骨折对大鼠凝血指标的影响

Wistar大鼠160只,随机分为8组,正常对照组、6h组、12h组、24 h组、3d组、5d组、7d组、14d组,每组各20只,除对照组外其他各组大鼠均手术使其一侧后肢股骨粉碎性骨折,各时段组大鼠采血测凝血指标:凝血酶原时间(PT)、凝血活酶时间(TT)、纤维蛋白原(FBG)后取患肢血管做病理学检查.两项检查结果表明,大鼠粉碎性骨折后,12 h至3d内的时间段是肢体深静脉血栓(DVT)形成的关键期,此后进入静脉血栓脱落导致肺栓塞的危险期,在骨折前或骨折后的前3d采取积极措施预防DVT可取得较理想的效果.动态监测创伤骨折大鼠凝血指标的变化,对早期预防创伤后深静脉血栓形成具有诊断价值.     

Effects of puerarin on apelin-12, angiotensin II,NO and blood pressure in renovascular hypertensive rat

AIM: To investigate the effects of puerarin on blood pressure in renovascular hypertensive rats, and to measure puerarin-induced changes of apelin-12, angiotensin II (Ang II) and nitric oxide(NO), the factors related to development of hypertension. METHODS: Sixty-five male Sprague-Dawley rats were used, of which 8 rats were randomly selected as sham operation group, and the remaining were used to make two-kidney, one-clip model. The rats that met the criterion for Goldblatt hypertensive rat model were randomly allocated into 5 groups: high-, middle- and low-dose puerarin groups, captopril group, and model group. The drugs were administered for 6 weeks. Blood pressure was measured every 2 weeks. Six weeks after treatment, all rats were sacrificed under deep anesthesia. Blood and kidney samples were collected. The level of apelin-12 in serum and kidneys was detected by ELISA. The level of Ang II in plasma and kidneys was measured by radioimmunoassay. NO level in serum was examined by nitrate reductase assay. RESULTS: Puerarin had an antihypertensive effect in a dose-dependent manner. Marked decreases in the level of serum apelin-12 in high- and middle-dose puerarin groups were observed(P<0.01). Puerarin at low dose did not cause obvious change in the content of apelin but still reached significant level (P<0.05). As the dose of puerarin went up, the level of apelin-12 in the kidneys was gradually decreased. Puerarin at high and middle doses obviously reduced the level of AngII in plasma, while purarin at low dose did not produce any significant effects. Puerarin at high and middle doses markedly increased the level of NO in serum, but puerarin at low dose did not induce any significant changes. CONCLUSION: Puerarin has an antihypertensive effect, and its mechanism may be related to inducing the changes of apelin, Ang II and NO, and regulating the balance among those factors.

Can supplemental food increase winter survival of a threatened cottontail rabbit?

Populations of New England cottontails (Sylvilagus transitionalis) have declined substantially in recent decades in response to habitat loss and fragmentation. Among some remnant populations, cottontails occupy small patches of thicket habitat where they experience high mortality rates as a consequence of limited food during winter. This limitation causes rabbits to forage away from cover where they are exposed to predators. Although conservation efforts are emerging to reverse the decline of New England cottontails, most are directed toward improving long-term viability by increasing the abundance of suitable habitats. Such efforts do little to improve the short-term survival of remaining cottontails. To address this immediate need, we evaluated the use of supplemental food as an approach to improve overwinter survival rates. We speculated that by positioning feeders in close proximity to escape cover, rabbits would be less vulnerable to predators. We evaluated this approach using eastern cottontails (Sylvilagus floridanus) as a research surrogate because this species is readily available and has similar habitat requirements to New England cottontails. Transmitter-equipped eastern cottontails were randomly assigned to either a fed or unfed group. Remotely-triggered cameras were also used to gauge use of feeders by cottontails and visits by other species. Winter survival rates were substantially greater for fed rabbits (70%) than for unfed rabbits (32%). Cameras revealed that rabbits were the most frequent consumer and that there was only limited carnivore activity near feeders. We conclude that supplemental feeding may improve survival of remaining New England cottontails as efforts to increase habitat availability continue to develop.     

IFN-γR和ER在大鼠下丘脑中的共存

为了探讨神经-免疫-内分泌网络中生物活性物质间相互调节和平衡的关系,本试验应用免疫组化双标记法对成年SD雌性大鼠下丘脑中IFN-γ受体（IFN-γR）和雌激素受体（ER）的共表达进行了研究。结果发现,IFN-γR和ER广泛存在于大鼠下丘脑中,其中在视前交叉上核、视前内侧核、室周核、交叉上核、下丘脑前核、下丘脑内侧核、下丘脑外侧核、乳头体前背侧核、乳头体前腹侧核等13个核团中存在大量的IFN-γR和ER双标记细胞,双标记细胞约占全部阳性标记细胞的60．9％;双标记细胞胞质呈黑褐色、胞核呈棕黄色;ER单标着色细胞以神经胶质细胞居多。研究结果表明,IFN-γ和雌激素可以分别以其各自受体为介质进行信号传递和信息整合,同时也通过在同一细胞中的相互作用而参与机体的神经-免疫-内分泌调节。     

Evaluation of bone toxicity in various bones of aged rats

The aim of the present study was to provide a method for evaluating bone toxicity induced by drugs in various bones in aged rats. Male Crl:CD (SD) rats at 46 weeks of age were administered 15 mg/m(2) body surface area of doxorubicin, which effects the growth plate in weanling rats, weekly for 9 weeks by intravenous injection, and the femur, sternum, humerus and tibia were examined histopathologically. In the doxorubicin-treated group, thinning of the growth plate was remarkably observed in the proximal tibia and humerus; however, these changes were not observed in other regions. In addition, the osteoclast number per bone perimeter in the proximal tibia was significantly higher than others in control aged rat. Thus, recognizing the various histological reactions related to the time of epiphyseal closure is important for evaluating bone toxicity in aged rats.     

Growth pattern and partial proteome of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis during the stress response to hypoxia and nutrient starvation

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis is an important pathogen that causes Johne's disease in animals and has been implicated in Crohn's disease in man yet few data exist on its physiological adaptation in either the host or the environment. In this study, the proteomic responses of the two distinct strains of M. a. paratuberculosis, cattle (C) and sheep (S), to hypoxia and starvation were studied in vitro. Nutrient starvation inhibited growth of both strains and was lethal for S strain after 12 weeks. Hypoxia induced a state of very low metabolic activity but rapid resuscitation occurred upon restoration of an aerobic atmosphere, consistent with the dormancy response of other mycobacteria. A total of 55 protein spots differentially expressed in response to starvation and/or hypoxic stress in one or both strains were identified from 2D gels and classified based on biological function. Antioxidant enzymes, oxidoreducatse enzymes and proteins involved in amino acid metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, ATP and purine biosynthesis, proteolysis, cell wall synthesis, protein synthesis, signal recognition and hypothetical proteins with putative functions including dormancy response regulators and universal stress proteins were identified. These proteins are potential screening targets for future diagnosis, prevention and control of M. a. paratuberculosis infection and their identification will assist understanding the pathogenesis of diseases caused by this organism.     

不同灭菌方法对实验动物配合颗粒饲料营养成分的影响

探讨不同的灭菌条件,对实验动物配合颗粒饲料(鼠料)中营养成分的影响。采用不同时间的高压蒸汽(121℃、0.14 MPa)(蒸汽灭菌)和不同剂量的60 Co-γ射线照射(照射灭菌)对鼠料灭菌,依据国标做细菌培养,观察灭菌条件及效果,并对鼠料进行营养成分的测定。结果表明,20 min蒸汽灭菌和20.0 kGy剂量60 Co-γ射线照射时细菌培养为阴性;蒸汽灭菌比照射灭菌更容易造成营养成分的破坏,两种方法差异显著(P<0.05),且不同时间下水分、粗蛋白、粗脂肪、赖氨酸、蛋氨酸、胱氨酸、苏氨酸、异亮氨酸及维生素的损失都有显著差异(P<0.05),矿物质除铁外损失无显著差异(P>0.05);不同剂量照射下,各种营养成分的损失差异不显著(P>0.05)。鼠料消毒灭菌的适宜条件为20 min蒸汽灭菌或20.0 kGy照射灭菌;蒸汽灭菌对鼠料的营养成分影响较大,而照射灭菌则影响较小。     

富硒麦芽对二乙基亚硝胺诱发大鼠肝癌血管生成的影响

试验选择雄性SD大鼠100只,体重100~120 g,随机分成3组。试验Ⅰ组日粮中添加富硒麦芽（SEM）使硒含量达到3.0 mg/kg;试验Ⅱ组为模型组;试验Ⅲ组为阴性对照组,不诱癌不加SEM;试验Ⅱ、Ⅲ日粮中分别添加亚硒酸钠使硒含量达到0.1 mg/kg。试验Ⅰ、Ⅱ组饮水中添加100 mg/L二乙基亚硝胺（diethylnitrosamine,DEN）诱癌,维持DEN摄入量每天约10 mg/kg体重,连续16周,然后改饮普通灭菌水至18周末。试验Ⅲ组始终以普通灭菌水自由饮用。18周末,处死大鼠。利用免疫组织化学法分析大鼠肝肿瘤微血管密度（microvessel density,MVD）和血管内皮生长因子（VEGF）的表达。结果表明,SEM组MVD和VEGF表达较模型组显著降低。因此,表明SEM对肝肿瘤血管生成有抑制作用,下调VEGF表达可能是其抑制肿瘤血管生成的主要机理之一。
