Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The regulation of epigenetic factors is considered a crucial target for solving complex chronic diseases such as cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. HuangqiGuizhiWuwu Decoction (HGWWD), a classic Chinese prescription, is mainly used to treat various vascular diseases. Although our previous studies reported that HGWWD could effectively prevent vascular dysfunction in diabetic rodent models, the precise mechanism is still elusive. AIM OF THE STUDY In this study, we investigated the epigenetic mechanisms of modulating the damage of vascular endothelial cells in diabetes by HGWWD. METHODS We first analyzed common active components of HGWWD by using HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS analysis, and predicted the isoforms of histone deacetylase (HDAC) that can potentially combine the above active components by systems pharmacology. Next, we screened the involvement of specific HDAC isoforms in the protective effect of HGWWD on vascular injury by using pharmacological blockade combined with the evaluation of vascular function in vivo and in vitro. RESULTS Firstly, HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, HDAC4, HDAC6, HDAC7, SIRT2, and SIRT3 have been implicated with the possibility of binding to the thirty-one common active components in HGWWD. Furthermore, the protective effect of HGWWD is reversed by both TSA (HDAC inhibitor) and MC1568 (class II HDAC inhibitor) on vascular impairment accompanied by reduced aortic HDAC activity in STZ mice. Finally, inhibition of HDAC4 blocked the protective effect of HGWWD on microvascular and endothelial dysfunction in diabetic mice. CONCLUSIONS These results prove the key role of HDAC4 in diabetes-induced microvascular dysfunction and underlying epigenetic mechanisms for the protective effect of HGWWD in diabetes.

Vascular endothelium as a target tissue for short-term exposure to low-frequency noise that increases cutaneous blood flow. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 851:158828. [PMID: 36191705 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.158828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Harmful health effects of exposure to low-frequency noise (LFN) defined as noise with frequencies at ≤100 Hz on the circulatory system have been a concern. However, there has been no study on the effects of exposure to LFN on the circulatory system with consideration of its frequencies and decibels. In this study, the effects of short-term exposure to broad-band LFNs and their pure-tone components (pure-tone LFNs) on cutaneous blood flow in the extremities including the hands were investigated. In our fieldwork study, we first sampled some kinds of common broad-band LFNs. Our human study then showed that broad-band LFN with a narrower frequency range more strongly increased cutaneous blood flow than did broad-band LFN with a wider frequency range. Pure-tone LFNs of 70-100 Hz at ≤85 dB(Z), but not pure-tone LFNs exceeding 100 Hz, further increased levels of cutaneous blood flow. Our wavelet-transform spectrum analysis of cutaneous blood flow next revealed that the nitric oxide (NO)-dependent and -independent vascular activities of the vascular endothelium were specifically increased by exposure to pure-tone LFN. Our animal study again indicated that exposure to pure-tone LFN increased cutaneous blood flow in mice with impairments of bilateral inner ears as well as cutaneous blood flow in control mice, suggesting a limited effect of inner ear function on the LFN-mediated increase in cutaneous blood flow. The NO-dependent suppressive effect of pure-tone LFN on cutaneous blood flow was confirmed by inhibition of vascular endothelial activity through intravenous injection of an NO inhibitor in wild-type mice. Taken together, the results of this study demonstrated that the vascular endothelium is a target tissue of LFN and that NO is an effector of the LFN-mediated increase in cutaneous blood flow. Since improvement of peripheral circulation could generally promote human health, short-term exposure to LFN may be beneficial for health.

Locally Injected Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma Improves Cutaneous Wound Healing in Cats. Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12151993. [PMID: 35953982 PMCID: PMC9367528 DOI: 10.3390/ani12151993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2022] [Revised: 08/03/2022] [Accepted: 08/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Cutaneous defects in cats are commonly encountered in clinical practice, and healing can be accomplished by first or second intention. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is characterized by a plasma concentration containing a large number of platelets in a small volume of plasma. The objective of the present study was to record the efficacy of PRP infiltration in open wounds in laboratory cats. Six wounds were created in the dorsal midline of eight laboratory cats, with the wounds of one side designated as the PRP group and the wounds of the other side as the control group. Wound healing was evaluated by daily clinical examination, planimetry, laser Doppler flowmetry, and histologic examination on days 0, 7, 14, and 25, and by measurement of metalloproteinases (MMPs)-2 and -9 and tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 on days 0, 14, and 25. Based on the results of the present study, the mean time for full coverage with granulation tissue was shorter in the PRP group, the mean contraction and total wound healing percentage were increased compared to the control group, and finally, the perfusion measured with laser Doppler flowmetry was higher in the PRP group during all examination days. In conclusion, this is the first study focusing on the topical application of PRP in the treatment of open wounds in laboratory cats, and our results are encouraging—showing a more rapid healing in the PRP group.

Abstract
Lactate electrochemical biosensors were fabricated using Pediococcus sp lactate oxidase (E.C. 1.1.3.2), an external polyurethane membrane laminate diffusion barrier and an internal ionomeric polymer barrier (sulphonated polyether ether sulphone polyether sulphone, SPEES PES). In a needle embodiment, a Pt wire working electrode was retained within stainless steel tubing serving as pseudoreference. The construct gave linearity to at least 25 mM lactate with 0.17 nA/mM lactate sensitivity. A low permeability inner membrane was also unexpectedly able to increase linearity. Responses were oxygen dependent at pO2 < 70 mmHg, irrespective of the inclusion of an external diffusion barrier membrane. Subcutaneous tissue was monitored in Sprague Dawley rats, and saliva and sweat during exercise in human subjects. The tissue sensors registered no response to intravenous Na lactate, indicating a blood-tissue lactate barrier. Salivary lactate allowed tracking of blood lactate during exercise, but lactate levels were substantially lower than those in blood (0–3.5 mM vs. 1.6–12.1 mM), with variable degrees of lactate partitioning from blood, evident both between subjects and at different exercise time points. Sweat lactate during exercise measured up to 23 mM but showed highly inconsistent change as exercise progressed. We conclude that neither tissue interstitial fluid nor sweat are usable as surrogates for blood lactate, and that major reappraisal of lactate sensor use is indicated for any extravascular monitoring strategy for lactate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal timing of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is still unclear. We aimed to compare early- and delayed-effect RIPC with hematological, microcirculatory and histomorphological parameters. METHODS In anesthetized male CrI:WI Control rats (n = 7) laparotomy and femoral artery cannulation were performed. In I/R group (n = 7) additionally a 45-minute unilateral renal ischemia with 120-minute reperfusion was induced. The right hind-limb was strangulated for 3×10 minutes (10-minute intermittent reperfusion) 1 hour (RIPC-1 group, n = 7) or 24 hour (RIPC-24 group, n = 6) prior to the I/R. Hemodynamic, hematological parameters and organs' surface microcirculation were measured. RESULTS Control and I/R group had the highest heart rate (p < 0.05 vs base), while the lowest mean arterial pressure (p < 0.05 vs RIPC-1) were found in the RIPC-24 group. The highest microcirculation values were measured in the I/R group (liver: p < 0.05 vs Control). The leukocyte count increased in I/R group (base: p < 0.05 vs Control), also this group's histological score was the highest (p < 0.05 vs Control). The RIPC-24 group had a significantly lower score than the RIPC-1 (p = 0.0025 vs RIPC-1). CONCLUSION Renal I/R caused significant functional and morphological, also in the RIPC groups. According to the histological examination the delayed-effect RIPC method was more effective.

Abstract
Anesthetics have long been proven to have additional effects other than anesthesia on different organs and tissues of the human body. Barrier tissues play critical roles in human health and diseases, yet the impacts of anesthetics on barrier tissues are still not clear. This review article is aimed at summarizing different effects of anesthetics on the skin, the respiratory, and intestinal membranes from two aspects: inflammation/immunity and ischemia-reperfusion. Among volatile, intravenous, and local anesthetics, volatile anesthetics are less influential on barrier ischemia-perfusion function. Although direct comparisons between volatile and the other two types of anesthetics are still lacking, volatile anesthetics appear to have stronger anti-inflammatory effects on different barrier tissues through various mechanisms. These results suggested that when treating patients with barrier tissue complications, volatile anesthetics can provide better therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
Deprivation of maternal care via lack of somatosensory input causes offspring to experience adverse consequences, especially in the central nervous system. However, little is known about the developmental effect of maternal care on peripheral tissues such as the skin, which includes cutaneous sensory neurons. In the present study, we examined the involvement of maternal care in the development of the skin. We investigated offspring reared by early-weaned mother mice who spontaneously showed lower frequency of licking/grooming on nursing. Offspring of early-weaned mothers showed higher resistance against skin barrier disruption than did offspring of normally-weaned mothers, and had normal skin barrier function in the intact trunk skin. In the dorsal root ganglion of early-weaned mother offspring, we also found up-regulation of mRNA levels of the Mas-related G-protein coupled receptor B4 (MrgprB4), which is a marker of sensory neurons that detect gentle stroking. We further found that levels of MrgprB4 mRNA were correlated with the enhancement of skin resistance. The present findings suggest that maternal somatosensory inputs have a developmental impact on the cutaneous sensory neurons of the skin in offspring. Interestingly, the present results suggest that lower maternal care has a benefit on the skin resistance. This provides important information for understanding the development of peripheral tissues in offspring reared under severe conditions such as lower maternal care in the wild.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Type 2 diabetes (T2D)-related vascular dysfunction and hemorheological abnormalities could possibly be amplified by sickle cell trait (SCT). These alterations could potentially increase the risk of vascular complications in individuals with combined T2D and SCT. Therefore, this study used a mouse model to determine whether vascular function and blood rheology were more severely altered in combined T2D and SCT than in T2D or SCT alone. METHODS Townes transgenic mice with or without SCT received a 12-week high fat high sucrose or standard diet to create models of combined T2D-SCT, T2D, SCT, and controls. Pressure-induced vasodilation (PIV) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP)-mediated vasodilation in-vivo, and hemorheological parameters were measured. RESULTS No significant differences in blood viscosity, hematocrit, erythrocyte deformability, or PIV were observed between the control and T2D mice, or the control and SCT mice. However, blood viscosity, erythrocyte deformability, and PIV were significantly altered in the T2D-SCT mice compared to the control mice. There were no differences in SNP response between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Although neither T2D nor SCT alone had significant effects on blood rheology parameters or vascular function, combined T2D-SCT mice had significantly altered blood rheology and significantly impaired vascular function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND When laboratory animals are used one needs to anesthetize them before recording. However, the influence of anesthesia on animal blood flow oscillations has not been studied. The effects of two ways of anesthesia, zoletil-xylazine, and zoletil-nitrous oxide mixtures, on mouse skin perfusion using laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) technique were studied. METHODS BALB/c mice were used. LDF probe was placed on the ventral surface of the left hind paw. Spectral analysis of LDF signals was performed with continuous adaptive wavelet transform to identify and describe peripheral blood flow oscillations in mouse skin. RESULTS Low-frequency oscillation interval boundaries (myogenic, neurogenic, and endothelial) for mice were shown to coincide with the boundaries determined for human and rats, that demonstrate their independence from the body size. Zoletil-xylazine anesthesia significantly decreased neurogenic and endothelial oscillation amplitudes by 29% and 50% respectively and increased the amplitude of cardiac oscillations by 23% compared to zoletyl-nitrous oxide anesthesia. There were no significant changes of the amplitudes of myogenic and respiratory oscillations with zoletil-nitrous oxide anesthesia compared to the zoletil-xylazine mixture. CONCLUSION We suggest that the different influence of anesthesia modes on the amplitudes of skin blood flow oscillations is associated with sympathetic activity suppressed by zoletil-xylazine anesthesia.

Abstract
The non-invasive, in vivo measurement of microvascular blood flow has the potential to enhance breast cancer therapy monitoring. Here, longitudinal blood flow of 4T1 murine breast cancer (N=125) under chemotherapy was quantified with diffuse correlation spectroscopy based on layer models. Six different treatment regimens involving doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel at clinically relevant doses were investigated. Treatments with cyclophosphamide increased blood flow as early as 3 days after administration, whereas paclitaxel induced a transient blood flow decrease at 1 day after administration. Early blood flow changes correlated strongly with the treatment outcome and distinguished treated from untreated mice individually for effective treatments.

Abstract
Longitudinal blood flow during murine bone graft healing was monitored non-invasively using diffuse correlation tomography. The system utilized spatially dense data from a scanning set-up, non-linear reconstruction, and micro-CT anatomical information. Weekly in vivo measurements were performed. Blood flow changes in autografts, which heal successfully, were localized to graft regions and consistent across mice. Poor healing allografts showed heterogeneous blood flow elevation and high inter-subject variabilities. Allografts with tissue-engineered periosteum showed responses intermediate to both autografts and allografts, consistent with healing observed. These findings suggest that spatiotemporal blood flow changes can be utilized to differentiate the degree of bone graft healing.

Abstract
The skin’s rewarming rate of diabetic patients is used as a diagnostic tool for early diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy. At present, the relationship between microvascular changes in the skin and diabetic neuropathy is unclear in streptozotocin (STZ) diabetic rats. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the skin rewarming rate in diabetic rats is related to microvascular changes and whether this is accompanied by changes observed in classical diagnostic methods for diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Computer-assisted infrared thermography was used to assess the rewarming rate after cold exposure on the plantar skin of STZ diabetic rats’ hind paws. Peripheral neuropathy was determined by the density of intra-epidermal nerve fibers (IENFs), mechanical sensitivity, and electrophysiological recordings. Data were obtained in diabetic rats at four, six, and eight weeks after the induction of diabetes and in controls. Four weeks after the induction of diabetes, a delayed rewarming rate, decreased skin blood flow and decreased density of IENFs were observed. However, the mechanical hyposensitivity and decreased motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) developed 6 and 8 weeks after the induction of diabetes. Our study shows that the skin rewarming rate is related to microvascular changes in diabetic rats. Moreover, the skin rewarming rate is a non-invasive method that provides more information for an earlier diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy than the classical monofilament test and MNCV in STZ induced diabetic rats.
