Journal of Chinese Physician 2010;12(5):629-632
Objective To research the effect of octreotide on the lung injury of far place organ after ischemia-reperfusion in rabbit liver.Methods Prings maneuver rabbit hepatic ischemia-reperfusion models were established. 24 adult New Zealand rabbits were random divided into three groups: group Ⅰ (sham operative group) , group Ⅱ (ischemia-reperfusion by physiological saline group) and group Ⅲ (octreotide preconditioning group). To group Ⅲ, we injected octreotide of 20μg/kg to abdominal cavity and octreotide of 30(μg/kg to skin following, and octreotide was dissolved into 2ml with 0. 9% physiological saline. To group Ⅰ and Ⅱ, octreotide were replaced with the same amount of physiological saline. The changes of MAP, HR in every group were recorded at the time before ischemia (T1 ) , 30min (T2) after ischemia, 30min(T3) , 60min(T4) , 120min(T5) , 240min(T6) after reperfusion. The tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) and interleukin-lbeta (IL-1β) in the plasma in every group at T1, T2, T3, T4 , T5, T6 were detected. These rabbits were killed 240 min after reperfusion, then the lung's hepatocellular ultrastructures of every group were observed under electromicroscope, and the apoptosis of lung was detected by TUNEL. Results The MAP, HR of group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ were lower than that of group Ⅰ at T2 to T4. Moreover, group Ⅱ were lower than that of group Ⅲ (P <0.05). The TNF-a, IL-1β of group Ⅱ (fromT2) and group Ⅲ ( from T3) were higher than that of group Ⅰ ( P < 0.05) , and group Ⅲ were lower than group Ⅱ after ischemia (P <0. 01). Through electromicroscope, we found that the injury of the lungs hepatocellular ultrastructure in group Ⅲ was slighter than that in group Ⅱ . We detected the apoptosis of the lung organizes by TUNEL under 5 fields of light microscopes, and found that the apoptosis counts of group Ⅱ (55. 82 ±4. 19) and group Ⅲ (32. 17 ±3. 10) were more than that of group Ⅰ (3. 96 ±0. 87), and group Ⅲ were less than thatof group Ⅱ (P < 0. 01). Conclusion Octreotide can protect the lung injury of far place organ after ische-mia-reperfusion in rabbit liver.

Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(01):-
AIM: To investigate the changes in intracellular potassium activity(a iK) and membrane potential(V_m) induced by low external sodium infusion (Low _o) and to detect the mechanisms involved and the relationship between a iK and V_m. METHODS: a iK and V_m were measured in infusion with different sodium concentrations using methods of convenient and ion selective microelectrodes in guinea pig ventricular myocardium. RESULTS: Low _o resulted in a decrease in a iK and an increase in V_m in a Na + concentration-dependent manner.At the same time,contraction and resting potential increased, and action potential duration decreased markedly,but action potential amplitude was not affected. A change of the pH from 7.4 to 7.0 in low _o solution reduced the decrease in a iK, but did not affect the increase in V_m. CONCLUSION: A better linear relationship appeared between the changes in a ik and _o or in V_m and _o,while during each low _o the change in both a iK or V_m may reach a new balance level.

Objective To explore the significance of peritubular capillary C4d deposition in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of the patients with acute renal allograft rejection.Methods 86 allograft biopsies obtained from 78 kidney transplants were examined by immunohistochemistry on routine paraffin sections using anti-C4d polyclonal antibody. The relationship of C4d and functions, therapies and prognoses of allografts was analyzed. Results There were 32 allograft biopsies with Banff type Ⅰ rejection, 51 with Banff type Ⅱ rejection and 3 with Banff type Ⅲ rejection. Thirty biopsies were positive in C4d deposition. For 28 patients, at least one biopsy exhibited peritubular C4d deposition. There was no significant difference between type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ rejection ( 21.9 % vs 39.2 % , P= 0.101 ). The C4d~ + group had proportionately more patients with pregnant history (P= 0.020 ), more patients with high panel-reactive antibody levels (P= 0.013 ), and more retransplanted patients (P= 0.016 ). Mean serum creatinine was significantly higher in C4d positive patients than in negative patients[( 312.56 ? 196.26 ) ?mol/L vs ( 210.97 ? 136.59 ) ?mol/L, P= 0.0115 ]. Patients with C4d deposition were more commonly resistant to antirejection therapy with bolus steroids ( 75.0 % vs 28.0 % , P= 0.000 ) and ATG ( 66.7 % vs 12.5 % , P= 0.027 ). More patients with peritubular C4d deposition lost their grafts during the study period (64.3 % vs 90.0 %, P= 0.006 ).Conclusion Acute rejection with C4d deposition were resistant to antirejection therapy with steroids and/or ATG, and associated with inferior graft outcome.

Objective To study the protective effect of octreotide on myocardial injury after hepatic ischemia-reperfusion in rabbit. Methods Pringle's maneuver rabbit hepatic ischemia-reperfusion model was established. 24 adult New Zealand rabbits were random divided into equal 3 groups: sham operative group ( group A) , ischemia-reperfusion group( group B) and octreotide preconditioning group ( group C ). The levels of CK-MB( MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase) and LDH ( 1actate dehydrogenase), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) of each group were measured at the time before ischemia (T1) , after ischemia for 30 mins ( T2 ) and after reperfusion for 60 mins ( T3 ), 120mins ( T4 ), 240 mins ( T5 ). The SOD and MDA in myocardial tissue of each group were measured after reperfusion for 240 mins. The changes of ultrastructure in the myocardial cell were observed by transmission electron microscopy after reperfusion for 240 mins. Results There was no significant difference in the levels of CK-MB and LDH in serum of each group before ischemia ( P >0. 05). The CK-MB and LDH of group B and C were higher than that of group A ( P <0.05) after ischemia for30 mins. The CK-MB and LDH of group C were lower than that of group B in this period( P <0. 05 ). The highest time point of LDH and CK-MB were after reperfusion for 120 mins and 240 mins. The contents of MDA in group B and group C were higher than that in group A from after ischemia for 30 mins in plasma and after reperfusion for 240 mins in myocardial tissue ( P < 0. 05 ),and it in group C were lower than that in group B( P <0.05) .The contents of SOD in group B and group C were lower than that in group A from after ischemia for 30 mins in blood plasma and after reperfusion for 240 mins in myocardial tissue ( P <0. 05), and in group C were higher than that in group B( P <0. 05).The electromicroscope showed that the pathological change of myocardial ultrastructure of group C was slighter than that of group B. Conclusion Octreotide can stabilize myocardial cell membrane and reduce release of oxygen free radical and significantly relieve the injury of myocardial ultrastructure after hepatic ischemiareperfusion in rabbit. Octreotide preconditioning can relieve myocardial injury after hepatic ischemia-reperfusion in rabbit.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship of the height difference and bone density (BD) of premenopausal and postmenopausal women. METHODS: The height values of 191 premenopausal and postmenopausal women were recorded, and the BD values of lumbar vertebrae and hip were detected by double energy X-ray BD detector. RESULTS: The lower the height of the postmenopausal women, the less the BD value. The BD of lumbar vertebrae dropped 0.025 5 g/cm(2) with each 2 cm of the shortened height, and the BD of hip joint dropped 0.029 2 g/cm(2). The shortened value in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis was statistically greater than that in postmenopausal women without osteoporosis. CONCLUSION: The BD of the postmenopausal women can be estimated by the calculation of their shortened height value.
