چکیده مقاله:

Many complicated mechanisms are involved in brain ischemia and the role of inflammatory factors in the progression of post-ischemic injury is inevitable. In present study, anti-inflammatory effect of berberine has been investigated in reperfusion injury after acute ischemic stroke. Male Wistar rats weighing 250-270 gr were randomly divided into four cohorts: healthy rats (control, n=20), sham-operated animals (sham, n=20), ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) cohort (MCAO=20), I/R+ berberine cohort (MCAO+ berberine, n=20). The animal subjected to ischemia for 45 min and berberine (40mg/kg) was interaperitoneally administrated 1 h after reperfusion. At 24 h after reperfusion, the animals were sacrificed under deep anesthesia and expression changes of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines were determined by immunohistochemical assay. To evaluate brain edema, brain water content was measured in experimental groups 24 h after reperfusion. The infarct size was determined using 3, 5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. significant increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL1β and TNFα) were found in MCAO cohort compared with control and sham cohorts. Likewise, expression level of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL10) was slightly increased following I/R in MCAO cohort. berberine conferred a neuro-protective effect via reduction of infarct size, preventing brain edema and significant down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and up-regulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines. In sum, our findings demonstrate that berberine post-treatment attenuates focal cerebral IR injury by targeting inflammation process. This opens up potential avenues for future research and treatment of ischemic stroke.

Impact of Opium Addiction on Levels of Pro- and Anti-inflammatory Cytokines after ‎Surgery

Background: Opium addiction alters immune responses to stresses such as an injury due to changing the secretion of cytokines. The present study assessed the effect of opium addiction on the cytokines [tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin-4 (IL-4), and IL-10] before and after laparotomy. Methods: Male rats were randomly divided into control and opium addicted (n = 20...
