[Objective]To investigate the protective effects of rhEPO on neuromotor function and apoptosis of neural cell,after it was peritoneally injected at different time in rats with traumatic spinal cord injury(SCI).[Method]A total of 48 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats weighting 270 ?10 g were randomly divided into four groups.Rats in normal group(n=6)and sham group(n=6)underwent laminectomy producure only.In control group,rats(n=18)received normal saline epidurally at 1,6 and 24 hours after injury.Treatment group(n=18)received 5000 iu/kg body weight of recombinant humane erythropoietin administered epidurally at 1,6 and 24 hours after injury.SCI was induced with 70g/cm impact according to the improved Allen method.Behavioral evaluation of the rats was made 48 hours after trauma using the Basso,Beattie,and Bresnahan(BBB)scoring system and Rivlin's tiltboard experiment.Injured spinal cord tissue cell apoptosis was examined by the terminal deoxynucleotidal transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end abeling(TUNEL)reaction at 48 hour.Fasl and Caspase-3 expression was determined by immunohistochemical analysis at 48 hours after injury.The results were observed by light microscope and analyzed by SPSS statistics software.[Result]Compared to the control group,neuromotor function was significantly improved at 1,6,and 24 hours after injury in the experiment group.The indexes of neural cell decreased significantly(P

Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2000;0(11):-
AIM:To observe the effect of GDP on uncoupling proteins(UCPs) activity and the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation in hypoxic exposed rat brain mitochondria.METHODS: Adult SD rats were randomly divided into three groups (control, acute hypoxia and chronic hypoxia groups). The animals were placed into a hypobaric chamber simulated 5 000 m high altitude for 0, 3 and 30 d, respectively. The mitochondria from rat brain were isolated by centrifugation. The activity of UCPs was detected by the method of [H3]-GTP binding with UCPs specifically. The maximal binding content (Bmax) and the dissociation constant (Kd) were determined by Scatchard plot. The mitochondrial potential was measured by rhodamine 123 method. Oxidative respiratory consumption was measured by Clark electrode. The experiments were conducted under the conditions with or without GDP (1 mmol/L), respectively. RESULTS: For exposed to hypoxia, Bmax and the oxidative consumption of uncoupling respiration were increased. Kd, MMP and RCR were decreased. UCPs activity was inhibited by GDP in three groups. Kd was increased 61.01%, 83.13% and 71.52% and Bmax was decreased 23.18%, 35.20% and 33.38%, respectively. The values in the acute hypoxic group were changed markedly. The sensitivity of UCPs to GDP was elevated significantly by hypoxia. With the reducing of UCPs activity, oxidative consumption of uncoupling respiration was decreased whereas RCR and MMP were increased. The results elucidated increase in the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation.CONCLUSION: GDP increases the mitochondrial membrane potential and decreases the oxygen consumption of uncoupling respiration in hypoxic exposed rat brain mitochondria by inhibiting UCPs activity. The results suggest that the change in UCPs activity is one of the factors of mitochondrial dysfunction in oxidative phosphorylation induced by hypoxia.

Objective To discuss the issue of the limb salvage versus the amputation of serious lower limb injury. Methods The history, the age, the clinical presentation, the treatment time and method of the 72 severe open fractures of the lower limb were studied.

Journal of Third Military Medical University 1988;0(05):-
Objective To investigate effect of guanosine diphosphate (GDP) on the mitochondrial respiratory oxygen consumption and the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) of rat brain and explore the relationship of the change of uncoupling proteins (UCPS) activity with the oxygen consumption and MMP. Methods The mitochondria of rat brain were isolated by centrifugation. Mitochondria oxidative respiratory consumption was measured by Clark electrode after the treatment of GDP at different concentrations so as to calculate mitochondrial state 3 respiration (ST3), mitochondrial state 4 respiration (ST4), respiratory control rate (RCR), and the rate of oxidative phosphorylation (OPR). MMP was detected by Rhodamine 123 method at the different concentrations of GDP. Results With the increase of GDP concentration form 0 to 1.0 mmol/L, the values of ST3, ST4 and OPR were reduced while RCR was elevated. But when the concentration increased to 1.4 mmol/L, the former 3 indexes begun to increase while the later declined. When the GDP concentration reached to 1 mmol/L, the inhibitory rate was only 35.1%, 51.3%, 14.2% to ST3, ST4 and OPR respectively, while RCR was increased to 133.2%. No matter the concentration was over 1 mmol/L or under 1 mmol/L, the ability of inhibition was attenuated. MMP reached to the highest point when GDP exerted the highest inhibitory rate on mitochondrial respiratory oxygen consumption. Conclusion GDP, an inhibitor of UCPS, can regulate the respiratory oxygen consumption and MMP of the isolated rat brain mitochondrial directly in a dose-effect fashion. The change of UCPS activity can affect the respiratory oxygen consumption and MMP.

Objective The activity and cyclooxygenase (COX-2) protein expression of colorectal adenoc arcinoma cell treated by deoxycholic acids (DCA) were examined in order to find out the carcinogenesis mechanism of DCA. Methods The proliferation of colorectal cancer cells (SW 1116) was detected by MTT metho d . COX-2 protein expression was measured by immunohistochemistry and Western blo t. Results DCA lower than 100 ?mol/L concentration can stimulate the growth of the adenoca rcinoma cells with effect reversible, while higher concentration shows the long -acting effect of inhibition. DCA of 10,50 and 100 ?mol/L concentration can up -regulate the expression of COX-2 in cells, while only 10 ?mol/L can maintain this effect long than 72 hours. The level of COX-2 protein treated by the late r two concentration descends after 48 hours. Conclusion DCA affects the proliferation of SW1116 in two sides. D CA concentration lower than 100 ?mol/L can promote COX-2 protein expression, w hich may be the mechanism of its carcinogenesis.
