Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group, IR group, IR+ Sodium Hydrosulphide (NariS) group and IR+ DL-propargylglycine (PPG) group. IR group as lung injury model induced by LIR were given 4 h reperfusion following 4 h ischemia of bilateral hindlimbs with rubber bands. NariS (0.78 mg/kg) as exogenous H2S donor and PPG (60 mg/kg) which can suppress endogenous H2S production were administrated before LIR, respectively. The lungs were removed for histologic analysis, the determination of wet-to-dry weight ratios and the measurement of mRNA and protein levels of aquaporin-1 (AQP1), aquaporin-5 (AQP5) as indexes of water transport abnormality, and mRNA and protein levels of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), myeloid differentiation primary-response gene 88 (MyD88) and p-NF-KB as indexes of inflammation. Results LIR induced lung injury was accompanied with upregulation of TLR4-Myd88-NF-κB pathway and downregulation of AQP1/AQP5. NariS pre-treatment reduced lung injury with increasing AQP1/AQP5 expression and inhibition of TLR4-Myd88-NF-KB pathway, but PPG adjusted AO.PJAO.Ps and TLR4 pathway to the opposite side and exacerbated lung injury. Conclusion Endogenous H2S, TLR4-Myd88-NF-κB pathway and AQP1/AQP5 were involved in LIR induced lung injury. Increased H2S would alleviate lung injury and the effect is at least partially depend on the adjustment of TLR4-Myd88-NF-κB pathway and AQP1/AQP5 expression to reduce inflammatory reaction and lessen pulmonary edema.展开更多

METHODS:The animal model of gastric ischemia reperfusion was established by placing an elastic rubber band on the proximal part of the bilateral lower limb for ligature for 3 h and reperfusion for 0,1,3,6,12 or 24 h. Ischemic post-conditioning,three cycles of 30-s reperfusion and 30-s femoral aortic reocclusion were conducted before reperfusion. Histological and immunohistochemical methods were used to assess the gastric oxidative damage and the expression of HIF1-α in gastric ischemia. The malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD),xanthine oxidase (XOD) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities were determined by colorimetric assays. RESULTS:Ischemic post-conditioning can reduce post-ischemic oxidative stress and the expression of HIF-1α of gastric tissue resulting from limb ischemia reperfusion injury. MDA,SOD,XOD and MPO were regarded as indexes for mucosal injuries from ROS,and ROS was found to affect the expression of HIF-1α under gastric ischemic conditions. CONCLUSION:ROS affects HIF-1α expression under gastric ischemic conditions induced by limb ischemia reperfusion injury. Therefore,ROS can regulate HIF-1α expression in gastric ischemia.展开更多

In Group I , the rats underwent 30-minute occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery, and 120-minute reperfusion. In Group PL, the rats underwent four cycles of 5-minute occlusion and reperfusion of both hind limbs using a tourniquet before the experiment was continued as in Group I. In Group PL-N and Group PL-,, we administered L-nitro-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) 10 mg/kg or hexamethonium chloride 20 mg,/kg intravenously, 10 minutes before IPC. Infarct size as a percentage of the area at risk was determined by triphenyhetrazolium chloride staining.Results There were no statistically significant differences in mean arterial pressure and heart rate among these groups at any time point during the experiment ( P〉0. 05 ). The myocardial infarct size (IS) was decreased significantly in Group PL and Group PL-U compared with Group I , and the IS/AAR was 34. 5%± 7.6%, 35.9%±8.6% and58.5%±8.5%, respectively (P〈0.05). The IS/AAR was 49.1%±6.5% in Group PEN, and there was no significant difference compared with Group I (P〉0. 05 ).Conclusions Noninvasive limb IPC is effective in protecting the myocardium from ischemia reperfusion injury. Nitric oxide plays an important role in the mechanism of acute remote IPC, in which the neurogenic pathway is not involved.展开更多

文摘AIM:To investigate the relation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to hypoxia induced factor 1α (HIF-1α) in gastric ischemia. METHODS:The animal model of gastric ischemia reperfusion was established by placing an elastic rubber band on the proximal part of the bilateral lower limb for ligature for 3 h and reperfusion for 0,1,3,6,12 or 24 h. Ischemic post-conditioning,three cycles of 30-s reperfusion and 30-s femoral aortic reocclusion were conducted before reperfusion. Histological and immunohistochemical methods were used to assess the gastric oxidative damage and the expression of HIF1-α in gastric ischemia. The malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD),xanthine oxidase (XOD) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities were determined by colorimetric assays. RESULTS:Ischemic post-conditioning can reduce post-ischemic oxidative stress and the expression of HIF-1α of gastric tissue resulting from limb ischemia reperfusion injury. MDA,SOD,XOD and MPO were regarded as indexes for mucosal injuries from ROS,and ROS was found to affect the expression of HIF-1α under gastric ischemic conditions. CONCLUSION:ROS affects HIF-1α expression under gastric ischemic conditions induced by limb ischemia reperfusion injury. Therefore,ROS can regulate HIF-1α expression in gastric ischemia.
文摘Background Both ischemic preconditioning (IPC) and limb remote ischemic postconditioning (LRIPOC) have been shown to possess significantly different cardioprotective effects against the myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI), but no study has compared the anti-inflammatory effects of IPC and LRIPOC during myocardial IRI process. We hypothesized that IPC and LRIPOC would produce different anti-inflammatory effects in an in vivo rat model with myocardial IRI.

The myocardial infarct size (IS) was decreased significantly in Group PL and Group PL-U compared with Group I , and the IS/AAR was 34. 5%± 7.6%, 35.9%±8.6% and58.5%±8.5%, respectively (P〈0.05). The IS/AAR was 49.1%±6.5% in Group PEN, and there was no significant difference compared with Group I (P〉0. 05 ).Conclusions Noninvasive limb IPC is effective in protecting the myocardium from ischemia reperfusion injury. Nitric oxide plays an important role in the mechanism of acute remote IPC, in which the neurogenic pathway is not involved.

文摘Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common disease accompanied with a high incidence of hind limb ischemia (HLI).In recent years,numerous studies demonstrated that endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are involved in angiogenesis and maintenance of vascular integrity following HLI.On the other side,it has been proved that Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) could promote angiogenesis.In the present study,we aimed to evaluate the effect of APS and EPCs on enhancing angiogenesis after experimental HLI caused by femoral artery ligation in rats with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes.Methods Rats (n=110) were randomly assigned to the following groups:sham group,ischemia group,APS group,EPCs group and APS+EPCs group.APS,EPCs or an equal volume of vehicle was administered intramuscularly after HLI induction,and 6 rats were assessed by angiography at 28 days after induction of HLI,6 rats were sacrificed at the same time point to take histological studies,biochemical tests were also performed at that point in the rest rats.Results APS or EPCs treatment induced an increase,respectively,in the protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (36.61%,61.59%),VEGF receptor-1 (VEGFR-1) (35.50%,57.33%),VEGFR-2 (31.75%,41.89%),Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) (37.57%,64.66%) and Tie-2 (42.55%,76.94%) (P 〈0.05),after HLI injury.And combined therapy of APS and EPCs enhanced the effort of angiogenesis after HLI induction in diabetic rats,through elevating protein expression of VEGF (99.67%),VEGFR-1 (105.33%),VEGFR2 (72.05%),Ang-1 (114.30%) and Tie-2 (111.87%) (P〈0.05).Similarly,mRNA expression of VEGF,VEGFR-1,VEGFR2,Ang-1,Tie-2 also show similar trends as well as protein expression (P〈0.05).Conclusion APS or EPCs could enhance angiogenesis,and the combined treatment leads to better effort,at least,partially via VEGFNEGFR and Ang-1/Tie-2 signaling pathway.
