Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of Shenmai injection on the inflammatory response of brain tissue in patients with carotid endarterectomy. Methods A total of fifty ASA physical statusⅡor Ⅲ patients, scheduled for elective unilateral carotid endarterectomy under general anesthesia, were randomly divided into 2 groups(n=25) using a random number table: Shenmai injection group (group S) and control group (group C). Group S was given Shenmai injection 0.6 ml/kg after the anesthesia induction, adding 250 ml of saline intravenous infusion. Group C was given equal volume of saline. 20 min before the anesthesia induction (T0), 10 min after anesthesia induction (T1), 15 min after carotid artery occlusion(T2), 15 min after carotid artery open(T3), 6 h after operation(T4), 24 h after operation (T5). Malondialdehyde(MDA) concentration was measured by thiobarbituric acid method. The concentrations of serum S100β, TNF-α and IL-6 were measured by ELISA. At the same time, the concentration of serum S100β, TNF-α and IL-6 were measured by ELISA. Jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjvO2) and cerebral arterial-jugular venous oxygen content difference(Da-jvO2) were measured by the blood gas analysis of radial artery and internal jugular vein. Results There was no significant difference in SjvO2 and Da-jvO2 between the two groups at T0-T5(P>0.05). There was no significant difference in serum S100β, TNF-α, IL-6, MDA concentration between the two groupsat T0, T1(P>0.05). Compared with T0, the concentration of S100β increased at T3-T5 and the level of serum IL-6 increased at T2-T5. Also, the serum MDA concentrations were increased at T3, T4, the concentration of TNF-α increased in group C at T2-T5 and in group S at T3, T4(P<0.05). Compared with group C, serum S100β concentration decreased in group S, levels of TNF-α and IL-6 decreased at T2-T5, and serum MDA concentration decreased at T3, T4(P<0.05). Conclusions Shenmai injection can reduce the brain injury by inhibiting the inflammatory response of the brain tissue in patients with carotid endarterectomy.
