Objective To explore the changes of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and blood brain barrier in cardiopulmonary resuscitation rats and effects of MMP-9 inhibitor on them.Method One hundred and twenty Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:the sham-operated group,the resuscitation with treatment group and the resuseimfion without treatment group as control.The experiment was made in the animal experiment center of Sun Yat-sen University in Gtlangzhou.The rat eardiopulmonary resuscitation model was made by clipping trachea until asphyxia,and the restoration of spontaneous circulation(ROSC)Was defined by restoration of superventricular rhythm and mean artery pressure (MAP)≥60 mmHg for more than 5 min utes.The rats of sham-operated group were anesahetized only and endotracheal intubation WaS performed.In the resuscitation with treaUnent group ss-3cr(25,ng/ks body weight)Was given intraperitoneally after ROSC.The rats were sacrificed and samples of the brain tissue were taken inmaediately and 3 h,9 h,24 h and 48 h later.After that,the expression of MMP-9 and MMP-9 mRNA in brain tissue were detected.Water oontent and Evans blue in brain tissue Were observed.The uhmmicrostructure of brain tissue was observed under electron microscope.Analysis ofvariance wilE, done with Spssll.0 software.Results 11le expressions of MMP.9 and MMP-9m RNA ofbraintissueiUthe shanloperated group didn't show significant changees in all specimens taken at different intervals and neither the water content and tvans blue did.The Pvalue were 1.0000,0.6831,0.7124 and 0.99r75,respectively.There was no u1.tramicrostruclure change in the sham-operated group.The expressions of MMP_9 and MMP-9 mRNA in the resuscitation control group obviously increased after eardiopulmonary resuscitation,80 did the water content and Evans blue content.Compared with sham-operated group,the P value were 0.0264,0.0163,0.0000 and 0.0412,respee.tively.111e elge of ultmmicrostmeture in the resuscitation control group at different intervals were obvious.The changes of obove biomarkers in the resuscitation treatment group Was siroilar to but less in magnitude than those in the resuscitation control group.The P valHe were 0.0392,0.0373,0.O004 and 0.0180,respectively.Conclusions The expressions of MMP-9 and MMP.9 mRNA obviously increases in the cerebral ischemia model of rats with CPR,and reaches peak at 24 h.Water content and Evans blue content in brain risque obviously increases in the cerebral ischemia model of rats with CPR.BBB iS destroyed.and the peak time iS at 24 h.The injury of ultrami.crostructure of brain tissue under electron microscope iS obvious,and the peak time is at 24 h.The SB-3CT.specif-iC inhibitor of MMP-9 could decrease the expression of MMP-9 and decrease cerebral edema in the cerebral is.chemia modeJ of rats with CPR,and the protection from cerebral isehemia/reperfusion injury after CPR is obvious.

Objective To investigate the effect of precondition with Toll-like receptor 4 monoclonal antibody (TLR4mAb) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced acute lung injury in mice.Methods A total of 45 male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 3 groups:the control group ( group C),the sepsis group (group S) and the pretreatment group (group P).Mice in the group P and group S were injected intraperitoneally with LPS ( 10 mg/kg) to produce acute lung injury models.Mice in the group P was injected intraperitoneally with TLR4mAb (5 μg/g) 1 h before the injection of LPS.Expression of TLR4mRNA in lung tissue,expression of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum,water content of lung,and the pathomorphologic changes of lung were detected after 6 h,12 h and 24 h.One-way ANOVA was used for inter-group comparison and two-way ANOVA was used for intra-group comparison.Results Compared to group C,water content significantly increased at 12 h and 24 h in group S and group P; compared to group S,water content significantly decreased in group P at 12 h and 24 h.Compared to group C,the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α significantly increased in group S and group P at 6 h,12 h and 24 h; compared to group S,the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α significantly decreased at 6 h,12 h and 24 h in group P.Compared to group C,the expression of TLR4 mRNA increased significantly in group S and group P at 6 h,12 h and 24 h; compared to group S,the expression of TLR4 mRNA decreased significantly in group P at6 h,12 h and 24 h.Compared to group S,pathological damage of the lung was improved significantly in group P.Conclusions Precondition with TLR4mAb can attenuate LPS-induced acute lung injury,suppress the expression of inflammatory factors.Regulation of TLR4 pathway may be a promising therapeutic strategy for ALI.

Objective To observe the impact of diabetes and stress hyperglycemia on thrombolytic effect and short-term prognosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods A total of 127 patients with acute cerebral infarction (≤4. 5 h) who received thrombolytic therapy with alteplase at General Hospital of Beijing Military Command from January 2012 to August 2013 were enrolled retrospectively. They were divided into three groups:Diabetes group (n=35),stress hyperglycemia group (n=49),and normal glucose group (n=43) according to whether they had a history of diabetes,random glucose on admission, and oral glucose tolerance test at day 7. At 24 h after thrombolysis,the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores,recanalization rate,and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores at day 90 were compared between the 2 groups. Results Before thrombolysis,the NIHSS scores of the diabetic group, stress hyperglycemia group,and normal glucose group were 14. 2 ± 5. 1,12. 8 ± 5. 6,and 13. 0 ± 4. 6,respectively (P>0.05);at 24 h after thrombolysis,they were 14.7 ±6.0,11.9 ±4.9,and 8.0 ±2.9,respectively (P<0.05);compared with before thrombolysis,the NIHSS scores of the diabetes group and the stress hyperglycemia group had no significant change (P>0. 05);the NIHSS score of the normal glucose group was lower than before thrombolysis. There was significant difference (P <0. 05). After thrombolysis,the patients with good recanalization were 54. 3% (n=19),57. 1% (n=28),and 67. 4% (n=29),respectively in the three groups;the hemorrhagic conversion rate was 14. 3% (n=5),6. 1% (n=3),and 2. 3% (n=1),respectively. There were no significant differences. At day 90 after thrombolysis,the mRS scores in the 3 groups showed that the good prognosis rate of the normal glucose group was 72. 1% (n=31);it was significantly higher than 51. 0% (n=25) of the stress hyperglycemia group and 29. 6% (n=10) of the diabetes group. There were significant differences (P<0. 05,P<0. 01). There was also significant difference between the stress hyperglycemia group and the diabetes group. Conclusion Diabetes and stress hyperglycemia have varying degrees of adverse effects on the efficacy and prognosis of the thrombolytic therapy for acute cerebral infarction.
