Objective To evaluate the effect of the single-person hyperbaric chamber on hemodynamics of superior mesenteric artery in the personnel rushing to the extremely high altitude area.Methods Sixty healthy young male subjects who traveled by car from the plains(890 m above sea level)to a very high altitude area(5 130 m above sea level)were randomly divided into a control group,a low-flow oxygen therapy group and a hyperbaric oxygen group,with 20 cases in each group.After entering the plateau area,no intervention was made in the control group;in the low-flow oxygen therapy group,low-flow oxygen therapy was performed once a day by means of nasal oxygen cannula(oxygen flow rate of 2 L/min,60 min/times);in the hyperbaric oxygen group,hyperbaric oxygen therapy was carried out once a day in a single-person hyperbaric oxygen chamber(pressuri-zation pressure of 0.25 MPa,60 min/times).The subjects in the three groups had their peak systolic velocity(PSV),resistance index(RI),and pulsation index(PI)of the main trunks of the SMAs and their grade 1 and 2 branches measured and compared using color Doppler ultrasound diagnostic instruments on days 30,60,and 90,respectively,after acute entry to the plateau.SPSS 19.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results There were no significant differences in PSV,RI and PI of SMA and its 1 st and 2nd grade branches between the 3 groups 30 days after entry(P>0.05).Sixty days after entry,the control group had the values of PSV statistically higher than those of the other two groups(P<0.05);there were no significant differences between the low-flow oxygen therapy group and the hyperbaric oxygen group in the values of PSV(P>0.05);the three groups had no obvious differences in the values of RI and PI(P>0.05).Ninety days after entry,the control group had the values of PSV,RI and PI all significantly higher than those of the other two groups(P<0.05);the low-flow oxygen therapy group had the values of PSV statistically higher than those of the hyperbaric oxygen group(P<0.05),while the values of RI and PI not significantly different from those of the hyperbaric oxygen group(P>0.05).Conclusion Single-person hyperbaric oxygen chamber significantly improves the SMA blood flow changes due to oxygen partial pressure reduction in the plateau,and thus is of significance for preventing ischemic enteropathy of the personnel rushing to the plateau.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2023,44(10):59-63]
Résumé
Objective: To explore the levels of IL-22 in thymus damaged by γ-ray total body irradiation (TBI), and to study the role of IL-22 in T cell reconstitution after thymic injury induced by TBI. Methods: To induce thymic injury, mice were treated by sub-lethal TBI. Levels of intra-thymic and circulatory IL-22 were detected by using ELISA assay. Untreated mice were used as control. After receiving sub-lethal TBI, mice were intraperitoneally injected with PBS or recombinant mouse IL-22, which were marked as TBI+PBS or TBI+IL-22, respectively. Mice were monitored for counts of total thymic cells and circulatory white blood cells. Flow cytometry was applied to analyze percentages of thymic epithelial cells (TEC), thymocyte subsets and circulatory T cells. Real-time PCR assay was applied to analyze the mRNA expression levels of Foxn1, Ccl25, Aire and Dll4 in thymus. Results: ①Sub-lethal TBI treated mice expressed higher levels of intra-thymic and circulatory IL-22, compared with untreated ones (all P<0.05). ②After injection of recombinant IL-22, TBI+IL-22 mice had higher levels of intra-thymic IL-22 than TBI+PBS mice (all P<0.05). ③On day 14 after irradiation, real-time PCR assay showed that TBI+IL-22 mice had higher mRNA levels of Foxn1, Ccl25, Aire and Dll4 in thymus compared with TBI+PBS ones. Meanwhile, the TBI+IL-22 mice had higher counts of total thymic cells[(5.93±3.19)×10(6)/ml vs (1.42±0.46)×10(6)/ml, t=3.128, P=0.033] and circulatory white blood cells[(3.08±0.94)×10(6)/ml vs (1.43±0.30)×10(6)/ml, t=3.730, P=0.015] than those of TBI+PBS mice. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that TBI+IL-22 mice had higher counts of TEC and thymocytes than TBI+PBS mice on day 14 after irradiation (all P<0.05). On days 7 and 14 after irradiation, TBI+IL-22 mice had higher counts of circulatory white blood cells and T cells than TBI+PBS mice (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Sub-lethal TBI induces upregulation of intra-thymic IL-22, and injecting of recombinant IL-22 increases level of IL-22 in thymus. Injecting of recombinant IL-22 improves recovery of TEC and increases numbers of thymocyte subsets and circulatory T cell after thymic injury.

Résumé
This study is to investigate the effects of aqueous extract of Schisandra chinensis Baill (WWZ), kadsurin, schisandrin A, schisandrin B and schisandrol B on rat hepatic CYP3A. Rats received a daily gavage of aqueous extract of WWZ for different times. The livers were harvested after gavage and subjected to microsome preparation. Microsomal CYP3A activity was determined by measuring the amount of the metabolite of testosterone (6 beta-hydroxytestosterone) with HPLC. Aqueous extract of WWZ, kadsurin and schisandrin A were incubated with microsomes obtained from rat. Microsomal CYP3A activity was determined by HPLC. Primary hepatocytes were separated and extracted from rat, then were treated with aqueous extract of WWZ, schisandrin A, schisandrin B and schisandrol B. Then, the expression of CYP3A1 mRNA was analyzed by RT-PCR. As for the in vivo assay, aqueous extract of WWZ significantly inhibited the enzyme activity of CYP3A after 12 h gavage. The inhibitory effect was converted to inductive effect after 3-day gavage. Aqueous extract of WWZ could induce the enzyme activity of CYP3A after 6-day gavage. Aqueous extract of WWZ and kadsurin showed a dose-dependent inhibition of CYP3A (IC50 of 487.8 microg mL(-1) and 6.2 micromol L(-1), separately). In rat primary hepatocytes, aqueous extract of WWZ (2.5 mg mL(-1)), schisandrin A (0.1 micromol L(-1)), schisandrin B (0.1 micromol L(-1)) and schisandrol B (10 micromol L(-1)) increased significantly the expression of CYP3A1 mRNA by 23%, 55%, 42% and 27%, respectively. Aqueous extract of WWZ could show dual effect on the enzyme activity of CYP3A in rat in vivo. Meanwhile, kadsurin showed a dose-dependent inhibition of the enzyme activity of hepatic CYP3A in vitro. And schisandrin A, schisandrin B and schisandrol B showed significant inductive effect on the expression of rat CYP3A1 mRNA.
