大鼠失血性休克后肠道微生态的改变

本研究对无特殊致病菌大鼠失血性休克后肠道微生态的改变及肠道细菌易位进行了动态观察。结果表明,失血性休克复苏后5小时,肠道微生态即发生改变,表现为回肠内肠杆菌菌量增多,肠道内类杆菌与肠杆菌菌量比值下降,而后这一改变随时间推移逐渐恢复;肠道细菌易位率也有类似变化,易位细菌以肠杆菌为主。结果提示,大鼠失血性休克后肠道细菌易位与肠道微生态的改变有密切关系。     

A new model of severe hemorrhagic shock in rats

We here introduce a fixed-pressure model of hemorrhagic shock in rats that maximizes effects on mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) during shock and yet maintains high reproducibility and controllability. The MAP of rats was adjusted to 25 to 30 mm Hg by blood withdrawals during 30 min. After a shock period of 60 min, rats were resuscitated either with lactated Ringer solution (LR) only or with the collected blood 3-fold diluted with LR (LR + blood) and monitored for further 150 min. Throughout the experiment, vital parameters and plasma marker enzyme activities and creatinine concentration were assessed. Thereafter, liver, kidneys, small intestine, heart, and lung were harvested and evaluated histopathologically. Vital parameters, plasma marker enzyme activities, creatinine concentration, and histopathology indicated pronounced but reliable and reproducible systemic effects and marked organ damage due to hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation. In contrast to rats that received LR + blood, which survived the postresuscitation period, rats receiving LR only invariably died shortly after resuscitation. The hemorrhagic shock model we present here maximally affects MAP and yet is highly reproducible in rats, allowing the study of various aspects of hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation under clinically relevant conditions.     

The physiological changes of cumulative hemorrhagic shock in conscious rats

Summary Hemorrhagic shock is a common cause of death in emergency rooms. Current animal models of hemorrhage encounter a major problem that the volume and the rate of blood loss cannot be controlled. In addition, the use of anesthesia obscures physiological responses. Our experiments were designed to establish an animal model based on the clinical situation for studying hemorrhagic shock. Hemorrhagic shock was induced by withdrawing blood from a femoral arterial catheter. The blood volume withdrawn was 40% of the total blood volume for group 1 and 30% for group 2 and 3. Group 3 was anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (25 mg/kg, i.v.) at the beginning of blood withdrawal. Our data showed that the survival rate was 87.5% at 48 h in the conscious group and 0% at 9 h in anesthetic group after hemorrhage. The levels of mean arterial pressure, heart rate, white blood count, TNF-, IL1-, CPK, and LDH after blood withdrawal in the anesthetic group were generally lower than those in conscious groups. These results indicated that anesthetics significantly affected the physiology of experimental animals. The conscious, unrestrained and cumulative volume-controlled hemorrhagic shock model was a good experimental model to investigate the physical phenomenon without anesthetic interfernce.     

Microarray analysis of differentially expressed background genes in rats following hemorrhagic shock

To uncover the contribution of the diversity of the genetic backgrounds to the pathogenesis of hemorrhagic shock, we employed male Sprague-Dawley rats to establish a controlled 2.5 ml/100 g total body weight fixed-volume hemorrhagic shock and left lobular hepatectomy model. RNA was isolated from the liver samples taken from the rats (survival group: rats survived over 24 h after shock; and dead group: rats died within 1 h after shock, n = 3 per group), and subjected to microarray using the illumina^TM chips for rat cDNA (27,342 genes, >700,000 probes). The results demonstrated that the rats had about 50% survival rate and 100 genes were identified differentially expressed in the two groups. Of these genes, 47 genes were up-regulated and 53 genes down-regulated. Real-time PCR confirmed the differential expression for Aldh1a1, Aldh1a7, Aoc3, Cyp26al, Hdc and Ephx2 genes. Pathway analysis revealed that these genes are involved in circadian rhythm, beta-Alanine metabolism, histidine metabolism, biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, vitamin B6 metabolism, as well as arginine and proline metabolism. Therefore, our study provided a global molecular view on the contribution of genetic backgrounds to the response to hemorrhagic shock.     

Effect of opiate receptor agonists on the course of hemorrhagic shock in rats

The experiments have been performed on 93 male rats, weighing 200-250 g. In acute blood loss various arterial pressure (AP) changes have been demonstrated--the marked hypertension is being changed by gradual AP increase. The injection of m-receptors' agonist DAGO prevents systolic and diastolic AP increase, agonist DADL prevents diastolic AP increase in acute momentary blood loss. In gradual blood loss DAGO (more than DADL) slows down both the decrease and the subsequent AP increase in rats. DAGO is determined to decrease, and DADL--to increase the minute blood volume. The mechanisms of opioids' action and their significance in pathogenesis of hemodynamic disturbances in shock are being discussed.

Reactive nitrogen species inhibit alveolar epithelial fluid transport after hemorrhagic shock in rats

Our recent experimental work demonstrated that a neutrophil-dependent inflammatory response in the lung prevented the normal up-regulation of alveolar fluid clearance by catecholamines following hemorrhagic shock. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the release of NO within the airspaces of the lung was responsible for the shock-mediated failure of the alveolar epithelium to respond to catecholamines in rats. Hemorrhagic shock was associated with an inducible NO synthase (iNOS)-dependent increase in the lung production of NO and a failure of the alveolar epithelium to up-regulate vectorial fluid transport in response to beta-adrenergic agonists. Inhibition of iNOS restored the normal catecholamine-mediated up-regulation of alveolar liquid clearance. Airspace instillation of dibutyryl cAMP, a stable analog of cAMP, restored the normal fluid transport capacity of the alveolar epithelium after prolonged hemorrhagic shock, whereas direct stimulation of adenyl cyclase by forskolin had no effect. Pretreatment with pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate or sulfasalazine attenuated the iNOS-dependent production of NO in the lung and restored the normal up-regulation of alveolar fluid clearance by catecholamines after prolonged hemorrhagic shock. Based on in vitro studies with an alveolar epithelial cell line, A549 cells, the effect of sulfasalazine appeared to be mediated in part by inhibition of NF-kappaB activation, and the protective effect was mediated by the inhibition of IkappaBalpha protein degradation. In summary, these results provide the first in vivo evidence that NO, released within the airspaces of the lung probably secondary to the NF-kappaB-dependent activation of iNOS, is a major proximal inflammatory mediator that limits the rate of alveolar epithelial transport after prolonged hemorrhagic shock by directly impairing the function of membrane proteins involved in the beta-adrenergic receptor-cAMP signaling pathway in alveolar epithelium.

Ghrelin attenuates brain injury after traumatic brain injury and uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock in rats

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and hemorrhagic shock often occur concomitantly due to multiple injuries. Gastrointestinal dysfunction occurs frequently in patients with TBI. However, whether alterations in the gastrointestinal system are involved in modulating neuronal damage and recovery after TBI is largely neglected. Ghrelin is a "gut-brain" hormone with multiple functions including antiinflammation and antiapoptosis. The purpose of this study was to determine whether ghrelin attenuates brain injury in a rat model of TBI and uncontrolled hemorrhage (UH). To study this, brain injury was induced by dropping a 450-g weight from 1.5 m onto a steel helmet attached to the skull of male adult rats. Immediately after TBI, a midline laparotomy was performed and both lumbar veins were isolated and severed at the junction with the vena cava. At 45 min after TBI/UH, ghrelin (4, 8 or 16 nmol/rat) or 1 mL normal saline (vehicle) was intravenously administered. Brain levels of TNF-α and IL-6, and cleaved PARP-1 levels in the cortex were measured at 4 h after TBI/UH. Beam balance test, forelimb placing test and hindlimb placing test were used to assess sensorimotor and reflex function. In additional groups of animals, ghrelin (16 nmol/rat) or vehicle was subcutaneously (s.c.) administered daily for 10 d after TBI/UH. The animals were monitored for 28 d to record body weight changes, neurological severity scale and survival. Our results showed that ghrelin downregulated brain levels of TNF-α and IL-6, reduced cortical levels of cleaved PARP-1, improved sensorimotor and reflex functions, and decreased mortality after TBI/UH. Thus, ghrelin has a great potential to be further developed as an effective resuscitation approach for the trauma victims with brain injury and severe blood loss.
