We induced clinical form of sepsis in rats by cecal ligation and perforation (CLP) with mixed and pure culture of bacteria, with the aim to monitor glucose concentration in sepsis. The trial was carried out on 104 male rats, Wistar strain, body mass 190 to 240 g. The rats were divided in four groups consisting of 28 animals, and a control group of 20 animals. The period of observations were 12, 24, 72 and 120 hours after surgical intervention. In the examined sepsis model, a significant hypoglycemic activity was noticed in early sepsis (12 and 24 hours), but in the group with mixed bacteria culture only after 72 hours. Hyperglycemia was registered in late sepsis (72 hours) in the group of rats where sepsis was caused by pure bacterial culture of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, without statistic significance compared to the findings in the control group.

ABSTRACT Triiodothyronine (T3) metabolism was assessed in untreated and in insulin-treated diabetic rats and the results compared with a corresponding control group. Male rats of the Wistar strain were made diabetic by the intraperitoneal injection of alloxan in a dose of 17.5 mg/100 g body weight and thereafter maintained normoglycaemic for a week and until 24 h before initiation of the study. The average glycaemia in control and in insulin-treated animals was 135 mg/100 ml, whereas in the untreated diabetic rats it was 455 mg/100 ml. Each animal was injected a tracer dose of [125I]T3 containing 2 μCi of 125I and 15 ng of T3. Heparinized blood samples were obtained by cardiac puncture at 5, 18 and 24 h following the injection of the tracer. The excretion of inorganic 125I in the 24-h collections of urine was also determined. The kinetics of [125I]T3 were studied by the extrapolation method using the straight line of plasma disappearance between 5 and 24 h. It was found that the untreated diabetic rats had a significant slowing of plasma disappearance of labelled T3. The decrease in fractional hormone turnover was balanced by a slight expansion of the distribution space, which presumably led to a larger hormone pool and a normal degradation rate of T3. These events seemed substantiated by the normal excretion of 125I in the urine observed in untreated animals. A parallel study of plasma hormone binding using a red cell uptake method showed a significant reduction of binding avidity for T3 by plasma proteins in the untreated diabetic animals. The administration of insulin restored plasma T3 kinetics and binding avidity to normal, as observed in control rats. It was concluded that untreated diabetes mellitus induced changes in T3 kinetics and in T3 serum binding without altering hormone deiodination, parameter which reflects tissue utilization of T3.

Mast cells, which are the main source of histamine, are significantly affected by sex steroids. The present study was undertaken to determine the effects of bilateral castration and testosterone replacement on peritoneal histamine concentration and lung histamine concentration in pubertal male rats (Wistar strain). Three groups of animals were used in this study: (1) untreated castrated animals, (2) castrated animals subjected to androgen replacement by injection of propionate of testosterone, and (3) intact males as a control group. Castration alone produced a dramatic reduction in peritoneal histamine concentration. In addition, androgen replacement was effective in restoring the histamine concentration to the normal value detected in the control males (P<0.05, Kruskal-Wallis test). On the other hand, there was no significant variation in the lung histamine concentration between control males, untreated castrated males and castrated males that received androgen replacement (P<0.05, Kruskal-Wallis test). These results demonstrate for the first time that castration markedly reduces the peritoneum histamine concentration in pubertal male rats, and testosterone replacement prevents the decrease. Further, these procedures do not affect lung histamine concentration, demonstrating that mast cells from different tissues may respond differently to the same biological factors.

ABSTRACT Objectives: To investigate the effects of long-term, artificially created, hypofunctional occlusion and its recovery on the morphology of rat molar roots. Material and Methods: Eighteen 5-week-old Wistar-strain male rats were randomly divided according to their periodontal conditions into normal, hypofunctional, and recovery groups (n  =  6 in each). In the experimental hypofunctional and recovery groups, a bite-raising appliance was set to produce hypofunction at the molar region. All groups were analyzed at 16 weeks of age using three-dimensional micro-computed tomography. Root length, width, and area as well as the thickness and the area of the periodontal ligament (PDL) space of the maxillary first molar were calculated. Results: Roots were longer and narrower in the hypofunctional group than in the control group. The mesial root in particular showed a dramatic change. Root area also decreased significantly in the hypofunctional group compared to the other groups. Moreover, the PDL thickness and area decreased significantly in the hypofunctional group compared to the control group, but increased in the recovery group compared to the hypofunctional group. Conclusions: These findings suggest that root size and PDL structure may be reduced due to disuse atrophy resulting from a defect in occlusal function, but may be recovered following a gain of occlusal stimuli.

Background: Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by severe infections. Myocardial dysfunction has been associated with increased mortality in septic patients. Previous studies have demonstrated that LDK378, a second-generation ALK inhibitor, is a potential anti-inflammatory mediator. We investigated the effects of LDK378 on macro and microcirculation in a rat model of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) induced sepsis. Hypothesis: LDK378 attenuates the deleterious effects of sepsis on macro- and micro- circulation in CLP induced septic rats. Method: Fifteen male rats weighing between 450-550g were randomized into three groups: Sham, CLP, and CLP+LDK378. Our rat sepsis model was induced by 50% cecum ligation and two punctures with a 20-gauge needle. LDK378 (20mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneal (IP) to animals at 0h, 24h and 48 hours after CLP operation in the CLP+LDK378 group. Cardiac output (CO), mean arterial pressure (MAP); sublingual microcirculation including perfused small vessel density (PVD) and microcirculatory flow index (MFI) were measured at 6h, 30h and 54h after CLP. Results: Significant reduction in CO, MAP, MFI and PVD were observed in both CLP and CLP+LDK378 groups at 6h, 30h and 54h. However, the levels of CO, MAP, MFI and PVD reduction were significantly better in the CLP+LDK378 group when compared with the CLP group at 30h and 54h after CLP. Conclusion: LDK378 attenuates macro and microcirculation parameters in our rat model of sepsis.

Objective: To compare the number of apoptosis, necrosis and viability of germinal epithelial cells in the contralateral testicle (CT) and plasma testosterone (PT) levels in white male rats which administered Nifedipine after unilateral testicular torsion (TT) compared with control group. Material & Methods: This research was an experimental study using male white rats (Rattus Norvegicus, Wistar strain) aged 10-12 weeks and body weight 150-200 gram. A total of 30 rats were then randomly divided into 5 groups (n=6) which were negative control group (KN), positive control group (KP1 and KP2) and Nifedipine-administered group (N1 and N2). Each group performed unilateral left side torsion of testicular of 1080o anticlockwise except the KN group. There was 4-hour ischemic duration in the KP1 and N1 groups while 10 hours in the KP2 and N2 groups. Administration of Nifedipine 30 minutes before detorsion by intraperitoneal injection dosed 100 μg/kgBW. All groups performed right orchidectomy and plasma blood sampling. Measurement of apoptosis, necrosis and viability of germinal epithelial cells in the CT using flowcytometry. Measurement of PT levels using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Results: The number of apoptosis, necrosis and viability of contralateral testicular germinal epithelial cells and PT levels in the KN group compared with KP1 and KP2 groups were significantly different (p<0.05). There was no significant discrepancy in apoptosis (p>0.05) in KP1 group compared with N1 group, as well as in KP2 group compared with N2 groups. The number of necrosis, viability of germinal epithelial cells in the CT and PT level in KP1 group in compared with N1 group, as well as in KP2 group in compared with N2 group were significantly different (p<0.05). Conclusion: Nifedipine administration prior to testicular detorsion can maintain cell viability and decrease the amount of necrotic germinal epithelial cells in the CT and prevent the decrease in PT levels after unilateral TT.

Hypertriglyceridemia is one of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease and acute pancreatitis (Pejic and Lee, 2006; Brahm and Hegele, 2013; Afari et al., 2015). One way to treat it by using the apple vinegar (Malus sylvestris Mill) of manalagi varieties which contained high antioxidants and acetic acid as well as more durable than the fresh fruit. The study aimed to know the effect of the Apple vinegar of manalagi varieties (Malus sylvestris Mill) to blood triglyceride levels of white male rats (Rattus norvegicus) wistar strain with high-fat diet and induced by alloxan. The study used the post test only control group design, with 24 rats samples which were divided into three groups. The negative control group (K0) only received standard diet for 24 days, the positive control group (K1) received a high-fat diet for 7 days and induced by alloxan with doses of 90 mg/kgBW of rats, and treatment group (K2) was given a high-fat diet for 7 days, induced by alloxan and received the apple vinegar (Malus sylvestris Mill) of manalagi varieties with a dose of 0,27 ml/100 g BW of rats for 14 days. The results by using one way ANOVA showed the significance value of the data p = 0,974 (p>0,05) so that there is no significant difference of the mean of blood triglycerides levels between K0, K1 and K2. This study concluded that apple vinegar (Malus sylvestris Mill) of manalagi varieties can not significantly lower the blood triglyceride levels of white male rats (Rattus norvegicus) wistar strain with high-fat diet and induced by alloxan. Further study about apple vinegar of manalagi varieties is required to define its effects.  Keywords—: High-Fat Diet, Alloxan, Triglyceride, Apple Vinegar (Malus sylvestris Mill) of Manalagi Varieties
