Abstract：Objective To investigate effect of hypertonic-hyperoncotic solution (HHS, namely 4.5 g/ml NaCl plus 6.0 g/ml hydroxyethyl starch) on brain protection in rabbits with pulmonary trauma combined with hemorrhagic shock and the possible mechanism. Methods Thirty New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into control group (Group A), lactated Ringer’s solution (LRS) treatment group (Group B) and HHS treatment group (Group C), with 10 rabbits per group. Models of pulmonary trauma with hemorrhagic shock were established in Groups B and C. Later, fluid resuscitation, including LRS at 3-fold the volume of blood loss and HHS at dose of 5 ml/kg, was respectively given for Groups B and C at 60 minutes after shock. Rabbits in each group were sacrificed at 4 hours after resuscitation for brain tissue harvest. Evan blue exudation in the parietal cortex of rabbit brain in each group was observed by fluorescence microscope. Brain water content was weighed and calculated. Neuron apoptosis was tested by TUNEL method. Expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins were detected by Western blot. Results Group B showed massive exudation of Evan blue, notable increase of brain water content, large apoptosis of neurons, up-regulation of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins, but a decline of Bcl-2 to Bax ratio, as compared with Group A (P< 0.01). However, Group C showed significant decrease regarding Evan blue exudation, brain water content and apoptotic neurons, and significant increase of ratio of Bcl-2 and Bax, as compared with Group B (P< 0.05). Conclusion HHS improves blood brain barrier, inhibits neuron apoptosis and thus protects brain function.
