Effects of propofol and etomidate on inflammation and oxidative stress in septic mice / 临床麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effects of propofol and etomidate on inflammation and ox-idative stress in septic mice.Methods Sixty-four male adult BALB/c mice were randomly divided into four groupsnormal control group (N),sepsis group (S),propofol treatment group (P)and etomid-ate treatment group (E).The septic mice model was established by lipopolysaccharide (LPS,20 mg/kg)intraperitoneal injection,and propofol (60 mg/kg)or etomidate (10 mg/kg)was injected in the abdominal cavity at 0.5 h after LPS injection.Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6)concentrations and in-terleukin-10 (IL-10)concentrations were measured at 2 h and 6 h after LPS injection;malondialde-hyde (MDA)content of lung,liver and kidney tissue was measured at 6 h after LPS injection. Results Compared with group N,serum IL-6 concentrations increased significantly (P <0.05),and IL-10 concentrations decreased significantly (P <0.05)at 2 h and 6 h after LPS injection in group S;MDA content of lung,liver,kidney increased significantly (P <0.05 )at 6 h after LPS injection in group S;Compared with group S,serum IL-6 concentrations decreased significantly (P <0.05),and IL-10 concentrations increased significantly (P < 0.05 )at 2 h and 6 h after LPS injection in both group P and E;MDA content of lung,liver,kidney decreased significantly (P <0.05 )at 6 h after LPS injection in group E,but only MDA content of lung decreased significantly (P <0.05)at 6 h af-ter LPS injection in group P;Compared with group P,serum IL-6 concentrations was significantly lower (P <0.05),and IL-10 concentrations was significantly higher (P <0.05)at 2 h and 6 h after LPS injection in group E;MDA content of lung,liver,kidney was significantly lower (P <0.05)at 6 h after LPS injection in group E.Conclusion Both propofol and etomidate injected in the abdominal cavity can reduce injury of inflammatory and oxidative stress in septic mice induced by LPS,and the effect of etomidate is more significant.
