Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2009;13(46):9129-9132
BACKGROUND:As an import training method,anaerobic interval training is widely applied.However,systematically studies regarding the effects of this training on free radical metabolism and antioxidant system are few.OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of anaerobic interval training on free radical metabolism in rats.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A randomized controlled animal experiment was performed at the laboratory of exercise physiology.Xuzhou Normal University from March to May 2008.MATERIALS:A total of 32 male SD rats,weighing 230-270 g,were randomly divided into four groups:sedentary control,interval training control,interval exercise immediate,and interval training immediate,with 8 animals in each group.METHODS:No training was performed in the sedentary control group.Rata in the interval training control and interval training immediate groups were run with speed of 26.8 m/min for 1 minute at the gradient of 10°,then 5 m/min at gradient of 0°,followed by 3 minutes rest,this process was kept for successive 20 times per day,5 days per week,for 6 weeks.Rats in the interval exercise immediate group were fun once at the last day of the 6~(th) week.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Rats were sacdficed under anesthesia after 6 weeks,the super oxide dimutese(SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GPX),catalase(CAT)and malonaldehyde(MDA)contents in skeletal muscle,myocardium and liver were tested.RESULTS:①After 6-week training,SOD activity in each tissues of the training groups were obviously greater than that of the interval exercise immediate group(P<0.05).②Compared to the sedentary control group,the GPX activity in quadriceps femons and myocardium of the interval exercise immediate group was dramatically smaller(P<0.05),but the MDA content was greater (P<0.05),with higher CAT levels in quadnceps femoris and livers(P<0.05).③Compared to the interval exercise immediate group,the GPX activity of the interval training immediate group was notably higher in the quaddceps femofis and myocardium (P<0.05),MDA level was lower,and the CAT levels increased remarkably in quaddceps femoris and myocardium(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Anaerobic interval training can induce adaptive change of antioxidant enzymes and enhance the ability of cleaning free radical.

Hilar cholangiocarcinoma is a common bile duct cancer.The radical resection rate of end-stage malignancies reported in literature is about 20%.Half of the patients have lost the chance of operation at the time of care,while the average survival time in the patients who can not be operated is about six months.Therefore,for most patients,looking for a palliative treatment which can prolong the survival time is particularly important.From June 2013 to June 2014,our hospital applied iodine-125 brachytherapy,to treat 7 patients with unresectable hilar cholangio carcinoma.All the patients are still alive,the average survival time of 7 patients is 5.2 months up to now,with median survival time being 7.8 months,and longest survival time being 12 months.With good outcomes,few complications,as well as significantly prolonged survival time,iodine125 brachytherapy is regarded with broad clinical applications.

Objectives To investigate the effects of plasma from the patients with preeclampsia on proliferation and apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC),and to explore the relationship between cell damage and lysophosphatidic acid(LPA)receptors.Methods Sixty patients with preeclampsia were recruited from October 2011 to June 2012 in the First Affilated Hospital of Zhengzhou University.Among them,thirty cases were defined as the mild preeclampsia group and thirty cases were defined as the severe preeclampsia group.The other thirty healthy pregnant women were recruited in the healthy pregnant women group.The levels of plasma LPA in the three groups were measured.The HUVEC were cultured in vitro with plasma from the three groups,and a blank control group was set up as well.Proliferation and apoptosis of HUVEC were measured by MTT assay and flow cytometry.Immunohistochemistry of biotin streptomyces protein peroxidase(SP)method was used to measure the protein expression level of Edg 2,4,7.Results(1)The plasma LPA levels in the healthy pregnant woman group,mild preeclampsia group and severe preeclampsia group were(3.38 ± 2.08)μmol/L,(6.12 ± 0.22)μmol/L,(9.10 ± 0.17)μmol/L,respectively.The plasma levels of LPA in patients with preeclampsia were significantly higher than that in the healthy pregnant women(P < 0.01).(2)The proliferation rate of HUVEC in the mild and severe preeclampsia groups [(65.2 ± 2.7)% and(51.9 ± 2.8)%] were significantly lower than that in the healthy pregnant women group and the control group [(84.3 ± 3.1)% and(100.0 ± 0.0)%,P < 0.01].(3)The early apoptosis rate,middle-late apoptosis rate and total apoptosis rate of HUVEC in the mild and severe preeclampsia groups [total apoptosis rate were(30.4 ±2.0)% and(43.4 ±2.5)%] were significantly higher than those in the healthy pregnant women group and the control group [total apoptosis rate were(18.6 ± 1.6)% and(8.0 ± 1.5)%,P < 0.01].(4)The expression positive rates of Edg 2,4,7 proteins in the four groups were as following:mild preeclampsia group 83%,80% and 73%;severe preeclampsia group 97%,93% and 90%;healthy pregnant women group 40%,40% and 37%,and the control group 10%,10% and 7% respectively.The positive rates of HUVEC in the mild and severe preeclampsia groups were significantly higher than those in the healthy pregnant women group and the control group(P < 0.01).Conclusions The plasma of patients with preeclampsia could inhibit proliferation and promote apoptosis of HUVEC,and induce the expression of Edg 2,4,7 proteins.It suggested that the increase of lysophosphatidic acid in plasma could be one of the reasons of endothelial cell damage in patients with preeclampsia.
