Objective To investigate the effect of chronic electrical stimulus (CES) of low frequency and physiological frequency on diaphragmatic subtype of myosin heavy chain (MHC) and mechanical characteristic in rabbits with emphysema. Methods The rabbit model of emphysema was made by inhaling papain of ultrasonic atomization once a week for 3 weeks in 30 adult Japanese rabbits, 6 receiving 10 Hz chronic low-frequency electrical stimulation, 6 receiving 40 Hz, 6 receiving 10 Hz plus 40 Hz. Another 6 emphysema rabbits and 6 normal rabbits served as control. The twitch tension (Pt), titanic tension (Po), time to peak tension (TPT), half-relaxation time (1/2Rt), fatigue index (FI) and fatigue recovery index (FRI) were measured and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to observe the changes in subtype of MHC in control group, emphysema group, CES groups respectively. Results ①Following chronic electrical stimulus of 40 Hz, 10 Hz, and (10+40) Hz, the relative contents of MHC were increased in diaphragmatic muscle of rabbits with emphysema. The percentage of MHC-I was significantly increased in the 10 Hz group, while that of MHC-I and MHC-IIa were significantly increased in the (10+40) Hz group. ②Following chronic electrical stimulation using 40 Hz and (10+40)Hz, diaphragmatic muscle Pt and Po were significantly increased in rabbits with emphysema, TPT and 1/2Rt were significantly reduced, and FI and FRI were significantly decreased (P

Objective: To determine whether aminoguaidine(AG),a selective inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS), affect the embroy development of mice, and to study the mechanisms of iNOS affecting on pregnancy. Methods: AG(10 mg*kg-1*d-1 or 20 mg*kg-1*d-1) were injected subcutaneously to mice from day 3,7,14. kill mice at day19. The weight of fetus and placenta, the number of fetus and fetal resorptions were measured. Histological changes of placenta and umbilical cord were observed. Immunohistochemistry and NADPH histochemistry were adopted to study NOS activity of placental and umbilical cord respectively. Results: The conceptus in the uterus were resorbed in the early pregnancy. In the early and middle pregnancy the weight of pregnant mouse and the number of fetus of AG groups was decreased. The number of fetal resorptions was increased. But the weight of fetus and placenta were not affected. The expression of iNOS in the placenta were no difference significantly between the two groups with image analysis. Conclusion: AG inhibits the implantation and growth of embryo in the early and middle pregnancy, buy doesn't affect the formed fetus and placenta significantly.

Objective To investigate the difference among neonatal rat models of hypoxia-ischemia induced white matter injury of brain by three different methods and to provide theory basis on choosing the proper animal model for deep study on white matter injury of premature infants.Methods Three different hypoxia-ischemia methods were applied to induce brain white matter injury model of Wistar rats of postnatal 3rd day which were left carotid artery ligation followed by 6% oxygen for 30 minutes and for 4 hours respectively,and bilateral carotid artery ligation followed by 8% oxygen for 30 minutes.Compared brain pathological results of rats in different groups,changes in white matter of brain by glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and myelin basic protein (MBP) immunostaining,and changes in time of opening eyes and eyes appearance.Results Left carotid artery ligation followed by 6% oxygen for 30 minutes resulted in sparse and vague periventricular white matter without necrotic lesions,and the degree of GFAP intensity [(5 021.63 ± 358.92) OD] increase and MBP intensity [(18 488.63 ± 1 822.62) OD] decrease were lowest (P < 0.000 1),as well as the delay of opening time of the left eye.Left carotid artery ligation followed by 6% oxygen for 4 hours resulted in necrotic lesions of periventricular white matter,with the degree of GFAP intensity [(6 069.13 ± 458.61) OD] and MBP intensity [(15 003.38 ± 1 559.11) OD],and also the delay of opening time of the left eye.Bilateral carotid artery ligation followed by 8% oxygen for 30 minutes caused cystic necrosis of bilateral periventricular white matters,and the degree of GFAP intensity [(6 194.50 ±432.69) OD] increase and MBP intensity [(10 119.35 ± 735.16) OD] decrease of the left side were highest(P < 0.000 1),as well as the delay of opening time and cataract in both eyes.Conclusion Left carotid artery ligation followed by 6% oxygen for 30 minutes is more suitable for investigating mild brain white matter injury.Left carotid artery ligation followed by 6% oxygen for 4 hours and bilateral carotid artery ligation followed by 8% oxygen for 30 minutes are more proper for the investigation of severe periventricular leukemacia cases.

Aim To observe the effect of 5-FU and L-Arg on the human liver carcinoma model in nude mice and study the mechanism.Methods We established the human liver carcinoma model in nude mice with BEL-7402 cell and gave normal saline,5-FU,5-FU+L-Arg by intraperitoneal injection. The tumor size was measured.The necrotic degree and range were observed by the microscope. Immunohistochemistry method and chemical colorimetry were performed to determine the expression and activity of iNOS. Nitrate reductase method was adopted to test the concentration of NO in the tumor tissue. The one-way ANOVA,Bonferroni and Kruskal-Wallis H tests were adopted for the statistical analysis.Results 5-FU combined with L-Arg promoted the tumor suppressive action apparently. The necrotic range enlarged. The expression and activity of iNOS increased. The production of NO also increased.Conclusions 5-FU combined with L-Arg has agonist effects on the inhibition of the growth of human liver carcinoma in nude mice.It may be related with inducing the synthesis of iNOS and the increase of NO.
