Effects of penetrating cornea injury combined with seawater immersion on the levels of aqueous humor TNF-α in rabbits

Objective To observe effects of penetrating cornea injury combined with seawater immersion on the levels of aqueous humor TNF-α in rabbits. Methods 10 adult healthy grey rabbits were used for the experiment. The rabbit eye model of comea blast injury was developed by using a single firecracker. For each rabbit, the right eye was the experimental eye (seawater was injected into the anterior chamber through the cornea incision, simulating seawater immersion) and the left eye was the control (treated with 0.9% sodium chloride). Levels of aqueous humor TNF-α were detected by using double-antibody sandwich ELISA on the 1st, 2nd, yrd, 4th, 5th, and 7th days following seawater immersion or 0.9% sodium chloride injection. Results Following development of the model, levels of aqueous humor TNF-α in the experimental eye on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd days were 190.338, 156. 107,117.018 ng/L respectively, and significant differences could be seen when comparisous were made between the experimental and control eyes. The level of aqueous humor TNF-α on the 1st day was the highest and obviously reached the peak. Conclusions Level of aqueous humor TNF-α in the experimental eye with penetrating cornea injury combined with seawater immersion was significantly higher than that of the control eye, indicating that TNF-α was clearly involved in the pathological change and it played an important role in the process.

Effects of seawater immersion combined with open abdominal injury on the expression of NF-κB,and IκBαof small intestine in rats

Objective To observe effects of seawater immersion combined with open abdominal injury on the expression of NF-κB,and IκBαas well as the change pattern in rats. Methods Ninety-one Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: the control group (n =7), the open abdominal injury group(n =42) and open abdominal injury combined with 1-hour seawater immersion group ( n =42). The expression of NF-κB,andIκBαin small intestine tissues was measured by Western blot and statistical analyses were also made in the study. Results The expression of NF-κB,in the seawater immersion combined with open abdominal injury group increased significantly 3 hours after injury, when compared with that of the open abdominal injury group(P<0. 05), whereas the expression of NF-κB, of the pure injury group was slightly lower than that of the control group, but no statistical differences could be seen between them(P>0.05). The change pattern in the expression of IκBαwas quite the opposite to that of NF-κB. Conclusions NF-κB seemed to be rapidly and persistently involved in the whole inflammatory response to trauma induced by opened abdominal injury and seawater immersion, when a comparison was made with the pure open abdominal injury group. Injuries for the rats in the open abdominal injury combined with seawater immersion group were serious, and the feedback mechanism for NF-κB was not established for quite a long time.

胸部开放伤后海水浸泡对犬肺损伤程度的影响及肺表面活性蛋白A、B的变化

Objective To compare the extent of acute lung injury (ALl) and changes in surfactant proteins A (SP-A) and B (SP-B) induced by seawater and freshwater immersion following open chest injury in dogs. Methods The animal model was established by seawater and freshwater injection into the thoracic cavity after open chest injury. All the experimental animals were observed for 6 hours, during which blood gas analysis, levels of TNF-α and IL-8, contents of SP-A and SP-B in the lung and blood serum were measured at different time points. Pulmonary histopathology and SP-B immuno-histochemistry were measured after the animals were sacrificed at the end of the experiment. Results Both seawater immersion and freshwater immersion could induce hypoxemia, with the extent of hypoxemia for the seawater immersion group (SG) being obviously much severer than that of the freshwater immersion group (FG) (P < 0.05). The levels of IL-8 and TNF-α in blood serum and BALF of both experimental groups were significantly higher than those of the control group (CG) (P<0.05). Pulmonary pathological lesion was noted in both SG and FG, with that of SG being severer than that of FG. The levels of SP-A and SP-B in BALF in SG and FG all decreased significantly(P <0.05) ,while the levels of SP-A and SP-B in blood serum increased gradually (P < 0.05). Type Ⅱ alveolarepithelial cells with SP-B positive in the lung decreased in both experimental groups, with grey scale values being significantly lower than that of CG. And significant deviation was observed between SG and FG (P <0.05). Conclusions Pulmonary lesion induced by seawater immersion after open chest injury was severer than that induced by freshwater immersion.
