Objective To investigate the expression and significance of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) in hyperoxia-induced lung injury of new-born rats. Methods Totally 160 rats at the age of 12 h were randomly and equally divided into air control group, hyperoxia-induced lung injury group, hyperoxia-induced lung injury+SB203580 group and hyperoxia-induced lung injury + normal saline group. After the injury was inflicted, SB203580 or normal saline at same volume was given intraperitoneally at 5 mg/kg. After the rats were executed at the time points of 12, 24, 72 h and 1 week after the model establishment, the right upper lungs were resected for histopathology, right below lungs for wet weight/dry weight, and left lungs for detecting the expression of p38MAPK by Western blot analysis. Results Hyperoxia-induced lung injury model were established successfully after 72 h by exposure to hyperoxia. No p38MAPK expression was observed in air control group. In hyperoxia-induced lung injury group p38MAPK was detected from 12 h, reached to the peak at 72 h, and decreased 1 week later, and its expression was significantly higher in this group and normal saline group than in SB203580 group. Conclusion p38MAPK is involved in the process of hyperoxia-induced lung injury, and the injury can be relieved by treatment of SB203580.

Objective To observe the changes of the peripheral blood T helper (Th)17 cells/regulatory T cells (Treg) ratio in patients with anti‐tuberculosis drug‐induced liver injury ,and to explore the relationship between Th17/Treg ratio and liver function . Methods Ninety inpatients with the diagnosis of secondary pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) from Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical College from Feb .2013 to Mar .2015 were included in this study .All these patients had normal base line liver function .After 2 weeks of anti‐TB chemotherapy ,21 patients with alanine transaminase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≥2 × upper limit of normal (ULN) were defined as TB with liver injure group ,the other 69 patients with ALT and/or AST<2 × ULN were defined as TB with non‐liver injured group .Before treatment and two weeks after anti‐TB therapy ,the peripheral blood Th17/Treg ratios and liver functions of all patients in both groups were detected in order to compare the changes of Th17/Treg ratios pre and post anti‐TB chemotherapy and to explore the relationship between Th17/Treg ratio and ALT/AST levels .Student′s t test was used for statistical analysis ,and Pearson correlation analysis was used for correlation test .Results Before treatment ,there was no statistical significance of Th17 ,Treg and Th17/Treg ratio between groups (P> 0 .05) .The Th17 levels in TB with liver injured group ([2 .522 ± 0 .388]/mL vs [2 .075 ± 0 .369]/mL ,t=3 .633 ,P<0 .01) and TB with non‐liver injured group ([2 .326 ± 0 .348]/mL vs [1 .929 ± 0 .402]/mL ,t= 6 .468 , P< 0 .01) ,and Th17/Treg ratios in both groups(0.618±0.104vs0.489±0.107,t=3.553,P<0.01 ;0.554±0.108vs0.450±0.098,t=6 .353 ,P<0 .01) were all increased after anti‐TB chemotherapy ,with statistically significant differences . However ,there was no statistical significance of Treg levels pre and post anti‐treatment in both groups (both P>0 .05) .The Th17 level and Th17/Treg ratio in TB with liver injured group were significantly higher than those in TB with non‐liver injured group (t= 2 .203 , P< 0 .05 and t= 2 .345 , P< 0 .05 , respectively) .In liver injured group ,the Th17/Treg ratio was positively correlated with ALT level (r=0 .849 ,P=0 .044) ,but not with AST level (P>0 .05) .Conclusion The changes of Th17/Treg ratio are related with anti‐TB drug‐induced liver injury in patients with secondary pulmonary tuberculosis .

Objective To study the value of CT angiography(CTA) and three dimensional contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography(3D CE-MRA) in the diagnosis of arteriosclerotic occlusive disease (ASO) of lower limb and evaluate arterial stenosis. Methods Thirty-eight patients clinically suspected ASO were studied with CTA and3D CE-MRA,twenty-two patients underwent DSA at the same time. The degree of seriousness of the stenosis shown by various imaging techniques were analyzed respectively. Results Using the DSA images as the standard reference, the sensitivity and specificity of CTA were 97.3% ,99. 1%, and MRA both were 100.0% in detecting the segments occluded. With regard the detection of segments that had more than moderate stenosis ,the sensitivity and specificity of CT were 99.3% ,97.6% ,and MRA were 97.9% ,96.4%. The degree of seriousness of the stenosis shown by MRA was overestimated than CTA on the segments that had more than moderate stenosis(x2 =5.80,P <0. 05). Conclusion CTA and 3D CE-MRA were reliable method in diagnosis of ASO.

Objective Cathepsin K (CTSK) played an important role in adipocyte differentiation.The activation of CTSK needs to convey by mannose-6-phosphate receptors (M6PR) in osteoclasts. The aim of the present study was to identify the effects of mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) in adipocyte differentiation and its underlying molecular mechanism. Methods Oil red O staining, accumulation of cytoplasmic triglycerides and glycerine release were used to assess its effects on adipocyte differentiation in the 3T3-L1cell line. The enzyme activity of CTSK was observed by laser confocal microscopy. The proliferation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was detected by MTT methods. mRNA expression of M6PR was determined by RTPCR. Results M6P could prevent adipocyte differentiation in a dose-dependent manner as evidenced by absence of triglyceride accumulation and glycerol content. Statistical significance was showed when the concentrations of M6P were 5.0 mmol/L and 8. 0 mmol/L respectively(P <0. 05). The mRNA expression of M6PR was detected during the whole process of adipocyte differentiation. With the increase of M6Pconcentration, enzyme activity of CTSK was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner. MTT method showed that the absorbance at 570 nm of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was 0. 057 ±0. 091, increased about 62. 9%at 10. 0 mmoL/L compared with the control group (P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion M6P inhibits the terminal differentiation of adipocyte, which may be associated with its effect of blocking CTSK activity by competitive binding with M6PR.

Objective To observe the influence of Buyang Huanwu Decoction ( BYHWD) on the inhibition of rat myocardial H9C2 cell activity and SH2-containing tyrosine phosphatase-1 ( SHP-1) activity induced by trastuzumab, and to explore the possible regulatory mechanism after observing the intervention of BYHWD on rat myocardial H9C2 cell transfected with SHP-1 or SHPC/S-1 gene. Methods The eukaryotic expression vectors pcDNA3.1 (+)- SHP-1 and pcDNA3.1 (+) -SHPC/S–1 were constructed and then were transfected to rat myocardial H9C2 cells using the method of liposome transfection. The cells with positive clones were screened out with G418, and then were cultured with trastuzumab for maintaining growth. Using quantitative RT-PCR, we detected the expression of SHP-1 gene and SHPC/S - 1 gene in rat myocardial H9C2 cells. The phosphatase activity analysis was used for observing the regulatory effect of BYHWD on SHP-1 in myocardial cells. Furthermore, we observed the apoptosis of rat myocardial H9C2 cells by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay after treatment with BYHWD. Results Sequencing results indicated the successful construction of eukaryotic expression vectors, which had stable expression in myocardial H9C2 cells even under the intervention of trastuzumab. The results of phosphatase analysis showed that H9C2-SHP-1 had the highest activities of phosphatase, but the activities were decreased after the intervention with BYHWD ( P<0.05) . The results of MTT assay also showed the apoptotic rate of H9C2-SHP-1 cells was decreased after treatment with BYHWD ( P <0.05) . Conclusion BYHWD can promote the proliferation of myocardial H9C2 cells inhibited by trastuzumab, and can regulate the expression of SHP-1 in myocardial cells, which will supply reference to the further study of treatment of trastuzumab-induced cardiac toxicity.
