单侧隐睾大鼠对侧睾丸组织中SCF/c-kit基因表达变化及意义

Objective To investigate the pathologic changes and expressions of SCF and c-kit in the contralateral testes in rat model of unilateral cryptorchidism. Methods Thirty male SD rats were maintained under controlled temperature and constant photoperiodic conditions with access to food and water. The rats were randomly assaigned to the control group and the experimental unilateral cryptorchidism group. The left testis of the rats in the unilateral cryptorchidism group was placed into the abdominal cavity. The control group rats were subjected to sham surgery. Three months later, the rats were sacrificed and their right testes were harvested. The pathological changes were observed under microscope. The mRNA and protein expression of SCF and c-kit were also investigated using quantitative Real-time RT-PCR, Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining. Apoptotic germ cells were detected by TUNEL staining. Results All rats survived to the endpoints. The right testes of rats of the unilateral cryptorichid group were smaller than those of the control group. Normal testes of the control group rats manifested active spermatogenesis and orderly arrangement of germ cells.However, disordered and sloughed germinal cells with less distinct seminiferous tubule borders were observed in the contralateral testes of rats with experimental unilateral cryptorichid under the microscope. Cmpared with the control testes, the mRNA and protein expression of SCF and c-kit of the contralateral testes of rats with experimental unilateral cryptorichid was decreased (P＜0.05). The apoptotic germ cells were increased (19.7±3.83 vs 5. 4 ± 1.02, P＜0. 05). The SCF/c-kit expression was positively correlated with the germ cell apoptosis (P＜0. 01 ). Conclusions The decreased expression of SCF and c-kit and increased germ cell apoptosis are found in the contralateral testes, which may contribute to thc infertility in the rat model of experimental unilateral cryptorchidism.     

白藜芦醇甙对缺氧缺血性脑损伤新生大鼠学习记忆和海马突触素表达的影响

Objective To explore the protective effects and possible mechanisms of Polydatin (PD)on hypoxic-ischemia brain injury(HIBD) in neonatal rat by means of spatial learning memory and the expression of synaptophysin in hippocampal CA1. Methods Thirty-seven neonatal SD rats were divided into 3 groups at random: normal sham-operated group( no hypoxia and ischemia); HIBD group( no medication) ;PD treatment group. 7-old-day rat' s model of HIBD was established by left carotid artery ligation and 2 h hypoxia. Morris water maze test was used to evaluate cognitive function in the rats after 28-day-old( 21-day later after HI). Immunohistochemical method was used to measure the expression of synaptophysin after the end of Morris water maze test. Results Morris water maze results showed that the mean escape latency of the shamgroup (SG) ,HIBD group (HIBD) and PD treatment group (PD) were (39. 55 ±8. 08) s, (52. 37 ±8.03) s and (43.29 ± 7. 63 ) s respectirely. For PD and SG, the mean escape latency was significantly shorter than the HIBD (P ＜0.05). After training,the mean escape latency in the three groups of rats was shortened gradually. The frequency of platform crossings were 5. 29 ±2.62、2. 36 ± 1.80、4. 25 ± 1. 66 in the SG,HIBD and PD respectirely. The frequency of platform crossings in PD was higher than that of HIBD ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). The swimming time in target quadrant were ( 15.74 ± 3.85) s, ( 10. 63 ± 3.66) s and ( 14. 32 ± 2. 52 ) s in SG, HIBD and PD respectirely. For HIBD ,the swimming time in target quadrant was significantly shorter comparing to SG and PD ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). The expression of synaptophys in hippocampal CA1 in PD ( 0. 295 2 ± 0. 044 3 )were evidently higher than that in the HIBD group (0.261 2 ±0.032 3) at 3 week after operation (P ＜0. 05). Conclusion Spatial learning memory deficits and the decrease of synaptophys in hippocampal CA1 could be induced by hypoxic-ischemia. Polydatin could improve the learning and memory ability in neonatal rats following hypoxic-ischemia brain damage. The mechanisms of improvement with Polydatin treatment is associated with the enhancement of expression of synaptophys.     

胎羊单侧输尿管不完全性梗阻后肾脏足细胞表型转化及PAX2、VEGF的表达

Objective To investigate the phenotypic change of the podocytes and paired box gene 2 (PAX2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expressions in fetal lambs' kidneys with unilateral partial ureteral obstruction. Methods Sixteen fetal lambs were randomly assigned to the obstruction and control group. The obstruction group included 12 lambs, whose superior segment ureters were tied with splited silastic tube to induce unilateral partial ureteral obstruction between 75and 85 gestational days. The control group had 4 fetal lambs subjected to sham operation. After birth,the kidneys of the lambs were harvested to study the phenotypic change of the podocytes as well as expressions of PAX2 and VEGF in the kidneys. Results Nine out of the 12 lambs of the obstruction group were delivered alive. All 4 sham operated lambs were delivered alive. Renal cortex cysts of varying sizes, interstitial fibrosis, a decrease in glomeruli number, and severe podocyte foot process fusion (4. 20± 1.08% vs 86. 79 ± 1.66%) were found in the obstructed kidneys compared with the control kidneys. The PAX2 expression in obstructed kidneys was significantly higher than that of the control kidneys (1.43 ± 0. 09 vs 2. 44 ± 0. 09, P＜0. 05). The VEGF expression was significantly decreased compared with the control kidneys (0. 80 ± 0. 15 vs 0. 33 ± 0. 14, P＜0. 05). Conclusions The changes of the phenotype and PAX2 and VEGF expressions may play roles in the pathogenesis of obstructive nephropathy.

Objective To explore the therapeutical effect of somatostatin(SST) on the damaged bowel barrier of 7-day-old SD rats with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE). Methods Total 7-day-old SD rats were randomly divided into untreated control group(n=6), sham-operated group(n = 6), HIE model group(n = 8) and SST-treated group(n = 8). After 6 hours of operation, abdominal aorta blood of the rats was collected to measure the level of D-lactic acid, the ileum was taken for pathological analysis and immunohistochemistry staining of SP. Results The level of D-lactic acid in HIE model group was obviously increased[(10.30 ± 1.70)mg/L], and there were significant differences compared to untreated control group, sham-operated group as well as SST-treated group respectively(P < 0.05, respectively). The cillia of ileum became widen and shorten, and the number of it decreased. At the same time, in the stratum mucosa and the neurofibrillary tangle, the expression of SP was increased (average optical density: 12.67 ± 5.46), and there were significant differences compared to untreated control group, sham-operated group as well as SST-treated group raspectively (P < 0.05,respectively).Compared with HIE model group,the level of D-lactic aeid decreased obviously[(7.35 ± 1.55) mg/L] in SST-treated group,and there were no differences compared to untreated control group and sham-operated group respectively. The intestinal villi became thinner and higher in the SST-treated group, even the number increased. Besides that, the expression of SP decreased(average optical density: 0.73 ± 0.09), and there were no differences compared to untreated control group and sham-operated group respectively. Conclusion The therapeutical effect of SST on the bowel barrier damage of 7-day-old SD rats with HIE is clear.
