It was found that selenium content in the rat tissues decreased remarkably af-ter injury, which in turn resulted in serious reduction of glutathione peroxidasc activity and significantincrease of lipid peroxides in the scrum, crythrocytcs and liver. However the muscular tissue showedno significant changes. These facts imply that after burn injury, the body is in a state of selenium deficiency, the lossof selenium might be responsible for the reduction of anti - peroxidation ability of glutathioneperoxidase, and conscqucntly there is an increase of lipid peroxides in the tissues. Only the musculartissue is insensitive to lipid peroxidation. It is believed that the reduction of anti-peroxidation abilityof glutathione peroxidasc after bum injury might be one of the main causes to intensify, the injury re-suiting from free radicals.展开更多

Method:1.-703,606 treatment was performed in Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats at early stage after deep partial-thickness skin scalding.One hundred and fifty two adult male SI) rats were used in the study and randomly divided into sham scald(SS,n=8),scald control(SC,n=48),and L-703,606 treatment(IT,n=48) groups.The rats in SC and LT groups were subjected to 20%total body surface area(TBSA) deep partial-thickness skin scalding.Modified Evans blue extravasation, tracing electron microscopy by lanthanum nitrate and mean water content assay were employed to observe and detect the changes of vascular permeability,ultrastructure and edema formation in adjacent tissue to the wounds and in the jejuna of rats at early stage(72 h) after scald.Results: The pathological increase of vascular permeability in the periwound tissue and jejunum of rats in LT group were significantly lower than that in SC group(P【0.01),and recuperated earlier. Meanwhile,the changes of water contents of corresponding tissues in LT group were lighter than those in SC group(P【0.01).The ultrastructural changes of the microvessels in the peri-wound tissue of LT group showed that the junctions between microvascular endothelium cells were more narrow than those of SC group,moreover,and the number of opening and the engorgement and cavitation of the vascular endothelium cells decreased,the areosis and edema in perivascular tissue lightened,and the precipitation of the high eletron density lanthanum tracing agent in the interspace of the tissue decreased significantly in LT group.Conclusions:It is concluded that nonpeptide NK1-receptor antagonist L-703,606 could lighten the vascular permeability and edema formation in the periwound tissue and jejunum,and accelerate the normalization process of pathological changes in the tissues of rats after scald.展开更多

Methods: After a model of Balb/C mice inflictedwith 18%-- 20% TBSA full--thickness skin scald on the back and one hindleg was established, the proteincatabolic rate (TNR) and the level of 11.M6 in soleus muscle and serum were determined and the effects of IL6 on TNR of normal mice and those of 11.--6 antiserurn on TNR of the scalded mice wee observed during thefirst week after scalding. Results: The level of IL--6 was significantly increased and maintained during thefirst three days. TNR of the scalded leg was elevated to the peak on the 3rd day and then decreased graduallywhile that of the unscalded leg was increased only on the 2nd day after scalding. TNR was significantlyincreased when IL--6 was injected to the normal mice and IL--6 antiserum could significantly inhibit the. increased TNR of the scalded mice when it was injected intraperitoneally. Conclusion: The increase of IL--6 isrelated with local inflammatory response in the early stage after scalding and the high level of IL--6 canincrease the catabolic rate of muscle protein.展开更多

This study investigated the effects of 1-methylcyclopropene(1-MCP) and modified atmosphere packaging(MAP) on changes of fruit quality and superficial scald during cold storage and at shelf life in Yali pear. Compared with MAP, the combination of MAP and 1-MCP(MAP+1-MCP) treatment reduced the carbon dioxide and ethylene content inside the packaging bag. The 1-MCP, MAP, and MAP+1-MCP treatments reduced the superficial scald index, malondialdehyde content, O2^-· production rate and relative conductivity and inhibited the accumulation of α-farnesene and conjugated trienes in the peel. 1-MCP and MAP+1-MCP treatments maintained a higher phenolic content and enhanced the catalase and superoxide dismutase activities in the fruit, while reduced activities of lipoxygenase and polyphenol oxidase in the peel preceding the onset of superficial scald. Comprehensive analysis indicated that the MAP+1-MCP treatment is the most effective method tested for improving the quality of Yali pears during cold storage and at shelf life.展开更多

Dangshansuli pear fruits were treated with 1 000 or 2 000 μL L-1 diphenylamine (DPA) for 1 min, or with 0.5 μL L-1 1-methylcyclopropene (l-MCP) for 12 h before cold storage at (2±0.5)℃ for up to 210 d. Incidences of superficial scald and related physiological indexes were investigated during storage. The results showed that superficial scald occurred in control fruit with a rate of over 90% after 210 d at cold storage plus 10 d at room temperature. Treatments with 1 000 and 2 000 μL L-1 DPA and 0.5 μL L-1 l-MCP inhibited the accumulation of a-farnesene, conjugated trienes, total phenolic contents, and malondialdehyde (MDA) during storage. The treatments also decreased leakage of cell membrane and the activity of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in the peel. These results indicate that 1-MCP and DPA treatments inhibit and postpone the occurrence of superficial scald of Dangshansuli pears remarkably in cold storage and post-storage shelf life, respectively, while the mechanisms were different. The results above may provide a theoretical evidence for the agriculture production.展开更多
