In order to investigate the dynamic changes in nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity in organs during traumatic shock and to evaluate the effects of inhibitor of NOS and L Arginine (L Arg) on traumatic shock, rat model of traumatic shock was established, and the constitutive NOS and inducible NOS in the heart, small intestine, liver, lung , spleen were measured 0 5h, 3h, 5h after traumatic shock. Followed by intravenous injection with aminoguanidine (AG ), N G nitro L arginine methyl ester (L NAME), or L Arg, NOS were again measured, and the survival time and 24h survival rate were recorded. It was found that in normal rats cNOS was expressed in all organs, but only a weak iNOS expression in lung and liver. Half an hour after shock, cNOS was elevated in almost all organs in various degrees but there was no change in iNOS. 3h after shock, an increase in iNOS activity and a decrease in cNOS were observed. The iNOS was synthesized in large quantity 5h after shock. AG and L Arg markedly prolonged the survival time but L NAME did not in shock rats. AG inhibited the activity of iNOS but promoted the synthesis of cNOS, and both NOS were inhibited in L NAME group, but not in L Arg group. The results that iNOS was synthesized in large quantity only at later period of traumatic shock. To treat shock, the inhibitors of NOS and L Arg should be given according to the degree of shock, the dosage of drugs, and the time of administration

Objective To investigate the alternation and significance of P-selectin in plasma during traumatic shock.Methods 24 rats were randomly assigned to three groups;control group, shock group and L-Arg group. The rats were subjected to induce traumatic shock ,and to determine the plasma P-selectin with ELISA after shock 30 min and 4 hour.Results P-selectin was expression in plasma of normal rats. 30 min after shock, P-selectin in sera was higher than in the control nontraumatized,but no statistical significance;4h after shock, the P-selectin was significantly increased. The P-selectin of L-Arg group in L-Arg group was obviously decreased than those of shock group.Conclusions Traumatic shock could induce P-selectin hyperexpression.It is related to remarkable microcirculatory perturbation and endothelial dysfunction during shock.L-Arg maybe decrease the expression of P-selectin through promoting the synthesis of the endothelial NO.

BACKGROUND: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUMSCs) can differentiate into insulin-producing cellsafter induced by chemical drugs or co-culture methods, but insulin secretion is extremely low. Therefore, to inducemature pancreatic beta cell differentiation from stem cells by adenovirus transfection of specific genes involved in thedevelopment of pancreas is a research hotspot in recent years.OBJECTIVE: To study the differentiation potential of HUMSCs into insulin-producing cells after transfection withmusculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homologue A (MafA).METHODS: Ad-MafA-EGFP was transferred into passage 3 HUMSCs. After 7 days of induction, changes of cellmorphology were observed by inverted phase contrast microscope. Expression of pancreatic cell-specific genes(glucagon, PDX1, Nkx2.2) was detected by PCR technique.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After Ad-MafA-EGFP transfection, no significant morphological changes were observedin the HUMSCs under inverted phase contrast microscope. It was confirmed by fluorescence microscope thatAd-MafA-EGFP was transferred into the HUMSCs. After induction, the expression of human pancreatic precursorcell-related genes, including glucagon, PDX1 and Nkx2.2, was increased as detected by PCR. To conclude, thesefindings could provide experimental evidence for further differentiation and maturation of pancreatic β cells fromHUMSCs.
