Effects of butorphanol pretreatment on myocardial injury induced by limb ischemia/reperfusion / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of butorphanol pretreatment on myocardial injury induced by limb ischemia/reperfusion.Methods Forty patients with distal lower extremity orthopedic surgery (ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ) were divided into two groups by random digits table method with 20 cases eachbutorphanol group and control group.Epidural anesthesia was selected in all patients.In butorphanol group,patients were given butorphanol 0.04 mg/kg intravenously 15 min before tourniquet.In control group,equal volume of normal saline was infused at the same time.Blood samples were taken from jugular vein before tourniquet (T0),then 5 min(T1),2 h (T2),6 h (T3),12 h (T4) and 24 h (T5) after the second reperfusion of tourniquet.The serum creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB),cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were determined.Results Compared with those at T0,the serum C K-MB levels were increased at T2-T5,the serum cTnI,MDA,TNF-α levels were increased at T1-T5 in control group,and there were significant differences (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with those at T0,the serum CK-MB levels were increased at T3,T4,the serum TNF-α levels were increased at T1-T3,the serum cTnI levels were increased at T1-T5 in butorphanol group,and there were significant differences (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with those in control group,the serum CK-MB levels were decreased at T2-T5 [(20.2 ± 5.0) U/L vs.(35.3 ±6.8) U/L,(32.3 ±3.7) U/L vs.(48.6 ±8.5) U/L,(29.5 ±5.4) U/L vs.(51.5 ±8.0) U/L,(22.2 ±4.8) U/L vs.(33.7 ±6.7) U/L],the serum cTnI,TNF-α levels were decreased at T1-T5 [(0.158 ± 0.016) μg/L vs.(0.278 ±0.021) μg/L,(0.169 ±0.036) μg/L vs.(0.332 ± 0.062) μg/L,(0.357 ±0.049) μg/L vs.(0.623 ±0.083) μg/L,(0.178 ±0.045) μg/L vs.(0.383 ±0.059) μg/L,(0.138 ±0.016) μg/L vs.(0.263 ±0.023) μg/L; (1.63 ±0.13) μg/L vs.(2.12 ±0.08) μg/L,(1.69 ± 0.08) μ g/L vs.(2.28 ± 0.09) μ g/L,(1.63 ± 0.09) μ g/L vs.(2.25 ± 0.07) μ g/L,(1.23 ± 0.14) μμg/Lvs.(1.93±0.12) μg/L,(1.13±0.15) μμg/Lvs.(1.79±0.07) μμg/L],theserumMDAlevelswere decreased at T1-T4 [(4.82 ±0.53) nmol/L vs.(6.68 ±0.67) nmol/L,(4.99 ±0.61) nmol/L vs.(7.59 ±0.72) nmol/L,(5.02 ±0.43) nmol/L vs.(7.54 ±0.63) nmol/L,(4.52 ±0.55) nmol/L vs.(6.52 ±0.47) nmol/L] in butorphanol group,and there were significant differences (P ＜0.05).Conclusion Butorphanol pretreatment can improve the serum CK-MB,cTnI levels,and has a protective role for myocardial injury induced by limb ischemia/reperfusion.
