Septic encephalopathies rapidly affect brain function without the involvement of a specific area causing a broad range of reversible neurologic symptoms. Capillary leakage including dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier has been proposed as a potential pathogenic mechanism in this entity. We tested the hypothesis that oxidative stress measured in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients suffering from septic encephalopathy could be linked to the neurologic symptoms of the disease. The neurologic symptoms of eleven patients with septic encephalopathy were described semiquantitatively through a score system. The ascorbate levels were significantly lower in both plasma and CSF from patients with septic encephalopathy than controls, and in CSF but not plasma this decrease correlated with the severity of neurologic symptoms. No significant changes were found for f -tocopherol. Our findings suggest that the short-term oxidative stress may be an important factor in the development of septic encephalopathy, possibly through dysregulation of the blood-brain barrier. 相似文献

Accessory gland secretions of male insects have many important functions including the formation of spermatophores. We used light and electron microscopy to investigate the structure of the accessory glands and posterior vasa deferentia of the carabid beetle Pterostichus nigrita to try to determine where spermatophore material is produced. Each accessory gland and posterior vas deferens had an outer layer of longitudinal muscle, beneath which was a layer of connective tissue and a thin band of circular muscle, all of which surrounded a layer of epithelial cells lining the lumen of the ducts. Based on the ultrastructure of the epithelial cells, and their secretory products, we identified two epithelial cell types in each region (distal and proximal) of the accessory glands and four types in the posterior vas deferens. Most secretory products, which stained positively for proteins and some mucins, were released into the lumen of the ducts by apocrine secretion. The accessory glands produced one type of secretory product whereas in posterior vasa deferentia, four types of secretory products were found layered in the lumen. Our results suggest that most of the structural material used to construct a spermatophore is produced by the cells of the posterior vasa deferentia. 相似文献

There is increasing observational evidence indicating that crystalline interfacial water layers play a central role in evolution and biology. For instance in cellular recognition processes, in particular during first contact events, where cells decide upon survival or entering apoptosis. Understanding water layers is thus crucial in biomedical engineering, specifically in the design of biomaterials inspired by biomimetic principles. Whereas there is ample experimental evidence for crystalline interfacial water layers on surfaces in air, their subaquatic presence could not be verified directly, so far. Analysing a polarity dependent asym- metry in the surface conductivity on hydrogenated nanocrystalline diamond, we show that crystalline interfacial water layers persist subaquatically. Nanoscopic interfacial water layers with an order different from that of bulk water have been identified at room temperature on both hydrophilic and hydrophobic model surfaces - in air and subaquatically. Their generalization and systematic inclusion into the catalogue of physical and chemical determinants of biocompatibility complete the biomimetic triangle. 相似文献
