Objective To investigate the protective effects of melatonin and possible mechanisms on rats with alco-holic fatty liver (AFL). Methods All rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: normal group (n = 10), model group (n = 12) and melatonin groups (10 mg / kg, 20 mg / kg; n = 10, respectively). The model of rats’ alcoholic fatty liver was induced by intragastric influsion of ethanol for 8 weeks. The melatonin groups’ rats received melato-nin by intraperitoneal injection after intragastric infusion of ethanol. Histopathological changes were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were detected by immunohistochemical methods. The detection of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels and alanine transarninase (ALT) levels and the total bilirubin ( TBIL) levels in serum were provided by routine laboratory methods using an autoanalyzer. The levels of malondialdehyde ( MDA) and activities of glutathione peroxidase ( GPx) were measured by spectrophotometry. Results Compared with the normal group, the liver cells of the mod-el group showed obvious steatosis and significant swelling. However, less degree and less extensive of steatosis and swelling were observed in the melatonin groups. Compared with the normal group, the levels of ALT, AST and TBIL in serum and the levels of MDA in liver homogenates were significantly increased in the model group (P <0. 01), and the activities of GPx were distinctly decreased in the model group(P < 0. 01). But in the melatonin groups, the levels of ALT, AST and TBIL in serum and the levels of MDA in liver homogenates were decreased (P< 0. 01), and the activities of GPx were increased (P < 0. 01). Additionally, melatonin lessened the expression of TNF-α and IL-6 in liver obviously (P < 0. 01). Conclusion Melatonin may inhibit the development of alcoholic fatty liver and its possible mechanism is the ability to resist oxidative stress and lessen the expression of TNF-α and IL-6 and other relevant factors in liver.

Objective To evaluate the protective effects elicited by ClpP fusion protein in animal protection tests. Methods Pneumococcal antigens were purified from recombinant Escherichia coli express-ing CIpP cloned gene. 6- to 8-week-old female BALB/c mice were immunized intraperitoneally with either ClpP or PBS plus alum. Every mouse received three doses of 20 μg antigen or PBS in 100 mg of alum adju-vant at 14 d intervals. Sera were collected from mice and analyzed by ELISA 1 week after the third immuni-zation, Intraperitoneal-challenge experiments with 12 different serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae were carried out 2 weeks after the third immunization, and we compared their median survival times and survival rates respectively by Mann Whitney U test and Fisher exact test. Results ELISA analysis demonstrated high titer specific antibody responses to ClpP. The median survival times for mice immunized with ClpP pro-tein antigens in adjuvant were significantly longer than those for mice that received the adjuvants alone. Con-clusion A highly expressed recombinant ClpP protein has been successfully obtained and proved to exert the protection against invasive pneumococcal infection without relation of serotype, suggesting ClpP can be a promising candidate vaccine.

BACKGROUND: We can investigate mechanism of endogenous neuroprotection in rat cerebral hypoxic tolerance trial. OBJECTIVE: To observe the characteristics of cerebral hypoxic tolerance in rat models with cerebral hypoxic preconditioning. DESIGN: Randomized controlled observation. SETTING: Department of Neurology, China-Japanese Friendship Hospital, Jilin University. MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in the Basic Animal Experimental Center, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Jilin University from April 2003 to April 2004. Inbred line healthy Wistar rats, of either sex, with the body mass of 200-300 g, were randomly assigned into normal control group (n=6), sham operation group (n=6), ischemic control group (n=20), hypoxic preconditioning (3 hours, 8% O2 and 92% N2) plus ischemic group (n=60) (according to different hypoxic phases, there were 5 time phases: 30 minutes, 1, 3, 5 and 6 hours with 12 rats in each time phase), hypoxic preconditioning group (n=18) [according to different hypoxic phases, there were 3 time phases: 1, 3 and 5 hours with 6 rats in each time phase, 3 rats received TTC staining and 3 rats received hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining]. METHODS: ①Hypoxic preconditioning: Firstly, natrica calx was put into closed glass container to absorb CO2 and O2, secondly, mixed gas of 8% O2 and 92% N2 was input, and then animals were put into the container, 3 rats each time. Temperature and humidity were kept steadily. ②Permanent ischemic middle cerebral artery rat models were established. ③The models were determined with a series in procedures: neurological score, infarcted volume evaluation, pathological sample preparation, immunohistochemical staining, imaging analysis and so on. ④The data were compared in groups with variance analysis.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Changes in cerebral infarcted volume, neurological score and pathological morphology in rats of experimental group and control group. RESULTS: Neurological score in the hypoxic preconditioning (8% O2, at hours 1, 3 and 5) plus ischemic group was lower than in the ischemic control group(P<0.01). Neurological score at minute 30 and hour 6 after hypoxia (8% O2) had insignificant difference in the ischemic control group. Mean cerebral infarcted volume ratio in the hypoxic preconditioning (8% O2, at hours 1, 3 and 5) plus ischemic group was lower than in the ischemic control group(P<0.01). Mean cerebral infarcted volume ratio after hypoxia (8% O2, at minute 30 and hour 6) had insignificant difference with ischemic control group (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Hypoxic preconditioning in rats can effectively release nerve injury induced by focal cerebral ischemia, suggesting that it has protective effect on brain. The procedure of establishing cerebral ischemic tolerance models with hypoxic preconditioning, which is simple and stable, with little injury on experimental animals, is a useful tool for studying cerebral ischemic tolerance.
