Purpose To investigate the responsiveness of intracellular oxygen free radical and calcium on acrolein exposure and acrolein-induced cardiomyocytes apoptosis. Methods The viable adult mice cardiac myocytes were isolated by modified langendorff methods. We have examined the intracellular oxygen free radical and calcium concentration using DCF and Fura-2 AM, and the cardiomyocytes viability with WST assay. Are evaluated the DNA ladder pattern and cell apoptotic morphology on the adult mice cardiomyocytes that are exposed to acrolein. Results Our results show that acrolein can increase markedly the intracellular oxygen free radical and calcium concentration, that reach 12 fold and twofold respectively compared to the resting value when the cells were exposed to 1 μmol/L of acrolein. Moreover, the injury induced by acrolein in cardiac myocytes is concentration-dependent. The cardiomyocytes viability treated with 25, 50, 100 μmol/L of acrolein respectively were significantly lower compared to controls (P < 0.01 ). DNA ladder pattern and apoptotic morphological changes were found after being exposed to acrolein in the adult mice cardiomyocytes. Conclusion It is concluded that acrolein induces adult mice cardiomyocytes apoptosis, and it may be due to the increased intracellular oxygen free radicals and calcium concentration.

Tianjin Medical Journal 2015;43(5):537-541
Objective To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine preconditioning on nitric oxide (NO)/endothelin (ET)-1 imbalance and remote lung injury induced by lower limb ischemia-reperfusion (LIR). Methods Sixty patients who scheduled for unilateral lower extremity surgery matched American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Ⅰ-Ⅱ, were randomized into two groups:control group (R group, n=30) and dexmedetomidine preconditioning group (PD group, n=30). Lumbar plexus combined with sciatic nerve block was performed guided by a nerve stimulator in both groups. In group PD, dexmedetomidine intravenous infusion was started at a dose of 0.125 mL/kg (4 mg/L) for 10 minutes before using tourniquet, whereas group R received an equivalent volume of normal saline. Artery blood gas analysis, respiratory index and oxygenation index were measured, and NO, ET-1, interleukin-8 (IL-8) and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations were determined from plasma samples 10 minutes before tourniquet inflation (T0), 15 minutes (T1), 2 h (T2), 6 h (T3) and 24 h (T4) after tourniquet deflation. Results Compared with T0, RI was higher at T3 in group R and OI was lower at T2-4 (P<0.01). There were no significant differences in RI and OI of group PD between different time points (P>0.05). In R and PD groups, ET-1, IL-8 and MDA concentrations were increased, while NO level and NO/ET-1 ratio were significantly decreased after tourniquet deflation (P<0.05). Compared with group R, RI was lower and OI was higher at T3 in group PD (P<0.01). The levels of ET-1, IL-8, MDA, NO and NO/ET-1 ratio were significantly different after tourniquet deflation between group PD and group R (P<0.05). In group R, there was positive correlation between ET-1 and IL-8 levels with RI, and negative correlation between ET-1 and IL-8 levels with OI (P<0.01). There was positive correlation between NO level, NO/ET-1 ratio and RI level (P<0.01). Conclusion Lung function impairment induced by tourniquet application could be attenuated by dexmedetomidine preconditioning based on protecting endothelial cells and inhibiting lipid peroxidation.

Objective To summarize the clinical features,neuroimaging findings and pathological characteristics of demyelinating pseudotumors(DPT)of the brain,and to differentiate it from glioma. Methods The clinical features,neuroimaging findings and pathological characteristics of 35 patients with demyelinating pseudotumors of the brain were summarized,and the diagnosis for 18 of them was confirmed by bioscopy.Results Demyelinating pseudotumors affected adults of both sexes.The onset age of patients ranged from 9 to 69 years old.There was no definite antecedent,and the clinical syndromes were atypical. Neuroimaging scans showed multiple lesions in cerebral hemisphere,while the lesion in brain stem and spinal cord was single.The symptom and neuroimaging were not parallel.While with many or large lesions, the symptoms and signs were less.The lesions were not enhanced on CT scan,but appeared round or patch enhancement on MRI scan.Nine patients with DWI all appeared high density.The myelin basic protein was useful for diagnosis.The typical pathological changes were demyelination,perivascular inflammatory infiltration and reactive gliosis.The Creutzfeuldt cells were also found in these patients.The lesions might become small or disappear after treatment,but could not serve as the criterion to exclude brain neoplasm. Conclusions DPT is a distinct demyelination disease entity,which is confusable with brain neoplasm.It is difficult to distinguish DPT from brain neoplasm with the clinical features and conventional neuroimaging scan.But DWI scan is useful.The pathological changes accord with demyelination,and Creutzfeuldt cells are also found.It is important to apply corticosteroid treatment or biopsy rather than being anxious to excise the lesions.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies showed that donor systemic injection of B7/CD28 costimulatory blocker cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen 4 immunoglobulin (CTLA-4Ig) needed in T cell activation can markedly prolong the survival time of rat renal allografts, which, however, has limitations, such as high dose, extensive influence, poor specificity, systemic adverse reactions.OBJECTIVE: In order to improve the targeting of CTLA-4Ig, we modified the dendritic cells of donors and recipients in vitro with CTLA- 4Ig and observed the influence of two kinds of dendritic cells applied alone or together on the survival of renal allografis in rats.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The randomized controlled animal experiment was performed between April 2003 and July 2004 at Laboratory of Department of Urinary Surgery, Xinqiao Hospital, the Third Military Medical University, Chongqing, China.MATERIALS: Kidney donor: inbred Brown-Norway rats, kidney recipient: inbred Lewis rats, unrelated lymphocyte donor: Wistar rats.METHODS: Bone marrow derived dendritic cells of Lewis and Brown Norway rats were modified with CTLA- 4Ig gene recombinant adenovirus in vitro. Animal models of kidney transplantation were built with Brown Norway rats as donors while Lewis rats as recipients. The modified dendritic cells were injected into Lewis rats through femoral vein 24 hours before kidney transplantation alone (group 1 (n=8), donor dendritic cells; group 2 (n=8), recipient dendritic cells) and in combination (group 3 (n=8), donor and recipient dendritic cells). While the recipients without injection were used as control (group 4 (n=6)).MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Survival time of renal allografts; the reaction degrees of splenocytes to donor and unrelated antigen determined by MTT method on day 20 postoperation.RESULTS: Survival time of renal allografts in group 2 was not prolonged compared with group 4 while the survival time was markedly prolonged in group 3 (P < 0.01). The response of rat splenocytes to donor antigen in group 1 and group 3 was obviously lower than that in group 4 (P < 0.01), while the response to unrelated antigen was similar to group 4.CONCLUSION: Donor dendritic cells modified with CTLA- 4Ig can significantly prolonged survival time of rat renal allografts and the administration of both donor and recipient dendritic cells modified with CTLA- 4Ig can induce a longer survival time of renal allografts. Recipient dendritic cells cannot prolong the survival time of renal allografts.
