To promote wide use of multiple arterial grafting in coronary bypass surgery in China
Multi-branch artery graft has become an important development direction of coronary artery bypass grafting in the world today, but its application is rarely and the proportion is low in China. This article focuses on the application experience of multi-branch artery graft in several centers in China, and expounds some hot issues in the clinical application of multi-branch artery graft, so as to promote the application of multi-branch artery graft and benefit more patients.
The choice of treatment strategies for multi-vessel coronary artery disease
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are the two main methods of coronary revascularization. Advances in medical stent materials (such as drug-eluting stents) and the application of surgical totally arterialized CABG make it more difficult to choose between CABG and PCI. This paper discusses the trend and hot issues of coronary artery disease (CAD) treatment, and puts forward our opinion on the treatment of multi-vessel coronary artery disease: Total artery CABG is the best choice for the treatment of multi-vessel coronary artery disease.
Hotspot issue of clinical practice of multiple arterial grafting in coronary artery bypass surgery in China
The clinical effect of coronary artery bypass grafting is better than that of great saphenous vein, while multi-branch artery grafting has the advantages of perioperative safety, low cardiac revascularization and good long-term survival rate, which has become the main trend of coronary artery bypass grafting, but the use rate is low in China. In this paper, some clinical hot issues that need to be solved urgently are discussed in order to promote the popularization and application of multi-branch artery bridge.
Long-term outcomes of multiple arterial off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
To evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes of multiple arterial off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) on left main coronary artery or multivessel disease.
A total of 329 patients [303 males and 26 females, with a mean age of (55.1±9.1) years old] with left main coronary artery or multivessel disease who underwent isolated multiple arterial OPCAB in Ruijin Hospital between January 2006 and June 2018 were included. The baseline characteristics, perioperative and long-term outcomes were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier analysis was applied for estimation of freedom from major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and overall survival. Independent predictors of MACCE were assessed by Cox regression analysis.
The perioperative mortality was only 0.9% (3/329). The median follow-up time was 65(22, 126) months, and 302 (91.8%) patients were followed up. The long-term MACCE rate, mortality, cardiac mortality, myocardial infarction (MI) rate, stroke rate and target vessel revascularization (TVR) rate were 13.9%, 4.6%, 1.3%, 3.6%, 6.0% and 6.0%, respectively. Among the alive patients, 51.3% were in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Ⅰ class and 80.9% had no recurrence of angina pectoris. The estimated 5-year and 10-year overall survival rates were 97.3% and 93.1%, respectively. The estimated 5-year and 10-year freedom from MACCE survival rates were 91.5% and 78.0%, respectively. Senility (OR=1.058, 95%CI: 1.020-1.097, P=0.002) and history of MI (OR=2.200, 95%CI: 1.131-4.412, P=0.021) were the independent risk factors for late MACCE.
Multiple arterial OPCAB appears to be safe and with excellent clinical outcomes in treating left main coronary artery or multivessel disease.
Clinical outcomes of total arterial off-pump coronary revascularization in patients with left ventricular dysfunction
To compare the advantages and disadvantages of total arterial revascularization (TAR) and conventional off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) grafting in patients with left ventricular dysfunction (LVD).
Between January 2008 and March 2015, 76 patients who were scheduled to undergo selective OPCAB were selected for cardiac surgery in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. The left ventricular ejection fraction of enrolled patients was less than 35%. Among those patients, 38 patients in TAR group underwent total arterial OPCAB with bilateral internal mammary artery, left and/or right radial artery, and another 38 patients in control group underwent conventional OPCAB with left internal mammary artery and great saphenous vein. The clinical data of all patients were collected. The follow-up was performed within 36 months.
There was no significant difference in preoperative clinical data between the two groups (all P>0.05). Additionally, there was no significant difference in the application rate of internal mammary artery, positive inotropic drugs and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) use between the two groups (all P>0.05). The operation time of TAR group was longer than that of control group [(278.3±31.2) min vs (196.7±19.1) min, P<0.01]. There was no significant difference in perioperative mortality between the two groups (5.3% vs 7.9%, P=0.64). The volume of operative drainage and blood transfusion in TAR group increased significantly at 24 hours after operation [(895.0±236.2) ml vs (585.4±172.5) ml, (656.3±84.4) ml vs (433.3±62.9) ml, both P<0.01]. There was no significant difference in perioperative complications such as heart, kidney and lung failure between the two groups (all P>0.05). At 12 months after operation, there were no significant differences in survival rate, cardiac death rate, angina recurrence, myocardial infarction, re-treatment rate of revascularization, re-hospitalization rate from cardiac insufficiency, graft patency rate, cardiac function and echocardiographic data between the two groups (all P>0.05). From 24 to 36 months after operation, all the above indexes in TAR group were better than those in control group except for echocardiographic data (all P<0.05).
For LVD patients, the early clinical efficacy of the two surgical methods is similar, but for the long-term outcomes, the whole arterial OPCAB operation is obviously superior. However, the shortcomings of total arterial OPCAB are that operative drainage and the use of blood products increased significantly after operation.
Early clinical outcomes of minimally invasive coronary surgery-total arterial coronary revascularization
To summarize the early experience and clinical value of minimally invasive coronary surgery-total arterial coronary revascularization (MICS-TACR) through the left anterior small incision.
Between May 2015 and June 2018, a total of 31 consecutive cases [21 males and 10 females, aged (63.2±9.3) years] in Peking University Third Hospital who were performed MICS-TACR with bilateral internal mammary artery and radial artery were enrolled. Meanwhile, 1 489 cases of conventional median sternal incision off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) were matched as control group. According to exclusion criteria and matching score, 90 cases [55 males and 35 females, aged (63.8±9.5) years] were selected as the control group, and the perioperative data of the two groups were compared. All patients in MICS-TACR group underwent postoperative angiography and the graft patency was evaluated.
There were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups. The perioperative blood transfusion of MICS-TACR group was less than control group [0(0,0) U vs 0(0,4) U, P=0.003]. There were no statistically significant differences in operative mortality, intraoperative and postoperative intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) use, re-operation rate, perioperative major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), new-onset renal failure, atrial fibrillation, and multiple organ failure between the two groups. Postoperative angiography showed that there was no significant difference in the patency rate between the MICS-TACR group and control group(all P>0.05).
Total arterial coronary revascularization can be successfully accomplished under the left anterior small incision, and the early clinical outcome is satisfied.
Mid-term multi-center outcomes of bilateral radial artery as conduits in coronary artery bypass grafting
To evaluate the mid-term outcomes of bilateral radial artery (BRA) grafts in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
All perioperative medical records and follow-up results of CABG with BRA grafts in multi-centers of China were analyzed retrospectively.
A total of 211 patients (170 males and 41 females) underwent CABG grafting with BRA conduits between August 2013 and September 2018, with a mean age of (56.5±9.7) years old (rang 41 to 73 years). There were 161 cases of triple-vessel disease and 50 cases of two-vessel disease. Ninety patients had diabetes mellitus (DM), 35 patients with peripheral vascular disease, 4 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and 11 with heart valve disease. Two patients underwent off-pump CABG and 209 patients accepted on-pump CABG with commitment valve surgery. There were 210 cases of total arterial revascularization and 161 cases using left thoracic artery conduits, with a graft number of 2-4 (2.7±0.9). No operation-related death occurred, atrial fibrillation happened in 12 patients, hemothorax in 7 cases, and forearm hematoma in one case, hypoxemia in 13 cases and pneumonia in one case. The duration of mechanical ventilation was (8.3±4.7) hours and the mean hospital length of stay was (7.1±2.9) days. Follow-up was completed in 191 patients (90.52%) with a duration of 3-59 (35.5±9.3) months. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction at 3 months after operation was significantly improved, compared to that of the pre-operation (61.0%±7.2% vs 47.1%±5.3%, P=0.017). All patients survived, except that one died from brain injury. No major cardiac events occurred, with a cumulative survival rate of 100% at 1 year and 99.53% at 3 year after operation, respectively. It was showed in coronary CT angiography (CTA) examination that all grafts in 132 patients were patent at the mean follow-up duration of (21.5±6.4) months.
BRA grafts as arterial conduit in CABG are proved to be safe, easy for total arterial revascularization and have good mid-term clinical results.
NVP-BKM120 in combination with letrozole inhibit human breast cancer stem cells via PI3K/mTOR pathway
Breast cancer stem cells (BCSC) have been suggested to have clinical implications for cancer therapeutics because of their proposed role in chemo-resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate effects of BCSC on endocrine therapy response by regulating PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.
We evaluated the susceptibility of BCSC to NVP-BKM120 (BKM120), a new generation of PI3K-specific inhibitor, when used individually or in combination with letrozole in vivo. For this, a stem-like cell population (SC) was enriched from breast cancer cell line MCF-7 after mammosphere cultures. We have constructed high aromatase expression BCSC (BCSC-CYP19) and non-stem cells (MCF-7-CYP19) subcloning. We demonstrate BKM120 inhibits growth, generation of drug-resistant derivatives and SC formation in BCSC-CYP19 and MCF-7-CYP19.
BKM120 could inhibit BCSC-CYP19 growth by dose-dependence, reduce migration and colony formation of BCSC-CYP19, and also significantly reduced expression of PI3K, Akt1 and S6. Combined BKM120 and letrozolecaninhibit BCSC-CYP19 growth and proliferation, make BCSC-CYP19 stayed in G0-G1 phase increasing significantly to induce early apoptosis, and down-regulate expression of PI3K, Akt1 and S6.
PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway effects on letrozole resistance by regulating BCBSs characteristics. Combination of PI3K inhibitor BKM120 and letrozole could reduce letrozole resistance.
Effect of death decoy receptor 3 on prognosis of breast cancer and function of breast cancer cells in vitro
To study the effect of death decoy receptor 3 on the prognosis of breast cancer and the invasive function of breast cancer cells in vitro.
Expression of DcR3 were assessed qualitatively by Q-PCR to analyze the correlation in 115 mammary tissue samples with a 10-year median follow-up. The expression of DcR3 was examined in MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines using immunocytochemical staining and RT-PCR. DcR3 knock-down cell sub-lines were constructed. The effects of reduced DcR3 expression were observed by establishing invasion and migration models.
Patients were divided into the good prognosis group (n=81) and the poor prognosis group (n=26). The expression of DcR3 in the poor prognosis group (133 350+49 646 copies/50 ng RNA)was significantly higher than that in the good prognosis group (5 393+1 428 copies/50 ng RNA, P=0.020). DcR3 transcripts were found to be increased significantly in grade 2 cancers compared to well differentiated grade 1(82 844±34 068 copies/50 ng RNA, n=39,) vs (5 371±3 500 copies/50 ng RNA, n=20, P=0.029).The DcR3 gene of MCF7 cell line and MDA-MB-231 cell line were successfully knocked out and verified that DcR3 knockout. And the invasion and migration of MCF7 cells were inhibited (P=0.009, P=0.001). However, no significant difference was found in these two aspects of the MDA-MB-231 cell line (P=0.475, P=0.102).
DcR3 promotes the capacity of invasion of breast cancer cells and plays an important role in the metastasis of breast cancer. DcR3 detection is helpful to the judgment about prognosis of breast cancer.
Preoperative evaluation of sentinel lymph node biopsy using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in early breast cancer patients and the involved disturbing factors
To explore the preoperative evaluation of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in early breast cancer patients and the involved disturbing factors.
Eighty-three female early breast cancer patients who underwent concurrent surgery in the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University between January 2017 and May 2018 were enrolled. CEUS was used to seek SLN and determine lymph node metastasis after signature of preoperative informed consent. Rapid pathological examination was used to determine whether metastasis existed in SLN. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, the differences between CEUS and pathological results, and the involved disturbing factors were evaluated.
A total of 212 SLNs were detected by CEUS and SLN biopsy with an average of 2.6 SLNs detected per patient, including 39 SLNs with cancer metastasis (18.4%) and 173 SLNs without cancer metastasis (81.6%). Among the 83 patients, 29 patients were predicted SLN-positive preoperatively utilizing CEUS (including 21 cases with SLN pathological metastasis and 8 cases with non-metastasis), 54 patients were predicted SLN-negative (including 5 cases with SLN pathological metastasis and 49 cases with non-metastasis). The preoperative evaluation of SLN utilizing CEUS were performed with a sensitivity of 80.8% (21/26), specificity of 86.0% (49/57), positive predictive value of 72.4% (21/29), and negative predictive value of 90.7% (49/54), positive likelihood ratio of 5.75, negative likelihood ratio of 0.22, and the accuracy of 84.3% (70/83), respectively. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.834 (95% CI: 0.736-0.906). The primary tumor mean size of SLN-negative group predicted preoperatively utilizing CEUS was (1.78±0.14) cm, and that of the SLN positive group was (2.64±0.19) cm. The difference between the two groups was (0.86±0.24) cm with statistical significance (P=0.000 6). The SLN mean size of SLN-negative group (141 SLNs) was (1.41±0.05) cm and that of SLN-positive group (71 SLNs) was (1.69±0.07) cm. The difference between the two groups was (0.28±0.09) cm with statistical significance (P=0.002 8).
Preoperative CEUS possesses the predictive value for SLN metastasis in early breast cancer. The predicted results may be influenced by the primary tumor size and the SLN size.
Effect of alcohol drinking on sputum conversion at the end of second month and outcome of smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients
To explore the effect of alcohol drinking on sputum culture conversion at the end of second month and outcome of smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients.
Total 2 067 patients aged 18 years and above diagnosed and treated from 2008 to 2011 in 49 TB institutions from 8 provinces, antonomous regions and municipalities were enrolled, according to tuberculosis situation and regional distribution in China. Those patients were divided into three groups according to alcohol drinking, including never alcohol drinker group, ever-alcohol drinker group and current alcohol drinker group, respectively. Chi-square test was used to compare the following variables among the three groups: adverse action, lesions absorption, cavity size, sputum-culture results at the end of the 2nd month of treatment, and treatment outcome. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to explore that whether alcohol drinking was risk factor of poor treatment effect.
Among the 2 067 smear-positive PTB patients, never drinkers, ex-drinkers and current drinkers account for 55.2% (1 140/2 067), 36.5% (755/2 067), 8.3% (172/2 067), respectively. Among patients of never drinkers, ex-drinkers and current drinkers groups, sputum-culture conversion rate at the end of the 2nd month of treatment were 86.1%, 81.3% and 83.0%, respectively (χ2=6.782, P=0.033); the difference in treatment outcome was significant (χ2=13.620, P=0.034). Treatment success rate were 83.9%, 81.1% and 79.7%, respectively; failure rate was 6.4%, 10.3% and 9.9%, respectively, and fatality rate were 2.1%, 2.3% and 4.1%, respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that non-sputum conversion of the end of 2nd month and fatality rate of ex-drinkers were 1.431 and 1.668 times higher than never drinkers, respectively; non-sputum conversion of the end of 2nd month of current drinkers was 1.256 times higher than never drinkers.
Alcohol drinking affects the treatment effectiveness of tuberculosis, which increased risk of culture-positive rate of the end of 2nd month and fatality rate.
Altered regional brain activity of functional connectivity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea
To investigate the changes of default mode network in subjects with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) using functional connectivity (FC).
Clinical data were collected from thirty-three subjects with OSA who went to the Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University, and twenty-nine normal controls were recruited from community from Jan 2016 to Jan 2018. The OSA group was divided into two subgroups according to apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and the lowest oxygen saturation at night: 15 patients in the mild group and 18 in the moderate to severe group. Both of the two group subjects underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging scans, and their default network was extracted based on independent component analysis to compare the differences in FC.
Body Mass Index (BMI), AHI, oxygen desaturation index (ODI), mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) in the OSA group were significantly higher than those in the control group [(27.1±4.3) vs (22.2±2.7) kg/m2, (29.5±22.1) vs (2.4±1.6) events/h, 19.5 (4.6, 39.1) vs 0.6 (0.2, 1.6) events/h, (27.5±1.5) vs (29.4±0.8) score, (8.6±3.3) vs (3.5±1.6) score] (all P<0.001). The OSA group showed an increase in left limbic lobe, left cingulate, left parietal lobe, left inferior parietal lobule; a decrease in bilateral temporal lobe, bilateral limbic lobe and parahippocampa gyrus, left frontal lobe in FC value, compared with the normal control group (all P<0.001). The moderated-severe group showed a significant increase in the left occipital lobe, bilateral cuneus, right parietal lobe; a decrease in the bilateral parietal lobe, inferior parietal lobule in FC value compared with the mild group (all P<0.01).
The FC of default mode network in OSA group is disrupted, with parts of brain regions suffering injury,while parts of brain regions experiencing compensatory reaction. Additionally, the compensatory period translates to the decompensation period with disease progression in OSA group.
Clinical experiences of laparoscopic radical cystectomy and urinary diversion in the elderly patients with bladder cancer
To optimize the surgical procedures of laparoscopic radical cystectomy and urinary diversion for the elderly patients with bladder cancer, generalize operating technique, summarize clinical experiences.
From July 2004 to October 2016, laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) and urinary diversion was performed in 68 elderly patients (≥75 years old) diagnosed with bladder cancer in urology department of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, and the relevant clinical and follow-up data were retrospectively reviewed. All the patients were pathologically diagnosed and their perioperative data, postoperative pathological results, postoperative complications and follow-up outcomes were recorded and analyzed.
Among 68 elderly patients with bladder cancer, fifty patients were male and 18 were female, the age of whom were (79±4) (range 75 to 91) years old. The Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) score was 6±1 (range 5 to 7). All the 68 operations were successfully performed without conversion to open surgery. There were 26 cases receiving cutaneous ureterostomy, 34 cases receiving ileal conduit (intracorporeal for 16 cases and extracorporeal for 18 cases) and 8 cases receiving orthotopic ileal neobladder (intracorporeal for 4 cases and extracorporeal for 4 cases; Xing′s technique for 4 cases, T-Pouch for 2 cases and Studer-Pouch for 2 cases) respectively, and the operation time of these three groups were (221±47) min, (315±70) min and (358±90) min respectively, the estimated blood loss were 100 (87, 200)ml, 300 (250, 500) ml and 250 (113, 725) ml respectively, the time of intake of liquid diet were 3 (2, 4) d, 6 (5, 7) d and 9 (5, 12) d respectively, and the postoperative hospital stay were (12±6) d, (24±11) d, and (27±11) d respectively. Postoperative pathological results showed urothelial carcinoma in 64 patients, squamous cell carcinoma in 2 patients and adenocarcinoma in 2 patients. Sixty patients received laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy and the number of dissected lymph nodes was 17.1±7.0. There were 46 cases with T stage greater than or equal to T2 (46/68, 67.6%), 4 cases of low grade (4/68, 5.9%) and 60 cases of high grade (60/68, 88.2%). All the early postoperative (within 30 days after the operation) complications were grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ mainly manifested as fever, pain and infection that could get better with symptomatic treatment, and the incidence rate were 30.8% for cutaneous ureterostomy, 29.4% for ileal conduit and 37.5% for orthotopic ileal neobladder. The patients were followed up for a median period of 93.5 months without obvious hydronephrosis and impaired renal function. The 5-year cancer specific survival rate and overall survival rate were 57% and 50% respectively. There was significant difference between the preoperative and postoperative QOL (quality of life) score (56.0±10.0 and 47.4±5.8 respectively, P<0.05) which indicated that the patients′ postoperative quality of life was greatly improved.
Laparoscopic radical cystectomy and urinary diversion for the elderly patients with bladder cancer is safe and feasible, and owns great therapeutic value.
Outcome of kidney transplantation with graft from intracerebral hemorrhage donors
To analyze the data of kidney transplantation with allografts from intracerebral hemorrhage donors of China donation after citizen′s death (CDCD) and provide evidence to guide the clinical practice.
The clinical data of CDCD donors (age ≥10 years)and corresponding kidney allograft recipients, which were done by Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University during January 1 2013 to December 31 2017, were analyzed retrospectively.
327 CDCD cases were analyzed, the number and percentage of intracerebral hemorrhage donors were gradually increasing and the percentage reached to 39.5% in 2017. The discarding rateof kidney allografts donated by intracerebral hemorrhage donors was higher than those donated by non-intracerebral hemorrhage donors, but intracerebral hemorrhage donor may not be a risk factor for DGF after the rigorous evaluation of kidney allografts. For 145 primary recipients transplanted in 2016 and had a 22±4 month follow-up, the recipients accepted the kidney from intracerebral hemorrhage donors had a higher level of serum creatinine[(130±60)μmol/L vs (111±38) μmol/L,P<0.05]and a lower eGFR[(61±23) ml·min-1·(1.73m2)-1 vs (70±23) ml·min-1·(1.73m2)-1,P<0.05] compared to the recipients accepted the kidney from non-intracerebral hemorrhage donors.
The number and percentage of organ donation from intracerebral hemorrhage donor is increasing, but the intracerebral hemorrhage donor may be a risk factor for long-term outcome of kidney transplantation.
Role and related mechanism of resolvin D1 in lung ischemia reperfusion injury in rats
To investigate the role and related mechanism of resolvin D1 (RvD1) in lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) in rats.
Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats, 7-8 weeks, weighing 220-280 g, were divided into 4 groups using a random number table method: sham operation group, lung ischemia reperfusion control group, normal saline group, and RvD1 group. The rat model of LIRI was produced by 45 min of occlusion of the left hilum of lungs followed by 150 min reperfusion. In sham group, no blocking of the left hilum of lung after thoracotomy; Normal saline 2 ml/kg and RvD1 100 μg/kg were injected respectively at 10 min of reperfusion in normal saline group and RvD1 group. Blood samples were collected from the femoral vein for determination of interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, soluble inter-cell adhesion molecules (sICAM-1) concentrations at 150 min of reperfusion. The rats were sacrificed after collection of blood samples and then lung tissues were taken for observation of the pathological changes and for measurement of lung wet/dry weight ratio (W/D). The the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2 and the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in lung tissues were determined. The protein relative expression of nuclear factor (NF)-κB in lung tissues was detected by Western blot. Lung tissue cell apoptosis was detected with TUNEL method.
The plasma level of IL-6, TNF-α, sICAM-1 in normal saline group and RvD1 group were significantly higher than those in the Sham group [(110±7), (100±4) vs (72±3) ng/L, (151±8), (153±6) vs (104±5) ng/L, (2 690±133), (2 760±167) vs (1 953±125) ng/L]. Besides, NF-κB protein relative expression level of lung tissues up-regulated [(0.681±0.033), (0.664±0.024) vs (0.292±0.011)] (allP<0.05). The W/D, apoptosis index, MDA, MCP-1, MIP-2 contents and MPO activity in lung ischemia reperfusion control group, normal saline group and RvD1 group were significantly higher than those in the Sham group [(5.92±0.31), (5.85±0.24), (5.06±0.08) vs (4.14±0.10), (32.9±1.5)%, (31.9±1.3)%, (17.7±1.8)% vs (8.1±0.6)%, (72.1±2.3), (66.7±3.7), (34.0±1.4) vs (22.0±0.8) nmol/mg, (3.99±0.28), (3.86±0.25), (2.66±0.16) vs (1.47±0.17) pg/mg, (9.45±0.53), (9.68±0.62), (7.62±0.22) vs (4.70±0.41) pg/mg, (3.01±0.18), (2.92±0.19), (1.58±0.11) vs (0.98±0.07) U/g] (all P<0.05). The plasma levels of the cytokines mentioned above, the W/D, the apoptosis index, MDA, MCP-1, MIP-2 contents and MPO activity in RvD1 group were significantly lower than those in the lung ischemia reperfusion control group [(63±4) vs (110±7) ng/L, (90±8) vs (151±8) ng/L, (1 835±182) vs (2 690±133) ng/L, (5.06±0.08) vs (5.92±0.31), (17.7±1.8)% vs (32.9±1.5)%, (34.0±1.4) vs (72.1±2.3) nmol/mg, (2.66±0.16) vs (3.99±0.28) pg/mg, (7.62±0.22) vs (9.45±0.53) pg/mg, (1.58±0.11) vs (3.01±0.18) U/g]. Besides, NF-κB protein relative expression level of lung tissues down-regulated [(0.313±0.012) vs (0.681±0.033)] (allP<0.05). Inflammatory cell infiltration in LIRI groups increased significantly, while it was significantly reduced in RvD1 group.
RvD1 can effectively alleviate the tissue damage caused by lung ischemia-reperfusion through down-regulating NF-κB expression, relieving inflammatory reaction and oxidative stress, reducing apoptosis in rats.
