Objective To observe the changes in NO content and NOS activity of serum and the testis in Wistar rats with type I diabetes mellitus. Methods 63 rats were randomly divided into control group(C) and diabetes group(D). Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of Alloxan. Rats with diabetes were observed for 1 week(D 1), 2 weeks(D 2), 3 weeks(D 3), 4 weeks(D 4), 5 weeks(D 5), 6 weeks(D 6), 7 weeks(D 7) and 8 weeks(D 8), respectively, and they were sacrificed at the end of each observation period. Serum was obtained and testis homogenates were prepared, and the levels of NO content and NOS activity of them were determined respectively. Results Compared diabetes group with control group, NO contents and NOS activity of serum from diabetic rats were higher, then NOS activity began to decline to approach the control level. In the testis homogenates, NO content dropped slightly after injection of Alloxan, while NOS activity showed no significant change. Thereafter, both NO content and NOS activity of testis homogenates were increased. Conclusion There are changes in NO content and NOS activity of serum and testis of rats after diabetes are induced with Alloxan.

Objective To investigate the effect of botulinum toxin type A injection on the expres-sion of substance P, TGF-β1 and α-SMA in rabbit ear model of hypertrophic scar. Methods The hyper-trophic sear model was established in 24 Japanese rabbits'ears. The wounds in ventral surface of ear were divided in Group I (lateral wounds) and Group S (medial wounds), 3 wounds each side per ear, totally 72 wounds each group. The wound-healing time and the growth of scar were observed and recorded. On post-wounding day 28, the wounds were created in another 6 rabbits in the same way and the normal skin were harvested as Group C. Likewise, the scar samples in Groups I and S were harvested. The mRNA expression of substance P, TGF-β1 and α-SMA were detected quantitatively by using real-time PCR and α-SMA was also detected with Western blot. Results No difference between the ratio of healed or infec-tious wounds on post-wounding day 14. The mRNA expression of SP, TGF-β1 and α-SMA in Group I was significantly lower than Group S, but higher than those in Group C (P<0. 01 and <0. 05, respec-tively). The blot density of α-SMA and the ratio of blot density of a-SMA to β-actin in Group I were be-tween that of the other two groups. Conclusion Without delaying the wound-healing, botulinum toxin type A injection significantly decreases the expression of SP, TGF-β1 and α-SMA in rabbit ear model of hypertrophic scar.

Aim To explore the effects of inhibitors of glycosphingolipid biosynthesis D-PDMP on the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells. Methods Neural stem cells cultured in vitro were treated with different concentration of D-PDMP. The effects of D-PDMP on proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells were evaluated by counting of neurospheres size and cellular number, MTT assaying and the experiment of inducing differentiation.Results Neurospheres were smaller in size after treated with D-PDMP. The data of cellular counting and MTT assay suggested that D-PDMP could inhibit proliferation of neural stem cells and lead cells death in higher concentration, D-PDMP also reduced the differentiation ability of neural stem cells. Although differentiated cells were fewer, they could be induced into neurons and astrocytes.Conclusion The inhibitors of glycosphingolipid biosynthesis D-PDMP could inhibit the proliferation of neural stem cells, even lead cells death. It also reduced the differentiation ability of neural stem cells.
