AIM: To explore the role of intestinal lymphatic pathway in MODS pathogenesis by two-hit in rats. METHODS: Mesenteric lymph was diverted by ligating mesenteric lymph duct, and the MODS model was established by two-hit method. 45 Wistar rats were divided into three groups: mesenteric lymph duct ligation group, non-ligation group and sham group. All rats facilitated blood withdrawal for serum sample at pre-experiment and after 24 h. Then organs including kidney, liver, lung, heart and intestine were collected for preparing homogenate. The tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF?), nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined. RESULTS: It showed that the MODS model was established successfully. After two-hit, the TNF?, NO 2 -/NO 3 -, NOS, iNOS and MDA in serum of non-ligation group were significantly increased than that in pre-experiment and sham group, and SOD was significantly lower ( P

Objective To study the effects of constraint-induced movement train (CIMT) on the neurological medullary sheath in the rats after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Methods 55 SD rats were randomly divided into CIMT group and nature recovery (NR) group after MCAO. The CIMT group were trained with balance beam and rolling cage everyday, with restrictting the movement of the intact upper limbs. The NR group lived in the same condition. The rats in CIMT group were assessed with ethology 5 d, 10 d, 15 d, 30 d and 60 d after operation respectively. At last, 5 rats of each group were checked with MRI, then they were immolated for myelin staining. Results The balance and muscle strength of CIMT group improved better compared with the NR ones (P<0.05), as well as the diameter and the demyelination of neurofibril in the infarcted area. Conclusion CIMT can collect more functional neurofibra and decrease myelinolysis.

AIM: To observe the changes of morphology, the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and membrane pump activities of spleen tissue in acute renal failure (ARF) rabbits, and to inquire into the role of spleen on pathogenesis of immune function disorders during ARF. METHODS: 42 rabbits were divided into control group, HgCl_2 group and glycerinum group. The ARF model was established by hypodermic injection of 1% HgCl_2 at dose of 1.3 mL/kg in HgCl_2 group, intramuscularly injection of 50% glycerinum at dose of 10 mL/kg in glycerinum group, respectively, and the animals were divided into the 12 h, 24 h, 48 h secondary groups (6 rabbits each group). At different time points, the rabbits were cannulated to facilitate the collection of blood sample to examine the biochemical indexes of renal function. The spleen microscopic sections were prepared for observing the morphology. The spleen homogenate was made for determining the activities of MPO and membrane pumping. RESULTS: Pathological sections of spleen showed that the different degree of congestion was found and spleen trabecula was increased in two model groups at multiple-time points. The MPO activity of spleen homogenate in HgCl_2 group and glycerinum group at all time points were obviously higher than that in control group, and at 24 h, the MPO activitie in two model groups was significantly increased than that in the same group at 12 h and 48 h. The activities of Na~+-K~+-ATPase, Ca~(2+)-ATPase, Mg~(2+)-ATPase, Ca~(2+)-Mg~(2+)-ATPase of spleen homogenate in two model groups at multiple time points were significantly lower than those in control group. Following ARF development, the ATPase activitie in two model groups at 48 h was lower than that at 12 h except the Mg~(2+)-ATPase in glycerinum group. CONCLUSION: Spleen as an immune organ has histological damage, arrest of polymorphonuclear neutrophils and dysfunction of membrane pump during the development of ARF in rabbits, leading to immune disorders.
