Protective effect of Pumpkin seed extract on sperm characteristics,biochemical parameters and epididymal histology in adult male rats treated with Cyclophosphamide

Cancer treatment with cyclophosphamide (CP) may result in reproductive toxicity as one of its side effects. The pumpkin seed is a rich natural source of antioxidant. We have assessed the possible protective efficacy of pumpkin seed extract on sperm characteristics, biochemical parameters and epididymal histology of CP‐treated rats. Male adult Wistar rats were categorised into four groups. Group 1 served as control and received intraperitoneal (IP) injection of isotonic saline solution. Group 2 rats were treated with CP by IP injection in a single dose of 100 mg/kg body weight, only once. Group 3 and 4 received CP plus 300 and 600 mg/kg pumpkin seed extract respectively. Six weeks after treatment, sperm characteristics, biochemical parameters and histopathological changes were examined. Results showed that, sperm characteristics in CP‐treated rats were significantly decreased. Biochemical analysis results showed that the co‐administration of 300 mg pumpkin seed extract could increase the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) level significantly. In CP‐treated rats, histopathological changes such as vacuolisation, disorganisation and separation of epididymal epithelium were observed as well. Interestingly, pumpkin seed extract could improve the above‐mentioned parameters remarkably in CP‐treated rats. Our findings indicated that pumpkin seed extract might be used as protective agent against CP‐induced reproductive toxicity.     

Effect of Human Placental Extract Treatment on Random-Pattern Skin Flap Survival in Rats

Background: Human placental extract (HPE), prepared from the placentas of healthy, postpartum females, displays various physiological activities, including antioxidative properties. In this study, a dorsal skin flap model was used to investigate the effect of HPE on flap viability in rats. Materials and methods: Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent random-pattern skin flap surgeries. The animals were randomly divided among a control group and three treatment groups (localized injection (LI), 10 mg/kg/d localized HPE injections; low-dose treatment (LT), 10 mg/kg/d systemic HPE injections; high-dose treatment (HT), 40 mg/kg/d systemic HPE injections). Surviving skin flap areas were measured 7 days after surgery and tissue samples were stained with hematoxylin and eosin; vascular endothelial growth factor expression was determined immunohistochemically. To evaluate the antioxidant and antiapoptotic effects of HPE, malondialdehyde, glutathione peroxidase, and caspase-3 levels were examined. Results: Seven days after surgery, HPE-treated animals had significantly reduced necrotic areas, rats receiving the highest HPE dose demonstrated the greatest flap survival. In the HPE groups, the histopathological scores were lower than for the control group. Immunohistochemistry showed markedly more numerous vascular endothelial growth factor-positive cells in the HT group than in the C group. Malondialdehyde levels were significantly lower and glutathione peroxidase levels were higher in the HT group than in the C group. HPE treatment significantly inhibited apoptosis by lowering caspase-3 activity. Conclusions: HPE treatment yielded positive effects on flap survival, due to its antioxidant and antiapoptotic properties. These results suggest a new therapeutic approach for enhancing flap viability and accelerating wound repair.     

垫状卷柏提取物诱导凋亡抗肿瘤作用研究

目的 研究垫状卷柏提取物抗肿瘤作用及相关机制。方法 采用皮下接种H22肝癌细胞株构建小鼠H22肝癌移植瘤模型,随机分为对照组（生理盐水）、5-FU组（30 mg/kg）、垫状卷柏提取物（SP）高、低剂量组（189、63 mg/kg）,连续灌胃15 d。观察小鼠肿瘤生长情况,计算抑瘤率及肝、脾、胸腺指数;TUNEL法观察肿瘤组织细胞凋亡,Western blot测定凋亡相关蛋白的表达,qPCR检测Bax mRNA和Bcl-2 mRNA。结果 与对照组比较,SP高、低剂量组小鼠体质量及肝、脾、胸腺指数均无显著差异;SP高、低剂量组小鼠的肿瘤质量均显著降低,呈现较高抑瘤率（P<0.01）,且高剂量组与5-FU组相近;经TUNEL染色法观察,可见明显凋亡形态改变。qPCR检测表明,SP显著上调Bax mRNA的表达,下调Bcl-2 mRNA的表达。Western blot结果显示SP处理后,Bax、cytochrome c及cleaved caspase-3,caspase-8和caspase-9的表达显著上调（P<0.01）,Bcl-2表达明显减弱,呈剂量依赖性。结论 SP有效抑制H22小鼠体内肿瘤生长,其机制与激活caspase诱导凋亡相关。
