Results confirm the existence of 2 quiescences (Q1, Q2) and 1 rest (R) phases in this tree during the dormancy period. In the R time, the E. ulmoides cambium was unable to reactivate even though the tree was subjected to exogenous IAA, suitable temperature or required luminosity. Furthermore, pistillate trees entered the dormant phase earlier than staminate ones. The protein content in the bark during Q1 increased significantly ( P < 0.01), but drastically decreased in the R period, before rising up again at the onset of Q2 ( P < 0.01). Even though the change pattern of protein content was similar, its occurrence is much earlier in staminate than in pistillate plants. SDS-PAGE revealed a 'special' protein band of 11.8 kD in the transitional Q1-R-Q2 stages. This 'special' protein bands would be related to the cambial dormancy and to the regulation of the Q1-R-Q2 transition.展开更多

Methods: Fifty SD healthy male rats were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n = 10 per group) : Group A ( Sham group), Group B ( Ringer' s solution for 1 h ), Group C (Ringer' s solution for 24 h ), Group D ( hydroxyethyl starch for 1 h ) and Group E (( hydroxyethyl starch for 24 h). A model of rats with hemorrhagic shock was established. The bacterial translocation in liver, content of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and changes of myeloperoxidase enzyme (MPO) activities in small intestine were pathologically investigated after these two fluid resuscitations, respectively. Results : The bacterial translocation and the expression of TNF-α in the small intestine were detected at 1 h and 24 h after fluid resuscitation. There were significant increase in the number of translocated bacteria, TNF-α and MPO activities in Group C compared with Group B, significant decrease in Group E compared with Group D and in Group B compared with Group D. The number of translocated bacteria and TNF-α expression significantly decreased in Group E as compared with Group C. Conclusions: The bacterial translocation and the expression of TNF-α in the small intestine exist 24 h after fluid resuscitation. 6 % hydroxyethyl starch can improve the intestinal mucosa barrier function better than the Ringer' s solution.展开更多

Methods: Male Sprague Dawley rats received intraluminal or intravenous pancreatic serine protease inhibitor, 6 amidino 2 naphthyl p guanidinobenzoate dimethanesulfate (ANGD) during laparotomy (trauma), and were subjected to 90 minutes of T/HS or trauma sham shock (T/SS). Degree of lung injury was assessed 3 hours after resuscitation with Ringer’s lactate solution. Results: Lung permeability, pulmonary myeloperoxidase levels and the ratio of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid protein to plasma protein increased after T/HS, and significantly decreased in intraluminal ANGD treated but not in intravenous ANGD treated rats. Histological analysis demonstrated fewer injured villi in the intraluminal ANGD treated rats compared with those in the control rats. Linear regression analysis revealed that the percentage of injured ileal mucosal villi directly related to pulmonary polymorphic neutrophil sequestration and lung permeability to Evans blue dye. Conclusions: Pancreatic proteolytic enzymes in the ischemic gut may be important toxic factors contributing to lung injury after T/HS.展开更多
