Objective:To observe the pulmonary apoptosis resulted from ischemia reperfusion lung injury in rats. Methods: Forty male SD rats, weighing 300 350 g,were randomly divided into 8 groups: 6 ischemia reperfusion group,simple ischemia group and control group( n =5).An in situ ischemia reperfusion lung injury rat model was established. Apoptotic cells were detected by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediate dUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL) technique and the apoptotic DNA fragments by pulmonary DNA electrophoresis. Electron microscopy was performed to verify the morphologic changes of apoptosis. Results: Obvious apoptosis of pneumocytes occurred early after(30 min) ischemia reperfusion lung injury, with the peak on 2 h after reperfusion, and there were no significant differences 12 h after reperfusion compared with control group. There was a slight but no statistically significant elevation of apoptotic pneumocytes number in simple ischemia group compared with controls. Conclusion: The result indicates that apoptosis may contribute significantly to ischemia reperfusion lung injury.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method of microbial limit test for Ofloxacin gel. METHODS:Test sample solutions were prepared by MnSO4,CaCl2 and MgCl2 gelout with different concentrations,the numbers of bacteria and control bacteria were detected by membrane filtration method,and the numbers of molds and yeasts were determined by conventional method. RE-SULTS:The conventional method showed the recoveries of Candida albicaus and Aspergillus niger were more than 70% after not treated by gel breaker;the membrane filtration method showed the recoveries of Escherichia coli,Staphylococcus aurus and Baci-lus subtilis were more than 70% after treated by 5% MnSO4,3% CaCl2 and 1% MgCl2;the membrane filtration method could de-tect the control bacteria after treated by gel breaker. CONCLUSIONS:Gel breaker with appropriate concentrations can effectively eliminate the antibacterial activity of Ofloxacin gel. The established method is suitable for its microbial limit test.

BACKGROUND: Preparing the tracheal prosthesis by biomaterials is crucial for studying the implant of long tracheal defect.The biocompatibility and biodegradability of collagen/hydroxyapatite (Col/HAp) and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) in vivo, as a artificial material for tracheal prosthesis, need to be observed.OBJECTIVE: To explore in vivo biodegradability of Col/HAp and PLGA of tracheal prosthesis in rats.DESIGN: Randomized controlling observation.SETTING: Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Clinical College of Yangzhou University; Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Changzheng Hospital of the Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the National Experimental Animal Center of the Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from March 2003 to December 2004. Sixteen SD rats of either gender were offered by this center, aged three months and weighed 150-170 g. Col/HAp and PLGA (the copolymer of polylactic acid and polyglycolic acid according to the percent of 90:10) were self-made.METHODS: ①Empirical process: Rats were fed adaptively for 1 week and anesthetized. Then undermining dissection was performed along with musculi dorsal surface toward spine bilaterally, so as to form two capsular gaps, which were implanted with Col/HAp sponge and PLGA fiber mesh cloth respectively, in a size of 10 mm ×10 mm. ②Empirical evaluation: The postoperative activity, incision healing and rejection of rats were observed; 2, 4, 6, 8 weeks postoperatively, the Col/HAp sponge and PLGA mat that were embedded subcutaneously as well as surrounding tissues were determined using scanning electron microscope or transmission electron microscope.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: In vivo biodegradability of two materials implanted in rats at different time points.RESULTS: ①All the animals could carry out normal activity, respiration and diet; no incision infection, fluidity, necrosis or sinus tract appeared; there was no edema in the skins of implanted area, neither hypersensitiveness nor toxicity was found; the implant materials had no rejection. ②The features of the implanted materials varied throughout the implantation. During the follow-up, the infiltration of inflammatory cells was found in the interface between the implants and neighboring host tissues in the early stage, phagocytes and fibroblastic cells were also observed later. As the process went on, the materials were biodegraded gradually, encapsulated by phagocytes, and replaced by newly generated fibrous tissues. No remarkable harmful influences of the composite materials on the neighboring host tissues such as apomorphosis, necrosis, hyperplasia and foreign body reaction were observed grossly and microscopically.CONCLUSION: All the implants show a good biocompatibility and biodegradability. Both Col/HAp and PLGA go through a gradual process of biodegradability, biological absorption and replacement by host tissues ultimately in vivo, which suggest that these two kinds of composite biomaterials will be used safely in developing tracheal prosthesis.
