چکیده
Recent studies have suggested that the enhanced release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of clinical inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. In the present study, we investigated the effects of the free radical scavengers edaravone and tempol in the development of experimental dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. Male BALB/cA mice were fed 4% (w/w of diet) DSS in standard powder chow for 8 days. Edaravone, tempol, or vehicle saline were then injected subcutaneously twice per day. After the experimental period, the colonic length, histological damage score, and mucosal myeloperoxidase (MPO) and serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were measured. Edaravone (15 mg/kg/day) and tempol (5-15 mg/kg/day) suppressed the colonic shortening and the damage score. In particular, tempol at 15 mg/kg/day significantly attenuated the colonic shortening and damage score. Edaravone and tempol suppressed the serum IL-6 levels, and significantly suppressed the increased colonic MPO levels. These results strongly support the involvement of ROS in the pathogenesis of DSS-induced colitis. A clinical effect for edaravone and tempol in IBD patients is strongly expected.

متن کاملOn the Classification of Full Factors of Type Iii
We introduce a new invariant S (M) for type III factors M with no almost-periodic weights. We compute this invariant for certain free Araki-Woods factors. We show that Connes’ invariant τ cannot distinguish all isomorphism classes of free Araki-Woods factors. We show that there exists a continuum of mutually non-isomorphic free Araki-Woods factors, each without almostperiodic weights.
