Patterns othepatocellular death were studiedmorphologically and biochemically, circulatingcytokines (TNF-a, IFN--y ) and mice mortalitywithin 24h was assessed.RESU’LTS The SEB could induce the typicalapoptotic changes of hepatocytes, the D-GaiNcould induce hepatocytes apoptosis anddegeneration at the same time, and the micehaving received the SEB + D-GaiN injectionsdeveloped apoptosis at 2 and 6 h, but after 12 hhepatocytes were characterized by severein jury, whereas all the examinations in thecyclosporin A treated mice were normal.CONCLUSION Hepatic cell apoptosis might berelated to necrosis, and massive hepatocyteapoptosis is likely the initiating step of acutehepatic necrosis in mice. The effects induced bySEB and D--GaiN on hepatocytes might bemediated by T cells, and could be prevented bycyclosporin A.展开更多

However, the gap between the low availability of organs and high demand is continuously increasing. Innovative strategies for organ protection are necessary to expand donor pool and to achieve better outcomes for liver transplantation. The present review analyzed and compared various strategies of liver protection.DATA SOURCES: Databases such as PubM ed, Embase and Ovid were searched for the literature related to donor liver protection strategies using following key words: "ischemia reperfusion injury", "graft preservation", "liver transplantation", "machine perfusion" and "conditioning". Of the 146 studies identified,only those with cutting edge strategies were analyzed.RESULTS: A variety of therapeutic approaches were proposed to alleviate graft ischemia/reperfusion injury, which included static cold storage, machine perfusion (hypothermic, normothermic and subnormothermic), manual conditioning (pre,post and remote), and pharmacological conditioning. Evidences from animal experiments and clinical trials suggested that all these strategies could potentially protect liver graft; however, their clinical applications are limited partially due to their own disadvantages.CONCLUSIONS: There are a plenty of methods suggested to decrease the degree of donor liver transplantation-related injury. However, none of these approaches is perfect in clinical practice. More translational researches (molecular and clinical studies) are needed to improve the techniques in liver graft protection.展开更多

METHODS: Immunological markers and pathological changes in 3 patients undergoing auxiliary liver transplantation were analysed. RESULTS: The lower the concentration of immunosuppressive agent, the less the rejection and the milder the intensity in the 3 patients. The function of allograft after auxiliary liver transplantation was excellent. CONCLUSIONS: Patients are in a low immune reaction state after auxiliary liver transplantation. Auxiliary liver can protect other allografts by related immunological mechanisms. The side-effects of low-concentration immunosuppressive agents on auxiliary liver and other allografts are mild.展开更多

We observed that BMP effectively inhibited the body weight gain and lipid accumulation in the liver, ameliorated glucose intolerance, and increased the colon weight after an 8-week treatment compared to that in the high-fat diet (HFD) group. BMP significantly decreased fecal water toxicity towards HT-29 cells, as revealed by the cell counting kit (CCK)-8 assay results, and the mRNA expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in colon mucosa. Additionally, gut permeability in the BMP group was restored to normal levels. Finally, BMP alleviated the inflammatory state of the rat colon mucosa and liver tissues as well as the systemic inflammation.展开更多

Animals were given intraperitoneally different doses (8,40 or 200 mg·kg-1 daily) of CBD for 21 days, and the following dose-dependent events were observed: liver damage, significant increase in liver lipid peroxides, and decreases in activities of erythrocytic glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). The pretreatment of rats with vitamin E (po 150 mg·kg-1) before administering CBD (iP 60 mg·kg-1 ) daily for 21 days prevented the following CBD-induced changes, the increase in serum cholylglycine (CG), hepatic LP, hepatic mitochondrion LP, hepatic oxidized glutathione (GSSG) (while the significant increase of reduced glutathione (GSH) was not affected) and the decrease in activities of erythrocytic SOD and hepatic mitochondrial calcium sequestration. These results suggest that lipid peroxidation and perturbance of Ca2+ homeostasis appear to contribute to the hepatotoxicity of CBD, and vitamin E might prevent the liver damage induced by CBD. The decrease in activities of GSH-Px and SOD in erythrocytes might be used as biomarkers for adverse effects of CBD on defense system against lipid peroxidation.展开更多

FP had enhancing effects on the covalent binding of CCl4 reactive metabolites to cellular constituents and on CCl4 induced lipid peroaldation.FP lowered bOdy temperature of the CCl4-poisoned animals during the 24 h observation period. The obtained results are compatible but do not prove the hypothesis that calmodulin (CaM) had participation in late occurring events preceding necrosis. FP lowering action on body temperature, however, might also play a role in the effects of this drug on the onset of CCl4 induced liver necrosis. FP levels in liver tissue as determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry evidenced the presence of the drug in amounts suffi cient to inhibit CaM and that suggests that not all preventive effects of FP are due to its indirect actions on the central nervous system via decreased body temperature展开更多

Acute liver injury model was built by one-time alcohol gavage. The mice were randomly divided into VCFP-treated groups( low-,medium-,and highdose),alcohol model group and normal control group at the same time. VCFP-treated groups were administrated polysaccharide intragastrically continuously for4 weeks; and the alcohol model group and normal control group were administrated intragastrically the same amount of normal saline. The general situation and liver tissue morphological structure changes were observed. The results showed that the levels of ALT,AST,TC,TG,MDA contents,and CAT and GSH-Px activity of mice in the model group increased significantly( P 〈 0. 01),while the activity of SOD and weight and liver index decreased significantly( P 〈 0. 01) compared with the normal control group. After 4 weeks of gavage,VCFP could significantly improve weight,liver index and SOD activity,and significantly reduce ALT,AST,TC and TG levels,MDA content and CAT and GSH-Px activity. These results suggest that VCFP can improve antioxidant enzyme activity,remove oxygen free radical and reduce membrane lipid peroxidation reaction,thereby protecting liver cells.展开更多

文摘This study was conducted to investigate the protective mechanism of V. coloratum fruit polysaccharides( VCFP) on mice with acute alcoholic liver injury. Acute liver injury model was built by one-time alcohol gavage. The mice were randomly divided into VCFP-treated groups( low-,medium-,and highdose),alcohol model group and normal control group at the same time. VCFP-treated groups were administrated polysaccharide intragastrically continuously for4 weeks; and the alcohol model group and normal control group were administrated intragastrically the same amount of normal saline. The general situation and liver tissue morphological structure changes were observed. The results showed that the levels of ALT,AST,TC,TG,MDA contents,and CAT and GSH-Px activity of mice in the model group increased significantly( P 〈 0. 01),while the activity of SOD and weight and liver index decreased significantly( P 〈 0. 01) compared with the normal control group. After 4 weeks of gavage,VCFP could significantly improve weight,liver index and SOD activity,and significantly reduce ALT,AST,TC and TG levels,MDA content and CAT and GSH-Px activity. These results suggest that VCFP can improve antioxidant enzyme activity,remove oxygen free radical and reduce membrane lipid peroxidation reaction,thereby protecting liver cells.
