铜中毒对SD大鼠肝的影响研究

将36只雄性大鼠80~100 g随机分为3组,分别喂以对照日粮(Cu质量分数13.15mg/kg)和高铜日粮(Cu质量分数650、850 mg/kg),实验期为9周,进行了铜中毒对大鼠肝脏影响的病理学研究。结果表明,与对照组比较,高铜Ⅰ、Ⅱ组大鼠肝脏出现不同程度的病理损害;大鼠肝脏脏器系数有增高趋势,但差异无显著(P0.05)。同时,乳酸脱氢酶、谷草转氨酶活性显著升高(P0.01),血清铜含量上升,SOD含量下降。提示日粮铜质量分数650~850 mg/kg即可引起大鼠肝脏的病理损伤,功能降低。     

番茄红素对镉诱导睾丸损伤大鼠抗氧化酶活性及生殖激素水平的影响

目的观察番茄红素对镉诱导睾丸损伤大鼠抗氧化酶活性及生殖激素水平的影响。方法将28只雄性SD大鼠随机分为4组,每组7只,分别为空白对照组、5 mg/L镉组、5 mg/L镉+10 mg/kg番茄红素组、5 mg/L镉+20 mg/kg番茄红素组,给药1周后处死,测定睾丸组织超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、丙二醛(MDA)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)活性及血清促黄体生成素(LH)、睾酮(T)水平。结果镉组大鼠体质量、睾丸质量、睾丸组织SOD、GSH-Px活性及血清T水平均显著低于NC组(P0.01),睾丸组织MDA含量和血清LH水平则显著高于后者(P0.01);番茄红素可缓解染镉大鼠体质量和睾丸质量的减轻,并回调抗氧化酶活性和生殖激素水平,且高剂量组效果更为显著。结论番茄红素对染镉大鼠的睾丸损伤具有剂量依赖性的改善作用,可能与清除氧自由基和抗脂质过氧化有关。     

川芎对大鼠心肌缺血再灌注NF-κB的影响作用

目的探讨川芎治疗心肌缺血再灌注的作用机理。方法将SD大鼠50只,随机分为5组,每组各10只、以及空白组10只。共60只大鼠。即空白对照组(生理盐水20 mL/kg)、模型组(生理盐水20 mL/kg)、川芎高剂量(100 mg/kg)、川芎中剂量(50 mg/kg)、川芎低剂量(25mg/kg)组。采用放免法检测血清TNF-α含量,免疫组化法测定心肌组织中核因子κB的表达。结果川芎对各组及治疗组血清TNF-α含量与正常组比较显著降低(P0.01),NF-κB的活化程度正常组比较显著降低(P0.01)。其中以中剂量治疗组效果最为显著。结论川芎可降低血清中TNF-α含量,减少心肌组织中NF-κB活化程度,达到对心肌缺血再灌注作用。     

铜负荷大鼠基底节对肝豆灵代谢响应的~1H NMR研究

采用核磁共振氢谱(1H NMR)技术与多元统计分析相结合的方法,对肝豆灵对大鼠基底节铜损伤的调节机制进行研究。24只雄性Wistar大鼠随机分为正常组、模型组和肝豆灵组,每组8只,以铜负荷法造模。从造模第7周开始,肝豆灵组大鼠以肝豆灵灌胃。数据分析显示:与正常组比较,模型组的基底节细胞凋亡指数显著增高(p0.01);基底节组织中的谷氨酰胺、尿苷、苏氨酸含量升高(p0.05),甘露醇、腺苷、N-乙酰天冬氨酸、谷氨酸、N-乙酰谷氨酸(NAG)、天冬酰胺、乙酸、天冬氨酸、肌醇、三磷酸腺苷(ATP)含量降低(p0.05);与模型组相比,肝豆灵组的基底节细胞凋亡指数显著降低(p0.01);基底节组织中的谷氨酰胺、尿苷、乙酸、天冬氨酸含量降低(p0.05),甘露醇、腺苷、苏氨酸、N-乙酰天冬氨酸、谷氨酸、N-乙酰谷氨酸、天冬酰胺、肌醇、ATP含量升高(p0.05)。研究结果表明,肝豆灵可影响铜负荷大鼠基底节的代谢,对铜损伤具有一定的修复作用,其机制可能是通过调节氨的解毒和兴奋性氨基酸类神经递质的代谢,干预能量代谢,恢复神经元和神经胶质细胞功能。     

微量元素变化对反复呼吸道感染的影响

检测了240例反复呼吸道感染患儿血微量元素含量。结果表明,反复呼吸道感染患儿血锌、铁、钙低于正常对照组(P<0.01);血铅高于正常对照组(P<0.01);血铜、镁两组相当,差异不显著(P<0.05)。提示反复呼吸道感染患儿体内存在锌、铁、钙元素缺乏及铅含量升高。     

用稳定同位素质谱技术检测肉鸡色素的来源

通过分析肉鸡中稳定同位素δ13C值和δ15N值,推断肉鸡色素的来源,证明稳定同位素质谱技术可以作为调查动物饲料来源、追溯动物产品的方法。结果表明:添加色素组,随着色素添加量的增加RCF值显著升高(P<0.05);撤除色素后,各处理间的RCF值差异不显著(P>0.05);鸡肉粗蛋白中δ13C值在撤除色素前后的差异不显著(P>0.05)。饲喂不同含量的玉米组,随着玉米含量的增加,各组的RCF值有显著的差异(P<0.05);当饲料中玉米的含量由10%换成70%时,鸡爪的RCF值大幅度升高(P<0.05),反之,鸡爪的RCF值大幅度降低(P<0.05);鸡肉粗蛋白中δ13C值随着玉米含量的变化呈现显著差异(P<0.05)。另外,添加色素组和饲喂玉米组,当RCF值相同时,鸡肉粗蛋白中δ13C值有显著差异。     

老年髋部骨折患者血清中宏量及微量元素含量分析

为探讨微量元素与骨质疏松症及髋部骨折的关系,采用原子吸收分光光度计等方法分别测定了40例老年髋部骨折患者血清中微量元素铜(Cu)、锌(Zn)、硒(Se)、铁(Fe)、锰(Mn)及宏量元素钙(Ca)、磷(P)、镁(Mg)、钾(K)、钠(Na)的含量,并与30例青壮年髋部骨折患者对照。结果表明,老年髋部骨折患者血清中的Ca含量明显升高(P<0.01)、Cu、Mn有显著提高(P<0.05),其它元素有升高趋势,但无显著性差异,Zn的含量明显降低(P<0.01)。测定血清中宏量及微量元素含量可能对预测髋部骨折及骨质疏松症的疗效评价有一定临床价值。     

血清白蛋白的铜(Ⅱ)-乙酰丙酮络合吸附波法测定

在pH6．8的磷酸盐缓冲溶液中,血清白蛋白与铜(Ⅱ)-乙酰丙酮络合物反应作用生成一种在汞电极上吸附性很弱的铜(Ⅱ)-血清白蛋白惰性络合物,使铜(Ⅱ)-乙酰丙酮络合物在-0．28V(vs．SCE)络合吸附波还原峰电流降低,电流降低值与1～30mg/L范围内牛血清白蛋白(BSA)或1～32mg/L范围内人血清白蛋白(HSA)呈线性关系;检出限分别为0．5和0．6mg/L。运用该法测定了人血清样品中蛋白质含量,结果满意。     

土壤铜污染的微生物及酶学指标研究

通过室内培养试验,研究了土壤铜污染对土壤微生物基础呼吸及土壤脲酶、脱氢酶、酸性磷酸酶的影响。结果表明,土壤微生物基础呼吸在低水平铜（≤100mg／kg）添加下呈现出先上升后下降的趋势,而随着土壤铜添加水平的进一步提高（〉100mg／kg）,微生物基础呼吸作用迅速增强;土壤脲酶则随着铜含量的增加呈现出不断下降趋势,土壤磷酸酶活性则在低水平下上升而随着添加水平的进一步提高迅速降低。可见,这两种酶对土壤铜毒害反应灵敏,可作为土壤铜污染评价的指标;而土壤脱氢酶则对铜含量的变化没有表现出明显的统计规律性,不适宜作为土壤铜污染评价的酶学指标。     

超高效液相色谱-串联四极杆静电场轨道阱高分辨质谱法测定豆类中的硒代蛋氨酸

该研究利用超高效液相色谱-串联四极杆静电场轨道阱高分辨质谱(UHPLC/ESI-Q-Orbitrap)技术,对硒代蛋氨酸(SeMet)的色谱信息、分子离子质荷比和碎裂片段的质荷比进行采集,并对特征离子碎裂途径进行解析,建立了豆类中硒代蛋氨酸的检测方法。样品用三羟甲基氨基甲烷-盐酸(Tris-HCl)缓冲溶液溶解后,涡旋混匀,超声提取,在恒温水浴条件下酶解,离心后取上清液过0.22μm滤膜后上机检测。采用Hypersil GOLD HILIC(50 mm×2.1 mm,1.9μm)色谱柱进行分离,以0.2%(体积分数,下同)甲酸6 mmol/L甲酸铵水溶液和0.2%甲酸6 mmol/L甲酸铵乙腈溶液为流动相梯度洗脱,采用电喷雾正离子模式电离,在全扫描/数据依赖扫描模式(Full MS/dd-MS2)下进行检测,基质匹配标准校正法定量。结果表明,硒代蛋氨酸的基质效应为15.75%,在0.05~0.5 mg/L范围内线性关系良好,相关系数(r²)为0.9976,方法检出限(LOD)为0.015 mg/kg,定量下限(LOQ)为0.05 mg/kg;空白样品在0.1、0.2、0.4 mg/kg 3个加标水平下的平均回收率为77.6%~83.2%,日内相对标准偏差(RSDr)为2.8%~4.8%,日间相对标准偏差(RSD_R)为4.1%~6.5%。将方法应用于实际样品的检测,得富硒黑豆、富硒红豆、富硒绿豆中硒代蛋氨酸的含量分别为0.252、0.163、0.184 mg/kg。该方法具有前处理操作简单、结果准确、重复性好等优点,适用于豆类中硒代蛋氨酸的检测。     

Sesbania drummondii cell cultures: ICP-MS determination of the accumulation of Pb and Cu

Sesbania cell cultures grown in the presence of different concentrations of Pb (0-1000 mg/L) and Cu (0-500 mg/L) were assayed for growth, metal accumulations and activities of antioxidative enzymes: superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and guaiacol peroxidase (GPX). These cultures tolerated Pb up to a concentration of 500 mg/L, registering a fresh weight growth of 500% in 3 weeks. At the same time, cultures registered a growth of 200% in 3 weeks at a Cu concentration of 100 mg/L showing less tolerance than Pb. However, Sesbania cells accumulated more Cu than Pb, as determined by ICP-MS, at all the treatments tested. Cu accumulation reached 3000 mg/kg (dry weight) at a Cu treatment of 100 mg/L, while Pb accumulation was only over 150 mg/kg (dry weight) at 500 mg Pb/L. Metal accumulations were positively correlated with induction of SOD and CAT activities in both the metal treatments. SOD activity of callus was 105 U/mg (fresh weight) at a Pb treatment of 500 mg/L and the corresponding Pb accumulation of 160 mg/kg (dry weight), while the activity rose to 300 U/mg (fresh weight) at a Cu treatment of 100 mg/L and the corresponding Cu accumulation of 3000 mg/kg (dry weight). The pattern of GPX activities was, however, different, particularly in Pb treatments where activities declined with increasing concentrations of Pb in the cells as well as growth medium. This study shows how Sesbania cells withstand heavy metal stress by induction of antioxidative enzyme activities.     

Protective effect of salidroside from Rhodiolae Radix on diabetes-induced oxidative stress in mice

It has been confirmed that diabetes mellitus (DM) carries increased oxidative stress. This study evaluated the effects of salidroside from Rhodiolae Radix on diabetes-induced oxidative stress in mice. After induction of diabetes, diabetic mice were administered daily doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg salidroside for 28 days. Body weights, fasting blood glucose (FBG), serum insulin, TC (total cholesterol), TG (triglyceride), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) were measured. Results showed that salidroside possessed hypoglycemic activity and protective effects against diabetes-induced oxidative stress, which could significantly reduce FBG, TC, TG and MDA levels, and at same time increase serum insulin levels, SOD, GPx and CAT activities. Therefore, salidroside should be considered as a candidate for future studies on diabetes.     

Investigation of antioxidant vitamins (A, E, C) and lipid peroxidation levels in rats injected N-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-N-(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl) amine

The present study examined the influence of synthetic N-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-N-(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl) amine (2-Amdz) on levels of vitamins A, E and C and malondialdehyde (MDA) in rats. A total of 30 rats, divided into two groups, were used in the study. The control group was given only a subcutaneous injection of 250 microL 75% ethanol, every other day. The other group of rats was administered a subcutaneous injection of 2-Amdz (25 mg kg-1, dissolved in 250 microL of 75% ethanol). Injections were continued for 16 days. After the application of 2-Amdz for 16 days, the serum levels of vitamins A, E and C and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined by HPLC. The serum vitamin A, E, and C levels decreased significantly compared to controls (p<0.05) whereas serum MDA levels were higher than control levels (p<0.005). As a result, it can be suggested that 2-Amdz induced a severe stress and more importantly, increased the amount of free radicals and significantly decreased the levels of serum antioxidant vitamins.     

急性铅染毒对小鼠行为及脂质过氧化水平的影响

为了解急性铅染毒对小鼠行为及脂质过氧化水平的影响,并探讨两者关系,将48只ICR小鼠随机分为4组,低、中、高铅组小鼠分别予以醋酸铅2、10、50 mg/kg ip染毒,隔日1次,连续3次;对照组予以等量的生理盐水;染毒后作自发活动、Morris水迷宫测试,实验结束时测定血浆、脑匀浆MDA和T-SOD。结果表明,铅染毒小鼠易激惹、多动,逃避潜伏期显著延长(P<0.01)。血浆MDA、T-SOD和脑匀浆MDA明显增高(P<0.01),并与染铅剂量呈正线性相关(P<0.01)。但小鼠行为改变与脂质过氧化水平之间关系不明显。结论是急性铅染毒能够影响小鼠的行为,呈现激惹、多动及学习记忆能力减退;急性铅染毒能提高小鼠脂质过氧化水平,并可代偿性提高机体T-SOD活性,但脂质过氧化水平增高是否为急性铅中毒行为改变的机制之一尚有待进一步研究。     

Tiliacora triandra (Colebr.) Diels Leaf Aqueous Extract Inhibits Hepatic Glucose Production in HepG2 Cells and Type 2 Diabetic Rats

This study investigated the effects of Tiliacora triandra (Colebr.) Diels aqueous extract (TTE) on hepatic glucose production in hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells and type 2 diabetic (T2DM) conditions. HepG2 cells were pretreated with TTE and its major constituents found in TTE, epicatechin (EC) and quercetin (QC). The hepatic glucose production was determined. The in vitro data were confirmed in T2DM rats, which were supplemented daily with 1000 mg/kg body weight (BW) TTE, 30 mg/kg BW metformin or TTE combined with metformin for 12 weeks. Results demonstrate that TTE induced copper-zinc superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase genes, similarly to EC and QC. TTE decreased hepatic glucose production by downregulating phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) and increasing protein kinase B and AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylation in HepG2 cells. These results correlated with the antihyperglycemic, antitriglyceridemic, anti-insulin resistance, and antioxidant activities of TTE in T2DM rats, similar to the metformin and combination treatments. Consistently, impairment of hepatic gluconeogenesis in T2DM rats was restored after single and combined treatments by reducing PEPCK and G6Pase genes. Collectively, TTE could potentially be developed as a nutraceutical product to prevent glucose overproduction in patients with obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes who are being treated with antidiabetic drugs.     

Effect of X-radiation on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant systems in rats treated with saponin-containing compounds

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of three saponin-containing plant species extracts (Aesculuc hippocastanum L. seed extract [AHE], Medicago sativa L. extract [MSE] and Spinacia oleracea L. extract [SOE]) on lipid peroxidation and on antioxidant systems in rats exposed to X-rays (XR). The rats were divided into three categories. The first category served as controls and received only a standard diet. The second category served as the radiation group and received 5 and 10 Gy XR dose. The third category (XR+extract-treated) received plant extracts (25.0 or 50.0 mg kg(-1) live weight) and 5 or 10 Gy XR dose. Blood samples were analyzed for their content of malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), plasma vitamin C, beta-carotene and retinol. In animals receiving XR, the plasma MDA (P < 0.001) value significantly increased but the level of GSH (P < 0.01), vitamin C (P < 0.001), retinol and beta-carotene (P < 0.001) decreased significantly with increasing XR doses. In the XR+extract-treated groups, the concentrations of MDA increased significantly with increasing radiation but their concentrations decreased significantly with increasing extract concentrations. Plasma concentrations of GSH, beta-carotene, retinol and vitamin C in XR+extract-treated groups decreased significantly with increasing XR dose but their concentrations increased with increasing extract doses. Further, comparison of blood samples of XR+extract-treated groups with those from the control group showed that GSH, beta-carotene, retinol and vitamin C values increased significantly but that MDA values decreased significantly. The results showed that all extracts have enhanced the antioxidant status and decreased the incidence of free radical-induced lipid peroxidation in blood samples of rats exposed to XR. However, the antioxidant effect of AHE-administered animals was more effective than that of MSE- and SOE-administered whole-body XR rats. We conclude that the supplementation with saponin-containing extracts may serve to reinforce the antioxidant systems, thus having protective effect against cell damage by XR.     

Effects of Micronutrients on Oxidative Stress and Islet Function in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Rats： Relationships to Th2 Type Cytokines, Interleukin-4, and Interluekin-10

To observe the effects of the micronutrients on oxidative and autoimmune destruction of islets so as to prevent a person from the onset and development of type 1 Diabetes Mellitus(T1DM),the interleukin-4 and interleukin-10 expressions of lymphocytes in peripheral blood and spleen of T1DM rats were determined by flow cytometry.GSH-Px activity and MDA level in the rats' pancreas were measured using biochemical methods.The insulin contents in serum and β cell insulin secret storage were tested by RIA and IHC,respectively.There was an increase in the percentages of IL-4 and IL-10 positive lymphocytes in the peripheral blood and spleen of the groups of rats supplemented with various combinations of micronutrients(p<0.01 and p<0.05,respectively);the blood glucose concentration decreased(p<0.05);both the functional β cell in islets and the insulin content in pancreatic tissue increased(p<0.05 and p<0.01);the GSH-Px activity and MDA level of pancreas in the rats enhanced and decreased respectively(p<0.01 and p<0.05).The results suggest that micronutrients may alleviate the islet lesions by upregulating the expressions of IL-4 and IL-10 and lowering oxidative stress in diabetic rats.     

Effects of Lycium barbarum aqueous and ethanol extracts on high-fat-diet induced oxidative stress in rat liver tissue

This study evaluated the protective effects of aqueous extract of Lycium barbarum (LBAE) and ethanol extract of Lycium barbarum (LBEE) on blood lipid levels, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities and liver tissue antioxidant enzyme activities in rats fed a high fat diet (HF). The rats were randomly divided into seven groups of ten rats each and fed a different diet for eight weeks as follows: One group (NC group) was fed a standard diet, one group was fed a high-fat diet (HF group), one group was fed a high-fat diet and orally fed with 20 mg/kg b.w. simvastatin (HF + simvastatin group), and the other group was fed the high fat diet and orally fed with 50 mg/kg b.w. or 100 mg/kg b.w. LBAE (HF + LBAE), or 50 mg/kg b.w. or 100 mg/kg b.w. LBEE (HF + LBEE), respectively. After eight weeks, the HF diet caused deleterious metabolic effects. Rats fed the HF diet alone showed increased hepatocellular enzyme activities in plasma, a significant decline in antioxidant enzyme activities, and elevated liver lipid peroxidation indices. LBAE and LBEE administration significantly reduced liver damage and oxidative changes, and brought back the antioxidants and lipids towards normal levels. These data suggest that these antioxidants protect against toxicity parameters in HF rats.
