We investigated neutrophil infiltration in liver tissue, Kupffer cells' role in neutrophil accumulation, and apoptosis and regeneration of hepatocytes in liver ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS: Vascular microclamps were placed across the pedicles of the median and left lateral lobes for 90 minutes after 30% hepatectomy with the resection of caudate, right lateral and quadrate lobes and papillary process. Gadolinium chloride (GdCl3) was used to destroy Kupffer cells. Neutrophil activity was inhibited with Urge-8, a monoclonal antibody against neutrophil produced in our laboratory. GdCl3 (10 mg/kg) and Urge-8 (50 mg/kg) were given intravenously in respective groups. Ischemia control, GdCl3 and Urge-8 groups were compared. RESULTS: Following hepatic reperfusion, serum interleukin-8 (IL-8) levels and hepatic neutrophil counts peaked at 3 hours, and peak concentrations of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) occurred at 6 hours. Animals of the control group showed increases in neutrophil infiltration in liver tissue, liver enzyme levels, and apoptosis index of hepatocytes and decreases in overall survival rate and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression of hepatocytes. The survival rates and PCNA proportion of hepatocytes were higher and the levels of hepatic neutrophil infiltration, liver enzymes, and hepatocyte apoptosis after reperfusion were lower in the GdCl3 and Urge-8 groups than those in the ischemia control group. CONCLUSIONS: Blockades of Kupffer cells' activity and neutrophil infiltration by GdCl3 and Urge-8 eliminate neutrophil-mediated hepatic injury and enhance subsequent hepatic regeneration during liver ischemiareperfusion.展开更多

Recently, a novel selenium source, selenium-enriched Cardamine violifolia(SEC) has attracted much attention due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but little is known about its role in the treatment of sepsis. Here, we found that SEC alleviated LPS-induced intestinal damage, as indicated by improved intestinal morphology, and increased disaccharidase activity and tight junction protein expression. Moreover, SEC ameliorated the LPS-induced release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, as indicated by decreased IL-6 level in the plasma and jejunum. Moreover, SEC improved intestinal antioxidant functions by regulating oxidative stress indicators and selenoproteins. In vitro, TNF-α-challenged IPEC-1 cells were examined and showed that selenium-enriched peptides, which are the main functional components extracted from Cardamine violifolia(CSP), increased cell viability, decreased lactate dehydrogenase activity and improved cell barrier function. Mechanistically, SEC ameliorated LPS/TNF-α-induced perturbations in mitochondrial dynamics in the jejunum and IPEC-1 cells. Moreover, CSPmediated cell barrier function is primarily dependent on the mitochondrial fusion protein MFN2 but not MFN1. Taken together,these results indicate that SEC mitigates sepsis-induced intestinal injury, which is associated with modulating mitochondrial fusion.展开更多

文摘目的探讨老年患者前路腰椎间融合术(Anterior lumbar interbody fusion,ALIF)术后肠梗阻(postoperative ileus,PI)的危险因素。方法选择2011年1月~2020年1月在本院接受ALIF治疗的497例老年患者病历资料,记录患者的性别、年龄、体质量指数、美国麻醉师协会(American society of anesthesiologists,ASA)评分、合并疾病、个人史、腰椎疾病类型、手术节段、失血量、手术时间、手术医师资历、围手术期电解质失衡等资料,观察患者PI发生率及影响PI发生的风险因素。结果497例患者共诊断PI47例(9.48%)。单因素分析显示,PI组和非PI组患者的性别、体质量指数、吸烟、糖尿病、高脂血症、胃食管反流、慢性便秘、手术节段、失血量、手术时间、电解质紊乱和镇痛方式等资料差异存在统计学意义(P<0.05);多因素Logistic回归分析显示,男性、电解质紊乱、胃食管反流、慢性便秘是PI发生的风险因素(P<0.05),氟比洛芬酯联合阿片类药物镇痛是PI发生的保护性因素(P<0.05)。结论ALIF患者术后继发PI受多种因素影响,早期识别这些风险因素有助于指导ALIF的手术决策和围手术期管理方式的改进。
