  • Effects of 11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid on reperfusion arrhythmias in the immature rabbit hearts

    Objective To improve the myocardial protection result, observe the effects of 11,12 epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (11,12 EET) on reperfusion arrhythmias in the isolated perfused immature rabbit hearts, which underwent long term preservation. Methods Sixteen isolated rabbit hearts were randomly assigned to two groups, 8 rabbits each group. Control group: treated with St.Thomas Ⅱ solution, experimental group: treated with St.Thomas Ⅱ solution plus 11,12 EET. By means of the Langendorff technique, these isolated rabbit hearts were arrested and stored for 16 hours with 4℃ hypothermia, and underwent 30 minutes of reperfusion(37℃). The mean times until the cessation of both electrical and mechanical activity were measured after infusion of cardioplegia. The heart rate (HR), coronary flow (CF), myocardial water content (MWC), value of creatine kinase (CK) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), myocardial calcium content and the arrhythmias score (AS) during the period and at the endpoint of the reperfusion were observed. Results The times until electrical and mechanical activity arrest in the experimental group were significantly shorter than those in control group ; HR, CF, MWC, CK, LDH, myocardial calcium content and AS were significantly better than those in control group. Conclusions These data suggest that 11,12 EET added to the cardioplegic solution of St.Thomas Ⅱ has lower incidence rate of reperfusion arrhythmias.

  • Expression of Fas and Fas ligand and cell apoptosis in the ischemia/reperfusion-induced retina and therapeutic effects of basic fibroblast growth factor

    Objctive To explore the relationship between the expression of Fas/FasL and the apoptosis occurs in retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury of rats , as well as the therapeutic effects of bFGF on the ischemic retina.Methods Th emodels of retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury was made by transient elevating introcular pressure. A total of 28 rats were divided into normal and operation group.The latter were subdivided into 1 hour, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after reperfusion group, in which the left eyes of the rats were in the ischemia/reper fusion groups and the right ones were in the treatment groups (bFGF intracameral injection). Apoptosis was assessed by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labelling (TUNEL) method, and the expression of Fas and Fas ligand was studied by strept avidin-biotin complex (SABC)immunohistochemistry. Results No positive cells were observed in the normal rats′retinae, but there was a significant number of TUNEL positive cells in 6-24 hours after transient ischemia followed by a decrease at the 48th hour. The number of TUNEL positive cells reached a maximum at the 24th hour after ischemia. The expression of Fas gradually increased as early as when it was at the 6th hour, reached a peak at the 24th hour, and then decreased at the 48th hour. Similarly, the expression of Fas ligand was at peak in 24-48 hours in GCL and INL of retina. Conclusions Retinal ischemia-reperfusion after transient elevated IOP induced apoptosis of cells in the retina. Fas/FasL may play an important role in the early events of the apoptotic pathways. bFGF can rescue RGCs from retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury through downregulation of the expression of Fas/FasL and may represent an important mechanism for therapeutic neuroprotection.

  • Effect of β-estradiol on glutamate concentration in retina injured by ischemic reperfusion

    Objective:To observe the effect of beta;estradiol on gluta mate concentration in rabbitsprime; retinae injured by ischemic reperfusion. Methods:Twenty r abbits ware randomly divided into two groups, the control group and the treatmen t group, with 10 rabbits in each group. Before examined by binocular flash elect roretinography (FERG), retinal ischemic reperfusion (RIR) model was induced in t h e right eyes of all the rabbits by increasing intraocular pressure to 120 mm Hg for 60 minutes; the left eyes were as the control eyes. The rabbits were hypoder mically injected with beta;estradiol (0.1 mg/kg) in treatment group and with phys i ological saline in the control group 2 hours before ischemia. The results of FER G of the right eyes in both of the 2 groups 0, 4, 8, and 24 hours after reperfus ion were record respectively and were compared with the results of FERG before r eperfusion. The retina tissue was collected after the last time of FERG. The con c entration of glutamate was detected by Hitachi L8800 amino acid analyzer. Results:In the right eyes in both of the 2 groups, the result of F ERG showed a beeli ne just after reperfusion. There was no significant difference of awave amplit u de between the 2 groups (t=1.357, 0.798, 0.835; Pgt;0.05); the b wave amplitudes i n experimental group were much higher than those in the control group (t=4.447, 2.188, 3.106; Plt;0.01). The concentration of glutamate in retina was (0.265plusmn;0.014) g/L in the right eyes and (0.207plusmn;0.013) g/L in the left eyes in the control group, and (0.231plusmn;0.007) g/L in the right eyes and (0.203plusmn;0 .014) g/L in the le ft eyes in the treatment group; the difference between the 2 groups was signific ant (F=50.807, P=0.000). There was statistical difference between righ t and left eyes both in the 2 groups and the significant difference of the right eyes betw een the two groups was also found (P=0.000); there was no statistical diffe rence of the left eyes between the 2 groups (P=0.505). Conclusion:beta;-estradiol may prevent the increase of the concentration of glutamate in retina induced by RIR to protect retinal tissue.

  • PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF CONDITIONED MEDIUM FROM ASTROCYTES TRANSFECTED WITH TELOMERASE REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE ON HYPOXIA-ISCHEMIA NEURONS

    Objective Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) is the key factor to determine cell growth and l ifespan. Meanwhile, it is tightly related to resistance of cell to stress and apoptosis. However, up till now l ittle is known about the role TERT plays in nervous system. To investigate the effect of conditioned medium from astrocytes (AS) transfected with TERT on neurons subjected to hypoxia-ischemia-reperfusion (HI-RP) through construction of in vitro HI-RP model of neurons. Methods An eukaryote expression plasmids containing rat full length TERT gene was constructed as pcDNA3-TERT. Twenty newborn rats at age of 3 days were sacrificed and their cerebral cortex were collected for isolation and cultivationof AS. Then AS were transfected with pcDNA3-TERT through l iposomes mediation, and positive clones were selected by G418 and expanded for continuous culture to establ ish the plamid pcDNA3-TERT transfection group. Meanwhile, the empty plasmid pcDNA3 transfection group and the non-transfection group were establ ished as control. The expression of gl ial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), which was the specific marker of the AS, was detected by immunocytochemistry, as well as the expression of TERT. Astrocyte conditioned medium (ACM) of the plamid pcDNA3-TERT transfection group was collected as TERT-ACM, while the ACM of the empty plasmid pcDNA3 transfection group and the non-transfection group were collected respectively as p-ACM and ACM. Next, 60 rats at age of 1 day were sacrificed and their cerebral cortex were collected for isolation and cultivation of neurons. The neurons were randomly divided into experimental group and normal group, the experimental group were further divided into 4 groups including control group, ACM group, p-ACM group, and TERT-ACM group. The neurons of control group were subjected to HI damage in serum-free DMEM, and the neurons of ACM group, p-ACM group, and TERTACM group were subjected to HI damage in different medium which contained ACM, p-ACM, and TERT-ACM, respectively. After duration of HI for 3 hours under the environment with 5%CO2, 1%O2, and 94%N2; the neurons of experimental groups were placed in CO2 incubator to imitate RP for 3, 6, 18, 24, and 36 hours in vitro. The neurons of normal group were not subjected to HI and RP treatment. During the treatment of HI-RP, the survival ratio of neurons was detected by means of MTT, the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity of neuron medium with LDH detection kit, and the neuronal apoptosis by means of TUNEL. Results The percentages of GFAP positive cells were 98%, 99%, and 98% in non-transfection group, plasmid pcDNA3-TERT transfection group, and plasmid pcDNA3 transfection group, respectively. There was no expression of TERT in no-transfection group and plasmid pcDNA3 transfection group, and the percentage of TERT positive cells in plasmid pcDNA3- TERT transfection group was 98%. Compared with normal group, the survival ratio of ......(余见正文)

  • Relationship Between The Changes of Hepatic Blood Flow Detected by Using Spectral Doppler Ultrasound and Serum TNF-α and IL-1 β Levels after Liver Ischemia/Reperfusion of Rat

    Objective To discuss the relationship between the changes of hepatic blood flow detected by usingspectral Doppler ultrasound and serum TNF- α and IL-1 β levels after liver ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) of rat. Methods The hepatic ischemia 15 min and reperfusion models were established by using pringle method. The hepatic blood flow of hepatic artery and portal vein at 1, 6, and 24 hours after liver I/R were detected by using spectral Doppler ultrasound, the total blood flow volume (FV) was calculated, and the serum TNF- α and IL-1 β levels at each time point were detected. The correlation between the TNF-α, IL-1 β, and FV were analyzed. Results The FV at 1 hour and 6 hours after reperfusion in I/R group were less than those in sham operation (SO) group 〔(52.08±11.88) mL/min vs. (85.32±29.85) mL/min and (44.69±8.75)mL/min vs. (81.41±28.67) mL/min, P<0.05〕. The FV at 24 hours after operation or reperfusion of 2 groups was no significant differences (P>0.05). The serum content of TNF-α at 1 hour after reperfusion in I/R group was higher than that in SO group 〔(310.52±39.83)pg/mL vs. (240.74±31.65)pg/mL, P<0.05〕. The serum contents of TNF-α at 6 and 24 hours after operation or reperfusion of 2 groups were no significant differences (P>0.05). The serum contents of IL-1β at 1 hour and 6 hours in I/R group were higher than those in SO group 〔(38.08±3.73) pg/mLvs. (22.03±0.79) pg/mL and (27.44±6.11) pg/mL vs. (21.78±0.71) pg/mL, P<0.05〕. The serum content of IL-1β at 24 hours after operation or reperfusion of 2 groups was no significant differences (P>0.05). There was a negative correlation between the FV and TNF-α or IL-1β (r=-0.43, P<0.05;r=-0.46, P<0.05). Conclusions Spectral Doppler ultrasound can observe the changes of hepatic blood flow and evaluate the hepatic microcirculation indirectly. The hepatic blood flow after liver I/R decreases and it may be related to over expression of TNF-α and IL-1β.

  • Recent research progress on the role of Hippo-Yap signaling pathway in retinal diseases

    The classical Hippo pathway leads to the phosphorylation of downstream effector molecules Hippo-Yes-associated protein (Yap) and transcriptional coactivator PDZ-binding motif (Taz) serine sites through a kinase response, thereby promoting cell proliferation, controlling cell polarity, changing cytoskeleton, it plays an important regulatory role in various pathophysiological processes such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition and inhibition of cell contact. Studies have shown that Yap/Taz can affect the progression of vitreoretinal diseases, opening up new prospects for the pathogenesis and clinical treatment of diabetic retinopathy, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, and retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Exploring the molecular mechanism of Yap/Taz provides a possible therapeutic target for future research in the treatment of retinal fibrosis diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and proliferative vitreoretinopathy. At the same time, regulating the activity of local Yap/Taz in the retina will also become an effective therapeutic target for damage-repair in retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, Yap inhibitors have potential retinal toxicity and are still in the preclinical development stage. Further research on the mechanism of action and clinical safety of Yap inhibitors will provide new methods for the treatment of retinal diseases.

  • Polymorphonuclear Cells Infiltration and Early Activity of Nuclear Factorkappa B in Empirical Study of Lung Injury in Deep Hypothermia and Circulatory Arrest

    Abstract: Objective To investigating the variance of nuclear factorkappa B(NF-κB),inflammatory factor and polymorphonuclear cells(PMNs) in lung, our study infer the role of PMNs infiltration and early activity of NF-κB in empirical study of lung injury in deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest. Our study also guess the possible mechanism of action in order to provide a more excellent program for lung protection. Methods Twelve immature pigs were randomly divided into two groups,there are six pigs in each group,one group was normothermic parallel circulation(control group),the other was deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest(DHCA, experimental group),we obtain lung tissue and venous blood from pigs to measure the variances of NF-κB by immunohistochemistry and inflammatory factor by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) at different time. Results The expression of NF-κB of the lung tissue specimen was negative before parallel circulation in both groups, there was no brown dyed cell nucleus and the variation was no statistically difference in two groups. The expression of NF-κB reached it‘s peak at half an hour of ischemia reperfusion, and most of the brown dyed cell nucleus were PMNs, then the expression of NF-κB decreased in the experimental group. The lung tissue specimens were all weakly negative at the time points after parallel circulation and there was no statistical difference among them. But the content of inflammatory factor increased gradually from half an hour of ischemia reperfusion to two hour of ischemia reperfusion, which reached their peak at two hour of ischemia reperfusion.There was significance variances at the content of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) at one hour of ischemia reperfusion, while at one and a half hour of ischemia reperfusion. There was significance variance at the content of interleukin-8 and interleukin-6 in the experimental group. While in the control group, there was statistically difference before and after parallel circulation, but there was no statistically difference among the time points after parallel circulation. Conclusion The early activity of NF-κB may have an important role in lung injury of DHCA,treatments aim directly at NF-κB may provide an important strategy for lung injury of DHCA.
