Profound hypothermia induced suspended animation for delayed resuscitation(SADR) is a novel approach for inducing cardiac arrest and buying additional time for such injuries. However, the time used to safely administer circulatory arrest(CA) is controversial. The goal of this study was to evaluate the safety of hypothermia-induced SADR over 90 and 120 min time intervals.Methods: Sixteen male BAMA minipigs were randomized into two groups: CA90 group(90 min, n =8) and CA120 group(120 min, n =8). Cannulation of the right common carotid arteries and internal jugular veins was performed to establish cardiopulmonary bypass for each animal. Through the perfusion of cold organ preservation solution(OPS), cardioplegia and profound hypothermia(15℃) were induced. After CA, cardiopumonary bypass(CPB) was restarted, and the animals were gradually re-warmed and resuscitated. The animals were assisted with ventilators until spontaneous breathing was achieved. The index of hemodynamic perioperative serum chemistry values [alanine transaminase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), creatinine(CR), lactic dehydrogenase(LDH) and troponin T(TnT)] and survival were observed from pre-operation to 7 days post-operation.Results: Fifteen animals were enrolled in the experiment, while 1 animal in CA120 group died from surgical error. All 8 animals in CA90 group recovered, with only 1 animal displaying mild disability. However, in CA120 group, only 2 animals survived with severe disability, and the other 5 animals died after 2 days post-operation. In CA90 group, the perioperative serum chemistry values increased at 1 day post-operation(ALT 84.43±18.65 U/L; AST 88.99±23.19 U/L; Cr 87.90±24.49μmol/L; LDH 1894.13±322.26 U/L; TnT 0.849±0.135 ng/ml) but decreased to normal or almost normal levels at 7 days post-operation(ALT 52.48±9.04 U/L; AST 75.23±21.46 U/L; Cr 82.69±18.41μmol/L; LDH 944.67±834.32 U/L; TnT 0.336±0.076 ng/ml).Conclusion: Profound hypothermia-induced SADR is an effective method for inducing cardiac arrest. Our results indicate that inducing CA for 90 min(at 15℃) is safer than doing so for 120 min. Our results indicate that 120 min of CA at 15℃ is dangerous and can result in high mortality and severe neurological complications. Further experimentation is needed to determine whether 120 min of CA at temperatures lower than 15℃ can lead to safe recovery.展开更多

文摘目的探究50 Hz 1.8 m T正弦交变电磁(sinusoidal electromagnetic fields,SEMFs)是否能抑制尾吊(hind-limb suspension,HLS)所致大鼠的骨量丢失。方法 30只雌性SD大鼠(180±10)g,分为3组,每组10只,分别为对照组、HLS组和HLS+SEMFs组。除对照组外,HLS组和HLS+SEMFs组大鼠进行尾吊,之后,HLS+SEMFs组大鼠每天进行1.5 h 50 Hz1.8 m T正弦交变电磁场干涉。4 w后处死全部大鼠,对各组大鼠进行重要脏器的器官指数计算和病理学观察、离体骨密度检测、骨生物力学分析和骨形态计量学分析以及Micro-CT扫描。结果实验期间各组大鼠的体重及重要脏器的器官指数差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),脏器病理学观察未见异常变化;骨密度结果显示,SEMFs有效提高股骨和椎骨的离体骨密度;生物力学实验表明,SEMFs减轻了HLS引起的股骨和椎骨力学性能的降低。此外,SEMFs能增加骨钙素(osteocalcin,OC)含量,并且对抗酒石酸酸性磷酸酶5b(tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b,TRACP-5b)具有一定的抑制作用;Micro-CT结果显示,SEMFs部分抑制HLS造成的松质骨骨微结构的减少,相比HLS组,骨小梁数、骨小梁厚度、骨小梁面积显著升高,且分离度下降;骨组织形态学分析同样表明SEMFs改善了松质骨骨微结构的恶化。结论 50 Hz 1.8 m T SEMFs能抑制HLS所致大鼠的骨量丢失,其可能机制是具有抑制骨吸收和提高骨形成的双重活性,这将为电磁场治疗骨质疏松症的临床应用提供依据。
