It uses symbols to represent the valence electrons of the atoms involved in the bond. Using a number of rules in a defined order, it is often better suited to complicated cases than the Lewis representation of atoms. This method allows us to determine the formal charge and oxidation number of each atom in the edifice more efficiently than other methods.展开更多

On the other hand, blind supplementation of vitamin A, for children in developing countries is a subject of controversy in the literature. The crucial role of vitamin A in the process of spermatogenesis in adult rodents is well established, but only a few publications are consecrated to the long-term effect of vitamin A intake at a young age on testicular development and differentiation. Objectives: Our study aimed to evaluate the long-term effects of acute supplementation at an early age, in the post-natal period, on spermatogenesis and testicular trophicity at adult age. Material and Methods: Young Wistar Albinos rats of 22 days received an acute high dose of supplementation of vitamin A (retinyl palmitate). The control group, group 1, received only extra virgin olive oil, Group 2 a dose of 7000 IU/kg of retinyl palmitate, group 3, 14,000 IU/kg, and Group 4 a dose of 28,000 IU/kg. At 10 weeks of age, the testes’ testosterone levels were measured by ELISA. For histological assessment, sections were stained with Hematoxylin eosin, and the Johnsen score was used to evaluate spermatogenesis in the seminiferous tubules. Results: The average testicular weights of rats were significantly lower in group 4 (p < 0.05), and so was the testosterone level in the testis compared to the control group (p .01). Most of the seminiferous tubules were concerned by an arrest of spermatogenesis and the Johnsen score was decreased with a mean score of 5.96 ± 1.60 (p .001) in that Group. In Group 3, Johnsen’s score was significantly better than the one obtained with the control. Conclusion: We observed a negative effect in the long term with a high acute dose of supplementation of retinyl palmitate at a young age, on testicular development and differentiation. Despite a return to normal diet after that supplementation, during childhood, impaired spermatogenesis was identified at the adult age with an arrest of spermatogenesis. The reversibility of that lack of differentiation by a return to a normal diet is questionable and would need more investigation.展开更多

Methods: A total of 30 C57 rats were selected, and the monoplast suspension of Lewis lung cancer was injected into the left axilla to prepare the subcutaneous transplanted tumor models in the axilla of right upper limb. The models were randomly divided into Groups A, B, and C. Medication was conducted when the tumor grew to 400 mm3. Group A was the control group without any interventional treatment. Group B was injected with Endostar 5 mg.kg-1.d for 10 d. Group C was given the injection of Endostar 5 mg.kg-1.d combined with intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin 5 mg.kg-1.d for 10 d. All the rats in three groups were executed the day after the 10-d medication and the tumor was taken off for measurement of volume and mass changes and calculation of antitumor rate, after which the vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) concentration in rats' plasma was determined by ELISA. The tumor tissues were cut for the preparation of conventional biopsies. After hematoxylin-eosin staining, the pathologic histology was examined to observe the structures of tumor tissues, VEGF score and microvessel density(MVD) in each group. Results: The volume and mass of tumor in Groups B and C were significantly lower than Group A(P < 0.05) while the tumor volume and mass in Group C were significantly lower than Group B(P < 0.05). The antitumor rate in Group C was significantly higher than Group B(P < 0.05), but the tumor VEGF score, MVD and plasma VEGF level in Group C were significantly lower than Groups A and B(P < 0.05). In Group B, the tumor VEGF score, MVD and plasma VEGF level were significantly lower than Group A(P < 0.05). The microscopic image of Group C showed that its number of active tumor cells and the blood capillary around tumor was significantly smaller than that of Groups A and B, and meanwhile atrophy and liquefactive necrosis were seen in local tumor. Conclusions: Endostar injection combined with intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin is effective in reducing tumor VEGF score and MVD of transplanted tumor tissues in rats with Lewis lung cancer to obstruct the nutrient supply of tumor cells and kill tumor cells, so that the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and metastasis can be achieved with a remarkable effect.展开更多

文摘AIM:To observe the effects of N-acetylserotonin(NAS)administration on retinal ischemia-reperfusion(RIR)injury in rats and explore the underlying mechanisms involving the high mobility group box 1(HMGB1)/receptor for advanced glycation end-products(RAGE)/nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-κB)signaling pathway.METHODS:A rat model of RIR was developed by increasing the pressure of the anterior chamber of the eye.Eighty male Sprague Dawley were randomly divided into five groups:sham group(n=8),RIR group(n=28),RIR+NAS group(n=28),RIR+FPS-ZM1 group(n=8)and RIR+NAS+FPS-ZM1 group(n=8).The therapeutic effects of NAS were examined by hematoxylin-eosin(H&E)staining,and retinal ganglion cells(RGCs)counting.The expression of interleukin 1 beta(IL-1β),HMGB1,RAGE,and nod-like receptor 3(NLRP3)proteins and the phosphorylation of nuclear factorkappa B(p-NF-κB)were analyzed by immunohistochemistry staining and Western blot analysis.The expression of HMGB1 protein was also detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).RESULTS:H&E staining results showed that NAS significantly reduced retinal edema and increased the number of RGCs in RIR rats.With NAS therapy,the HMGB1 and RAGE expression decreased significantly,and the activation of the NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway was antagonized along with the inhibition of p-NF-κB and NLRP3 protein expression.Additionally,NAS exhibited an anti-inflammatory effect by reducing IL-1βexpression.The inhibitory of RAGE binding to HMGB1 by RAGE inhibitor FPS-ZM1 led to a significant decrease of p-NF-κB and NLRP3 expression,so as to the IL-1βexpression and retinal edema,accompanied by an increase of RGCs in RIR rats.CONCLUSION:NAS may exhibit a neuroprotective effect against RIR via the HMGB1/RAGE/NF-κB signaling pathway,which may be a useful therapeutic target for retinal disease.
文摘目的探讨血府逐瘀胶囊联合顺铂对小鼠Lewis肺癌移植瘤血管新生及血管内皮生长因子A(VEGFA)、血管内皮细胞生长因子受体2(VEGFR2)表达的影响。方法从75只C57BL/6小鼠中随机取15只作为正常组,其余小鼠均进行Lewis肺癌荷瘤造模。将造模成功的60只小鼠随机分为模型组、顺铂组、血府逐瘀胶囊组、血府逐瘀胶囊联合顺铂组,每组15只。血府逐瘀胶囊组给予血府逐瘀胶囊0.36 g/kg灌胃,模型组给予生理盐水灌胃,均2次/d;顺铂组给予2 mg/kg的顺铂腹腔注射,2 d 1次;血府逐瘀胶囊联合顺铂组给予0.36 g/kg血府逐瘀胶囊灌胃(2次/d)和2 mg/kg的顺铂腹腔注射(2 d 1次);正常组不给予任何干预。各组连续干预15 d后,统计存活率,摘取瘤组织并称量瘤重,计算抑瘤率,免疫组化法检测肿瘤组织中微血管数量,ELISA法测定血浆VEGFA、碱性成纤维细胞生长因子(bFGF)水平,免疫印迹法检测肿瘤组织中VEGFA、VEGFR2蛋白表达情况。结果顺铂组和血府逐瘀胶囊联合顺铂组小鼠存活率明显高于模型组和血府逐瘀胶囊组(P均<0.05);血府逐瘀胶囊联合顺铂组瘤重明显低于其他组(P均<0.05),抑瘤率明显高于顺铂组和血府逐瘀胶囊组(P均<0.05),肿瘤组织中微血管数明显少于模型组和血府逐瘀胶囊组(P均<0.05);顺铂组瘤重明显低于模型组和血府逐瘀胶囊组(P均<0.05),抑瘤率明显高于血府逐瘀胶囊组(P<0.05),肿瘤组织中微血管数明显少于其他组(P均<0.05)。顺铂组血浆VEGFA、bFGF水平和肿瘤组织中VEGFA、VEGFR2蛋白相对表达量均明显低于模型组(P均<0.05);血府逐瘀胶囊联合顺铂组血浆bFGF水平和肿瘤组织中VEGFR2蛋白相对表达量均明显低于模型组(P均<0.05)。结论血府逐瘀胶囊联合顺铂对Lewis肺癌荷瘤小鼠具有显著的抑瘤及抑制肿瘤血管新生的作用,其机制可能与VEGFA/VEGFR2信号通路相关。
文摘目的:对比经上腹左胸手术和Ivor-lewis手术治疗SiewertⅡ型食管胃交界部腺癌(adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction,AEG)在术中和术后各参数中的差别,以及患者预后的差异。方法:回顾性收集320例于河北医科大学第四医院胸外科行根治性手术的SiewertⅡ型AEG患者的数据,其中行上腹左胸手术的患者175例,行Ivor-lewis手术的患者145例。比较两组患者的临床病理特征、术中和术后情况、总生存时间(overall survival,OS)和无病生存时间(disease-free survival,DFS),并对影响AEG患者预后的情况进行单因素和多因素分析。结果:两组患者在肿瘤最大直径、pTNM分期、pN分期和下残阳性方面比较有统计学差异(P<0.05);与Ivor-lewis手术相比,行上腹左胸手术患者的术中时间缩短了30 min(P=0.034),术后吻合口瘘发生率更低(1.71%vs 4.83%,P=0.041);相比Ivor-lewis患者,行上腹左胸手术的患者可以获得更好的OS和DFS(P<0.05);单因素和多因素分析显示术前新辅助治疗是SiewertⅡ型AEG患者预后的影响因素(P<0.05)。结论:经上腹左胸手术可以彻底切除肿瘤,保留膈肌的完整,缩短开胸时间,有利于术后快速康复。同时,术后吻合口瘘等并发症的发生率低,有利于及时进行术后辅助治疗,更利于改善AEG患者的预后。

文摘Objective: To observe the antitumor effect and mechanism of recombinant human endostatin(Endostar) injection in tumor combined with intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin on subcutaneous transplanted Lewis lung cancer in rats. Methods: A total of 30 C57 rats were selected, and the monoplast suspension of Lewis lung cancer was injected into the left axilla to prepare the subcutaneous transplanted tumor models in the axilla of right upper limb. The models were randomly divided into Groups A, B, and C. Medication was conducted when the tumor grew to 400 mm3. Group A was the control group without any interventional treatment. Group B was injected with Endostar 5 mg.kg-1.d for 10 d. Group C was given the injection of Endostar 5 mg.kg-1.d combined with intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin 5 mg.kg-1.d for 10 d. All the rats in three groups were executed the day after the 10-d medication and the tumor was taken off for measurement of volume and mass changes and calculation of antitumor rate, after which the vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) concentration in rats' plasma was determined by ELISA. The tumor tissues were cut for the preparation of conventional biopsies. After hematoxylin-eosin staining, the pathologic histology was examined to observe the structures of tumor tissues, VEGF score and microvessel density(MVD) in each group. Results: The volume and mass of tumor in Groups B and C were significantly lower than Group A(P < 0.05) while the tumor volume and mass in Group C were significantly lower than Group B(P < 0.05). The antitumor rate in Group C was significantly higher than Group B(P < 0.05), but the tumor VEGF score, MVD and plasma VEGF level in Group C were significantly lower than Groups A and B(P < 0.05). In Group B, the tumor VEGF score, MVD and plasma VEGF level were significantly lower than Group A(P < 0.05). The microscopic image of Group C showed that its number of active tumor cells and the blood capillary around tumor was significantly smaller than that of Groups A and B, and meanwhile atrophy and liquefactive necrosis were seen in local tumor. Conclusions: Endostar injection combined with intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin is effective in reducing tumor VEGF score and MVD of transplanted tumor tissues in rats with Lewis lung cancer to obstruct the nutrient supply of tumor cells and kill tumor cells, so that the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and metastasis can be achieved with a remarkable effect.
