目的观察维生素C对系统性白念珠菌感染病情的影响。方法50只ICR小鼠随机分为5组(n=10),通过尾静脉注射白念珠菌菌液建立系统性白念珠菌感染小鼠模型。维生素C通过灌胃或腹腔注射给药,剂量为50 mg/kg或500 mg/kg;考察小鼠生存时间;检测肾脏载菌量;制作肾脏组织病理学标本评估真菌感染程度。结果补充维生素C后,各实验组与空白组中位生存时间均为4~5 d,各组间无明显差异;补充维生素C后,实验组lgCFU/g分别为8.342、8.412、7.350、7.764,与空白组lgCFU/g 7.134比较,肾脏载菌量增加(P<0.05)。肾脏组织病理学结果显示受检小鼠均有肾脓肿及肾小管上皮变性(肾病)损害,损害程度没有明显差异,表明维生素C不能缓解白念珠菌感染的病情。结论补充维生素C对小鼠系统性白念珠菌感染病情没有改善作用,甚至可能导致病情恶化。 |

Abstract: |
ObjectiveTo examine the influence of ascorbic acid supplementation on mouse model of Candida albicans infection.MethodsMouse models of systemic Candida albicans infection were established by the tail vein injection of Candida albicans suspension and were randomly divided into five groups (n=10).Ascorbic acid was administered by gavage or intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 50 mg/kg or 500 mg/kg.The survival time and renal fungal burden of mice were observed.Renal histopathology specimens were stained by H-E and PAS staining to assess kidney damage.ResultsThe median survival periods of animals in both ascorbic acid supplementation group and blank control group were 4-5 days.The lgCFU/g values were 8.342, 8.412, 7.350, and 7.764 in experimental groups and 7.134 in the blank control group.Supplementation of ascorbic acid had significant influence on renal fungal burden(P<0.05).Kidney histopathology examination showed renal abscess and renal tubule disorders in mice in all groups, indicating that ascorbic acid supplementation did not alleviate Candida albicans infections.ConclusionAscorbic acid supplementation can not improve the condition of systemic Candida albicans infection in mice, and can even exacerbate the condition. |
