters after medication as compared with before medication,but significant differences were noted for C group at 30 min and 45 min when compared with before medication or compared with X group at the same different time points.The vocal reaction recovery time,autonomous breath recovery time,extubation time and the duration of PACU stay were all significantly shorter in X group than in C group(P
