Changes in status of macrophages during non-ventilated lung injury in patients undergoing long-time one-lung ventilation / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the changes in the status of macrophages during the non-ventilated lung injury in the patients undergoing long-time one-lung ventilation (OLV).Methods Thirty patients of both sexes,aged 35-64 yr,weighing 50-80 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective pulmonary lobectomy for lung cancer,were divided into 2 groups (n=15 each) according to the time of OLVshort-time OLV group (＜30 min,group S) and long-time OLV group (＞2 h,group L).Anesthesia was routinely induced and maintained.Normal lung tissues around the cancer tissues from the lobe of the lung excised were obtained for microscopic examination of pathologic changes which were scored.The activated macrophages (CD68 positive),polarized M1 macrophages (CD86 positive) and polarized M2 macrophages (CD206 positive) in lung tissues were detected using immunofluorescence.The ratio of CD86 positive cells to CD206 positive cells was calculated.Results Compared with group S,lung injury scores on the non-ventilated side were significantly increased,the number of CD68,CD86 and CD206 positive cells in lung tissues was increased,and the ratio of CD86 positive cells to CD206 positive cells was increased in group L (P＜0.05).Conclusion Long-time OLV (＞2 h) can result in increased number of activated macrophages,especially the polarized M1 macrophages,which may be one of the mechanisms underlying lung injury on the non-ventilated side.
