Objective Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of might-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) was utilized to analyze the protein fingerprint in brain-gut interaction of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) model rats' colon, so as to find the clues for IBS. Methods Fourteen healthy male adult Wistar rats were selected and divided into a control and a chronic and acute stress ( CAS) group. Colon motility, visceral sensation and behavior changes of rats were detected to evaluate the model. MALDI-TOF-MS was used to observe the overall view of protein in colon so as to study whether there are abnormalities of protein levels in IBS. Results As compared with those in the control group, the number of fecal pellets [ (6. 00 ± 1. 69 ) pellets/1 h vs ( 1. 14 ± 0. 69 ) pellets/1 h, P < 0. 01 ] and frequency of abdominal contraction induced by colorectal distention (CRD) increased, while the amount of weight gain [ (298. 88 ± 18.61)gvs (348. 00±12. 44)g, P<0.01] and consumption of sucrose solutions [ (13. 63 ± 1. 69) ml/1 h vs (19.00±3.06) ml/1 h, P<0.05] decreased in the CAS group (P <0. 05). As far as protein/peptide quality different peak was concerned, CAS rats had 12 different peaks compared with the control rats. The different proteins could be divided into 4 types, which were related to iron secretion, protein synthesis, G protein system and immunity. The protein levels of the model group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0. 05). Conclusions The CAS rats integrate the major characteristics of IBS such as altered colon motility, higher visceral hypersensitivity and psychiatric disorder and can mimic the brain-gut interaction of IBS partly. The detection of differential proteins provides reference for the pathogenesis and treatment of IBS.

Objective To explore the prevalence of autoimmune liver disease-related antibodies in patients with PBC, and study the clinic significance of autoimmune liver disease related antibody profiles in patients with PBC. Methods The anti-AMA in 247 specimens from patients with liver disease, including 173 PBC, 37 AIH and 37 LDC were detected by IIF. Anti-AMA-M2, anti-GP210, anti-SP100, anti-SLA, anti-LCI and anti-LKM-1 antibodies were measured by ELISA. Results The positive rates of anti-AMA, anti-AMA-M2, anti-GP210, anti-SPl00, anti-LC1, anti-SLA and anti-LKM-1 antibodies were92. 5% (160/ 173), 86.7% (150/173), 35. 8% (62/173), 24. 3% (42/173), 0.6% (1/173), 0% (0/173) and 0.6%(l/173) in PBC group, 18.9% (7/37), 5.4% (2/37),8.1% (3/37),13. 5% (5/37),0% (0/ 37 ) ,5.4% (2/37 ) and 2. 7% (1/37 ) in AIH group and 5.4% (2/37), 2.7% (1/37 ) , 5.4% (2/37 ) , 10. 8% (4/37) , 0% (0/37) , 0% (0/37) and 0% (0/37) respectively in LDC group. Anti-AMA, anti-AMA-M2 and anti-GP210 was detected more frequently in patients with PBC group than AIH group (x~2 =101.3,100.8 and 11.0,P<0.01) while anti-SLA was detected more frequently in patients with AIH group than PBC group (x~2 = 9. 4, P < 0.01). The levels of ALT, TBIL, DBIL, GGT and ALP were higher in patients known to have positive anti-GP210 ( U = 1212.0,1199.0,1218.0,1074.0,1030. 0,P < 0. 01) and the levels of IgM were higher in patients known to have positive AMA ( U = 94.0, P <0.05). Conclusions Anti-LCI, anti-SLA and anti-LKM-1 antibodies in PBC and AIH are detected at a very low frequency in the corhort. Anti-GP210 antibody is found to be associated with the severity of liver damage while AMA is found to be associated with immunologic function in patients with PBC. There is little significance for screening anti-LCI, anti-SLA, anti-LKM-1 antibodies in patients with autoimmune liver diseases. It is of importance to detect anti-AMA and anti-GP210 antibodies for diagnosis of PBC.
