双供体肝移植受体大鼠质量与麻醉剂量关系的研究

目的探索双供体肝移植受体大鼠质量与麻醉剂量间的关系。方法使用4%的水合氯醛麻醉不同质量的双供体大鼠,观察其麻醉剂量及相应苏醒时间,依据苏醒时间长短,判断麻醉效果。结果大鼠质量250~270、200~250、160~200 g,最适麻醉剂量分别为1.0、0.8、0.3 mL/100 g。结论在麻醉双供体肝移植受体大鼠时,麻醉剂量与大鼠质量相关。

极低频电磁场曝露对大鼠认知功能和海马形态结构的影响

为明确极低频电磁场(ELF-EMFs)的神经生物效应,研究了ELF-EMFs曝露对大鼠认知功能和海马形态结构的影响.首先将雄性Wistar大鼠放在ELF-EMFs(50Hz、400μT、<1V/m)中连续曝露60d,实验期间,每周记录大鼠的体质量。终止曝露后,采用Morris水迷宫实验检测大鼠的认知功能。最后采用光镜和电镜观察海马组织结构,并通过甲苯胺蓝染色和图像分析检测尼氏体含量。结果表明:大鼠体质量的增长速度于曝露期间显著延缓,终止曝露2周后恢复;大鼠的平均逃避潜伏期于终止曝露后即刻显著延长(P<0.01),7d后恢复。终止曝露后即刻可观察到部分海马神经元发生变性、早期凋亡、突触结构破坏,尼氏体含量减少(P<0.05);终止曝露后15d,上述病变改善,30d后恢复。以上结果表明,极低频电磁场曝露(50Hz,400μT,60d)会导致大鼠体质量增长速度延缓、认知功能障碍、海马结构损伤及尼氏体含量减少;以上影响主要发生于终止曝露后早期,并具有持续时间较短暂且可恢复的特点。

Effect of electroacupuncture on hepatic blood flow and lipid peroxidation in rats with sepsis

Objective To investigate protective effects of electroacupuncture on injury of lipid peroxidation-induced by liver ischemia in rats with sepsis.Methods Forty-eight male SD rats were subjected to sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture （CLP）,and were randomly divided into a sham operation group （group A）,a CLP model group （group B）,a CLP model plus electroacupuncture （EA） at Zúsānlǐ （足三里 ST 36） group （group C）,a CLP model plus electroacupuncture at a sham acupoint group （group D）,a CLP model with vagotomy group （group E） and a CLP model plus electroacupuncture group after vagotomy （group F）,with 8 rats in each group.CLP was performed after abdominal vagotomy in group E and group F.EA （2 mA,2/100 Hz） was applied at bilateral ＂Zúsānlǐ＂ （足三里 ST 36） in group C and group F,and at sham acupoints in group D,respectively,for 1 hour.The hepatic blood flow （HBF） was detected by a laser-doppler flowmetry at 6 hours after CLP.The activity of plasma alanine transarninase （ALT） was determined;contents of hepatic malondialdehyde （MDA）,activity of xanthine oxidase （XOD） and the rate of water content in the hepati tissue were assessed,respectively.Results Hepatic blood flow was （56.97±11.95） U in group C,which was significantly lower than （80.12± 19.57） U shown in group A,but higher than （42.61±10.97） U in group B,（44.53±9.23） U in group D,（30.05 ±4.46） U in group E and （30.46±6.38） U in group F （all P0.05） at 6 hours after CLP.Meanwhile,the levels of MDA,XOD,ALT and hepatic water content in group C were all significantly higher than those in group A,but lower than those in the other four groups （all P0.05）.The levels of MDA,XOD,ALT and hepatic water content in group E and group F were all significantly higher than those in group D （all P0.05）,while their hepatic blood flow were lower than that in group D （both P0.05）,and no significant differences were found in all the indices mentioned above between group E and group F （all P0.05）.Conclusion Electroacupuncture at ＂Zúsānlǐ＂ （足三里 ST 36） can improve hepatic ischemia,inhibit lipid peroxidation and alleviate hepatic edema and dysfunction in septic rats,which might be related with the completeness of vagus nerves.

Effect of Wuziyanzong Pill on sperm quality and calcium ion content in oligoasthenospermia rats

OBJECTIVE： To study the effect of Wuziyanzong treatment on the sperm quality and content of cal- cium ions （Ca2＋） in oligoasthenospermia rats. METHODS： A model of oligoasthenospermia was induced in 50 Sprague Dawley rats by treatment with tripterygium glycosides at 30 mg/kg per day for 8 weeks. They were divided randomly into a model group, a positive group （Huangjingzanyu capsule, 3.01 g/kg）, and low, medium and high dose Wuziyanzong treatment groups （2.30, 4.60, 9.20 g/kg crude drug respectively） with 10 in each group. Another 10 rats were used as a control group. The rats in the control and model groups were administered distilled water, while the rats in the remaining groups were administered Wuziyan- zong for 30 d. The epididymides were removed, spermatozoa recovered and the sperm density and viability were measured. The spermatozoa were pu- rified and the contents of Ca2~ in the cytoplasm and mitochondria were detected by flow cytometry and atomic absorption spectrometry, respectively. RESULTS： After 8 weeks of treatment with tripteryg- ium glycosides, the sperm density, sperm activity and the Ca2~ content of spermatozoa in the model rats were all significantly decreased compared with the control group （all P〈O.05）. After 30 d treatment, the sperm density and activity improved and the Ca2＋ content of sperm were increased significantly in the medium and high dose Wuziyanzong treat- ment groups in comparison with the model group （all P〈O.05）. CONCLUSION： The Wuziyanzong treatment in： creased sperm density, improved sperm viability and enhanced the content of Ca2＋ in the sperm cy- toplasm and mitochondria in this rat model of oli- goasthenospermia.

Study on the Mechanism of Compound Mistletoe Fluidextract in Relieving Hypertension

To observe the effect of Fufang Jisheng Liujin Gao （复方寄生流浸膏 Compound Mistletoe Fluidextract） on blood pressure in the spontaneous hypertensive rats （SHR） and the renal hypertensive dogs （RHD）. Methods： The blood pressure-decreasing effects of single administration and 14-day consecutive administration of Compound Mistletoe Fluidextract （CMF） in SHR and RHD were investigated and compared with that of Niuhuang Jiangya Wan （牛黄降压丸 Bezoar Hypertension-relieving Pills）. Results： Both single administration and 14-day consecutive administration of CMF had significant hypotensive effects in SHR and RHD. Conclusion： The hypotensive action of CMF is gradual, but lasts for a longer period, with a dose-effect relationship in a range of doses.
