Venous blood samples were collected, respectively, from the patients at 2 h, 72 h and 168 h after ROSC or healthy volunteers on enrolled day. We have collected the blood samples at 2 h of all patients who survived to 1 day or longer, the blood samples at 72 h only in patients who survived to 3 days or longer after ROSC, and the blood samples at 168 h only in patients who survived to 7 days or longer after ROSC. Sample collectors, clinical investigators, assistants, and laboratory personnel were unaware of the study protocol. Blood samples were centrifuged (2500×g) at 4 °C for 10 min to collect the serum. The serum samples were aliquoted and stored at − 80 °C until further analysis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits were used to measure serum sCD59 (Elabscience, Wuhan, China), sC5b-9 (Elabscience, Wuhan, China), C1q (Elabscience, Wuhan, China), MBL (CUSABIO, Wuhan, China), Bb (Quidel, California, USA), C3a (CUSABIO, Wuhan, China), C3b (CUSABIO, Wuhan, China), C5a (CUSABIO, Wuhan, China), IL-6 (Elabscience, Wuhan, China), TNF-a (Elabscience, Wuhan, China), NSE (CUSABIO, Wuhan, China) and S100β (CUSABIO, Wuhan, China) in accordance with the manufactures' instructions.

MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-13, Collagen II, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, and iNOS were purchased from Elabscience, Hubei, China. NF-κB p65, COX-2, and PGE2 were purchased from Taiclone (Taipei, Taiwan). All analyses were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Nitric oxide (NO) production was analyzed by the Griess reagent method. 100 μL of plasma and serially diluted standard (0.1 M Nitrite) were added to the 96-well plate. Then, 50 μL of SUL solution (0.1% sulfanilamide solution in 2.5% phosphoric acid), and 50 μL of NED solution (0.1% N-(1-naphthyl) ethylenediamine dehydrate chloride in dd water) were added. After 10 min, the absorbance was measured at 540 nm. The amount of NO was calculated by plotting the standard curve66 .

About 0.1 g of the right ovaries of each animal were homogenized on ice in 10 ml of cold phosphate buffer solution. The resultant solutions were centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for15 mins in cold centrifuge after which the supernatant was decanted into tubes and stored at −20°C for biochemical assay later.
The ovarian concentrations of UA [26 (link)], MDA [27 (link)], and GSH [28 (link)] were assayed by colorimetric method as previously reported. The activities of XO [27 (link)], superoxide dismutase (SOD) [28 (link)], catalase [28 (link)], glutathione peroxidase (GPx) [29 (link)], glutathione-S-transferase (GST) [27 (link)], and myeloperoxidase (MPO) [29 (link)] in the ovarian tissues were assayed by colorimetry as earlier documented. Also, the ovarian levels of TNF-α (Elabscience Biotechnology Inc., U.S.A.), IL-6 (Elabscience Biotechnology Inc., U.S.A.), 8OHdG (Elabscience Biotechnology Inc., U.S.A.), and VCAM-1 (Elabscience, Wuhan, China) as well as the activity of caspase 3 (Elabscience Biotechnology Inc., U.S.A.) were determined using ELISA kit following the manufacturers’ guidelines. Ovarian DNA fragmentation index was determined by diphenylamine methods as previously reported [25 ].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
