Objective To explore the role of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in total hepatic ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)-induced lung injury in rats.Methods This study was divided into 2 sub-projects.(1)36 rats were killed respectively at preischemia and after reperfusion,the lung tissue was then sampled.(2)12 rats were randomly divided into Wortmannin group and model control group. AKT,p-AKT protein expression,apoptotic cells and PCNA protein expression were tested respectively by Western blot,TUNEL and immunohistochemistry analysis.Results(1)Compared with that in preiscemia group,after I/R the apoptotic index (AI)was increased,the p-AKT/AKT ratio and PCNA-positive index showed bidirectional changes,and the histological changes were well identified.(2)p-AKT/AKT ratio showed a positive correlation with PCNA-positive index and a negative correlation with AI.(3)Compared with control group,the p-AKT/AKT ratio and PCNA-positive index were lower,histological changes was more significant and AI was higher in Wortmannin group. Conclusion PI3K/AKT signaling pathway had protective effect on lung injury induced by hepatic I/R,which was potentially mediated by anti-apoptosis and promoting proliferation.

Objective To establish a statistical model that can quantitatively analyze the dosimetric sparing of the bladder based on individual patient’ s anatomy in the static intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plans for rectal cancer.Methods Static IMRT plans (7 AP fields) for 100 rectal cancer patients were used to train the model from 2012 to 2013.The anatomical features were quantitatively analyzed by the sizes of overlap regions of bladder-planning target volume (PTV) and bladder-PTV+0.5(0.5 cm margin around the PTV) .The mathematic relationship between anatomical features and dosimetric sparing of the bladder was evaluated after the bladder sparing dose was analyzed using dose-volume histogram.The established model was verified in the IMRT plans for additional 20 rectal cancer patients.Results Bladder V50 was linearly correlated with the ratio of bladder-PTV overlap size to bladder volume ( denoted as x%) , with an equation of V50=0.89x-0.99.Bladder V40 showed an approximately linear correlation with the ratio of bladder-PTV+0.5 overlap size to bladder volume (denoted as y%).The mean dose depended on both x%and y%.For the additional 20 plans, the absolute deviation between predicted and actual values for V50 and V40 were (-3.13%-3.78%) and (-5.30%-5.66%) , respectively, and the relative deviation for the mean dose was (-3.94%-3.76%) .Conclusions The model obtained in this work provides an effective method for quantitatively estimating the bladder sparing dose in IMRT plans for rectal cancer.

Background and purpose: Recent literature has high lighted an important role of inflammation in promoting cancer. CRP (C reactive protein) is a way of building the bridge between inflammation and cancer. We aimed to explore correlations between CRP levels and clinical stages of nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC). Methods: We analyzed 108 cases, among which 68 cases were NPC, 20 cases were benign inflammatory diseases of nasopharynx, and another 20 were healthy volunteers as control. We detected the level of CRP using immunoturbidimetry (ITM), q test was calculated by SPSS. Results: The mean concentrations of CRP in NPC[(19.8±4.7) mg/L] were significantly increased compared to those in the control group[(6.2±1.8) mg/L], while they were significantly lower than those in benign inflammatory group[(45.6±7.9) mg/L]. In NPC, The mean concentrations of CRP in T4[(25.6±3.9) mg/L] were higher than those in T1[(17.4±5.8) mg/L], T2[(18.6±8.5) mg/L] and T3[(15.6±1.8) mg/L] respectively. The mean concentrations of CRP in N3[(28.0±7.1) mg/L] were higher than those in N0[(17.6±6.8) mg/L], N1[(21.3±5.1) mg/L] and N2[(18.6±5.6) mg/L] respectively. The mean concentrations of CRP in 1V[(25.7±5.5) mg/L] were higher than those in Ⅰ[(14.2±1.9) mg/L], Ⅱ[(16.1±3.9) mg/L] and Ⅲ[(23.0±7.7) mg/L] respectively (P<0.05). There were no statistic differences between the other groups. Conclusion: The serum CRP level is associated with the occurrence of NPC and benign inflammatory disease of nasopharynx. In NPC, the higher the CRP level is, the more advanced the TNM stage will be.

Objective To observe the effects of progesterone on the mRNA and protein expressions of nerve growth factor(NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) in the focal cerebral ischemia-reperfused rats,and to explore its mechanism of brain protection. Methods Totally 96 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into sham surgery group,ischemic reperfusion group,vehicle-treated group and progesterone-treated group (n=24 for each).The model of focal brain ischemia-reperfusion injury was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).After 2 h temporary MCAO,rats were subjected to reperfusion for 3 h,6 h,12 h and 24 h,respectively.The mRNA and protein expressions of NGF and BDNF were analyzed by real time-PCR and Western blot,respectively. Results In the injured cortex,the mRNA and protein expressions of NGF and BDNF in ischemic reperfusion group came to the peak at 6 h after reperfusion,and then gradually declined to the level of sham operation group at 24 h after reperfusion.In progesterone treatment group,BDNF and NGF mRNA and protein expressions reach the peak at 12 h after reperfusion,and were still higher at 24 h after reperfusion than in ischemic reperfusion group(P<0.05). Conclusions Progesterone plays a protective role in focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion by increasing the expressions of BDNF and NGF in rats.
