Effects of nicorandil on lung injury induced by collapse / 临床麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects and possible mechanisms of nicorandil on lung injury of the collapsed lung in one-lung ventilation.Methods Twenty-four clean Japanese big-ear rabbits were randomly divided into sham group (group S) (two-lung ventilation + thoracotomy),negative control group (group C) (one-lung ventilation + thoracotomy + saline),nicorandil group (group N) (one-lung ventilation+thoracotomy+nicorandil) and antagonist group (group J) (onelung ventilation+ thoracotomy+ nicorandil+ glyburide) equally.Mechanical ventilation was implemented through self-made double-lumen endotracheal tube after intravenous induction through ear marginal vein.Intravenous maintenance medicine was infused by trace injection pump after anesthesia induction.Thoracic surgery was simulated through one-lung or two-lung ventilation determined by auscultation,bubble test and direct observation.Then wet and dry weight ratio (W/D) and content of MDA were measured after non-ventilatory lung was processed and preserved.The expression of Akt,p-Akt and NF-κB protein in non-ventilatory lung tissue were detected by Western-blot in all groups.Results In respects of W/D and content of MDA,the other three groups had significant differences compared with group S (P ＜ 0.05).It was significantly lower in group N than in group C (P ＜0.05),and it was significantly higher in group J than in group N (P＜0.05).The expressions of pAkt protein and p-Akt/Akt in group N were significantly higher than those in group S and group C (P＜0.05).Those of group J were significantly lower than group N (P＜0.05).Compared with group S,the expression of NF-κB protein in group C was significantly higher (P＜0.05).That of group N was significantly lower than that of group C (P＜0.05).But that in group J was higher than that in group N (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Nicorandil has a protective effect on the collapse and inflation of non-ventilatory lung in rabbits under one-lung ventilation,acting on mitoKATP through PI3K/Akt,and down-regulating NF-κB to reduce IR-induced lung injury.
