OBJECTIVE: Duplicating the classical alcoholic hepatic injury model, to provide an ideal animal model for research on prevention and treatment of hepatic injury. METHODS: According to the prescription of Lieber-DeCarli, the same calorie fluid animal feed, which contained ethanol or non-ethanol, was prepared. Twenty-three rats were divided into normal control group (n=5), control liquid diet group (n=9), ethanol liquid diet group (n=9). Rats in the normal control group were fed normal diet, and rats in the control liquid diet group and ethanol liquid diet group were fed the corresponding diet for eight weeks. The pathologic changes of hepatic tissue were observed. The activities of the serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), the liver tissue gamma-glutamyltransferase (gamma-GT), the content of triglyceride (TG), and the lipid peroxidation by-products were assayed. RESULTS: Compared to the normal control and the control liquid diet groups, the activities of ALT, AST, and gamma-GT, and the lipid peroxidation by-products increased significantly in the ethanol liquid diet group. The pathological changes of cellular swelling and fatty degeneration in the ethanol liquid diet group were severe. CONCLUSION: Alcoholic hepatic injury model can be successfully duplicated by Lieber-DeCarli prescription.

This study was aimed to prepare the spraying agent of prescriptions of Miao nationality herb and investigate the effect of Miao nationality herbs spray for serum SOD, MDA, and expression of Fas and Caspase-3 mRNA in lung tissues of silica-treated rats. The healthy SD rats were divided into 5 groups. Silica dust suspension was used in the model establishment of 4 groups. After the model was successfully established, 3 groups were randomly selected and given glucocorticoids atomization inhalation, Miao nationality herbs spray, Miao nationality herbs spray combined with intragastric administration of herbal medicine, respectively. After 40-day treatment, water-solubletetrazolium salt (WST-1) was used in the detection of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD). Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) was used in the detection of malondialdehyde (MDA). The mRNA expression variance of the Fas and Caspase-3 were detected by RT-PCR. The results showed that compared with the silica dust suspension group, the SOD activity of serum in the Miao nationality herbs spray group was significantly increased (P< 0.05). MDA content and the mRNA of Fas and Caspase-3 were significantly lower in the Miao nationality herbs spray group (P< 0.05). It was concluded that Miao nationality herbs spray group was able to increase the SOD activity of serum, decrease MDA content, and obviously decrease the expression of Fas and Caspase-3 of lung tissues among silica dust suspension rats.
