It has been proposed that taurine may function as an oxidant in a dose-dependent manner in vivo and in vitro. The present
study was carried out to investigate the relationship between taurine concentration and 3-nitrotyrosine level, a stable marker
of peroxynitrite action, in hepatocytes of guinea pig in endotoxemia before and after taurine administration. The levels of
taurine and 3-nitrotyrosine were measured by HPLC method. In the present study, taurine was low concentration in hepatocytes
exposed to endotoxemia. In taurine plus endotoxin treated animals, HPLC analysis showed higher taurine level compared with
animals only supplemented with taurine. But 3-nitrotyrosine levels were same in both taurine alone and taurine plus endotoxin
groups. In conclusion, taurine is able to prevent the damaging effect of peroxynitrite, at concentration measured in hepatocytes,
in our experimental conditions. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to assess the effect of T-2 toxin on the antioxidant status of the chicken and to study possible protective effects of modified glucomannan (Mycosorb) and organic selenium (Sel-Plex). Inclusion of T-2 toxin in the chickens' diet (8.1 mg/kg for 21 days) was associated with significant decreases in the concentrations of selenium (Se)(by 32.2%), alpha-tocopherol (by 41.4%), total carotenoids (by 56.5%), ascorbic acid (by 43.5%) and reduced glutathione (by 56.3%) in the liver, as well as a decrease in the hepatic activity of Se-dependent glutathione peroxidase (Se-GSH-Px) (by 36.8%). However, inclusion of modified glucomannans into the T-2 toxin-contaminated diet provided a partial protection against the detrimental effects of the mycotoxin on the antioxidant defences in the chicken liver. For example, the Se concentration in the liver was restored completely, although the Se-GSH-Px activity in the liver increased to only 81% of its control value. These protective effects of modified glucomannas were associated with a 45% reduction of lipid peroxidation in the liver in comparison to the effects of T-2 toxin alone. A combination of modified glucomannas with organic Se was shown to provide further protection against toxin-induced antioxidant depletion and lipid peroxidation in the chicken liver. Thus, the data clearly indicate a major protective effect of the mycotoxin-binder in combination with organic Se against the detrimental consequences of T-2 toxin-contaminated feed consumption by growing chickens. 相似文献

Protease inhibitors (PIs) are generally small proteins that have been identified in plants. The wip1 gene codes for wound-induced protein, which is similar to serine PIs of the Bowman-Birk family (BBIs). In this study, we analyzed 10 wip1 genes of Turkish maize varieties to understand the structure and characteristics of the wip1 genes and proteins in maize. We found that genetic variability of wip1 genes was higher (π: 0.0173) than reported in previous studies. Tajima’s D value was found to be positive (1.73), suggesting over-dominant selection in these loci. According to phylogenetic analysis of wip1 proteins, monocot and dicot BBIs were separated independently, and Turkish varieties were clustered with each other generally. The 3D structures of wip1 proteins indicated that several wip1 proteins had structural divergence in active loops, containing various numbers of cysteine residues ranging between 7 and 9. Particularly, Cys74 was identified in Kocbey and Gozdem varieties, whereas Cys98 was only in the Gozdem variety. Also, a critical serine residue (Ser98) was observed in two varieties — Antbey and Batem Efe. These results can contribute to understanding the role of wip1 genes and corresponding proteins in maize. 相似文献

The effects of supplementation of the maternal diet of quail with three natural sources of carotenoids (alfalfa nutrient concentrate (PX agrotrade mark), tomato powder and marigold extract) on the accumulation of retinol and retinyl esters in egg yolk and in the liver of the new hatchling and maternal were investigated. The present study showed that the vitamin A in quail egg yolk was present in 4 different forms, namely retinol (R 52-62%), retinyl linoleate (RL 9-11%), retinyl stearate (RS 4%), retinyl oleate (RO 11-15%) and retinyl palmitate (RP 13-22%). The retinyl ester profile of the liver of newly hatched quail (R 2-4%, RL 8-12%, RS 19-21%, RO 12-15%, RP 50-55%) differs from that of egg yolk but was similar to that of the liver of adult quail (R 1%, RL 5-6%, RS 21-28%, RO 9-12%, RP 54-63%). It has been shown that RO and RP concentrations in egg yolk and the liver of day old quail chick significantly increased as a result of carotenoid supplementation of the maternal diet. 相似文献

Background
Although the majority of solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura (SFTP) follow a benign course, 10–25% of patients suffer from recurrence or metastatic disease. Several scoring models have been proposed to predict the outcome. However, none of these included immunohistochemical (IHC) markers as possible prognosticators.Methods
In this multicenter study, we collected clinical data and formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks of patients with histologically proven SFTP which had been surgically resected between 2000 und 2015. After systematic and extensive IHC staining on tissue microarrays, the results were analyzed and compared to histomorphological and clinical data for their possible prognostic value.Results
In total, 78 patients (mean age 61?±?11 years) were included. Of these, 9 patients (11%) had an adverse outcome including SFTP recurrence (n?=?6) or SFTP-related death (n?=?3). Mean overall survival was 172?±?13 months. 1 and 10-year event-free survival rates were 99% and 93%. In the multivariable analysis only MIB-1 proliferation index (Ki-67) ≥10% (HR 12.3, CI 1.1–139.5, p?=?0.043), ≥4 mitoses per 10 high power fields (HR 36.5, CI 1.2–1103.7, p?=?0.039) and tumor size larger than 10 cm (HR 81.8, CI 1.7–4016.8, p?=?0.027) were independently associated with adverse outcome.Conclusion
A high proliferation rate by MIB-1 IHC was associated with impaired outcome. Upon this, we established a new score using mitosis, necrosis, size of the tumor and MIB-1, which performed better than the traditional scores in our data set. This prognostic score could help to better evaluate outcome of SFTP, but requires external validation.150.

Cerebral edema contributes significantly to morbidity and death associated with many common neurological disorders. However, current treatment options are limited to hyperosmolar agents and surgical decompression, therapies introduced more than 70 years ago. Here we show that mice deficient in aquaporin-4 (AQP4), a glial membrane water channel, have much better survival than wild-type mice in a model of brain edema caused by acute water intoxication. Brain tissue water content and swelling of pericapillary astrocytic foot processes in AQP4-deficient mice were significantly reduced. In another model of brain edema, focal ischemic stroke produced by middle cerebral artery occlusion, AQP4-deficient mice had improved neurological outcome. Cerebral edema, as measured by percentage of hemispheric enlargement at 24 h, was decreased by 35% in AQP4-deficient mice. These results implicate a key role for AQP4 in modulating brain water transport, and suggest that AQP4 inhibition may provide a new therapeutic option for reducing brain edema in a wide variety of cerebral disorders. 相似文献
