ABSTRACT

Objective: To study the protective effect of coenzyme Q_10 on red blood cell membrane and its immunity in patient during extracorporeal circulation. Method: Twenty patients under extracorporeal circulation about 30 minutes were randomly divided into control group and coenzyme Q_10 group (n=10). Coenzyme Q_10 2mg/kg was added to the priming fluid in coenzyme Q_10 group. Plasma levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), free hemoglobin (FHb), immune adhe sion ability and immune compound of red blood cell membrane were measured before extracorporeal circulation, 15 and 30 minutes after beginning of cardiopulmonary bypass, and on first day morning after operation. Result; All different periods after beginning of cardiopulmonary bypass in coenzyme Q_10, group, MDA and FHb levels were lower and im mune adhesion ability was higher than those of control group. Conclusion: Coenzyme Q_10 may protect red blood cell membrane and its immunity of patient during extracorporeal circulation.
