Effect of ozone on oxidative stress and energy metabolism change of blood from aortic dissection patients in vitro / 中国胸心血管外科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

@#Objective    To investigate the effect of ozone on oxidative stress and energy metabolism change of blood from aortic dissection (AD) patients for providing preliminary evidence of application of ozonated autohemotherapy (ozone-AHT) in AD patients. Methods    Twenty AD patients (16 males and 4 females with a mean age of 48.51±10.21 years) were consecutively included in the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from March 2016 to August 2016, and blood samples were collected from all participants and ozonized in vitro at different ozone concentrations (0 μg/ml, 40 μg/ml, 60 μg/ml, 80 μg/ml, 160 μg/ml). Malondialdehyde (MDA), red blood cells (RBCs) superoxide dismutase (SOD), Na+-K+-ATP, 2,3-bisphosphoglyceric acid (2,3-DPG) at different ozone concentrations were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results    In the control group (0 μg/ml), the content of postoperative MDA was significantly higher than that of preoperation (P<0.05). The contents of postoperative SOD, Na+-K+-ATP and 2,3-DPG were significantly lower than that of preoperation (P<0.05). The content of MDA at the concentrations of 40 μg/ml, 60 μg/ml, 80 μg/ml group increased after the operation (P>0.05), and the SOD, Na+-K+-ATP, 2,3-DPG decreased compared with the preoperation (P>0.05). But all the values were not statistically significant at the concentrations of 40 μg/ml, 80 μg/ml and 160 μg/ml respectively between preoperation and postoperation (P>0.05). Compared with other concentration groups, the content of preoperative and postoperative MDA   increased in the ozone group (160 μg/ml), and oppositely, the contents of preoperative and postoperative SOD, Na+-K+- ATP and 2,3-DPG decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion     The concentrations of 40 to 80 μg/ml of ozone can improve the antioxidant capacity of erythrocyte membrane, reduce oxidative stress in blood samples of AD patients and improve the energy metabolism of erythrocyte membranes, so the concentration range of ozone is safe and feasible for the ozone-AHT of perioperative AD.
