RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the role of the SIRT1/FoxO1 signaling pathway in trilobatin-induced reduction of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods:Eighty clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 230-280 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=20 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (group S), cerebral I/R group (group CIR), trilobatin+ cerebral I/R group (group T) and trilobatin+ cerebral I/R+ SIRT1/FoxO1 signaling pathway inhibitor EX527 group (group E). The model of focal cerebral I/R injury was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion in anesthetized animals. Trilobatin 15 mg/kg was given by gavage twice a day for 3 consecutive days starting from 3 days before ischemia in T and E groups. EX527 5 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected before each gavage in group E. Modified Longa scoring scale was used to assess neurological function at 24 h of reperfusion, then the rats were sacrificed and whole brain tissues were obtained for determination of cerebral infarct size (using TTC staining), apoptosis rate and level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the hippocampus (by flow cytometry), expression of SIRT1 and acetylated FOXO1 (Ac-FOXO1) (by Western blot) and contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and for microscopic examination of pathological changes in the hippocampal CAI area after HE staining. Results:Compared with group S, Longa score, cerebral infarct size, apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons, and levels of ROS and MDA were significantly increased, the content of SOD was decreased, the expression of SIRT1 was down-regulated, and the expression of Ac-FOXO1 was up-regulated in group CIR ( P<0.05). Compared with group CIR, Longa score, cerebral infarct size, apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons, and levels of ROS and MDA were significantly decreased, the content of SOD was increased, the expression of SIRT1 was up-regulated, and the expression of Ac-FOXO1 was down-regulated in group T ( P<0.05). Compared with group T, Longa score, cerebral infarct size, apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons, and levels of ROS and MDA were significantly increased, the content of SOD was decreased, the expression of SIRT1 was down-regulated, and the expression of Ac-FOXO1 was up-regulated in group E ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Trilobatin may inhibit oxidative stress responses and neuronal apoptosis in hippocampi by activating the SIRT1/FoxO1 signaling pathway, thus alleviating cerebral I/R injury in rats.
RESUMO
Objective To compare the efficacy of femoral triangle versus adductor canal approach to saphenous nerve block for postoperative analgesia in the patients undergoing knee arthroplasty.Methods Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,aged 53-68yr,scheduled for elective total knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia,were assigned into 2 groups (n=30 each) using a random number table method:femoral triangle approach to saphenous nerve block group (group F) and adductor canal approach to saphenous nerve block group (group A).Femoral triangle and adductor canal approach to saphenous nerve block was performed by injecting 0.5％ ropivacaine 20 ml in group F and group A,respectively.Patient-controlled saphenous nerve block analgesia was used in two groups,and the analgesic pump solution contained 1％ ropivacaine 400 mg diluted to 160 ml in 0.9％ sodium chloride injection.The analgesic pump was set up with a 5 ml bolus dose,a 30-main lockout interval and background infusion at a rate of 5 ml/h,and analgesia lasted until 72 h after operation.When visual analog scale score ＞ 4 and pain was not relived after 30-min pressing by patients,pethidine hydrochloride 100 mg was intramuscularly injected as rescue analgesic.The muscle strength of quadriceps femoris was assessed by manual muscle test at 4,8,24,48 and 72 h after operation.The patient's satisfaction score was assessed and recorded at 72 h after operation.Rescue analgesia and development of adverse reactions (local anesthetic intoxication,itching,dizziness,urinary retention,nausea and vomiting) were recorded within 72 h after operation.Results Compared with group F,the muscle strength of quadriceps femoris was significantly increased at 4,8 and 24 h after operation,the rate of postoperative rescue analgesia was decreased (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in patient's satisfaction score or incidence of adverse reactions in group A (P＞0.05).Conclusion Adductor canal approach to saphenous nerve block provides better efficacy for postoperative analgesia than femoral triangle approach to saphenous nerve block in the patients undergoing knee arthroplasty.
