Neuroprotective effect of estrogen after chronic spinal cord injury in ovariectomized rats

BACKGROUND: At present, there is still lack of effective drugs for chronic spinal cord injury, whereas it is found recently that estrogen has a neuroprotective effect on brain and spinal cord injuries. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of estrogen on the apoptosis of nerve cells after gradual chronic spinal cord injury in ovariectomized rats. DESIGN: A randomized controlled animal trial. SETTING: Institute of Orthopaedics, the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University. MATERIALS: Sixty-five female Wistar rats of common degree, weighing 220–250 g, were provided by the experimental animal center of Lanzhou University. The rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group (n =5), estrogen-treated group (n =30) and saline control group (n =30), and the latter two groups were observed at 1, 3, 7, 14, 28 and 60 days respectively, and 5 rats for each time point. METHODS: All the rats were treated with bilateral oophorectomy 2 weeks before the experiment. T10 vertebral lamina was revolved into using plastic screw. The spinal canal impingement was not induced initially. After that, the original incision was opened to expose the screw every 7–10 days. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The apoptosis and Caspase-3 positive cells in the damaged spinal cord were detected using terminal deoxynucleotidal transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) method and Caspase-3 immunohistochemical staining at 1, 3, 7, 14, 28 and 60 days after chronic spinal cord injury respectively. RESULTS: Totally 65 rats were used, and the deleted ones during the experiment were supplemented by others. Changes of Caspase-3 expression after spinal cord injury: In the sham-operated group, only a small amount of Caspase-3 proteins were observed in the rat spinal cord, mainly located in motor neurons of spinal cord anterior horn. In the estrogen-treated group and saline control group, positive cells expressed occasionally at 1 day postoperatively, began to increase obviously at 7 days after injury, strongly expressed at 14 and 28 days, but decreased at 60 days, mainly located in the neurons of spinal cord gray matter anterior horn, and they expressed fewer in the motor neurons and white matter of ventral horn, and there were obvious differences between the estrogen-treated group and saline control group at 7, 14, 28 and 60 days (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Estrogen can reduce the apoptosis of nerve cells and promote the recovery of neurological function following gradual chronic spinal cord injury.

Pyruvate-modified perfadex improves lung function after long-term hypothermic storage.

BACKGROUND: Lungs harvested for transplantation are stored while inflated with oxygen, which can serve to support oxidative metabolism. However, strategies aimed at increasing graft metabolism during storage have received little attention. In this study, we added pyruvate to the preservation solution Perfadex and measured the effects on oxidative metabolism and reperfusion lung function. METHODS: Rat lungs were stored for 6 and 24 hours in low-potassium dextran solution at 10 degrees C containing either 5 mmol/liter uniformly carbon-13 (U-(13)C) labeled glucose (Perfadex), 32 mmol/liter 3-(13)C pyruvate (pyruvate), or both (combined). Oxidation of exogenous substrates was measured as the incorporation of (13)C into tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates by magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Additional groups of lungs with each substrate modification were preserved for 6 or 24 hours and then reperfused. RESULTS: Enrichment of tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates was low in the Perfadex group (9% at 6 hours and 32% at 24 hours of storage, respectively). In contrast, enrichment was significantly increased in both the pyruvate group (50% and 59%, respectively) and combined group (39% and 54%, respectively) compared with the Perfadex group (p<0.01). Graft function was excellent after 6-hour storage in all groups. All lungs stored for 24 hours exhibited inferior lung function, but oxygenation, pulmonary artery pressures, and airway pressures in the combined group were significantly improved compared with the Perfadex group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Preservation solution substrate composition influences graft metabolism during storage. The addition of pyruvate to Perfadex increases metabolism during storage and improves reperfusion lung function.

Study of pathological morphology in chronic sinusitis]

OBJECTIVE: To study the pathological characteristics and regularity of chronic sinusitis (CS) in different clinical types, tc estimate the reliability and feasibility of CS classification on the pathologic basis. METHODS: HE, Van Gieson's, alcian blue-periodic acid-schiff(AB-PAS) staining was used to observe the changes of epithelium, to measure the thickness of basement membrane and the area of mucous glands. The ultrastructural changes of pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium were observed under transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). RESULTS: The epithelial fiber tissue was increased, the basement membrane was thickened, and the mucous glands were obviously increased in CS under the light microscope. Subepithelial fibrosis and thickened basement membrane were most obviously seen in type III of CS and the hyperplasia of mucous glands was most distinct in type II. Under the TEM, abnormal structure of cilia, decrease of ciliated cells, increase of goblet cells were detected in all three CS types. Under the SEM, the cilia of every types showed the ingravescenced process of pathological changes from slight cilium disorder, disorientation, to desquamation of most cilia and replacement of microvilli. CONCLUSION: There is significant distinction of mucous membrane structure among three types. The Chinese classification of CS has pathological basis, it represents the occurrence, development and regularity of CS, and it can be used as basis in further study, communication and evaluation for surgical effect of CS.

Elevated concentrations of CRF in the locus coeruleus of depressed subjects.

Research evidence that corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) plays a role in the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD) has accumulated over the past 20 years. The elevation of lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of CRF decreased responsiveness of pituitary CRF receptors to challenge with synthetic CRF, and increased levels of serum cortisol in MDD subjects support the hypothesis that CRF is chronically hypersecreted in at least the endocrine circuits of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and may also involve other CRF brain circuits mediating emotional responses and/or arousal. One such circuit includes the excitatory CRF input to the locus coeruleus (LC), the major source of norepinephrine in the brain. Furthermore, there are now reports of decreased levels of CRF in lumbar CSF from MDD patients after symptom relief from chronic treatment with antidepressant drugs or electroconvulsive therapy. Whether this normalization reflects therapeutic effects on both endocrine- and limbic-associated CRF circuits has not yet been effectively addressed. In this brief report, we describe increased concentrations of CRF-like immunoreactivity in micropunches of post-mortem LC from subjects with MDD symptoms as established by retrospective psychiatric diagnosis compared to nondepressed subjects matched for age and sex.
