We have studied the role of oxidant stress in development of rhythm disturbances in early postoperative period after coronary artery bypass grafting and possibilities of their prevention with preparations of ascorbinic acid. It was shown that the use of β-adrenoblockers allows to prevent arrhythmia on first day after operation only in 80% of cases. Patients with developed disturbances of cardiac rhythm were characterized by high parameters of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and substantial changes of activity of antioxidant enzyme catalase. Administration of ascorbinic acid at the stage of preparation of patients to surgery and in first 24 hours after operation allowed to effectively prevent development of oxidative stress and disturbances of cardiac rhythm. A conclusion was made that inclusion of ascorbinic acid in drug therapy of patients with ischemic heart disease could be recommended for prevention of arrhythmia in postoperative period.

To evaluate the safety profile of cationic micelles, based on triblock copolymer poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate)-poly(e-caprolactone)-poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA- PCL-PDMAEMA), the effects of empty (PM) and curcumin loaded micelles (PM-Curc) on nonenzyme induced lipid peroxidation (LPO) in vitro, hemolytic activity and morphological changes in some organs after repeated intraperitoneal administration in vivo were studied. To induce LPO, rat liver microsomes were incubated with a solution of iron sulfate and ascorbinic acid (Fe/AA). The effect of empty PM (40 and 100 μg/ml), PM-Curc and free curcumin (both at 3.

The aim of the following study was to evaluate the effect of a purified saponin mixture (PSM), isolated from Astragalus corniculatus Bieb. (Fabaceae), on enzyme-induced and non-enzyme-induced lipid peroxidation (LPO), in liver microsomes from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) - strain Okamoto Aoki, as compared to normotensive Wistar rats (NTRs). The enzyme-induced lipid peroxidation was performed by incubating rat liver microsomes with carbonetetrachloride (CCl(4)) in the presence of NADPH.

Acta Anaesthesiol Belg
March 1985
The characteristics of the steroid response during an etomidate-fentanyl combination was explored in two groups of five patients undergoing major abdominal vascular surgery. Cortisol, androstene-dion, compound-S and ACTH were measured during surgery for three hours. In the fourth hour, an ACTH1-24 stimulation test was performed in one group and the steroid response was assessed.
