High-altitude stress ulcer (HSU) has constantly been a formidable clinical challenge for high-altitude and severe hypoxia. Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) have been verified to have the ability to penetrate tissues, and the biological effects have been confirmed effective on various tissue restorations. However, the therapeutic effect of PEMFs on HSU has been rarely reported. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of PEMFs on HSU healing systematically. Sprague–Dawley rats were assigned to control, HSU, and HSU+PEMF groups. The HSU models were induced by restraint stress under low-pressure hypoxia. The HSU+PEMF group was subjected to PEMF exposure. During the HSU healing, gastric juice pH values, ulcer index (UI), and histopathologic changes were investigated. Furthermore, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was determined to analyze the severity of gastric membrane inflammations. Norepinephrine (NE), which influences gastric acid secretion, was measured. Results indicated the UI of the HSU+PEMF decreased faster than that of the HSU group. Histopathologic observation suggested that the ulcer tissue healing is faster in the HSU+PEMF group than in the HSU group. The TNF-α/total protein results revealed that the inflammation of the HSU+PEMF group is suppressed effectively. The pH values are higher in the HSU+PEMF group than in the HSU, as confirmed by NE examination. The results indicated that low-frequency PEMFs can penetrate stomach tissues to relieve the symptoms of HSU and promote the regeneration of disturbed tissues, thus implying the clinical potential of PEMF therapy for HSU treatment.
Objective To determine non-thermal biological effect of low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (LFPEF)on the stomach blood circulation and ultra microstructure of rat stress ulcer. Methods Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to three equal groups:control,ulcer without interference group(UW)and ulcer exposure groups(UE).The rats stress ulcer models were constructed with the combination method of soak and bind in the low-pressure and hypoxia circumstance. Based on the singlechip,a LFPEF generator with adjustable frequency, amplitude and duty ratio was developed. Then the stomachs of the rats were exposed to the LFPEF generator 3 hours per day.On days 1,3,5 and 7,the blood circulation of the stomach was analyzed by the content of the serum NO and contrast ultrasonography.In addition,the ulcer tissue was taken out for section-staining. Finally, the pathological change of the stomach ultra microstructure was observed under a light microscope. Results On different days, the contents of the serum NO and microbubble concentration of UE group were significantly higher than those of the UW group(P<0.05). The pathological observation showed that the restoration of the gastric tissue in UE group was faster than that in the UW group(P<0.05).Conclusion LFPEF with certain proper parameter could improve the gastric tissue blood circulation and accelerate the stress ulcer restoration.

Objective To determine the difference in blood microcirculation recovery between normal frostbite and high-altitude frostbite during the wound healing.Methods Twenty four male rats were randomly divided into control group (n=8), normal frostbite group (n=8), and high-altitude group (n=8). The normal frostbite group rats were frozen to produce mid-degree frostbite models by controlling the freezing time with liquid nitrogen penetration equipment. The high-altitude frostbite group rats were acclimated to a hypoxic and low-pressure environment for 1 week, and then the high-altitude frostbite models were constructed by the same way with liquid nitrogen penetration apparatus. On days 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, and 23 after modeling, the recovery situation of blood circulation of each group was observed with contrast ultrasonography by injecting SonoVue micro-bubble into rats' tail. Finally, the micro-bubble concentration (MC) was calculated to confirm the blood circulation recovery with software Image Pro. ResultsAt different time points, the wound area of the high-altitude frostbite group was bigger than that of the normal frostbite group, and the MC of control group was always about (27±0.2)×109/ml. On day 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, and 23, the MC was significantly lower in the high-altitude frostbite group than in the control group and normal frostbite group (P<0.05). The MC of normal frostbite group was significantly lower than that of the control group on day 3, 7, 11, 15 and 19 (P<0.05). In addition, no obvious difference in MC was found between normal group and control group on the 23th day (P<0.05).Conclusion The blood microcirculation recovery after high-altitude frostbite is significantly slower than the normal frostbite.
Plateau frostbite (PF) treatments have remained a clinical challenge because this condition injures tissues in deep layers and affected tissues exhibit unique pathological characteristics. For instance, low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) can affect tissue restoration and penetrate tissues. Therefore, the effect of PEMF on PF healing should be investigated. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of low-frequency PEMF on PF healing systematically. Ninety-six Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly and equally divided into three groups: normal control, partial thickness plateau frostbite (PTPF), and PTPF with low-frequency PEMF exposure (PTPF + PEMF). PTPF wounds were induced in the dorsum of the rats. The PTPF + PEMF group was exposed to low-frequency PEMF daily. During PF healing, wound microcirculation in each group was monitored through contrast ultrasonography. Wound appearance, histological observation, and wound tensile strength were also evaluated. Results showed that the rate of the microcirculation restoration of the PTPF + PEMF group was nearly 25% faster than that of the PTPF group, and wound appearance suggested that the healing of the PTPF group was slower than that of the PTPF + PEMF group. Histological observation revealed that PEMF accelerated the growth of different deep tissues, as confirmed by tensile strength examination. Low-frequency PEMF could penetrate PF tissues, promote their restoration, and provide a beneficial effect on PF healing. Therefore, this technique may be a potential alternative to treat PF.
ObjectivesThe poor safety profile of sunitinib capsules has encouraged the identification of targeted drug delivery systems against renal cell carcinoma. This study aimed to explore the effect of sunitinib‐loaded microbubbles along with ultrasound (US) treatment on proliferation and apoptosis of human GRC‐1 granulocyte renal carcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo (xenograft tumor growth in nude mice).MethodsLiposomes containing sunitinib were prepared by using the transmembrane ammonium sulfate gradient method and then absorbed into polymer microbubbles to generate sunitinib‐loaded microbubbles. Entrapment of sunitinib was verified by 25‐25‐[N‐[(7‐nitro‐2‐1,3‐benzoxadiazol‐4‐yl)methyl]amino]‐27‐norcholesterol staining. GRC‐1 cells were treated with microbubbles alone, liposomes alone, sunitinib alone, sunitinib‐loaded microbubbles without and with US, and no treatment (control). Cell survival and apoptosis were assessed at 12, 24, and 48 hours after treatment. Xenograft tumors were induced by implantation of GRC‐1 cells in nude mice. The animals with tumors were then randomly assigned to sunitinib alone, sunitinib‐loaded microbubbles − US, sunitinib‐loaded microbubbles + US, and no treatment (control; n = 10 per group). The tumor volumes were analyzed on the 7th, 15th, and 21st days.ResultsThe sunitinib entrapment efficiency in the liposomes was approximately 78%. The effective sunitinib concentration in each group was 0.1 μg/mL. The sunitinib‐loaded microbubble + US group showed a lower in vitro cell survival rate (P < .001) compared with the other groups. Greater in vivo inhibition of xenograft tumor growth was also observed in the sunitinib‐loaded microbubble + US group compared with the other groups.ConclusionsCombined sunitinib‐loaded microbubbles and US treatment significantly inhibits growth of renal carcinoma cells both in vitro and in vivo.

OBJECTIVES:Pathophysiologic changes of frostbite have been postulated but rarely understood, especially the changes caused by chilly high altitude environment. Therefore, we investigated the pathophysiologic changes of high altitude frostbite (HAF) caused by cold and hypoxia.METHODS:Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 5 equal groups, namely, control, superficial HAF (S-HAF), partial-thickness HAF (PT-HAF), full-thickness HAF (FT-HAF), and partial-thickness normal frostbite (PT-NF) groups. The S-HAF, PT-HAF, and FT-HAF groups were fed under hypobaric hypoxic conditions simulating an altitude of 5000 m. Then, the PT-NF, S-HAF, PT-HAF, and FT-HAF models were constructed by controlling the duration of the direct freezing by liquid nitrogen. Animal vital signs were measured after the operation, and histopathologic changes were observed after routine hematoxylin and eosin staining. In addition, the microcirculation of frostbite tissues was monitored and compared by contrast ultrasonography during wound healing.RESULTS:The S-HAF, PT-HAF, and FT-HAF groups showed significant differences in the microcirculatory and histopathologic changes in the various tissue layers (P < .05). In addition, combined cold and hypoxia caused more damage to frostbite tissue than pure cold. The circulation recovery of HAF models was significantly slower relative to NF models (P < .05).CONCLUSIONS:A safe and reproducible HAF model was proposed. More important, pathophysiologic determination of HAF provided the foundation and potential for developing novel and effective frostbite therapies.

Objective To reproduce the model of plateau hypoxia in different degrees in pregnant sheep by using hypobaric chamber for the evaluation of oxygenation status and oxidative damage in these models. Methods Twenty-four pregnant sheep conceived by successful artificial insemination were randomly divided into three groups (8 each): low altitude control group (LAC), mild hypoxia exposure group (MHE) and severe hypoxia exposure group (SHE). Sheep in the latter two groups were fed in hypobaric chamber, and the models were reproduced by adjusting the temperature, humidity, pressure and oxygen content simulating environment of different altitudes of northwest China. The degree of oxygenation, vital signs, behavior pattern and oxidative damage biomarkers were dynamically determined before modeling and 7, 15, 30, 90, 120 days after modeling, respectively. Results Thirty and 90 days after modeling, the arterial blood gas parameters of sheep in MHE and SHE group met the diagnostic criteria. Ninety days after modeling, the respiratory frequency decreased (P<0.05), the heart rate increased (P<0.05), and lassitude were found in MHE and SHE groups than in LAC group; the consumption of feeding decreased in SHE group than in MHE group (P<0.05). One hundred and twenty days after modeling, the CO and MDA increased significantly in MHE and SHE groups than those in LAC group (P<0.05), also in SHE group compared with that in MHE group (P<0.05). Conclusion Different degrees of hypoxia models of pregnant sheep have been successfully reproduced by using hypobaric chamber, and the results showed that the hypoxic environment in high altitude regions may cause oxidative stress injury of gestational sheep.

Because of constant noise estimations, the speech enhancement of standard Wiener filters is poor under varied noise environments. In the present study, we propose an improved Wiener filter method for speech enhancement based on wavelet entropy. Wavelet entropy (WE) point detection can discriminate between speech activity segments and noise segments. This discrimination provides a basis through which noise can be estimated and updated accurately, leading to accurate a priori signal-to-noise ratios obtained from updated noise estimations, reduction of residual musical noise, and enhancement of speech signals degraded by non-uniform noise. Spectrogram comparisons of enhanced speech signals between the proposed WE Wiener filter and a standard Wiener filter show that the former is better at suppressing non-uniform noise than the later. Their perceptual evaluation of speech quality measures also show that the WE Wiener filter yields better enhanced speech quality than the standard Wiener filter.
