We assayed the levels of free radical and scavenger in the blood and lens of streptozotocin-in-duced diabetic SD rats, and found that the levels of lipoperoxide(LPO),MDA were higher than that of normal SD rats, and the total superoxygen dismutase (T-SOD), Cu-Zn-SOD) were lower that that of normal rats ( P lt;0.01 ). Simultaneous injection of streptozotocin and large dose of SOD could no avoid the occurence of diabetes mllitus, but did improve the metabolism of free radical in blood and lens. Hence, we think that large dose of SOD might be effective in preventing to development of diabetic cataract which is related to deterioration of free radical metabolism.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of different preoxygenation methods for emergency intubation in severe patients in intensive care unit (ICU). MethodsProspective randomized study was performed in the intensive care unit between June 2013 and January 2014. Forty patients were randomly divided into 4 groups:group A (control group, n=10), group B (bag-valve-mask preoxygenation group, n=10), group C (noninvasive ventilator-mask preoxygenation group, n=10), and group D (invasive ventilator-mask preoxygenation group, n=10). Standardized rapid sequence intubation was performed without preoxygenation in group A; preoxygenation was performed by using a bag-valve-mask rose pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) to 90% before a rapid sequence intubation in group B; preoxygenation was performed by using noninvasive ventilator through a face mask rose SpO2 to 90% before a rapid sequence intubation in group C; and preoxygenation was performed by using invasive ventilator through a face mask rose SpO2 to 90% before a rapid sequence intubation in group D. We recorded the time when SpO2 was more than or equal to 90% in group B, C, and D, and arterial blood gases and complications were observed. ResultsThere was no significant difference in the basic indexes before preoxygenation among the four groups (P>0.05). The time of the patients in group D and C was significantly lower than that of group B. The arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) and arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) in the group C and D were higher than those in group B after preoxygenation (P<0.05). After intubation, SpO2 in group B, C and D was significantly higher than that in group A (P<0.05). At the same time, SpO2 in group C and D was higher than that in group B (P<0.05); PaO2 and SaO2 in group C and D were higher than in those in group A and B (P<0.05); SaO2 in group D was higher than that in group B (P<0.05). The incidence of abdominal distension in group D was significantly lower than that of group B and C (P<0.05). ConclusionFor emergency tracheal intubation in critically ill patients in the ICU, preoxygenation is more effective than the rapid sequence intubation without preoxygenation in improving oxygenation indicators. Invasive ventilator-mask preoxygenation efficacy and safety are superior to other methods.
【Abstract】Objective To investigate therapeutic effect and mechanism of hyperbaric oxygen and ulinastatin respectively or combinatively used to treat acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP). Methods One hundred and twenty SD rats were divided into 6 groups randomly: group of normal control, group receiving sham operation, group of untreated acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP group), group of acute necrotizing pancreatitis treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO group), group of acute necrotizing pancreatitis treated with ulinastatin (ULT group), and group of acute necrotizing pancreatitis treated with combined hyperbaric oxygen and ulinastatin (HBO+ULT group). The rat model of acute necrotizing pancreatitis was established according to Aho HJ et al. Concentrations of amylase, TNFα, TXB2 and 6ketoPGF1α in blood were measured through ELISA or radioimmunoassay. Changes of pancreatic histopathology were investigated. SPSS 10.0 was used in statistical analysis. Results The concentrations of amylase, TNFα, TXB2 in the ANPtreated groups were significantly lower than those of ANP group (P<0.01) except for 6ketoPGF1α and the levels of amylase and TNFα of HBO group were strikingly higher than those in HBO+ULT group. Only the level of AMS was significantly different between ULT group and HBO+ULT group (P<0.01). Pancreas histopathological scores(HS) and CD8 counts of ANP group were significantly higher than those the other three group, but CD4 counts and CD4/CD8 ratio were on the contrary (P<0.05). HS of HBO and ULT were strikingly higher than those of HBO+ULT (P<0.05).Conclusion ①Hyperbaric oxygen or ulinastatin can effectively decrease the blood levels of enzymes and cytokines and improve the pancreatic immunity. ②Hyperbaric oxygen in combination with ulinastatin are more effective than either of them in the treatment of ANP.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular diseases, by leading to cell apoptosis and thus causing organic injuries. Anti-ROS therapy is highly anticipated, but currently, there is still no appropriate prevention method. Studies have shown that thioredoxin (Trx), being a kind of significant endogenous antioxidant system, has excellent antioxidant capacity. Promotion of Trx can reduce key biomolecules to eliminate ROS or regulate many signaling pathways, thus resisting ROS injuries, which may be a new anti-ROS strategy. Therefore, we reviewed the research progress of Trx in cardiac antioxidant therapy to discuss its potential and possibility to be a target for prevention of heart-related ROS injury.
Objective To investigate the effect of inducible nitric oxide synth ase (iNOS) or cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) on retinal neovascularization and its possible mechanism in oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) mouse model. Methods Retinal neovascularization was induced by oxygen with different concentration. The expression of iNOS, COX-2, matrix metalloproteinases 2 (MMP-2) and vascular end othelial growth factor (VEGF) in the retinae of experimental animals were analyzed by immunohistochemistry, realtime polymerase chain reaction and western blotting technologies. Results The inhibition of COX-2 or iNOS obviously attenuated retinal neovascularization and decreased the expression of VEGF and MMP-2. The iNOS inhibition decreased COX-2 expression, and vice versa. Conclusions COX-2 and iNOS may play a role in retinal neovascularization in OIR mouse model, which may act by regulating the expression of VEGF and MMP-2.
Objective To compare the effects of hypoxia-inducible drugs using deferoxamine (DFO) and accordion technique (AT) on activating the hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α)/vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway to promote bone regeneration and remodelling during consolidation phase of distraction osteogenesis (DO). Methods Forty-five specific-pathogen-free adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into the control group, DFO group, and AT group, with 15 rats in each group. All rats underwent osteotomy to establish a right femur DO model. Then, continuous distraction was started for 10 days after 5 days of latency in each group. During the consolidation phase after distraction, no intervention was performed in the control group; DFO was locally perfused into the distraction area in the DFO group starting at the 3rd week of consolidation phase; cyclic stress stimulation was given in the AT group starting at the 3rd week of consolidation phase. The general condition of rats in each group was observed. X-ray films were conducted at the end of the distraction phase and at the 2nd, 4th, and 6th weeks of the consolidation phase to observe the calcification in the distraction area. At the 4th and 6th weeks of the consolidation phase, peripheral blood was taken for ELISA detection (HIF-1α, VEGF, CD31, and Osterix), femoral specimens were harvested for gross observation, histological staining (HE staining), and immunohistochemical staining [HIF-1α, VEGF, osteopontin (OPN), osteocalcin (OCN)]. At the 6th week of the consolidation phase, Micro-CT was used to observe the new bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), trabecular number (Tb.N), and trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) in the distraction area, and biomechanical test (ultimate load, elastic modulus, energy to failure, and stiffness) to detect bone regeneration in the distraction area. Results The rats in all groups survived until the termination of the experiment. ELISA showed that the contents of HIF-1α, VEGF, CD31, and Osterix in the serum of the AT group were significantly higher than those of the DFO group and control group at the 4th and 6th weeks of the consolidation phase (P<0.05). General observation, X-ray films, Micro-CT, and biomechanical test showed that bone formation in the femoral distraction area was significantly better in the DFO group and AT group than in the control group, and complete recanalization of the medullary cavity was achieved in the AT group, and BMD, BV/TV, Tb.Sp, Tb.N, and Tb.Th, as well as ultimate load, elastic modulus, energy to failure, and stiffness in the distraction area, were better in the AT group than in the DFO group and control group, and the differences were significant (P<0.05). HE staining showed that trabecular bone formation and maturation in the distraction area were better in the AT group than in the DFO group and control group. Immunohistochemical staining showed that at the 4th week of consolidation phase, the expression levels of HIF-1α, VEGF, OCN, and OPN in the distraction area of the AT group were significantly higher than those of the DFO group and control group (P<0.05); however, at 6th week of consolidation phase, the above indicators were lower in the AT group than in the DFO group and control group, but there was no significant difference between groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Both continuous local perfusion of DFO in the distraction area and AT during the consolidation phase can activate the HIF-1α/VEGF signaling pathway. However, AT is more effective than local perfusion of DFO in promoting the process of angiogenesis, osteogenesis, and bone remodelling.
