Objective To explore the changes of colon motility of the rats in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) induced bacterial peritonitis and the effects of IL-6, TNF-? and induce nitricoxide synthase (iNOS) on colon motility. Methods Wistar rats were divided into two groups, which were the control group and the MODS group. The number of stool, the amplitude changes of circular smooth muscle strip, the length of smooth muscle cell, and the changes of serum NO in two groups were observed. The expressions of IL-6, TNF-? and iNOS protein and IL-6 mRNA, TNF-? mRNA and iNOS mRNA in distal colon were investigated by using immunohistochemical methods and RT-PCR. Results The numbers of stool and the amplitude in the MODS group were lower than those of the control group (P

Objective To study the protective effects of anisodamine (ADM) on ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in rats. Methods After anesthesia was induced and tracheostomy was performed, 36 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into three groups: control group (group A, VT=8ml/kg); injury group (group B), in which the animals received mechanical ventilation with large tidal volume (VT=40ml/kg); and ADM protective group (group C), in which the animals received the same amount of tidal volume and same respiratory rate with mechanical ventilation as in group B, but were pre-treated with ADM (15mg/kg?iV) at 24h, 12h, 0h time points before ventilation. Arterial blood gases were measured every one hour, and neutrophils in bronchoalveolor lavage fluid (BALF) were counted. Wet to dry (W/D) weight ratio of left lung was determined, and the content of TNF-? and IL-1? in BALF and blood, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in the pulmonary tissue and blood were measured respectively. The histopathological changes in pulmonary tissues in the three groups were compared. Results The oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) of the animals in group B was significantly lower than that in group A and C, and the BALF neutrophil count was remarkably increased in group B. W/D value of group B was significantly higher than that of group A and C. The levels of TNF-?, IL-1? in BALF were remarkably increased in group B , but decreased in group C . MDA levels in pulmonary tissue and blood in group C were lower than that of group B, but SOD level in group C was significantly higher than that of group B. Histopathologic findings demonstrated there were more neutrophil infiltration and destructive change in the alveolar wall in group B than in other groups. Conclusion ADM appears to have obvious protective effects on VILI through anti-inflammation and antioxidation.

Objective To assess the feasibility and safety of modified laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal(TEP)hernia repair.Methods From January to August 2007,a total of 31 patients with hernia were treated with modified TEP hernia repair under general anesthesia in our hospital.During the operation,the anterior peritoneal space was separated,and then a domestic single balloon catheter was inserted into the extraperitoneal space to expand the latter.The mesh was not fixed during the operation.Results All the operations were successfully completed with a mean operation time of(69.8?21.8)minutes,mean blood loss of(7.6?4.2)ml,and mean postoperative hospital stay of(2.6?1.3)d.Five cases developed laceration of the peritoneum during the operation,and 2 had scrotal hydrocele after the operation.The patients were followed up for 1-7 months [mean,(4.2?2.4)months],no recurrence or chronic pain at operative area were found during this period.Conclusions Modified TEP is feasible for hernia repair.The method is a safe and tension-free technique with a low rate of postoperative chronic pain at the operation region.

Objective To investigate the silencing effect of RNA interference on MSTN gene ( myostatin, MSTN) expression, and detect the effects on the downstream genes in Schizopygopsis pylzovi. Methods To construct the recombi?nant adenovirus vector 1P3 (DSP MSTN 273+250+1737) and 1P2 (DSP MSTN 195+ 1670) for RNA interference of the MSTN gene in Schizopygopsis pylzovi, and to conduct the RNA interference in vivo experiment by injecting the vector in?to the muscle tissue of Schizopygopsis pylzovi. Real?time PCR and Western blotting were used to evaluate the silencing effects on MSTN gene expression, and to detect the regulatory function of M?CK at gene transcription level after RNA inter?ference of the MSTN gene. Results The result of real?time PCR showed that compared with the HK team ( Virus general negative control group) and N team (blank control group), the 1P3 had significant interference effect on the MSTN gene transcription in Schizopygopsis pylzovi (P<0?05), with an inhibition rate of 53?5%, but the 1P2 had no significant inter?ference effect on the MSTN gene transcription. The result of Western blotting was consistent with the results of real?time PCR. At the same time, after the 1P3 interference, the level of MSTN gene transcription was declined, and the level of M? CK gene expression was significantly increased. Conclusions Our results demonstrate that the expression of MSTN gene can be effectively suppressed, and the expression of M?CK gene can be up?regulated through the RNA interference. There?fore, it proves that MSTN gene can inhibit the transcription of M?CK gene in Schizopygopsis pylzovi, and reveals the regula?tory role of MSTN gene in the muscle growth and development in the plateau fish Schizopygopsis pylzovi.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanisms of radix salviae miliorrhizae (RSM)on acute lung injury (ALI)caused by inhalation of high concentration rocket liquid propellant unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH)and dinitrogen tetroxide (N_2O_4). Methods Forty-two rats were divided into three groups:the control group,the inhalation group and the inhalation plus treatment group (RSM group).The latter two groups were inhaled with UDMH 0.98 g/m3 for ten minutes and N_2O_4 0.19 g/m3 for ten minutes.After the inhalation,the rats in RSM group were treated with 9 g?kg -1 RSM intravenously immediately,and were injected into peritoneal cavity with RSM at a dose of 3 g?kg -1 at the 3 hours after the first injection.The rats in other group were treated with equivalent saline.All rats were killed after the observation for six hours.Lung wet to dry ratio (W/D),LDH and total protein in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF),the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD)and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px)in lung tissue,and the malondialdehyde (MDA)of plasma were measured.Histopathology was observed.Results The lung W/D ratio,LDH and total protein in BALF,MDA of plasma were increased in the inhalation group,while the activities of SOD and GSH-Px in lung tissue were decreased.The histopathology of the inhalation groups rats showed that exudation within alveolar space and interstitial thicken of septa was prominent.In the RSM group,above index were improved,and the degree of lung injury in histopathology was relieved.The lung W/D were related to the activities of SOD and GSH-Px in lung tissue,correlation coefficient were-0.661(P
