RESUMO
Objective To observe the effect of superoxide dismutase ( SOD ) , malondialdehyde ( MDA ) , glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT) and endothelin (ET-1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) on rat renal tissue under acute hypoxia .Methods 24 male Wistar rats, weight 180~220 g, were randomly divided into control group and acute hypobaric hypoxia group .Acute hypoxia group was divided into 2 groups hypoxia 1 and hypoxia 2, 8 rats for each group.After acute hypobaric hypoxia 10min and 24h, rats were sacrificed.The left removed kidneys were analyzed for biochemical indexes , and the right parts were observed by immunohistochemistry to evaluate the expression level of renal endothelin (ET-1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α).Results After acute hypobaric hypoxia , the activity of SOD of the rats kidney was greatly decreased (P 0.05).The immunohistochemical staining showed that , the expression level of ET-1 and TNF-αwas increased remarkably, but it was reduced after 24 h.Conclusion The obviously decreased activity of SOD , CAT, GSH and significantly increased expression of ET-1 and TNF-α, may be involved in the pathogenesis of renal hypoxic injury .
RESUMO
AIM: To explore the effect of complement on the cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat and the protection by sCR1-SCR15-18. METHODS: 75 male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham operation group (SO, n=15), middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion (MCAO) without treatment group (I/R, n=30); MCAO treated with sCR1-SCR15-18 group (sCR1-SCR15-18, n=30). After the MCAO for 2 h, then reperfusion for 24 h, the scores of neural behavioral functional deficits were determined. Infarction area was measured by TTC staining. Activity of MPO in cerebral cortex was detected. C3b deposition and pathological change were observed by immunohistochemial staining and HE staining, respectively. RESULTS: After reperfusion for 24 h, the neurological deficits score, infarction area and activity of MPO in sCR1-SCR15-18 group were decreased compared to I/R group. In sCR1-SCR15-18 group, C3b deposition in ischemic area was decreased and pathological injury was improved compared to I/R group. CONCLUSION: Complement plays a role in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and sCR1-SCR15-18 exerts a protective effect by inhibiting the excessive activation of complement.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The patients with severe spleen rupture can save their spleen functions by auto-transplantation of the spleen tissues in the greater omentum. Whether the transplanted spleen tissues are regulated by nerves or not is still unclear. The growth associated protein, GAP-43, is a specific protein of the nervous system, and by testing the GAP-43 in the transplanted spleen tissues, nerve regeneration can be understood.OBJECTIVE: To study the mRNA expression of the GAP-43 in the regenerated spleen tissues at different phases after the auto-transplantation of the spleen tissues, and to find the regeneration regularity of the GAP-43 + nerves in the auto-transplanted spleen tissues.DESIGN: A randomized and controlled experiment SETTING: A teaching and research office of the surgical applied anatomy and operative surgery department in a university MATERIALS: The study was done in the Surgical Applied Anatomy and Operative Surgery Department of the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from September 2002 to July 2003. A total of 120 Wistar mice were chosen. The mice were randomly divided into the experiment group and pseudo-operation group(control group) to make animal models. After the operation, mice of the two groups were fed under the same circumstances. The spleen tissues were respectively taken at the 15th, 30th, 60th,90th, 120th and 180th days after the operation for the study.METHODS: The general RNA was extracted from the tissues using the Tripure agent by the routine method. The general RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using the M-MLV reverse transcription kit. The mRNA of the GAP-43 was quantitatively measured using the gel pattern analysis.tern analysis.RESULTS: Totally 30 days after the transplantation of the spleen tissues, the mRNA of the GAP-43 was found to be expressed in the auto-transplanted spleen tissues. Ninety days after the operation, the expression reached the peak level. Totally 120 to 180 days after the operation the amount of the mRNA of the GAP-43 in the transplanted spleen tissues gradually got close to that in the normal spleen tissues.CONCLUSION: The expression of mRNA of the GAP-43 in the auto-transplanted spleen tissues suggests the regeneration of the nervous fiber in the transplanted spleen tissues.

RESUMO
To study the repairing process of elastic fiber after anastosis of artery, 90 femoral arteries of rats were divided and end-to-end anastomosis was performed. 3,7,14,21,30, and 90 days after anastomosis, the arteries were harvested and the restructuring of the elastic fiber of ananstomosed arteries was studied with formic acid digestion method and observed under scanning electronic microscope. Three main stages could be identified in the course of elastic fiber restructaring: stage 1, quiescent stage; stage 2, proliferation stage; and stage 3, reconstruction stage. After anastomosis of an artery, there was a remodeling process involving elastic fibers, and the repair of elastic fiber takes a neointimal model. The amount of elastic fiber increases markedly 30 days after the anastomosis, and its morphological structure becomes stable.
RESUMO
Objective To study the regeneration regularity of neuropeptide Y positive(NPY+) nerves in splenic autotransplantation. Methods Healthy Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups:(1)splenectomy and splenic autotransplantation group;(2) sham-operation group. Regeneration process and density changes of the NPY+ nerve fibers in the two groups were studied by immunohistochemical methods and computer image analysis qualification on day 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 postoperatively. Results The NPY+ nerve fibers had no regeneration on day 30 postoperatively, but on day 60 nerve fibers appeared in the peri-region of the autotransplanted spleen, on day 90 nerve fibers extended into the inner-part of splenic autotransplants. Density of the nerve fibers gradually became greater and almost normal on 180 days after operation. Conclusions After splenic autotransplantation, the NPY+ nerve fibers could be regeneration in the autotransplants tissue. The renascent nerve fibers came from greater omentum which wrapes the splenic autografts.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the f un ction of the autotransplanted splenic tissue. Method s 120 Kunming mice were randomly divided into two groups: sham operation group and group of 50% autograft splenic tissue implantation in the om ental pouch after total splenectomy. Six months after, splenic transplants were removed, and C 3b and Fc receptor and the expression of protein on the macr ophages was assayed in the implanted splenic tissue. Results The expression of protein and the receptor on the mac rophage in transplants were similar with that in the normal group. Conclusion The function of the macrophages in t he implanted splenic tissue judged by the expression of protein and receptor is normal, the autotransplanted splenic tissue can fulfil the function of the norma l spleen.
RESUMO
The splenic arteries of 110 Chinese cadavers and 65 dogs were observed with methods nf gross dissection, angiography (suspension of red lead oxide (Pb_3O_4) as the contrasr meduim) and corrosive cast (Polychloroethylene). The ramifications of the splenic artery and their relation to the splenic lobes and segments were studied. The results were outlined as follows:1. There are three patterns of splenic artery ramifications in human: Type Ⅰ, biramification(89%); Type Ⅱ, triramification(8%); and Type Ⅲ, polyramification(3%).2. In type Ⅰ, most of the splenic arteries divide into a superior and an inferior splenic lodar arteries. Most of the superior splenic lobar arteries subdivide into the superior and mid-superior segmental arteries and the inferior splenic lobar artery subdivides into the mid-inferior and inferior segmental arteries.3. All of the splenic arteries of the dogs we studied may divide into two splenic lobar arteries and each lobar artery further divides into two segmental arteries without exception.4. Between the lobar or segmental arteries there are zones poorly vascularized.5. Based on the anatomic observations we had performed experimental partial splenectomies on 15 dogs. All of the dogs survived the operation and their wound made on the spleen healed up very well.
RESUMO
A study on abdominal skin flaps of the fresh cadavers of young men under the operation, light and scanning electron microscope, and MAS image analysis system has been made. Methods include Chinese ink, ABS or methyl methacrylate injection and histological slides, transparent specimens as well as casts preparation. The course of the vessels in the human abdominal skin flap is in the "three steps form". Trunks and main branches of the cutaneous vessels run in the deep part of the superficial fascia, their branches and terminals form anastomoses in the middle of the reticular layer of dermis, and branches from the anastomoses form microvascular network in the subpapillary layer. The vascular networks in the skin flap are concentrated in five layers: the deep fascial, superficial fascial, profund dermal, subpapillary, and papillary layers. Between the subpapillary and the profund dermal vascular networks, there is a layer devoid of vascular network and crossed by vascular arteries only. Therefore, this layer may be called as "vascular network devoid area". The differences of the area fraction (Aa) or number of vessels are not significant among various areas of the abdominal skin flap. Design in detaching the abdominal skin flaps and skin grafts is discussed.
