ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the expression and potential role of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleo-protein A2B1 (HNRNPA2B1) in mouse cerebellar development and the significance of HNRNPA2B1 in human medulloblastoma.@*Methods@#The data of HNRNPA2B1 RNA expression in mouse and human cerebella were obtained from databases. Western blot and immunohistochemical staining were performed to detect the protein level of HNRNPA2B1 in mouse cerebella at different ages. The expression level of HNRNPA2B1 in control human cerebellum and medulloblastoma was detected by immunohistochemical staining. m6A-IP-qPCR method was applied to confirm whether HNRNPA2B1 RNA in Daoy cells was modified with m6A.Western blot was used to detect the effect of MG132 treatment on the HNRNPA2B1 protein level in Daoy cells.@*Results@#The level of HNRNPA2B1 protein in postnatal mouse cerebella was higher than that in adult mouse cerebella, with weak HNRNPA2B1 staining in external granular cells while strong staining in mature Purkinje cells and molecular layer. Compared with control normal human cerebella, the RNA expression level of HNRNPA2B1 increased in medulloblastoma, while immunohistochemical staining showed that the mean intensity of HNRNPA2B1 decreased in medulloblastoma. HNRNPA2B1 RNA in medulloblastoma and Daoy cells was modified by m6A. The HNRNPA2B1 protein level in Daoy cells increased upon MG132 treatment.@*Conclusions@#HNRNPA2B1 is dynamically expressed during mouse cerebellar development. Compared with normal human cerebella, HNRNPA2B1 is significantly up-regulated at transcriptional level but obviously down-regulated at translational level in medulloblastoma. These results indicate that HNRNPA2B1 may be involved in cerebellar development process and medulloblastoma tumorigenesis. The m6A methylation in HNRNPA2B1 transcript and protein ubiquitin-proteasome pathway may account for the down-regulation of HNRNPA2B1 at protein level.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective    Pulmonary vein banding was used to establish a piglet model of pulmonary vein stenosis. We investigated the pathomorphological alterations of pulmonary veins in the model and compared it with the vascular tissue of recurrent stenosis after total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). Methods    Ten pigs of 6 weeks old were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups: 5 in a sham operation group and 5 in a pulmonary vein banding group. The operation had two stages, in which thoracotomies through intercostal space were done respectively on both sides. Biocompatible materials were applied around the pulmonary veins in the experimental group. The same method was used in the sham group. But the pulmonary veins were not banded. Six weeks after the operation, the pulmonary veins of the animals were harvested for hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunofluorescence staining to observe the pathological alterations of pulmonary veins. The proliferative tissues of patients with recurrent stenosis after TAPVC repair were collected and observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunofluorescence staining. Results    Both the sham operation group and the pulmonary vein banding group survived. But the pulmonary vein banding group had obvious clinical manifestations of pulmonary venous stenosis. Compared with the sham group, the pulmonary vein banding group showed intimal hyperplasia, decreased expression of endothelial marker and increased expression of mesenchymal markers, and co-expression of endothelial and mesenchymal markers in intimal cells. Human pathology also showed intimal hyperplasia and co-expression of endothelial and mesenchymal markers in intimal cells. Conclusion    The surgical pulmonary vein stenosis in piglets shows intimal hyperplasia and myofibroblasts, which was consistent with clinical pathology.

ABSTRACT

Objective Artificial atrial septum defect combining pulmonary artery banding to create a model of congenital heart defect with decreased pulmonary blood flow to explore the morphological changes of immature pulmonary vascular. Methods Choose twenty piglets with about one to two-month-old, which are exclusively for experiment used. The piglets were randomly divided into three groups: normal control group (group C, n = 6), Small incisions on the right chest, produced a transient reduction in pulmonary blood; low-medium pulmonary artery stenosis groups ( group T1, n = 7 ) : Did artificial room septostomy creation by self-dilators which were delivered into the surface of the right atrium and controlled Systolic trans pulmonary artery banding pressure (Trans-PABP) at pressure of 20 - 30 mmHg; severe pulmonary artery stenosis groups ( group T2, n = 7): T2 were the same surgical procedures with group T1 ,and controlled Trans-PABP ≥ 30 -50 mmHg. Monitored ultrasound after operation , carried out 64-slice computed tomography scanning after one month, to measure the proximal vessel diameter and TransPABP , after two month surgical exploration on the left chest. When the animals were sacrificed, the heart and lung tissue was cut to measure atrial septal defect, pulmonary artery and the banding diameter. By weihgt elastic fiber and van Cieson staining to observe the morphological pathological changes, three groups took lung tissue with right middle lobe lateral segment about 1.0 cm × 0.8 cm × 0.8cm at the end of surgery and 2-months after operation respectively. Results The models were all successfully in the survival animal of the two test groups. One pig died from tracheal intubation accident in the C group, there was one case died due to bowel obstruction in the T1 group, And there were two cases died result from acute right heart failure and chronic heart failure respectively in T2 group. 64-slice CT angiography showed that BD was significantly lower than the AOD in the two test groups, the proximal pulmonary vascular expansion result from stenosis, distal pulmonary vascular scarce. Histopathology showed that the pulmonary artery inside diameter of T1 and T2 was significantly higher than group C(P <0. 05,P < 0.01), and the NAPSC of two experimental groups were significantly lower than group C 2-month after operation( P <0.01).Conclusion This type of Piglet model is closer to clinical pathological and physiological ,64-slice spiral CT combined with lung histopathology observed for the evaluation of pulmonary vascular hypoplasia is a reliable method. Tunica media of pulmonary arterioles hypoplasia with the number reducing, with pulmonary artery banding increased,the degree of pulmonary arterioles hypoplasia gradually increased.

ABSTRACT

Research, development, and production of vaccines are still highly dependent on the use of animal models in the various evaluation steps. Despite this fact, there are strong interests and ongoing efforts to reduce the use of animals in vaccine development. Tuberculosis vaccine development is one important example of the complexities involved in the use of animal models for the production of new vaccines. This review summarises some of the general aspects related with the use of animals in vaccine research and production, as well as achievements and challenges towards the rational use of animals, particularly in the case of tuberculosis vaccine development.

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes. Actualmente el uso del animal de laboratorio en educación está siendo eliminado a nivel mundial y se buscan otras estrategias que permitan sustituirlo, pues no hay evidencia de que los estudiantes formados con métodos alternativos sean menos calificados. Objetivo. Contrastar la opinión de los estudiantes de farmacología, carrera de Farmacia Universidad Nacional de Colombia, sobre la implementación de un software interactivo en comparación con el montaje de órgano aislado. Material y métodos. Se comparó un recurso pedagógico usando animales en el laboratorio, con otro recurso basado en un software interactivo, para la práctica de “órgano aislado en intestino de roedor” por medio de la aplicación de una encuesta a estudiantes de séptimo semestre. Resultados. La opinión de los estudiantes, en una escala de uno a cinco, es que existen ventajas del montaje de órgano aislado sobre el software interactivo (p menor que 0,05) en cuanto al aporte de información (mediana 5:4 respectivamente), la integración de conocimientos (mediana 5:4) y la interpretación de datos inesperados (mediana 4:3). En cuanto a la claridad de la información obtenida la apreciación de los estudiantes muestra que no existen diferencias entre las dos alternativas (mediana 4). La utilización del animal involucra un costo ético (67 por ciento) que no se da con el empleo del software (27 por ciento). Finalmente es muy alta la aceptación del software interactivo como una ayuda eficaz para el aprendizaje de la farmacología (77 por ciento) y es notorio el interés de los estudiantes en que éstas alternativas sean implementadas en otras asignaturas (79 por ciento)...


Background. Nowadays the usage of lab animals in education is being eliminated all around the world. Other strategies are looked for to replace it because there is not any evidence that students trained using other alternatives are less qualified. Objective. The purpose of this research work was to contrast the opinion of the pharmacology students ofPharmacy, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, about the implementation of interactive software compared to theisolated tissue technique. Material and methods. This study compared teachingmaterial which uses lab animals to another one based on an interactive software for the isolated tissue of rodentintestine by means of a survey applied to the seven semester students.Results. Student’s opinion, in scale 1 to 5, is that there are advantages of the isolated tissue technique over theinteractive software (p<0,05) with respect to information contribution (median 5:4 respectively), knowledgeintegration (median 5:4) and unexpected results interpretation (median 4:3). In relation to obtainedinformation clarity, student’s opinion shows that there aren’t differences between the two alternatives (median4).

ABSTRACT

To examine the relationship between host survival and the type of immune response in different organs during disseminated candidiasis, the murine model of disseminated candidiasis was established by injection with Candida albicans via tail vein. The survival time was observed for up to 60 days. And the expression levels of cytokines in the spleen and kidney, including IFN-γ and IL-4, were determined with RT-PCR. Our results showed that in the spleen, both non-fatal and fatal inoculum caused a type Ⅱ immune response with steady expression levels of IFN-γ and the obviously increased levels of IL-4. While in the kidney, non-fatal inoculum induced a type Ⅰ immune response with the obviously increased levels of IFN-γ and the steady expression levels of IL-4. However, fatal inoculum induced a type Ⅱ immune response with a constant expression of IFN-γ and the evidently increased levels of IL-4. It is concluded that in disseminated candidiasis, host survival is associated with the type of immune responses in the kidney, but not in the spleen.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the pathogenicity of Alternaria alternata in ICR mice. Methods The cell suspension of Alternaria alternata was inoculated into testes and footpads of normal and immunocompromised ICR mice. H istopathologic examination and fungal culture were performed on 5th d, 7th d, 10 th d, 14th d, 21st d, 28th d, 35th d and 42nd d respectively after inoculation. Results The abscesses were developed at the inoculated sites in all normal and immunocompromised mice. The lesions in immunocompromised mice were more severe and persisted longer than those in normal mice. The abscesses in footpads mostl y disappeared within 14 days in normal mice but in 28 to 35 days in immunocompro mised mice. Alternaria alternata was isolated from the inoculated tissues in bot h groups. The histopathologic examination showed abscess and granulomas in which thick hyphae were observed. The necropsy revealed no disseminated infection of Alternaria alternate in all the test mice. Conclusion Alternaria alternata is a kind of opportunistic fungus with low virulence.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the application of a novel degradable biomaterial artificial chest wall as a chest wall prosthesis and explore the feasibility of its use in chest wall reconstruction. Methods A full-thickness chest wall defect of 10?10 cm was created in 8 dogs and then repaired with short chitin fiber reinforced polycaprolactone (PCL) plate. The situation of the implanted chest wall prosthesis and the progress of the regeneration of the chest wall tissue were observed dynamically postoperatively by X-ray, CT and histological examinations. Results No operative and peri-operative deaths were observed, no flail chest and paradoxical movement, no infection and severe complications occurred. Artificial chest wall prosthetic integrated tightly with chest wall ribs and muscle tissue around. New bone tissue obviously regenerated around both resection ends of the ribs in 4 months. The chest wall prosthesis was tightly enveloped by thick fibrous tissue in 6 months. Conclusion Degradable chitin fiber reinforced PCL biomaterial has excellent properties such as fine biocompatibility, optimal mechanical properties, fine flexibility and elasticity and translucent to X-rays. It is a prospective material for chest wall reconstruction.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the feasability of resorbable porcine-derived, xenogeneic aortas acelullar tissue matrix (ACTM) to be used as scaffold for cervical esophageal defect repair in a dog model. Methods Esophageal segmental defect measuring 5cm in length were created by surgical resection in 6 mature Chinese mongrel health dogs, then the defect were repaired with aorta acelullar tissue matrix (ACTM). The animals were kept alive for periods. The healing process was observed. Results There no death after perioperative period, one dog had anastomotic leakage. one dog was died of esophagus rupture as the result of esophageal dilation. Submucosal tissue regeneration and abundant neovascularization were found at 2 weeks. The squamous epithelium covered the most part of grafts surface in dogs killed after 4 weeks. 12 weeks later the squamous epithelium comprising 8 to 12 layers, both esophageal glands and muscle tissue were found. The graft material itself was mostly absorbed and could not be identified by naked eyes in the dogs killed after 12 weeks. Conclusion ACTM show promise as an ideal treatment option for esophageal repair.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the feasibility of the functional pulmonary lobectomy (FPLT) by studying the blood-gas and morphology of the FPLT model. Methods 18 healthy dogs were divided into three groups randomly: Group A (n=6): the target bronchus and lung bubbles were filled with emulsion of iodine oil and pingyangmycin(PYM)and then target bronchus was occluded with polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA).Group B (n=6): the target bronchus was only occluded with PMMA and Group C (n=6): the target pulmonary lobe was resected. Artery blood gas were measured at the time of pre-operation and post-operation immediately and then 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th week after operation respectively. Chest radiolography and histology and bacterial culture of tissue of target lung lobe were made after 4 weeks. Results There was a significant difference in artery blood-gas among 3 groups pre-operation compared with post-operation immediately (P0.05) compared with 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th week after operation. It showed atelectasis radiologically and fibrosis of target lung lobe histologically and no bacterium grew in target tissue the 4th week after operation. There were 3 cases of lung atelectasises but no pulmonary fibrosis in group B. Conclusion FPLT may be obtained after the target bronchus and lung bubbles were filled with emulsion of iodine oil and PYM and then target bronchus were occluded.FPLT is a minimal invasive, safe and effective procedure and might partially replace the surgical pulmonary lobectomy in future.
