Use of epr oximetry with india ink to measure the po2 in the liver in vivo in mice

The partial pressure of oxygen (pO₂) of the liver in vivo in unanesthetized mice was determined using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) oximetry with India ink. The EPR spectra were obtained using a low-frequency (1.2 GHz) EPR spectrometer with a loop gap cavity resonator. The line width of the India ink used in this experiment was reversibly broadened by oxygen and was particularly sensitive to pO₂ below 30 torr. After the administration of India ink into the tail vein, the India ink particles were taken up mainly by Kupffer cells in the liver and in part by phagocytes in the spleen. The pO₂ measured in the normal liver was about 14 torr and was constant for the 2-week experimental period. The pO₂ decreased when measured at 1, 2, and 6 days after treatment with a hepatotoxin (carbon tetrachloride (CCI₄)); within 2 weeks, it returned almost to the initial level. Measurements by EPR at sacrifice of controls and CCI₄-treated mice indicated that more than 90% of the India ink went to the liver; the spleen contained 4.7% of total amount in control mice and 8.8% in CCI₄-treated mice when measured 2 weeks after the treatment. These data indicate the usefulness of India ink for measuring the pO₂ of the liver in vivo and that the pO₂ in the Kupffer cells is decreased when the liver is damaged by CCI₄.     

Flurazepam interaction with sodium and potassium channels in squid giant axon

External application of 0.05-1.0 mM flurazepam was found to partially block both sodium and potassium currents in voltage-clamped squid giant axons. At the same concentration the fractional block of the potassium current was found to be 3 times greater than that of the sodium current. In the presence of the drug the potassium current appeared to "inactivate', as flurazepam block became more profound during the course of the depolarization. The decay of the potassium current can be explained by a model in which flurazepam enters and blocks the potassium channels only after they have opened. Once bound in the potassium channel, removal of flurazepam from its binding site develops slowly (tau = 48 ms). Thus repetitive stimulation of the nerve produced a cumulative block. When applied inside the axon flurazepam was found to be 1.5 (n = 4) times more potent blocker of potassium channels than following external application. This result suggests that when applied externally, a neutral form of the drug diffuses across the membrane and blocks occurs from the inner end of the channel.

Bone regeneration by means of a three‐dimensional printed scaffold in a rat cranial defect

Recently, computer‐designed three‐dimensional (3D) printing techniques have emerged as an active research area with almost unlimited possibilities. In this study, we used a computer‐designed 3D scaffold to drive new bone formation in a bone defect. Poly‐L‐lactide (PLLA) and bioactive β‐tricalcium phosphate (TCP) were simply mixed to prepare ink. PLLA + TCP showed good printability from the micronozzle and solidification within few seconds, indicating that it was indeed printable ink for layer‐by‐layer printing. In the images, TCP on the surface of (and/or inside) PLLA in the printed PLLA + TCP scaffold looked dispersed. MG‐63 cells (human osteoblastoma) adhered to and proliferated well on the printed PLLA + TCP scaffold. To assess new bone formation in vivo, the printed PLLA + TCP scaffold was implanted into a full‐thickness cranial bone defect in rats. The new bone formation was monitored by microcomputed tomography and histological analysis of the in vivo PLLA + TCP scaffold with or without MG‐63 cells. The bone defect was gradually spontaneously replaced with new bone tissues when we used both bioactive TCP and MG‐63 cells in the PLLA scaffold. Bone formation driven by the PLLA + TCP30 scaffold with MG‐63 cells was significantly greater than that in other experimental groups. Furthermore, the PLLA + TCP scaffold gradually degraded and matched well the extent of the gradual new bone formation on microcomputed tomography. In conclusion, the printed PLLA + TCP scaffold effectively supports new bone formation in a cranial bone defect.

Role of p19ink4d in the pathogenesis of hearing loss

This study aimed to investigate the p19 expression in cisplatin-treated rats and the role of p19 in the degeneration of inner ear cells. It also searched for p19 gene alterations in patients with profound sensorineural deafness. P19ink4d is essential for the postmitotic maintenance of hair cells. It is presumed that a mutation in the functional homolog of p19 or a disturbance in its regulated expression can be the underlying cause of hearing loss. Experiments were conducted on male and female Sprague-Dawley rats (aged 6-7 weeks, 280-320 g) with thresholds of auditory brainstem responses <30 dB in the sound pressure level, and signs of middle ear infection were used for the experiment. For clinical evaluation, 400 children (age less than 13 years) from unrelated families with severe or profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) were recruited at the second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between 2005 and 2013, and genomic DNA for deafness gene analysis was obtained from peripheral blood samples of the patients and their lineal relatives. It was found that the p19 expression increased over time in the inner ear cells after cisplatin administration, but the p19 mRNA and protein levels significantly decreased in rats with manifested hearing loss induced by cisplatin. However, no mutation existed within the coding exons of p19 in the patients with profound sensorineural deafness. To conclude, the results support the concept that p19 may play an important role in the ototoxic effects of cisplatin and is probably involved in the pathogenesis of hearing loss.     

Consumption of Coprinus comatus polysaccharide extract causes recovery of alcoholic liver damage in rats

Context: Excess use of alcohol is known to be associated with liver diseases such as fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and cirrhosis. Various practices may be applied to prevent or treat the damage caused by chronic alcoholism. Coprinus comatus (O.F. Müll.) Pers. (Agaricaceae) is a macrofungus that has been reported to aid the recovery of murine livers damaged by benzopyrene.

Objective: In this study, the possible therapeutic effects of three different doses (50, 100, and 150?mg/kg) of C. comatus polysaccharide (PS) extract were studied in rats subjected to an alcoholic diet. The histological and biochemical results were compared between the control and experimental groups.

Materials and methods: Modified Lieber–Decarli’s calorie-adjusted liquid alcohol diet was given orally for 60?d. In addition to histopathology, alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), mitochondrial membrane integrity, total cytochrome-c oxidase activity (TotalStCox), total mitochondrial cytochrome-c oxidase activity (TotalMtStCox), and caspase-3 values were used as liver parameters, and liver sections from all experimental groups were examined by electron microscopy.

Results: Using histopathological assessment, it was observed that there was a decline in liver hepatocyte vacuolization in the treatment group fed 50?mg PS/kg. The TotalStCox and TotalMtStCox values of this group differed from the EtOH control group (p?Discussion and conclusion: Daily administration of 50?mg/kg of C. comatus PS extract considerably reduced the negative effects of alcohol on liver structure and function.
