Background: Septic acute liver and intestinal failure is associated with a high mortality. We therefore investigated the influence of volume resuscitation with different crystalloid or colloid solutions on liver and intestine injury and microcirculation in septic rodents. Methods: Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) in 77 male rats. Animals were treated with different crystalloids (NaCl 0.9% (NaCl), Ringer’s acetate (RA)) or colloids (Gelafundin 4% (Gel), 6% HES 130/0.4 (HES)). After 24 h animals were re-anesthetized and intestinal (n = 6/group) and liver microcirculation (n = 6/group) were obtained using intravital microscopy, as well as macrohemodynamic parameters were measured. Blood assays and organs were harvested to determine organ function and injury. Results: HES improved liver microcirculation, cardiac index and DO2-I, but significantly increased IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α levels and resulted in a mortality rate of 33%. Gel infused animals revealed significant reduction of liver and intestine microcirculation with severe side effects on coagulation (significantly increased PTT and INR, decreased haemoglobin and platelet count). Furthermore Gel showed severe hypoglycemia, acidosis and significantly increased ALT and IL-6 with a lethality of 29%. RA exhibited no derangements in liver microcirculation when compared to sham and HES. RA showed no intestinal microcirculation disturbance compared to sham, but significantly improved the number of intestinal capillaries with flow compared to HES. All RA treated animals survided and showed no severe side effects on coagulation, liver, macrohemodynamic or metabolic state. Conclusions: Gelatine 4% revealed devastated hepatic and intestinal microcirculation and severe side effects in CLP induced septic rats, whereas the balanced crystalloid solution showed stabilization of macro- and microhemodynamics with improved survival. HES improved liver microcirculation, but exhibited significantly increased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Crystalloid infusion revealed best results in mortality and microcirculation, when compared with colloid infusion.
Background: The present anonymous multicenter online survey was conducted to evaluate the application of regional anaesthesia techniques as well as the used local anaesthetics and adjuncts at German and Austrian university hospitals. Methods: 39 university hospitals were requested to fill in an online questionnaire, to determine the kind of regional anaesthesia and preferred drugs in urology, obstetrics and gynaecology. Results: 33 hospitals responded. No regional anaesthesia is conducted in 47% of the minor gynaecological and 44% of the urological operations; plain bupivacaine 0.5% is used in 38% and 47% respectively. In transurethral resections of the prostate and bladder no regional anaesthesia is used in 3% of the responding hospitals, whereas plain bupivacaine 0.5% is used in more than 90%. Regional anaesthesia is only used in selected major gynaecological and urological operations. On the contrary to the smaller operations, the survey revealed a large variety of used drugs and mixtures. Almost 80% prefer plain bupivacaine or ropivacaine 0.5% in spinal anaesthesia in caesarean section. Similarly to the use of drugs in major urological and gynaecological operations a wide range of drugs and adjuncts is used in epidural anaesthesia in caesarean section and spontaneous delivery. Conclusions: Our results indicate a certain agreement in short operations in spinal anaesthesia. By contrast, a large variety concerning the anaesthesiological approach in larger operations as well as in epidural analgesia in obstetrics could be revealed, the causes of which are assumed to be primarily rooted in particular departmental structures.
During stroke the blood–brain barrier (BBB) is damaged which can result in vasogenic brain edema and inflammation. The reduced blood supply leads to decreased delivery of oxygen and glucose to affected areas of the brain. Oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) can cause upregulation of glucose uptake of brain endothelial cells. In this letter, we investigated the influence of MK801, a non-competitive inhibitor of the NMDA-receptor, on the regulation of the glucose uptake and of the main glucose transporters glut1 and sglt1 in murine BBB cell line cerebEND during OGD. mRNA expression of glut1 was upregulated 68.7- fold after 6 h OGD, which was significantly reduced by 10 μM MK801 to 28.9-fold. Sglt1 mRNA expression decreased during OGD which was further reduced by MK801. Glucose uptake was significantly increased up to 907% after 6 h OGD and was still higher (210%) after the 20 h reoxygenation phase compared to normoxia. Ten micromolar MK801 during OGD was able to reduce upregulated glucose uptake after OGD and reoxygenation significantly. Presence of several NMDAR subunits was proven on the mRNA level in cerebEND cells. Furthermore, it was shown that NMDAR subunit NR1 was upregulated during OGD and that this was inhibitable by MK801. In conclusion, the addition of MK801 during the OGD phase reduced significantly the glucose uptake after the subsequent reoxygenation phase in brain endothelial cells.
In cats anesthetized with alpha-chloralose, extracellular recordings were made from fine afferent units belonging to the medial articular nerve (MAN) of the knee joint. The excitatory and sensitizing effects on articular afferents of serotonin (5-HT) applied intra-arterially close to the joint were examined. The joints were either normal or an experimental arthritis had been induced some hours before the recording session. Bolus injections of 1.35-135 p,g 5-HT excited about 43% of group 111 (CV: 2.5-20 m/sec) and 73% of group IV units (CV: < 2.5 mjsec) from normal joints. The latency was usually between 10 and 30 sec, and the duration and size of the responses were dose-dependent. Fast group 111 units (CV: > 16 mjsec) and group li units (CV: > 20 m/sec) were never excited by 5-HT. Repetitiveadministration led to pronounced tachyphylaxis of the 5-HT response. Inflammation induced an enhanced sensitivity of group III articular afferent units to close intra-arterial application of 5-HT. In particular the total duration of each response was considerably prolonged (4-10 min against 1-2 min under normal conditions). At the same time the tachyphylaxis seen under normal conditions was gteatly reduced. In contrast, group IV articular afferent units did not become sensitized to 5-HT in the course of inflammation. In normal joints 5-HT did not sensitize fineafferent units for movement-induced responses. However, after inflammation, a distinct sensitization to such movements by 5-HT application could be observed bothin group 111 and group IV fiber ranges. The sensitization had a short time course not exceeding 7 min. The tonic component of the movement-induced response was more enhanced than the phasic one. The bolus application of 5-HT led to temporary vasoconstriction of the knee joint vessels. This vasoconstriction was especially pronounced in inflamed joints and impeded the access of subsequently applied substances to the terminal regions of the afferent units under observation. lt is concluded that the present results support the notion that 5-HT may participate in the mediation of pain from inflamed tissue such as an arthritic joint by exciting and sensitizing fine afferent units. During inflammation group 111 units are particularly sensitive to 5-HT and, thus, may carry the bulk of the 5-HT-induced nociceptive messages.
