Effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride on damage to non-ventilated lung in pediatric patients undergoing one-lung ventilation / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride on the damage to the non-ventilated lung in the pediatric patients undergoing one-lung ventilation (OLV).Methods One hundred and twenty pediatric patients of both sexes,aged 2-6 yr,with body mass index of 17-24 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or lⅡ and New York Heart Association class Ⅰ or Ⅱ,undergoing elective lobectomy performed via video-assisted thoracoscope,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=60 each) using a random number tablecontrol group (group C) and penehyclidine hydrochloride group (group P).At 10 rmin before anesthesia induction,penehyclidine hydrochloride 0.05 mg/kg was injected intravenously in group P,and the equal volume of normal saline was given in group C.At 5 min after drug intervention (T0),immediately after onset of OLV (T1),at 60 min of OLV (T2),immediately after the end of OLV (T3),at the end of surgery (T4),and at 24 h after surgery (T5),venous blood samples were collected for determination of serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-o),interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-8 concentrations by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The specimens of normal lung tissues around the lung lobe to be resected were obtained at T1 and T3 for determination of the injured alveolus count (with a light microscope) and cell apoptosis (using TUNEL) and for examination of the ultrastructure of epithelial cells (with a transmission electron microscope).The injured alveolus rate (IAR) and apoptosis index (AI) were calculated.Results Compared to the value at T0,the IAR and AI were significantly increased at T3,the serum TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations were significantly increased at T2-5 (P＜0.05),and the pathological changes were obvious in the two groups.Compared to group C,the IAR and AI were significantly decreased at T3,the serum TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations were significantly decreased at T2-5 (P＜0.05),and the pathological changes were significantly reduced in group P.Conclusion Penehyclidine hydrochloride can attenuate the damage to the non-ventilated lung in the pediatric patients undergoing OLV,and the mechanism is probably related to inhibition of systemic inflammatory responses and cell apoptosis in lung tissues.
