The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of an immunomodulatory protein (Ling Zhi-8, LZ-8) on wound healing in rat liver tissues after monopolar electrosurgery. Animals were sacrificed for evaluations at 0, 3, 7, and 28 days postoperatively. It was found that the wound with the LZ-8 treatment significantly increases wound healing. Western blot analysis clearly indicated that the expression of NF-κB was decreased at 3, 7, and 28 days when liver tissues were treated with LZ-8. Moreover, caspase-3 activity of the liver tissue also significantly decreases at 7 and 28 days, respectively. DAPI staining and TUNEL assays revealed that only a minimal dispersion of NF-κB was found on the liver tissue treated with LZ-8 at day 7 as compared with day 3 and tissues without LZ-8 treatment. Similarly, apoptosis was decreased on liver tissues treated with LZ-8 at 7 days when compared to the control (monopolar electrosurgery) tissues. Therefore, the analytical results demonstrated that LZ-8 induced acceleration of wound healing in rat liver tissues after monopolar electrosurgery.

The two-photon fluorescent organic probe ERLp selectively labels the endoplasmic reticulum in live cells and tumor spheroids. ERLp can also monitor ER dynamic changes during ER stress and vesicle transport from the ER to the lysosome in living cells.

There is currently a need for experimental techniques to assay the biophysical response (water transport or intracellular ice formation, IIF) during freezing in the cells of whole tissue slices. These data are important in understanding and optimizing biomedical applications of freezing, particularly in cryosurgery. This study presents a new technique using a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) to obtain dynamic and quantitative water transport data in whole tissue slices during freezing. Sprague-Dawley rat liver tissue was chosen as our model system. The DSC was used to monitor quantitatively the heat released by water transported from the unfrozen cell cytoplasm to the partially frozen vascular/extracellular space at 5°C/min. This technique was previously described for use in a single cell suspension system (Devireddy, et al. 1998). A model of water transport was fit to the DSC data using a nonlinear regression curve-fitting technique, which assumes that the rat liver tissue behaves as a two-compartment Krogh cylinder model. The biophysical parameters of water transport for rat liver tissue at 5°C/min were obtained as Lpg = 3.16 x 10−13 m3/Ns (1.9 μm/min-atm), ELp = 265 kJ/mole (63.4 kcal/mole), respectively. These results compare favorably to water transport parameters in whole liver tissue reported in the first part of this study obtained using a freeze substitution (FS) microscopy technique (Pazhayannur and Bischof, 1997). The DSC technique is shown to be a fast, quantitative, and reproducible technique to measure dynamic water transport in tissue systems. However, there are several limitations to the DSC technique: (a) a priori knowledge that the biophysical response is in fact water transport, (b) the technique cannot be used due to machine limitations at cooling rates greater than 40°C/min, and (c) the tissue geometric dimensions (the Krogh model dimensions) and the osmotically inactive cell volumes Vb, must be determined by low-temperature microscopy techniques.
