The study was aimed at the detection of endothelial factors contribution and nitric monoxide produced by constitutional and inducible NO-synthase in regulation of Ca-activated potassium channels activity of high conductivity in immobilization stress. The experiments were conducted in isolated rat-female hearts after retrograde perfusion with Krebs-Henseleit solution bubbled with 95% O2, 5% CO2 at 37 degrees C. To study BK(Ca)-channels role in the regulation of coronary vessels tone and contractile myocardial function BK(Ca)-channel blocker tetraethylammonium (ImM/l concentration) (Sigma, USA) was added in perfused solution. The obtained results justify: firstly, the non-selective blockade of constitutional and inducible NO-synthase L-NAME accompanied by the reduction of coronary flow volume velocity to control values level in the group of animals underwent to stress; second, selective blocker of inducible NO-synthase S-methylisotiourea completely eliminates evoked by stress hypotonia of cardiac vessels and reduction of contractile activity of left ventricle in stressed rats; thirdly, stress reduces the functional activity of Ca-activated potassium channels and the removal of endothelium or blockade of nitric monoxide completely it restores.

Joubert syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, which is characterized by absence or underdevelopment of the cerebellar vermis and severe developmental delay. The other common features include ataxia, an abnormal breathing pattern, abnormal eye movements and hypotonia. We report the anesthetic management in a 13-year-old girl with Joubert syndrome, scheduled for cauterization of nasal mucosa under general anesthesia. She had episodes of tachypnea and apnea. Oral midazolam 10 mg and famotidine 20 mg were administered 30 min before surgery. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with sevoflurane and nitrous oxide in oxygen. Vecuronium 2 mg was used to facilitate tracheal intubation. Mechanical ventilation was performed with a low ventilation setting of respiratory rate 5 beats x min(-1) and peak inspiratory pressure 9 cm H2O to maintain normal end-tidal CO2. Flurbiprofen axetil 30 mg was administered intravenously for analgesia, because opioids are not recommended. After reversal of muscle relaxation by atropin 0.5 mg and neostigmine 1.5 mg, her trachea was extubated. She did not develop postoperative apnea. In this patient with Joubert syndrome, midazolam, sevoflurane, nitrous oxide and flurbiprofen axetil were used without any complications.
