Organophosphorus exposure affects different organs such as skeletal muscles, the gastrointestinal tract, liver, lung, and brain. The present experiment aimed to evaluate the effect of escin on cerebral edema induced by acute omethoate poisoning. Sprague-Dawley rats were administered subcutaneously with omethoate at a single dose of 60 mg/kg followed by escin treatment. The results showed that escin reduced the brain water content and the amount of Evans blue in omethoate-poisoned animals. Treatment with escin decreased the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and prostaglandin E? (PGE?) in the brain. Escin also alleviated the histopathological change induced by acute omethoate poisoning. The findings demonstrated that escin can attenuate cerebral edema induced by acute omethoate poisoning, and the underlying mechanism was associated with ameliorating the permeability of the blood-brain barrier.  相似文献

This study was to evaluate the protective effects of Danshensu on liver injury induced by omethoate in Sprague Dawley rats. The acute omethoate poisoning model was established by administrating subcutaneously with omethoate at a single dose of 60?mg/kg. Danshensu treatment markedly inhibited the increases of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, cyclooxygenase-2, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, thromboxane B2, and thromboxane B2/6-keto-PGF1alpha ratio induced by omethoate. The histopathological examination further confirmed that administration with Denshensu ameliorated liver injury. The results demonstrated that Danshensu possesses protective action on hepatic injury induced by omethoate and the pharmacological mechanism was related to the anti-inflammatory effect and circulation improvement of Danshensu, at least in part.  相似文献

Omethoate is an organophosphate insecticide with high toxicity. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of exogenous reduced glutathione (GSH) on omethoate-induced liver injury. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: control, OM (omethoate poisoning), and OM+GSH (omethoate poisoning treated with GSH). The activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in plasma, free organophosphate (FOP) in the liver were determined, and the histopathological changes in the liver were observed. Furthermore, TNF-α and NO in liver homogenate were assayed. The results showed that AChE activity was significantly inhibited by omethoate, but was not altered by GSH treatment. GSH was able to prevent hepatocellular edema and fatty degeneration, decrease liver FOP, attenuate the increased AST and ALT activity, and decline the increase of TNF-α and NO induced by omethoate. These results indicate GSH can attenuate liver injury, and suggest that GSH may be administered to protect the organ from injury in patients with acute organophosphate poisoning.  相似文献

The effects of the cyanide antidotes DMAP, Co2EDTA, and NaNO2 on cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral blood gases were investigated in connection with acute poisoning of dogs by cyanide. The substances were injected intravenously. Local CBF as measured with thermocouples in the cingulum increased by 100–200% after a non-lethal dose of KCN (1 mg/kg) and by 50% after injection of NaNO2 (15 mg/kg), that oxidized some 20% of the total hemoglobin to ferrihemoglobin. Co2EDTA (10 mg/kg) induced a decrease in local CBF of 30% and in brain temperature of 0.5°C. The temperature diminished also after poisoning by KCN, but it rose by 0.15°C after the administration of NaNO2. Local CBF and sinus sagittalis blood flow increased by 60–160% for about 15 min, and the brain temperature decreased by 0.4–0.5°C when DMAP (3.25 mg/kg) or Co2EDTA (15 mg/kg) was injected 1 min after poisoning by cyanide (4 mg/kg), a dose that always caused respiratory arrest. Immediately after injection of DMAP the brain temperature rose transiently by 0.1–0.2°C. Co2EDTA did not exert such an effect. In the sinus sagittalis blood of artificially ventilated animals pCO2 decreased rapidly by 10–20 mmHg after poisoning and approached the initial level after treatment with DMAP or Co2EDTA. The highest value of pO2 was about 80 mmHg and 50 mmHg after injection of DMAP and Co2EDTA, respectively; thereafter pO2 declined to 20 mmHg or 40 mmHg at 20 min. The lactate concentration increased by 60–70% without tendency to return to normal.  相似文献

Levels of acetylcholinesterase and neurotoxic esterase were measured in brain autopsy material. In tissue from a fatal human poisoning and from hens given 4–8 × unprotected LD50 AChE was highly inhibited and neurotoxic esterase uninhibited. The findings correlate with the inhibitory power of omethoate against these enzymes in vitro. It is concluded that omethoate has negligible potential to cause delayed neuropathy and a published report of human neuropathy due to omethoate is criticised.  相似文献

脑水肿是指脑内水分增加导致脑容积增大的一种病理现象,是脑组织对各种致病因素的反应。颅内损伤、缺血、缺氧、炎症、脑代谢障碍、肿瘤以及中毒都会引起脑水肿。脑水肿可导致颅内压的升高,当颅内压升高到一定程度时,脑组织就会发生功能和结构的损害,严重者导致脑死亡。先前对脑水肿发病机制的研究包括血脑屏障学说、钙离子学说、脑微循环障碍学说、脑细胞代谢障碍等。但是近年的研究表明脑水肿的发生与水通道蛋白4、基质金属蛋白酶、紧密连接蛋白、炎性细胞因子等密切相关。本文就脑水肿发生的分子机制进行综述。  相似文献

Purpose

In the present study, diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) and histology were used to assess cerebral edema and lesions in mice intoxicated by a convulsive dose of soman, an organophosphate compound acting as an irreversible cholinesterase inhibitor.

Methods

Three hours and 24 h after the intoxication with soman (172 μg/kg), the mice were anesthetized with an isoflurane/N2O mixture and their brain examined with DW-MRI. After the imaging sessions, the mice were sacrificed for histological analysis of their brain.

Results

A decrease in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was detected as soon as 3 h after the intoxication and was found strongly enhanced at 24 h. A correlation was obtained between the ADC change and the severity of the overall brain damage (edema and cellular degeneration): the more severe the damage, the stronger the ADC drop. Anesthesia was shown to interrupt soman-induced seizures and to attenuate edema and cell change in certain sensitive brain areas. Finally, brain water content was assessed using the traditional dry/wet weight method. A significant increase of brain water was observed following the intoxication.

Conclusions

The ADC decrease observed in the present study suggests that brain edema in soman poisoning is mainly intracellular and cytotoxic. Since entry of water into the brain was also evidenced, this type of edema is certainly mixed with others (vasogenic, hydrostatic, osmotic). The present study confirms the potential of DW-MRI as a non-invasive tool for monitoring the acute neuropathological consequences (edema and neurodegeneration) of soman-induced seizures.  相似文献

Escin has been used extensively to treat chronic venous insufficiency, hemorrhoids, and edema resulting from cerebral ischemic damage, trauma or operation. However, no studies have looked at the anti-inflammatory properties of escin administered by intravenous injection, and it is still not clear whether escin has an effect on the immune system. This study seeks to investigate the time dependent anti-inflammatory properties of escin and its effect on the immune system. The anti-inflammatory effect of escin was observed in carrageenan-induced paw edema and acetic acid-induced capillary permeability in mice. The immunopharmacological effects of escin were evaluated by spleen index (SI), thymus index (TI), proliferative capacity of splenocytes (PS), lymphocyte count (LC), serum TNF-α levels, and phagocytic rate (PR) in mice. Escin treatment showed a significant anti-inflammatory effect, similar to that seen with dexamethasone treatment. However, the duration of the anti-inflammatory response was longer with escin treatment than with dexamethasone treatment. The results also demonstrated that escin had no significant effects on SI, TI, LC, PS, TNF-α levels, and PR. The findings suggest that escin is a potent anti-inflammatory drug with long-lasting anti-inflammatory effects and without any immunosuppressive effects.  相似文献

Aim:

Aquaporins (AQPs) are the water-channels that play important roles in brain water homeostasis and in cerebral edema induced by brain injury. In this study we investigated the relationship between AQPs and a neuroprotective agent curcumin that was effective in the treatment of brain edema in mice with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Methods:

ICH was induced in mice by autologous blood infusion. The mice immediately received curcumin (75, 150, 300 mg/kg, ip). The Rotarod test scores, brain water content and brain expression of AQPs were measured post ICH. Cultured primary mouse astrocytes were used for in vitro experiments. The expression of AQP1, AQP4 and AQP9 and NF-κB p65 were detected using Western blotting or immunochemistry staining.

Results:

Curcumin administration dose-dependently reduced the cerebral edema at d 3 post ICH, and significantly attenuated the neurological deficits at d 5 post ICH. Furthermore, curcumin dose-dependently decreased the gene and protein expression of AQP4 and AQP9, but not AQP1 post ICH. Treatment of the cultured astrocytes with Fe2+ (10–100 μmol/L) dose-dependently increased the expression and nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 and the expression of AQP4 and AQP9, which were partly blocked by co-treatment with curcumin (20 μmol/L) or the NF-κB inhibitor PDTC (10 μmol/L).

Conclusion:

Curcumin effectively attenuates brain edema in mice with ICH through inhibition of the NF-κB pathway and subsequently the expression of AQP4 and AQP9. Curcumin may serve as a potential therapeutic agent for ICH.  相似文献

Background and the Purpose of the study

Central Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) has an important role on cerebral microcirculation and metabolism. However, its role in terms of protecting the brain from ischemic/reperfusion (I/R) injury are debatable. This study evaluated the role of ACE, using enalapril as ACE inhibitor, in protection of the brain from I/R injury during transient focal cerebral ischemia (TFCI) in normotensive rat.

Method

Male Sprague Dawley rats (280–320g) randomly assigned to control ischemic and enalapril pre-treated ischemic groups. Enalapril was injected intraperitoneally 1 h before middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) at the dose of 0.03 or 0.1 mg/kg. Cerebral ischemia was induced by 60 min MCAO followed by 24 hrs reperfusion. After evaluation of neurological deficit scores (NDS) the animal was sacrificed for assessment of cerebral infarction and edema.

Results

TFCI induced cerebral infarctions (283±18 mm3), brain edema (4.1±0.4%) and swelling (9.8±1.5%) with NDS of 3.11±0.36. Non-hypotensive dose of enalapril (0.03 mg/kg) improved NDS (1.37±0.26), reduced cerebral infarction (45%), brain edema (54%) and swelling of the lesioned hemispheres (34%) significantly. However, hypotensive dose of enalapril (0.1 mg/kg) could improve neurological activity (1.67±0.31) and failed to reduce cerebral infarction (276±39 mm3) and swelling (10.4±1.4%).

Conclusion

In the rat model of transient focal cerebral ischemia, inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme with non-hypotensive doses of enalapril has the benefit of improving neurological activity, reducing cerebral infarction, brain swelling and edema of acute ischemic stroke. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that central renin-angiotensin system may participate in ischemic/reperfusion injury of the cerebral cortex.  相似文献

The goal of this study was to estimate the blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability of Ginkgolide B in normal condition and models of ischemia both in vivo and in vitro. A sensitive LC-MS/MS analytical method was developed to determinate accurately the concentration of Ginkgolide B in cell, plasma and brain tissue. The injured rat brain microvessel endothelial cells (RBMECs) induced by Na2S2O4 served as a hypoxia/reoxygenation model in vitro. Intracellular concentration of Ginkgolide B increased in injured cells in a concentration-dependent manner. As a model of in vivo—ischemia/reperfusion, we performed middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats. Concentration of Ginkgolide B in the brain tissues showed higher in cerebral ischemia-reperfused animals than that in normal rats. To evaluate potential clinical effect of Ginkgolide B, we determined therapeutic time window in MCAO rats. Up to i.v. administration at 2 h after reperfusion of rats, Ginkgolide B could decrease infarction volume and brain edema, exerting significant protective effect in cerebral ischemia injury. In conclusion, Ginkgolide B could pass through BBB, especially after ischemia–reperfusion injury of brain, and might be therapeutically effective for ischemia/reperfusion injury of human brain.  相似文献

The effects of different doses (0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 mg/kg/i.p.) of cloricromene, a coumarine derivative, have been investigated on brain malondialdehyde levels, brain edema, myeloperoxidase activity, survival, locomotor hyperactivity and hippocampal neuronal loss following transient cerebral ischemia induced by temporary bilateral carotid occlusion in the Mongolian gerbil. Cloricromene reduced brain lipid peroxidation, measured through the evaluation of malondialdehyde (–82.9% with the highest dose), and the formation of postischemic brain edema, evaluated by water content. The increase in myeloperoxidase activity observed in the hippocampus of postischemic animals was also reduced: 0.7±0.3 U × 10–3 vs. 3.3±0.3 U × 10–3/g tissue. The same treatment increased survival and reduced hyperactivity linked to neurodegeneration induced by cerebral ischemia and reperfusion. Histological observations of the pyramidal layer of CAI showed a reduction of neuronal loss in animals that received the drug before occlusion but not in those that were treated after the occlusion. These results show that cloricromene, a drug with multiple actions, improves brain injury induced by transient cerebral ischemia.  相似文献

Objective:

This study was undertaken to evaluate the neuroprotective activity of Wedelia calendulacea against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion induced oxidative stress in the rats.

Materials and Methods:

The global cerebral ischemia was induced in male albino Wistar rats by occluding the bilateral carotid arteries for 30 min followed by 1 h and 4 h reperfusion. At various times of reperfusion, the histopathological changes and the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione–s–transferase (GST), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) activity and brain water content were measured.

Results:

The ischemic changes were preceded by increase in concentration of MDA, hydrogen peroxide and followed by decreased GPx, GR, and GST activity. Treatment with W. calendulacea significantly attenuated ischemia–induced oxidative stress. W. calendulacea administration markedly reversed and restored to near normal level in the groups pre-treated with methanolic extract (250 and 500 mg/kg, given orally in single and double dose/day for 10 days) in dose-dependent way. Similarly, W. calendulacea reversed the brain water content in the ischemia reperfusion animals. The neurodegenaration also conformed by the histopathological changes in the cerebral-ischemic animals.

Conclusion:

The findings from the present investigation reveal that W. calendulacea protects neurons from global cerebral–ischemic injury in rat by attenuating oxidative stress.KEY WORDS: Brain edema, global cerebral ischemia, histopathology, oxidative stress, Wedelia calendulacea  相似文献

One of the most common acute complications of stroke is brain edema. Treatment of edema is recommended when the condition of the patients is deteriorating. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of T-477 [(R)-(+)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,3-dihydro-4-diethyl aminoacetyl-4H-1,4-benzorthiazine hydrochloride], a novel neuronal Na+ and Ca2+ channel blocker, on brain edema in rats. Cerebral ischemia was induced by intra-arterial infusion of 1000 microspheres into the forebrain of freely moving rats, resulting in brain edema. T-477 was intravenously infused continuously for 24 h or twice for 3 h with a 3-h interval between infusions immediately after microsphere injection. T-477 dose-dependently inhibited the increase in brain water content by both infusion procedures; the inhibition was statistically significant at doses of 25 mg/kg per 24 h and 14 mg/kg per 9 h. Additionally, infusion of T-477 at a dose of 14 mg/kg per 9 h significantly inhibited the decrease in K content and the increase in Ca content of the forebrain. In conclusion, T-477 prevents brain edema following microsphere-induced cerebral embolism in rats.  相似文献

Phosgene is a poorly water‐soluble gas penetrating the lower respiratory tract which can induce acute lung injury characterized by a latent phase of fatal pulmonary edema. Pulmonary edema caused by phosgene is believed to be a consequence of oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. Ethyl pyruvate (EP) has been demonstrated to have anti‐inflammatory and anti‐oxidative properties in vivo and in vitro. The potential therapeutic role of EP in phosgene‐induced pulmonary edema has not been addressed so far. In the present study, we aim to investigate the protective effects of EP on phosgene‐induced pulmonary edema and the underlying mechanisms. Rats were administered with EP (40 mg kg?1) and RAW264.7 cells were also incubated with it (0, 2, 5 or 10 µm ) immediately after phosgene (400 ppm, 1 min) or air exposure. Wet‐to‐dry lung weight ratio (W:D ratio), nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production, cyclooxygenase2 (COX‐2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression, and mitogen‐activated protein kinases activities (MAPKs) were measured. Our results showed that EP treatment attenuated phosgene‐induced pulmonary edema and decreased the level of NO and PGE2 dose‐dependently. Furthermore, EP significantly reduced COX‐2 expression, iNOS expression and MAPK activation induced by phosgene. Moreover, specific inhibitors of MAPKs reduced COX‐2 and iNOS expression induced by phosgene. These findings suggested that EP has a protective role against phosgene‐induced pulmonary edema, which is mediated in part by inhibiting MAPK activation and subsequently down‐regulating COX‐2 and iNOS expression as well as decreasing the production of NO and PGE2.
