AIM: To demonstrate the changes of activity and electron microscopic enzyme cytochemistry staining of H+-K+-ATPase of gastric parietal cells under stress in rats. METHODS: Twenty-four male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, stress group and stress+omeprazole (OM) group. Water immersion-restraint stress (WRS) model in SD rats was performed. The ulcer index (UI) of gastric mucosa and H+-K+-ATPase activity of gastric parietal cells were measured. The changes of ultrastructure and electron microscopic enzyme cytochemistry staining of parietal cells were observed under transmission electron microscope (TEM). RESULTS: Compared with control group, the UI of gastric mucosa and H+-K+-ATPase activity of gastric parietal cells increased (P<0.01 and P<0.05) in stress group. In stress+OM group, both UI and H+-K+-ATPase activity decreased (P<0.01) compared with stress group. Parietal cells were in a resting state in control group, and became active in stress group, where plenty of intracellular canaliculi were observed under the TEM. In stress+OM group, the dilated intracellular canaliculi lined with rare microvilli were founded. Enzyme cytochemistry staining showed that there was little black punctate enzyme reactive product scatted in intracellular canaliculi and the apical plasma membrane of parietal cells in control group, and there were large amounts of black enzyme reactive product accumulated at the intracellular canaliculi in stress group. Scarcely deposition of enzyme reactive product in intracellular canaliculi was observed in stress+OM group. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that the H+-K+-ATPase activity of gastric parietal cells increases under WRS, and is in accordance with ultrastructure changes. These findings suggeste that gastric acid might be one of the most important factors that result in stress ulcer.  相似文献

AIM: To determine the effects of anisodamine (Ani) administered intraperitoneally on the gastric mucosal lesion induced by reserpine.METHODS:In reserpine-treated rats, gastric mucosal lesion, gastric acid secretion, gastric barrier mucus secretion, gastric contraction, gastric mucosal blood flow (GMBF), gastric mucosal nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity and nitric oxide (NO) content were examined.RESULTS:Ani in doses of 1,5 and 10 mg/kg significantly inhibited the formation of gastric lesions induced by reserpine, with the suppressive rate of 60.0%, 66.7% and 76.6%, respectively. Ani (10 mg/kg) significantly inhibited the secretion of gastric acid, but had no effect on the volume of gastric juice. Ani (10 mg/kg) significantly prompted the secretion of gastric barrier mucus. Our findings also showed that Ani (10 mg/kg) significantly suppressed the frequency and amplitude of gastric contraction. Ani (10 mg/kg) significantly prompted GMBF. In reserpine treated rats, gastric mucosal NOS activity and NO content were decreased and Ani (10 mg/kg) could inhibit the decrease in NOS activity and NO content.CONCLUSIONS:The protective effect of Ani may results in part from inhibiting gastric acid secretion, prompting gastric barrier mucus secretion, suppressing gastric contraction and improving GMBF. NO seems to play an important mediator role in the Ani protective mechanisms.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the preventive effects of Clostridium butyricum (C. butyricum) on the type of pylorus ligated gastric ulcer (GU) in mice and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: ICR mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: sham operation group, model group, C. butyricum pretreatment group and omeprazole pretreatment group. Gastric pyloric ligation was adopted to establish GU model in mice. The gastric juice was collected to measure the content of gastric free mucus, the pH of gastric juice and the activity of pepsin. The gastric tissues were collected for routine HE staining to observe the pathological changes. The content of glycogen was detected by PAS staining. The protein expression of Bax and Bcl-2 in the gastric mucosa was also assessed by immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: The HE and PAS staining showed that the C. butyricum pretreatment obviously attenuated the mucosa lesion induced by ligation. Compared with model group, the pH of gastric juice was significantly raised. The activity of pepsin fell off in C. butyricum group, which was lower than that in omeprazole group. In comparison with model group, the content of gastric free mucus was dramatically increased and PAS staining showed a significant rise in C. butyricum group, but not in omeprazole group. The protein expression of Bax was decreased and the protein expression of Bcl-2 was upgraded in C. butyricum group than those in model group. CONCLUSION: C. butyricum protects gastric mucosa against the challenge of pylorus ligation in mice and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting gastric acid secretion and the activation of pepsin, increasing the production of gastric free mucus, strengthening the expression of bcl-2 gene and inhibiting the expression of bax gene.  相似文献

AIM To investigate the expression of Wnt1 and LGR5 in gastric mucosa with stress ulcer after traumatic brain injury （TBI） in rats, and to study the relationship between Wnt1/LGR5 expression and stress ulcer after TBI. METHODS Healthy 7-week-old male SD rats （n=30） were randomly divided into 3 groups： sham operation （sham） group, mild TBI （mTBI） group, and severe TBI （sTBI） group. The mTBI and sTBI were induced by electronic cortical contusion impactor. Neurological severity score （NSS） was calculated 24 and 48 h after modeling. Mucosal blood flow in gastric fundus, greater curvature, pylorus and cardia of anesthetized rats 48 h after injury was measured by Doppler flowmeter. All rats were sacrificed, and their gastric tissues were harvested after 48 h and then stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The protein expression of Wnt1 and LGR5 was analyzed by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Compared with sham group, the NSS in mTBI group and sTBI group was significantly increased （P<0.01）. Compared with sham group, the gastric mucosal blood flow of the rats after TBI was significantly decreased （P<0.01）, and the decrease in sTBI group was more significant than that in mTBI group （P<0.05）. The protein expression of Wnt1 and LGR5 in mTBI group was significantly higher than that in sham group （P<0.05）, and that in sTBI group was significantly higher than that in mTBI group （P<0.05）. Normal glandular gastric tissue was observed, and no abnormal change was found in sham group, while the infiltration of inflammatory cells in gastric lamina propria, mucosa and submucosa was obvious in mTBI group and sTBI group. CONCLUSION Traumatic brain injury activates Wnt1 and LGR5 expression to induce inflammatory changes in gastric mucosa, and then induces stress ulcer. This results provides experimental basis for the pathogenesis and treatment of stress ulcer after trauma.  相似文献

AIM: To study the effect of hydrogen sulfide on wound healing of skin ulcer in diabetic rats.METHODS: Male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, including non-diabetic control(NDC) group, untreated diabetic control(UDC) group, and treated diabetic administration(TDA) group. Diabetic rats were induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ). After 1 week, wound healing model was prepared by making a round incision(2.0 cm in diameter) on the dorsal skin in full thickness. The rats from TDA group received 2% sodium bisulfide ointment on the skin ulcer wound, and the animals from UDC and NDC groups received control cream. After 21 d of treatment with sodium bisulfide, blood samples were collected for biochemical analysis, including prothrombin time(PT), thrombin time(TT), and fibrinogen(FIB) in plasma, as well as the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and the content of malondialdehyde(MDA) in the serum. White blood cells(WBC) and lymphocytes were also counted. Granulation tissues from the wound were processed for histological examination and Western blot analysis was used to detect heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α) expression.RESULTS: Compared with UDC group, sodium bisulfide treatment accelerated wound healing of skin ulcer(P<0.01), and increased the activity of SOD in serum(P<0.01) in the diabetic rats. The declined number of WBC and lymphocytes, prolonged PT and TT, and decreased FIB levels in rats treated with sodium bisulfied were also confirmed. Pathological section showed that there were inflammatory cell infiltration, and irregular and loose fibril alignment in the granulation tissue of rats from the UDC group, but there were regular fibril alignment and increased angiogenesis in the granulation tissue of rats from the TDA group(P<0.05). Furthermore, sodium bisulfide treatment raised HO-1 protein expression, and decreased TNF-α protein expression in the diabetic rats.CONCLUSION: Hydrogen sulfide accelerates the wound healing of skin ulcer in the rats with diabetes. The beneficial effect of H2S may be associated with formation of granulation, anti-inflammation, and antioxidation.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate whether glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor (GLP-1R) signaling pathway is involved in regulating the effects of exogenous γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in hypothalamic nucleus accumbens (NAc) on discharge activity of gastric distension (GD) sensitive neurons, gastric motility and gastric acid secretion in rats. METHODS:Fluorescence immunohistochemistry was used to observe the expression of GABA-A receptor (GABA-AR) and GLP-1R in rat NAc. The single-cell discharge recording experiment was used to observe the effects of GABA, GLP-1 and their receptor antagonists on the excitability of GD neurons in rat NAc. Implantation of cannula in rat NAc and injection of GLP-1, GLP-1R antagonist exendin 9-39 (Ex9) and GABA-AR antagonist bicuculline (BIC) were performed to investigate the changes of gastric motility and gastric acid secretion in the rats. RESULTS:GABA-AR and GLP-1R immunoreactive positive neurons coexisted in rat NAc. GABA inhibited the discharge activity of GD neurons in NAc, but this inhibitory effect was antagonized by BIC and partially blocked by Ex9. Microinjection of GABA into rat NAc promoted gastric motility and gastric acid secretion, which was antagonized by BIC and partially blocked by Ex9. CONCLUSION:Exogenous GABA in NAc may be involved in the regulation of gastric motility, gastric acid secretion and GD neuron excitability in the rats through GABA-AR signaling pathway. The promotion of GABA-AR signaling pathway is partially inhibited by GLP-1R signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the changes of oxidative stress in the stomach tissues and their roles in gastric motility and interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in diabetic rats. METHODS: Thirty-eight SD rats (8-week-old, male) were intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin (STZ). Diabetes was successfully induced in 36 of them. The diabetes rats were randomly divided into untreated diabetes group and treated diabetes group. Eighteen healthy SD rats (8-week-old, male) served as controls. The body weight and the levels of blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin were measured. At the end of week 1 and week 10, 9 rats were sacrificed in each group. The gastric emptying rate and the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA),superoxide dismutase (SOD), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), tyrosine kinase receptor c-Kit and stem cell factor (SCF) in gastric smooth muscle were analyzed. The apoptosis of ICC in gastric tissues was detected by the methods of immunocytochemistry and TUNEL. RESULTS: Compared with control group, gastric motility and SOD activity in untreated diabetes group were significantly weakened, the levels of MDA and TNF-α increased, the levels of c-Kit and SCF decreased, and apoptosis of ICC enhanced. In treated diabetes group, the oxidative stress level was attenuated, antioxidant capacity was enhanced, the levels of c-Kit and SCF were significantly increased, and the ICC apoptosis was reduced. Gastric motility was significantly improved after antioxidant therapy. CONCLUSION: Hyperglycemia affects the expression of antioxidant enzymes in the stomachs of diabetic rats. Oxidative stress is caused by hyperglycemia and is an important factor in the etiology of gastric motility dysfunction in diabetic rats, which may be correlated with the augmentation of ICC apoptosis resulting from oxidative stress-induced c-Kit/SCF damage.  相似文献

AIM:To discuss the effects of cumin total flavonoids on experimental gastric ulcer and the mechanisms.METHODS:Three rat gastric ulcer models induced by pylorus ligation,ethanol or reserpine were selected.Based on these models,the gastric juice,pH value,ulcer index and suppressive rate were recorded to determine the inhibitory effects of cumin flavonoids on rat gastric ulcers.In addition,the concentrations of gastrin (GAS),prostaglandin E2(PGE2) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were detected to further uncover the mechanisms of these effects.RESULTS:Cumin flavonoids exhibited significant anti-gastric ulcer effects on the three models.Low-dose treatment group (P<0.01) demonstrated higher inhibitory effects than high-dose group (P<0.01),and both low-and high-dose groups had lower effects than cimetidine treatment.Furthermore,cumin flavonoids were able to profoundly decrease the amount of gastric juice,free acidity,total acidity and output of total acid,and enhance the expression of PGE2 and EGF,but down-regulate the level of GAS in rat serum in a dose-dependent manner.CONCLUSION:Cumin flavonoids might inhibit experimental gastric ulcers by affecting and regulating the gastric juice,PEG2,EGF and GAS.  相似文献

AIM：To study the effect of ghrelin in septal nucleus on the gastric motility of the rats with diabetes mellitus (DM) and to investigate the regulation of ghrelin pathway between arcuate and septal nucleus nuclei on gastric motility. METHODS：Streptozotocin was injected intraperitoneally to establish a DM rat model. Fluorescence immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR were used to detect the expression of ghrelin receptor GHS-R1a. The gastric motility was evaluated by implantation of a force transducer on the surface of rats stomachs and the motility index was also calculated. The neural connections between arcuate and septal nuclei were analyzed by the technique of fluorogold tracing. The neural control pathway of gastric motility was determined by central drug injection, nucleus lesion or nucleus electrical stimulation. RESULTS：The expression of GHS-R1a in the septal nucleus of DM rats was lower than that in normal rats (P<0.05). The amplitude and frequency of gastric motility in the DM rats were lower than those in the normal rats (P<0.05). The gastric motility of normal and DM rats were increased by injection of ghrelin into the septal nucleus in a dose-dependent manner. Seven days after injection of fluorogold into the septal nucleus, some neurons in arcuate nucleus were labeled by fluorogold and part of the labeled neurons were ghrelin immunopositive. No effect of nucleus lesion or nucleus electrical stimulation on the gastric motility in the normal rats was observed. In DM rats, the lesion of septal nucleus decreased the gastric motility (P<0.05). In the normal rats, the change of gastric motility caused by electrical stimulation in arcuate nucleus was not affected by the lesion of septal nucleus (P>0.05), while the change was attenuated in DM rats (P<0.05). The ghrelin receptor antagonist ［D-Lys-3］-GHRP-6 had no significant effect on the gastric motility induced by electrical stimulation in arcuate nucleus of the normal rats (P>0.05), but it reduced the change in the DM rats (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Ghrelin in septal nucleus and the ghrelinergic pathway between arcuate and septal nuclei play an important role in the modulation of gastric motility in DM rats.  相似文献

AIM: To examine the chemo-preventive effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ(PPARγ) ligand rosiglitazone (RSG) on a rat model of gastric carcinogenesis induced by chemical carcinogen N-methyl-N’-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). We also attempted to identify novel anti-cancer mechanisms of rosiglitazone.METHODS: Ninety male Wistar rats were randomly allocated into six groups: group A (control group); group B (MNNG group); group C, D and E (RSG group, given different concentrations of rosiglitazone). The treatment procedures were terminated at 40th week. Stomach was harvested and gastric carcinoma was verified by histology. The gastric cancer incidence in different groups was calculated. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the chemo-preventive effects of PPARγ ligand, we examine the gene expression profiles of MNNG induced gastric cancer and the rosiglitazone treated gastric cancer with Uniset Rat I Bioarray microarray.RESULTS: Incidence of gastric cancer in group A-E was 0% (0/10), 70% (14/20), 15% (3/20), 30% (6/20) and 30% (6/20), respectively. Gastric cancer incidence in group C, D and E was significantly lower than that in group B (P<0.01). A gene that showed prominent responses in rosiglitazone treated group was identified. The hypertension-related, calcium-regulated gene (HCaRG) was significantly upregulated in rat gastric carcinoma in rosiglitazone treated group when compared to MNNG group. The expression of HCaRG was down-regulated in human gastric cancerous tissue. CONCLUSION: PPARγ ligand rosiglitazone has a potent chemo-preventive effect against gastric cancer development in rats. Upregulation of HCaRG may be one of the mechanisms underlying the chemo-preventive effect of rosiglitazone in gastric cancer.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of psychological stress on the development of periodontitis and the expression of periodontal hypoxia-inducible factor 1α(HIF-1α) in rats.METHODS: Forty-eight male Wistar rats(SPF grade) were randomly divided into 4 groups:(1) normal control group, i.e. naive rats;(2) experimental periodontitis group: the periodontitis model was induced by wrapping 3-0 silk ligature inoculated with putative periodontopathic bacteria around the left maxillary second molar of the rats;(3) stress group: the rats were treated with stress alone;(4) periodontits with stress group, the periodontitis model was induced as above,and the rats were treated with stress. The rats were sacrificed at week 1, 4, 6 and 8 after the ligature. The attachment losses(AL) were measured by home-made probe. The histological changes of periodontal tissues stained with hematoxylin and eosin(HE) were observed under microscope. The HIF-1α expression level in the periodontal epithelium was determined by immunohistochemistry that was used to evaluate the severity of hypoxia by measuring the average rate of HIF-1α-positive cells.RESULTS: No significant difference of AL between stress group and normal control group was observed(P>0.05).The AL and the average rate of HIF-1α-positive cells in periodontitis with stress group were significantly higher than those in experimental periodontitis group at time points of week 4,6 and 8 after ligature(both P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Psychological stress is one of the periodontitis inducing factors in the animal model. Psychological stress may aggravate periodontitis by decreasing tissue oxygenation in rats.  相似文献

AIM： To study the roles of ghrelin in the regulation of gastric distension (GD)-sensitive neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (Arc) and gastric motility in diabetes mellitus (DM) rats. METHODS：DM rat model was made by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. The effects of ghrelin and ［D-Lys3］-GHRP-6 on GD-sensitive neurons in the Arc of DM rats were observed by recording the extracellular potentials of single neurons, and the gastric motility was also monitored in vivo. The expression of ghrelin receptor,growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R), in Arc was studied by real-time PCR and immunofluorescene method. RESULTS：(1) Ninety-eight GD-sensitivity neurons were recorded in the Arc of normal rats, in which 64.3% were classified as GD-excitatory (GD-E) neurons and 35.7% were GD-inhibitory (GD-I) neurons. Microinjection of ghrelin excited 73.0% of the 63 GD-E neurons and the discharge frequency significantly increased as compared with the neurons treated with saline. Ghrelin inhibited 60.0% of the 35 GD-I neurons and the discharge frequency was significantly reduced (P<0.01). The effect of ghrelin was blocked by the antagonist of ghrelin ［D-Lys3］-GHRP-6. (2) Sixty-six GD-sensitive neurons were recorded in the Arc of diabetes rats, in which 64.3% were GD-E neurons, and 35.7% were GD-I neurons. Microinjection of ghrelin excited 35.1% of the GD-E neurons and the discharge frequency significantly increased as compared with the neurons treated with saline. Ghrelin inhibited 21 of the 29 GD-I neurons (72.4%) and the discharge frequency was significantly reduced. Compared with normal control group, the ratio of GD-E and GD-I neurons in diabetic rat Arc GD-sensitive neurons was not significantly changed. However, the ratio of GD-E neurons treated with ghrelin was significantly decreased, and the average increase rate of discharge frequency was significantly decreased. Ghrelin did not change GD-I neurons rejection ratio and discharge frequency average reduction rate. (3) Microinjection of ghrelin into the Arc significantly promoted gastric motility in normal and DM rats, and a significant dose-dependent manner was observed. However, the promotion effect of ghrelin on gastric motility in normal rats was stronger than that in DM rats, and the effect was completely blocked by ［D-Lys3］-GHRP-6. (4) The mRNA expression of GHS-R1a in the hypothalamic Arc of diabetic rats significantly reduced as compared with the normal control rats. The protein level of GHS-R1a in the hypothalamic Arc was also significantly reduced in DM rats. CONCLUSION：Ghrelin regulates the activity of GD-sensitive neurons in hippocampus Arc of diabetic rats by the action on ghrelin receptor.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) adjuvant treatment on enhancing the antitumor effect of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) against gastric cancer. METHODS: The gastric cancer BGC-823 cells were divided into control group, DHA group, 5-FU group, 5-FU+DHA group and 5-FU+DHA+SIRT1 plasmid group. The viability of BGC-823 cells treated with DHA and 5-FU was measured by MTT assay. The expression of SIRT1 and NADPH oxidase, activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3, and phosphorylation of ASK1 and JNK in the BGC-823 cells treated with DHA and 5-FU were determined by Western blot. The production of ROS and the apoptosis of the BGC-823 cells treated with DHA and 5-FU were analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS: Dihydroartemisinin significantly inhibited the expression of SIRT1 and increased NADPH oxidase protein level (P<0.05). DHA increased the sensitivity of BGC-823 cells to 5-FU, thus decreasing the IC50 of 5-FU to the gastric cancer cells. However, transfection with SIRT1 plasmid decreased the cytotoxicity of DHA and 5-FU co-treatment to the BGC-823 cells. DHA promoted the production of ROS and phosphorylation of ASK1 and JNK induced by 5-FU in the BGC-823 cells (P<0.05). However, ROS scavenger N-acetylcysteine (NAC) or JNK specific inhibitor SP600125 inhibited the cell death and activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3 induced by DHA and 5-FU co-treatment (P<0.05). In addition, NAC significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of JNK in the BGC-823 cells co-treated with DHA and 5-FU. However, treatment with SP600125 did not influence the ROS production in the BGC-823 cells, indicating that JNK was the downstream target of ROS pathway. CONCLUSION: Combination of DHA with 5-FU induces caspase-dependent apoptosis in gastric cancer cells through the SIRT1/NADPH oxidase/ROS/JNK signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of insulin on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) proliferation and to evaluate the intracellular signaling pathways involved.METHODS: VSMCs separated from Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this study. The proliferation of VSMCs induced by insulin was assayed by ［3H］-thymidin incorporation. The protein expression and activity of p-ERK1/2 were determined by immunblot and ［γ-32P］ATP incorporation.RESULTS: Insulin induced cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. The proliferative effect of insulin on VSMCs was inhibited partly by LY294002 (48.8%), an inhibitor of PI-3 kinase, and the ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059 (43.6%), respectively. Moreover, phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and activity of ERK1/2 induced by insulin were also inhibited partly by LY294002.CONCLUSION: PI-3 kinase and ERK1/2 are involved in insulin induced VSMCs proliferation.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the changes in nNOS and iNOS expression of hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neurons and NO2-/NO3- level of hippocampal homogenate of rats induced by stress, and to explore the effect of phenytoin on them. METHODS: Rats were subjected to forced-swimming stress, phenytoin was administered(ip) at 30 min before stress. Using the immunohistochemistry and the computerized image technique, the expression levels of nNOS and iNOS of rat hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neurons were assayed quantitatively, and the NO2-/NO3- level of hippocampal homogenate was also measured using nitric acid deoxidize enzyme method. RESULTS: The nNOS average grey degree of hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neurons was significantly lower in stress group (155.42±3.77)than that in control group(164.54±4.62)and in stress plus phenytoin group(164.27±2.55)(P<0.01); The iNOS relative sectional area proportion of hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neuron was significantly larger in stress group(5.87%±2.90%) than that in control group (0.90％±0.89%) and in strers plus phenytoin groups (0.90%±0.88%)(P<0.01); The NO2-/NO3- level of hippocampal homogenate was significantly higher in stress group(42.75 umol/L±14.49 umol/L)than that in control group(21.23 umol/L±6.99 umol/L)and in stress plus phenytoin group(18.40 umol/L±8.11 umol/L)(P<0.01). CONCLUSION: It is suggested that the stress could induce nNOS and iNOS expression in CA3 pyramidal neurons and excessive production of NO in hippocampus of rats, which could be inhibited by phenytoin.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the effect of allicin on hippocampal neuronal apoptosis induced by global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion and its mechanisms. METHODS: Wistar rats were subjected to 15 min global cerebral ischemia followed by 72 h reperfusion. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to evaluate the rate of hippocampal neuronal apoptosis and colorimetric method was used for the measurement of nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA) contents and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in hippocampal tissue. RESULTS: Neuronal apoptotic rate, nitric oxide and malondialdehyde contents in hippocampal tissues of rats in I-R group were significantly higher than those in sham group. However, superoxide dismutase activity in hippocampal tissues of rats in I-R group was obviously lower than that in sham group. Allicin pretreatment inhibited the above changes in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSION: Allicin hihibits hippocampal neuronal apoptosis induced by global ischemia-reperfusion insult through anti-oxidation. The anti-oxidation action of allicin may be one of the mechanisms of inhibitory effects on hippocampal neuronal apoptosis.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of Astragalus polysacharin(APS) on human fibroblast and human umbilical vein endothelia cell (HUVEC) proliferation, as well as its acts on adhesion between white cells and HUVECs. METHODS: Human fibroblasts from distal and proximal skin away the ulcer were cultured as normal fibroblasts(NF) and wounded fibroblasts(WF). MTT assay was used for detecting cell proliferation, Rose Bengal staining and fluorescence immunohistology assay were used for examining the adhesion of human polymorpho-nuclear cell(PMN) and TPH-1 to HUVECs. RESULTS: 2.44-156 mg/L APS promoted WF proliferation, and 2.44-39 mg/L APS also promoted NF proliferation, but it did not show any proliferating effect on HUVECs. APS inhibited the adhesion of PMN or TPH-1 to HUVECs induced by tumor necrosis factor(TNF). At 25-100 mg/L, it also inhibited both VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 expression in HUVECs induced by TNF. Treatment with APS for 12 h also inhibited CD44 expression in HUVECs. CONCLUSION: APS shows mitogenic activity on both human normal and wounded fibroblasts. It also exerts anti-inflammation effects by inhibiting adhesion molecule expression and adhesion of white cells to HUVECs.  相似文献

AIM: To study the relationship between nitric oxide (NO) and gastric mucosal injury induced by reserpine in rats. METHODS: Sixteen healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group and experimental group (n=8). NO contents and malondialdehyde(MDA) contents in plasma, gastric mucosa of the rats were respectively determined with Cadmium-reduct plus Greiss and TBA; nitric oxide synthase in gastric walls of the rats were observed using NADPH-diaphorase histochemistry and quantitatively measured with image analyzer. RESULTS: The NO contents in both plasma and gastric mucosa of experimental group were significantly lower than that in control group (P＜0.01),but their MDA contents were both higher than that in control group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);the densities and A values of nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-positive nerve-cells and nerve fibers in gastric walls of experimental group were all obviously lower than that in control group (P＜0.05,P＜0.01). CONCLUSION: The mechanism of the reserpine-induced gastric mucosal injury in rats might be related to NO insufficiency arisen from the inhibition of NOS activity in NANC nerves in gastric wall,which might weaken the protection to gastric mucosa.  相似文献
