Intense immunoreactivity for Mn-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) in cholinergic and non-cholinergic neurons in the rat basal forebrain

The immunohistochemical localization of manganese (Mn)-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) was studied in the rat basal forebrain using polyclonal antibodies to Mn-SOD. Neurons of the basal forebrain exhibit a high density of Mn-SOD immunoreactivity. Double immunostaining with a monoclonal antibody to choline acetyltransferase demonstrated that both cholinergic and non-cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain are intensely immunoreactive for Mn-SOD.     

Ex vivo neutrophil function in response to three different doses of glycosylated rHuG-CSF (Lenograstim)

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is being considered as adjuvant treatment for infections in non-neutropenic patients. Normal healthy donors were given rHuG-CSF (Lenograstim) at 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 μg/kg subcutaneously daily for 5 d. Polymorphonuclear leucocyte (PMN) function tests were carried out on peripheral blood PMN before the first injection and at 24 h and 96 h. Circulating PMN levels were also measured at these time intervals and found to be significantly increased with all doses by 24 and 96 h. Investigation of cell surface antigen expression revealed no changes in β₂ integrin (CD11b/CD18) expression. L-selectin (CD62L) expression was reduced with all doses by 96 h, this being significant with the 7.5 μg/kg dose. FcγRI (CD64) levels were significantly up-regulated with the 7.5 μg/kg dose by 96 h whereas FcγRIII (CD16) expression was found to be reduced during G-CSF treatment. Superoxide anion production was significantly increased in response to N -formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine (FMLP) and opsonized Staphylococcus epidermidis stimulation at 24 h and 96 h with the 5.0 and 7.5 μg/kg doses. The initial rate of phagocytosis (0–2 min) appeared to have increased with the 7.5 and 5.0 μg/kg doses at 96 and 24 h compared with PMN responses pretreatment, although these increases were not statistically significant. These results show that G-CSF enhances the functional responses of PMN stimulated by physiological agonists and may help in the treatment of infections.     

高龄初产妊高征孕妇过氧化反应的研究

目的：探讨高龄初产妊高征孕妇体内过氧化反应。方法：测定正常初产妇、妊高征孕妇妊娠晚期母血过氧化脂质（LPO）、超氧化物歧化酶（DOD）的含量。结果：1．高龄初产妇母血LPO较非高龄初产妇明显升高，SOD明显下降，P＜0．05。孕妇年龄与母血LPO呈明显正相关，与SOD呈明显负相关，P均＜0．05。2．妊高征孕妇LPO较正常孕妇显著增高，SOD显著下降，P＜0．05，并随病情加重LPO水平升高、SOD水平下降更为显著，P＜0．05。3．高龄初产妊高征孕妇母血LPO含量较非高龄初产妊高征孕妇明显增高，P＜0．05，而SOD则无显著变化，P＞0．05。4.妊高征孕妇胎儿宫内生长发育迟缓（IUGR）发生率较正常孕妇显著升高，P＜0．025，各组脐血清LPO、SOD含量无显著差异，P＜0．05。结论：高龄初产妊高征孕妇体内过氧化作用明显增强，LPO水平的升高可能为高龄初产妇妊高征发生率及IUGR发生率增加的原因之一。     

精浆抗精子抗体阳性不育患者顶体酶、一氧化氮合酶及超氧化物歧化酶活力变化的研究

目的:研究精浆抗精子抗体(AsAb)阳性对精子顶体酶、精浆一氧化氮合酶(NOS)及超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活力的影响。方法:精浆AsAb阳性不育者40例,对照组为40例正常生育男性。通过吸光度变化分别计算顶体酶活力(BAEE/ADH联合法)、NOS活力(氧化还原反应)、SOD活力(黄嘌呤氧化酶法)。结果:精浆As-Ab阳性组与正常生育组比较,精子顶体酶活力明显降低(P<0.01),NOS活力明显升高(P<0.01),精浆中SOD活力明显降低(P<0.01)。结论:精浆AsAb阳性引起不育可能与精子顶体酶、精浆中SOD及NOS活力改变有关。

Antioxidant and glutathione-related enzymatic activities in rat sciatic nerve

The present work tries to establish the antioxidant capacity of the peripheral nervous tissue of the rat, in terms of the enzymatic activities present in this tissue that either prevent the formation of activated species as the semiquinone radical (DT-diaphorase), protect against activated oxygen species (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase), conjugate natural toxic products or xenobiotics (glutathione S-transferases, especially the activity conjugating 4-hydroxy-nonenal), or complete the glutathione system metabolism (glutathione disulfide reductase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase). All the activities studied are lower in this tissue than they are in liver, except for γ-glutamyl transpeptidase. The relevance of the results obtained and its possible relationship with different neuropathies is discussed. It is concluded that the peripheral nervous tissue is by far less protected than the liver against oxidative damage.
