RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the relationship between the change rate of regional cerebral ox-ygen saturation ( rSO2 ) and early postoperative cognitive function during laparoscopic surgery in elderly pa-tients. Methods Fifty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients, aged 65-80 yr, scheduled for elective laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer under general anesthesia, were enrolled in this study. rSO2 was recorded at 5 min before anesthesia induction ( T0 ) , 5 min after tra-cheal intubation ( T1 ) , 5 min after changing position ( T2 ) , 1 h after changing position ( T3 ) , 5 min after stopping pneumoperitoneum ( T4 ) , and 5 min after changing to supine position at the end of pneumoperito-neum ( T5 ) . The change rate of rSO2 was calculated at T3 . Mini-Mental State Examination scores were per-formed at 1 day before surgery and 3 days after surgery. The patients were divided into cognitive disorder group and non-cognitive disorder group. Results Compared with non-cognitive disorder group, rSO2 was significantly increased at T2-5 , and the change rate of rSO2 was enlarged in cognitive disorder group ( P<0. 05) . The change rate of intraoperative rSO2 was negatively correlated with Mini-Mental State Examination scores at 3 days after surgery (r=-0. 516, P<0. 01). Conclusion The increased change rate of rSO2 during laparoscopic surgery may be related to the development of early postoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the effect of oxycodone on intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and the role of autophagy.Methods Twenty-four healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 6-9 weeks,weighing 180-220 g,were divided into 4 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table method:sham group (group S),intestinal I/R group (group I/R),oxycodone group (group O) and oxycodone plus autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) group (group O+3-MA).Intestinal I/R was induced via clamping the superior mesenteric artery for 1 h,followed by 2-h reperfusion in all the groups except for group S.Oxycodone 0.5 mg/kg was injected via caudal vein at 15 min before ischemia in group O and group O+3-MA.3-MA 30 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 10 min before ischemia in group O+3-MA.Rats were gavaged with fluorescein-isothiocyanate-conjugated dextran (FITC-dextran) immediately before ischemia.Blood samples were collected from the cardiac apex at 2 h of reperfusion to detect the level of serum FITC-dextran.Blood samples were collected from the cardiac apex at 2 h of reperfusion to measure the concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) in serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Small intestinal tissues were obtained at 2 h of reperfusion for examination of the pathological changes and for determination of the expression of occludin,Beclin-1 and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) (by Western blot).Intestinal damage was assessed and scored according to Chiu.The ratio of LC3 Ⅱ expression to LC3 Ⅰ expression (LC3 Ⅱ / Ⅰ) was calculated.Results Compared with group S,the Chiu's score,levels of serum FITC-dextran,TNF-α and IL-1β and LC3 Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio were significantly increased,the expression of Beclin-1 was up-regulated,and the expression of occludin was down-regulated in group I/R (P<0.05).Compared with group I/R,the Chiu's score and levels of serum FITC-dextran,TNF-α and IL-1β were significantly decreased,LC3 Ⅱ / Ⅰ ratio was increased,and the expression of occludin and Beclin-1 was up-regulated in group O (P<0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group O+ 3-MA (P>0.05).Compared with group O,the Chiu's score and levels of serum FITC-dextran,TNF-α and IL-1β were significantly increased,LC3 Ⅱ / Ⅰ ratio was decreased,and the expression of occludin and Beclin-1 was down-regulated in group O + 3-MA (P< 0.05).Conclusion Oxycodone can ameliorate intestinal I/R injury,and the mechanism may be related to enhancing autophagy in intestinal tissues of rats.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the effect of oxycodone pretreatment on oxygen-glucose deprivation and restoration (OGD/R)-induced injury to small intestinal epithelial cells of rats and the role of different opioid receptors.Methods IEC-6 cells were divided into 5 groups (n=15 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),group OGD/R,oxycodone group (group O),μ opioid receptor antagonist CTOP plus oxycodone group (group CTOP+O) and κ opioid receptor antagonist BNI plus oxycodone group (group BNI+O).Cells were cultured for 8 h in normal culture atmosphere in group C.Cells were subjected to OGD for 4 h followed by restoration of oxygen-glucose supply in normal culture medium for 4 h in OGD/R,O,CTOP+O and BNI+O groups.Oxycodone at a final concentration of 1 μg/ml was added at 5 min before OGD/R in O,CTOP+O and BNI+O groups.CTOP and BNI at a final concentration of 5 μmol/L were added at 10 min before OGD/R in group CTOP+O and group BNI+O,respectively.Five holes in each group were selected at 8 h of OGD/R for determination of the cell viability (by MTT assay),lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) release rate (by colorimetry) and levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α),interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) in supernatant (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay).Results Compared with group C,the cell viability was significantly decreased,and the LDH release rate and levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and HMGB1 were increased in OGD/R,O,CTOP+Oand BNI+ O groups (P< 0.05).Compared with group OGD/R,the cell viability was significantly increased,and the LDH release rate and levels of TNF-o,IL-1β and HMGB1 were decreased in group O (P<0.05).Compared with group O,the cell viability was significantly decreased,and the LDH release rate and levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and HMGB1 were increased in CTOP+O and BNI+O groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Oxycodone pretreatment can mitigate OGD/R-induced injury to small intestinal epithelial cells of rats and the mechanism is related to activating μ and κ opioid receptors.

RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the effects of propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia on cognitive function and amyloid beta protein ( Aβ) deposition in hippocampi of aged mice. Methods Thirty?six SAMP8 mice, aged 6 months, weighing 29-32 g, were randomly assigned into 4 groups ( n=9 each) using a random number table: control group ( group C ) , propofol anesthesia group ( group P ) , sevoflurane anesthesia group (group S) and propofol plus sevoflurane anesthesia group (group PS). In group P, propofol 140 mg∕kg was injected intraperitoneally, when righting reflex occurred, additional propofol 70 mg∕kg was given, and when it occurred again, additional propofol 40 mg∕kg was given. Group S continuously inhaled 1% sevoflurane for 120 min. Group PS continuously inhaled 2% sevoflurane for 120 min, and when righting reflex occurred, additional propofol 40 mg∕kg was given. Anesthesia was maintained for 120 min in P, S and PS groups. Before anesthesia and at 7, 14 and 28 days after anesthesia, Morris water maze test was performed, and the escape latency was recorded. Hippocampi were obtained to determine the expression of Aβ using immuno?histochemistry. Results Compared with group C, the escape latency was significantly prolonged at 7 days after anesthesia, and the expression of Aβwas up?regulated at 7, 14 and 28 days after anesthesia in group S, and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in P and PS groups. Compared with the value at 7 days after anesthesia, the expression of Aβ was significantly down?regulated at 14 and 28 days after anesthesia in group S, and no significant change was found in the expression of Aβ at 14 and 28 days after anesthesia in C, P and PS groups. Conclusion Although sevoflurane anesthesia promotes Aβ deposition in hippocampi, it only causes short?term cognitive dysfunction, however, anesthesia with propofol or with propofol in combination with sevoflurane produces no influence in aged mice.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the effects of different head-down tilt (HDT) angles on respiratory mechanics and cerebral circulation during laparoscopic radical resection of rectal carcinoma in the patients.Methods Thirty patients of both sexes,aged 40-64 yr,of ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,with body mass index < 30 kg/m2,scheduled for elective laparoscopic radical resection of rectal carcinoma,were included in the study.Anesthesia was induced with midazolam,fentanyl,propofol and cis-atracurium and maintained with targetcontrolled infusion of propofol and remifentanil and cis-atracurium when needed.At 5 min after supine position,5 min after 30° HDT,5 min after 35° HDT,5 min after 40° HDT,and 30 min after pneumoperitoneum (T1-5),airway pressure (Paw),peak airway pressure (PIP),lung compliance (Cpat) and jugular bulb blood pressure (JBP) were recorded.Blood samples were taken from the radial artery and jugular bulb for blood gas analysis and arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2),partial pressure of carbon dioxide in artery (PaCO2),arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2),jugular bulb oxygen partial pressure (PjvO2),and jugular bulb venous saturation (SjvO2) were recorded at each time point mentioned above.Results Paw,PIP,MAP,PaCO2,JBP,PjvO2 and SjvO2 were significantly increased as compared with those obtained when the patients were in supine position,increased gradually with the increasing HDT angles,and decreased to the level obtained when the patients were in supine position at 30 min after pneumoperitoneum.Cpat and PaO2 were significantly decreased as compared with those obtained when the patients were in supine position decreased gradually with the decreasing HDT angles,and increased to the level obtained when the patients were in supine position at 30 min after pneumoperitoneum.Conclusion HDT-induced effects on respiratory mechanics and cerebral circulation increase with increasing angles during laparoscopic radical resection of rectal carcinoma; thus the optimum HDT angle is smaller than 40° for the patients undergoing this kind of surgery.
