移植肝缺血-再灌注损伤程度的评估及其与肝移植患者预后的关系

目的探讨移植肝缺血-再灌注损伤程度的评估方法及其与肝移植患者预后的关系。方法218例良性终末期肝病患者，在移植肝恢复血液灌注后1h采取外周静脉血，测定丙氨酸转氨酶浓度（定义为基础肝功能），同时采用组织气体分析仪测定肝组织的氧分压，并取肝组织活检，计算水变性及坏死细胞百分比，分别对上述3项指标进行评分，再根据各指标得分之和将缺血-再灌注损伤程度划分为5级（0～Ⅳ级），统计围手术期（术后2周内）、术后近期（术后2周至1个月）、术后中远期（1个月以上）的患者死亡率。结果移植肝缺血再灌注损伤程度评为0级者157例（A组），死亡7例（4．5％），71．4％（5／7）死于术后3-6个月；缺血-再灌注损伤程度评为Ⅰ级者25例（B组），死亡5例（20．0％），80．0％（4／5）死于术后2周至3个月；缺血-再灌注损伤程度评为Ⅱ级者23例（C组），死亡5例（21．7％），80．0％（4／5）死于术后2周至3个月；缺血-再灌注损伤程度评为Ⅲ级者8例（D组），死亡7例（87．5％），85．7％（6／7）死于术后1个月内；缺血-再灌注损伤程度评为Ⅳ级者5例（E组），全部死亡，80．0％（4／5）死于术后1个月内。A组各期死亡率明显低于B组、C组（P〈0．05）和D组、E组（P〈0．01）；B组、C组间各期死亡率的差异无统计学意义（P〉0．05）；B组、C组各期死亡率均低于D组、E组（P〈0．05）。结论基础肝功能、组织氧分压以及水变性和坏死细胞百分比三项指标可基本反映移植肝缺血-再灌注损伤程度；缺血-再灌注损伤评级达Ⅲ～Ⅳ级者术后死亡率较高。     

骨髓干细胞参与小鼠急性肾小管坏死修复的实验研究

【摘要】 目的 观察在生理和病理情况下,骨髓来源的干细胞(BMSC)能否分化成肾小管上皮细胞。 方法 绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)标记的C57BL/6转基因小鼠提供骨髓细胞。同种无荧光标记的C57BL/6小鼠100只分为正常对照组、全身照射组、缺血再灌注组、骨髓移植组、骨髓移植+缺血再灌注组。受体鼠的骨髓重建经血液常规检查和流式细胞仪检测确认,并采用荧光组织化学、免疫组织化学等方法观察绿色荧光标记的BMSC在受体鼠肾脏的分布及数量。 结果 全身致死剂量γ射线照射未造成小鼠肾脏组织结构和生理功能的明显改变。骨髓移植后第56、84天的受体鼠肾小管中有少量GFP阳性细胞的存在[(78.75±5.99)%、(79.58±4.60)%],激光共聚焦显微镜进一步证实这些细胞位于肾小管,并表达肾小管上皮细胞特异性的功能蛋白megalin。 结论 在生理和病理情况下,骨髓干细胞均可以向肾小管上皮细胞转分化,参与肾小管上皮细胞的更新,并且在急性肾小管坏死的病理条件下,骨髓干细胞的肾向转化率与肾脏受损程度有关。

Differences in arrhythmogenicity between the canine right ventricular outflow tract and anteroinferior right ventricle in a model of Brugada syndrome

BACKGROUND: The Brugada syndrome is characterized by ST-segment elevation on the ECG, especially in the right precordial leads sensitive to the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis that right ventricular electrophysiologic heterogeneity caused arrhythmogenicity in the Brugada syndrome. METHODS: Action potentials (APs) were mapped on the epicardium of 14 RVOT preparations and on the transmural surfaces of 15 pairs of RVOT and right ventricular anteroinferior (RVAI) preparations isolated from canine hearts. Brugada ECG and arrhythmias were induced with pilsicainide (2.5-12.5 micromol/L), pinacidil (1.25-12.5 micromol/L), and terfenadine (2.0 micromol/L). RESULTS: Low doses of drugs elevated the J-ST segment and induced APs with both short and long action potential durations (APDs) in contiguous RVOT epicardial regions. In addition, APs in the RVOT had a larger phase 1 notch and longer APD than in RVAI. The longest APDs were in the epicardium in RVOT but in the endocardium in RVAI regions. High doses of drugs eliminated the phase 2 dome of the AP and abbreviated APDs in the epicardium but not in endocardium and reduced the epicardial heterogeneity of APs but increased the transmural gradient of APD in 14 (93%) of the RVOT preparations. In contrast, abbreviations of epicardial APDs occurred in only 4 (27%) of the RVAI preparations. Ventricular tachycardia occurred more frequently in the RVOT (47%) than in paired RVAI preparations (7%). Blocking the transient outward current reduced the heterogeneity of APs and eliminated arrhythmogenicity in all preparations. CONCLUSION: Compared with the RVAI region, the RVOT has greater electrophysiologic heterogeneity that contributes to arrhythmogenicity in this model of Brugada syndrome.

Ascorbic acid prevents ischemia-reperfusion injury in the rat small intestine

Ischemia-reperfusion injury by free radicals and lipid peroxides is observed in various organs. Ascorbic acid (AsA) or glutathione (GSH) in various doses (AsA:2, 0.5, 0.1 mmol/kg, GSH:2 mmol/kg) was intraperitoneally administered to male Wistar rats. The entire small intestines were resected just before ischemia, after ischemia, and after 20 min of reperfusion (n = 7–10 at each time point). At each time point, the specimens were subjected to assays of lipid peroxides, GSH, and glutaminase activity of the tissues; they were also examined histologically. In the AsA group, the production of lipid peroxides after reperfusion was significantly suppressed in a dose-dependent manner, and the ratio of oxidized GSH to total GSH was also significantly low. Tissue glutaminase activity decreased to a lesser extent, and the degree of injury was apparently less marked in the AsA group. This study indicates that AsA acts as an antioxidant against peroxidative tissue injury, possibly by scavenging radicals, preserving reduced GSH, and reducing the peroxidative reaction.

Tyramine-Induced cardiac arrhythmias

Five out of 12 physically healthy patients with depression undergoing a tyramine pressor test developed cardiac arrhythmias. These arrhythmias occurred in drug-free patients in three out of 12 infusions following as little as 0.03 mg/kg of tyramine and after moclobemide, a reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase-A, in four out of 14 tyramine infusions with as little as 0.04 mg/kg of tyramine. The arrhythmias seen were independent of patient's age and occurred both before and after 30 mmHg elevations in systolic blood pressure. Electrocardiographic abnormalities and arrhythmias seen were a loss of p waves, sinus tachycardia, frequent atrial ectopic beats, atrial premature beats, Wenckebach phenomenon, junctional rhythm, ventricular ectopics, varying QRS configurations, and ventricular bigeminy. Tyramine, both oral and intravenous, caused similar reproducible changes in dogs, though not in rats, mice or guinea pigs. Practical implications are that tyramine pressor testing in humans should be performed cautiously and only with adequate cardiac monitoring and resuscitation facilities at hand. These findings suggest that a normal dietary component can induce serious cardiac arrhythmias, and that a low-tyramine diet may be of value for patients who are susceptible to cardiac arrhythmias.
