Objective To observe the effect of aprotinin preconditioning on nitric oxide (NO), nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and oxyradical during spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury in rabbits.Methods 21 rabbits were randomly divided into the aprotinin treatment group (8 rabbits), control group (8 rabbits) and sham operative group (5 rabbits). The infrarenal segment in abdominal aorta was clamped for 60 min to construct the model of lumbosacral spinal cord ischemia in rabbits. Reperfusion was followed and kept on for 24 h until the blood flow regained normal. In the treatment group, aprotinin was given at 3×107 IU/kg as a short time intravenous injection for 10 min before ischemia, and then was drilled with micro pump by 1×107 IU/kg/h. Normal saline was used in the control group, the ischemia-reperfusion duration between aprotinin treatment group and control group remained same. The sham operative group was only exposured abdominal aorta and not clamped. The rabbits were killed before ischemia and 8 h, 24 h after ischemia-reperfusion, lumbar segment was harvested to detect content of NO, malondialdehyde (MDA), induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) of spinal cord.Results 8 h after spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion, compared with the control group, the content of NO, MDA and the activity of iNOS were less, and the activity of SOD was more in the aprotinin treatment group ( P<0.05).Conclusion Aprotinin pretreatment can reduce the content of NO, MDA and descend the activity of NOS. Moreover aprotinin pretreatment can ascend the activity of SOD and improve apoptosis of nerve cell.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of electroacupuncture and diet adjusting on insulin resistance in rats with nutrition obesity, and the role of electroacupuncture and diet adjusting in the treatment of obesity. METHODS: Obesity was induced in rats by high-fat diet. Rats with nutrition obesity were randomly divided into high-fat diet (HD) group, high-fat diet plus electroacupuncture (HA) group, normal diet (ND) group and normal diet plus electroacupuncture (NA) group, with another group of SD rats as normal control (NC). After 15 days, all the rats' body weight and length were measured, the Lee's index was calculated, and the levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), free fatty acid (FFA), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) were detected. RESULTS: Compared with the HD group, food intake, body weight and viscera fat weight of the rats with nutrition obesity in the HA group and the NA group were markedly reduced (P<0.05). The levels of blood serum TC, FFA and IR index in the NA group were obviously lower than those in the HD group (P<0.01). The levels of TNF-alpha and FINS in the NA group were lower than those in the HD group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Electroacupuncture plus diet adjusting can decrease the levels of serum TNF-alpha and FINS of the obesity rats, and improve the state of insulin resistance.
