Objective To evaluate electroencephalographic indices, invasive arterial blood pressure and pulse rate as indicators of nociception during isoflurane anaesthesia in pigs. Animals Ten Norwegian Landrace pigs, five castrated males and five females, weighing between 19 and 29 kg. Materials and methods The pigs were anaesthetized with isoflurane and prepared for the measurement of heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the electroencephalogram (EEG). The inspired isoflurane concentration (Fi ′ISO) was then adjusted until the suppression ratio (SR) exceeded 20%, after which the corresponding end‐expired concentration (Fe ′ISO) was maintained for 30 minutes. The effects of noxious stimuli, consisting of pinching (nasal septum, interdigital web, anus, periople) and clamping (tail, claw) on spectral edge frequency 95%, median frequency, alpha/delta ratio, beta/delta ratio, theta/delta ratio, total power, suppression ratio, MAP and HR were recorded. Fe ′ISO was then decreased by 0.3% and maintained for 30 minutes after which noxious stimulation was re‐applied. This was repeated twice with Fe ′ISO reductions of 0.3% being applied each time. Changes in measured variables before and after noxious stimulation were then compared at each of four levels of anaesthesia. Results Noxious stimulation caused significant MAP increases at the lowest two levels for Fe ′ISO. There were no significant changes in the other variables examined. Conclusion Of the variables examined, mean arterial blood pressure is the most sensitive indicator of nociception in isoflurane‐anaesthetized pigs. Clinical relevance When evaluating nociception under isoflurane anaesthesia in pigs mean arterial blood pressure should be monitored when surgery is performed.  相似文献

Objectives To compare the second differential index (SDI) calculated from the auditory evoked potential (AEP) and electroencephalogram (EEG) parameters: median frequency (MF), spectral edge frequency (SEF) and burst suppression rate (BSR) determined at four equivalent minimum alveolar concentrations (MAC) of isoflurane or halothane. Animals Twelve male Wistar rats weighing 418 g (SD ± 18.4 g). Methods Auditory evoked potentials and EEG responses were recorded in animals implanted with electrodes at established anaesthetic concentrations. Depth of anaesthesia was assessed using the strength of the pedal withdrawal reflex (PWR), and data were analysed using repeated measures anova and paired t‐tests. Results The SEF tended to decrease with increasing depth of halothane anaesthesia (F = 4.198, p = 0.05), but not with isoflurane. The MF and SDI were significantly higher during halothane than with isoflurane (F = 5.82, p = 0.036 and F = 5.263, p = 0.045, respectively) at equivalent depths of anaesthesia, and EEG burst suppression occurred at deeper planes of isoflurane but not halothane anaesthesia. Conclusions The study demonstrated that EEG and AEP characteristics recorded at MAC equivalent concentrations were suppressed to a greater degree by isoflurane than by halothane. These findings have strong implications for research projects where EEG recordings are collected, and also cast more general doubts upon the value of such parameters for evaluating depth of isoflurane anaesthesia in rats.  相似文献

Urethane is widely used as a rodent anesthetic in the laboratory setting, and is characterized as producing long‐lasting anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of anesthesia provided by a single dose of urethane based on the response to a noxious stimulus. If the quality of anesthesia was insufficient to prevent gross purposeful movement (GPM), isoflurane was also administered until no response to noxious stimulation occurred. Five adult Harlan Sprague Dawley rats (6 months of age, 250–300 g) were given urethane (1.4 g kg?1 IP) and evaluated for 120 minutes post‐injection. If the rats became laterally recumbent by 20 minutes post‐injection, a large hemostat was positioned around the tail and the response to tail clamping was assessed. If no GPM occurred, an additional 20 minutes was allowed to elapse. If the rats were not laterally recumbent or GPM was present, they were placed in a chamber and isoflurane in oxygen was administered. Inspired isoflurane concentrations (ISO) were measured using a S/5 anesthetic gas analyzer (Datex‐Ohmeda Division, Helsinki, Finland) calibrated before each experiment with a standardized calibration gas mixture (DOT‐34 NRC 300/375 m 1014, Datex‐Ohmeda Division, Helsinki, Finland). A period of 20 minutes was allowed for equilibration to inspired ISO. The tail‐clamp stimulus was then re‐applied and the animal's response recorded. If GPM was absent, ISO was lowered by 10–20% and an additional 20 minute interval elapsed. In contrast, if GPM was present, ISO was increased by 10–20%. This procedure was repeated until the ISO required to prevent GPM was determined in duplicate. The position within the estrus cycle influenced pain thresholds in the rats. As such, a vaginal smear was prepared from each rat and the position in the estrus cycle was determined based on vaginal cytology. Rats were euthanatized at the end of the study period. All values were mean ± SD. Four rats became recumbent after urethane injection (time to recumbency: 45 ± 17 seconds). Of these, two rats (one estrus, one metestrus) did not require isoflurane supplementation for the duration of the study. The three remaining rats (two metestrus, one estrus) required isoflurane supplementation. The mean ISO required to prevent GPM was 0.26 ± 0.16%. Position within the estrus cycle did not appear to affect the animal's response to urethane. These results indicate that urethane anesthesia is not long lasting in all rats and provides variable quality of anesthesia. This is of particular concern in the laboratory setting where muscle relaxants are often administered to rats shortly after urethane injection.  相似文献

Background

Tail biting is a common welfare problem in pig production and in addition to being a sign of underlying welfare problems, tail biting reduces welfare in itself. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of tail biting on different pre and post mortem indicators of stress in slaughter pigs and on carcass and meat characteristics. A total of 12 tail bitten (TB) and 13 control (C) pigs from a farm with a long-term tail biting problem were selected for salivary cortisol analyses before and after transport to the slaughterhouse. After stunning, samples were taken for the analysis of serum cortisol, blood lactate, intestinal heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), and meat quality characteristics. In addition, body temperature immediately after and muscle temperature 35 min after stunning were measured, as well as lean meat percentage and carcass weight.

Results

TB pigs showed a lower cortisol response to the transport-induced stress than C pigs and also had a lower serum cortisol concentration after stunning. HSP70 content in the small intestine was higher in the TB pigs than in C pigs. TB pigs had a considerably lower carcass weight therefore produced a lower total amount of lean meat per carcass than C pigs.

Conclusions

This study suggests that prolonged or repeated stress in the form of tail biting causes a blunted stress response, possibly a sign of hypocortisolism. In addition, it underlines the importance of reducing tail biting, both from an animal welfare and an economic point-of-view.  相似文献

Movement responses to noxious stimuli during anaesthesia indicate nociception. Under experimental conditions consistent prediction of such movement responses has been achieved by the use of nociceptive flexion reflexes (NFRs). The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability of NFRs and the electroencephalogram bispectral index (BIS) in predicting motor responses to real surgical stimuli in pigs. The study was undertaken in 30 pigs undergoing bilateral orchiectomy under ketamine/azaperone anaesthesia. During the operation, movement responses to seven distinct surgical steps that provided noxious stimuli of different intensity were evaluated. Any movement response of limbs or the head was considered as a positive response. For each surgical step the values of NFRs and the BIS obtained just prior to the step were tested as predictors of movement responses.The prediction probability for movement responses was 0.58 ± 0.04 for the BIS and 0.76 ± 0.03 for the NFRs. It was concluded that NFRs but not the BIS can predict the effectiveness of ketamine anaesthesia in terms of the suppression of movement responses to surgical stimuli.  相似文献

The objective of the study was to examine the relationship between the ‘depth’ of anaesthesia - as determined by clinical signs - and the bispectral index (BIS). Electroencephalograms (EEG)s were recorded in 8 female and 8 castrated male, healthy Norwegian landrace pigs undergoing isoflurane anaesthesia, from which the bispectral index (BIS) was calculated. Isoflurane was delivered in pure oxygen at end-tidal concentrations of 1.6, 1.9, 2.2 and 2.5%, in randomised order, for 30 min after which the EEG was recorded over a 5 min period. Anaesthetic depth was evaluated on a visual analogue scale (VAS) by an experienced anaesthetist. The 95% confidence interval for the mean correlation coefficient between BIS and VAS was calculated to be -0.52–0.30. Confidence intervals (95%) for the mean change in the BIS obtained during the conscious state and that obtained during anaesthesia at different isoflurane concentrations was also calculated. There was a significant decrease in the BIS recorded during consciousness and after 1.6% isoflurane anaesthesia, and between readings after inhalation of 2.2% and 2.5% isoflurane. This indicates that BIS does not accurately reflect ‘depth’ at surgical levels of isoflurane anaesthesia in the pig, and is of no use for this purpose.  相似文献

Objective

To investigate the dose-dependent effects of isoflurane and dobutamine on haemodynamics in dogs with experimentally induced mitral valve insufficiency (MI).

Study design

Experimental, dose–response study.

Animals

Six healthy Beagle dogs.

Methods

Dogs with surgically induced MI were anaesthetized once. First, anaesthesia was maintained at an end-tidal isoflurane concentration (Fe′Iso) 1.0% (ISO1.0) for 20 minutes. Then, dobutamine was infused successively at 2, 4, 8 and 12 μg kg?1 minute?1 (DOB2–12) for 10 minutes at each dose rate. Measurements were recorded at each stage. Dobutamine was discontinued and Fe′Iso was increased to 1.5% (ISO1.5) for 20 minutes. Dobutamine was administered similarly to ISO1.0, and cardiovascular variables were recorded. The same sequence was repeated for Fe′Iso 2.0% (ISO2.0). Aortic pressure (AoP) and left atrial pressure (LAP) were recorded by radiotelemetry. The combination method of the pressure–volume loop analysis and transoesophageal echocardiography was used to measure cardiovascular variables: end-systolic elastance (Ees), effective arterial elastance (Ea), Ea/Ees, forward stroke volume (FSV), heart rate (HR), and cardiac output (CO).

Results

High isoflurane concentration resulted in reduced Ees and increased Ea/Ees, which indicated low arterial pressure. High-dose dobutamine administration resulted in increased Ees and FSV at all isoflurane concentrations. In ISO1.5 and ISO2.0, HR was lower at DOB4 than baseline (BL) but increased at DOB12 compared with DOB4. CO increased at ≥ DOB8 compared with BL. In ISO1.5 and ISO2.0, systolic and mean AoP increased at ≥ DOB4 and ≥ DOB8, respectively. LAP did not change under all conditions.

Conclusions and clinical relevance

The dose-dependent hypotensive effect of isoflurane in MI dogs was mainly derived from the decrease in contractility. Dobutamine increased AoP without increasing LAP by increasing the contractility attenuated by isoflurane. Our findings may improve the cardiovascular management of dogs with MI undergoing general anaesthesia with isoflurane.  相似文献

This study compared the effects of isoflurane in pigs (n = 10 Yorkshire–Landrace cross) and dairy goats (n = 10) by evaluation of electroencephalographic (EEG) burst suppression thresholds (BST) in the cerebral cortex and minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) values in the spinal cord. The study also investigated whether individual MAC values can predict the effects of isoflurane on the cerebral cortex. MAC values and BST/MAC ratios were significantly different between species. Inhibition of movement by isoflurane may be less effective in pigs than in goats. No significant correlation was found between individual MAC and BST values, indicating that in single animals the individual MAC poorly reflects the cerebrocortical depressant effect of isoflurane in pigs and goats.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the prestimulation bispectral index (BIS) value or relative change in BIS after noxious stimulation can be used to assess the depth of isoflurane anesthesia in cats. ANIMALS: 17 healthy female cats. PROCEDURE: Electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns and BIS values were examined in cats that received increasing end-tidal (ET) isoflurane concentrations. Subsequently, BIS values were determined before and after either a noxious somatic or visceral stimulus in cats that received ET isoflurane concentrations ranging from 1.8% to 2.4%. Electrical stimuli of the tail base and bladder distension to 50 cm of water were the somatic and visceral stimuli, respectively. RESULTS: he resting BIS at ET isoflurane concentrations from 1.4% to 1.9% steadily decreased concurrently with increasing degrees of EEG suppression. Prestimulation BIS values, however, were not related to 1.8% to 2.4% ET isoflurane concentrations and not useful for prediction of BIS values or hemodynamic and movement responses after a noxious stimulus. The poststimulation BIS value and the difference between mean BIS values before and after stimulation were inversely correlated with increasing ET isoflurane concentrations. Poststimulation BIS values > 60 were observed at ET isoflurane concentrations greater than those associated with a movement response after a stimulus. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The prestimulation BIS value has limited use in assessing anesthetic depth in cats during isoflurane anesthesia. The change in BIS values after a noxious somatic or visceral stimulus was a reliable measure of anesthetic depth and may be a useful measure of early arousal from the hypnotic state.  相似文献

This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of 3 different doses of epidurally administered morphine sulphate on the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane in healthy cats. Five 4-year-old, spayed female cats weighing 4.7 ± 0.8 kg were allocated randomly to receive one of 3 doses of morphine on each study day. The 3 doses of morphine were 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg bwt and each cat was studied 3 times so that each cat received all doses. On each study day, cats were anaesthetised with isoflurane and instrumented. The MAC of isoflurane was determined in triplicate and morphine sulphate was administered via an epidural catheter chronically implanted prior to the study. Maximum MAC reduction was determined over the following 2 h. At the end of the study cats were allowed to recover. There was a significant reduction in MAC of isoflurane, with all doses of epidural morphine (P<0.05). The maximum reduction in MAC of isoflurane after 0.05 mg/kg bwt, 0.10 mg/kg bwt and 0.20 mg/kg bwt morphine was 21.4 ± 9.796, 30.8 ± 9.696, and 30.2 ± 6.8%, respectively, with no significant difference between doses. Systolic, mean and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and arterial pH decreased significantly whereas arterial carbon dioxide tension increased significantly after morphine administration (P<0.05). The means for all variables returned to pre-morphine values when the end-tidal isoflurane concentration was reduced to the new MAC point. In conclusion, epidural morphine decreased the concentration of isoflurane required to prevent movement in response to noxious mechanical stimulation to the tail base. A similar effect may be seen clinically allowing lower doses of isoflurane to be used to provide surgical anaesthesia for procedures involving the hind limbs, pelvis and tail.  相似文献

Recently, decreased activity levels have been observed in pigs treated postoperatively with transdermal delivery of fentanyl (TD-fentanyl) after isoflurane anaesthesia. Whether the change in behaviour is related to opioid-induced sedation or to insufficient pain relief remains to be investigated. This study was therefore undertaken to evaluate the effect of TD-fentanyl 50 microg h(-1) on the activity level with and without isoflurane anaesthesia. Eight pigs (25.4 +/- 5.2 kg) were submitted to a cross-over study and given two treatments; 1) fentanyl patch applied after 30 minutes of anaesthesia (treatment A/F) and 2) fentanyl patch without anaesthesia (treatment F). The pigs' behaviour was observed from a video recording instantaneously every 10 minutes for 24 h before treatments and up to 72 h after the patch attachment. Venous blood samples were taken 1, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h after the patch application. The behaviour recordings showed that TD-fentanyl did not produce sedation in any pig. No differences were found between the two treatments in activity level, weight gain or serum fentanyl concentration. This concentration measured after 24 h was 0.27 +/- 0.11 ng ml(-1) and 0.47 +/- 0.40 ng ml(-1) in the A/F and F group, respectively. In conclusion, transdermal delivery of 50 microg h(-1) fentanyl did not cause inactivity in growing pigs. However, the large variations in serum fentanyl concentration indicate that drug absorption from transdermal patches is unpredictable and sometimes deficient.  相似文献

Reduction of isoflurane MAC by fentanyl or remifentanil in rats   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
Objective The main objective of the study was to determine the effects of three different infusion rates of fentanyl and remifentanil on the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane in the rat. A secondary objective was to assess the cardiovascular and respiratory effects of the two opioid drugs. Animal population Thirty‐seven male Wistar rats were randomly allocated to one of six treatment groups. Material and methods For all treatment groups anaesthesia was induced with 5% isoflurane in oxygen using an induction chamber. A 14‐gauge catheter was used for endotracheal intubation, and anaesthesia was maintained with isoflurane delivered in oxygen via a T‐piece breathing system. A baseline determination of the minimum alveolar concentration of isoflurane (MACISO) was made for each animal. Fentanyl (15, 30, 60 µg kg?1 hour?1) or remifentanil (60, 120, 240 µg kg?1 hour?1) were infused intravenously into a previously cannulated tail vein. Thirty minutes after the infusion started, a second MACISO (MACISO+drug) was determined. The carotid artery was cannulated to monitor the arterial pressure and to take samples for arterial gas measurements. Cardiovascular (heart rate and arterial pressure) and respiratory (respiratory rate and presence/absence of apnoea) effects after opioid infusion were also recorded. Results Fentanyl (15, 30, 60 µg kg?1 hour?1) and remifentanil (60, 120, 240 µg kg?1 hour?1) similarly reduced isoflurane MAC in a dose‐dependent fashion: by 10% at lower doses, 25% at medium doses and by 60% at higher doses of both the drugs. Both opioids reduced the respiratory rate in a similar way for all doses tested. No episodes of apnoea were recorded in the remifentanil groups, while administration of fentanyl resulted in apnoea in three animals (one at each dose level). The effects on the cardiovascular system were similar with both drugs. Conclusions We conclude that the intraoperative use of remifentanil in the rat reduces the MAC of isoflurane, and that this anaesthetic sparing effect is dose‐dependent and similar to that produced by fentanyl at the doses tested. Clinical relevance The use of remifentanil during inhalant anaesthesia in the rat can be considered an intravenous alternative to fentanyl, providing similar reduction in isoflurane requirements. Due to its rapid offset, it is recommended that alternative pain relief be instituted before it is discontinued.  相似文献

ObjectiveAnaesthetics have differing effects on mammalian electroencephalogram (EEG) but little is known about the effects on avian EEG. This study explored how inhalant anaesthetics affect chicken EEG.Study designExperimental study.AnimalsTwelve female Hyline Brown chickens aged 6–11 weeks.MethodsEach chicken was anaesthetized with isoflurane, sevoflurane, and methoxyflurane. For each, anaesthesia was adjusted to 1, 1.5 and 2 times Minimum Anaesthetic Concentration (MAC). Total Power (Ptot), Median Frequency (F50), Spectral Edge Frequency (F95) and Burst Suppression Ratio (BSR) were calculated at each volume concentration. BSR data were analyzed using doubly repeated measures anova. Neither isoflurane nor sevoflurane could be included in analysis of F50, F95 and Ptot because of extensive burst suppression; Methoxyflurane data were analyzed using RM anova.ResultsThere was a significant interaction between anaesthetic and concentration on BSR [F(4,22) = 10.65, p < 0.0001]. For both isoflurane and sevoflurane, BSR increased with concentration. Isoflurane caused less suppression than sevoflurane at 1.5 MAC and at final 1 MAC while methoxyflurane caused virtually no burst suppression. Methoxyflurane concentration had a significant effect on F50 [F(2,20) = 3.83, p = 0.04], F95 [F(2,20) = 4.03, p = 0.03] and Ptot [F(2,20) = 5.22, p = 0.02]. Decreasing methoxyflurane from 2 to 1 MAC increased F50 and F95. Ptot increased when concentration decreased from 1.5 to 1 MAC and tended to be higher at 1 MAC than at 2 MAC.Conclusions and Clinical relevanceIsoflurane and sevoflurane suppressed chicken EEG in a dose-dependent manner. Higher concentrations of methoxyflurane caused an increasing degree of synchronization of EEG. Isoflurane and sevoflurane suppressed EEG activity to a greater extent than did methoxyflurane at equivalent MAC multiples. Isoflurane caused less suppression than sevoflurane at intermediate concentrations. These results indicate the similarity between avian and mammalian EEG responses to inhalant anaesthetics and reinforce the difference between MAC and anaesthetic effects on brain activity in birds.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare 3 types of noxious stimuli applied to various anatomic areas of anesthetized dogs and rabbits for determination of the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC). ANIMALS: 10 dogs and 10 rabbits. PROCEDURE: Dogs were anesthetized with isoflurane and halothane in a randomized order. Rabbits were anesthetized with isoflurane. The MAC was determined by skin incision on the lateral aspect of the chest; clamping of the tail, paw of the forelimb, and paw of the hind limb; and application of electrical current to the oral mucosa (dogs only), forelimb, and hind limb. The MAC was the end-tidal concentration midway between the value permitting and preventing purposeful movement in response to noxious stimuli. RESULTS: In dogs, mean +/- SEM MAC for isoflurane was 1.27 +/- 0.05% for clamping stimuli, 1.36 +/- 0.04% for oral electrical stimulation, 1.35 +/- 0.04% for electrical stimulation to the limbs, and 1.01 +/- 0.07% for surgical incision. The MAC for halothane was 0.97 +/- 0.03% for tail clamping, 0.96 +/- 0.03% for clamping of the limbs, 1.04 +/- 0.03% for electrical stimulation, and 0.75 +/- 0.06% for surgical incision. In rabbits, MAC for isoflurane was 2.08 +/- 0.02% for clamping stimuli, 2.04 +/- 0.02% for electrical stimulation, and 0.90 +/- 0.02% for surgical incision. The MAC for surgical incision was significantly lower than values for the other methods in both species. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Use of electrical current and clamping techniques resulted in similar MAC values. Surgical incision underestimated MAC values in dogs and rabbits.  相似文献

Non-depolarizing muscle relaxants can facilitate surgery and anaesthesia in numerous species, and volatile inhalational anaesthetics such as isoflurane potentiate their action. We studied the effect of isoflurane on the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of metocurine in six goats. Each was studied twice: once during barbiturate-opiate anaesthesia and once during isoflurane anaesthesia. The evoked response to sciatic nerve stimulation was measured using a force transducer attached to the hoof. Metocurine was infused until approximately 80–90% blockade. Plasma metocurine concentration was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. Isoflurane increased the potency of metocurine significantly; IC50 (the concentration in the effect compartment at 50% paralysis) was 70 ± 15 ng/mL during isoflurane anaesthesia and 129 ± 42 ng/mL during barbiturate-opiate anaesthesia ( P < 0.03). Volume of distribution (63 ± 18 mL/kg), clearance (1.6 ± 0.4 mL/min±kg) and elimination half-life (99 ± 9 min) during barbiturate-opiate anaesthesia were not significantly different during isoflurane anaesthesia: 64 ± 25 mL/kg, 1.5 ± 0.7 mL/kgmin, 116 ± 16 min respectively. We conclude that, relative to barbiturate-opiate anaesthesia, isoflurane potentiates metocurine in goats.  相似文献

The effects of fentanyl on the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane and cardiovascular function in mechanically ventilated goats were evaluated using six healthy goats (three does and three wethers). Following induction of general anaesthesia with isoflurane delivered via a mask, endotracheal intubation was performed and anaesthesia was maintained with isoflurane. The baseline MAC of isoflurane (that is, the lowest alveolar concentration required to prevent gross purposeful movement) in response to clamping a claw with a vulsellum forceps was determined. Immediately after baseline isoflurane MAC determination, the goats received, on separate occasions, one of three fentanyl treatments, administered intravenously: a bolus of 0.005 mg/kg followed by constant rate infusion (CRI) of 0.005 mg/kg/hour (treatment LFENT), a bolus of 0.015 mg/kg followed by CRI of 0.015 mg/kg/hour (treatment MFENT) or a bolus of 0.03 mg/kg followed by CRI of 0.03 mg/kg/hour (treatment HFENT). Isoflurane MAC was redetermined during the fentanyl CRI treatments. Cardiopulmonary parameters were monitored. A four-week washout period was allowed between treatments. The observed baseline isoflurane MAC was 1.32 (1.29 to 1.36) per cent. Isoflurane MAC decreased to 0.98 (0.92 to 1.01) per cent, 0.75 (0.69 to 0.79) per cent and 0.58 (0.51 to 0.65) per cent following LFENT, MFENT and HFENT respectively. Cardiovascular function was not adversely affected. The quality of recovery from general anaesthesia was good, although exaggerated tail-wagging was observed in some goats following MFENT and HFENT.  相似文献

To clarify the genetic influence of mycoplasmal pneumonia of swine (MPS) lesion‐selected Landrace (La) on MPS resistance and immune characteristics in three‐way crossbred pigs (LaWaDa), the LaWaDa pigs were compared with the non‐selected crossbred (LbWbDb) and purebred (La) pigs. The MPS lesion score in the three lines was as follows: La line < LaWaDa line < LbWbDb line, with significant differences among the lines. The proportions of myeloid cells and T cells were lower and higher, respectively, in the LaWaDa pigs compared with those in the other two lines. Messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of interleukin (IL)‐6, IL‐10, transforming growth factor‐β, and interferon‐γ in peripheral blood was significantly increased after vaccination in the La and LaWaDa lines. IL‐4 mRNA expression in the LaWaDa line was intermediate to the La and LbWbDb lines. Furthermore, principal component analysis for immune traits and MPS lesions was executed to clarify the characteristics of each pig line. These findings suggest that the immune responses in the three pig lines are genetically distinct and that MPS resistance and some immunity characteristics from the La line were transmitted to the three‐way crossbred pigs.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate bispectral index (BIS), spectral edge frequency 95% (SEF), and median frequency (MED) in relation to a visual analogue scale (VAS) as indicators of anesthetic depth for various concentrations of sevoflurane and isoflurane in pigs. ANIMALS: 32 pigs. PROCEDURE: Pigs were randomly allocated to 8 groups (4 pigs/group). An electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded in each conscious pig. Pigs were then anesthetized by use of sevoflurane (n = 16) or isoflurane (16). Agents were administered in oxygen at minimum alveolar concentrations (MACs) of 1, 1.25, 1.5, and 1.75 MAC in a randomized order. End-tidal sevoflurane and isoflurane concentrations were maintained for 30 minutes, after which an EEG was recorded for 5 minutes; BIS, SEF, and MED were then calculated. Anesthetic depth was evaluated by use of the VAS. Cardiovascular and EEG responses to nociceptive stimuli were evaluated for each anesthetic agent. RESULTS: BIS decreased significantly for the various concentrations of each anesthetic. At equivalent MACs, BIS values were significantly higher during sevoflurane-induced anesthesia than during isoflurane-induced anesthesia. Values of MED and SEF decreased significantly from basal values to 1 MAC of sevoflurane and isoflurane. For both agents, there was good correlation between VAS scores and BIS values and between VAS scores and SEF values. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: BIS was useful for predicting changes in anesthetic depth at clinical dosages of inhalant anesthetics. Values of BIS, SEF, and MED were significantly higher during anesthesia induced by administration of sevoflurane than during anesthesia induced by administration of isoflurance at equivalent MACs.  相似文献

Objective

To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of two doses of tramadol during isoflurane anaesthesia in sheep and their ability to prevent the cardiovascular response induced by surgical stimulation.

Study design

Prospective randomized controlled study.

Animals

A total of 12 healthy sheep (mean weight, 47.5 ± 7.9 kg) undergoing lumbar transpedicular intervertebral disk nucleotomy.

Methods

Sheep were sedated with medetomidine, anaesthesia was induced with propofol and maintained with isoflurane at 1.5 vol.%. Baseline heart rate and blood pressure were measured and sheep were randomly assigned an intravenous injection of tramadol (4 or 6 mg kg?1). Fentanyl was injected as rescue analgesic if cardiovascular parameters were increased more than 20% compared to baseline. If those variables were below 20% of baseline, the concentration of isoflurane was gradually decreased until parameters returned to the original value. Blood collections were performed at pre-assigned times, and concentrations of tramadol and O-desmethyltramadol (M1) assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography.

Results

Time from premedication to anaesthesia induction, anaesthesia time, propofol dose and intraoperative body temperature were similar between doses. Cardiovascular variables remained between ±20% of baseline value, and no statistical difference was observed between treatments. Regardless of the dose of tramadol administered, arterial blood pressure was statistically higher than baseline 10 minutes after tramadol administration, but it gradually returned to previous values. A two-compartment model and a non-compartment model described the pharmacokinetics of tramadol and M1, respectively. Plasma concentrations of tramadol rapidly decreased in the first 2 hours for both doses with an elimination half-life of more than 40 minutes.
