扁桃酸对小鼠腹水中假包囊内弓形虫速殖子的作用

The effect of mandelic acid on toxoplasmic pseudocyst in mice

目的 观察扁桃酸治疗弓形虫感染小鼠腹水中假包囊及其内弓形虫速殖子形态结构的变化。方法 弓形虫RH株感染小鼠 ,扁桃酸 2 0 0mg·kg- 1,2次·d- 1,经口灌服和静脉注射给药 ,分别在 2 4h、72h和死亡后取腹水涂片 ,应用Giemsa染色和透射电镜观察弓形虫速殖子形态结构 ,并计算小鼠存活时间。结果 光镜下虫体细胞膜迂曲断裂 ,胞质中出现空泡和颗粒样物质 ,细胞核碎裂 ;电镜下虫体细胞膜、细胞器、细胞核的破坏更明显。扁桃酸治疗组小鼠存活时间 (口服组 8.0d ,注射组 6.8d)均明显长于阳性对照组 (5.5d ,P <0 .0 5)。结论 扁桃酸可透过假包囊而直接作用于其内的速殖子 。

Objective To observe the change of Toxoplasma g ondii tachyziote in pseudocyst. Methods The mice infected by RH Toxoplasma were treated with mandelic acid (200 mg·kg -1 , twice daily) orally or intravenously, then ascites was taken out to smear in 24 h, 72 h and the time of death, with Giemsa dye and transmission electronic microscope (TEM), the survival time was c alculated. Results Under the light microscope, the cell mem brane of tachyzoite was tortous and broken, the bubble and pelletish material we re observed in cytoplasm, cell nucleus was split; but the cell membrane, organs and nucleus were destroyed more obviously under the TEM than those under the lig ht microscope. Meanwhile the living time of mice treated by mandelic acid (8.0 d ays in oral administration group and 6.8 days in intravenous administration grou p) was obviously longer than that in positive control group(5.5 days, P <0.0 5). Conclusion Mandelic acid may penertrate the cell membrane t o directly destroy the tachyzoite in pseudocyst, and it has an obvious effect on Toxoplasma gondii .
