OBJECTIVETo assess the curative effects of different drugs on liver cell damage of rats induced by acute nickel carbonyl poisoning.
METHODSIn present study 220 SD rats were divided into control group (10 rats), carbonyl nickel group (10 rats), 20 mg/kg methylprednisolone group (40 rats), 100 mg/kg DDC group (40 rats), 10 µmol/kg sodium selenite group (40 rats), 0.25 ml shenfuhuiyangtang group (40 rats) and 20 mg/kg methylprednisolone with 100 mg/kg DDC group (40 rats). All rats except for control group inhaled passively 250 mg/m(3) carbonyl nickel for 30 minutes. At 4h and 30h after exposure, the drugs were given intraperitoneally to the rats. On the 3rd and 7th days after exposure, the liver samples were taken from 10 rats each group. The DNA damage of liver cells was detected using comet assay, the ultrastructure changes in liver cells were examined under an electronmicroscope.
RESULTSCompared to carbonyl nickel group, the tail lengths of liver cells in 5 groups administrated at 4 h or 30 h and tested on the 3rd or 7th day after exposure decreased significantly (P < 0.05). Compared to the control group, the tail lengths of liver cells in sodium selenite and shenfuhuiyangtang groups administrated at 4h after exposure or sodium selenite, shenfuhuiyangtang and methylprednisolone with DDC groups administrated at 30h after exposure increased significantly (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), when tested on the 3rd day after exposure. Except from methylprednisolone sub-group administrated at 4h and tested on the 7th day after exposure, the tail lengths of liver cells in other groups administrated at 4 h or 30 h and tested on the 7th day after exposure increased significantly (P < 0.05). Compared to carbonyl nickel group, the Olive moment of liver cells in 5 groups administrated at 4 h or 30 h tested on the 3rd or 7th day after exposure decreased significantly (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Compared to the control group, the Olive moment of liver cells in following groups (selenite and shenfuhuiyangtang groups administrated at 4 h or 30 h and tested on the 3rd or 7th day after exposure, DDC group administrated at 4 h or 30 h and tested on the 7th day after exposure, DDC group administrated at 30h and tested on the 3rd day after exposure, and methylprednisolone with DDC group administrated at 30 h and tested on the 7th day after exposure) increased significantly (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). As compared with carbonyl nickel group, the ultrastructure observation indicated that the nucleus and other organelles of liver cells in methylprednisolone, DDC and methylprednisolone with DDC groups administrated at 4h and tested on the 3rd day were access to normal levels.
CONCLUSIONThe results of present study showed that methylprednisolone, DDC and methylprednisolone with DDC could improve obviously the repair of rat liver cell damage induced by acute carbonyl nickel poisoning, and the curative effects of early treatment were better than those of later treatment.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the mechanism of enalapril for renal interstitial fibrosis by observing the effect of enalapril on the expression of transforming growth factor-beta1(TGF-beta1), p-Smad2/3 and Smad7 in renal tissuess of unilateral urethral obstruction (UUO) rat model.
METHODS:
Thirty female Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were randomly subdivided into a sham-operated group, a model group and an enalapril treated group. UUO model was induced by ligating the left ureter of rats. All rats were sacrificed 14 days after UUO. Pathological changes of the renal tissue were observed by HE and Masson staining, the protein expressions of Collagen I (ColI), TGF-beta1, p-Smad2/3 and Smad7 were detected by immunohistochemical staining,and the mRNA expressions of TGF-beta1 and Smad7 were detected by RT-PCR.
RESULTS:
The renal interstitial damage index, the relative Collagen area and the expression of ColI in the model group significantly increased(P<0.01). Enalapril reduced these indexes. The protein and mRNA expressions of TGF-beta1 and the protein expressions of p-Smad2/3 were low in the sham-operated group, but were strongly positive in the model group, and enalapril could decrease the expressions of TGF-beta1 and p-Smad2/3(P<0.01). The protein and mRNA expressions of Smad7 in the model group were less than that in the sham-operated group(P<0.01),and enalapril could improve the expressions of Smad7(P<0.01).
CONCLUSION
Enalapril could inhibit the renal interstitial fibrosis by affecting TGF-beta1, p-Smad2/3 and Smad7 of TGF-beta/smads pathway in the renal tissues of UUO rats.
