Methods Sixteen Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly selected, and deep partial-thickness burn with 20% of the body surface was inflicted. The rats were randomly divided into experimental group and control group with eight in each group. Rats in the experimental group were treated with abdominal injection of Shenfu injection at a dose of 20 mL/(kg?d) for five days continually, and rats in the control group were treated with the same dose of 0.9% saline solution. The growth of granulation tissue and collagen fibers were evaluated under light microscope at the seventh and the fourteenth day. The growth of fibroblast was observed under transmission electron microscope at the fourteenth day. The cure rate of both groups of rats at the seventh and fourteenth day was calculated. Then we compared their healing time and the cure rate of the traumatic wound respectively. Results All rats had survived until wound healing. The cure rate at the seventh day for the experimental group and the control group was (36.34±2.55)% and (33.13±2.62)%, and their difference was statistical (t=2.486, P=0.027); At the fourteenth day, the cure rate was respectively (75.71±2.29)% and (72.36±2.85)% with a significant difference between each other (t=2.590, P=0.022). The healing time of the experimental group (20.88±1.36) was significantly shorter than that of the control group (22.9±2.16) (t=-2.286, P=0.040). At the seventh and fourteenth day, light microscope observation showed that the growth of granulation tissue and collagen fibers for rats in the experimental group were much more than that in the control group, the basale cell proliferation was more active, and inflammation was slighter. Through transmission electron microscope, we observed more fibroblast and collagen in the experimental group, which showed a better cure than the control group. Conclusion Shenfu injection can significantly promote wound healing of deep partial-thickness burn. It may possibly get this effect through anti-oxidation.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of CoQ10 for idiopathic oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (iOAT). MethodsWe searched databases including PubMed, EMbase, MEDLINE, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data from inception to May 31th 2016 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on CoQ10 in the treatment of iOAT. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsSeven RCTs involving 803 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed, compared with the control group, the CoQ10 group could significantly increase sperm concentration (MD=3.37, 95%CI 0.68 to 6.05, P=0.01), the number of A grade spermatozoa (MD=5.06, 95%CI 3.84 to 6.28, P < 0.000 01), the number of A+B grade spermatozoa (MD=7.72, 95%CI 4.19 to 11.26, P < 0.000 1), the rate of morphologically normal sperm (MD=1.89, 95%CI 0.63 to 3.16, P=0.003) and sperm coenzyme Q10 level (MD=40.02, 95%CI 24.73 to 55.31, P < 0.000 01), while not improve the levels of serum sex hormone (FSH: MD=–3.48, 95%CI –5.17 to –1.79, P < 0.000 1; LH: MD=–3.23, 95%CI –7.55 to 1.08, P=0.14; T: MD=0.45, 95%CI –3.31 to 4.20, P=0.82). No significant difference in adverse event was noted between two groups. ConclusionThe evidence suggests that CoQ10 as empiric medical therapy for iOAT with low non-serious adverse event associated, may improve sperm concentration and percent sperm motility. However, the strength of evidence is low due to high risk of bias of the included studies. More rigorous studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of thermosensitive hydrogel containing curcumin-vitamin E (VE) complex (hereinafter referred to as “curcumin-VE hydrogel”) on radiation-induced oral mucositis in mice. Methods Curcumin-VE hydrogel was prepared using the synthesized curcumin-VE complex as the carrier and poloxam as the substrate. The structure of curcumin-VE complex was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, the microstructure of curcumin-VE hydrogel was determined by scanning electron microscope, and the gelation temperature was determined by rheometer, gel swelling and degradation were tested and gel adhesion was determined using a universal testing machine. Thirty healthy male BALB/C mice with specific pathogen free grade were randomly divided into three groups, with ten mice in each group. The radiation group and radiation+hydrogel group were modeled by a single high dose of radiation (25 Gy), while the control group had anesthesia but no radiation. The control group and radiation group were given daily feed and water 7 days after radiation. In addition to daily feed and water, the radiation+hydrogel group was given curcumin-VE hydrogel twice a day. The mice were sacreficed on the 8th day after radiation. The weight changes of each group were recorded after radiation. The ulceration area of tongue was measured by toluidine blue. The tongue of mouse were pathologically observed. The activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase and the level of malondialdehyde in tongue tissue were determined. The levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 in tongue tissue were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The distribution and positive expression of phosphorylated histone H2AX (γ-H2AX) and nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 were determined by immunohistochemistry. Results Curcumin-VE hydrogel had a porous network structure and the gelation temperature was 30℃, the swelling rate was close to 300%, the gel degradation rate was up to 95% after 48 h, and the adhesion strength was 12.748 kPa. Compared with the radiation group, the weight of mice in the radiation+hydrogel group increased (P<0.05), the ulcer area decreased (P<0.05); the activity of CAT increased (P<0.05); the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 decreased (P<0.05); the expression of γ-H2AX was down-regulated (P<0.05). Conclusion Curcumin-VE hydrogel can delay or weaken the process of radiation-induced oral mucositis by reducing the DNA damage caused by radiation, inhibiting the production of reactive oxygen species, and effectively reducing the level of inflammation in tongue tissue.
Objective To review the treatment methods and techniques of ischemia-reperfusion injury of flap. Methods Recent basic research l iterature concerning ischemia-reperfusion injury of flap was reviewed and analyzed in terms of treatment techniques. Results Ischemia-reperfusion injury is one of the leading causes of flap necrosis postoperatively. Interventions against any l ink of the ischemia-reperfusion injury progress could effectively reduce the damageand improve the survival rate of flaps. Conclusion Including production of reactive oxygen species, neutrophil infiltrationetc are thought to be the main mechanisms of ischemia-reperfusion injury. Treatment including medicine administration and physical intervention against any specific l ink of ischemia-reperfusion injury can interfere or block the whole progress, which reduce the damage of ischemia-reperfusion injury and improve the survival rate of animal flap models eventually.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of anti-oxidative treatment in cats with pancreaticobiliary maljunction. Methods Thirteen healthy cats as control group were made a model that resembling the common channel of pancreaticobiliary maljunction as in humans，and were divided randomly into two groups：7 cats in untreated group were not treated，6 cats in anti-oxidative group were treated with melatonin，vitamin C， and vitamin E. Six months later， the gallbladders of these animals were removed and histopathological changes were evaluated by pathological and electron microscopic examination. The level of MDA，amylase concentration in the gallbladder bile，and percentage of proliferating cell nuclear antigen （PNCA） positive cells were also test. Results All cats had survived for 6 months after operation. The wall of gallbladder and the bile became thicker in untreated group than that in normal control group， and there were no significant differences between untreated group and anti-oxidative group. The gallbladder epithelium became villous in appearance in untreated group，although the epithelium of that in normal control group was flat with few folds. The epithelial cells of gallbladder arranged tightly in normal control group， while a significant change such as endoplasmic reticulum expanding， intercellular space broadening， and cellular nucleus deforming were observed in untreated group. The things in anti-oxidative group were better than untreated group. The amylase concentration in the gallbladder bile was （203.02±65.04）U in normal control group，（9 368.09±2 204.42） U in untreated group， and（8 746.25±2 077.95） U in anti-oxidative group， respectively. The amylase concentration in untreated group and anti-oxidative group were higher than that in normal control group （P=0.003），and there was no significant difference between the untreated group and anti-oxidative group （P=0.642）. The percentage of PNCA positive cells was （7.29±2.70）% in normal control group，（54.71±10.90）% in untreated group, and （48.17±13.06）% in anti-oxidative group， respectively （F=48.11，P=0.001），and the percentage of PNCA positive cells in untreated group was higher than that in anti-oxidative group （P=0.001）. The level of MDA was （1.095±0.653） nmol/mg prot in normal control group，（2.745±1.533） nmol/mg prot in untreated group, and （1.302±0.771） nmol/mg prot in anti-oxidative group， respectively （F=5.17，P=0.017）, and the level of MDA in untreated group was higher than that in anti-oxidative group （P=0.017）. Conclusion The anti-oxidative treatment is effective to pancreaticobiliary maljunction.
Objective To investigate the protective effect of melatonin on rat liver injury induced by bile duct ligation. Methods Sixty-four rats were randomly divided into four groups：control group （CN group， n=16）， shamoperation group （SO group， n=16）， bile duct ligation group （BDL group， n=16）， and bile duct ligation with melatonin injection （BDL＋MT group， n=16）. The model of obstructive jaundice was done by ligation of the common bile duct. Melatonin was injected daily （0.5 mg/kg） via peritoneal cavity from 1 d before the operation to 7 d following oper-ation. On day 4 and 8 after the ligation， the plasma levels of total bilirubin （TBIL）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， gamma glutamyl transferase （GGT）， and alkaline phosphatase （AKP） were measured by routine methods. Malonaldehyde （MDA）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， glutathione （GSH）， catalase （CAT）， and glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px） in the liver tissue were determined by spectrophtometry， too. Hepatocytes apoptosis was analyzed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxynuridine triphosphate nick-end labeling （TUNEL） assay. Results Compared with the CN group and SO group， the levels of TBIL， ALT， AST， GGT， and AKP in the plasma， the content of MDA in the liver tissue， and the apoptosis index （AI） in the hepatocyte markedly increased （P＜0.05， P＜0.01）， the content of GSH and the activities of SOD， CAT， and GSH-Px in the liver tissue markedly decreased（P＜0.01） in the BDL group. Compared with the BDL group， the levels of TBIL， ALT， AST， GGT， and AKP in the plasma， the content of MDA in the liver tissue， and the AI in the hepatocyte markedly decreased （P＜0.01）， the content of GSH and the activities of SOD， CAT， and GSH-Px in the liver tissue markedly increased （P＜0.01） in the BDL＋MT group. In the BDL group， the level of MDA in the liver tissue and the levels of TBIL， ALT， AST， GGT， and AKP were positively correlated （P＜0.01）， the content of GSH and the activities of SOD， CAT， and GSH-Px in the liver tissue and TBIL， ALT， AST， GGT， and AKP were negatively correlated （P＜0.01）. The level of MDA in the liver tissue and AI in the hepatocyte was positively correlated （P＜0.01）. The content of GSH and the activities of SOD， CAT， and GSH-Px in the liver tissue and AI were negatively correlated （P＜0.01）. Conclusions The participation of free radical of oxygen in the pathogenesis and severity of cholestasis produced by the acute obstruction of the extra-hepatic biliary duct is likely. The result of the present study indicates that melatonin exerts a protective effect on cholestatic liver injury in rats with BDL. The mechanism of melatonin’s protection on hepatocyte may be through its antioxidant action and by inhibiting hepatocyte apoptosis.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular diseases, by leading to cell apoptosis and thus causing organic injuries. Anti-ROS therapy is highly anticipated, but currently, there is still no appropriate prevention method. Studies have shown that thioredoxin (Trx), being a kind of significant endogenous antioxidant system, has excellent antioxidant capacity. Promotion of Trx can reduce key biomolecules to eliminate ROS or regulate many signaling pathways, thus resisting ROS injuries, which may be a new anti-ROS strategy. Therefore, we reviewed the research progress of Trx in cardiac antioxidant therapy to discuss its potential and possibility to be a target for prevention of heart-related ROS injury.
ObjectiveTo detect the level of oxidative stress markers in serum, including malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyls (PC), 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC), in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and explore the impacts of oxidant/antioxidant imbalance in pathogenesis of COPD. MethodsTwo hundred stable COPD patients (the COPD group) and 100 healthy individuals (the control group) were recruited in the study. The concentrations of MDA, PC, 8-OHdG and TAC in serum were detected. Pulmonary function test was performed and the general informations for each subjects were collected. The COPD patients were divided into a smoking subgroup and a non-smoking subgroup, or divided into a mild-moderate airflow limitation subgroup and a severe-extremely severe airflow limitation subgroup. ResultsThe levels of serum MDA, PC and 8-OHdG in the COPD group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P < 0.01), but the level of serum TAC was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.01). In the COPD patients, the levels of PC and 8-OHdG in the smoking subgroup were significantly higher than those in the non-smoking subgroup (both P < 0.05). The level of PC in the severe-extremely severe airflow limitation subgroup was significantly higher when compared with the mild-moderate airflow limitation subgroup (P < 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the levels of PC and 8-OHdG were negatively related with FEV1% pred in the COPD patients, and the PC had greater impacts than 8-OHdG (β=-0.230, -0.219, P < 0.01). ConclusionSmoking can induce the abnormal increase of PC and 8-OHdG in serum which are negatively related with FEV1% pred in COPD patients, which suggests that oxidative stress might play an important role in pathogenesis of COPD.
