In this study rhGH was used at the dose of 2 IU.kg-1d-1. An everted sleeve of intestine 4 cm long obtained from mid-jejunum was securely incubated in Kreb's solution with radioactive dipeptide (3H-glycylsarcosine, 3H-Gly-Sar,10 μCi/ml) at 37 ℃ for 15 min to measure the effects of uptake and transport of PepT1 of small intestinal epithelial cells in normal and severe scald rats.RESULTS: Abundant blood supply to intestine and mesentery was observed in normal and scald rats administered rhGH,while less supply of blood to intestine and mesentery was observed in rats without rhGH. Compared with controls, the transport of dipeptide in normal rats with injection of rhGH was not significantly increased (P=0.1926), while the uptake was significantly increased (P=0.0253). The effects of transport and uptake of PepT1 in scald rats with injection of rhGH were significantly increased (P=0.0082, 0.0391).CONCLUSION: Blood supply to intestine and mesentery of rats was increased following injection of rhGH. The effects of uptake and transport of dipeptide transporters in small intestinal epithelial cells of rats with severe scald were markedly up-regulated by rhGH.展开更多

METHODS： Rats were divided into group C as normal control Group （/7=16） and group G as alanyl-glutamine pretreatment 07=16）. Rats were intravenously infused with 0.9% saline solution in group C and Ala-GIn -enriched （2% glutamine） 0.9% saline solution in group G via central venous catheter for three days. Then all rats underwent hepatic warm ischemia for 30 min followed by different periods of reperfusion. Changes in biochemical parameters, the content of glutathione （GSH） and the activity of superoxide dismutase （SOD） in liver tissue, Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression and morphological changes of liver tissue were compared between both groups. RESULTS： One hour after reperfusion, the levels of liver enzymes in group G were significantly lower than those in group C （P〈0.05）. Twenty-four hours after reperfusion, the levels of liver enzymes in both groups were markedly recovered and the levels of liver enzyme in group G were also significantly lower than those in group C （P〈0.01）. One and 24 h after reperfusion, GSH content in group G was significantly higher than that in group C （P 〈0.05）. There was no statistical difference in activities of SOD between the two groups. One and 24 h after reperfusion, the positive expression rate of Bcl-2 protein was higher in group G than in group C （P〈0.05） and the positive expression rate of Bax protein was lower in group G than in group C （P〈0.05）. Histological and ultrastructural changes of liver tissue were inhibited in group C compared to group G. CONCLUSION： Our results suggest that Ala-GIn pretreatment provides the rat liver with significant tolerance to warm ischemia-reperfusion injury, which may be mediated partially by enhancing GSH content and regulating the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins in the liver tissue.展开更多

The effects of solution p H value, temperature and adsorption time were investigated. The maximum adsorption capacity of Ni(II) on PGMA-IDA/CFs is 0.923 mmol·L-1· g-1at pH 5.2 and 50 °C. Kinetic data indicate that the adsorption process matches the pseudo-second-order model and Elovich kinetic model. Thermodynamic data suggest that the adsorption process is endothermic spontaneous reaction.展开更多
