白芍水煎剂对老龄小鼠抗衰老作用的实验研究

中药白芍水煎剂给予老龄小鼠灌胃(10g/kg),每日一次,连用4周。采用邻苯三酚自氧化法、DTNB和TBA比色法测定红细胞超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性,全血谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)活力和红细胞中及血浆中MDA含量。结果表明,白芍水煎剂能显著增强老龄小鼠红细胞SOD活性、全血GSH-Px的活力,而且可显著降低红细胞和血浆中MDA含量,故具有延缓衰老作用。     

甲醛对小鼠肺组织超氧化物歧化酶活性、丙二醛含量的影响

目的　探讨甲醛对小鼠肺组织超氧化物歧化酶 (SOD)活性、丙二醛 (MDA)含量的影响。方法　将 36只小鼠随机分成对照组和 2 0、4 0、6 0、80、1 0 0mg m3剂量组 ,采用静式呼吸道染毒 ,连续染毒 35d ,每天 2h ,染毒结束后将小鼠处死 ,测定其肺组织SOD活性 ,MDA含量。结果　与对照组相比 ,各剂量组小鼠肺组织内SOD活性均明显降低 ,MDA含量均明显升高 (P <0 0 1 )。且各剂量组之间SOD活性随染毒剂量的增加而降低 ,MDA含量随染毒剂量的增加而增加 ,但受试物组间经统计学比较差异无显著性 (P >0 0 5 )。结论　吸入一定浓度甲醛即可引起小鼠肺组织SOD活性、MDA含量产生明显变化     

IL-6对人精子顶体反应影响机制的初步探讨

目的:探讨IL-6对人精子顶体反应(AR)的影响机制。方法:采用BAEE/ADH法测定精子顶体酶的活性,以及通过FITC-PSA法检测精子顶体反应。结果:IL-6可诱导精子顶体酶及超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)的活性,促进精子顶体反应;胞外Ca2+单独不能诱导精子顶体反应,且没有胞外Ca2+的参与,IL-6也不能诱导精子顶体反应;蛋白激酶C(PKC)抑制剂calphC能逆转IL-6诱导的精子顶体反应。结论:IL-6对精子顶体反应有一定的促进作用,可能通过诱导精子的顶体酶和SOD活性等途径来实现,在此作用中,也涉及了PKC的激活,且还需要外源性Ca2+的参与。     

流行性出血热患者血清超氧化物歧化酶、丙二醛含量变化与其发病机理的关系

本文测定32例健康人和101例流行性出血热(EHF)患者血清超氧化物歧化酶(SOD),丙二醛(MDA)的含量。结果表明EHF患者血清SOD、MDA含量均高于健康对照组,以低血压少尿期升高最为明显。测定中还发现SOD、MDA含量升高与病情变化程度有一定关系。作者认为自由基参与了EHF的发病过程。研究EHF与自由基的关系有助于进一步阐明EHF的发病机理并为其临床治疗提供一定的参考价值。     

Additive effects of earthworm extract with HpD-laser on the enhancement of reactive oxygen production and the inhibition of[~3H]—thymidine.uptake in mouse ascitic tumor cells

The effects of combined use of earthworm extract(912)and HpD-laser on the produc-tion of reactive oxygen and the biosynthesis of DNA in S_(180) tumor cells were studied throughchemiluminescence measurement and[~3H]-TdR incorporation assay.The results showed that as com-pared with the control,the intensity of chemiluminescence emitted by tumor cells treatedsimultaneously with 912 and HpD-laser was enhanced more than ten-folds,while that treated with912 or HpD-laser alone was increased only 2～4 folds.The[~3H]-TdR incorporation into tumorcells of the former group was inhibited upto 74.1%,and that of the latter groups decreased onlyby 42.2% and 40.0%,respectively.In accordance with these biochemical changes,the ultrastructuraldamage of tumor cells of the former,combinedly treated group appeared to be the most serious.This suggests an additive effect of 912 with HpD-laser on tumor cells.In addition,if free radicalscavengers,such as catalase and superoxide dismutase,were added to the reaction systembefore chemiluminescence assay,the luminescent enhancement effect mentioned above was dramaticallyalleviated,implying the presence of O_2~ and H_2O_2 in the system.Therefore,as to the toxic effecton tumor cells,912 and HpD-laser are not only additive in efficiency,but also similar in theunderlying mechanism of action.     

ATP－氯化镁对脑缺血再灌流损伤后胞浆内Na~＋，K~＋，Ca~（2＋），Mg~（2＋）及SOD的影响

采用四条血管阻断方法制成家兔急性全脑缺血再灌流模型，观察家兔脑组织胞浆内ＳＯＤ及Ｎａ＋，Ｋ＋，Ｃａ（２＋），Ｍｇ（２＋）含量变化，结果发现家兔脑组织单纯缺血时ＳＯＤ活力明显下降（与正常对照组相比Ｐ＜０．０１），缺血再灌流后ＳＯＤ活力又较单纯缺血组进一步下降（Ｐ＜０．０１），Ｎａ＋，Ｃａ（２＋）在单纯缺血时含量增高（与正常对照组相比Ｐ＜０．０１），而Ｋ＋，Ｍｇ（２＋）则减少（Ｐ＜０．０１）；缺血再灌流后Ｎａ，Ｃａ（２＋）含量较单纯缺血组进一步增高（Ｐ＜０．０１），Ｋ＋，Ｍｇ（２＋）减少（Ｐ＜０．０１）．应用ＡＴＰ－氯化镁治疗后，上述指标与正常对照组相比无显著差异。

Polymorphisms in manganese superoxide dismutase and catalase genes: functional study in Hong Kong Chinese asthma patients

BACKGROUND: Reactive oxygen species may contribute to the pathogenesis of asthma. Functional genetic polymorphisms of antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase are good candidates for asthma susceptibility. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of the manganese-containing form of SOD (MnSOD) gene at amino acid position 16 (Val16Ala) and catalase gene in the promoter at A-21T and C-262T polymorphisms and asthma in a Hong Kong Chinese population. METHODS: The association study was conducted in a case-control design in asthma patients (n=251) and healthy controls (n=316) by genotyping. The functional significance was assessed by determining erythrocyte SOD and catalase activity. RESULTS: The Val allele of MnSOD at Val16Ala and the A allele of catalase gene at A-21T were not different between patients and controls, while the C allele of catalase gene at C-262T was found to be significantly different between patients and controls (P=0.033). The less frequent variant of catalase gene (-262T) was found to be protective from the development of asthma in a Hong Kong Chinese non-smoking population (adjusted odds ratio=0.35, 0.15-0.85; P=0.017). Asthma patients had elevated erythrocyte SOD and catalase activities in comparison with healthy controls (P<0.01). However, their activities were not associated with different genotypes within healthy controls or asthma patients. CONCLUSION: This is the first report showing that SOD and catalase functional activities are not associated with their respective genetic polymorphisms but related to the presence of asthma in a Hong Kong Chinese population.     

地塞米松对内毒素休克新生大鼠脑一氧化氮合成酶基因表达的调节

目的：探讨新生大鼠内毒素休克脑损伤时脑一氧化氮合成酶(NO6)三种亚型基因表达的变化及地塞米松(DEX)对其的调控作用。方法：在新生大鼠内毒素休克动物模型基础上，采用逆转录PCR及PCR技术，对脑组织中三型NOS mRNA及caspase—3 mRNA的表达进行半定量分析。结果：正常新生大鼠脑iNOS及eNOS mRNA无明显表达，nNOS mRNA、caspase—3 mRNA有一定程度表达。内毒素脂多糖(LPS)腹腔注射后2h，三种亚型NOS mRNA开始表达，于LPS6h达高峰，并持续至24h。caspase—3 mRNA于LPS腹腔注射后2h后表达逐渐增加，24h达高峰。DEX可抑制nNOS、iNOS及caspase—3 mRNA的表达，且以用药后2h最为明显，并持续至用药后24h。结论：内毒素休克脑损伤时，各型NOS均有表达，NO的产生是内毒素休克脑损伤时重要的病理生理机制之一。DEX通过抑制NOS、caspase—3 mRNA的表达部分实现其神经保护作用．
