BACKGROUND:Establishing an animal model of lung transplantation has operational significance to the development of clinical lung transplantation.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze and summarize animal selection, model establishment method, points to note and mechanism of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury and pulmonary immune rejection in the establishment of animal models as preclinical research of lung transplantation.
METHODS:A computer-based retrieval of CNKI and PubMed database from January 1982 to September 2013 was performed for literature related to lung transplantation. The key words were“lung transplantation, animal models, reperfusion injury”in English and Chinese, respectively. After eliminating duplicate and obsolete literature,50 articles were included for further analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Currently, animal experiments about al ogeneic lung transplantation are
common, which are of significance for clinical lung transplantation. Single lung transplantation is mainly seen in animal models. The commonly used lung transplantation models include single lung orthotopic murine model, rabbit orthotopic lung transplantation, canine and porcine orthotopic left lung transplantation, canine bilateral sequential lung pulmonary transplantation, autologous pig lung transplant model, rabbit lung ischemia-reperfusion model. Because the anatomical and physiological features are similar to humans, pigs are becoming the preferred choice for large animal experiments. Animal experiments and clinical studies have shown that lung ischemia-reperfusion injury in lung transplantation represents a biphasic pattern:early occurrence of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (24 hours after infusion) is related to lung donors, and the late occurrence mainly depends on receptors. Its pathophysiology runs through the whole process of donor lung resection, preservation and reperfusion as wel as postoperative management. Immune rejection is a complex immune response induced by identifying the donor cellsurface histocompatibility antigen, and activated T lymphocytes play a crucial role in the immune response in organ transplantation.

Object To investigate the structure, physicochemical properties and anticancer activity of three kind of glycyrrhizic acid aniline platinum complex compounds. Methods Using the FT IR methods, elementary analysis and X ray diffraction, the physicochemical properties of the tested drugs were determined; by means of MTT test the inhibitory effects of the drugs on human tumor cell growth were examined, with hematopoietic cell K 562 , melanoma cell LiBr and liver cancer cell 7721 as the model of anticancer activity. Results Experimental values of elemental analysis of three complex compounds tally with the theoretically calculative values. The infrared spectroscopy showed that the functional group location agreed with the structure. The X ray diffraction exhibited that this type of the compounds was monoclinic system. Conclusion The experimental results show that the anticancer activity of the test complex compounds is related to their concentration and ligands. Magnetic field treatment has significant influence on anticancer activity of this type of compounds.

BACKGROUND:Inflammatory cellactivation and the generation of oxygen free radicals are important factors of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury. Adding the drugs with anti-inflammation and antioxidant effects into the lung preservation solution used, can improve the protection fluid, and play a crucial role in the study of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury and protection of the function of transplanted lung. OBJECTIVE:To discussion the effect of harmine in canine model of pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:Twelve healthy hybrid dogs were randomly divided into two groups, with six rats in each group. A canine model of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury was established, and the protecting liquid was perfused with the clockwise irrigation method. Control group:low potassium dextran protective fluid;experimental group:low potassium dextran+harmine protective fluid. After 2 hours of ischemia, the left lung circulation was recovered. The left lung tissue and blood samples were col ected from two groups of animal models after reperfusion, and their cytokines levels and the lung wet/dry weight ratio were detected and calculated. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was col ected to observe the pathological indicators. The main pulmonary artery pressure, left and right pulmonary artery pressure were recorded by continuous monitoring. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were no statistical y significant differences in the interleukin-17, tumor necrosis factorαand endothelin 1 content in the left lung tissue and the blood between the two groups at 2 and 4 hours after reperfusion (P>0.05). After 4 hours of reperfusion in both groups, the neutrophil number, the number of lymphocytes, alveolar edema index, and vascular wal damage in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid showed no statistical y significant differences (P>0.05). Through the analysis of variance, the main pulmonary artery pressure, left pulmonary artery pressure and right pulmonary artery pressure also had no statistical significance between the two groups (P>0.05). By the analysis of cytokines, pathological indicators, lung wet/dry weight ratio, and pulmonary arterial pressure, harmine has no significant lung protection effect in canine model of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury.

AIM: RNAⅢ inhibiting peptide (RIP) has been previously proved to possess good histocompatibility and safety for preventing and curing staphylococcal infection, and this study evaluated histocompatibility of polyaiticglycolic acid/RIP (PLGA/RIP) sustained release microsphere. METHODS: The experiment was performed in the Orthopedic Institute, Pharmacologic Research Institute and Animal Experimental Center of General Hospital of Chinese PLA from October 2005 to October 2007.①Preparation of PLGA/RIP: The solid-phase synthesis (Fmoc) method was used to synthesize RIP from C end to N end, then the synthesized peptide was purified by the reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography, and composition was collected by means of ultraviolet absorption peak. The purified RIP was obtained after freezing and drying. Liquid-phase multiple emulsion method was used to synthesize PLGA/RIP microsphere of 50-70 ?m diameter.②Acute general toxicity test was studied in PLGA/RIP. Effect of PLGA/RIP on the cell proliferation was detected with cytotoxicity test by MTT method. Intramuscular implanting test was used to observe the irritation reaction of muscles by implantation materials. Sensitivity test was used to observe the sensitization of PLGA/RIP. Changes of animal's body temperature were determined with pyrogen test. RESULTS: ①Acute general toxicity test: Neither toxicosis reaction nor animal death was found after animals were injected with 100% and 50% eluents of PLGA/RIP peritoneally. Animal's body weight was not changed significantly.②Cytotoxiciity test by MTT method: The average proliferation rate of cell in two kinds of eluents exceeded 85% and cytotoxicity was graded in 1 rank, indicating no cytotoxicity.③Intramuscular implanting test: At 4 weeks after RIP and PLGA/RIP were implanted into the animals, there was not obvious synathresis, denaturation or necrosis in tissues. No inflammatory cell infiltration occurred around the materials. There had been the fibrous capsules around the materials.④Sensitivity test: Average primary irritation index of three groups were 0.38, 0.33 and 0.31 respectively. There was no significant difference among three groups.⑤Pyrogen test: Fervescence of each animal in the experiment was under 0.5 ℃, confirming that the materials had no pyrogenic characteristics. This was in coincidence with evaluation criterion of pyrogen test. CONCLUSION: PLGA/RIP has good histocompatibility and safety, without general toxic reaction, cytotoxicity, immunological rejection, hypersensitive response or pyrogenic characteristics.
