Abstract
Historically, volatile anesthetics have demonstrated interesting interactions with both the innate and adaptive immune systems. This review organizes these interactions into four phases: recognition, recruitment, response, and resolution. These phases represent a range of proinflammatory, inflammatory, and innate and adaptive immune regulatory responses. The interaction between volatile anesthetics and the immune system is discussed in the context of pathogenesis of infectious disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE During off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery, the heart is subjected to ischemia and reperfusion. The authors hypothesized that the volatile anesthetics are as effective as ischemic preconditioning (IPC) in preserving myocardial function during off-pump cardiac surgery, and this effect is because of multiple mechanisms of action. Therefore, the effects of enflurane with its calcium inhibition and antioxidative properties were compared with mechanical IPC in preserving myocardial cellular markers. DESIGN A prospective, randomized, controlled, and partly blinded study. SETTING A tertiary care university hospital. PARTICIPANTS Twenty-five patients undergoing elective single-graft OPCAB surgery. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomized into 3 groups: (1) control (n = 8), (2) a single 5-minute ischemia/reperfusion interval of IPC before coronary occlusion (n = 9), and (3) 1.6% enflurane anesthesia 15 minutes before and during graft attachment (n = 8). Arterial and coronary sinus venous blood were analyzed for biochemical indices of ischemia and hydroxyl radical generation. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Although the hemodynamic changes were small, myocardial lactate production in the control group increased by 120%, whereas in the enflurane group it decreased significantly (p < 0.01) compared with the control and IPC groups. Oxygen utilization in the control group was 44% higher (p < 0.03), and there was also a larger release of the hydroxyl radical-dependent adduct 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (225% increase, p < 0.05) compared with both study groups. During reperfusion, initial anterior wall hypokinesis by TEE was observed, with slow recovery during reperfusion compared with early recovery in both study groups. CONCLUSIONS Coronary occlusion during OPCAB surgery results in increased production of ischemia-related metabolic products. The application of methods such as IPC or volatile anesthesia appears to reduce the metabolic deficit, free-radical production, and physiologic changes.

Abstract
Open-heart surgery triggers an inflammatory response that is largely the result of surgical trauma, cardiopulmonary bypass, and organ reperfusion injury (e.g. heart). The heart sustains injury triggered by ischaemia and reperfusion and also as a result of the effects of systemic inflammatory mediators. In addition, the heart itself is a source of inflammatory mediators and reactive oxygen species that are likely to contribute to the impairment of cardiac pump function. Formulating strategies to protect the heart during open heart surgery by attenuating reperfusion injury and systemic inflammatory response is essential to reduce morbidity. Although many anaesthetic drugs have cardioprotective actions, the diversity of the proposed mechanisms for protection (e.g. attenuating Ca(2+) overload, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, pre- and post-conditioning-like protection) may have contributed to the slow adoption of anaesthetics as cardioprotective agents during open heart surgery. Clinical trials have suggested at least some cardioprotective effects of volatile anaesthetics. Whether these benefits are relevant in terms of morbidity and mortality is unclear and needs further investigation. This review describes the main mediators of myocardial injury during open heart surgery, explores available evidence of anaesthetics induced cardioprotection and addresses the efforts made to translate bench work into clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ear surgery using mastoid drills can lead to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). We investigated whether inhaled anesthetics or pentobarbital could have protective effects on NIHL in mice. METHODS Mice were exposed to broad band white noise for 3 h per day for 3 consecutive days, with or without anesthesia, using halothane, isoflurane, or pentobarbital. The hearing level of each mouse was analyzed before exposure, and 1 day, 1, 2, and 3 Wk, and 1 mo after noise exposure by measuring auditory brainstem response thresholds. At 1 Wk after noise exposure, the organ of Corti was stained with a fluorescent isothiocyanate-conjugated phalloidin probe and a TUNEL kit. RESULTS In the unanesthetized control group, the hearing threshold increased to 77.5 +/- 8.0 dB hearing level (HL) after noise stimulation. In the pentobarbital, isoflurane, and halothane groups, hearing threshold increased to 62.5 +/- 6.3 dB HL, 45.5 +/- 9.8 dB HL, and 39.3 +/- 6.2 dB HL, respectively, with all anesthetized groups of mice showing significantly preserved hearing compared with the control group (P < 0.05). But, in mice anesthetized with pentobarbital, hearing loss was more severe than in those treated with the inhaled anesthetics (P < 0.05). Hair cell survival was reduced in unanesthetized control mice and somewhat reduced in pentobarbital-treated mice, but largely unaffected in mice treated with inhaled anesthetics. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that, while halothane, isoflurane and pentobarbital could protect mice against NIHL and hair cell damage, inhaled anesthetics were more effective.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 'Anaesthetic post-conditioning', that is administration of anaesthetics during early reperfusion, is known to have positive effects on several organs. For the kidney, however, the effects of post-conditioning by volatile anaesthetics are not well researched. We examined renal function and morphology after post-conditioning by desflurane. METHODS Anaesthetized rats were subjected to 30 or 45 min of renal ischaemia 14 days after contralateral nephrectomy. Post-conditioning was achieved by administration of 1 MAC desflurane (6.7 vol%) for 15 min during early reperfusion (all groups n=8). Cystatin C (CyC), creatinine clearance (Cl(Cr)) and fractional sodium excretion (FE(Na)) were measured in the awake rats over 3 days. Cell damage was graded from 1 to 4 in histological sections. Functional variables [mean (SD)] were compared statistically by a one-way anova followed by Bonferroni's multiple comparison test and histological scores (median and range) by Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn's multiple comparison test. RESULTS Pre-ischaemia function did not differ between the groups, but was markedly reduced after ischaemia. After 30 min ischaemia, the area under the curve (AUC) for Cl(Cr) was smaller in the desflurane than in the control group [21.5 (5.0) vs 31.6 (5.1) ml min(-1) h, P<0.05]. After 45 min desflurane reduced the AUC compared with the control group for both CyC [15 (4) vs 21 (3) mg litre(-1) h] and FE(Na) [1054 (221) vs 1570 (572)% h, both P<0.05). Morphological differences were greater between the 30 min groups [control: 2.75 (2.0-3.5) vs desflurane: 1.5 (1.0-2.5); P<0.05] than between the 45 min groups [control: 3.5 (3.0-4.0) vs desflurane: 3.0 (1.5-4.0)]. CONCLUSION Desflurane post-conditioning protects renal function and tissue. This protection was greater after the short episode than after the long episode of ischaemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The influences of groin incision, duration of ischemia, and the effects of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) on ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury of the hind limb in rabbits were evaluated. DESIGN A prospective study. SETTING Laboratory. PARTICIPANTS In 64 rabbits, bilateral hind limb ischemia was induced by occlusion of the abdominal aorta. Volume changes, neuromuscular function of the hind limb, and creatine kinase (CK) release were measured as variables of tissue injury. INTERVENTIONS Eight rabbits served as untreated controls (CON). In 2 groups (each n = 14), 3 hours of ischemia were followed by 3 hours of reperfusion (I/R). In 2 different groups (each n = 14), 45 minutes of ischemia were followed by 2 hours of reperfusion. To determine effects of PGE1, 1 I/R group of each ischemia duration was treated intravenously with 80 ng/kg/min of PGE1 starting 30 minutes after the onset of ischemia (I/R-PGE1). To determine effects of groin incision on edema formation, volume changes were determined in the "operated" right (CON-R, 3h-R, 3h-PGE1-R and 45 min-R, 45 min-PGE1-R) or in the "nonoperated" left hind limb (CON-L, 3h-L, 3h-PGE1-L and 45 min-L, 45 min-PGE1-L), representing a subgroup analysis. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Volume changes after I/R occurred only in operated legs after ischemia (3h-R: 2.3 +/- 0.3 mL, p < 0.0001 v CON-R and 3h-L; 45 min-R: 0.8 +/- 0.2 mL, p < 0.01 v 45 min-L). PGE1 reduced edema formation in the operated legs (3h-PGE1-R: 1.0 +/- 0.4 mL, p < 0.0001 v 3h-R; 45 min-PGE1-R: 0.5 +/- 0.3 mL, p = 1.0 v 45 min-R). Groin incision without I/R had no effect on edema formation (CON-R: -0.13 +/- 0.17 mL of baseline). The increase of CK release from 616 +/- 584 U/L in controls to 5,921 +/- 2,156 U/L after 3 hours of ischemia (p < 0.001) was attenuated by treatment with PGE1 (3,732 +/- 2,653, p < 0.05 v I/R). Forty-five minutes of ischemia did not lead to cellular damage as measured by CK release (I/R: 606 +/- 364 U/L). Recovery of neuromuscular function was not affected by PGE1. CONCLUSION Development of edema during I/R depends on groin incision of the hind limb and on the duration of ischemia. The I/R injury is attenuated by PGE1 treatment, in terms of reduced edema formation and CK release, but not in terms of neuromuscular function.

Abstract
Reduction of the perioperative cardiovascular risk with pharmacological interventions plays a prominent role in routine anesthesia practice. For example, perioperative beta-blockade is well established in anesthesiological treatment of patients. There is a growing body of evidence supporting the cardioprotective effects of volatile anesthetics known as anesthetic-induced preconditioning. There are numerous and complex data from animal studies. The mechanisms of anesthetic-induced preconditioning have been extensively studied but have still not been clearly identified. Initial clinical data show the cardioprotective effects of volatile agents by looking at parameters of myocardial function and laboratory values and therefore, the question of the relevance of these data for routine clinical practice has been raised. This review gives a summary of the currently available data focusing on the mechanisms of anesthesiological preconditioning and clinical studies.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the effects of ischemic preconditioning (IP) on hydroxyl free radical production in an in vivo rabbit model of regional ischemia and reperfusion. Another goal was to determine whether K(ATP) channels are involved in these effects. The hearts of anesthetized and mechanically ventilated New Zealand White rabbits were exposed through a left thoracotomy. After i.v. salicylate (100 mg/kg) administration, all animals underwent a 30-min stabilization period followed by 40 min of regional ischemia and 2 h of reperfusion. In the IP group, IP was elicited by 5 min of ischemia followed by 10 min of reperfusion (prior to the 40-min ischemia period). Glibenclamide, a K(ATP) channel blocker, was administered prior to the preconditioning stimulus. Infarct size was measured by 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. We quantified the hydroxyl-mediated conversion of salicylate to its 2,3 and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate derivatives during reperfusion by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with electro-chemical detection.IP was evidenced by reduced infarct size compared to control animals: 22% vs. 58%, respectively. Glibenclamide inhibited this cardioprotective effect and infarct size was 53%. IP limited the increase in 2,3 and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid to 24.3 and 23.8% above baseline, respectively. Glibenclamide abrogated this effect and the increase in 2,3 and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid was 94.3 and 85% above baseline levels, respectively, similar to the increase in the control group. We demonstrated that IP decreased the formation of hydroxyl radicals during reperfusion. The fact that glibenclamide inhibited this effect, indicates that K(ATP) channels play a key role in this cardioprotective effect of IP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reactive oxygen species are an important mediator in isoflurane-induced myocardial preconditioning. However, hydroxyl radicals are also released during reperfusion after regional ischaemia. The purpose of the present study was to test whether ischaemic preconditioning and isoflurane would influence the production of hydroxyl radicals during reperfusion. METHODS After i.v. administration of salicylate 100 mg kg(-1) and a 30 min stabilization period, New Zealand White rabbits were subjected to 40 min of regional myocardial ischaemia and 2 h of reperfusion. Ischaemic preconditioning was elicited by 5 min ischaemia followed by 10 min reperfusion (before the 40 min ischaemia). In another group, isoflurane (2.1%) was administered for 30 min, followed by 15 min washout, before the long ischaemia. Area at risk and infarct size were assessed by blue dye injection and tetrazolium chloride staining. We quantified the level of OH-mediated conversion of salicylate to its dihydrobenzoate derivatives (2,3- and 2,5-DHBAs). Normalized values of the DHBAs (ng DHBA per mg salicylate) were calculated. RESULTS Mean (se) infarct size was 57 (6)% of the risk area in the untreated controls. This was significantly smaller in the ischaemic preconditioning and isoflurane groups: 22 (5) and 23 (6)% respectively. At 10 min of reperfusion, ischaemic preconditioning limited the mean increase in 2,3-DHBA to 24% from baseline, compared with 81% in control and 74% in the isoflurane group. Normalized 2,5-DHBA was maximally increased by 75% in the untreated group, 4 min after reperfusion. Ischaemic preconditioning significantly inhibited this increase (24% increase from baseline, P<0.01). However, the increase observed in the isoflurane group was not different from control (71%). CONCLUSIONS As already known, ischaemic preconditioning and isoflurane markedly reduced infarct size. However, only ischaemic preconditioning decreased postischaemic production of hydroxyl radicals. These different effects suggest different protective mechanisms at the cellular level.

Abstract
Lower expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and E-selectin may be responsible for attenuated ischemic-reperfusion neutrophil adhesion to vascular endothelium. Desflurane reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury. Therefore, we assessed whether desflurane affects the protein expression of ICAM-1 and E-selectin and mRNA expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 of human umbilical venous endothelial cells (HUVEC) stimulated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). HUVEC were preconditioned for 60 min with 1 minimum alveolar concentration desflurane before stimulating with TNF-alpha. Protein expression of adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and E-selectin of HUVEC were evaluated via immunocytochemical techniques combined with image cytometry. ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 mRNA expression of HUVEC were determined via reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Desflurane not only reduced the protein expression of ICAM-1 and E-selectin but also ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 mRNA expression of the HUVEC. The adhesion rate of neutrophils with desflurane-treated HUVEC was slower. The decreased neutrophil adhesion on the desflurane-treated HUVEC correlated well with the decrease in adhesion molecule expression. These results show that desflurane affects the expression of adhesion molecules involved in the multistep process of neutrophil recruitment. Desflurane related ischemia-reperfusion injury reduction correlates well with expression inhibition of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and E-selectin that mediates neutrophil rotation and firm adhesion on the vascular endothelium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Isoflurane has been shown to mimic ischaemic preconditioning (IPC). The protective effect of IPC, or applying isoflurane or perfusion with the 'push-pull' complex zinc-desferrioxamine (Zn-DFO) in the canine heart, was investigated. METHODS Thirty minutes after salicylate administration (100 mg kg(-1)) the heart was exposed. All dogs were subjected to a 10 min left anterior descending artery occlusion followed by 2 h of reperfusion. In Group I (n = 9) isoflurane (2.5%) was administered 10 min prior to and during ischaemia. In Group II (n = 8), IPC was elicited by 5 min coronary artery occlusion, followed by 5 min of reperfusion, prior to the 10 min ischaemia. In Group III (n = 9) Zn-DFO (2.5 mg kg(-1)) was given 10 min prior to ischaemia. The effects of these interventions were compared to control (n = 10). Coronary sinus blood concentrations of salicylate, 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA), lactate, pH and oxygen content were monitored. RESULTS In the control group, 2,3-DHBA increased by 32% above the pre-ischaemic value (P < 0.05). In contrast, in the IPC hearts, a significant decrease in the production of 2,3-DHBA was observed (40% lower than baseline, P < 0.01). In the isoflurane group only a 13% (and non-significant) decrease was noticed. In the Zn-DFO group a 33% decrease was found (P < 0.01). The increase in lactate concentrations in the IPC and Zn-DFO groups was significantly smaller than that of control and isoflurane groups. CONCLUSIONS IPC protected the heart against the deleterious effects of reperfusion, possibly by amelioration of the level of oxygen-derived reactive species, and the complete inhibition of reactive hydroxyl radical production. Isoflurane did not prove to be as effective in reducing the free radical damage.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Isoflurane is reported to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury. Lower expression of CD11b may be responsible for attenuated postischemic neutrophil adhesion to vascular endothelium. However, neutrophil adhesion to vascular endothelium is a multistep process involving several selectins and beta(2)-integrins. Therefore, we assessed whether isoflurane affects the activation of the selectins P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) and L-selectin and the beta(2)-integrins CD11a and CD11b. Whole blood was incubated for 60 min with 0.5 or 1 minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration (MAC) isoflurane. After incubation, neutrophils were activated with N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) or phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA). Activation of adhesion molecules was evaluated via flow cytometry, and 1 MAC isoflurane reduced the expression of CD11a in the unstimulated samples. After stimulation with FMLP and PMA, shedding of L-selectin was lower in the presence of isoflurane. Furthermore, 1 MAC isoflurane reduced FMLP-induced activation of CD11a and CD11b compared with unexposed blood samples. These results demonstrate that isoflurane affects the activation of three adhesion molecules involved in the multistep process of neutrophil recruitment. First, isoflurane inhibits the activation of L-selectin, which mediates the neutrophil tethering and rolling on the vascular endothelium. Second, isoflurane attenuates the activation of both beta(2)-integrins-CD11a and CD11b-which mediate firm adhesion and transendothelial migration. IMPLICATIONS Adhesion of neutrophils to endothelial cells in reperfusion injury is mediated by different adhesion molecules. This study indicates that the inhibiting effect of isoflurane on neutrophil recruitment may be mediated by a decreased activation of the L-selectin and by attenuation of the activation of the beta(2)-integrins CD11a and CD11b.

Abstract
Oxygen-centered free radicals cause brain injury associated with trauma and stroke. These reactive oxygen species may be detoxified by endogenous antioxidants, but cell death occurs after antioxidants become depleted. General anesthetics penetrate into brain parenchyma, where they may abrogate oxidative injury to neurons by several mechanisms that prevent the initiation of free radical chain reactions or terminate the propagation of highly reactive radicals. First, general anesthetics may inhibit free radical generation because these drugs slow cerebral utilization of oxygen and glucose, inhibit oxidative metabolism in neutrophils, and prevent redox changes in hemoglobin. Second, antioxidant anesthetics, such as thiopental and propofol, directly scavenge reactive oxygen species and inhibit lipid peroxidation. Finally, anesthetics may prevent the elevation of extracellular glutamate concentration and inhibit the activation of excitatory glutamatergic receptors that augment oxidative stress after ischemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nicorandil, which is an ATP-sensitive K channel opener, has been reported to protect the ischaemic myocardium. However, its interaction with inhalation anaesthetics on the ischaemic myocardium has not been well elucidated. So, we have investigated whether isoflurane or sevoflurane modify the effects of nicorandil on cardiac function and metabolism in the rat heart-lung preparation. METHODS Animals were allocated to 4 groups as follows: Control group, no drug; Nic group, nicorandil; Nic+Iso group, nicorandil and isoflurane; Nic+Sev group, nicorandil and sevoflurane. Seven minutes after the start of perfusion, nicorandil was administered and 10 min after the start of perfusion, the heart was rendered globally ischaemic for 10 min, and then the heart was reperfused for 10 min. RESULTS LVdP/dt max in the Nic group was higher than those in the other groups. Right atrial pressure in the Nic+Iso and Nic+Sev groups was significantly higher than in the Control and Nic groups. Myocardial ATP in the Nic group was higher than in the other groups. DHBA levels in the perfusate in the Nic and Nic+Iso groups were lower than those in the Control and Nic+Sev groups, but those in the Nic+Sev group were higher than those in the other groups. CONCLUSIONS Nicorandil improved post-ischaemic cardiac function and preserved high-energy phosphates. However, these beneficial effects of nicorandil were abolished by the combination with isoflurane or sevoflurane. In addition, sevoflurane increased hydroxyl radical formation in the post-ischaemic reperfused heart.

Abstract
ATP depletion due to ischemia or metabolic inhibition (MI) causes Na(+) and Ca(2+) accumulation in myocytes, which may be in part due to opening of connexin-43 hemichannels. Halothane (H) has been shown to reduce conductance of connexin-43 hemichannels and to protect the heart against ischemic injury. We therefore investigated the effect of halothane on [Ca(2+)]i and [Na(+)]i in myocytes during MI. Isolated rabbit left ventricular myocytes were loaded with 4 microM fluo-3 AM for 30 min, or with 5 microM sodium green AM for 60 min at 37 degrees C. After washing, the myocytes were exposed to: (1) Normal HEPES solution; (2) MI solution (2 mM NaCN, 20 mM 2-deoxy-D-glucose and 0-glucose); or (3) MI+H (0.95 mM, 4.7 mM) for 60 min. Propidium iodide (PI, 25 microM) was added to all samples before data acquisition. The fluorescence intensity was measured by flow cytometry with 488 nm excitation and 530 nm emission for fluo-3 or sodium green, and 670 nm for PI. The [Ca(2+)]i and [Na(+)]i were then calculated by calibration. In some experiments, the effect of 10 microM tetrodotoxin (TTX) and 20 microM nifedipine (NIF) were studied. Metabolic inhibition for 60 min caused a significant increase in [Ca(2+)]i and [Na(+)]i in myocytes when compared to controls, which was significantly reduced by halothane in a dose-dependent fashion. In the presence of TTX and NIF, halothane also significantly reduced the rise in the [Ca(2+)]i and [Na(+)]i in myocytes subjected to MI. 1-heptanol, another gap junction blocker, had similar effects. Thus, halothane reduced [Ca(2+)]i and [Na(+)]i overload produced by MI in myocytes. This effect is not solely due to block of voltage-gated Na(+) and Ca(2+) channels, and is likely mediated by inhibiting the opening of connexin-43 hemichannels.

Abstract
The adenosine triphosphate-dependent potassium (K(ATP)) channel has been proposed to play an important role in the cardioprotective effect of isoflurane (ISO). However, the question of whether the K(ATP) channel, sarcolemmal or mitochondrial is the main contributor to the effect has not been clarified. The major aim of the present study was to determine whether or not the mitochondrial potassium channel was a site of action for ISO. Whether there was an acute "memory phase", in which drugs were not detected in the tissues, but the protective effect still remained in the ischemic preconditioning (IP) -like effect of ISO was also investigated. Dangling participle isolated rat hearts, a 20-min normothermic nonperfused phase was maintained to produce a global ischemia. Under these ischemic conditions, the effects of ISO, sodium 5-hydroxydecanoate (5HD: a selective mitochondrial K(ATP) channel antagonist), and ISO combined with 5HD on cardiac performance were examined. To all these four groups, (non-treated group, ISO group, 5HD group and ISO plus 5HD group, n=6 each) drugs were given for 30 min. After 10 min of drug-free perfusion (pre-ischemia restabilization period), 20 min of ischemia followed. Then the cardiac performance and the creatine kinase (CK) release during the reperfusion period were tested. In the non treated group and 5HD group, cardiac performance was stable during the treated period and pre-ischemia the restabilization period. In the ISO group and ISO plus 5HD group, heart rate (HR), left ventricular (LV) systolic pressure, and LV maximum rate of development of tension (dP/dtMax) during the drug-treated period became gradually and linearly worse. However, these values were the same as in the non-treated group and 5HD group at the end of the pre-ischemia restabilization period. So 5HD itself had no hemodynamic effect; nor did it have any influence on the actions of ISO. At the end of the pre-ischemia restabilization period, the significant hemodynamic differences among the groups diminished and ISO was not detected in the solution. In the post-reperfusion period, except for the ISO group, (non treated group, 5HD group and ISO plus 5HD group) cardiac performances were drastically decreased. ISO significantly ameliorated the dysfunction of cardiac output, LV systolic pressure and LV+dP/dtMax. The CK level in the coronary effluent during reperfusion was also significantly reduced by ISO. 5HD completely inhibited these cardiac effects of ISO. Activation of the adenosine triphosphate sensitive mitochondrial potassium channel is involved in the cardioprotective effect of ISO, and the action of this agent has an acute"memory phase" like ischemic preconditioning.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Adhesion of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) to the coronary endothelium is a crucial step in the development of ischemic myocardial injury. We tested the possible effects of six widely used IV anesthetics on non- and postischemic coronary adhesion of PMN in isolated perfused guinea pig hearts. Hearts (n = 5-11/group) were perfused under conditions of constant coronary flow. After 15 min global warm ischemia, PMN (10(6)) were infused in the second minute of reperfusion. The number of cells reemerging in the coronary effluent within 2 min was expressed as a percentage of the total number of administered PMN. Anesthetics were given 20 min before ischemia and during reperfusion. In addition, the ability of the drugs to influence the oxidative burst reaction of PMN was assessed by measuring luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence in response to 0.1 microM N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine. Under nonischemic conditions, 26.3% +/- 0.5% of the injected PMN did not acutely reemerge from the coronary system. Subjecting the hearts to ischemia augmented retention to 40.0% +/- 1.6% (P < 0.05). This postischemic stimulation of adhesion was fully prevented by ketamine (10 microM: 22.8% +/- 1.6%, 20 microM: 26.6% +/- 0.7%), thiopental (25 microM: 24.0% +/- 1.7%, 50 microM: 24.0% +/- 1.4%), and midazolam (1.5 microM: 29.0% +/- 0.9%, 3 microM: 26.4% +/- 1.4%). Propofol also inhibited the augmented postischemic retention at 25 microM (28.7% +/- 2.4%). However, 50 microM propofol, etomidate (0.5 and 1 microM), and fentanyl (1 microM) all had no effect. Only thiopental reduced the nonischemic adhesion value (14.0% +/- 3.7%). This may be linked to the direct antioxidative action of thiopental (50% reduction in oxidative burst activity). Whereas ketamine, midazolam, and propofol did not significantly influence oxidant production by PMN, etomidate and the lipid solvent Intralipid enhanced the burst reaction. This activating effect of the lipid component could explain the biphasic behavior of propofol emulsion. Despite some possible differences in efficacy, several IV anesthetics may protect the heart from PMN-mediated reperfusion injury. IMPLICATIONS Ketamine, thiopental, and midazolam, but not etomodate or fentanyl, reduce postischemic adhesion of neutrophils in the coronary system of isolated perfused guinea pig hearts, suggesting a role in mitigating myocardial reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Halothane protects the heart against the reperfusion injury observed after an ischemia. In ischemic or anoxic conditions, a large ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) conductance is supposed to provide an endogenous protection to the myocardium. In this study, we tested the possibility that halothane acted by modulating this conductance. Isolated guinea-pig cardiomyocytes were successively studied in current clamp and in voltage-clamp conditions. Action potentials regulation by halothane was tested in control conditions and in situations where the K(ATP) channels were activated. In control conditions, halothane decreased action potential duration of myocytes but did not significantly alter the inward rectifying K(+) current. Conversely, halothane lengthened action potential of cells in which the K(ATP) conductance was activated, by inhibiting the K(ATP) current. In ischemic conditions, simultaneous shortening of long action potentials and lengthening of shortened ones would be expected to homogenize the absolute refractory period at the border between normoxic and anoxic zones. This effect, together with a decrease in calcium load, could protect the myocardium against re-entrant arrhythmias.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether isoflurane, sevoflurane and halothane influenced hydroxyl radical production in the ischemic rat heart. METHODS Twenty-four male Wistar rats were divided into four groups; control (C), isoflurane 1.4% (I), sevoflurane 2.5% (S) and halothane 1% (H). The hearts were perfused with modified Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer by a working heart model for 10 min. Then, whole heart ischemia was induced by severely restricting coronary perfusion for 15 min. Reperfusion of the hearts after this ischemic period lasted for 20 min. The coronary effluent was collected before and during ischemia and at 1, 5, 10, 20 min after reperfusion. At the end of reperfusion, hearts were removed and prepared for measurement. Hydroxyl radicals were identified by their reaction with salicylic acid to yield dihydroxybenzoic acids (DHBAs). RESULTS Before and after ischemia, there were no differences in coronary flow and heart rate among the four groups, but cardiac output and LV dP/dt maximum in the anesthetic groups were lower than in the control group. Hydroxyl radical products in the heart were significantly lower in the I group than the other groups (e.g. C vs I, 278.1 +/- 24.3 vs 219.3 +/- 14.4 microM x g(-1), P < 0.05). The concentrations of DHBAs in the coronary effluent at some points in the I and H groups were less than in the C and S groups. CONCLUSION These results indicate that isoflurane and halothane (to a lesser extent), reduce hydroxyl radical production in the ischemic heart, but sevoflurane does not.

Abstract
Volatile anesthetics, particularly the new generation of agents, have a very rapid onset and offset of action. These properties allow for quick recovery from clinical anesthesia. Because there is additional evidence that these agents have protective effects during myocardial ischemia, there may be advantages for 'fast tracking' patients undergoing coronary revascularization procedures.
