The events involved in the processing of the angiotensin II (Ang II)-receptor complex were studied in primary cultures of rat myometrial cells. Ang II bound to rat myometrial cells in a specific, time- and temperature-dependent fashion. Pretreatment with cycloheximide did not interfere with binding up to 3 hr, but inhibited increases in binding observed over longer periods. The [3H]Ang II binding to intact cells was inhibited by dithiothreitol (DTT), and the rank order of potency of Ang II and nonpeptide antagonists to inhibit the [3H]Ang II binding was Ang II > Losartan > PD 123319 or CGP 42112B, indicating the presence of the AT1 receptor type. Whereas most of the [3H]Ang II binding at 4 degrees was susceptible to acid or pronase treatment, binding at 35 degrees was resistant to both treatments, suggesting an internalization of the Ang II-receptor complex. Phenylarsine oxide (PAO) and N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) caused a concentration-dependent inhibition when the binding assay was performed at 35 degrees, but no effect was observed at 4 degrees, indicating that these agents did not alter cell-surface binding but actually prevented the internalization process. Simultaneous treatment with 1 mM DTT or beta-mercaptoethanol prevented the inhibitory effect of NEM, but only DTT could prevent the inhibition caused by PAO, indicating that two closely located sulfhydryl groups must be involved in the internalization process. Chloroquine (100 microM) inhibited the [3H]Ang II dissociation from cells, and monensin (25 microM) induced a 30% inhibition of [3H]Ang II binding (35 degrees, 3 hr), suggesting endosomal processing of the Ang II-receptor complex with receptor recycling to the cell surface. These results indicate that Ang II binding to AT1 receptors in rat myometrial cells is followed by internalization of the Ang II-receptor complex and recycling of the receptor to the cell surface. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Tubulointerstitial fibrosis is the final common pathway to end-stage renal failure. The present study investigated the potential role of tubular epithelial cells (TEC) in progressive fibrosis in the rat remnant kidney model. METHODS: Rats underwent 5/6 nephrectomy or a sham operation (control), and groups of six animals were killed at weeks 1, 3, 5, 9, 13, 17 and 21. RESULTS: Immunohistochemistry staining and in situ hybridization at week 3 after nephrectomy demonstrated de novo expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA)--a marker of smooth muscle cells and myofibroblasts--by TEC that was invariably associated with disruption of the tubular basement membrane (TBM). This phenotypic evidence of tubular epithelial-myofibroblast transdifferentiation was supported by ultrastructural studies identifying the presence of characteristic actin microfilaments and dense bodies within TEC with a transformed morphology. In the late stage of this apparent tubular epithelial-myofibroblast transdifferentiation, TEC lost apical-basal polarity and tight junctions, became elongated, detached from the TBM, separated from neighboring cells and appeared to migrate into the peritubular interstitium through the damaged basement membrane. Indeed, focal peritubular accumulation of alpha-SMA+ myofibroblasts and local tubulointerstitial fibrosis was closely associated with alpha-SMA+ tubules, suggesting a tubular epithelial origin for some of these cells. Quantitative analysis found a significant correlation between the number of alpha-SMA+ TEC and the accumulation of interstitial alpha-SMA+ myofibroblasts and the severity of tubulointerstitial fibrosis (both P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: This study provides phenotypic and morphological evidence to support the hypothesis that TEC are pro-fibrogenitor cells capable of tubular epithelial-myofibroblast transdifferentiation in progressive renal fibrosis. In addition, we postulate that disruption of the TBM, which facilitates epithelial cell contact with the interstitial matrix, promotes this process of transdifferentiation. 相似文献

In the first study, we evaluated 101 oocytes [2, 4, 6, 8, 16, 18 and 20 h after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)] that had been microinjected with testicular spermatozoa. Of the 70 normally fertilized oocytes (69%) 30 (43%) had two pronuclei by 6 h after ICSI. Fifty-one (73%) by 8 h, 69 (99%) by 16 h and four of them by 20 h cleaved to the 2-cell stage. In the second study, 95 cumulus-corona-oocyte complexes (CCOC) were divided into two groups. Forty-seven CCOC were inseminated by conventional in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and 40 metaphase-II oocytes by ICSI. Oocytes were evaluated at 2, 4, 6 (only after ICSI), 8, 10, 12, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30 h after both ICSI and IVF. After IVF, 35 oocytes were fertilized normally (75%), four of which (11%) had two pronuclei by 8 h, 11 (31%) by 10 h, 27 (77%) by 12 h and 35 (100%) by 14 h. The first cleavages had occurred by 24 h after insemination (four oocytes, 11%). After ICSI, 34 oocytes were fertilized normally (79%), 13 of which (38%) had two pronuclei by 6 h, 27 (79%) by 8 h and 32 (94%) by 10 h. Three oocytes cleaved by 20 h after microinjection (9%) and 19 by 24 h (56%). Pronuclei developed asynchronously in six oocytes after ICSI (18%) as opposed to 16 oocytes after IVF (46%). The results of this study suggest that the timing of pronuclear formation is no different when a testicular spermatozoon is microinjected into the oocytes from when an ejaculated spermatozoon is injected. Secondly, pronuclear development and first cleavage generally take place 4 h sooner after ICSI than after IVF. On the other hand, a higher proportion of oocytes develop two pronuclei asynchronously after IVF than after ICSI. 相似文献

During 320 anesthesias, 401 goniotomies were performed and are here reviewed. Significant complications were cardiopulmonary arrest (1.8%) and postoperative hemorrhage (0.5%). Useful vision was lost in one case (0.2%). No complications could be attributed to operating on both eyes during the same anesthesia. The authors believe that both eyes should be operated on during the same anesthesia when bilateral goniotomy is indicated. 相似文献

The data presented are evident of the fact that the causative agents of pyelonephritis in pregnant women and puerpera are mostly Ecsherichia. Ilebsiella, Enterococcus and Ps. aeruginosa were isolated not so often. Strains with multiple antibiotic resistance were mainly isolated from the urine. It should be noted that 64 per cent of the Klebsiella strains and 90 per cent of the Proteus strains were sensitive to ampicillin. It should be taken into account in development of rational therapy of pyelonephritis in pregnant women and puerpera. 相似文献

A prospective cohort study in a neonatal intensive care unit (ICU) was carried out to evaluate whether the incidence of infection in neonates receiving intestinal decolonization was reduced in comparison to those who did not. This study was performed after controling possible confounding infection risk factors. A total of 536 babies were screened in our ICU during the 27-month study period. Neonates were admitted to the ICU for different reasons: low weight, respiratory distress syndrome, acute fetal suffering, surgery, etc. The doctor in charge decided whether the baby should be decolonized or not, so this experimental study was non-random. Thus more of the babies with a greater risk of infection were decolonized more often than the other babies who were not so much at risk. In this study, babies were classified by type of decolonization given: a well-performed Selective Intestinal Decolonization (SID) was done (early and with three oral drugs: E polymyxin, tobramycin and nystatin): 10.8% of the babies; Incorrect SID (was begun late and/or less than three drugs were used): 16.7% of the babies; and Without SID (72.9%). Total nosocomial infection (NI) was 11.2%, catheter-associated sepsis was 42% of the total NI. When the NI incidence was directly compared among groups, it was lower in the group without SID, but infants with decolonization initially had more infection risk factor than the first group. For this reason, multiple logistic regression was used in order to stratify factors by infection probability, and correcting the existing bias.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
