To investigate the effects of electro-acupuncture (EA) combined general anesthesia on myocardial injury of high blood sugar patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) in the perioperative phase.Recruited were 40 senile patients with glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) more than 6.5%. They were more than 60 years old. They received post-traumatic fracture reduction surgery of four limbs. They were randomly assigned to two groups, Group N (treated by general intravenous anesthesia) and Group D (treated by EA combined with general intravenous anesthesia), 20 in each group. All patients were maintained anesthesia by propofol, fentanyl, and vecuronium. Prior to the induction of anesthesia, patients in Group D received induction of EA at Neiguan (PC6) and Baihui (DU20) for 20 min, which lasted to the end of the surgery. At before intubation (T0), immediately after intubation (T1), 5 min (T2), immediately after extubation (T3), 5 min (T4), 60 min (T5), 180 min (T6), the fast blood glucose (FBG), plasma vasoactive substance TXB2 and 6-K-prostacycline (6-K-PGF1alpha) were detected in the two groups. The glucose coefficient of variation (GluCV) and the ratio of TXB2/6-K-PGF1alpha were calculated. The changes of ST-segment elevation (mV, sampling 1 min after each time point, and the mean calculated) was recorded.There was no statistical difference in all the tested values between the two groups at T0 (P>0.05). The FBG, ST elevation, and the ratio of TXB2/6-K-PGF1alpha were significantly higher at each time point than at T0 in Group N (P<0.05), while there was no statistical difference in Group D (P>0.05). The ratio of TXB2/6-K-PGF1alpha and ST elevation were significantly higher in Group N than in Group D (P<0.01). The TXB2 and 6-K-PGF1alpha were significantly higher at each time point than at T0 in the two groups (P<0.05). The increment of TXB2 was obviously lower in Group D than in Group N (P<0.05), but the increment of 6-K-PGF1alpha was obviously higher in Group D than in Group N (P<0.05).EA could reduce the perioperative stress response to the injury of coronary vascular endothelial cells, and improve myocardial ischemia and CHD patients' prognosis by regulating the central nervous system, the cardiovascular active substances, and anti-oxygen free radicals.

Metabolomics of developing zebrafish embryos using gas chromatography- and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Zebrafish embryogenesis is a rapid process driven by a myriad of gene products and small molecules. As previous studies have detailed the relevant transcriptional and proteomics changes, here we assess the metabolomic changes that occur at different stages of embryogenesis (4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours post fertilization). Metabolite levels were detected using GC-MS and LC-MS, following which multivariate analysis (OPLS-DA) was applied to identify metabolites that were differentially regulated throughout embryogenesis. From the two robust OPLS-DA models that were generated (Q2(cum) = 0.940 and Q2(cum) = 0.894), a total of 60 detected metabolites (20 from GC-MS, 40 from LC-MS) were identified and found to be important in discriminating between developmental stages. Hierarchical clustering analysis was applied to the dataset and metabolite classes such as amino acids and lipids were shown to be differentially regulated. Biologically relevant transcriptomic and proteomic data were associated with metabolites to provide a more holistic systems perspective of embryogenesis. In summary, the metabolic profiles of different developmental stages highlight the dynamic changes occurring during embryogenesis. These data could serve as a basis for future toxicological or developmental studies.
