Objective To observe the effects of dopamine in different doses on hemodynamics and cerebral oxygen metabolism in the early stage of post-resuscitation in rabbit with cardiac arrest. Methods Healthy adult rabbits were randomly(random number) divided into 4 groups according to the different doses of dopamine administration: control group (CG), low dose group (LG), medium dose group (MG), high dose group (HG), (n=15 in each group). Ventricular fibrillation (VF) was induced by electricity and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was performed subsequently as the experiment designed. When 10 rabbits with restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) were got each group, it was enough for experiment carried out. Cardiac output (CO), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) and the cerebral local tissue blood oxygen saturation (TOI) were observed at 0 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, 120 min after ROSC. The animals were sacrificed at 120 min after ROSC, brain tissues were harvested for study by using HE staining. Repeated measure analysis of variance was used to determine the statistical significance among the four groups at different intervals. Multi-group quantitative data was analyzed by one way ANOVA and then further by LSD test for multiple comparisons. Chi-square test or Fisher's exact probabilities was applied for multi-group binomial classification variable. Log-rank test was used for comparisons of survival curves in four groups. A two-tailed value of P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results There were no differences in the rate of ROSC among groups. Compared with CG and LG, ROSC time was shorter in MG (27715 vs. 19012, PO.01 ; 25216 vs. 19012, P=0.016 ) with higher 120 min survival rate ( 20% vs. 90%,∗2=9.899, P=0.005; 30% vj. 90%,∗2=7.5, P=0.02) . CO was higher in MG than that in other groups at all given intervals in the early stage of post-resuscitation(P<0.05). MAP levels were significantly higher in MG and HG compared with CG and LG at given intervals 15 min after ROSC (P相似文献
Flow studies were made in a rigid model of an aorto-renal junction in an attempt to explain two observations made in our laboratory in cholesterol-fed rabbits. First, the area of the lesion was proportional to the area of the orifice it surrounded, and hence probably to the flow into the branch. Second, lesions developed proximal as well as distal to blind stumps of a renal artery in nephrectomized rabbits. The branch had a sharp entrance, and came off at 90°. The area ratio of the branch and distal aorta to the proximal aorta was 1.27 and steady flow at Reynolds numbers of 570–1070 was studied both with dye injections and with a hot-film anaemometer. The flow ratio was varied from 0.16 to 0.58.
Secondary motions were observed in the main channel and in the side branch at all flow rates. Boundary layer separation occurred on the outer wall of the main branch and on the proximal wall of the side branch. The thickness of the boundary layer separation in the main branch depended on the flow rate ratio.
Downstream from the junction the velocity profiles were highly asymmetric in both the renal artery and the distal aorta. In the plane of the junction, peak velocities were skewed towards the inner wall. The velocity profiles perpendicular to the plane of the junction were less disturbed.
The calculated shear stress on the inner wall of the main branch within one diameter of the junction was much higher than that calculated for the corresponding Poiseuille flow. The magnitude of the shear stress, and its extension downstream from the junction increased as the flow into the branch increased. This correlated with previous observation by Cornhill and Roach [1] in the cholesterol-fed rabbit, that atherosclerotic lesions develip in regions of high shear
If the branch was occluded, no vortex formed in it, and streamlines in the trunk were not affected. This is opposite to the observations of Malcolm and Roach [2] in glass models with a rounded junctional zone where a vortex formed at the entrance when the branch was occluded. Since blind stumps develop proximal as well as distal lesions in the cholesterol-fed rabbit [3], the entrance geometry is probably very critical. 相似文献
AIM: To investigate the immunogenicity of H pylori proteins, to evaluate the production rate of anti H pylori IgG antibodies in relation to time and to demonstrate the fidelity of newly optimized in-house enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique as an alternative for H pylori infection assay. METHODS: In the present study, 100 μg of formalinfixed H pylori whole cell antigens was injected into an experimental animal (New Zealand white female rabbit) intramuscularly on d 0, 16, 27 and 35. The first two doses were injected with adjuvants. On d 0, a serum sample was collected from the rabbit before immunization and this pre-immunized serum was used as a negative control for the whole study. To evaluate the immunogenic responses of the injected antigen, serum samples were collected from the rabbit at regular intervals up to d 42. The sera were analyzed using inhouse ELISA and Western blot techniques. RESULTS: The production of anti Hpylor/IgG antibodies in the rabbit in response to the injected antigen increased almost exponentially up to d 14 and after that it was maintained at the same level until the last day (d 42). By analyzing the immune profiles of immunized sera, 11 proteins were identified to be immunogenic, among them 2 (approximately 100 kDa and 85 kDa) were most prominent. CONCLUSION: Analysis of the immune responses against pathogenic microorganisms like H py/ori is necessary for the development of various diagnostic and preventive approaches. The results of this experiment reveal that the formalin-fixed H pylori whole cell antigens injected into the rabbit are highly immunogenic. These prominent proteins (approximately 100 kDa and 85 kDa) might have higher immunogenic effects among humans infected with H pylori and some of these immunogenic proteins can be included in diagnostic approaches based on serology and also for vaccine formulation. The in- house ELISA is a promising alternative compared to invasive techniques. 相似文献
The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of covering wounds to the tongue with a polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheet and fibrin glue. Eighteen mature male Japanese white rabbits had a unilateral glossectomy involving an area 10mm×10mm×2mm. After glossectomy the tongues were covered with PGA sheets 8mm×8mm in size and fibrin glue (mucosal defect covered with fibrin glue and polyglycolic acid sheet=MCFP) 1 week after the operation (n=3), after 2 weeks (n=3), and after 4 weeks (n=3). In control groups, after 1, 2, and 4 weeks (n=3 in each group), the partially resected tongues were closed with absorbable sutures (polyglactin 910). One week (experimental and control groups 1), 2 weeks (experimental and control groups 2) and 4 weeks (experimental and control groups 3) after operation the tongues were harvested and stained for microscopic examination. Histological examination showed that the covered wound surface had not epithelialised and the basal layer had yet to form in experimental group 1, but had formed in experimental group 2. However, in control group 1, epithelialisation of the sutured wound had begun. Immunohistochemical examination showed that, in experimental group 1, the non-uniform epithelial layer of the covered wound surface expressed cytokeratin AE1/AE3, and the epithelial and connective tissue layers stained strongly for FGF-2. Similar results were obtained in experimental group 2, whereas in experimental group 3, FGF-2 was expressed only in the connective tissue layer, and epithelialisation was complete. However, in control group 1, AE1/AE3 was expressed in the epithelial layer, and FGF was expressed in the connective tissue layer beneath the basal layer. In control groups 2 and 3, AE1/AE3 and FGF-2 were expressed in patterns similar to those in experimental groups 2 and 3. We suggest that this method is useful and the operation is simple. However, further testing of the method is needed and it should be widely used clinically before it is recommended. 相似文献
Only one out of 57 A-/ A- rabbits immunized with rat or guinea-pig myelin developed clinical signs suggestive of EAE. On the contrary, clinical signs of acute or chronic EAE were found in two thirds of the 102 A + /A+ and A + /A - rabbits immunized in the same way. About one third of the diseased animals had reversible acute EAE, another third died paralysed and the last third developed chronic progressive or relapsing EAE. Incidence and severity of EAE symptoms were positively correlated with age and no significant difference was observed between males and females.Cellular and humoral anti-myelin responses were stronger in A+ than in A? rabbits. Anti-A antibodies, on the contrary, were only detected in A ? rabbits. The A + rabbits did not make Anti-A at any time. Anti-A antibodies increased early, in A? rabbits, after immunization with myelin (11–30 days) and were later replaced by a low, but specific, anti-myelin response (60–90 days).The gene responsible for the susceptibility to EAE is autosomal and dominant over resistance. This gene must be closely linked to the A locus or might be the A gene itself. The low susceptibility of A? rabbits to the disease could be, in this last case, a consequence of the competition between the early anti-A and the normal anti-myelin immune responses, both induced by the injection of myelin. 相似文献
