Distinct Expression of Cytokines and Mitogenic Inhibitory Factors in Semen of Fertile and Infertile Men

PROBLEM: To assess the effect of seminal plasma (SP) of fertile and infertile men on leukocyte mitogenic response, and the capability of sperm cells to produce IL-1. METHODS: This study included four groups: fertile men (donors, normal), infertile men with azoospermia (azoo), oligo-terato-asthenozoospermia (OTA), and OTA with genital infection (OTA-inf). Mouse spleen cell proliferation in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or Concanavalin-A (Con-A) was examined in the presence of SP from the above four groups. Supernatants (sup) and lysates (lys) of sperm cells from fertile and oligoteratoasthenospermic (OTA) men were evaluated for IL-1 bioactivity by specific bioassay. RESULTS: Seminal plasma (SP) of the four groups were shown to inhibit the mitogenic response of mouse spleen cells to LPS and Con-A. SP of fertile men was significantly more inhibitory than SP from infertile men. Sperm cells from fertile and OTA infertile men constitutively produced IL-1. Sperm cells of both groups produced similar levels of IL-1 as examined in the supernatants and lysates. CONCLUSIONS: Seminal plasma of fertile men had more inhibitory mitogenic activity than that of OTA. Sperm cells constitutively produce IL-1. It is possible that the factors involved in this inhibition are not only anti-proliferative immune factors. Cytokines and inhibitory factors of mitogenesis in the seminal plasma may be involved in the physiology and pathophysiology of sperm functions and thus affect male fertility.

Hydroxyethyl starch does not improve pancreas preservation with HTK

The effect of hydroxyethyl starch on pancreas preservation with cardioplegic histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate solution (HTK) was investigated. The study was performed using an in vitro reperfusion system of the porcine pancreas. During organ preservation pancreatic weight, arterial pressure, volume flow, and washout of amylase and lactate were quantified. Addition of hydroxyethyl starch did not affect arteriovenous volume flow or washout of amylase and lactate during protective perfusion after pancreas preparation. However, hydroxyethyl starch in HTK prevented an increase in pancreatic weight at the end of the protective perfusion (102.2 ± 4.55% vs 127.8 ± 4.62% in controls; p < 0.005) and after 24 h cold ischemia (72.9 ± 3.91 % vs. 83.5 ± 3.49 % in controls; p < 0.05). Hydroxyethyl starch did not affect postischemic organ quality assessed during reperfusion in a perfusion chamber by pancreatic vascular resistance, amylase and lactate release, insulin secretion, and oxygen consumption. We conclude that hydroxyethyl starch does not bring about any further improvement in immediate postischemic organ quality assessed in an in vitro reperfusion system.

Hydroxyäthylstärke bringt keine verbesserung der pankreaskonservierung mit HTK-Lösung

Zusammenfassung Der Effekt von Hydroxyäthylstärke auf die Pankreaskonservierung mit der kardioplegischen Histidin-Tryptophan-Ketoglutarat-Lösung (HTK) wurde untersucht. Die Studie wurde an einem Reperfusionssystem des in vitro perfundierten Pankreas vom Schwein durchgeführt. Während der Organprotektion wurden das Pankreasgewicht, der arterielle Perfusionsdruck, die Volumenstromstärke sowie Amylase und Laktat im Perfusat bestimmt. Der Zusatz von Hydroxyäthylstärke bewirkte keine Änderung der Volumenstromstärke oder der Amylase- und Laktatauswaschung aus dem Organ während der Protektion. Allerdings konnte eine Zunahme des Organgewichts am Ende der protektiven Perfusion (102,2 ± 4,55% vs. 127,8 ± 4,62%in Kontrollen; p < 0,005) und nach 24 h kalter Ischamie (72,9 ± 3,91 vs. 83,5 ± 3,49% in Kontrollen; p < 0,05) durch Hydroxyathylstärke in der HTK-Lösung verhindert werden. Hydroxyäthylstärke hatte keinen Einfluß auf die postischämische Organqualität, die während der Reperfusion in einer Perfusionskammer anhand von Gefäßwiderstand, Amylase- und Laktatfreisetzung, Insulinsekretion und Sauerstoffverbrauch abgeschätzt wurde. Wir schließen daraus, daß Hydroxyäthylstärke die sofort nach einer Ischämie in einem In-vitro-Reperfusionssystem bestimmte Pankreasfunktion nicht weiter verbessert.

     

多官能度活性橡胶增韧环氧树脂的研究：Ⅲ.三元共混增韧环氧树脂

本文研究了双酚A对多官能度环氧基和羧基聚丙烯酸正丁酯橡胶增韧环氧树脂的影响。结果表明,加入双酚A,拉伸断裂能有大幅度提高,同时不降低弹性模量。这可能是由椽胶提高断裂伸长与双酚A提高屈服应力产生协同效应的结果。对羧基橡胶增韧的三元共混体系,拉伸断裂能随羧基官能度上升而增加。断裂面的形态研究表明,由于羧基橡胶与双酚A的酯化反应,大大减少了羧基橡胶聚集对增韧的不利影响。     

Mechanisms of pinacidil-induced vasodilatation

The mechanism of the vasodilator effect of pinacidil was examined. Pinacidil (0.1–100 μM) inhibited the increases in cytosolic Ca²⁺ ([Ca²⁺]_i) and muscle tension due to norepinephrine in rat aorta. In contrast, a Ca²⁺ channel blocker, verapamil, inhibited the norepinephrine-stimulated [Ca²⁺]_i more strongly than the contraction. Higher concentrations of pinacidil (3–100 μM) inhibited the verapamil-insensitive portion of the contraction and [Ca²⁺]_i. An inhibitor of ATP-sensitive K⁺ channels, glibenclamide, antagonized the inhibitory effect of low concentrations ( 10 pM) of pinacidol. Pinacidil did not change the contraction induced by Ca²⁺ in vascular smooth muscle permeabilized with Staphylococcus aureus -toxin. Norepinephrine (in the presence of GTP), 12-deoxyphorbol 13-isobutyrate (in the absence of GTP), and treatment with GTP_γS potentiated the contraction of permeabilized smooth muscle induced by the addition of Ca²⁺. Pinacidil (100 μM) inhibited the potentiation due to GTP_γS or noepinephrine but not to phorbol ester. These results suggest that pinacidil has dual effects on vascular smooth muscle contraction. At lower concentrations (>0.1 μM), it decreases [Ca²⁺]_i, possibly by activating ATP-sensitive K+ channels. At higher concentrations (> 3 μM), it may additionally inhibit the receptor-mediated, GTP-binding protein-coupled phosphatidyl inositol turnover.     

Substantial inhibition of neo-intimal response to balloon injury in the rat carotid artery using a combination of antibodies to platelet-derived growth factor-BB and basic fibroblast growth factor

Thirty percent of patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty develop recurrent disease within a year. This is usually due to the rapid accumulation of intimal smooth muscle cells and extracellular matrix, which causes luminal narrowing, and is probably orchestrated by several mitogenic and chemotactic factors, of which platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) appear to be particularly important. We have investigated the effects of administering a combination of neutralizing antibodies directed against PDGF-BB and bFGF on neo-intima development following balloon catheter injury in the rat carotid artery. Purified sheep anti-PDGF-BB and anti-bFGF immunoglobulins (IgGs) were administered singly and in combination prior to mechanical injury and daily until sacrifice, 8 days later. Plasma titres of exogenous anti-PDGF-BB and anti-bFGF were maintained at levels 10–20-fold higher than those required to neutralise the mitogenic and chemotactic effects of 20 ng/ml of PDGF-BB, or 10 ng/ml bFGF in vitro. Used singly, anti-PDGF IgG treatment was associated with a 47% reduction in intimal thickness and a 59% reduction in intimal:medial area ratio; anti-bFGF IgG administration caused a 53% reduction in intimal thickness, and a 50% reduction in intimal:medial area ratio. Treatment with a combination of these antibodies resulted in a 83.8% reduction in intimal thickness (P<0.05), and a 91% reduction in intimal:medial area ratio (P<0.01). The latter treatment was also associated with a significantly higher intimal cell density (14.2±1.6×10³ nuclei/mm²) compared to animals receiving non-immune IgG (7.8±0.8×10³ nuclei/mm²; P<0.025), although intimal and medial cell proliferation indices were not significantly different between the groups (P>0.05). Our results suggest that in this particular model, PDGF-BB and bFGF are the major factors controlling neointimal hyperplasia, and that these growth factors are operating principally via an effect on smooth muscle cell migration and extracellular matrix protein accumulation.     

Intracytoplasmic Lumina in Human Oviduct Epithelium

Intracytoplasmic lumina (ICL) in human oviduct epithelium were investigated with transmission electron microscopy. ICL were found in 43 out of 60 cases examined. They were ultra-structurally characterized by microvilli lining the lumina, periodic acid-thiocarbohydrazide-silver proteinate (PA-TCH-SP) staining-positive finely granular material in the lumina, and secretory vesicles in the cytoplasm surrounding the lumina. Although ICL were observed at various heights within the epithelium, they were mainly seen in basally located cells that did not face the oviduct lumen. Various stages of formation and development of ICL were observed in the basally located epithelial cells with secretory activities. Primary ICL were originated in the cytoplasm where the secretory granules were aggregated with smooth-surfaced tubular vesicles. Electron microscopic observations after PA-TCH-SP staining revealed that ICL were formed by fusion of the secretory granules with the tubular vesicles. ICL were enlarged into round profiles by further fusion of secretory granules and tubular vesicles, and subsequently opened to the oviduct lumen, or fused to each other to develop into large extracellular cysts within the epithelium.
