In this study, the effect of the endosulfan on mice kidney was investigated at ultrastructural level. Moreover, biochemical analyses (G6PD, CAT, SOD, GSH and MDA) were determined in supernatant of kidney tissue. Endosulfan (13mg/kg/day body weight) was administered orally to mices via intragastric-during 10 days. The presence of mitochondrial degeneration in cytoplasm of proximal convoluted tubule cells were a striking feature. Furthermore, there was lipofuscin granules and membranous structures in some of proximal convoluted tubule cells. In some glomeruli, ultrastructural changes such as fusion in pedicels and focal thickening at glomerular basal membrane were seen. There were cytoplasmic bulges in some distal convoluted tubule cells. The biochemical results of the experimental group were significant when compared to the control. The effect of the endosulfan was mainly on the proximal convoluted tubule cells. Morever, the other parts of the nephron were effected. Thus, this degeneration in kidney may be thought that oxidative stress may play a role to the mediator in changing configuration of cell membrane and seem to account for the morphologic alteration of kidney. 相似文献

Structural rearrangements involving chromosome band 2p21 characterize a cytogenetic subgroup of benign thyroid tumors. To narrow down the breakpoints of these aberrations, we established two cell lines from benign thyroid tumors showing translocations involving 2p21. These two cell lines and one additional primary tumor were used for FISH-studies with 18 BAC clones. All breakpoints were mapped to a cluster of about 450 kb. 相似文献

Background
Oxidative stress biomarkers such as superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD), catalase (CAT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) play an important role in the pathogenesis or progression of numerous diseases. Data regarding the biological variation and analytical quality specifications (imprecision, bias and total error) for judging the acceptability of method performance for oxidative stress biomarkers in urine are conspicuously lacking in the literature. Such data are important in setting analytical quality specifications, assessing the utility of population reference intervals (index of individuality) and assessing the significance of changes in serial results from an individual (reference change value; RCV).Materials and methods
20 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 20 patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) and 14 healthy individuals as control were involved in this study. Timed first morning urine samples were taken from patients and healthy groups on the zero, 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 15th and 30th days. Index of individuality and reference change value were calculated from within-subject and between-subject variations. Methods of oxidative stress biomarkers in human blood were adopted in human urine and markers were measured as spectrophotometrically. Also, analytical quality specifications for evaluation of the method performance were established for oxidative stress biomarkers in urine.Results
Within-subject variations of oxidative stress biomarkers were significantly higher in patients with DN and T2DM compared to healthy subjects. MDA showed low individuality, and within-subject variances of MDA were larger than between-subject variances in all groups. However, CAT and CuZnSOD showed strong individuality, but within-subject variances of them were smaller than between-subject variances in all groups. RCVs of all analytes in diabetic patients were relatively higher, because of high within-subject variation, resulting in a higher RCV. Also, the described methodology achieves these goals, with analytical CVs of < 3.5% for all analytes. Goals for bias and total error were 6.0-7.9% and 12.5-23.3%, respectively.Conclusions
RCVs concept for predicting the clinical status in diabetic patients represents an optimization of laboratory reporting and could be a valuable tool for clinical decision. Furthermore, for oxidative stress biomarkers’ measurements in urine, the desirable imprecision goals based on biological variation are obtainable by current methodologies. 相似文献4.

We aimed to determine whether patients with subclinical hyperthyroidism (SH) are subject to oxidative stress. Twenty-two women and 8 men having endogenous subclinical hyperthyroidism for a duration of at least 6 months, and 21 women and 9 men healthy controls were included in this study. We measured the level of plasma malondialdehyde, as one of the lipid peroxidation markers, and the activity of erythrocyte superoxide dismutase, which is an antioxidant enzyme. The activity of erythrocyte superoxide dismutase and plasma malondialdehyde levels were found to be significantly higher in subjects with subclinical hyperthyroidism than the control group (P < .01). The results of this study suggest that oxidative stress and antioxidative response could be increased in patients having subclinical hyperthyroidism. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of supplemental antioxidant vitamins and minerals on lipid peroxidation
and on the antioxidant systems in rabbits exposed to X-rays. The rabbits were divided into two experimental groups and one
control group, each group containing seven rabbits. The first group (VG) received daily oral doses of vitamin E (460 mg/kg
live weight) and vitamin C (100 mg/kg live weight). The second group (MG) was fed a mineral-enriched diet that contained 60
mg manganese chloride, 40 mg zinc sulfate, and 5 mg copper sulfate per kilogram of feed. The third group served as controls
and received only a standard diet. Blood samples were obtained before and after the supplementation with vitamins or minerals,
as well as before and after irradiation with a total dose of 550-rad X-rays. The blood samples were analyzed for their content
of malondialdehyde (MDA), plasma vitamins C and E, retinol, reduced glutathione (GSH), and glutathione peroxidase activity
(GPx). After irradiation, the control group showed increased levels of MDA and activity of GPx (p<0.05), whereas the levels of GSH, vitamin C, and vitamin E were decreased. In the VG, the concentration of MDA was lower
(p<0.05), and the concentration of GSH and vitamins C and E were higher (p<0.05) when compared to controls. In the MG, the concentrations of MDA, GSH, vitamin C, and retinol were not affected by the
mineral administration and radiation. The level of vitamin E in the MG increased with mineral administration (p<0.05), but decreased after irradiation (p<0.05). For the control group, the level of GSH was higher than in the two experimental groups. After irradiation, the VG
animals had vitamin E and C levels that were higher than in MG and control groups (p<0.05). The activity of GPx was not affected by vitamin or mineral supplementation or by irradiation. We conclude that the
supplementation with antioxidant vitamins and minerals may serve to reinforce the antioxidant systems, thus having a protective
effect against cell damage by X-rays. 相似文献

Acne vulgaris is one of the common dermatological diseases and its pathogenesis is multifactorial. In this study, we aim to determine the effects of oxidative stress in acne vulgaris. Forty-three consecutive acne patients and 46 controls were enrolled. The parameters of oxidative stress such as catalase (CAT), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the venous blood of cases were measured spectrophotometrically. The values compared with control group, the relation between the severity and distribution of acne, and the correlation of each enzyme level were researched. CAT and G6PD levels in patients were found to be statistically decreased, and SOD and MDA levels were found to be statistically increased (P < .001). However, any statistical difference and correlation could not be found between the severity and distribution of lesions and the mean levels of enzymes. In addition, we found that each enzyme is correlated with one another. Our findings show that oxidative stress exists in the acne patients. It will be useful to apply at least one antioxidant featured drug along with the combined acne treatment. 相似文献

Structural rearrangements involving the long arm of chromosome 19 characterize a cytogenetic subgroup of benign thyroid tumors and constitute one of the most frequent specific chromosome abnormalities in epithelial tumors. Recently, we have been able to narrow down the breakpoint region affected in two cell lines to a region covered by a single PAC clone. Close to that region a candidate gene has been identified which we tentatively referred to as RITA (Rearranged In Thyroid Adenomas) now named ZNF331 according to HUGO nomenclature. However, the results had been obtained on two cell lines only making it necessary to extend the studies to a larger number of tumors including primary material. Herein, we have used four further primary tumors showing translocations involving 19q13 for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) mapping studies using a variety of molecular probes from a 470-kbp cosmid/BAC contig. Ten new STSs were characterized and physically mapped within an EcoRI restriction map. The results enabled us to define an approximately 150-kbp breakpoint cluster region of the 19q13 aberrations in benign thyroid tumors flanked by two newly established STS markers. 相似文献

Protein energy malnutrition has become a major health issue in developing countries. In the present study, the effect of protein
deficiency on the small intestine and liver tissue content of macroelements and trace elements was investigated in weanling
rats. Forty-five male weanling Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups. The control group (C) was fed a standard
diet containing 25% casein, whereas the two experimental groups E1 and E2 consumed 12% and 3% casein, respectively, over a
period of 45 d. The tissue samples were analyzed for zinc, copper, iron, manganese, calcium, and magnesium by atomic absorption
spectroscopy. The protein-deficient groups showed increased levels of iron in both tissues and decreased manganese in small
intestine tissue from the E1 group. No other differences were found for the other elements. These results suggest that protein
deficiency might cause iron accumulation in the liver and intestine and decreases of manganese in the small intestine. 相似文献

Mechanical properties of myofibroblasts play a key role in Dupuytren's disease. Here, we used atomic force microscopy to measure the viscoelastic properties of 3 different types of human primary fibroblasts derived from a same patient: normal and scar dermal fibroblasts and palmar fascial fibroblasts from Dupuytren's nodules. Different stiffness hydrogels (soft ~1 kPa and stiff ~ 50 kPa) were used as cell culture matrix to mimic the mechanical properties of the natural tissues, and atomic force microscopy step response force curves were used to discriminate between elastic and viscous properties of cells. Since transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1) is known to induce expression of α–smooth muscle actin positive stress fibers in myofibroblasts, we investigated the behavior of these fibroblasts before and after applying TGF‐β1. Finally, we performed an in vitro cell motility test, the wound healing or scratch assay, to evaluate the migratory properties of these fibroblasts. We found that (1) Dupuytren's fibroblasts are stiffer than normal and scar fibroblasts, the elastic modulus E ranging from 4.4, 2.1, to 1.8 kPa, for Dupuytren's, normal and scar fibroblasts, respectively; (2) TGF‐β1 enhances the level of α–smooth muscle actin expression and thus cell stiffness in Dupuytren's fibroblasts (E, ~6.2 kPa); (3) matrix stiffness influences cell mechanical properties most prominently in Dupuytren's fibroblasts; and (4) Dupuytren's fibroblasts migrate slower than the other fibroblasts by a factor of 3. Taking together, our results showed that mechanical and migratory properties of fibroblasts might help to discriminate between different pathological conditions, helping to identify and recognize specific cell phenotypes. 相似文献

The cytogenetic results from a series of 113 thyroid hyperplasias and adenomas are reported; 15 showed clonal karyotypic alterations. In addition to a group showing translocations involving 19q13, another subset of lesions characterized by polysomies can be found. Based on our own cases belonging to this subset and a review of the cases reported in the literature, we conclude that the characteristic feature of this group is a sequence that always starts with trisomy 7, but that sometimes even leads to chromosome numbers in the hypertriploid range. This subset of thyroid tumors may be an example of a more common genetic pathway in human solid tumors. 相似文献
