Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2011;18(21):2913-2914
ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of overtaking of liquor on the expression of caspase-3 in the mouse seminiferous tubule.MethodsAdult mice were given liquor through the stomach.The dose was 4g/kg body weight per day for 5 continuous days.Hybridization in situ was performed for detecting the caspase-3 expression in the mouse seminiferous tubule.ResultsIn the control group,there were few Caspase-3 positive cells in the mouse seminiferous tubule.In the group of five days taking liquor,the caspase-3 positive cell count increased obviously.In the group of ten days taking liquor,the caspase-3 positive cell count was maximum.ConclusionAlcohol could induce the apoptosis of spermatogenic cell.

AIM: To investigate the anti-DIC effect of the domestic recombinant hirudin (rH) in order to provide preclinical pharmacological basis for its new drug application. METHODS: DIC was induced by constant iv infusion of thrombin (100 U?kg -1 ?h -1 ?1 h) plus PAMBA (50 mg?kg -1 ?h -1 ?1 h). Platelet count (PLT), PT and fibrinogen (FIB) determination as well as plasmaprotamine paracoagulation (3P) test served as diagnostic indexes of DIC, while pathlogical examination of microthrombosis of lungs and kidneys was followed. RESULTS: rH 125,62.5,31.25 and 15.625 ?g?kg -1 iv. gtt demonstrated a dose-dependant inhibitory effect on DIC. The inhibitory effects on DIC of rH(%) were 89.38%, 52.60%, 49.71% and 25.58% for PT, and 100.01% , 61.86%, 58.40% and 32.68% for PLT, and 85.22%, 73.01%, 33.60% and 14.86% for FIB respectively at the descending order of rH doses. CONCLUSION: Domestic rH being tested has powerful anti-DIC effect which is comparable with refludan—an r-hirudin product approved by European Community for marketing.

Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2016;47(2):275-280
Objective: To observe the effects of panaxtriol saponin (PTS) on CK-MB, cTnI, IL-6, TNF-α, and ultrastructure against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) in rats. Methods: Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups: Sham, MIRI model, positive control, and 22.5, 45, and 90 mg/kg PTS groups. Animal MIRI model was made by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery. Drug was given for seven consecutive days before the operation by ip injection. Rats were sacrificed after 30 min ischemia and 24 h reperfusion. CK-MB, cTnI, IL-6, and TNF-α in serum were measured and the changes of myocardial ultrastructure were observed. Real time PCR was used to evaluate change of NRF2 and HO-1 mRNA level in myocardial tissue. Results: Compared with model, PTS 45 and 90 mg/kg reduced the CK-MB, cTnI, IL-6, and TNF-α in serum and improve the myocardium ultrastructure. Nrf2 and HO-1 mRNA levels in PTS treatment group were higher than those in MIRI model group. Conclusion: PTS plays a crucial role in cardioprotection against the ischemia and reperfusion injury in rats. The protective mechanism suggests that PTS could stimulate NRF2/HO-1 expression in myocardial tissue and then inhibit myocardial inflammation.

Objective To investigate the effect of exogenous apelin-13 on oxidative stress, myocardial inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis in diabetic model rats.Methods A total of 40 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: normal control group (NC, n=8) and experimental group (EX, n=32).Diabetes was induced by feeding with high-sugary and high-fat diet for 8 weeks and a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) (30 mg/kg).The wellestablished 28 diabetic model rats were then randomly divided into 2 subgroups: model group (DM, n =14) and apelin-13 administration group (AP, n =14).The rats in AP group were given intraperitoneal administration of apelin-13 at a single dose of 0.1 μtmol · kg-1 · d-1 for 10 weeks, while NC group and DM group were given 0.9% NaCl in the same way.All rats were sacrificed at the end of the week 10.Blood hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitric oxide (NO) and malonaldehyde (MDA) were measured by colorimetry, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The expressions of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in rat myocardium were detected by immunohistochemistry.Masson staining was used to observe the myocardial fibrosis in rats of different groups.Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was determined by TUNEL.Results (1) Compared with NC groups, DM group showed that MDA, H2O2 and NO were significantly increased, while SOD was significantly decreased (F=22.400, 6.230, 4.267 and 8.901, all P<0.0167).There was a statistically significant difference in the levels of MDA, H2O2,SOD between DM group and AP group.(2) The expression of TNF-α and IL-6 was significantly higher inDMgroup than inNCgroup (0.0599±0.0208 vs.0.0076±0.0031, F=35.139;0.0503±0.0243 vs.0.0071± 0.0024, F=15.946, both P<0.0167).After 10 weeks of apelin-13 administration, the levels of inflammatory cytokines were significantly decreased in AP group than in DM group.(3) The myocardial apoptosis and fibrosis were significantly increased in DM group than in NCgroup [0.0293±0.0061 vs.0.0030-t-0.0013 and 0.0708±0.0420 vs.0.0013±0.0003, F=84.930 and 19.420, both P<0.0167].The myocardial apoptosis and fibrosis were significantly decreased in AP group than in DM group (both P<0.0167).Conclusions To some extent, apelin13 reduces the levels of oxidative stress and myocardial inflammation reaction in type 2 diabetes.Moreover, it may play a vital role in the improvement of myocardial apoptosis and fibrosis.

Objective To investigate gene expressions of matrix metalloprotease (MMP-2, MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) and RECK ( reversion inducing cysteine-rich protein with Kazal motifs) in the liver tissue of rats with Vibrio vulnificus sepsis. Methods Vibrio vulnificus sepsis model was induced by injection of 1 mL/100 g Vibrio vulnificus (9 × 106 cfu/mL) at hind limbs in 50 Sprague-Dawley male rats of clean grade, each time 10 animals were sacrificed at 2, 6, 9, 12 and 16 h after injection and liver samples were taken. Ten rats served as control group. The ethological changes were observed. The total RNA was extracted from liver tissue and the gene expressions of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-2 and RECK were evaluated by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Results The rats manifested shortness of breath, fever and swelling in hind limbs at 4 h after injection of Vibrio vulnificus. These symptoms gradually deteriorated, and the rats presented cyanosis and convulsion at 12 h. The gene expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were markedly up-regulated, while those of TIMP-2 and RECK were down-regulated. Conclusion The study suggests that the elevation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 and down-regulation of TIMP-2 and RECK is associated with the development of Vibrio vulnificus sepsis.
