目的探讨瑞芬太尼对大鼠肺缺血再灌注损伤及血管紧张素转换酶(ACE)mRNA表达的影响。方法清洁级健康成年雄性SD大鼠40只,体重300~350g,采用随机数字表法,将大鼠随机分为5组(n=8):假手术组(S组),肺缺血再灌注组(I/R组)及不同剂量瑞芬太尼组(R1组~R3组)。采用阻断左肺门45min再灌注120min的方法制备大鼠肺缺血再灌注模型。R1组~R3组于阻断左肺门前15min静脉注射瑞芬太尼负荷剂量1μg/kg,继而分别以0.2、0.6和1.2μg·kg^-1·min的速率静脉输注至再灌注120min。S组和I/R组给予等容量生理盐水。再灌注120rain时放血处死,取肺组织,光镜下观察病理学结果并行肺损伤评分,测定肺组织湿干重比(W/D比),采用RT-PCR法测定肺组织ACEmRNA表达水平。结果与S组比较,I/R组、R,组和R:组肺损伤评分升高,W/D比和ACEmR—NA表达上调,R3组肺损伤评分升高(P〈0.05),W/D比和ACEmRNA表达差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05);与1/R组比较,R1组和心组肺损伤评分、W/D比降低,ACEmRNA表达下调,R1组肺损伤评分、W/D比降低(P〈0.05),ACEmRNA表达差异无统计学意义(P〉O.05);与R1组比较,R3组肺损伤评分、W/D比降低,ACEmRNA表达下调(P〈0.05),R2组肺损伤评分、W/D比降低(P〈0.05),ACEmR—NA表达差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05);与心组比较,K1组肺损伤评分、W/D比降低,ACEmRNA表达下调(P〈0.05)。R1组~R3组肺组织病理学损伤较I/R组减轻。结论瑞芬太尼可减轻大鼠肺缺血再灌注损伤,且呈剂量依赖性,其机制可能与下调ACEmRNA的表达有关。
Objective To investigate the effects of remifentanil on lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) mRNA in rats. Methods Forty pathogen-free adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 300-350 g, were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n = 8 each) : sham operation group (group S) , group I/R and different doses of remifentanil groups (groups R1-R3 ). Lung I/R was produced by occlusion of the left hilum of lung for 45 rain followed by 120 min reperfusion. Remifentanil was infused intraveno- usly at a rate of 0.2, 0.6 and 1.2 μg·kg^-1·min^-1 until 120 min of reperfusion after a loading dose of 1 μg/kg at 15 min before occlusion of the left hilum of lung in groups RI , R2 and R3 , respectively. The equal volume of nor- mal saline was given in groups S and I/R. The rats were scarified at 120 rain of reperfusion and lungs were removed for microscopic examination and determination of wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio) and the expression of ACE mRNA (by RT-PCR) in the lung tissue. The pathological changes of the lung were scored. Results Compared with group S, the pathological score and W/D ratio were significantly increased and the expression of ACE mRNAwas up-regulated in groups I/R, R1 and R2 , and the pathological score was significantly increased (P 〈 0.05), and no significant change was found in W/D ratio and the expression of ACE mRNA in group R3 ( P 〉 0.05). Compared with group I/R, the pathological score and W/D ratio were significantly decreased and the expression of ACE mRNA was down-regulated in groups R2 and R3, and the pathological score and W/D ratio were significantly decreased (P 〈 0.05) and no significant change was found in the expression of ACE mRNA in group R1( P 〉 0.05). Compared with group R1 , the pathological score and W/D ratio were significantly decreased and the ex- pression of ACE mRNA was down-regulated in group R3 , and the pathological score and W/D ratio were signifi- candy decreased
