Oxidative stress in semen is essentially due to excessive production of oxygen-reactive species (ORS) essentially derived from leukocytes. DNA oxidation is due to the direct action of ORS which produce several adducts the most extensively studied of which is 8-oxo-guanine. Integrity of DNA is essential for the fertility of sperm and is an important subject of research for scientists and clinicians all over the world. Although evaluation of the global integrity of sperm DNA has considerably developed over recent years, few tests are available to document oxidative DNA damage. This study was designed to review the various tests of sperm DNA integrity commonly used in the literature and to present the results of our study on DNA oxidation with 8-oxo-guanine labelling by flow cytometry in infertile men. This study was based on 15 semen samples that were submitted to sperm analysis according to WHO guidelines, with determination of the leukocyte concentration by a cytochemical method revealing peroxidase in cytoplasmic granulations. The DNA oxidation study was performed with 8-oxo-guanine labelling by flow cytometry. Linear regression analysis showed a strong correlation between DNA oxidation and leukocyte count in the semen (p = 0.006, r = 0.7). A leukocyte cut-off of 250,000/ml of semen was associated with a significant increase of DNA oxidation (p = 0.03). 8-oxo-guanine can therefore be considered to be a biological marker of the direct action of oxidative stress on sperm DNA which appears to be susceptible to relatively low levels of ORS produced by leukocytes present at concentrations well below the limit of leukospermia defined by WHO. 相似文献

Velocity fields have been measured in models simulating arterial stenoses for continuous and revolution flows. A pulsed Doppler velocimeter allows for velocity readings in the entire tube and in the wall area. Streamlines are determined by numerical solving of the system of equations defining the current function. Velocity profiles and streamlines are presented and discussed either for steady or for unsteady flows, with different Reynolds numbers and variable degrees of stenosis. There is, in the wall area, a recirculating zone made of a well-defined rouleau. Its length varies increasingly according to the increasing severity of the stenosis. The stability of axial flow depends on the input profile, the degree of stenosis and the Reynolds number. Plotting streamlines allows to describe accurately the flow; its quantitative aspect offers advantages with respect to conventional visualization mode. 相似文献

Amido derivatives 10-18 of the corresponding oxyamines were synthesised as melatoninergic ligands by the reaction of hydroxyphtalimide with the halogeno derivatives or the corresponding alcohols using Mitsunobu reaction conditions. The affinity of the compounds for chicken brain melatonin receptors and recombinant human MT(1) and MT(2) receptors was evaluated using 2-[125I]-iodomelatonin as the radioligand. Overall, the introduction of an oxygen atom in the amido chain was not a favourable parameter as the compounds were less potent than the corresponding deoxy derivatives. However, nanomolar compounds were obtained with the arylethyloxy derivatives (13c (R'=nPr), chicken brain, hMT(1), hMT(2), K(i) values: 4.8, 3.86, 2.4 nM, respectively) and the 2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene derivatives (17c (R'=nPr), chicken brain, hMT(1), hMT(2), K(i) values: 0.04, 0.13, 0.1 nM, respectively). The functional activity of these compounds was evaluated by the aggregation of melanophores in Xenopus laevis tadpoles and the potency was related to the affinity of the molecules for melatonin receptors. The compounds were found to be full agonists and compound 17a was 20-fold more potent than melatonin in this bioassay. 相似文献

The aim of this study was (i) to evaluate whether homocysteine (Hcy), total antioxidant status (TAS), and biological markers of muscle injury would be affected by time of day (TOD) in football players and (ii) to establish a relationship between diurnal variation of these biomarkers and the daytime rhythm of power and muscle fatigue during repeated sprint ability (RSA) exercise. In counterbalanced order, 12 football (soccer) players performed an RSA test (5 x[6 s of maximal cycling sprint + 24 s of rest]) on two different occasions: 07:00-08:30 h and 17:00-18:30 h. Fasting blood samples were collected from a forearm vein before and 3-5 min after each RSA test. Core temperature, rating of perceived exertion, and performances (i.e., Sprint 1, Sprint 2, and power decrease) during the RSA test were significantly higher at 17:00 than 07:00 h (p < .001, p < .05, and p < .05, respectively). The results also showed significant diurnal variation of resting Hcy levels and all biological markers of muscle injury with acrophases (peak times) observed at 17:00 h. These fluctuations persisted after the RSA test. However, biomarkers of antioxidant status' resting levels (i.e., total antioxidant status, uric acid, and total bilirubin) were higher in the morning. This TOD effect was suppressed after exercise for TAS and uric acid. In conclusion, the present study confirms diurnal variation of Hcy, selected biological markers of cellular damage, and antioxidant status in young football players. Also, the higher performances and muscle fatigue showed in the evening during RSA exercise might be due to higher levels of biological markers of muscle injury and lower antioxidant status at this TOD. 相似文献

Background
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a frequent gastrointestinal disorder that causes significant morbidity, and its incidence has been progressively increasing. AP starts as a local inflammation in the pancreas that often leads to systemic inflammatory response and complications. Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is a cytosolic enzyme whose inhibition in murine models has beneficial effects in inflammatory diseases, but its significance in AP remains unexplored.Methodology/Principal Findings
To investigate whether sEH may have a causal role in AP we utilized Ephx2 knockout (KO) mice to determine the effects of sEH deficiency on cerulein- and arginine-induced AP. sEH expression increased at the protein and messenger RNA levels, as well as enzymatic activity in the early phase of cerulein- and arginine-induced AP in mice. In addition, amylase and lipase levels were lower in cerulein-treated Ephx2 KO mice compared with controls. Moreover, pancreatic mRNA and serum concentrations of the inflammatory cytokines IL-1B and IL-6 were lower in cerulein-treated Ephx2 KO mice compared with controls. Further, Ephx2 KO mice exhibited decreased cerulein- and arginine-induced NF-κB inflammatory response, MAPKs activation and decreased cell death. Conclusions -These findings demonstrate a novel role for sEH in the progression of cerulein- and arginine-induced AP. 相似文献28.

Approaches based on association studies have proven useful in identifying genetic predictors for many diseases, including susceptibility to chronic hepatitis B. In this study we were interested by the IL-1B genetic variants that have been involved in the immune response and we analyzed their role in the susceptibility to develop chronic hepatitis B in the Tunisian population. IL - 1B is a potent proinflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in inflammation of the liver. Polymorphic gene IL-1 ( − 511, +3954) was analyzed in a total of 476 individuals: 236 patients with chronic hepatitis B from different cities of Tunisia recruited in Pasteur Institute between January 2017 and December 2018 and 240 controls. Genomic DNA was obtained using the standard salting-out method and genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism. For − 511C>T polymorphism a significant association was found between patients and controls when comparing the genotypic (P = 0.007; χ2 = 9.74 and odds ratio [OR] = 0.60; confidence interval [CI] = 0.41–0.89) and allelic (P = 0.001; χ2 = 10.60) frequencies. When the viral load was taken into account a highly significant difference was found (P = 9 × 10−4; χ2 = 10.89). For +3954C>T polymorphism a significant association was found between patients and controls when comparing genotypic (P = 0.0058; χ2 = 7.60 and OR = 1.67; CI = 1.14–2.46) and allelic (P = 0.0029; χ2 = 8.81) frequencies. T allele can be used as a strong marker for hepatitis B virus disease for both polymorphisms. 相似文献

The goal of this study was to generate cell lines from a variety of insect tissues that could be useful for developing in vitro assays with tissue-specific properties. In this article, we describe the establishment of new cell cultures from differentiated (primarily neural) and undifferentiated tissues (primarily embryonic) and their initial characterization. Cell lines were established from the following tissues of the budworm, Heliothis virescens, and the bollworm, Helicoverpa zea: larval ventral nerve cords (4 lines), larval midguts (1 line), adult ovaries (1 line), and embryonic tissues (11 lines). Cell lines were primarily characterized by morphological examination and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (both deoxyribonucleic acid amplification fingerprinting and inter-simple sequence repeats PCR). 相似文献
