Objectives: The patients who had arteriosclerotic occlusive disease were treated by reperforating procedures or vessel replacing operations. We divided them by two groups. one(control group) is treated by Pletaal(cilostazole), the other(CP group) is by Pletaal with cardiotonic pills(CP). Methods : Control group was treated by Pletaal, CP group was treated by Pretaal with CP for 8 weeks. We primarily evaluated the outcomes by visual analogue scale(VAS) of pain, coldness, numbness, and edema, secondarily hematologic tests. Results : Coldness, numbness and edema were reduced at both groups. In CP group, the VAS dropped more sharply than control group, but not significant. Otherwise, there was significant reduction of VAS on pain. In hematologic tests, there were no abnormal results of all items. Conclusion : The therapy of Pletaal with CP is effective to relieve PRS specially in pain and safety on hematologic tests.

Background: Recent studies indicate that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in persistent pain, including neuropathic and inflammatory pain. Since the data suggest that ROS are involved in central sensitization, the present study examines the levels of activated N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the dorsal horn after an exogenous supply of three antioxidants in rats with chronic post-ischemia pain (CPIP). This serves as an animal model of complex regional pain syndrome type-I induced by hindpaw ischemia/reperfusion injury. Methods: The application of tight-fitting O-rings for a period of three hours produced CPIP in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Allopurinol 4 mg/kg, allopurinol 40 mg/kg, superoxide dismutase (SOD) 4,000 U/kg, N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) 10 mg/kg and SOD 4,000 U/kg plus L-NAME 10 mg/kg were administered intraperitoneally just after O-ring application and on the first and second days after reperfusion. Mechanical allodynia was measured, and activation of the NMDA receptor subunit 1 (pNR1) of the lumbar spinal cord (L4-L6) was analyzed by the Western blot three days after reperfusion. Results: Allopurinol reduced mechanical allodynia and attenuated the enhancement of spinal pNR1 expression in CPIP rats. SOD and L-NAME also blocked spinal pNR1 in accordance with the reduced mechanical allodynia in rats with CPIP. Conclusions: The present data suggest the contribution of superoxide, produced via xanthine oxidase, and the participation of superoxide and nitric oxide as a precursor of peroxynitrite in NMDA mediated central sensitization. Finally, the findings support a therapeutic potential for the manipulation of superoxide and nitric oxide in ischemia/reperfusion related pain conditions.

배경: 체외순환 시 동맥혈액의 고 산소분압 유지는 오랫동안 안전한 기법으로 인식되어 임상에 이용하여 왔으나 고 산소분압은 정상 산소분압 보다 상대적으로 더 많은 독성 산소성분을 생성시켜 산화성 장기손상 및 재관류 손상의 원인이 된다. 저자들은 체외순환 시 동맥혈액을 고 산소분압 혹은 정상 산소분압 상태로 순환시켰을 때의 염증반응과 심근손상에 관해 비교검토하고, 정상 산소분압 체외순환의 임상적 유용성을 조사하기 위해 본 연구를 시행하게 되었다. 대상 및 방법: 성인 심장병 환자 30명을 고산소분압군(PaO2 400mmHg, 고산소군, n=15)과 정상산소분압군(Pa $O_{2}$ 120 mmHg, 정상산소군, n=15)으로 나눈 뒤 다음과 같은 변수들을 측정하여 두 그룹간에 비교하였다. 체외순환 전후의 관상정맥동 혈액을 채취하여 myeloperoxidase (MPO), malondialdehyde(MDA), troponin-T(TnT), adenosine monophosphate(AMP)를 분석하였고, 동맥혈액 내 총 백혈구 수 및 호중구 수를 측정하였다. 혼합 정맥혈액의 lactate 농도, 심장지수, 폐혈관저항도 체외순환 전, 중, 후 시기별로 함께 측정하여 두 그룹간에 비교하였다 결과: 체외순환 후 정상산소군이 고산소군에 비해 더 낮은 MDA농도 (4.79$\pm$0.7 vs 5.86$\pm$0.65 $\mu$mo1/L, p=0.04)와 보다 높은 AMP농도 (1.23$\pm$0.07 vs 1.00$\pm$0.04 nmol/L, p=0.05)를 보였으나 TnT농도 (0.50$\pm$0.08 vs 0.60$\pm$0.08 ng/mL, p>0.05)는 유의한 차가 없었다. 체외순환 후 MPO농도(5.38$\pm$1.01 vs 8.73$\pm$0.90 ng/mL, p=0.02)와 총 백혈구 수(10,484$\pm$836 vs 13,572$\pm$1,1671/㎥, p=0.04)는 정상산소군이 고산소군 보다 낮았다. 체외순환 후 lactate농도 (27.90$\pm$3.41 vs 31.49$\pm$4.87 mg/dL, p=0.55)와 심장지수(2.99$\pm$0.21 vs 2.75$\pm$0.18 L/$m^2$/min, p=0.39)는 양 군 간에 차이가 없었으나 폐혈관 저항(90.37$\pm$16.36 vs 118.12$\pm$12.21 dyne/sec/$cm^{5}$, p=0.04)은 정상산소군이 더 낮았다. 결론: 정상 산소분압 체외순환은 고 산소분압 체외순환에 비해 심근손상과 염증반응을 적게 유발하여 체외순환 후 심장 및 폐기능의 손상정도를 감소시킬 것으로 생각되며 이러한 결과는 정상 산소분압 체외순환이 심장수술에 유용하게 적용될 수 있음을 시사하고 있다.
