Objective To evaluate the effects of rHGF on liver regeneration after partial transplantation.Methods The partial orthotopic liver transplanted model was established in SD rats with two-cuff technique. In experimental group, immediate after operation, 500 ?g/kg rHGF was administered intravenously twice a day. Same vehicle of saline was administered as control. The rats were (killed) randomly on the day 1, 2, 4 and 7 after operation. The serum levels of albumin and alanine (aminotransferase) were detected. Each liver was removed and weighed. The expression of Ki-67 antigen was detected by using immunohistochemistry assay. The regeneration response of hepatocytes was evaluated by flow cytometry.Results The wet weigh in rHGF group was significantly larger than that in control group 1, 2 days after transplantation. The serum level of alanine aminotransferase was (lower) and that of albumin was higher in rHGF group than in control group 4, 7 days after operation. The proliferating index and Ki-67 labeling index of graft in rHGF group were higher than in control group.Conclusion rHGF can promote the regeneration of hepatocytes after partial transplantation.

Objective To explore the effect of lysolecithin choline (LPC) on blood-brain barrier(BBB) permeability in rats with acute pancreatitis. Methods Acute pancreatitis rat model was produced and rats were randomly divided into:(1)Test group-AP, rats received LPC by tail vein injection; (2)control group I, AP rats were given normal saline by tail vein injection; (3)control group II, sham operation without AP, but LPC was given by tail vein injection.Horseradish peroxidase(HRP) was used as a tracer to determine BBB permeability 7~10 days later.Results The test group showed local extravascular effusion of HRP, indicating that BBB permeability was markedly increased,while both control groups showed no apparent increase of BBB permeability,which were statistically significant(P

Objective To observe the hemodynamic variations of both the mother and fetus when the pregnancy was complicated with early-onset of severe preeclampsia, and to evaluate the role of monitoring the blood flow with Doppler in the management and prognostic value in the same condition. Methods A prospective case-control study was conducted in 36 pregnant women admitted for early-onset of severe preeclampsia (S-PE). The control group included 72 healthy pregnant women matched with the S-PE group. All had color Doppler sonography monitored during this study period. Data were collected for the umbilical artery (UA) pulsatility index (PI) and systolic/diastolic ratio (S/D) , the middle cerebral artery (MCA) PI and S/D and the maternal mean uterine artery (UtA) PI and S/D. Those subjects with adverse perinatal outcomes were followed up after birth. Results The mean Doppler indices(S/D and PI) of fetal UA, MCA and maternal UtA were all declined gradually with the advancing gestational ages in both groups. The values of UA-S/D, UA-PI, UtA-S/D, and UtA-PI in the early-onset S-PE group were significantly higher than those of the control(P

AIM:To study whether cordycepin (Cordy) plays a role in myocardial protection by regulating the expression of microRNA-455 ( miR-455) and reducing apoptosis induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress in the ischemia -reperfusion (IR) rats.METHODS: SD rats (250 ~300 g) were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group, the chests of the rats were only opened;IR group, the rats were given myocardial ischemia for 30 min, and then reperfusion for 120 min;IR+Cordy group:before IR, the rats were given Cordy (10 mg/kg) through femoral vein injection once a day for one week, and the last injection was given 30 min before ischemia.Automated biochemical analysis was used to detect rat serum activity of LDH and CK-MB.The myocardial endothelial cell ( EC) apoptotic rate was measured by TUNEL , and the ultrastructural changes of the myocardial EC were observed under transmission electron microscope .RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of miR-455 and the mRNA levels of glucose-regulated protein 78 ( Grp78) and caspase-12 in the myo-cardium.RESULTS:Compared with control group, EC apoptosis in IR group was significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with IR group , EC apoptosis in IR +Cordy group decreased significantly ( P<0.05 ) .Compared with control group, swelling of mitochondria , irregular membrane , loose wrinkles with vacuoles , disappeared matrix granules , irregular nuclear membrane , chromatin condensation , disappeared nucleoli and even small apoptosis body in the EC were found in IR group.Compared with IR group , the symptoms in IR +Cordy group were greatly improved .Compared with control group, the mRNA expression of Grp78 and caspase-12 as well as the miR-455 level in IR group was increased (P<0.05). Compared with IR group , the mRNA expression of Grp78 and caspase-12, as well as the miR-455 level in IR+Cordy group was decreased (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Cordycepin attenuates myocardial EC apoptosis , down-regulates the expres-sion of miR-455, and inhibits endoplasmic reticulum stress in the myocardium .

Objective:To investigate the possibility of establishing a new animal model of pulmonary arterial hypertension by immunizing rat with moesin, detecting the anti-moesin antibody and measuring the mean pulmonary arterial pressure ( mPAP ) . Methods:35 male SD rats were divided into 5 groups, namely, positive control group, blank control group, adjuvant control group, low-dose moesin(250 μg per time) immunized group and high-dose moesin(500 μg per time) immunized group.Each control group had 5 rats, while the 2 immunized groups had 10 rats respectively.The mPAP was measured and the pathological changes of the lung were studied at the endpoint of the study.Results:All the rats immunized by moesin produced anti-moesin antibody.At the endpoint, low-dose and high-dose immunized group had a significantly higher mPAP(20.6±2.9 mmHg, 20.7±2.3 mmHg, respectively) than blank control(15.5 ±0.6 mmHg, P=0.002, 0.001, respectively) and adjuvant control (17.2 ±1.6mmHg, P=0.03, 0.013, respectively).There was no difference between adjuvant and blank control(P=0.93).The mPAP of both immunized groups was not as high as the positive control(33.9±4.7 mmHg,P<0.001,P=0.001, respectively).Pathological study indicated that the immunized rats showed arterial wall thickening and muscularization, as well as inflammation around the vessel, which was similar to the positive control.Conclusion:Our pilot study showed moesin could induce rat to develop PAH.Moesin immunized rat could be a new animal model, which could mimic better the pathogenesis of connective tissue disease associated pulmonary arterial hypertension.
