AIM: To investigate the abundance and potential diagnostic significance of neuroligin-1 and glutamate(Glu) in Hirschsprung's disease(HSCR).METHODS: Ninety children with HSCR and 50 children without HSCR matched for similar nutritional status, age and basal metabolic index were studied. The expression and localization of neuroligin-1 and Glu were assessed using double-labeling immunofluorescence staining of longitudinal muscles with adherent myenteric plexus from the surgically excised colon of children with HSCR. Western blot analysis, quantitative real-time PCR(q RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry were performed to evaluate the abundance of neuroligin-1 and Glu in different HSCR-affected segments(ganglionic, transitional, and aganglionic segments). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect and compare serum Glu levels in the long-segment HSCR, short-segment HSCR and non-HSCR samples.RESULTS: Neuroligin-1 and Glu were co-expressed highest to lowest in the ganglionic, transi tional and aganglionic segments based on Western blot(neuroligin-1: 0.177 ± 0.008 vs 0.101 ± 0.006, 0.177 ± 0.008 vs 0.035 ± 0.005, and 0.101 ± 0.006 vs 0.035 ±0.005, P 0.005; Glu: 0.198 ± 0.006 vs 0.115 ± 0.008, 0.198 ± 0.006 vs 0.040 ± 0.003, and 0.115 ± 0.008 vs 0.040 ± 0.003, P 0.005) and q RT-PCR(neuroligin-1: 9.58 × 10-5 ± 9.94 × 10-6 vs 2.49 × 10-5 ± 1.38 × 10-6, 9.58 × 10-5 ± 9.94 × 10-6 vs 7.17 × 10-6 ± 1.12 × 10-6, and 2.49 × 10-5 ± 1.38 × 10-6 vs 7.17 × 10-6 ± 1.12 × 10-6, P 0.005). Serum Glu level was the highest to lowest in the non-HSCR, short-type HSCR and long-type HSCR samples based on ELISA(in nmol/μL, 0.93 ± 0.31 vs 0.57 ± 0.25, 0.93 ± 0.31 vs 0.23 ± 0.16, and 0.57 ± 0.25 vs 0.23 ± 0.16, P 0.005).CONCLUSION: Neuroligin-1 and Glu may represent new markers of ganglion cells, whose expression may correlate with the pathogenesis, diagnosis, differential diagnosis or classification of HSCR. 相似文献

AIM:To construct and evaluate the functionality of a choanoid-fluidized bed bioreactor(CFBB)based on microencapsulated immortalized human hepatocytes.METHODS:Encapsulated hepatocytes were placed in the constructed CFBB and circulated through Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium(DMEM)for 12 h,and then through exchanged plasma for 6 h,and compared with encapsulated cells cultivated under static conditions in a spinner flask.Levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and albumin were used to evaluate the CFBB during media circulation,whereas levels of ALT,total bilirubin(TBil),and albumin were used to evaluate it during plasma circulation.Mass transfer and hepatocyte injury were evaluated by comparing the results from the two experimental conditions.In addition,the viability and microstructure of encapsulated cells were observed in the different environments.RESULTS:The bioartificial liver model based on a CFBB was verified by in vitro experiments.The viability of encapsulated cells accounting for 84.6%±3.7%in CFBB plasma perfusion was higher than the 74.8%±3.1%in the static culture group(P<0.05)after 6 h.ALT release from cells was 29±3.5 U/L vs 40.6±3.2U/L at 12 h(P<0.01)in the CFBB medium circulation and static medium culture groups,respectively.Albumin secretion from cells was 234.2±27.8μg/1×107cells vs 167.8±29.3μg/1×107 cells at 6 h(P<0.01),274.4±34.6μg/1×107 cells vs 208.4±49.3μg/1×107 cells(P<0.05)at 12 h,in the two medium circulation/culture groups,respectively.Furthermore,ALT and TBil levels were 172.3±24.1 U/L vs 236.3±21.5 U/L(P<0.05),240.1±23.9μmol/L vs 241.9±31.4μmol/L(P>0.05)at 6 h in the CFBB plasma perfusion and static plasma culture groups,respectively.There was no significant difference in albumin concentration between the two experimental plasma groups at any time point.The microstructure of the encapsulated hepatocytes remained healthier in the CFBB group compared with the static culture group after 6 h of plasma perfusion.CONCLUSION:The CFBB can function as a bioartificial liver based on a bioreactor.The efficacy of this novel bioreactor is promising for the study of liver failure. 相似文献

AIM: To study the uptake of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and expression of tumor necrosis factor α-mRNA (TNF-α-mRNA) with cultured rat intrahepatic bile duct epithelial cells.METHODS: By using fluorescent, immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization techniques, the uptake of Escherichia coli LPS and expression of TNF-α-mRNA with isolated rat intrahepatic bile duct epithelial cells were observed with confocal laser scanning microscopy.RESULTS: Positive reactions to LPS were found in the cytoplasm of isolated intrahepatic bile duct epithelial cells after incubation with LPS for 15 min and the FITC fluorescent intensity against LPS was significantly higher than that of the controls (121.45 μFI/μm2 ± 15.62 μFI/μm2
vs 32.12 μFI/μm2 ± 9.64 μFI/μm2, P < 0.01). After incubation with LPS for 3 h, fluorescein isocyanate (FITC) fluorescent intensities of the expression of TNF-α-mRNA with fluorescent in situ hybridization in the cytoplasm and nuclei of the cultured bile duct epithelial cells were significantly higher than those of the controls (189.15 μFI/μm2 ± 21.33 μFI/μm2
vs 10.00 μFI/μm2 ± 8.99 μFI/μm2, 64.85 μFI/μm2 ± 14.99 μFI/μm2
vs 21.20 μFI/μm2 ± 2.04 μFI/μm2, respectively (P < 0.01)). The increase of FITC fluorescent intensity of TNF-α-mRNA expression in the cytoplasm peaked at 6 h after incubation (221.38 μFI/μm2 ± 22.99 μFI/μm2). At various time points after incubation with LPS, the increase of fluorescent intensities of TNF-α-mRNA in the cytoplasm were much higher than those in the nuclei (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: LPS can act on and enter into isolated intrahepatic bile duct epithelial cells and stimulate the expression of TNF-α-mRNA. 相似文献

BackgroundSuccessful hepatocyte isolation is crucial for development of cellular transplantation and biochemical research. Most researchers isolate hepatocytes from surplus donor tissue or normal tissue removed during resection of liver tumours. However, most tissue available for research is from explanted diseased liver and donor tissue rejected for transplant. We previously described our experience of hepatocyte isolation using liberase from such livers with a success rate of 51% and median viability of 40%. Liberase is a highly purified collagenase that has been shown to improve the viability of isolated porcine hepatocytes. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has been shown to improve the viability of human hepatocytes isolated from steatotic donor tissue. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of both reagents in combination on the outcome of hepatocyte isolation from normal and diseased liver.MethodsHepatocytes were isolated from 30 consecutive liver specimens as previously described (old protocol). A further 30 consecutive liver specimens were perfused with buffer containing NAC and standard collagenase substituted by liberase (new protocol). Success was defined as maintenance of cell adhesion and morphology for 48 h and/or their successful use in laboratory studies. Mann-Whitney tests were used to compare results. Fisher's exact test was used for categorical data.FindingsBaseline factors were similar for both groups. The delay to tissue processing was slightly less in the new protocol group (median 2 h vs 4 h, p=0·007). The success rate improved from 40% (12/30) with the old protocol to 70% (21/30) with the new protocol (p=0·037), and the median viable cell yield increased from 7·3 × 104 to 28·3 × 104 cells per g tissue (p=0·003). After multivariable analysis adjusting for the difference in time delay, the success rate (p=0·014) and viable cell yield per g tissue (p=0·001) remained significantly improved.InterpretationNAC and liberase greatly improve the success of hepatocyte isolation and result in a significantly higher viable cell yield. Use of these agents may improve the availability of hepatocytes for transplantation as well as laboratory research.FundingUK Medical Research Council. 相似文献

Outcomes of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation in decompensated liver cirrhosis
Yang-Qiu Bai Yu-Xiu Yang Ya-Ge Yang Song-Ze Ding Fang-Li Jin Ming-Bo Cao Yan-Rui Zhang Bing-Yong Zhang 《World journal of gastroenterology : WJG》2014,20(26):8660-8666
AIM: To determine the long-term efficacy of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) transplantation in terms of improving liver function and reducing complications in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.METHODS: A total of 47 inpatients with decompensated liver cirrhosis were enrolled in this trial, including 32 patients undergoing a single BM-MNCs transplantation plus routine medical treatment, and 15 patients receiving medical treatment only as controls. Forty-three of 47 patients were infected with hepatitis B virus. Bone marrow of 80-100 mL was obtained from each patient and the BM-MNCs suspension was transfused into the liver via the hepatic artery. The efficacy of BM-MNCs transplantation was monitored during a 24-mo follow-up period.RESULTS: Liver function parameters in the two groups were observed at 1 mo after BM-MNCs transfusion. Prealbumin level was 118.3 ± 25.3 mg/L vs 101.4 ± 28.7 mg/L (P = 0.047); albumin level was 33.5 ± 3.6 g/L vs 30.3 ± 2.2 g/L (P = 0.002); total bilirubin 36.9 ± 9.7 mmol/L vs 45.6 ± 19.9 mmol/L (P = 0.048); prothrombin time 14.4 ± 2.3 s vs 15.9 ± 2.8 s (P = 0.046); prothrombin activity 84.3% ± 14.3% vs 74.4% ± 17.8% (P = 0.046); fibrinogen 2.28 ± 0.53 g/L vs 1.89 ± 0.44 g/L (P = 0.017); and platelet count 74.5 ± 15.7 × 109/L vs 63.3 ± 15.7 × 109/L (P = 0.027) in the treatment group and control group, respectively. Differences were statistically significant. The efficacy of BM-MNCs transplantation lasted 3-12 mo as compared with the control group. Serious complications such as hepatic encephalopathy and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis were also significantly reduced in BM-MNCs transfused patients compared with the controls. However, these improvements disappeared 24 mo after transplantation.CONCLUSION: BM-MNCs transplantation is safe and effective in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. It also decreases the incidence of serious complications. 相似文献

Background
Hepatocyte transplantation is being used in patients with liver-based metabolic disorders and acute liver failure. Hepatocytes can be isolated from unused/rejected livers under sterile conditions.Objectives
The quality of the hepatocytes is very important and the main and initial step in hepatocyte transplantation is hepatocyte isolation. In this study we tried to set up the methods of hepatocyte isolation in order to use the high quality cells in acute liver failure or congenital metabolic disorders.Materials and Methods
In this study, during a year, hepatocytes were isolated from 7 unused/rejected livers among more than 300 harvested livers in Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The two step collagenase perfusion method was used under GMP (Good manufacturing practice) for hepatocyte isolation.Results
Highly quality hepatocytes with high viability and low contamination were isolated. The mean viability was 71.8% ± 21.7. In the first 4 cases microbial contamination by Staphylococci, Diphtheroid and Klebsiella was detected, however the last 3 cases were free of any micro organisms. After 5 weeks of cryopreservation in -140°C, the cell viability was still acceptable.Conclusions
Hepatocyte isolation can be performed as the main and initial step for cell transplantation from unused/rejected liver. It is the first experience in Iran. 相似文献7.

AIM: To investigate and compare the inhibitory effects of rapamycin in the different stages of liver fibrosis.METHODS: We performed bile duct ligation (BDL) in male Wistar rats (n = 24). The experimental rats were classified into four groups: the BDL+/Rapa- group (un-treated control, n = 4), the BDL+/Rapa+ group (treated 14 d after BDL, n = 8), the BDL+/Rapa++ group (treated on the day after BDL, n = 8), and the BDL-/Rapa- group (un-treated, sham -operated control, n = 4). The BDL+/Rapa+ and BDL+/Rapa++ groups were administered rapamycin (2 mg/kg) for 28 d. The liver tissues were tested by immunohistochemical staining for α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and cytokeratin.RESULTS: The liver mRNA levels of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) were measured using the polymerase chain reaction. The protein levels of liver p70s6K and p-p70s6k were determined using Western blotting. α-SMA expression was lowest in the BDL+/Rapa++group. TGF-β1 and PDGF expression levels in the rapamycin-treated group were lower than those in the un-treated group and higher than those in the control groups (TGF-β1: 0.23 ± 0.00 vs 0.34 ± 0.01, 0.23 ± 0.0 vs 0.09 ± 0.00, P < 0.0001; PDGF: 0.21 ± 0.00 vs 0.34 ± 0.01, 0.21 ± 0.0 vs 0.09 ± 0.00, P < 0.0001). The p70s6k and p-p70s6k levels decreased in the treated groups and were lowest in the BDL+/Rapa++group (p70s6k: 1.05 ± 0.17 vs 1.30 ± 0.56, 0.40 ± 0.01 vs 1.30 ± 0.56, P < 0.0001; p-p70s6k: 1.40 ± 0.5 vs 1.67 ± 0.12, 0.70 ± 0.01 vs 1.67 ± 0.12, P < 0.0001).CONCLUSION: The results of our study indicate that rapamycin has inhibitory effects on liver fibrosis, and the treatment is most effective in the early stages of fibrosis. 相似文献

Lateral diffusion of phospholipids in the plasma membrane of soybean protoplasts: Evidence for membrane lipid domains 总被引:6,自引:3,他引:6 下载免费PDF全文

Fluorescent lipid and phospholipid probes were incorporated at 4°C into soybean protoplasts prepared from cultured soybean (SB-1) cells. Fluorescence microscopy showed that the plasma membrane as well as the nucleus were labeled. Fluorescence redistribution after photobleaching (FRAP) analysis was performed on these cells at 18°C to monitor the lateral mobility of the incorporated probes. After labeling at low concentrations (40 μg/ml) of phosphatidyl-N-(4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazolyl)ethanolamine (NBD-PtdEtn), a single mobile component was observed with a diffusion coefficient (D) of ≈3 × 10-9 cm2/sec. After labeling at higher probe concentrations (≥100 μg/ml), two diffusing species were observed, with diffusion coefficients of ≈3 × 10-9 cm2/sec (“fast”) and ≈5 × 10-10 cm2/sec (“slow”). Similar results were observed with fluorescent derivatives of phosphatidylcholine and fatty acids. In contrast to these results, parallel analysis of 3T3 fibroblasts, using the same probes and conditions, yielded only a single diffusion component. These results suggest that the soybean plasma membrane may contain two distinct lipid domains in terms of lipid mobility. Consistent with this idea, experiments with soybean protoplasts yielded a single diffusion component under the following conditions: (i) labeling with NBD-PtdEtn (100 μg/ml), FRAP analysis at 37°C (D = 1.1 × 10-8 cm2/sec); (ii) labeling with NBD-PtdEtn (100 μg/ml), FRAP analysis at 18°C in the presence of 2 mM EGTA (D = 4.2 × 10-9 cm2/sec); (iii) labeling with 5-(N-dodecanoyl)aminofluorescein (a short-chain lipid probe), FRAP analysis at 18°C or 37°C (D = 2.5 × 10-8 cm2/sec). These results suggest that the plasma membrane of soybean cells may contain stable immiscible domains of fluid and gel-like lipids. 相似文献

AIM: To evaluate the feasibility of hepatectomy and primary closure of common bile duct for intrahepatic and extrahepatic calculi. METHODS: From January 2008 to May 2013, anatomic hepatectomy followed by biliary tract exploration without biliary drainage(non-drainage group) was performed in 43 patients with intrahepatic and extrahepatic calculi. After hepatectomy, flexible choledochoscopy was used to extract residual stones and observe the intrahepatic bile duct and common bile duct(CBD) for determination of biliary stricture and dilatation. Function of the sphincter of Oddi was determined by manometry of the CBD. Primary closure of the CBD without T-tube drainage or bilioenteric anastomosis was performed when there was no biliary stricture or sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. Dexamethasone and anisodamine were intravenously injected 2-3 d after surgery to prevent postoperative retrograde infection due to intraoperative bile duct irrigation, and to maintain relaxation of the sphincter of Oddi, respectively. During the same period, anatomic hepatectomy followed by biliary tract exploration with biliary drainage(drainage group) was performed in 48 patients as the control group. Postoperative complications and hospital stay were compared between the two groups.RESULTS: There was no operative mortality in either group of patients. Compared to intrahepatic and extrabiliary drainage, hepatectomy with primary closure of the CBD(non-drainage) did not increase the incidenceof complications, including residual stones, bile leakage, pancreatitis and cholangitis(P > 0.05). Postoperative hospital stay and costs were nevertheless significantly less in the non-drainage group than in the drainage group. The median postoperative hospital stay was shorter in the non-drainage group than in the drainage group(11.2 ± 2.8 d vs 15.4 ± 2.1 d, P = 0.000). The average postoperative cost of treatment was lower in the non-drainage group than in the drainage group(29325.6 ± 5668.2 yuan vs 32933.3 ± 6235.1 yuan, P = 0.005). CONCLUSION: Hepatectomy followed by choledochoendoscopic stone extraction without biliary drainage is a safe and effective treatment of hepatolithiasis combined with choledocholithiasis. 相似文献

The self-assembled heterocapsule 1·2, which is formed by the hydrogen bonds of tetra(4-pyridyl)-cavitand 1 and tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-cavitand 2, encapsulates 1 molecule of guests such as 1,4-diacetoxybenzene 3a, 1,4-diacetoxy-2,5-dimethylbenzene 3b, 1,4-diacetoxy-2,5-dialkoxybenzenes (3c, OCH3; 3d, OC2H5; 3e, OC3H7; 3f, OC4H9; 3g, OC5H11; 3h, OC6H13; 3i, OC8H17), 1,4-diacetoxy-2,5-difluorobenzene 4a, and 1,4-diacetoxy-2,3-difluorobenzene 4b. The X-ray crystallographic analysis of 3c@(1·2) showed that the acetoxy groups at the 1,4-positions of 3c are oriented toward the 2 aromatic cavity ends of 1·2 and that 3c can rotate along the long axis of 1·2. Thus, the 1·2 (stator) with the encapsulation guest (rotator) behaves as a supramolecular gyroscope. A variable temperature (VT) 1H NMR study in CDCl3 showed that 3a, 3b, 4a, and 4b within 1·2 rotate rapidly even at 218 K, whereas guest rotation is almost inhibited for 3h and 3i even at 323 K. In this respect, 4b with a large dipole moment is a good candidate for the rotator of 1·2. For 3c–3g, the enthalpic (ΔH‡) and entropic (ΔS‡) contributions to the free energy of activation (ΔG‡) for the guest-rotational steric barriers within 1·2 were obtained from Eyring plots based on line-shape analysis of the VT 1H NMR spectra. The value of ΔG‡ increased in the order 3c < 3d < 3e < 3f < 3g. Thus, the elongation of the alkoxy chains at the 2,5-positions of 3 puts the brakes on guest rotation within 1·2. 相似文献

Although reports suggest that Schistosoma mansoni increases hepatitis C virus (HCV) morbidity and chronicity, its impact on HCV spontaneous resolution is not clear. HCV genotype, viral load, abdominal ultrasonographic findings, and HCV-specific cell-mediated immunity (CMI) were examined among 141 healthcare workers infected with HCV (68 workers with and 73 workers without S. mansoni). HCV genotype 4 was dominate, and viral loads were 2.62 ± 0.69 × 106 and 4.24 ± 1.4 × 106 IU/mL among patients with and without coinfection, respectively (P = 0.309); 23.5% with and 32.9% without coinfection had spontaneously resolved HCV infection (P = 0.297). Interferon-γ spot-forming cells/106 peripheral blood mononuclear cells among responding viremic patients with and without coinfection were 716 ± 194 and 587 ± 162, whereas among aviremic patients, it was 794 ± 272 and 365 ± 36 (P > 0.05), respectively. In conclusion, there was no statistical difference in HCV spontaneous resolution, viral load, liver pathology, or CMI in patients with or without S. mansoni coinfection, suggesting that it did not impact the outcome of HCV infection. 相似文献

A rapid Listeria detection method was developed utilizing A511 bacteriophage amplification combined with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and lateral flow immunochromatography (LFI). Anti-A511 antibodies were covalently linked to SERS nanoparticles and printed onto nitrocellulose membranes. Antibody-conjugated SERS nanoparticles were used as quantifiable reporters. In the presence of A511, phage-SERS nanoparticle complexes were arrested and concentrated as a visible test line, which was interrogated quantitatively by Raman spectroscopy. An increase in SERS intensity correlated to an increase in captured phage-reporter complexes. SERS limit of detection was 6 × 106 pfu·mL−1, offering detection below that obtainable by the naked eye (LOD 6 × 107 pfu·mL−1). Phage amplification experiments were carried out at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.1 with 4 different starting phage concentrations monitored over time using SERS-LFI and validated by spot titer assay. Detection of L. monocytogenes concentrations of 1 × 107 colony forming units (cfu)·mL−1, 5 × 106 cfu·mL−1, 5 × 105 cfu·mL−1 and 5 × 104 cfu·mL−1 was achieved in 2, 2, 6, and 8 h, respectively. Similar experiments were conducted at a constant starting phage concentration (5 × 105 pfu·mL−1) with MOIs of 1, 2.5, and 5 and were detected in 2, 4, and 5 h, respectively. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the mechanism of age-related reduction of Kupffer cell (KC) phagocytic capacity and the protective management.METHODS: Using rhodamine 123 fluorescence density and rate of glucose utilization as parameters, we measured the mitochondrial energy metabolism status in vitro and the glucose utilization capacity of isolated rat liver Kupffer cells (KCs) from rats of various ages (6 mo, 12 mo, 18 mo and 24 mo) and the effect of vitamin E (VE) pretreatment (500 mg/kg/wk × 13 wk).RESULTS: The rate of KC glucose utilization and the rhodamine fluorescence density of KC mitochondria of 18 mo-old untreated rats (NVEG) were significantly lower than that of 6 mo-old NVEG by 19.3% (4.0 nmol·h ± 0.4 nmol·h-1 10.6 cells-1
vs 5.7 nmol·h ± 0.6 nmol·h-1 106 cells-1, P < 0.05) and 19.5% (80.5 ± 6.3 vs 100.0 ± 4.7, P < 0.01) respectively; Rate of KC glucose utilization and the rhodamine fluorescence density of KC mitochondria of 6 mo-old rats were also lower than the 24 mo-old NVEG by 35.1% (3.7 nmol·h ± 0.6 nmol·h-1106 cells-1
vs 5.7 nmol·h ± 0.6 nmol·h-1 106 cells-1, P < 0.01) and 32.1% (67.9 ± 7.4 vs 100.0 ± 4.7, P < 0.01) respectively. The two parameters of 18 mo-old VE pretreated rats (VEG) were significantly higher than those of 18 mo-old NVEG, and statistically comparable to those of 6 mo-old VEG. The two parameters of the 24 mo-old VEG were significantly higher in comparison with those of 24 mo-old NVEG, but still significantly lower than those of 6 mo-old VEG.CONCLUSION: Aging has a significantly negative effect on KC energy metabolism, which can be alleviated by VE pretreatment. 相似文献

Background/Aims: Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent vasodilator. We investigated the mechanisms responsible for this effect in the liver.Methods: Isolated perfused rat liver and cultures of endothelial sinusoidal cells and hepatocytes were used.Results: L-arginine (10−3 M) and NO donor Sin-1 (10−5 M) respectively increased the liver flow by 52% (p<0.01) and 93% (p<0.01) vs controls. The NO synthase inhibitor Nw-nitro-L-arginine (10−3 M) and the guanylate cyclase inhibitor methylene blue (10−5 M) respectively decreased the basal liver flow by 26% and 16% (p<0.05) and inhibited the vasodilating effects of L-arginine. L-arginine (10−3 M) increased nitrite concentration in hepatocyte culture (77.25±7.40 μmol · 1−1 vs 14.70±3.55 μmol · 1−1 in controls; p<0.01) and in liver endothelial cell culture (0.36±0.09 μmol · 1−1 vs 0.12±0.05 μmol · 1−1 in controls; p<0.05). Nw-nitro-L-arginine inhibited the basal production and abolished the L-arginine-induced production of nitrites both in hepatocyte and in liver endothelial cell cultures. The concentration of nitrites in the hepatocyte supernatant rose from 14.70±3.55 μmol−1 · 1− to 150.50±45.55 μmol · 1−1 in the presence of a combination of interleukin-1β, TNF a and interferon γ.Conclusions: Under basal conditions, NO regulates the vascular tone of liver circulation. Both liver endothelial cells and hepatocytes can be implicated. NO production by hepatocytes may increase during inflammation. 相似文献

Hollow alginate microfibers (od = 1.3 mm, id = 0.9 mm, th = 400 µm, L = 3.5 cm) comprised of 2% (w/v) medium molecular weight alginate cross-linked with 0.9 M CaCl2 were fabricated to model outward diffusion capture by 2D fluorescent microscopy. A two-fold comparison of diffusivity determination based on real-time diffusion of Fluorescein isothiocyanate molecular weight (FITC MW) markers was conducted using a proposed Fickian-based approach in conjunction with a previously established numerical model developed based on spectrophotometric data. Computed empirical/numerical (Dempiricial/Dnumerical) diffusivities characterized by small standard deviations for the 4-, 70- and 500-kDa markers expressed in m2/s are (1.06 × 10−9 ± 1.96 × 10−10)/(2.03 × 10−11), (5.89 × 10−11 ± 2.83 × 10−12)/(4.6 × 10−12) and (4.89 × 10−12 ± 3.94 × 10−13)/(1.27 × 10−12), respectively, with the discrimination between the computation techniques narrowing down as a function of MW. The use of the numerical approach is recommended for fluorescence-based measurements as the standard computational method for effective diffusivity determination until capture rates (minimum 12 fps for the 4-kDa marker) and the use of linear instead of polynomial interpolating functions to model temporal intensity gradients have been proven to minimize the extent of systematic errors associated with the proposed empirical method. 相似文献

AIM: To develop a mathematical model for the early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) with a panel of serum proteins in combination with α-fetoprotein(AFP).METHODS: Serum levels of interleukin(IL)-8, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1(s ICAM-1), soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor Ⅱ(s TNF-RⅡ), proteasome, and β-catenin were measured in 479 subjects categorized into four groups:(1) HCC concurrent with hepatitis C virus(HCV) infection(n = 192);(2) HCV related liver cirrhosis(LC)(n = 96);(3) Chronic hepatitis C(CHC)(n = 96); and(4) Healthy controls(n = 95). The R package and different modules for binary and multi-class classifiers based on generalized linear models were used to model the data. Predictive power was used to evaluate the performance of the model. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis over pairs of groups was used to identify the best cutoffs differentiating the different groups. RESULTS: We revealed mathematical models, based on a binary classifier, made up of a unique panel of serum proteins that improved the individual performance of AFP in discriminating HCC patients from patients with chronic liver disease either with or without cirrhosis. We discriminated the HCC group from the cirrhotic liver group using a mathematical model(-11.3 + 7.38 × Prot + 0.00108 × s ICAM + 0.2574 ×β-catenin + 0.01597 × AFP) with a cutoff of 0.6552, which achieved 98.8% specificity and 89.1% sensitivity. For the discrimination of the HCC group from the CHC group, we used a mathematical model [-10.40 + 1.416 × proteasome + 0.002024 × IL + 0.004096 × s ICAM-1 +(4.251 × 10-4) × s TNF + 0.02567 ×β-catenin + 0.02442 × AFP] with a cutoff 0.744 and achieved 96.8% specificity and 89.7% sensitivity. Additionally, we derived an algorithm, based on a binary classifier, for resolving the multi-class classification problem by using three successive mathematical model predictions of liver disease status. CONCLUSION: Our proposed mathematical model may be a useful method for the early detection of different statuses of liver disease co-occurring with HCV infection. 相似文献

Objective
We hypothesized that pretreatment with sivelestat therapy could attenuate ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and lung inflammation in a rat model.Methods
The neutrophil elastase inhibitor was administered intraperitoneally 30 min before and at the initiation of ventilation. The rats were categorized as (I) sham group; (II) VILI group; (III) sivelestat group; (IV) early sivelestat group. Wet-to-dry weight ratio, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) neutrophil and protein, tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) and histologic VILI scores were investigated.Results
The ratio of wet-to-dry weight, BALF neutrophil and protein, tissue MDA and VILI scores were significantly increased in the VILI group compared to the sham group [3.85±0.32 vs. 9.05±1.02, P<0.001; (0.89±0.93)×104 vs. (7.67±1.41)×104 cells/mL, P<0.001; 2.34±0.47 vs. 23.01±3.96 mg/mL, P<0.001; 14.43±1.01 vs. 36.56±5.45 nmol/mg protein, P<0.001; 3.78±0.67 vs. 7.00±1.41, P<0.001]. This increase was attenuated in the early sivelestat group compared with the sivelestat group [wet-to-dry ratio: 6.76±2.01 vs. 7.39±0.32, P=0.032; BALF neutrophil: (5.56±1.13)×104 vs. (3.89±1.05)×104 cells/mL, P=0.021; BALF protein: 15.57±2.32 vs. 18.38±2.00 mg/mL, P=0.024; tissue MDA: 29.16±3.01 vs. 26.31±2.58, P=0.049; VILI scores: 6.33±1.41 vs. 5.00±0.50, P=0.024].Conclusions
Pretreatment with a neutrophil elastase inhibitor attenuates VILI in a rat model. 相似文献20.

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a peri-operative bloodless medicine and surgery (BMS) protocol in reducing severe post-operative anaemia (haemoglobin [Hb] <7 g/dL) in Jehovah’s Witnesses undergoing cytoreductive surgery for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer.Materials and methodsThis was a single-institution retrospective study enrolling Jehovah’s Witnesses who underwent elective bloodless surgery for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer between October 2017 and April 2020. All patients followed a standardised bloodless medicine and surgery protocol based on ferric carboxymaltose and erythropoietin if indicated.ResultsTwenty-five patients with a mean age of 61.7 years (range, 35–80) were enrolled. Pre-operatively, ten patients (40%) were mildly anaemic (mean Hb of 10.2 g/dL [range, 9.2–11.4]) and received ferric carboxymaltose. Only four (16%) patients had severe anaemia after surgery (mean Hb of 6.1 g/dL [range, 4.1–6.9]) and received ferric carboxymaltose and erythropoietin. Compared to patients with a post-operative Hb ≥7 g/dL, those with Hb <7 g/dL had higher mean body mass index (25.8±1.8 vs 30.7±1.8 kg/m2; p<0.001), mean baseline CA125 (236.1±184.5 vs 783.7±273.5 IU/mL; p<0.001), median surgical complexity score (2 vs 10; p<0.001), and rate of post-operative complications (14.3 vs 100%; p<0.001). Moreover, these patients had a longer mean operating time (3.4±0.6 vs 5.5±0.4 h; p<0.001), duration of stay in hospital (5.5±0.7 vs 24.0±9.8 days; p<0.001), and time to adjuvant chemotherapy (27.2±2.6 vs 65.3±13.4 days; p<0.001).DiscussionThe use of a multidisciplinary bloodless medicine and surgery protocol is safe and effective in reducing the rate of severe post-operative anaemia and improving surgical and oncological outcomes of Jehovah’s Witnesses with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. Further large-scale, prospective studies are required to confirm these data. 相似文献
