Objective To study the therapeutic effect of pulse-activating injection on acute poisoning by pa-raquat(PQ). Methods 50 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into five experimental groups: blank group, negative control group, positive control group, low-dose pulse-activating injection group (LDG), and high-dose pulse-activating injection group(HDG) (n = 10 for each group). Blank group were injected with normal suline,30 ml/kg,and other groups were established as acute paraquat poisoning models. Macroscopic and histopathological ex-aminations were performed and biological indexes were measured for the lung specimens. The indexes included lung wet weight/dry weight,the rats of neutrophils and protein content in the pulmonary alveolar lavage fluid. In the mean time, the level of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) both in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage flui(BALF) were detected. Results Compared with that in negative control group,lung congestion and lung edema of LDG group were mitigated; and the MDA level decreased from (5.04± 0.50) nmol/ml,(1. 19±0.18) nmol/ml to (4.04±0.21) nmol/ml,(0.79±0.04) nmol/ml both in plasma and BALF;the SOD activities were increased from (123.30±20. 39) U/ml, (26.43±2.22) U/ml to (277.09± 11.66) U/ml,(37.10± 2.49) U/ml as well; the GSH-Px activities were increased from (1796.63 ±81. 12) U/ml, (598.24 ± 62.50) U/ml to (2151.54 ± 148.32) U/ml, ( 1788.44 ± 175.11 ) U/ml as well ( P < 0. 01 ). Conclusions Administration of pulse-activating injection could improve the lipid peroxidation damage caused by a-cute poisoning of PQ.

Phospholipase A_2 (PLA_2) inhibitor quinacrine was used to explore protective effect on multiple organ dysfunction (MOD) caused by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats. Gut I/R caused the increase of gut PLA_2 activity and induced endotoxemia and bacteriemia. Pretreatment with intravenous quinacrine 10mg?kg~(-1) attenuated bacteria and endotoxin translocation,markedly lowered the levels of thromboxane A_2 and prostacyclin I_2 in blood,and provided protection from the development of vital organs dysfunction. As a result,the survival rate in pretreatment group increased by 25%. The results demonstrate that gut I/R promotes gut barrier failure,then contributes to the development of MOD by allowing bacteria or endotoxin reaching the circulation. PLA_2 and PLA_2-dependent lipid mediators play an important role in the development of gut I/R injury and MOD. Intravenous quinacrine has protection against MOD resulting from gut I/R.

Objective To build the schema of combination between commercially available ultrasound contrast agent SonoVue and self-made liposomes,and determine its efficiency. Methods Microbubbles was labeled by carbocyanines dye DiI. The effect of DSPE-PEG-FITC labelling was determined by flow cytometer to evaluate the insertion efficiency of the amphipathic molecule DSPE-PEG(2000)Amine into lipid monomers shell. Aminated fluorescent liposomes were prepared by rotary evaporation and their size were determined by laser particle size analyzer. Liposomes and microbubbles were combined by two-step glutaraldehyde crosslinking. The impact of liposome concentration and DSPE-PEG (2000)Amine concentration on the construction efficiency of the complex of SonoVue conjugated to liposomes was determined by flow cytometer and multifunctional ELIASA respectively. Results The configuration of SonoVue microbubbles labeled by DiI and DSPE-PEG-FITC showed fine. The combination between liposomes and microbubbles was realized by glutaraldehyde crosslinking. The flow cytometer showed that 200 μl liposomes solution per 200 μl microbubbles suspension was the optimal proportion, with the peak positive rate as (87.80 ± 5.91)%. Multifunctional ELIASA showed that 150 μl DSPE-PEG (2000)Amine (100 μm) solution per 200 μl microbubbles suspension was the optimal proportion, with the peak carry efficiency as (83.41±2.21)%. Conclusions The amination of commercially available SonoVue is realized by the insertion of DSPE-PEG (2000) Amine molecule. Glutaraldehyde crosslinking the liposomes and microbubbles is feasible. Moreover, we can choose other active groups to modify the microbubbles and liposomes, construct more convenient methods with higher efficiency.
