八肽胆囊收缩素对家兔内毒素休克时肺动脉张力的影响

为探讨八肽胆囊收缩素(CCK-8)缓解内毒素休克(ES)时肺动脉血压(PAP)增高的机制,观察了CCK-8对脂多糖(LPS)引起家兔ES时PAP变化以及离体肺动脉环(PARs)张力改变的影响。实验用新西兰大耳白雄性家兔40只,分为颈静脉注入LPS(8mg／kg i．v.)复制的家兔ES模型、LPS注入前15min给CCK-8(15μg/kg,i.v.)、LPS注入前15min给CCK受体拮抗剂丙谷胺(Pro 1mg／kg,i.v.)、单独注入CCK-8(15μg/kg,i.v.)和注射生理盐水(对照)共5组。用生理记录仪监测平均动脉压(MAP)和PAP的变化;5h后制备PARs,应用血管张力测定技术,检测各组PARs张力。结果为：(1)ES时MAP降低、PAP升高,CCK-8可完全翻转ES时PAP的增高,而Pro加剧ES时PAP的增高;(2)LPS组的PARs对苯肾上腺素(PE)的收缩反应增强,对ACh内皮依赖性舒张反应降低,而CCK-8可逆转LP5的上述作用。上述结果提示CCK—8可缓解ES时的PAP升高,这可能与其调节肺动脉张力改变有关。

HIV-1-induced pulmonary oxidative and nitrosative stress: exacerbated response to endotoxin administration in HIV-1 transgenic mouse model

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 causes lung disease by increasing the host's susceptibility to pathogens. HIV-1 also causes an increase in systemic oxidative/nitrosative stress, perhaps enhancing the deleterious effects of secondary infections. Here we examined the ability of HIV-1 proteins to increase lung oxidative/nitrosative stress after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (endotoxin) administration in an HIV-1 transgenic mouse model. Lung oxidative/nitrosative stress biomarkers studied 3 and 6 h after LPS administration were as follows: lung edema, tissue superoxide, NO metabolites, nitrotyrosine, hydrogen peroxide, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) glutathione (GSH). Blood serum cytokine levels were quantified to verify immune function of our nonimmunocompromised animal model. Results indicate that 3 h after LPS administration, HIV-1 transgenic mouse lung tissue has significantly greater edema and superoxide. Furthermore, NO metabolites are significantly elevated in HIV-1 transgenic mouse BALF, lung tissue, and blood plasma compared with those of wild-type mice. HIV-1 transgenic mice also produce significantly greater lung nitrotyrosine and hydrogen peroxide than wild-type mice. In addition, HIV-1 transgenic mice produce significantly less BALF GSH than wild-type mice 3 h after LPS treatment. Without treatment, serum cytokine levels are similar for HIV-1 transgenic and wild-type mice. After treatment, serum cytokine levels are significantly elevated in both HIV-1 transgenic and wild-type mice. Therefore, HIV-1 transgenic mice have significantly greater lung oxidative/nitrosative stress after endotoxin administration than wild-type mice, independent of immune function. These results indicate that HIV-1 proteins may increase pulmonary complications subsequent to a secondary infection by altering the lung redox potential.     

Effect of sulfatide on acute lung injury during endotoxemia in rats

Experimental studies have shown that intrapulmonary leukocyte sequestration and activation is implicated in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury during endotoxemia. Selectins are involved in the adhesion of leukocyte to the endothelium. Sulfatide is recognized by P selectin and blocks this adhesion molecule. We studied the effects of sulfatide on endotoxin-induced lung damage in rats. Endotoxin shock was produced in male rats by a single intravenous (i.v.) injection of 20 mg/kg of Salmonella enteritidis lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS administration reduced survival rate (0%, 72 h after endotoxin challenge) decreased mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), produced leukopenia (Controls = 11,234+/-231 cells/mL, LPS = 4,567+/-123 cells/mL) and increased lung myeloperoxidase activity (MPO; a marker of leukocyte accumulation) in the lung (Controls = 0.35+/-0.1 U/g/tissue; LPS = 10+/-1.2 U/g/tissue). Furthermore LPS administration markedly impaired the concentration-response curves for acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside in isolated pulmonary arterial rings. There was also an increased staining for P-selectin in the pulmonary arteries. Sulfatide treatment (10 mg/kg, 30 min. after LPS challenge), significantly protected against LPS-induced lethality (90% survival rate and 70% survival rate 24 h and 72 h after LPS injection), reduced LPS induced hypotension, reverted leukopenia (8,895+/-234 cells/ml) and lowered lung MPO activity (1.7+/-0.9 U/g/tissue). Furthermore sulfatide restored to control values the LPS-induced impairment in arterial pulmonary vasorelaxation and reduced P-selectin immunostaining. Our data indicate that sulfatide attenuates LPS-induced lung injury and protects against endotoxin shock.     

Nitric oxide hemoglobin in mice and rats in endotoxic shock.

Mice given ip bacterial endotoxin (LPS) at 10 mg/kg showed a statistically significant decrease in plasma glucose and an increase in hematocrit at 2 h after injection. Glucose was still decreased at 4 h, but the hematocrit had returned to control values. Nitrosylated hemoglobin (HbNO) was detected at 3, but not at 2 h. By 4 h it had increased 5-fold. When N-monomethylarginine (NMMA) at 100 mg/kg, ip was given 2 h after LPS in mice, the HbNO concentration at 4 h was significantly reduced, but the hypoglycemia was worsened because NMMA itself produced a significant hypoglycemia. Rats given iv LPS, 20 mg/kg, showed a fleeting, transient rise in mean arterial pressure (MAP) lasting only a few min. Thereafter, the MAP tended to drift slowly downward over 4 h, but when the MAP at 30 min intervals was compared to the pre-LPS MAP, there were no significant differences. Plasma glucose in unanesthetized rats was significantly elevated at 1 h, back to control at 2 h, and significantly decreased at 3 h. HbNO was detected as early as 1 h after injection. By 2 h the HbNO concentrations exceeded the highest levels found in mice, and they were still increasing as late as 5 h after injection. Unanesthetized rats showed toxic signs and 3/12 rats died within 4 hours of LPS administration. These results are consistent with a model for endotoxic shock in which LPS stimulates an inducible pathway for NO synthesis.     

Changes in pulmonary Cu−Zn contents in superior mesenteric artery occlusion shock of rabbit

Contents of Cu and Zn of into-pulmonary blood (IPB), out-pulmonary blood (OPB), Lung tissue, and supernatant and macrophages of Lung Lavage were determined in superior mesenteric artery occlusion (SMAO) shock of rabbits. Zn of pulmonary tissue was 11.42 +/- 0.60 and 14.52 +/- 1.78 (micrograms/g wet wt) in SMAO shock and control groups, respectively. Content of Zn was found to be lower, Cu was not changed, and Cu/Zn ratio increased in lung tissue in SMAO shock. Contents of Cu and Zn in other samples were not changed. The results suggest that lower Zn in lung tissue related to acute lung injury.

过氧亚硝基阴离子介导内毒素致肺血管损伤及胆囊收缩素的保护作用

本文探讨过氧亚硝基阴离子（ONOO^-）在内毒素致肺血管损伤中的介导作用和八肽胆囊收缩素（CCK）的保护作用及其机制。结果发现,内毒素主要成分脂多糖（LPS）可诱导大鼠肺组织生成ONOO^-1,ONOO^-能导致肺微血管壁通透性明显增加和肺脏严重病理变化;ONOO^-可引起离体肺动脉反应性异常改变,LPS也可产生类似变化;ONOO^-有较弱的舒血管作用并受到内皮细胞的抑制性调节;LPS诱导培养的牛肺动脉内皮细胞（BPAEC）产生增多的ONOO^-参与介导内皮细胞本身的损伤;CCK能拮抗LPS对BPAEC的损伤效应,此作用由CCK受体介导,并与抑制ONOO^-生成有关。结果提示,清除ONOO^-或减少ONOO^-生成可为防治内毒素引起的急性肺损伤等病理过程提供新对策;CCK是一种有应用前景的细胞保护因子。
