Effect of isoflurane + N 2 O inhalation and propofol + fentanyl anesthesia on myocardial function as assessed by cardiac troponin, caspase-3, cyclooxygenase-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase expression.
Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine 2017 November
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of isoflurane + N2 O inhalation and propofol + fentanyl anesthesia on myocardial function as assessed by cardiac troponin T (cTnT). A total of 60 patients were randomized into two groups: isoflurane + N2 O inhalation (n=30) and propofol + fentanyl anesthesia (n=30). The findings demonstrated that there was no significant difference between the two experimental groups in terms of cTnT levels, demographic properties or hemodynamic parameters. Isoflurane + N2 O inhalation and propofol + fentanyl anesthesia, respectively, were also investigated in a rat model of myocardial infarction. Myocardial cell damage, inflammation and oxidative stress levels, caspase-3/9 activities and cyclooxygenase-2 protein expression were markedly decreased, although there was no statistical significance difference between the two experimental groups. Notably, inducible nitric oxide synthase protein expression in the isoflurane + N2 O inhalation group was significantly higher than that of the propofol + fentanyl anesthesia group (P<0.01). In conclusion, isoflurane + N2 O inhalation and propofol + fentanyl anesthesia are not associated with risks for myocardial function.
