Journal of Chongqing Medical University 1986;0(04):-
Objective: To investigate the effects of cadmium and the protection of testosterone propionate on submandibular gland of male rats.Methods:Thirty-five male adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: control,Cd and Cd + T group.The cadmium concentrations in submandibular gland were measured by flame mode of atomic absorption spectrophotometry.The morphologic changes of GCT cells were observeded by transmission electron microscopy.The expression of AR was determined by immunohistochemical SABC method and was semi-quantitatively analysed by image analysis.Results:The main ultrastructural changes after Cd treatment included swelling or vacuolation of mitochondria,increase of myelin figures in GCT cells,and swelling of mitochondria in the endothelial cells of peritubular capillaries.The changes above were most prominent at 7~15d,and swelling of the cytoplasm and slight karyolysis were also found.The morphology of GCT cells didn't recovery to normal yet after 30d.On the other hand,the ultrastructural lesions of GCT cells in Cd+T group were gentle.Compared with the control group,the cadmium concentrations in both Cd and Cd+T groups were significantly increased.Although they were lower in Cd+T group than that in Cd group,there was no significant difference between the two groups.The immunoreactivity level of AR in Cd and Cd+T groups decreased after Cd treatment,but it was higher in Cd+T group than that in corresponding Cd group,and had significant difference between them at 3,7,15d.Conclusions: The present results indicate that the earlier ultrastructural damage of GCT is related to the direct action of cadmium.The decrease of androgen and androgen receptor might aggravate the damage at later stages.To some extent,testosterone pretreatment could prevent toxicity of cadmium on submandibular gland.

3.Role of autophagy in cardiac myocyte during ischemia/reperfusion
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1986;0(06):-
Autophagy is a ubiquitous physiological process that occurs in all eukaryotic cells.It can be induced by starvation,ischemia/reperfusion injury and heart failure.Rational autophagy in cardiac cells during ischemia/reperfusion helps to keep cellular homeostasis,and inhibit the cell loss.However,inappropriate activation of autophagy leads to cell death.

AIM To explore whether plasma vasoactive substances and neutrophil infiltration make different contribution in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and protective effect of triacetylshikimic acid(TSA). METHODSThe rat models of ischemia 90 min and reperfusion 3-48 h were prepared with middle cerebral artery occlusion. TSA 50-200 mg·kg-1 were given (ig) immediately and 60 min again after the onset of ische- mia. Serotonin and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) concentrations in plasma were detected by fluorescence spectrophotometry and radioimmunoassay respectively. Myeloperoxidase(MPO) activity in brain tissue was quantified by chemical analysis. RESULTS At 3-24 h after reperfusion, the concentrations of plasmic serotonin, TXB2, and brain MPO activity increased obviously in a time-dependent manner. At 48 h after reperfusion, the concentrations of serotonin and TXB2 decreased to the same level of sham. Nevertheless, brain MPO activity remained more elevated than the contralateral cortex. At 24 h after reperfusion, TSA (100 and 200 mg·kg-1) was shown to possess the ability to inhibit the increased plasmic serotonin, TXB2 concentrations, and brain MPO activity induced by focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. CONCLUSION Vasoactive substances in plasma and MPO activity in brain tissue show different time courses during focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion and make different contribution to brain damage. TSA is effective to protect the ischemic brain tissue from ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Aim To explore the changes of protein expression pattern of myocardial tissues in mini-pig with coronary heart disease. Methods Based on the model of mini-pig with coronary heart disease,the total proteins of myocardial tissues from each group were separated by two dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE).Protein exeprssion pattern in normal and model group was contrasted by Image Master 2D Elite 6.01 analysis software. Then the different proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF-MS. Results Compared with normal group,14 proteins had been determined to change:13 proteins were up-regulated and 1 proteins specifically expressed in mini-pig myocardial tissues of the disease. With the search engine MASCOT,4 proteins including HSPA8 (Hsc70)protein,apolipoprotein A-Ⅳ(apoA-Ⅳ),albumin and desmin were identified.Conclusions These four proteins may play an important role in the occurrence and development of coronary heart disease. The result will be further validated by other biological methods.
