  • Establishing a Model of Aparathyroid Rat

    【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the technique of establishing a model of aparathyroid rat which could be used in the study of parathyroid cells transplantation. Methods Parathyroid glands were surgically excised and identified pathologyically. Serum calcium and parathyroid hormone in rats before operation and on day 2,5,10,15 and 30 after operation were measured. Results Parathyroid glands were resected successfully in 8 rats, and the resection rate was 80% (8/10). No obvious changes of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels were found before and after operatiion in sham parathyroid gland excision group (Pgt;0.05). However, statistically significant changes of those data were found perioperatively in parathyroid gland excision group (P<0.01). Conclusion The model of aparathyroid rat can be established successfully after parathyroid glands in rats are excised exactly. Parathyroid allotransplantation could be performed ten days after parathyriodectomy.

  • Experimental Study on Allotransplantation of Cultured Parathyroid Cells in Rats

    【Abstract】Objective To study the influence of transplantation of cultured parathyroid cells on the survival of the allografts in rats. Methods Parathyroid cells digested with collagenase and trypsin were cultured and transplanted under the left renal capsule. The survival time of the allografts was recorded and the allografts were examined by transmission electron microscopy.Results In fresh parathyroid cells group, the mean survival time was (9.25±3.45) days. While in cultured parathyroid cells group, the survival time was (46.25±7.44) days (P<0.01). During the 50 days of observation, serum calcium and PTH remained normal in 6 of 8 rats. There were intact parathyroid cells in the allografts which had abundant rough endoplasmic reticula,mitochondria and secretory granules. Conclusion Transplantation of cultured parathyroid cells in rats can prolong the survival time of allografts and is a potent way to cure hypoparathyroidism.

  • Effect of Verapamil on Apoptosis, Calcium and Expressions of bcl-2 and c-myc of Pancreatic Cells in Ischemia-Reperfusion Rat Model

    【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the effect of verapamil on apoptosis, calcium and expressions of bcl-2 and c-myc of pancreatic cells in ischemia-reperfusion rat model. Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group (n=10); ischemia-reperfusion group (n=10); verapamil treatment group (n=10). The anterior mesenteric artery and the celiac artery of rats in both ischemia-reperfusion group and verapamil treatment group were occluded for 15 min followed by 12-hour reperfusion. Verapamil (1 mg/kg) was injected via caudal vein to the rats in verapamil treatment group 15 min before occlusion and 1 hour after the initiation of reperfusion, respectively; and ischemia-reperfusion group was given the same volume of salient twice intravenously. Pancreatic tissues were collected from the dead rats after twelve hours since the reperfusion. The pathologic characters of pancreatic tissue were observed under light microscope; The level of calcium in the tissue was measured by atomic absorption spectrometer; TUNEL was used to detect apoptosis of pancreatic cells; and the expressions of c-myc and bcl-2 in the cells were also analyzed by immunohistochemistry technique and flow cytometry. Results The pathologic change in verapamil treatment group was less conspicuous than that of ischemia-reperfusion group. Both the calcium level and the number of apoptotic cells in verapamil treatment group were less than those of ischemia-reperfusion group 〔(411.1±55.8) μg/g dry weight vs (470.9±31.9) μg/g dry weight, P<0.05 and (9.5±2.9)% vs (18.4±3.1)% 〕, P<0.05. After taking verapamil, the number of apoptotic cells decreased, whereas the expressions of bcl-2 and c-myc increased. The fluorescent indexes of bcl-2 and c-myc in verapamil treatment group were significantly higher than those of ischemia-reperfusion group (1.72±0.11 vs 1.41±0.07, P<0.05; 1.76±0.19 vs 1.55±0.13, P<0.05. Conclusion Ischemia-reperfusion injury can induce apoptosis of pancreatic cells. Verapamil could protect the injured pancreatic tissue by reducing the level of calcium, stimulating the expressions of bcl-2 and c-myc and inhibiting apoptosis of pancreatic cells.
