Objective:To evaluate the role of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes in curcumin-induced reduction of sevoflurane-induced postoperative cognitive dysfunction in rats.Methods:Forty SPF healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 17-18 months, with body mass index of 580-600 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=10 each) by a random number table method: control group (C group), postoperative cognitive dysfunction group (P group), curcumin group (CU group), and curcumin+ NLRP3 inflammasome activator group (CN group). The rat model of postoperative cognitive dysfunction was prepared by inhaling 1.5% sevoflurane to explore the abdominal cavity. Curcumin suspension 300 mg/kg was given by intragastric administration in CU group and CN group, and the rats received intragastric administration of nidrisin sodium 5 mg/kg simultaneously in CN group, once a day for 6 consecutive days. Rats received the equal volume of normal saline instead in C group and P group. The frequency of crossing the original platform and time spent in the target quadrant were measured by the Morris water maze test. The histopathological changes of hippocampus were observed by HE staining, neuronal apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining, and the expression of NLRP3, Bcl-2 and Bax was detected by Western blot. Results:Compared with C group, the frequency of crossing the original platform was significantly reduced, the time spent in the target quadrant was shortened, the apoptosis rate of neurons was increased, and the expression of NLRP3 and Bax was up-regulated, and the expression of Bcl-2 was down-regulated in P group ( P<0.05). Compared with P group, the frequency of crossing the original platform was significantly increased, the time spent in the target quadrant was prolonged, the apoptosis rate of neurons was decreased, and the expression of NLRP3 and Bax was down-regulated, and the expression of Bcl-2 was up-regulated in CU group ( P<0.05). Compared with CU group, the frequency of crossing the original platform was significantly reduced, the time spent in the target quadrant was shortened, the apoptosis rate of neurons was increased, and the expression of NLRP3 and Bax was up-regulated, and the expression of Bcl-2 was down-regulated in CN group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The NLRP3 inflammasome is involved in curcumin-induced reduction of postoperative cognitive dysfunction in sevoflurane-anesthetized rats.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on pyroptosis during lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-320 g,were used in this study.The model of isolated lung perfusion was established using an IL-2 Isolated Perfused Rat or Guinea Pig Lung System after the rats were anesthetized.Thirty lungs in which an ex vivo lung perfusion model was successfully established were divided into 3 groups (n=10 each) by a random number table method:control group (C group),I/R group and dexmedetomidine group (DEX group).The lungs were continuously perfused with K-H solution for 150 min in C group.After 15 min of perfusion,lungs were subjected to 60-min suspension of ventilation and perfusion,followed by 75 min of reperfusion and ventilation to establish the model of lung I/R injury in I/R and DEX groups.In DEX group,dexmedetomidine 10 nmol/L was added to K-H solution at the beginning of reperfusion.Lung tissues were obtained for determina-tion of wet/dry weight ratio (W/D ratio) and for examination of pathological changes (with a light microscope) and ultrastructure (using an electron microscope),and the alveolar damage rate (IAR) was calculated.The expression of pyroptosis-related factors including NOD-like receptor family protein 3 (NLRP3),caspase-1,interleukin-1β (IL-1β),IL-18 and gasdermin D (GSDMD) protein and mRNA was detected by Western blot or by real-time polymerase chain reaction.Results Compared with C group,the W/D ratio and IAR in lung tissues were significantly increased,and the expression of NLRP3,caspase-1,IL-1β,IL-18 and GSDMD protein and mRNA was up-regulated in I/R and DEX groups (P＜0.05).Compared with I/R group,the W/D ratio and IAR in lung tissues were significantly decreased,the expression of NLRP3,caspase-1,IL-1β,IL-18 and GSDMD protein and mRNA was down-regulated (P＜0.05),and the pathological changes were significantly attenuated in DEX group.Conclusion The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine reduces isolated rat lung I/R injury may be related to inhibiting pyroptosis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of multimodal analgesia with diclofenac sodium on cognitive function following radical resection for colon cancer in elderly patients. Methods Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠorⅡpatients of either sex, aged 65-80 yr, weighing 45-85 kg, scheduled for elective open sigmoidectomy under general anesthesia, were divided into control group and test group by a random number table method with 30 patients in each group. In test group, diclofenac sodium suppository was administrated rectally before surgery and placed at about 2 to 3 cm above the anal dentate line, diclofenac sodium suppository 50 mg was given at 2 h before surgery and 4 h after surgery, followed by administration once every 12 h until 2 days after surgery. Patient-controlled intravenous analge-sia was performed after operation, dezocine 5 mg was intravenously injected when VAS score was more than 4 points within 48 h after surgery. The concentrations of serum interleukin-6 ( IL-6) , IL-8 and tumor nec-rosis factor-alpha ( TNF-α) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay before surgery ( T0 ) and at 2, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after surgery ( T1-5 ) . The postoperative requirement for rescue analgesia, post-operative analgesia satisfaction score, time of passing the first flatus and first postoperative off-bed time were recorded. Cognitive function was assessed at 1 day before surgery and 7 days after surgery, and the occur-rence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction was recorded. Results Compared with control group, the ser-um concentrations of IL-6 at T2-5 , IL-8 at T1-5 and TNF-αat T2-4 were significantly decreased, the require-ment for rescue analgesia and incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction were decreased, and the timeof passing the first flatus and first postoperative off-bed time were shortened in test group ( P<0. 05) . Con-clusion Diclofenac sodium for multimodal analgesia can improve cognitive function following radical resec-tion for colon cancer in elderly patients.
