氨基酸铁在大鼠小肠中的吸收及组织中沉积研究

本试验用50日龄Wistar纯系雄性大鼠,采用体内原位结扎肠段灌注技术和放射性同位素示踪技术,研究了氯基酸螯合铁(以赖氨酸螯合铁和甘氨酸螯合铁为代表)的吸收特点。试验中观察了向结扎肠段灌注含不同形态铁的吸收液后,不同时间点(5、15、30、60、90、120分钟)血液中59Fe比放射性的动态变化;120分钟(试验结束)时不同组织器官中59Fe的放射性大小和总铁含量以及主要血液学指标的变化。试验结果表明:①赖氨酸和甘氨酸都能促进大鼠对铁的吸收。②与相应摩尔浓度的氨基酸与氯化亚铁的混合物相比,赖氨酸螯合铁和甘氨酸螯合铁能更有效地被大鼠吸收。综合分析本试验结果认为,氨基酸螯合铁都是一种优秀的铁添加剂。从本试验结果看,放射性同位素示踪技术结合结扎十二指肠段灌注技术不失为一种研究动物对微量元素吸收情况的理想试验手段。

酵母多糖对环磷酰胺所致免疫损伤大鼠的拮抗作用

为研究酵母多糖(YP)对环磷酰胺(CTX)所致免疫损伤大鼠的拮抗作用,本实验将80只雄性SD大鼠随机分为YP(50 mg/kg)+CTX组、YP(100 mg/kg)+CTX组、YP(200 mg/kg)+CTX组、CTX对照组和正常对照组。YP+CTX组按剂量灌胃并称重,CTX和正常对照组则灌胃给予等量生理盐水,连续给药10 d;在第8 d、9 d,除正常对照组外,其余4组腹腔注射CTX 100 mg/kg。第11 d采血及对相关的免疫器官组织进行检测。结果显示,YP(100 mg/kg)组平均日增重和饲料报酬比正常对照组显著增加(p<0.05);胸腺指数,血清中IgA、IgG、表皮生长因子(EGF)、碱性磷酸酶(AKP)含量及空肠SIgA水平显著(p<0.05)或极显著(p<0.01)高于CTX对照组;结肠壁中前列腺素E2(PGE2)含量与CTX对照组相比显著降低(p<0.05)。以上结果表明,YP能提高大鼠的生长性能;YP对CTX所致免疫损伤具有一定的拮抗保护作用,其中100 mg/kg剂量的YP效果最为显著。     

多药耐药相关蛋白2在健康和大肠杆菌感染SD大鼠肝脏和肠组织中的定位及mRNA表达水平

本研究旨在探讨多药耐药相关蛋白2(MRP2)在健康和感染大肠杆菌的SD大鼠肝脏、十二指肠、空肠、回肠和结肠中的分布特点和mRNA表达水平.选用健康成年SD大鼠20只,随机分成健康对照组和大肠杆菌感染组,采用免疫组织化学和荧光定量PCR的方法检测了MRP2在大鼠肝脏和肠组织中的定位与表达.结果显示:MRP2在健康和感染大鼠不同组织中均有分布,主要见于肝脏的胆管面(肝脏毛细胆管的细胞膜)、肝脏门静脉区和各肠段的肠黏膜层,但蛋白表达水平不同.健康组大鼠MRP2在肝脏毛细胆管的细胞膜分布比门静脉区附近广泛,在肝脏毛细胆管的细胞膜和门 静脉区表达均为强阳性;在十二指肠和空肠的表达为强阳性,在回肠和结肠表达为阳性;与健康组相比,MRP2在感染组大鼠的蛋白表达水平均较弱,主要表现为十二指肠和空肠为阳性,回肠和结肠中为弱阳性,肝细胞的胆管面为阳性,肝脏门静脉区附近呈弱阳性.MRP2的mRNA在健康和大肠杆菌感染大鼠的肝脏和肠组织中均有表达,但表达水平也存在差异.与健康组大鼠相比,MRP2 mRNA表达量在大肠杆菌感染组大鼠肝脏和小肠中显著下调(P＜0.05).SD大鼠感染大肠杆菌后可引起肝脏、小肠组织中MRP2在mRNA和蛋白水平的表达下调.

Detection of cigarettes and other tobacco products by giant African pouched rats (Cricetomys gambianus)

If the illicit tobacco trade were eliminated, governments could gain at least $31.3 billion a year, and more than 164,000 premature deaths a year could be avoided after 2030 (Joossens, Merriman, Ross, and Raw, 2009). Dogs have been used successfully in tobacco control programs, and there is a good chance that rats could also play an important role. In the present experiment, giant African pouched rats were trained to respond to filters that had been stored together with cigarettes (i.e., soaked) and to not respond to filters that had been soaked with noncigarette items. Generalization to untrained types of tobacco was then tested. The sensitivity of 4 rats trained on filters soaked with 1 of 7 types of cigarettes ranged from 86% to 100% (mean, 95%). There was very little evidence of generalization when the rats were tested on tobacco leaves and snuff but good evidence of generalization when the rats were tested on cigarettes that had been soaked with strong-smelling additives. These findings suggest that rats may be a valuable asset in the global effort to control illicit cigarette trade.     

Vitamin C enhanced myocardial differentiation of dedifferentiated fat cells

AIM: In order to observe the myocardial differentiation capacity of the dedifferentiated fat (DFAT) cells treated with vitamin C in vitro. METHODS: DFAT cells were dedifferentiated from the mature rat adipocytes with ceiling adherent culture. The DFAT cells of passage 3 were used in the study. Vitamin C and/or neonatal rat heart tissue lysate were added into the culture medium to induce myocardial differentiation for 3 weeks. The cell morphology was observed under microscope. The myocardial-specific markers, such as cTnT, GATA-4 and NKx2.5, were examined by the methods of immunofluorescence, PCR and Western blot. RESULTS: Mature rat adipocytes dedifferentiated into fibroblast-like DFAT cells after ceiling adherent culture. The DFAT cells spontaneously differentiated into cardiomyocyte-like cells under normal culture condition with a low incidence. After treated with neonatal rat heart cell lysate, the DFAT cells became cardiomyocyte-like cells that had bigger size, longer shape and myotubule-structure. The expression of cTnT, GATA-4 and NKx2.5 was remarkably increased at both mRNA and protein levels as compared with the normal cultured DFAT cells. The expression of cTnT, GATA-4 and NKx2.5 was further increased in DFAT cells after treating with vitamin C. No spontaneous beating cell was observed. CONCLUSION: Vitamin C enhances the differentiation of DFAT cells into cardiomyocyte-like cells.
