Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass can result in damage to the intestines, leading to the occurrence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Dexmedetomidine is reported to confer anti-inflammatory properties. Here, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the intestinal mucosa barrier damage in a rat model of cardiopulmonary bypass. It was observed that cardiopulmonary bypass greatly decreased the levels of hemodynamic parameters than SHAM group, whereas dexmedetomidine pretreatment in a cardiopulmonary bypass model rat prevented this reduction. Also, it showed that compared with control animals, cardiopulmonary bypass caused obvious mucosal damage, which was attenuated in dexmedetomidine + cardiopulmonary bypass group. The above findings were in line with that of dexmedetomidine pretreatment, which increased the expression of tight junction proteins, but it decreased the levels of DAO, D-LA, FABP2, and endotoxin. Moreover, the results demonstrated that due to pre-administration of dexmedetomidine, the level of pro-inflammatory factors was decreased, while the level of anti-inflammatory cytokine was increased. Also, it showed that dexmedetomidine suppressed TLR4/JAK2/STAT3 pathway that was activated by cardiopulmonary bypass. Together, these results revealed that dexmedetomidine pretreatment relieves intestinal microcirculation, attenuates intestinal damage, and inhibits the inflammatory response of cardiopulmonary bypass model rats, demonstrating that in CPB-induced damage of intestinal mucosal barrier function, dexmedetomidine pretreatment plays a protective role by inactivating TLR4/JAK2/STAT3-mediated inflammatory pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allyphenyline, a novel α2-adrenoceptor (AR) ligand, has been shown to selectively activate α2C-adrenoceptors (AR) and 5HT1A receptors, but also to behave as a neutral antagonist of α2A-ARs. We exploited this unique pharmacological profile to analyze the role of α2C-ARs and 5HT1A receptors in the regulation of gastric mucosal integrity and gastrointestinal motility. METHODS Gastric injury was induced by acidified ethanol in Wistar rats. Mucosal catalase and superoxide dismutase levels were measured by assay kits. The effect of allyphenyline on electrical field stimulation (EFS)-induced fundic and colonic contractions was determined in C57BL/6 mice. RESULTS Intracerebroventricularly injected allyphenyline (3 and 15 nmol/rat) dose dependently inhibited the development of mucosal damage, which was antagonized by ARC 239 (α2B/C-AR and 5HT1A receptor antagonist), (S)-WAY 100135 (selective 5HT1A receptor antagonist), and JP-1302 (selective α2C-AR antagonist). This protection was accompanied by significant elevation of mucosal catalase and superoxide dismutase levels. Allyphenyline (10(-9)-10(-5) M) also inhibited EFS-induced fundic contractions, which was antagonized by ARC 239 and (S)-WAY 100135, but not by JP-1302. Similar inhibition was observed in the colon; however, in this case only ARC 239 reduced this effect, while neither selective inhibition of α2C-ARs and 5HT1A receptors nor genetic deletion of α2A- and α2B-ARs influenced it. CONCLUSIONS Activation of both central α2C-ARs and 5HT1A receptors contributes to the gastroprotective action of allyphenyline in rats. Its inhibitory effect on fundic contractions is mediated by 5HT1A receptors, but neither α2-ARs nor 5HT1A receptors take part in its inhibitory effect on colonic contractility in mice.

Abstract
The role of α(2)-adrenoceptors in regulation of gastric motility has been well documented. However, only few data are available on the adrenoceptor subtype that mediates this effect. The purpose of the present work was to identify the α(2)-adrenoceptor subtype(s) responsible for the inhibition of gastric motor activity in isolated fundus strip of the mouse. It was shown that (i) the electrically evoked contraction of the gastric fundus strip of the mouse was inhibited by the non-selective α(2)-adrenoceptor stimulant clonidine (EC(50): 0.019±0.001μM), the α(2A)-adrenoceptor subtype selective agonist oxymetazoline (EC(50): 0.004±0.001μM) and the α(2B)-adrenoceptor subtype preferring ST-91 (EC(50): 0.029±0.004μM), (ii) the inhibitory effect of clonidine (1μM), oxymetazoline (0.1μM) and ST-91 (1μM) on the contractions of gastric fundus strip was reversed by the non-selective α(2)-adrenoceptor antagonist idazoxan and α(2A)-adrenoceptor antagonist BRL 44408, but not by the α(2B/2C)-adrenoceptor antagonist ARC-239. (iii) Clonidine and ST-91 inhibited the electrically induced gastric contractions in C57BL/6 wild type mice as well as in α(2B)- and α(2C)-adrenoceptor deficient mice in a concentration-dependent manner; however, neither of them was effective in α(2A)-deficient mice. As a conclusion, it was first demonstrated that the inhibitory effect of α(2)-adrenoceptor agonists on the gastric motor activity of isolated stomach strip of the mouse is mediated purely by α(2A)-adrenoceptors.

Abstract
The effect of clonidine on ethanol-induced gastric mucosal damage, gastric emptying and gastric motility was compared. The clonidine-induced gastroprotective effect (0.03-0.09 micromol/kg, s.c.) was antagonised by yohimbine (5 micromol/kg, s.c.), prazosin (0.23 micromol/kg; alpha2B-adrenoceptor antagonist) and naloxone (1.3 micromol/kg, s.c.). Clonidine also inhibited the gastric emptying of liquid meal (0.75-3.75 micromol/kg, s.c.) and gastric motor activity (0.75 micromol/kg, i.v.) stimulated by 2-deoxy-D-glucose (300 mg/kg, i.v.). Inhibition of gastric emptying and motility was reversed by yohimbine (5 and 10 micromol/kg, s.c., respectively), but not by prazosin (0.23 micromol/kg, s.c.) or naloxone (1.3 micromol/kg, s.c.). Oxymetazoline-an alpha2A-adrenoceptor agonist-inhibited both gastric emptying (0.67-6.8 micromol/kg, s.c.) and motility (0.185-3.4 micromol/kg, i.v.), whereas it failed to affect gastric mucosal lesions. The results indicate that in contrast to the gastroprotective effect, which is mediated by alpha2B-adrenoceptor subtype, alpha2A-adrenoceptor subtype may be responsible for inhibition of gastric emptying and motility. However, the site of action (central, peripheral, both) remains to be established.
