目的:观察不同剂量乙酰左旋肉碱(ALC)对脊髓损伤大鼠后肢运动功能恢复和脊髓组织结构的影响,为临床治疗脊髓损伤提供实验和理论依据。方法:将55只8~10周SD大鼠随机分为高(300 mg/kg)、中(200 mg/kg)、低剂量(100 mg/kg)药物干预(SCI+ALC)组、损伤(SCI)组和假手术(Sham)组共5组用于行为学评价、MAD和SOD检测、HPLC检测和HE染色。BBB评分和改良Rivlin斜板实验评价各组大鼠后肢运动功能。HE染色观察对脊髓组织形态结构的影响。另外9只大鼠随机分为Sham组、SCI组和ALC组,用于TUMEL法检测细胞凋亡情况。结果:高、中、低剂量SCI+ALC组干预后BBB评分与SCI组比较,其中中、高剂量ALC组具有显著性差异(P< 0.01),大鼠后肢运动功能得以明显改善;Rivlin斜板实验最大倾斜角,SCI+ALC组较SCI组角度明显增加(P< 0.05),其中中、高剂量ALC组具有显著性差异(P<0.01)。HE染色ALC高剂量组较SCI组,组织结构明显改善,炎性细胞和红细胞数量减少,神经细胞核仁部分显示不清。ELISA法检测大鼠损伤节段脊髓组织中SOD活力和MDA含量。结果提示,SCI+ALC组较SCI组SOD活力明显增加,而MDA含量明显降低(P<0.05),其中中、高剂量ALC组具有显著性差异(P<0.01)。HPLC色谱显示SCI+ALC组新鲜血清样品与ALC标准品溶液在 260 nm处具有相同的紫外吸收光谱,而Sham组和SCI组血清样品在该处未出现光谱值,说明SCI+ALC组样品中存在与标准品相同的物质。TUNEL染色显示Sham组可偶见凋亡信号,ALC高剂量组较SCI组细胞凋亡信号明显减少(P< 0.05)。结论:ALC能促进脊髓损伤大鼠后肢运动功能的恢复,抑制氧化应激和细胞凋亡、对受损脊髓组织具有修复作用。  相似文献

本研究旨在探讨维甲酸X受体(retinoid X receptor, RXR)介导的氧化应激通路对大鼠肺缺血/再灌注损伤(pulmonary ischemia/reperfusion injury, PIRI)的干预作用及机制。选取雄性Sprague Dawley (SD)大鼠77只,随机分为7组(n=11):正常对照组(Control组)、假手术组(Sham组)、假手术+9-顺式维甲酸(9-cis retinoid acid,9-cRA,RXR激动剂)组(Sham+9-cRA组)、假手术+HX531 (RXR抑制剂)组(Sham+HX531组)、缺血/再灌注(ischemia/reperfusion, I/R)组、I/R+9-cRA组、I/R+HX531组。采用大鼠在体左侧肺门夹闭30 min再灌注180 min方法制备肺缺血/再灌注(I/R)模型。I/R+9-cRA组和I/R+HX531组大鼠于开胸前腹腔注射9-cRA和HX531。再灌注结束后取左肺组织,评估肺组织损伤,用试剂盒检测肺组织氧化应激等相关指标,用HE染色法和透射电镜分别观察肺组织形态和肺泡上皮细胞超微结构,用免疫荧光标记法观察肺组织RXRα的表达情况,用Western blot检测核因子E2相关因子(nuclear factor E2-related factor 2, Nrf2)蛋白表达情况。结果显示,与Sham组相比,I/R组肺组织出现明显损伤,SOD活性下降,MDA含量和MPO活性升高,Nrf2蛋白表达水平显著降低;与I/R组相比,I/R+9-cRA组肺组织损伤减轻,SOD活性升高,MDA含量和MPO活性下降,RXR和Nrf2蛋白表达水平明显上调。9-cRA的上述改善作用可被HX531逆转。上述结果提示,激动RXR可有效减轻大鼠肺I/R损伤,对肺组织有一定的保护作用,具体机制可能与其激活Nrf2信号途径,增强抗氧化水平,减轻氧化应激反应有关。  相似文献

We defined the subsegmental divisions and the ramification patterns of the portal vein in the right and caudate lobes using 25 human liver casts. The ramifications of the portal vein and the subdivisions of the liver were classified based on the major portal veins with the largest diameter and those having a diameter of not less than two thirds of the largest vein in each subsegment. The following results were obtained. (1) The portal trunk showed three ramification patterns and the basic pattern was bifurcation (80%). (2) The anterior portal vein first ramified into several anterior-inferior portal veins (P5) and ran toward the superior direction to bifurcate into 2 major portal veins in the anterior-superior subsegment (S8). (3) There were three types of ramification patterns of the portal veins in S8: bifurcation (84%), trifurcation and one-pedicle type. (4) There were also three branching types of the largest vein (P5-max) in P5: ramification from the anterior portal vein, P8-anterior vein supplying the anterior region of S8 and P8-posterior vein supplying the posterior region of S8. (5) The posterior portal vein showed two ramification patterns of the bifurcation (36%) and nonbifurcation type. (6) The major portal veins in the caudate subsegment ramified at various sites such as the portal trunk, left, right and/or other portal veins.  相似文献

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is commonly classified into acute (symptom duration <60 days and absence of portal carvernoma and portal hypertension) and chronic types. However, the rationality of this classification has received little attention. In this study, 60 patients (40 men and 20 women) with PVT were examined using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). The percentage of vein occlusion, including portal vein (PV) and superior mesenteric vein (SMV), was measured on CT image. Of 60 patients, 17 (28.3%) met the criterion of acute PVT. Symptoms occurred more frequently in patients with superior mesenteric vein thrombosis (SMVT) compared to those without SMVT (p<0.001). However, there was no significant difference in PV occlusion between patients with and without symptoms. The frequency of cavernous transformation was significantly higher in patients with complete PVT than those with partial PVT (p<0.001). Complications of portal hypertension were significantly associated with cirrhosis (p<0.001) rather than with the severity of PVT and presence of cavernoma. These results suggest that the severity of PVT is only associated with the formation of portal cavernoma but unrelated to the onset of symptoms and the development of portal hypertension. We classified PVT into complete and partial types, and each was subclassified into with and without portal cavernoma. In conclusion, neither symptom duration nor cavernous transformation can clearly distinguish between acute and chronic PVT. The new classification system can determine the pathological alterations of PVT, patency of portal vein and outcome of treatment in a longitudinal study.  相似文献

Effect of emotional painful stress (EPS) on adreno- and cholinoreactivity of the portal vein was studied. EPS produced a significant decrease in adrenoceptor sensitivity of the vein to noradrenaline, which was not accompanied by a significant change of cholinoceptor sensitivity to acetylcholine. A possible mechanism of the phenomenon is discussed.  相似文献

Emotional painful stress is accompanied by deep depression of portal vein spontaneous contractile function and by a considerable fall of its smooth muscle adrenoreactivity . The time course of post-stress recovery of these parameters was studied. The time course of changes in adrenoreactivity was correlated to the previously studied time course of the post-stress content of noradrenaline in the portal vein wall. Portal vein contractile function was shown to return to normal completely only at the 8th day after exposure to stress. The time course of the recovery of smooth muscle adrenoreactivity was discovered to be similar to that of the recovery of noradrenaline concentration, being wave-like in nature with "fading" fluctuations. Both the processes were found to be marked by the same line of changes.  相似文献

Portal hypertension has been studied in the rat to see if it is associated to altered blood volume composition, as it has been shown in other species. Plasma volume was measured by isotope dilution using 99mTc labelled albumin in three groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats: normal rats (controls), partially ligated portal vein rats and rats with Cl4C induced cirrhosis. Plasma volume was significantly higher in rats with portal hypertension due to partially ligated portal vein and cirrhosis than in control animals. Similarly, the calculated blood volume was also significantly higher in the portal hypertensive animals than in control group. Portal hypertension in the rat, therefore, has been demonstrated to be associated to a marked hypervolemia and this finding should be taken into consideration in haemodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies in portal hypertensive rat models.  相似文献

Current large animal models that could closely resemble the typical features of cirrhotic portal hypertension in human have not been well established. Thus, we aimed to develop and describe a reliable and reproducible canine cirrhosis model of portal hypertension. A total of 30 mongrel dogs were randomly divided into four groups: 1 (control; n = 5), 2 (portal vein stenosis [PVS]; n = 5], 3 (thioacetamide [TAA]; n = 5), and 4 (PVS plus TAA; n = 15). After 4-months modeling period, liver and spleen CT perfusion, abdominal CT scans, portal hemodynamics, gastroscopy, hepatic function, blood routine, the bone marrow, liver, and spleen histology were studied. The animals in group 2 (PVS) developed extrahepatic portosystemic collateral circulation, particularly esophageal varices, without hepatic cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Animals from group 3 (TAA) presented mild cirrhosis and portal hypertension without significant symptoms of esophageal varices and hypersplenism. In contrast, animals from group 4 (PVS + TAA) showed well-developed micronodular and macronodular cirrhosis, associated with significant portal hypertension and hypersplenism. The combination of PVS and TAA represents a novel, reliable, and reproducible canine cirrhosis model of portal hypertension, which is associated with the typical characteristics of portal hypertension, including hypersplenism.  相似文献

To elucidate the type of spinal afferent involved in hypoglycemic detection at the portal vein, we considered the potential role of capsaicin-sensitive primary sensory neurons. Specifically, we examined the effect of capsaicin-induced ablation of portal vein afferents on the sympathoadrenal response to hypoglycemia. Under anesthesia, the portal vein was isolated in rats and either capsaicin (CAP) or the vehicle (CON) solution applied topically. During the same surgery, the carotid artery (sampling) and jugular vein (infusion) were cannulated. One week later, all animals underwent a hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemic clamp, with glucose (variable) and insulin (25 mU x kg(-1) x min(-1)) infused via the jugular vein. Systemic hypoglycemia (2.76 +/- 0.05 mM) was induced by minute 75 and sustained until minute 105. By design, no significant differences were observed in arterial glucose or insulin concentrations between groups. When hypoglycemia was induced in CON, the plasma epinephrine concentration increased from 0.67 +/- 0.05 nM at basal to 36.15 +/- 2.32 nM by minute 105. Compared with CON, CAP animals demonstrated an 80% suppression in epinephrine levels by minute 105, 7.11 +/- 0.55 nM (P < 0.001). A similar response to hypoglycemia was observed for norepinephrine, with CAP values suppressed by 48% compared with CON. Immunohistochemical analysis of the portal vein revealed an 85% decrease in the number of calcitonin gene-related peptide-reactive nerve fibers following capsaicin-induced ablation. That the suppression in the sympathoadrenal response was comparable to our previous findings for total denervation of the portal vein indicates that hypoglycemic detection at the portal vein is mediated by capsaicin-sensitive primary sensory neurons.  相似文献

Background

Hepatocellular carcinoma is an aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis and easy to recur even the tumor is totally removed by surgery. Portal vascular invasion is one of the major factors contributing to tumor recurrence and poor prognosis. However, why hepatocellular carcinoma is easy to grow into vessels is unclear.

Methods

Surgical specimens from seven hepatocellular carcinoma patients with portal vein thrombosis and seven patients without vascular invasion were utilized to analyze protein expression by proteomic technique. The proteins in the tumors were separated by 2-dimensional electrophoresis. Protein patterns in the gels were recorded as digitalized images. The differences of expression in hepatocellular carcinoma with or without portal vein thrombosis were identified by mass spectrometry.

Results

Clinically, the tumors with portal vein thrombosis were larger than those without portal vein thrombosis. The median survival time for the patients with portal vein thrombosis was much shorter [4 (ranged 2.5–47) vs. 53 (ranged 33–85) months, p = 0.002]. By analyzing the protein expression in cancer tissues with or without portal vein thrombosis, the differences of protein expression were mainly metabolic enzymes. Carbonic anhydrase I, betaine–homocysteine S-methyltransferase 1, fumarate hydratase, isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase, short-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase and arginase-1 were all down-regulated in the tumors with portal vein thrombosis.

Conclusion

Metabolic enzymes and cytosol carbonic anhydrases were downregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein thrombus. The deficiency of metabolic enzymes and cytosol carbonic anhydrases may alter cellular metabolisms and acid–base balance in hepatocellular carcinoma, which may facilitate to invade portal vein.
