两种隐匿阴茎大鼠模型的建立及比较

目的:建立稳定的大鼠隐匿阴茎模型,为探索阴茎包埋对海绵体结构和功能的影响提供实验动物模型。方法:90只2周龄雄性SD大鼠随机均分为A、B、C3组,A组采用阴茎根部内荷包缝合法,B组采用包皮折叠缝合法包埋阴茎,C组为假手术组。在180d内观察两种方法的包埋效果。结果:A组术后4只死于急性尿潴留,5只因尿道口周围软组织感染、皮肤破溃导致包埋失败,3只因包埋过松阴茎伸出;B组术后1只死于麻醉,2只死于急性尿潴留;因阴茎发育和勃起,A组有7只、B组有10只阴茎伸出;C组1只死于麻醉。A组和B组中其余大鼠均有较好的包埋效果,A组包埋成功率为36.7%,B组为56.7%,而且可以在实验中任何时候解除包埋。结论:包皮折叠缝合法和阴茎根部内荷包缝合法均能建立稳定的、且与人类隐匿阴茎自然病程较为一致的2周龄大鼠隐匿阴茎动物模型。     

兔肢体爆炸伤合并海水浸泡后在不同复温速率及维持浅低体温下机体炎症反应的特征

Objective To investigate effects of different rewarming rates and maintenance of light hypothermia on inflammatory response in rabbits after limb blast injury, coupled with seawater immersion. Methods First, the model of limb blast injury coupled with seawater immersion was reproduced [the animals were immersed to low body temperature of (31.0±0.5℃)]. Then, 24 adult rabbits were randomly divided into group Ⅰ [the rapid rewarming group, n=6, rewarmed to (38±0.5)℃ at a rate of (8.94±0.93)℃/h], group Ⅱ [the slow rewarming group, n=6, rewarmed to (38±0.5)℃ at a rate of (3.88±0.22)℃/h], group Ⅲ [another slow rewarming group, n=6, rewarmed to (38±0.5)℃ at a rate of (2.18±0.12)℃/h], and the H group [the hypothermia group, n =6, rewarmed to (34 - 35)℃ at a rate of (4.49±0.66)℃/h and kept at that temperature till termination of the experiment]. Regulation of ambient temperature and warm transfusion were used to restore body temperature to target levels and maintained there for 6 hours. Blood samples were taken at 5 different times, I.e. Pre-injury time(T0), post-immersion time (T1), the time when rewarming started (T2), 3 h after rewarming (T3), and 6 h after rewarming (T4). Tissue samples from heart, liver, intestinum, lung and kidney were also collected. Levels of TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-α), IL-1β (interleukin-1β) and IL-6 (interleukin-6) in plasma and MPO (myeloperoxidase) in homogenate were detected. Results Following rewarming, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 concentrations in the plasma of the animals in group Ⅰ and group H were significantly higher when compared with those of the animals in group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ (P<0.05, P<0.01), and MPO activity in homogenate was significantly higher when compared with that of the animals in group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ(P<0.01, P<0.05), and no statistical difference could be seen between group Ⅱ and Ⅲ (P>0.05). Conclusions Rapid rewarming and maintenance of light hypothermia could obviously elevate TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 concentrations in plasma and MPO activity in homogenate, following limb blast injury coupled with hypothermia induced by seawater immersion, while slow rewarming (with a rewarming rate of 2-4℃/h) could significantly inhibit TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 levels and PMN activity.

Downregulation of osteoblast markers and induction of the glial fibrillary acidic protein by oncostatin M in osteosarcoma cells require PKCdelta and STAT3.

The effects of OSM on proliferation and differentiation of osteosarcoma and nontransformed osteoblasts were analyzed. OSM downregulates osteoblast markers but induces the glial fibrillary acidic protein by the combined activation of PKCdelta and STAT3, offering new lines of therapeutic investigations. INTRODUCTION: Oncostatin M (OSM) is a multifunctional cytokine of the interleukin-6 family implicated in embryonic development, differentiation, inflammation, and regeneration of various tissues, mainly the liver, bone, and the central nervous and hematopoietic systems. One particularity of OSM relies on its growth inhibitory and pro-differentiating effects on a variety of tumor cell lines such as melanoma, providing arguments for a therapeutic application of OSM. The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of OSM on osteosarcoma cell lines proliferation and differentiation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Proliferation was analyzed by 3H thymidine incorporation. Differentiation was analyzed by semiquantitative RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry for various markers. Alizarin red S staining was used to evaluate bone nodule formation. Morphological changes were studied by confocal and electron microscopy. Western blotting, kinases inhibitors, and dominant negative STAT3 were used to identified the signaling pathways implicated. RESULTS: OSM inhibits the growth of rat osteosarcoma cell lines as well as normal osteoblasts, in correlation with induction of the cyclin-dependent kinases inhibitor p21WAF1. However, OSM reduces osteoblast markers such as alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, and bone sialoprotein, leading to strong inhibition of mineralized nodule formation. This inhibitory effect is restricted to mature osteoblasts and differentiated osteosarcoma because OSM effectively stimulates osteoblast markers and bone nodule formation in early, but not late, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) cultures. In osteosarcoma cells or BMSC, OSM induces expression of the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) as well as morphological and ultrastructural changes, for example, elongated shape and bundles of microfilaments in cell processes. Rottlerin (PKCdelta inhibitor), and to a lesser degree UO126 (MEK/ERK inhibitor), prevents the loss of osteoblastic markers by OSM, whereas dominant negative STAT3 prevents GFAP induction. CONCLUSIONS: These results highlight the particular gene expression profile of OSM-treated osteosarcoma cells and BMSCs, suggesting either a osteocytic or a glial-like phenotype. Together with the implication of PKCdelta, ERK1/2, and STAT3, these results offer new lines of investigations for neural cell transplantation and osteosarcoma therapy.

Adrenocortical carcinoma and sudden death

A 26-year-old man who presented with a 2-year history of intermittent gynecomastia with recent onset of fever, night sweats, and abdominal distension was found to have a left-sided adrenocortical carcinoma with metastases to the liver and spine. Sudden death occurred 1 month after his presentation. At autopsy a saddle pulmonary thromboembolus was found occluding the pulmonary outflow tract, with smaller more peripheral pulmonary thromboemboli. No tumor deposits were identified in the thromboemboli. The thromboemboli had arisen from a tongue of tumor that had grown through the left adrenal vein into the inferior vena cava. Despite a high rate of angio-invasion there are very few reports of sudden death resulting from this phenomenon in patients with adrenocortical carcinoma.
