Chinese Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics 2002;0(06):-
AIM: To observe the effects of D-galactose on the lumber vertebra body and investigate the reasons. METHODS: 12 rats at age of 6 months were divided into two groups, control group and D-galactose group (n=6 in each). The control group were administered saline solution sc, and the D-galactose group were administered 5% D-galactose solution sc at dose of 100 mg?kg -1. After 3 month, the rats were killed by exsanguination from heart. The fourth lumber vertebra was taken and immerged in formalin. The testicle were taken and immerged in formalin at the same time. The blood serum was collected by centrifugating the collected blood after resting for a while, and it was preserved in refrigeratory at the degree of - 70 ℃.The vertebra body were embedded in plastic and sliced up after being dehydrated step by step with different concentration ethanol. The slices were analyzed under the image analysis apparatus. The testicle were made into paraffin slices and observed under the common microscope. The concentration of serum testosterone and luteinizing hormone were measured by radio-immunity assay. RESULTS: The lumber vertebra body in D-galactose group appeared osteoporosis. The serum testosterone hormone concentrations of D-galactose rats were significantly decreased. And the microstructure of testicle present aging change, but no change of serum LH concentration was observed. CONCLUTION: D-galactose can cause the osteoporosis in male rats, which may be related to affect the function of thalamus-pituitary-testicle axis, decrease the content of testosterone of D-galactose.

Objective The management of fluid infusion is crucial in severe sepsis/septic shock patients.The correlation of extravascular lung water index(EVLWI) versus oxygenation index ( PaO2/FiO2 ) and EVLWI versus intrathoracic blood volume index(ITBVI) were analysed in this present study. Method Totally 24 patients,admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University, College of Medicine and diagnosed as severe sepsis/septic shock with acute lung injury and/or acute respiratory distress syndrome,were enrolled. ITBVI and EVLWI were detected with PiCCO technique. Correlation of EVLWI and PaO2/FiO2, ITBVI and EVLWI were analysed,respectively. Simple correlation and simple linear regression were used for statistical analysis. Results Significant negative correlation was found of EVLWI and PaO2/FiO2 ( r = - 0. 45, P < 0.01).EVLWT = 14 mL/kg was defined as the cutoff value for the subgroup analysis. No correlation was found between EVLWI and PaO2/FiO2 in the subgroup with EVLWI≤ 14 mL/kg ( r = 0. 12, P = 0.243), but in the subgroup with EVLWI > 14 mL/kg, significant negative correlation was found ( r = - 0. 47, P < 0. 01 ). When EVLWI was higher than 14 mL/kg,EVLW should be decreased to improve oxygenation and other aspects should be taken into account. No significant correlation was found between ITBVI and EVLWI. A ITBVI value 1000 mL/m2 was also defined as the cutoff value for the subgroup analysis. No significant correlation was found in the subgroup with ITBVI≤ 1000 mL/m2( r = 0.13, P = 0.17), while significant positive correlation was found in the subgroup with ITBVI > 1000 mL/m2. This result suggested that in patients of severe sepsis/septic shock with ALI/ARDS, when the blood volume is high, ITBV should be decreased to improve the oxygenation,however,it is not useful in the situation of high pulmonary vascular permeability. Conclusions Extravascular lung water has a important role in the fluid management in patients of severe sepsis/septic shock with ALI/ARDS.

Aim To study the effects of D-galactose o n bone of rats. Methods Forty-two Sprague-Dawley rats at age of 3 months with half female and half male were divided into five groups randoml y, basal, OVX or ORX , D-galactose at dose of 50 mg?kg -1?d -1 (L), D-galactose at dose of 100 mg?kg -1?d -1 (M), galactose a t dose of 200 mg?kg -1?d -1 (H).The former two groups were SC inject ed physiological saline and the latter three groups were injected three differen t doses of D-galactose respectively. Two months later the rats were killed by setting blood free from hearts, then the left thighbones and tibias were take n. The tibias were cut at 8 ?m sections for static and dynamic bone histomorph ometric analyses. The thighbones were dried and weighed. All rats were given sc injections of tetracycline 25 mg?kg -1 (first fluorochrome bone marker) on 14 and d 13,and calcein 10 mg?kg -1(second fluorochrome bone marker) on 4 and d 3 before sacrifice. The testicles and the ovaries were taken and made the paraffin slices for observing the microstructure under the microscope. Results D-galactose had no effects on bone of female rats, but can made male rats lose bone significantly and the rats appeared osteoporosis. The static parameters in three different dose male rats bone which relate to bone ma ss %Tb. Ar decreased 53.5%,53.5%,46.6% respectively, Tb.N decreased 42.9%,4 7.6%,38.1% respectively, TB.Sp increased 85%,150%,67.3% respectivly. The dynamic parameters which relate to bone formation %L. Pm decreased 24.1% 89.1% , 65.5% respectively. The convoluted suminiferous tubule disordered, lumens dil ated, and basal membrane disintegrated. Conclusion D-galac tose had different effects on bone of different gender rats. There is no effect on female bone, but it can induce the male rats osteoporosis. The mechanism of D-galactose on bone was probably due to the different effects on gonad glan ds.
