Protective effect of dexmedetomidine on intestinal mucosal barrier function in rats after cardiopulmonary bypass

Cardiopulmonary bypass can result in damage to the intestines, leading to the occurrence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Dexmedetomidine is reported to confer anti-inflammatory properties. Here, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the intestinal mucosa barrier damage in a rat model of cardiopulmonary bypass. It was observed that cardiopulmonary bypass greatly decreased the levels of hemodynamic parameters than SHAM group, whereas dexmedetomidine pretreatment in a cardiopulmonary bypass model rat prevented this reduction. Also, it showed that compared with control animals, cardiopulmonary bypass caused obvious mucosal damage, which was attenuated in dexmedetomidine + cardiopulmonary bypass group. The above findings were in line with that of dexmedetomidine pretreatment, which increased the expression of tight junction proteins, but it decreased the levels of DAO, D-LA, FABP2, and endotoxin. Moreover, the results demonstrated that due to pre-administration of dexmedetomidine, the level of pro-inflammatory factors was decreased, while the level of anti-inflammatory cytokine was increased. Also, it showed that dexmedetomidine suppressed TLR4/JAK2/STAT3 pathway that was activated by cardiopulmonary bypass. Together, these results revealed that dexmedetomidine pretreatment relieves intestinal microcirculation, attenuates intestinal damage, and inhibits the inflammatory response of cardiopulmonary bypass model rats, demonstrating that in CPB-induced damage of intestinal mucosal barrier function, dexmedetomidine pretreatment plays a protective role by inactivating TLR4/JAK2/STAT3-mediated inflammatory pathway.     

Pathways to complement activation during cardiopulmonary bypass.

Complement activation was assessed in 34 patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. Arterial concentrations of complement fragments Ba and C3d rose in all patients, the increase in Ba preceding that of C3d. At the same time as complement fragments were being generated the arterial neutrophil count fell. These findings suggest (a) that complement activation is initiated by the alternative pathway during cardiopulmonary bypass and (b) that complement activation mediates loss of neutrophils during bypass. Complement mediated loss of neutrophils during the analogous setting of haemodialysis is the result of leucosequestration in the pulmonary vasculature. During cardiopulmonary bypass the lungs are out of circuit, so that activated leucocytes may sequester in other target organs. This may be an aetiological factor in the multi-organ failure occasionally seen after uneventful cardiopulmonary bypass.     

大鼠体外循环模型的建立及改进

目的对现有大鼠体外循环模型予以改进,降低模型复制难度,并使之更适合用于研究体外循环对肺功能的影响。方法成年雄性SD大鼠16只,体重300～350g,各8只分别用于建模和供血。经右颈静脉、左股静脉引流,右股动脉人工灌注建立体外循环,血气分析监测内环境变化。实验过程中,保留大鼠自主呼吸,不进行机械通气。结果成功建成8只大鼠体外循环模型并按计划顺利脱离人工循环。体外循环期间转流量为70～80mL/（kg·min）,血流动力学监测和血气分析结果基本正常。结论进一步简化了建立大鼠体外循环模型的操作,最显著的改进之处在于避免了机械通气对大鼠肺功能潜在的不良效应,从而更加适合用于研究体外循环对肺功能的影响。     

Effect of 1-(chloromethyl)silatrane on the alteration of the blood elements during extracorporeal circulation

The damaging effect of cardiopulmonary bypass on blood elements and the possibility of its correction with 1-(chloromethyl) silatrane have been investigated. Cardiopulmonary bypass is a powerful damaging factor producing a wide range of effects including the activation of lipid peroxidation, reduction of erythrocyte membrane resistance to ultra-sound, destruction of blood elements and appearance of hemoglobin in the plasma (hemolysis). A possible mechanism of cardiopulmonary bypass damaging effect on blood elements is suggested. The use of 1-(chloromethyl)silatrane drastically increases the resistance of blood element membranes to injury, which seems promising for the drug application during cardiopulmonary bypass.     

Changes in plasma atrial natriuretic peptide--immunoreactivity in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft placements

Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide immunoreactivity (IrANP) was measured before, during, and after cardiopulmonary bypass for coronary artery bypass graft placement. Eight subjects scheduled for elective operation had in the premedicated preoperative state slightly elevated IrANP compared to controls. Neither induction of anesthesia with a high dose narcotic/non-depolarising relaxant/diazepam technique nor cardiopulmonary bypass changed IrANP significantly. Mixed venous and arterial IrANP increased immediately after discontinuing bypass, and remained elevated 1 h later. Because ANPs affect peripheral resistance as well as urinary sodium loss, the post-bypass elevations in these peptides may contribute to cardiovascular and diuretic effects after cardiopulmonary bypass.     

围体外循环期血小板保护的研究进展

在体外循环过程中,血小板可经各种途径被激活,导致α-颗粒释放,发生粘附、聚集、收缩、释放等反应,导致术后血小板数量和质量的下降。通过在围体外循环期使用某些药物可对血小板进行功能性保护,而血小板分离技术可使血小板避免体外循环的打击,得到数量和功能的双重保护。本文将就体外循环期间血小板保护的研究进展作一综述。

Anesthetic and supportive management during experimental pulsatile flow perfusion studies in calves

The purpose of this study was to determine the factors influencing successful experimental cardiopulmonary bypass studies using pulsatile flow perfusion and the medications and methodology necessary to produce successful bypass in calves. In six calves showing no cardiopulmonary pathology prior to bypass procedures, successful anesthesia and surgical intervention was accomplished. Animals were maintained on 5 hours of pulsatile flow bypass perfusion. Successful recovery from the procedures was accomplished. In two calves with pre-existing pulmonary pathology, anesthetic and surgical intervention was accomplished with the utilization of extensive anesthetic management and cardiac supportive medications until the animals could be initiated into 5 hours of pulsatile flow bypass perfusion, in spite of major pulmonary dysfunction. In these two animals, attempts to resuscitate upon termination of pulsatile flow perfusion were unsuccessful due to pre-existing excessive lesions in the lungs. This study shows a contrast between complete success of a pulsatile flow system in normal subjects versus the ultimate failure in experimental animals with pre-existing pulmonary pathology. The inability of experimental calves with a diseased lung to resume spontaneous cardiopulmonary function after the challenges of thoracic intervention indicates the unsuitability of animals with marked pre-existing pulmonary disease status for use in cardiopulmonary bypass studies.

Surgical removal of duct occluder device under mild hypothermia without cardiopulmonary bypass

Because the use of percutaneous intervention is increasing for the closure of the patent ductus arteriosus, the procedure-related complications are also on rise, with migration of the device being most common. The routine practice is to remove the migrated duct occluder device under cardiopulmonary bypass. Amplatzer duct occluder used in a 4-month-old infant dislodged into the descending thoracic aorta. It was removed by the posterolateral thoracotomy under mild hypothermia through juxtaductal aortotomy between the aortic cross-clamps. The use of cardiopulmonary bypass is thus avoided.     

Effects of abdominal pressure on venous return: abdominal vascular zone conditions

The effects of changes in abdominal pressure (Pab) on inferior vena cava (IVC) venous return were analyzed using a model of the IVC circulation based on a concept of abdominal vascular zone conditions analogous to pulmonary vascular zone conditions. We hypothesized that an increase in Pab would increase IVC venous return when the IVC pressure at the level of the diaphragm (Pivc) exceeds the sum of Pab and the critical closing transmural pressure (Pc), i.e., zone 3 conditions, but reduce IVC venous return when Pivc is below the sum of Pab and Pc, i.e., zone 2 conditions. The validity of the model was tested in 12 canine experiments with an open-chest IVC bypass. An increase in Pab produced by phrenic stimulation increased the IVC venous return when Pivc-Pab was positive but decreased the IVC venous return when Pivc - Pab was negative. The value of Pivc - Pab that separated net increases from decreases in venous return was 1.00 +/- 0.72 (SE) mmHg (n = 6). An increase in Pivc did not influence the femoral venous pressure when Pivc was lower than the sum of Pab and a constant, 0.96 +/- 0.70 mmHg (n = 6), consistent with presence of a waterfall. These results agreed closely with the predictions of the model and its computer simulation. The abdominal venous compartment appears to function with changes in Pab either as a capacitor in zone 3 conditions or as a collapsible Starling resistor with little wall tone in zone 2 conditions.     

Plasma fibronectin levels during cardiopulmonary bypass

Plasma fibronectin, also called cold-insoluble globulin, is a cryoprecipitable glycoprotein with both opsonic and adhesive activities. It binds to collagen, actin, and heparin and can form soluble as well as cryoprecipitable complexes in the cold. Fibronectin augments particulate phagocytosis by the reticuloendothelial system and can influence lung vascular permeability. Plasma fibronectin deficiency is temporally associated with respiratory failure in septic surgical, trauma, and burn patients. We measured plasma fibronectin and albumin levels in nine adults undergoing elective cardiopulmonary bypass to determine whether dilution alone could account for the changes in plasma fibronectin. Plasma fibronectin concentration decreased 17% with the surgical trauma of opening of the chest and placement of the vascular cannulas. On heparinization and initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass, plasma fibronectin fell an additional 48% (P less than 0.001), whereas albumin concentration (corrected for albumin in the pump prime) fell only 25% (P less than 0.001), emphasizing that dilution was not the only mechanism contributing to the decline in plasma fibronectin. Fibronectin levels began to increase after discontinuation of cardiopulmonary bypass and in association with diuresis, but unexpectedly they remained subnormal until 4 days postoperation. Thus the decline in fibronectin concentration with cardiopulmonary bypass may be due to dilution as well as opsonic consumption and possible complexing with heparin in the cold.     

Alteration of Plasma Trace Elements in Patients Undergoing Open Heart Surgery

Trace elements may contribute to myocardial dysfunction and susceptibility of the phospholipid cell membrane to free-radical damage and oxidative changes. We studied the concentration of trace elements copper, zinc, and magnesium in cardiac surgery. Fifty-four consecutive patients for elective coronary artery bypass grafting (n?=?30) and valve replacement (n?=?24) were studied. Blood samples were collected every 30 min (T1–T5) during cardiopulmonary bypass and postoperatively (T6–T9). Plasma concentrations of copper, zinc, and magnesium were measured with flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The concentrations of copper, zinc, and magnesium were significantly different during and after cardiopulmonary bypass (p?<?0.01). The zinc concentration at T7 and T8 (p?<?0.01) and the copper concentration at T1, T9 (p?<?0.05) were significantly different between two groups. However, the magnesium concentration had no significant differences between the two groups (p?>?0.05). In patients undergoing valve replacement or coronary artery bypass grafting, the concentrations of copper and zinc decreased significantly during cardiopulmonary bypass. Our study suggests that the current cardiopulmonary bypass protocol is adequate in the maintenance of c magnesium. However, the low copper and zinc concentrations found in the present study may suggest that in the future, supplementation particularly of copper and zinc may become a necessary procedure in cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.     

Controversial significance of early S100B levels after cardiac surgery

Background  

The brain-derived protein S100B has been shown to be a useful marker of brain injury of different etiologies. Cognitive dysfunction after cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass has been reported to occur in up to 70% of patients. In this study we tried to evaluate S100B as a marker for cognitive dysfunction after coronary bypass surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in a model where the inflow of S100B from shed mediastinal blood was corrected for.

Urinary soluble IL-6 receptor levels after cardiopulmonary bypass

To investigate the possible role of soluble interleukin 6 receptor (sIL-6r) in the inflammatory response to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with extracorporeal circulation (ECC), we examined the levels of sIL-6r in the urine of 50 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. The presence of sIL-6r in urine was confirmed in these patients, with levels rising from 6 pg/ml preoperatively to 19.5 pg/ml at 6 h and 41 pg/ml at 24 h after the start of cardiopulmonary bypass. Cardiopulmonary bypass leads to a rise in sIL-6r in urine that has not returned to normal after 24 h, suggesting a role for sIL-6r and IL-6 in the inflammatory response to such surgery. Determination of cytokine receptor presence in urine offers a non-invasive approach to the monitoring of the immune and inflammatory response to the stress of surgical and traumatic injury.
