Abstract

The influence of isoflurane (Iso) on the synthesis and secretion of phosphatidylcholine (PC) of alveolar type II cells (AT II cells) injured by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was investigated. After primary culturing for 32 h, AT II cells isolated and purified from adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups: control group, 02.8 mM Iso group, 2.8 mM Iso group, 75 microM H2O2 group, 75 microM H2O2 + 0.28 mM Iso group, and 75 microM H202 + 2.8 mM Iso group. Synthesis and secretion of phosphatidylcholine (PC) were detected by 3H-choline chloride incorporation. It was found that 0.28 mM and 2.8 mM Iso significantly reduced PC synthesis compared with the control group (p <0.05, p <0.01, respectively), but not PC secretion. 75 microM H2O2 markedly decreased the synthesis and secretion of PC in AT II cells compared with the control group (p <0.01). 0.28 mM and 2.8 mM Iso aggravated the decrease of PC synthesis induced by H2O2 (p <0.05, p <0.01, respectively), but did not affect PC secretion. These findings suggest that Iso itself may inhibit the synthesis of PC of AT II cells in vitro and further damage the cells' function under peroxidation.

GABA(A) receptor activation and open-channel block by volatile anaesthetics: a new principle of receptor modulation?

The rapid application of solutions containing the volatile anaesthetics isoflurane or sevoflurane induced inward currents in human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells carrying rat recombinant alpha(1)beta(2)gamma(2L) GABA(A) receptor assemblies. The responses evoked by the anaesthetics applied via a fast delivery system were recorded using the patch-clamp technique in the whole-cell mode. The anaesthetics induced a fast inward current which was followed by a prominent tail current upon the rapid withdrawal of the agent. These currents were simulated using a kinetic scheme embodying two agonist-like binding steps required for receptor activation, and one binding step by which the anaesthetic induces an open-channel block. According to this model of a biphasic receptor modulation, the open-channel block delays the ion flux through the ligand-gated receptors and, thus, prolongs the overall duration of the current response. Open-channel blocks might also be operative in other ligand-gated ion channels to modulate synaptic strength.

Isoflurane induced prolonged protection against cerebral ischemia in mice: a redox sensitive mechanism?

We here demonstrate that general anesthesia with isoflurane can have profound effects on the brain of mice long after the anesthetic has been discontinued. Three hours of exposure to 1% isoflurane induced rapid and longlasting protection against 60 min transient focal cerebral ischemia induced by filament occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCAO). Mean infarct volumes were significantly smaller in animals pretreated with isoflurane 0, 12, and 24 h before MCAO (-38%, -31%, -24%, respectively). Mild hypoxia (17% O(2)) during or 5 mg/kg desferrioxiamine administered at the onset of isoflurane pretreatment completely abrogated the development of delayed tolerance (12 h) against focal cerebral ischemia, suggesting that the signaling of delayed protection induced by isoflurane is sensitive to the intracellular oxygenation state.

Degrees of aversion shown by rats and mice to different concentrations of inhalational anaesthetics.

The distress associated with the induction of anaesthesia with halothane, isoflurane, enflurane and carbon dioxide was investigated in rats and mice by measuring the level of aversion they displayed on exposure to low, medium and high concentrations of these agents. The animals were exposed to each agent in a test chamber containing air or gas mixtures, which they were able to enter and leave at will, and the level of aversion was assessed in terms of the initial withdrawal and total dwelling times in the chamber. Comparisons between the anaesthetic and air-control treatments indicated that concentrations of the agents recommended for the rapid and efficient induction of anaesthesia were associated with some degree of aversion. Carbon dioxide was by far the most aversive gas for both rats and mice, with the least aversive being halothane for rats, and halothane and enflurane for mice. With all the anaesthetics, the level of aversion increased as the concentration increased.
