Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Propofol and Sevoflurane affect the oxidative stress and apoptosis status in children undergoing hypospadias repair surgery.

Experimental: Sevoflurane General anesthesia Anesthesia was induced with 8% sevoflurane with 8L/min oxygen. Anesthesia was maintained with 1-3% sevoflurane in oxygen/air mixture. |
Drug: Sevoflurane
|
Experimental: Propofol General anesthesia Anesthesia was induced with propofol 4mg/kg. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol 7-12mg/kg/h. |
Drug: Propofol

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- the change of blood glutathione peroxidase(GPx) level in perioperative period [immediately after anesthetic induction, 2h and 3 days after operation]
- the change of blood-separated erythrocytes superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities in perioperative period [immediately after anesthetic induction, 2h and 3 days after operation]
the blood sample was separated and erythrocytes was obtained, superoxide dismutase activity was measured using a commercially available assay-Ransod kit (Randox Laboratories, UK).
- the change of blood-separated erythrocytes catalase (CAT) activities in perioperative period [immediately after anesthetic induction, 2h and 3 days after operation]
the blood sample was separated and erythrocytes was obtained, catalase activity was measured using the OxiSelect catalase activity assay (Cell Biolabs, San Diego, CA, USA)
- the change of blood-separated lymphocytes caspase-3 mRNA level in perioperative period [immediately after anesthetic induction, 2h and 3 days after operation]
Lymphocytes were separated from whole blood and freshly used for real-time PCR of caspase-3
