Supernatants of UV-irradiated specimens of donor whole blood, leukocyte-platelet or red cell suspensions added to human embryonic cells in vitro produce a 1.4-1.6-fold increase in 3H-thymidine incorporation into human embryonic cells. Irradiation of blood plasma without the cells by the same doses as therapeutic ones is not followed by the effect indicated. Therefore the stimulation of the growth capacity of the blood after irradiation is connected with its cells. It is suggested that the effect under discussion is derived from the release of some active components from the blood cell surface (outer perimembranous layer) because of its photochemical destruction during UV-irradiation. 相似文献

The effects of fractionated hemithorax irradiation on normal lung tissue were examined by measuring changes in the vascular permeability surface area product (PS) and relative lung blood flow in Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats received five daily fractions per week of either 3.0 or 4.0 Gy for 4 weeks to the left lung. Between 3 and 5 weeks after the start of irradiation, the average PS was approximately 50% above normal for the group of rats that received 3.0 Gy/day and 200-300% above normal in the group of rats that received 4.0 Gy/day. Treatment with cyproheptadine, indomethacin, or theophylline had no effect, but treatment with dexamethasone significantly reduced PS to near normal levels. Left-to-right blood flow ratios in the group of rats that received 3.0 Gy/day decreased to 66% of normal levels by 4 weeks. In the group of rats that received 4.0 Gy/day, blood flow decreased to 46% of normal levels by 4 weeks. Treatment with dexamethasone maintained normal blood flow until the drug dose was reduced. These results agree with earlier studies using single-dose irradiation and indicate that the methods used to measure PS and blood flow are sensitive at low doses. 相似文献

It has recently been shown that nitrosyl complexes of hemoglobin (NO-Hb) are sensitive to low-level blue laser irradiation, suggesting that laser irradiation can facilitate the release of biologically active nitric oxide (NO), which can affect tissue perfusion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic value of blue laser irradiation for local tissue perfusion after surgical intervention. Blood was withdrawn from a rat, exposed to NO and infused back to the same rat or used for in vitro experiments. In vitro, an increase of NO-Hb levels (electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy) up to 15 microM in rat blood did not result in the release of detectable amounts of NO (NO selective electrode). Blue laser irradiation of NO-Hb in blood caused decomposition of NO-Hb complexes and release of free NO. Systemic infusion of NO-Hb in rats affected neither systemic circulation (mean arterial pressure) nor local tissue perfusion (Doppler blood flow imaging system). In contrast, a clear enhancement of local tissue perfusion was observed in epigastric flap when elevated NO-Hb levels in blood were combined with local He-Cd laser irradiation focused on the left epigastric artery. The enhancement of regional tissue perfusion was not accompanied by any detectable changes in systemic circulation. This study demonstrates that blue laser irradiation improves local tissue perfusion in a controlled manner stimulating NO release from NO-Hb complexes. 相似文献

Measurement of mucosal blood flow in the canine intestine with laser doppler velocimetry 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Laser Doppler velocimetry is a technique for continuous estimation of changing blood flow in the surface of a tissue and does not require invasion of the circulation. This technique is based upon the Doppler principle that a shift in the frequency of an electromagnetic wave emitted or reflected from a moving object is proportional to the velocity of the object. The capacity of Laser Doppler velocimetry to estimate changes in intestinal mucosal blood flow was tested in a canine free flow preparation. In anesthetized dogs in which a segment of ileum was isolated, simultaneous measurements of instantaneous changes in total blood flow (measured with the electromagnetic blood flow meter) and instantaneous changes in presumed mucosal blood flow (using laser Doppler velocimetry) were obtained. Determinations were made during conditions of rest, prostacyclin induced vasodilation and norepinephrine induced vasoconstriction. Changes in laser Doppler velocimeter readings were qualitatively similar to and temporally related to changes in total blood flow to the gut segment during administration of the vasoactive drugs. The magnitude and direction of changes with the two measurements were significantly correlated. Stabilizing the laser probe on the mucosal surface to ensure reproducible readings proved technically difficult. Pharmacologically induced changes in laser Doppler velocimeter estimated changes in flow were more readily correlated with changes in electromagnetic flow meter readings than were control values obtained with the two methods. 相似文献

Regulation of the proliferation of transplanted colony forming units (CFUs) was investigated in lethally irradiated mice, pretreated by methods known to accelerate hemopoietic recovery after sublethal irradiation. Prospective recipients were exposed to either hypoxia, vinblastine or priming irradiation and at different intervals thereafter lethally irradiated and transplanted with bone marrow. Repopulation of CFUs was determined by counting the number of splenic colonies in primary recipients or by retransplantation. Regeneration of grafted CFUs was greatly accelerated and their self-renewal capacity increased in mice grafted within two days after hypoxia. Also the number of splenic colonies formed by grafted syngeneic CFUs as well as by C57BL parent CFUs growing in BC3F1 hosts was significantly increased. The effect was not dependent on the seeding efficiency of CFUs and apparently resulted from hypoxia induced changes in the hosts physiological environment. Proliferative capacity of grafted CFUs increased remarkably in hosts receiving vinblastine two or four days prior to irradiation. Priming irradiation given six days before main irradiation accelerated, given two days before impaired regeneration of CFUs. The increased rate of regeneration was not related to the cellularity of hemopoietic organs at the time of transplantation. The growth of CFUs in diffusion chambers implanted into posthypoxic mice was only slightly improved which does indicate that the accelerated regeneration of CFUs in posthypoxic mice is mainly due to the changes in the hemopoietic microenvironment. A short conditioning of transplanted CFUs by host factor(s) was sufficient to improve regeneration. The results might suggest that the speed of hemopoietic regeneration depends on the number of CFUs being induced to proliferate shordy after irradiation, rather than on the absolute numbers of CFUs available to the organism. 相似文献

Testis blood flow per testis closely follows testis weight in rats made aspermatogenic by a single exposure of the testis to 43 degrees C for 30 min or 500 rad (5 Gy) of irradiation from a caesium source, or following ligation of the efferent ducts. Aspermatogenesis following these treatments was associated with only minor changes in the concentrations of testosterone in peripheral blood before stimulation with human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), and a reduced responsiveness to hCG when testis weight had fallen after heating. The concentrations of testosterone in testicular venous blood was normal or above normal during aspermatogenesis resulting from heat or irradiation, and only slightly reduced following efferent duct ligation. Consequently testosterone production (defined as the product of plasma flow and the veno-arterial concentration difference for testosterone) was markedly reduced during aspermatogenesis, both before and after stimulation with hCG. It appears that the reduced blood flow limits the amount of testosterone leaving the testis, and while the Leydig cells are capable under some circumstances of compensating partially for this fall by increasing the concentration of testosterone in the testicular venous blood, this compensation is not complete when there are severe reductions in blood flow. Therefore one can conclude that the mass of the tubules is the main determinant of testis blood flow and the Leydig cells must manage with what the tubules require. 相似文献

Flunarizine is a diphenylpiperazine calcium entry blocker that has been shown previously to increase tumor blood flow and sensitivity to radiotherapy via reduction in the radiobiologically significant hypoxic fraction. Two mechanisms of action have been proposed previously (vasodilation, altered blood viscosity), but no studies have been performed to examine its mechanisms of action in vivo. Such information would be invaluable in determining the role of flunarizine in multimodality approaches to reduce tumor hypoxia. Fisher-344 rats bearing R3230Ac tumors transplanted into dorsal flap window chambers were used to examine microcirculatory changes after administration of flunarizine (1.0 mg/kg, iv). The drug increased the diameters of the microvasculature and red cell velocities specifically in central tumor regions (producing an average increase in vessel flow by a factor of 1.96), which was accompanied by an increase in perivascular pO2 of 12 mm Hg, on the average. The drug did not change the diameters of tumor "feeding" vessels, nor did it change vascular length densities. Thus the improvement in central tumor blood flow and oxygenation could not be attributed to dilation of feeding vessels. The oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood was not altered either since hemoglobin saturation (measured in vitro) and the hematocrits of the microvasculature were unchanged after drug administration. Therefore, by a process of elimination, the most likely explanation for the effect of the drug is modification of blood viscosity. Additional studies are under way in this laboratory to examine whether changes in viscosity occur after flunarizine administration. 相似文献

Individual and group differences were revealed in the capacity of rat peripheral blood lymphocytes of DNA repair in response to the DNA damaging test-effect of irradiation in vitro. The survival rate of rats irradiated with a dose inducing 50-per cent death was in a definite relationship with the repair capacity of blood lymphocyte DNA in each animal individual prior to irradiation. 相似文献

In a circulating thrombocytic plasma the pressure in front of a defined mesh filter depends on the combined capacity of adhesion and aggregation of thrombocytes. A new clinical in vitro test is based on this principle which comes nearest to the conditions to be found in hemostasis dependent on thrombocytes. Judging from the preliminary results of investigations performed on stored blood, blood donors, patients with thrombocytopenia, disturbances of blood flow and patients under anticoagulant therapy, the time until the pressure rise after administering ADP and the maximal pressure amplitude proved to be the most significant parameters of the new procedure. 相似文献

Babesia bovis parasites attenuated by 35 krads gamma irradiation and parasites not exposed to irradiation, were injected into intact 2-year-old Hereford steers. All five animals receiving non-irradiated blood died but the five animals which received irradiated blood were only mildly affected. Highly significant differences were observed in changes to plasma fibrinogen, serum fibrinogen-like proteins, packed cell volume, partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, blood kinins, and plasma kininogen levels in the control animals but non-significant changes in these parameters occurred in the group receiving iradiated blood. Significant changes in the antiplasmin alpha 2M, and the antithrombin levels occurred in control cattle but not in the group receiving irradiated blood. Parasite multiplications rates and maximum parasitaemias were similar in both groups. Irradiation reduced the dose of living parasites from 1 x 10(8) to 2.5 x 10(3), but this was not the reason for the mild reactions. It was concluded that irradiation had selected an avirulent parasite population. 相似文献

On the basis of analysis of published data, direct (using 13C) and indirect methods of estimating the amino acid transfer into mammary secretory cells in vivo were compared and the modified indirect method was used to determine quantitatively the shifts in transport activity in lactating cows and goats in trials with amino acid deficit or excess and in investigations that used a hyperinsulemic-euglycemic clamp. The analysis suggests that inadequacy of traditional use of extraction efficiency as a measure of tissue affinity to substrate is associated with two shortcomings: 1) if the changes in mammary blood flow are more expressed compared to transport activity, the arteriovenous difference and extraction efficiency may change in opposite direction to the shifts in transport activity; 2) due to the effect of nonlinearity, in situations characterized by small ratio of blood flow: the transport activity extraction efficiency is insensitive to shifts on activity of transport. The re-analysis of published data using the modified inbdirect method indicated that the deficit of individual amino acid caused a rise in activity of their transport and the excess decreased a net transfer into cell. The insulineuglycemic clamp treatments increased the activity of amino acid transport into the mammary cell and milk protein yield. The results obtained suggest that net transmembrane transfer of amino acid into mammary secretory cell can be controlled by the cell itself according to metabolic demand. 相似文献

The effects of the persistence of pulsatile blood flow in the pulmonary capillaries on the over-all diffusing capacity and alveolar-arterial oxygen tension gradient were studied. A mathematical analysis was made of the oxygen transfer process using an undamped cardiac flow pulse in the capillaries and taking into account the finite rate of reaction of oxygen with hemoglobin.
In five cases of both normal and low oxygen atmospheres, combined with varying degree of exercise, it was found that the alveolar-arterial oxygen tension gradients were not affected by the time-varying blood flow, while in cases of breathing air the over-all diffusing capacity of the lung increased 10-15% over the diffusing capacity obtained with constant blood flow rate in the pulmonary capillaries.

TCam-2 cells are the main in vitro model for investigations into seminomatous tumors. However, despite their widespread use, questions remain regarding the cells’ homogeneity and consequently how representative they are of seminomas. We assess the TCam-2 cell line using routine and novel authentication methods to determine its homogeneity, identify any cellular sub-populations and resolve whether any changes could be due to generational differentiation. TCam-2, embryonal carcinoma cells (2102EP) and breast cancer cell (MCF7) lines were assessed using qRT-PCR, immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry and short tandem repeat analyses. Raman maps of individual cells (minimum of 10) and single scan spectra from 200 cells per culture were obtained. TCam-2s displayed the characteristic marker gene expression pattern for seminoma, were uniform in size and granularity and short tandem repeat analysis showed no contamination. However, based only on physical parameters, flowcytometry was unable to differentiate between TCam-2 and 2102EPs. Raman maps of TCam-2s comprised three equally distributed, distinct spectral patterns displaying large intercellular single spectral variation. All other cells showed little variation. Principal component, cluster and local spectral angle analyses indicated that the TCam-2s contained two different types of cells, one of which comprised two subgroups and was similar to some 2102EP cells. Protein expression corroborated the presence of different cells and generational differences. The detailed characterization provided by the Raman spectra, augmented by the routine methods, provide substantiation to the long-held suspicion that TCam-2 are not homogeneous but comprise differing cell populations, one of which may be embryonal carcinoma in origin. 相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO) plays a key role in regulation of vascular tone and blood flow. In the microcirculation blood flow is strongly dependent on red blood cells (RBC) deformability. In vitro NO increases RBC deformability. This study hypothesized that NO increases RBC velocity in vivo not only by regulating vascular tone, but also by modifying RBC deformability. The effects of NO on RBC velocity were analysed by intra-vital microscopy in the microcirculation of the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of the avian embryo at day 7 post-fertilization, when all vessels lack smooth muscle cells and vascular tone is not affected by NO. It was found that inhibition of enzymatic NO synthesis and NO scavenging decreased intracellular NO levels and avian RBC deformability in vitro. Injection of a NO synthase-inhibitor or a NO scavenger into the microcirculation of the CAM decreased capillary RBC velocity and deformation, while the diameter of the vessels remained constant. The results indicate that scavenging of NO and inhibition of NO synthesis decrease RBC velocity not only by regulating vascular tone but also by decreasing RBC deformability. 相似文献

Hemodynamic and metabolic responses of the working heart in relation to the oxygen carrying capacity of the perfusion medium 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Hemodynamic and metabolic adaptations of isolated working heart perfused alternatively with normal or low oxygen carrying capacity medium were studied in an experimental model. A step change in arterial oxygen content (1.75 to 15.3 ml O2/100 ml) was followed by a decrease in coronary flow, an increase in aortic flow, external work, myocardial oxygen consumption and efficiency, respectively. Metabolic investigations (steady state values) showed the activities of both glycolysis and the Krebs cycle to increase with the oxygen carrying capacity of the perfusion medium. Within the limits of these aerobic conditions, most of the cardiac changes were reversible. The use of reconstituted blood provides physiological conditions of oxygenation, allows a dynamic equilibrium between oxygen supply and oxygen requirements and maintains a near physiological regulation between cardiac dynamic and metabolic functions. These conclusions stress the importance of optimal O2 carrying capacity of perfusion medium in metabolic studies on isolated working heart. 相似文献

A useful method of enzyme glucose sensor sterilization has not only to ensure the needs of sterility assurance but has also to guarantee the functional stability of the sensors. The action of 2 or 3% alkalinized glutaraldehyde solution, as well as gamma irradiation with a dose of 25 kGy caused changes of the in vitro functionality and polymer material irritations, respectively. After a combined treatment by 0.6% hydrogen peroxide solution acting over 4 days with 7 kGy gamma irradiation only a slight loss of sensitivity must be registered. The combination of a specially designed universal homogeneous ultraviolet irradiation over 300 s with a 3 days lasting treatment by an inclusion compound of hydrogen peroxide with tensides in urea (0.15% effective hydrogen peroxide concentration) did not cause any influence on the glucose sensor function in vitro. With all methods tested here, a Bacillus subtilis spore reduction over 8 log(10) cycles from 10(6) to 10(-2) spores per test object on an average could be proved experimentally. In general, if non-thermal methods must be used it seems to be impossible to guarantee a sterility assurance level of 10(-6) as it is demanded by the pharmacopoeias. Consequently, effective concepts to produce sterile glucose biosensors for medical and biological applications should be based not only on final product treatments but should include germ reducing measures in every manufacturing step. 相似文献

The replacement of endothelium by endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) for therapeutic use in order to ameliorate the vascular status of ischemic organs is now in the focus of vascular research. The aim of our studies was to investigate whether EPCs derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs-derived EPCs) or EPCs propagated from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs-derived EPCs), both isolated from human cord blood, are able to differentiate into early mature endothelial cells (ECs) under certain in vitro conditions. We characterized both cell populations by flow cytometry, phase contrast microscopy, fluorescence microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy as well as ultrastructurally using transmission and scanning electron microscopy. While PBMNCs gave rise to clusters of spindle-like EPCs after few days but did not further mature under in vitro conditions, mature ECs could only be successfully propagated from a starting population of isolated HSCs. Both, PBMNCs- and HSCs-derived EPCs, took up Dil-labeled acetylated low density lipoprotein (Dil-Ac-LDL) and could be positively stained for CD31, CD105, the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2, KDR) and ulex europaeus agglutinin 1 (UEA-1) at the cell surface. EPC showed surface expression of CD54 and CD106. However, only a small portion of HSCs-derived EPCs was positive for CD54 but negative for CD106. Intracellular staining for von Willebrand factor (vWF) provided a homogenous stain in PBMNC-derived EPCs while in HSCs-derived EPCs, during cultivation for 2–3 weeks, more and more a typical punctuated staining pattern related to Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs) was visible. By phase contrast and scanning electron microscopy, an arrangement of PBMNCs-derived EPCs in cord-like structures could be demonstrated. In these formations, cells showed parallel alignment but exhibited only few cell contacts. Well-developed WPBs could never be found in PBMNCs-derived EPCs. In contrast, differentiating HSCs-derived EPCs developed adherence junctions, interdigitating junctions as well as syndesmos. During maturation, spindle-like cell types appeared with abundant WPBs as well as cobblestone-like cell types with a fewer content of these organelles. WPBs, in the spindle-like cell types displayed conspicuous shapes and were concentrated in close proximity to mitochondria-rich areas. HSCs-derived EPCs exhibited signs of high synthetic activity such as a well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and multiple Golgi complexes. In the trans-Golgi network (TGN), close to the Golgi complex, a new formation of WPBs could be observed. These morphological features correlated well with a high growing capacity. Although it was not possible to demonstrate the complete differentiation line from HSCs to early matured ECs by immunologic markers because of the limited number of cells available for such investigations, distinct morphologic maturation stages could be shown at light and electron microscopical levels. In conclusion, the study presented here characterizes not only the different cell populations involved in the differentiation of early EPCs into mature ECs but also the transition stage where the maturation step takes place by demonstration of the new formation of WPBs. In this respect, these investigations provide new insights into the in vitro differentiation which could have some in vivo correlation. 相似文献

Bone marrow (BM) derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are pluripotent cells which can differentiate into osteogenic, adipogenic and other lineages. In spite of the broad interest, the information about the changes in BM cell composition, in particularly about the variation of MSC number and their properties in relation to the age of the donor is still controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the age associated changes in variations of BM cell composition, phenotype and differentiation capacities of MSC using a rat model. Cell populations were characterized by flow cytometry using light scattering parameters, DNA content and a set of monoclonal antibodies. Single cell analysis was performed by conventional fluorescent microscopy. In vitro culture of MSC was established and their phenotype and capability for in vitro differentiation into osteogenic and adipogenic cells was shown. Age related changes in tibiae and femurs, amount of BM tissue, BM cell composition, proportions of separated MSC and yield of MSC in 2 weeks of in vitro culture were found. At the same time, neither change in phenotype no in differentiation capacities of MSC was registered. Age-related changes of the number of MSC should be taken into account whenever MSC are intended to be used for investigations. 相似文献

The time-course of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MPCE) in mouse bone marrow and peripheral blood, induced by an acute 0.1 Gy dose of X-rays, was determined using flow cytometric analysis, which made frequent sampling possible and allowed use of a dose low enough not to affect erythroid cell proliferation. The frequency of MPCE (fMPCE) began to increase in the bone marrow at 10 h after irradiation and reached a maximum at 28 h after irradiation. In the peripheral blood fMPCE began to increase at 20 h after irradiation and peaked at about 40 h after irradiation. The time-course found is discussed on the basis of data on the differentiation of erythroid cells. The results indicate that the micronuclei registered in polychromatic erythrocytes may originate from lesions induced not only during the last cell cycle but also during earlier ones. After an acute dose of 1.0 Gy of X-rays the maximum fMPCE was delayed both in bone marrow and peripheral blood reflecting an effect on the cell cycle progression of erythroblasts. 相似文献
