肉苁蓉总苷对阿霉素所致小鼠心肌毒性的保护作用

目的：探讨肉苁蓉总苷（GCs)对阿霉素（Dox)所致小鼠心肌损害的保护作用及其机制。方法：选用NIH小鼠一次腹腔注射Dox(17.5mg/kg)造成急性心肌损伤模型，测定心肌超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性；硒－谷胱苷肽过氧化物酶（Se-GSH-Px)活性；丙二醛（MDA）含量及血清肌酸磷酸激酶（CPK）活性。电镜检查心肌细胞超微结构的改变。结果：腹腔注射Dox 48h后可致小鼠心肌明显损害，心肌SOD及Se-GSH-Px活性下降，MDA含量升高，血清中CPK的活性增强，同时出现心肌组织超微结构的损伤。GCs(62.5、125.0、250.0mg/kg）能增加心肌SOD、Se-GSH-Px活性，降低MDA含量，减少CPK释放，减轻心肌超微结构的损伤。结论：肉苁蓉总苷对阿霉素所致心肌损害有一定的保护作用，其机制可能与其保护心肌SOD及Se-GSH-Px活性及其清除自由基，防止脂质过氧化有关。     

超氧化物歧化酶和脂质过氧化物与溃疡病发病关系

目的：观察超氧化物歧化酶（ＳＯＤ）和脂质过氧化物（ＬＰＯ）在消化性溃疡（ＰＵ）治疗前后变化，以探索其对ＰＵ发病和愈合作用。方法：用ＳＵＮ法和于树玉法分别测定ＰＵ患者血及组织中铜锌超氧化物歧化酶（Ｃｕ ＺｎＳＯＤ）活性和ＬＰＯ含量。结果：１８０例十二指肠溃疡（ＤＵ）和４２例胃溃疡（ＧＵ）患者粘膜和红细胞中Ｃｕ ＺｎＳＯＤ活性比正常组显著降低（Ｐ＜０．０１～０．００１）。１３６例ＤＵ组织及血中和１５例ＧＵ组织中ＬＰＯ含量比正常组显著升高（Ｐ＜００１～０．００１）。用呋喃唑酮、雷尼替丁和洛赛克分别治疗５０、２０和２４例ＤＵ患者两周后组织中Ｃｕ ＺｎＳＯＤ活性比治疗前明显升高（Ｐ＜０．０１～０．００１）。组织中ＬＰＯ含量比治疗前明显降低（Ｐ＜０００５～０．００１）。组织和红细胞中Ｃｕ ＺｎＳＯＤ活性从活动期→愈合期→瘢痕期逐渐升高，而ＬＰＯ含量则逐渐降低。结论：粘膜组织中Ｃｕ ＺｎＳＯＤ活性和ＬＰＯ含量升降与消化性溃疡的愈合和发病密切相关。

某些降压药对血脂的影响

报道52例高血压病人服降压药双氢克尿噻、心得安、复方降压片和硝苯啶1～2月后血脂的变化,结果显示,双克(25～50mg/日)对血脂的主要影响是升高TG,加用心得安(30mg/日)后,TG升高幅度更大;TC有上升趋势,HDL-C变化较小。复降片(3片/日)对血脂的影响较大。不仅TG明显升高、TC也有明显升高,而HDL-C则有显著下降、HDL-C/TC比值下降也十分显著。硝苯啶(30mg/日)对血脂也产生不利影响,血TG浓度上升,TC浓度增加,而HDL-C变化不大。这种变化已被看作为对长期接受这些药物治疗的病人外加了一个致动脉粥样硬化的危险因素。     

Relationship of sperm superoxide dismutase-like activity with other sperm-specific enzymes and experimentally induced lipid peroxidation in infertile men

Summary. Superoxide dismutase-like activity (SOD-like), isoenzyme lactate dehydrogenase-C4 (LDH-C4) and NADH-diaphorase activities in spermatozoa have been investigated from 58 normozoospermic and 27 oligozoospermic men. Significantly higher SOD-like, LDH-C4 and diaphorase activities ( P <0.01, P <0.005 and P <0.0001, respectively) were detected in spermatozoa from oligozoospermic men, compared to the activities found in normozoospermic samples. SOD-like activity (mean±SE) in oligozoospermic samples amounted to 8.3±1.6 U 10⁻⁸ spermatozoa, while in spermatozoa in normozoospermic men with a sperm concentration above 20 million of spermatozoa per ml amounted to 4.2±0.5 U 10⁻⁸. There was a close correlation between the SOD-like activity and biochemical indicators of the presence of residual cytoplasm i.e. isoenzyme LDH-C4 and NADH-diaphorase (r = 0.53 and r = 0.66 in normozoospermic and r = 0.63 and r = 0.54 in oligozoospermic men, respectively). A positive relationship between SOD-like activity and experimentally-induced lipid peroxidation was detected in 54 infertile men (r = 0.30; P <0.05). These findings suggest that a higher level of superoxide dismutase-like activity may reflect a defect in the development or maturation of spermatozoa and, thereby, a decreased fertility potential. Hence, determination of SOD-like activity may give information on the state of maturity of human spermatozoa, while its role in the antioxidative protection remains to be determined.     

Selective sensitivity of synaptosomal membrane function to cerebral cortical hypoxia in newborn piglets

The effect of hypoxia on the structure and function of the synaptosomal membranes and myelin fraction (glial cells, neuronal cell bodies and axonal membranes) was investigated by measuring Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase activity and levels of lipid peroxidation products in cerebral cortical synaptosomal membranes and myelin fractions obtained from newborn piglets. Hypoxic hypoxia was induced and cerebral hypoxia was documented as a decrease in the ratio of phosphocreatine to inorganic phosphate (PCr/Oi) using³¹P-NMR spectroscopy. PCr/Pi decreased from baseline of2.93 ± 0.76to0.61 ± 0.36 during hypoxia. The synaptosomal membrane Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase activity decreased from a control value of56.6 ± 3.7to40.4 ± 6.0 μgmol Pi/mg protein/h during hypoxia. The level of conjugated dienes increased from zero (reference value) to4.5 ± 2.7 nmol/mg lipid and the level of fluorescent compounds increased from23.5 ± 2.2to92.6 ± 46.4 ng quinine sulfate/mg lipid in the synaptosomal membranes during hypoxia. No change in myelin fraction Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase activity or levels of lipid peroxidation products were noted. These data indicate that sunaptosomal membranes, rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, are more susceptible to oxygen free radical mediated lipid peroxidative damage during hypoxia.     

Andrology: Analysis of sperm movement in relation to the oxidative stress created by leukocytes in washed sperm preparations and seminal plasma

The addition of luminol to unprocessed semen samples resultedin the generation of chemiluminescent signals, the intensityof which was highly correlated with the level of leukocyte contamination.Despite the spontaneous oxidant-generating capacity of seminalleukocytes, no correlations were observed between leukocytecontamination and the fertility status of the subjects or anyaspect of the semen profile, including the motility of the spermatozoaor their performance in a hyaluronate penetration assay. Luminol-dependentchemiluminescence and leukocyte contamination were also correlatedin washed sperm suspensions prepared either by repeated centrifugationor on discontinuous Percoll gradients. However, in such spermsuspensions, the spontaneous generation of oxidants by contaminatingleukocytes (>2x10⁴ leukocytes/ml) was invariably associatedwith a decreased capacity for movement. Moreover, causativeassociations between leukocyte contamination, reactive oxygenspecies generation, lipid peroxidation and impaired sperm motilitywere revealed by experiments involving the selective additionor removal of activated leukocytes. From these observationswe can conclude that low concentrations of leukocytes are acommon feature of the human ejaculate and can impair sperm function,particularly in the absence of seminal plasma. These findingshave implications for our understanding of the importance ofleukocytospermia in defining the fertility of human spermatozoain vivo and in vitro.
