AIM: To observe the effects of D-galactose on the lumber vertebra body and investigate the reasons. METHODS: 12 rats at age of 6 months were divided into two groups, control group and D-galactose group (n=6 in each). The control group were administered saline solution sc, and the D-galactose group were administered 5% D-galactose solution sc at dose of 100 mg?kg -1. After 3 month, the rats were killed by exsanguination from heart. The fourth lumber vertebra was taken and immerged in formalin. The testicle were taken and immerged in formalin at the same time. The blood serum was collected by centrifugating the collected blood after resting for a while, and it was preserved in refrigeratory at the degree of - 70 ℃.The vertebra body were embedded in plastic and sliced up after being dehydrated step by step with different concentration ethanol. The slices were analyzed under the image analysis apparatus. The testicle were made into paraffin slices and observed under the common microscope. The concentration of serum testosterone and luteinizing hormone were measured by radio-immunity assay. RESULTS: The lumber vertebra body in D-galactose group appeared osteoporosis. The serum testosterone hormone concentrations of D-galactose rats were significantly decreased. And the microstructure of testicle present aging change, but no change of serum LH concentration was observed. CONCLUTION: D-galactose can cause the osteoporosis in male rats, which may be related to affect the function of thalamus-pituitary-testicle axis, decrease the content of testosterone of D-galactose.

Aim To study the effects of D-galactose o n bone of rats. Methods Forty-two Sprague-Dawley rats at age of 3 months with half female and half male were divided into five groups randoml y, basal, OVX or ORX , D-galactose at dose of 50 mg?kg -1?d -1 (L), D-galactose at dose of 100 mg?kg -1?d -1 (M), galactose a t dose of 200 mg?kg -1?d -1 (H).The former two groups were SC inject ed physiological saline and the latter three groups were injected three differen t doses of D-galactose respectively. Two months later the rats were killed by setting blood free from hearts, then the left thighbones and tibias were take n. The tibias were cut at 8 ?m sections for static and dynamic bone histomorph ometric analyses. The thighbones were dried and weighed. All rats were given sc injections of tetracycline 25 mg?kg -1 (first fluorochrome bone marker) on 14 and d 13,and calcein 10 mg?kg -1(second fluorochrome bone marker) on 4 and d 3 before sacrifice. The testicles and the ovaries were taken and made the paraffin slices for observing the microstructure under the microscope. Results D-galactose had no effects on bone of female rats, but can made male rats lose bone significantly and the rats appeared osteoporosis. The static parameters in three different dose male rats bone which relate to bone ma ss %Tb. Ar decreased 53.5%,53.5%,46.6% respectively, Tb.N decreased 42.9%,4 7.6%,38.1% respectively, TB.Sp increased 85%,150%,67.3% respectivly. The dynamic parameters which relate to bone formation %L. Pm decreased 24.1% 89.1% , 65.5% respectively. The convoluted suminiferous tubule disordered, lumens dil ated, and basal membrane disintegrated. Conclusion D-galac tose had different effects on bone of different gender rats. There is no effect on female bone, but it can induce the male rats osteoporosis. The mechanism of D-galactose on bone was probably due to the different effects on gonad glan ds.

Fifty three Wistar rats were randomly divided into healthy control group, COPD model group and NAC group, PKC inhibitor H7 intervention group and TGF ? monocolonal antibody group(TGF ? MA group).To study the role of matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs) and the tissue inhibitor of MMPs(TIMP 1) in the airway extracellular matrix(ECM) remodelling of COPD rat models and to observe the effects of NAC, H7 and TGF ? MA intervention on the regulation of MMPs and TIMP 1 and on ECM remodelling of the airway walls. Compared with control group, the airway collagen, the hydroxyproline(Hy) content of lung homogenates ,the number of fibroblasts(Fb) , the protein and/or mRNA expressions of MMP 2, MMP 9, TIMP 1 and TGF ? Ⅰ, Ⅱ receptor and the enzyme activities of MMP 2 (72kD), MMP 9 (92kD) were significantly increased in COPD model group. In all the drug intervention groups, the expressions of the above parameters were significantly decreased than those in model group except for Hy and Fb in H7 group, protein expression of TGF ? I receptor in NAC group and MMP 9 in TGF ? MA group. The results suggested that increased MMPs as matrix degrading enzymes might be responsible for the excessive degradation of ECM in airway, whereas incresed TIMPs might promote excessive ECM synthesis and deposition. The imbalance of MMP 9/TIMP 1 was related to the airway ECM remodelling. An antioxidant NAC and TGF ? MA might regulate the MMPs/TIMP 1 expression and reduce the airway fibrosis.H7 had strong collagenase inhibitory action,resulting increse in Hy and Fbs. The data may be helpful for searching effective prevention and treatment of airway ECM remodelling.
