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 effect of fascial flap with vessels inducing the vascularization of uncel-lular tissue engingeering complex and the regenration of bone on the repair of bone defect, so as to provide the basis for the clinical application. Methods An animal model of bone defect on adult Newzland rabbits'right radial bone was established .and autologous red bone marrow were taken out and mixed into uncellulax tissue engineering comple-xes with OAM which contained BMP. The experiment animals were divided into two groups : experiment group and control group( n = 12 for each ). The control group was only implanted with complexes, meanwhile, the experiment group had fascial flap with vessels. By microsurgery technology,a non-named fascial flap with vessels was prepared, which belonged to capillary net,around the bone defect,and let it wrap tissue engineering complex,fill up bone de-fect. In a certian time, radiograph(X-ray) and light density measure was conducted, gross morphology and histological inspection was exmained. Bone shape measurement analysis and image of vessel analysis were conducted. All the sta-tistics were analyzed by the SPSS 11.5 software. Results Because of mechanically preventing fiber connective tis-sues and surrounding soft tissues from entering the areas of bone defect by fascial flap, it can keep bone defect having a relative stable environment ;The subfascial space itself, and also the shape and mass of filled-in subject had the de-cisive effect on the results of the regeneration of the bone; Owing to the establishment of blood supply during the con-structing tissue engineering complex. The experiment group was obviously superior to the control group. Compared with control group,the absor bance obviously increased in experiment group [(0. 732 ± 0. 021 ) vs (0. 651± 0.018)] (P < 0. 001 ) four weeks after the operation; also the bone trabecular body was significantly increased [(2.32±2.57)% vs(19.37±3.52)% ,(8.37±3.52)% vs(30.24±3.42)% ,(28.57±2.98)% vs(58.76± 4.62)% ,(47.24±3.42)% vs(88.72±5.84)%] ,and capillary area [(5.04±1.62)% vs(17.53±2.86)%, (10.37 ±2.96)% vs(35.24±1. 13)%,(18.20±2. 12)% vs(48.76±4. 62)%,(17.82 ±2. 74)% vs (57.72 ±5.84)%] (P <0.05) at each time period(4 weeks,8 weeks,12 weeks,and 16 weeks after operation). Despite of growth of implant's internal vessel, the number and speed of forming bone trabecula and cartilaginous tis-sue, even developing of mature bone structure, recreating of diaphysis structure, reconstructing of marrow cavity, ab-sorbing and decomposing of implant, the experiment group was obviously superior to the control group. Conclusions The induction of fascial flap with vessels shows double effects, one of which is the vascularization of uncellular tis-sue engineering complex and the other is membrane guided bone regeneration, So the method has a wonderful effect on the repair of bone defect.

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.
