The effects of levosimendan (Levo) on injury patterns in the immature brain following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are unknown.
Eighteen 3- to 4-wk-old anesthetized lambs, instrumented with vascular catheters and aortic and right carotid artery flow probes, were allocated to non-CPB, CPB, or CPB+Levo groups (each n = 6). After 120 min CPB with 90 min aortic cross-clamp, CPB animals received dopamine, and CPB+Levo animals both dopamine and Levo, for 4 h. All lambs then underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging, followed by postmortem brain perfusion fixation for immunohistochemical studies.
In CPB lambs, aortic (P < 0.05) and carotid artery (P < 0.01) blood flows fell by 29 and 30%, respectively, between 2 and 4 h after cross-clamp removal but were unchanged in the CPB+Levo group. No brain injury was detectable with magnetic resonance imaging in either CPB or CPB+Levo lambs. However, on immunohistochemical analysis, white matter astrocyte density of both groups was higher than in non-CPB lambs (P < 0.05), while white matter microglial density was higher (P < 0.05), but markers of cortical oxidative stress were less prevalent in CPB+Levo than CPB lambs.
While Levo prevented early postoperative falls in cardiac output and carotid artery blood flow in a lamb model of infant CPB, this was associated with heterogeneous neuroglial activation and manifestation of markers of oxidative stress.
心肺转流(CPB)后,左西孟旦(Levo)对未成熟大脑损伤模式的影响尚不清楚。
18 只 3 至 4 周龄麻醉羔羊,血管导管和主动脉及右颈动脉流量探头置入,分为非 CPB、CPB 或 CPB+Levo 组(每组 n=6)。CPB 持续 120min,主动脉夹闭 90min 后,CPB 组给予多巴胺,CPB+Levo 组给予多巴胺和 Levo,持续 4h。所有羔羊随后进行脑磁共振成像,然后进行脑灌注固定以进行免疫组织化学研究。
CPB 组羔羊在夹闭解除后 2 至 4h 时,主动脉(P<0.05)和颈动脉(P<0.01)血流分别下降 29%和 30%,但 CPB+Levo 组无变化。磁共振成像在 CPB 或 CPB+Levo 组羔羊中均未检测到脑损伤。然而,在免疫组织化学分析中,两组的白质星形胶质细胞密度均高于非 CPB 组(P<0.05),而白质小胶质细胞密度更高(P<0.05),但 CPB+Levo 组皮质氧化应激标志物的出现较 CPB 组少。
虽然左西孟旦预防了婴儿 CPB 羔羊模型中术后早期心输出量和颈动脉血流的下降,但这与神经胶质激活的异质性和氧化应激标志物的出现有关。
