ObjectiveTo study the changes of levels of α subunits of stimulatory (Gsα) and inhibitory guanine nucleotide binding protein (Giα) in newborn guinea pig (0 2 days old) myocardium undergoing global ischemic reperfusion, and influences on the changes by St.Thomas Ⅱ and cold blood cardioplegic solution.MethodsThirty newborn guinea pigs were randomly assigned to three groups. GroupⅠ ( n = 10): the newborn hearts suffered by hypothermic global ischemia; group Ⅱ( n =10): the newborn hearts arrested by St. Thomas Ⅱ , and group Ⅲ ( n = 10): the newborn hearts arrested by cold blood cardioplegic solution. Levels of Gsα and Giα were investigated with Western blot analysis.ResultsNo differences of levels of Gsα and Giα were found in three groups before ischemia ( P gt;0.05). The level of Gsα after ischemia was significantly decreased than before ischemia in groupⅠand group Ⅱ ( P lt; 0 01), whereas no pronounced changes in group Ⅲ ( P gt;0.05) were noted after ischemia. The level of Gsα in group Ⅲ was not significantly changed after reperfusion compared with before ischemia( P gt;0 05), and it was much higher than those in groupⅠand group Ⅱ ( P lt; 0 01). Level of Giα was found not markedly changed in group Ⅲ after reperfusion compared with that before ischemia, but was notable higher in groupⅠand group Ⅱ( P lt;0.01). ConclusionsSignificant decrease of level of Gsα, whereas marked increase of level of Giα are found in myocardium of newborn guinea pig undergoing hypothermic (20℃) ischemic reperfusion. No impact of St. Thomas Ⅱ on these changes is verified, but recovery to the level of Gsα and Giα before ischemia is achieved by cold blood cardioplegic solution after ischemia and reperfusion. Unbalance between Gsα and Giα is the one of the mechanisms of ischemic reperfusion injury for immature myocardium.
Objective To investigate the effect of cold ischemia on the development of transplant arteriosclerosis (TA) in rat aortic isografts. Methods Aorta grafts from SD and Wister rats were stored in a cold perfusion solution for 0.5 hours and 4 hours respectively before being orthotopically transplanted to Wister recipients. After observation times ranging from 15 to 60 days, the grafts were examined by using histological and electron microscopy techniques. Regional changes in the lumen, intima and media layers were measured by using an image analysis system. Results Partial intima thickings were showed in control isografts at 60 day posttransplantation. Pronounced intima thickings were seen in experimental isografts and control allografts at the same time. The thicking neointimas consist mainly of monocyte/macrophage and smooth muscle cells (SMC). The broken interior elastic lamina (IEL) and necrosis SMC in media were detected in allogenic grafts. Conclusion The damage due to prolonged cold ischemia time is sufficient to cause pronouced graft arteriosclerosis.
Objective To investigate the maximum tolerance limit of rats to hepatic inflow occlusion with portal vein blood bypss (PBB) in normothermia. Methods First. A new animal model was established, the animal survival rate were calculated following 7 days of reperfusion after hepatic inflow occlusion of 30, 60, 90, 100, 110, 120 min or portal triad clamping (PTC) of 30 min. And then, the hepatic energy metabolism (RCR, P/O, ATP, AKBR) was studied following 30, 90, 120 min of ischemia or 1, 6, and 24 hours of reperfusion after the ischemia. According to the reversibility of the hepatic motochondrial function injury and maximum as long as a period of liver warm ischemia of all animal postoperative 7 days survial, the safe limit of rat to hepatic inflow occlusion was evaluated. Results The survival rate on postoperative 7 days was one hundred percent subjected to 30, 60 and 90 min of hepatic inflow occlusion, and 50, 30, 20 percent in 100, 110, 120 min, respectively, the survival rate in rats with 30 min of portal triad champing was about 40 percent. The parameters of hepatic motochondrial function reflecting the degree of liver damage to ischemia showed significantly different as compared to sham group. The functional lesion was exacerbated during inital reperfusion, then was restored progressively in PBB-30 min and PBB-90 min groups, but was maintained low level in PBB-120 min and PTC-30 min groups.Conclusion The 90 minutes is the maximum limit of rats to hepatic inflow occlusion in normothermia.
Objective To study the efect of IH764-3 on ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rat liver. Methods Rats were divided into 3 groups, the control group was not subjected to ischemia and no treatment was given. I/R injury group was subjected to 40 minutes ischemia followed by reperfusion for 120 minutes. The IH7643 group (40mg/kg) was administred at ischemia and reperfusion. Results In the IH764-3 group, sereum levels of ALT, AST, AKP and γ-GT were significantly lower than those in the I/R group. Energy charge level recovery was significantly higher with IH7643 (P＜0.05), hepatic ultrastructure was better preserved with IH764-3. Conclusion IH764-3 may be useful in the treatment of hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury
Objective To observe the protective role of the ectogenesis zinc on the cells in rat flap with ischemia reperfusion injury and study the mechanisms. Methods A right low abdominal island flap was created in Wistar rats. Fortyeight rats were randomly divded into 3 groups (n=16):the control group, the ischemia reperfusion group and adding zinc ischemia reperfusion group.The content of malondialdehyde(MDA) and the activity of myeloperoxidase(MPO) were measured by thiobarbituric acid methods and colorimetry. The location of expression of MT was observed,and the image analysis was performed. The quantity of MT was represented by the integratial optical density. The ultrastructure changes of skin flap with ischemia reperfusion injury and the flap viability were observed. Results In the ischemia reperfusion injury flaps, the content of MDA and MPO show no statistically significant difference among the control group,IR group and the adding-zinc-IR group (P＞0.05). Compared with the control group at 1 h and 24 h of reperfusion, the level of MDA increased 62.2% and 136.4%(P＜0.01) in the IR group, which increased 11.3% and 33.2%(P＜0.01) in the adding-zinc-IR group. The activity of MPO increased 238.4% and 503.4%(P＜0.01)in the IR group when compared with the control group, and increased 17.9%and 24.1%(P＜0.05) when compared with the adding-zinc-IR group. In the ischemia reperfusion injury falps, the content of MT in the control group and the IR group is too minimal to measure. While the content ofMT in the adding-zinc-IR group is 45.30±7.60. At 1 h and 24 h of reperfusiion, the content of MT in the adding-zinc-IR group increased 41.5% and 44.9% (P＜0.01) compared with the IR group, and increased 119.9% and 234.6% (P＜0.01) compared with the control group. The flap viability is 100% in the control group, 19.65%±4.38% in the IR group, and 24.99%±5.12% in the adding-zinc-IR group, which increased 27.2% (P＜0.05) compared with IR group. Conclusion Many kinds of cells in skin flap with ischemiareperfusion injury can be protected by ectogenesis zinc and the flap viability increases significantly.
Objective To investigate the pathological changes in the neuromuscular junction during ischemiareperfusion(IR) in the skeletal muscle. Methods Forty-eight healthy adult Wistar rats (24 male, 24 female) were equally randomised into the following 6 groups: Group A (control group): no ischemiareperfusion; Group B: ischemia by clamping the blood vessels of the right hindlimb for 3 hours; Group C: ischemia by clamping for 4.5 hours;Group D: ischemia by the clamping for 4.5 hours followed by reperfusion for 1.5hours; Group E: ischemia for 4.5 hours followed by reperfusion for 24 hours; and Group F: ischemia for 4.5 hours followed by reperfusion for 2 weeks. Then, the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle flap model was applied to the right hindlimb of each rat. The medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle was isolated completely,leaving only the major vascular pedicle, nerve and tendons intact.The proximal and distal ends (tendons) were ligated while the vessel pedicle was clamped. And then, Parameters of the muscle (performance,contraction index,colour,edema,bleeding) were observed. The muscle harvested was stained with gold chloride(AuCl3) and the enzymhistochemistry assay (succinate dehydrogenase combined with acetylcholine esterase) was performed. Morphology and configuration of the neuromuscular junction were observed during the ischemiareperfusion injury by means of the AuCl-3 staining. The result of the enzymhistochemical reactions was quantitatively analyzed with the computer imageanalysis system. And then, additional 5 rats were prepared for 3 different models identical with those in Groups A, C and E separately. The specimens were harvested from each rat and were stained with HE and AuCl-3, and they were examined under the light microscope. Results During the period of ischemia, the skeletal muscle of Group B showed the colour of purple and edema.The colour and edema became worse in Group ,while dysfunction of elasticity and contraction appeared obviously with plenty of dark red hemorrhagic effusion at the same time.After reperfusion,the color and edema of muscle in Group D became improved while the elasticity and function of contraction was not improved. Hemorrhagic effusion of Group D turned clearer and less than Group C.Group E was similar to Group D in these aspects of muscle except for much less hemorrhagic effusion. Skeletal muscle in Group F showed colour of red alternating with white, adhesion,contracture of muscle, exposure of necrotic yellow tissue and almost lost all its functions. The AuCl3 staining showed that during IR, necrosis of the myocytes was followed by degeneration of their neuromuscular junctions, and finally the nerve fibers attached to these neuromuscular junctions were disrupted like the withering of leaves. The enzymhistochemistry assay showed thatthere was no significant difference in the level of acetylcholine esterase between the ischemic group (Groups B and C) and the control group (Group A) (Pgt;0.05). However, the level of acetylcholine esterase in all the reperfused groups (Groups D, E and F) decreased significantly when compared with the control group（Group A）and the ischemic groups (Groups B and C) (Plt;0.01). Conclusion The distribution of the nerve fibers and the neuromuscular junctions in the mass of the muscles is almost like the shape of a tree. The neuromuscular junction seems to be more tolerant for ischemia than the myocyte. Survival ofthe neuromuscular junction depends on its myocytes alive. Therefore, an ischemiareperfusion injury will not be controlled unless an extensive debridement of the necrotic muscle is performed.

【Abstract】ObjectiveOn the basis of traditional transplantation model, a successful model of pancreaticoduodenal transplantation (PDT) were established in rats, which is the foundation of basic and clinical transplantation research. Methods We improved the technique of microoperation on donor and harvested high-quality graft. The dual cuff technique was applied to end-to-end anastomose proximal part of abdominal aorta and portal vein with left renal aorta and vein of recipient, and distal part of abdominal aorta was connected with Y-tube. External secretion was performed by duodenum stoma. The PDT model was finished without blocking systemic circulation and portal vein system. Random blood glucose levels and drainage were monitored postoperatively to evaluate the function of endocrine and ectocrine. Results Thirty operations were done. The total procedure of transplantation lasted 2 hours. Moreover the operation on recipient and the reconstruction of vessels took only (26±5) and (25±5) minutes, respectively. The success rate was elevated to 100%. The ectocrine function was restored within 2 hours after operation. Except for 3 cases of non-function graft because of thrombosis in cannula, the glucose level of the remaining recipients was reduced to normal level 6 h or 24 h after transplantation. The survival rate of graft function was 90% (27/30). Conclusion This model is finished without special equipment and can recover the endocrine function in advance. It is a simple and stable model, which might be used in research of the theoretical problems involved in clinical pancreas transplantation.
