Tempol reduces reperfusion-induced arrhythmias in anaesthetized rats.

The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) contributes to reperfusion-induced arrhythmias. In the present study, the antiarrhythmic effects of tempol and tiron, two membrane-permeable radical scavengers, on reperfusion-induced arrhythmias in rats in vivo were investigated. The anaesthetized rats were subjected to 5 min of left descending coronary artery (LAD) occlusion followed by 30 min of reperfusion. All rats pretreated with saline developed ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) at the onset of reperfusion, and most of the rats died from irreversible VF at the end of reperfusion. However, pretreatment with tempol (30 or 100 mg kg(-1)) 5 min before reperfusion reduced mortality, arrhythmia score and the incidence and duration of VT and VF. In the rats pretreated with high dose of tempol (100 mg kg(-1)), no VF happened and all rats were alive at the end of the experiment. The arrhythmia score was also significantly decreased compared with that of rats pretreated with saline (0.80 +/- 0.4 versus 5.6 +/- 0.4, P < 0.01). Tiron also provided nearly complete protection against reperfusion-induced arrhythmias when given 2 min before reperfusion. On the other hand, intravenous administration of tempol induced decreases in mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and pressure rate index (PRI), a relative indicator of myocardial oxygen consumption. In order to determine whether the antiarrhythmic effects of tempol were secondary to the reduction of myocardial oxygen consumption, continuous electrical stimulation of the aortic depressor nerve (3 V, 10 ms and 10 Hz) was carried out in a group of rats to induce decreases in MAP, HR and PRI similar to those in the high dose of Tempol group. However, these rats did not show significant changes in the severity of reperfusion-induced arrhythmias. We conclude that both tempol and tiron significantly reduce reperfusion-induced arrhythmias in rats, and this protective action is independent of hemodynamic effects.     

Expression of immunoregulatory cytokines in neurons of the lateral hypothalamic area and amygdaloid nuclear complex of rats immunized against human IgG

Present results showed that interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6 and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) were constitutively expressed in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the rat hypothalamus. Immunoreactive cells were also detected, but to a lesser extent, in other parts of hypothalamus as well as in the cerebral cortex. In rats immunized with IgG, there was moderate increase in immunoreactivities of the cytokines. A notable feature, however, was the induction of the cytokine expression in the lateral hypothalamic area and the amygdaloid nuclear complex, suggesting that the neurons in these two areas are involved in possible immune regulation.     

老年人结膜囊细菌状况及药物敏感实验

目的:为了有效的预防术后眼内炎,对目前老年人结膜囊的细菌状况和对抗生素的敏感率进行评估。方法:北京市老年人(81.5±10.2)岁165眼,常规眼科检查除外眼前段,眼表面炎性疾患,行结膜囊细菌培养,对培养阳性者行细菌分离培养和药物(常用的16种抗生素)敏感实验;滴3g/L氧氟沙星滴眼液1wk,再培养。结果:首次培养阳性率为21.2%(35/165),第二次阳性率为7.3%(12/165)。首次培养中共41个菌株,11个菌种。葡萄球菌属最多,共27株(70.7%),其中表皮样葡萄球菌19株(46.3%),金黄色葡萄球菌7株(17.1%)。次之为棒状杆菌5株(12.3%)。万古霉素对G 菌全部敏感,亚胺培南对G-菌极敏感,头孢菌素和喹喏酮类药物耐药菌株增多,敏感率63.6%～78.8%。结论:术前滴抗生素眼液可显著减少结膜囊的细菌(P <0.01),但是不能达到完全无菌状态。目前头孢菌素和喹喏酮类药物耐药菌株增多,但仍可做为防治眼部感染和眼内炎的主要药物。

Vascular endothelial growth factor expressing mesenchymal stem cells improves cardiac function in chronic myocardial infarction in pigs

Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells （MSCs） for myocardial reconstruction has shown promise in both animal models and human phase 1 clinical studies. Vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） is a strong therapeutic agent for treating ischaemia by inducing angiogenesis. The feasibility of ex vivo MSCs mediated gene transfer is documented. Matsumoto and colleagues have recently reported genetically engineered MSCs carrying VEGF165 delivery for revascularization in a model of acute myocardial infarction （MI）. The promising data from our laboratory in both angiogenesis and MSCs transplantation in cunicular heart model of acute MI have prompted us to attempt the combined and simultaneous application of the two strategies.
