  • Influence of Genders on Activity of Nuclear Factor-Kappa B in Lungs in Endotoxemic Rats

    Objective To investigate influence of genders on the activity of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) in lungs of endotoxemic rats. Methods Twenty female and 20 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups as follow: female control group (n=10), male control group (n=10), male endotoxemic group (n=10), and female endotoxemic group (n=10). The endotoxemic rats model was made by injecting lipopolysaccharide (5 mg/kg) into the abdominal cavity. Tissue samples were collected from the lungs in different groups and electrophoresis mobility shift assay was used to measure the activity of NF-κB. The levels of serum TNF-α and estrogen were measured at the same time. Results There was no significant difference between the activities of NF-κB in male and female control groups (1.33±0.24 vs 1.47±0.40), and there was also no significant difference between other items in these groups as well (Pgt;0.05). Yet, the activity of NF-κB (female: 12.10±2.89; male: 19.53±2.12) and the level of TNF-α 〔female: (4.10±0.72) ng/ml; male: (6.37±1.29) ng/ml〕 were significantly increased after injection of lipopolysaccharide (Plt;0.01), and the indices in female group were significantly lower than those in male group (Plt;0.01). Correlation analysis showed that there was a positive relation between the activity of NF-κB in lungs and the level of TNF-α (female: r=0.921 1, P=0.013; male: r=0.907 2, P=0.017), and there was a negative correlation between the activity of NF-κB and the level of estrogen (female: r=-0.887 5, P=0.017; male: r=0.872 3, P=0.022) in both male endotoxemic group and female endotoxemic group (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Gender may be one of the factors that influence the activity of NF-κB in the lungs of endotoxemic rats. While  on the other hand, endogenous estrogen may protect the lungs of endotoxemic rats from injury by inhibiting the activity of NF-κB.

  • Change of Lipopolysaccharide Binding Protein and Its Significance in Rats with Obstructive Jaundice

    ObjectiveTo study the changes of lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) in the serum of Wistar rats with obstructive jaundice and to investigate its potential mechanism.MethodsEighty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into obstructive jaundice group (OJ group, n=40) and sham operation group (SO group, n=40). Before operation and the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th day after common bile duct ligation, the levels of LBP, endotoxin, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in plasma were detected in all the rats. ResultsLBP levels in serum increased significantly in OJ group on the 10th day after operation compared with those of SO group. Moreover, LBP levels gradually increased in OJ group with the prolongation of obstructive time. A positive correlation existed between serum LBP and plasma endotoxin, TNF-α and IL-6.ConclusionThe study demonstrates that LBP in serum is high and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of multiple organ injury secondary to obstructive jaundice. It may be an appropriate way to treat patients with obstructive jaundice by decreasing LBP levels in serum.

  • Change of Renal Endothelin1 Excretion and Its Relation to Renal Dysfunctions in Bile Duct Ligated Rats

    ObjectiveTo investigate the change of renal endothelin (ET) excretion and its relation to renal dysfunctions in obstructive jaundice.MethodsSixty male Wistar rats were randomized into two groups, the common bile ducts were ligated to establish the model of obstructive jaundice in experimental group, and only sham operation was done in control group. Ten rats were taken from each group at 5, 10 and 15 days respectively after operation, renal functions were evaluated by paminohippuric acid clearance (CPAH), inulin clearance (CIN) and fractional sodium excretion (FENa+); furthermore, plasma endotoxin (EX) level was determined, and ET1 contents in renal arterial plasma, renal venous plasma and renal tissue were detected. ResultsOnly FENa+ was significantly increased at the 5th day in experimental group; since the 10th day, all the three renal functional parameters gradually decreased, and FENa+ was significantly lower than that in control group at 15th day (P<0.01 vs control). ②The plasma EX sustained at significantly higher levels after operation in experimental group (P<0.01 vs control). ③The renal arterial plasma ET1 was significantly decreased, while the contents in renal venous plasma and renal tissue were significantly increased after operation in experimental group (P<0.01 vs control). ④There were positive correlation between plasma EX and renal ET1 content, negative correlation between renal ET1 content and CPAH/CIN, and positive correlation between renal ET1 content and FENa+ (P<0.01).ConclusionThe increased excretion of renal ET stimulated by endotoxemia may play an important role in the renal dysfunctions in obstructive jaundice.

  • Changes of LipopolysaccharideBinding Protein and Its Significance During Endotoxemia

    ObjectiveTo investigate changes of lipopolysaccharidebinding protein (LBP) and its clinical significance in activation of Kupffer cells (KCs) during endotoxemia.MethodsWistar rat endotoxemia model was established by injection of a dose of LPS (5 mg/kg, Escherichia coli O111∶B4) via the tail vein of rats, then sacrificed 1, 3, 6 and 12 hour respectively. Hepatic tissue was collected to measure LBP mRNA expression by reverse transcritasepolymerase chain reaction (RTPCR). The levels of plasma endotoxins, LBP, TNFα and IL6 were determined. The pathological changes of hepatic tissue were observed under electron microscope.ResultsWhen the levels of plasma LPS elevated, expression of LBP mRNA in hepatic tissue were ber than that in control rats. The levels of plasma LBP, TNFα and IL6 were increased markedly also in rat with endotoxemia when compared with that in control groups (P<0.01). KCs were seen to be enlarged in size, their surface projections were increased in number, and their cytoplasm was full of phagocytic vacuoles or electron dense phagosomes which indicated active phagocytosis.ConclusionLPS can markedly upregulate LBP mRNA expression in hepatic tissue, the levels of plasma LBP also increased. LBP may be a critical factor of LPS which stimulates KCs to produce and release different proinflammary mediators.

  • Dynamics of Serum Levels of Soluble CD14,E-selectin and Interleukin-10 in Rabbits with Endotoxemia

    Objective To study the change in serum levels of soluble CD14, tumor necrosis factor-α, E-selectin, interleukin-10 and mean arterial pressure, as well as their relationship to infection during the pathophysiologic process in endotoxemia of rabbits. Methods Sixteen rabbits were randomly divided into two groups: group A, as a control group; group B, endotoxemia group. The model of rabbit with endotoxemia were used. Endotoxin at a dose of 1.5 mg/(kg·h) or 3 mg/(kg·h) was continuously infused through external jugular vein within 2 hours, 1 hour respectively. The change of levels of serum soluble CD14, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-10 and E-selectin were observed at 0 (time before infusion of endotoxin), 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300 minutes, while mean arterial pressure was measured by polygraphy system. Results In the group B,there was an increase of content of soluble CD14,tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-10 and E-selectin following 30, 120 minutes respectively,and mean arterial pressure was lower than that of group A at same time points. Conclusion The results suggest that soluble CD14,tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-10 and E-selectin may play an important role during the change of infection and that these changes may be closely related with severe infection.

  • PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF GLUTAMINE ON THE INTESTINAL MUCOSAL ANTIOXIDATION IN ENDOTOXEMIC RATS

    Objective To study the protective effect of glutamine on the intestinal mucosal antioxidation in endotoxemic rats. Methods Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups, group A:parenteral nutrition supplemented with glutamine, group B:TPN without glutamine,and group C:normal control. Endotoxemia was induced by continous intravenous infusion of lipopolysaccharide(LPS) at a dose of 2 mg/kg per day throughout the 5-day study period. The mucosal protein、DNA、ATP、SOD、MDA、GSH、sIgA were determined. Results The mucosal protein、DNA、ATP、SOD、GSH and sIgA content in endotoxic rats were markedly decreased, MDA was increased as compared with normal control(P<0.05). The former indices in group A were improved and MDA content was decreased as compared with group B(P<0.05). Conclusion Glutamine can improve gut energy metabolism, decrease the extent of mucosal injury of free radicals, and give an protective effect on the mucosal probably by increasing GSH.

  • SIGNIFICANCE OF CHANGE OF GUT MOTILITY DURING ACUTE PANCREATITIS

    This study based on two serial animal experiments: ①caerulein-induced edematous pancreatitis with gut motility inhibited by administration of lopemin (an opium antidiarrheal agent) and ②deoxycholate intraductal-injection induced pancreatitis with gut motility improved by administration of rhubarb solution. The results of these experiments indicated that inhibition of gut motility will increase the incidence of bacterial translocation and endotoxemia during acute pancreatitis; and acceleration of gut motility will significantly decrease the incidence of bacterial translocation and endotoxemia during severe type of acute pancreatitis. The authors conclude that promotion of gut motility may protect the inflammatory pancreas from infection and prevent the multiple organ failure during acute pancreatitis, and eventualy improve the prognosis of pancreatitis.

  • THE CLEARANCE EFFECT OF BLOOD PERFUSION ON EXPERIMENTAL ENDOTOXIMIA

    We established acute cholangitis and endotoxiemia in 18 rabbits by ligating the common bile duct and injecting E coli(O111B4 strain)into the common bile duct. After perfusion through activated charcoal via femoral artery-vein pathway, the average blood levels of endotoxin decreased sighificantly from 2.24Eu/ml to 0.17Eu/ml(Plt;0.001). This result suggested that blood perfusion through activated charcoal may be a promising therapy for acute endotoxemia.

  • Effects of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein inhibitory peptide on the binding of lipopolysaccharide to alveolar macrophages in a mouse model of endotoxemia

    Objective To investigate whether P12,a kind of lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-binding protein(LBP) inhibitory peptide,could suppress the binding of LPS to alveolar macrophages(AMs) in a mouse model of endotoxemia in vivo.Methods Forty mice were randomly divided into five groups,ie.a control group,an endotoxemia group,a low dose P12-treated group,a middle dose P12-treated group and a high dose P12-treated group.Mouse model of endotoxemia was established by LPS injection intraperitoneally in the endotoxemia group and P12-treated groups.P12 was instilled via the tail vein.The effects of P12 on the binding of LPS to AMs were determined by flow cytometric analysis and quantization by mean fluorescence intensity(MFI).The productions of tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α) in serum of mice were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results MFI in AMs from low,middle and high dose P12-treated groups was 40.08%,30.76% and 24.45%,respectively,which was higher than that of the control group(4.61%),but less than that of the endotoxemic mice(45.31%).The concentration of TNF-α in serum of low,media and high dose P12-treated mice was (112.69±19.78)pg/mL,(86.34±9.25) pg/mL,(70.48±8.48)pg/mL respectively,which was higher than that of the control group[(24.88±5.82)pg/mL],but less than that of the endotoxemic mice[(180.17±39.14)pg/mL].Conclusion The results suggest that P12 inhibit the binding of LPS and AMs,thus reduce the proudction of TNF-α stimulated by LPS.
