Objective To investigate the effect of electro-acupuncture (EA) on nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression in the renal tissues of rabbits with endotoxic shock-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) and the relationship with p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) signaling pathway.Methods Seventy male New Zealand white rabbits,weighing 1.5-2.0 kg,aged 2 months,were randomized into 7 groups (n =10 each) using a random number table:normal control group (C group),endotoxic shock-induced AKI group (AKI group),EA + endotoxic shock-induced AKI group (EA group),non-acupoints + endotoxic shock-induced AKI group (SA group),EA + endotoxic shock-induced AKI + specific p38MAPK blocker SB203580 group (EAS group),SB203580 group (S group),and ethanol group (A group).EA (intensity 1-2 mA,frequency 2/100 Hz,wave length 0.2-0.6 ms) of Zusanli and Shenyu lasting for 15 min was performed once a day for 5 consecutive days in EA and EAS groups.In SA group,EA was performed at the points 0.5 cm lateral to the acupoints of bilateral Zusanli and Shenyu using the parameters of EA mentioned above.At 24 h after the last EA,endotoxic shock-induced AKI was induced by injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 5 mg/kg (in 2 ml normal saline) in AKI,EA,SA and EAS groups,while the equal volume of normal saline was given in the other groups.At 30 min before the model was established,5/μmol/kg SB203580 (in 0.5 ml ethanol) was injected intravenously in EAS and S groups,while ethanol 0.5 ml was given in A group and the equal volume of normal saline was given in the other groups.Blood samples were obtained at 6 h after administration of LPS or normal saline for determination of serum urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) concentrations.The animals were sacrificed and kidney specimens were obtained for microscopic examination of pathological changes which were scored and for measurement of Nrf2 protein expression and phosphorylation of p38MAPK (by Western blot) and Nrf2 mRNA expression (using fluorescent quantitative PCR).Results Compared with C group,the pathological score and serum BUN and Cr concentrations were significantly increased,and Nrf2 mRNA and protein expression was up-regulated in AKI,EA,SA and EAS groups,the phosphorylation of p38MAPK was increased in AKI,EA and SA groups,and no significant changes were found in the parameters mentioned above in S and A groups.Compared with AKI group,the pathological score and serum BUN and Cr concentrations were significantly decreased,and Nrf2 mRNA and protein expression was up-regulated in EA and EAS groups,the phosphorylation of p38MAPK was increased in EA group,the phosphorylation of p38MAPK was decreased in EAS group,and no significant changes were found in the parameters mentioned above in SA group.Compared with EA group,the pathological score and serum BUN and Cr concentrations were significantly increased,Nrf2 mRNA and protein expression was down-regulated,and the phosphorylation of p38MAPK was decreased in EAS group.Conclusion The mechanism by which EA mitigates endotoxic shock-induced AKI may be related to activation of p38MAPK signaling pathway and up-regulation of Nrf2 expression in renal tissues of rabbits.

Objective To investigate the effects of CORM-2 via p38 mitogeu-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) signaling pathway on the expression of the mitochondrial fission protein 1 (Fisl) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse pulmonary macrophages.Methods The rat subculture alveolar macrophages were seeded on 96 well plates with 2 × 105/ml densities.After 24 hours of culture,it was divided into 4 groups by random number table method:normal control group (group C),group LPS (group L),CO releasing agent CORM-2 + LPS group (group LC),p38MAPK inhibitor SB203580 + CORM-2 + LPS group (group LCS).When the cells were incubated for 24 hours,the mitochondrial MDA content and SOD activity were determined by ELISA kit,the levels of HO-1、mitochondrial fission protein Fis1 and p38 were determined by Western blot,the expressions of HO-1 and mitochondrial fission protein Fis1 were detected by RT-PCR.Results Compared with the C group,the levels of MDA [(2.43 ±0.12) vs.(3.59 ±0.07)],HO-1 [(1.31±0.27) vs.(1.65±0.41)],Fis1 [(1.27±0.23) vs.(1.65±0.41)] andp38 [(1.01 ±0.24) vs.(1.36 ±0.17)] in group L were increased,and the activity of SOD [(81.7 ± 1.62) vs.(54.7 ± 1.62)] was decreased (P ＜ 0.05);Compared with the group L,the MDA content [(3.59 ± 0.07) vs.(3.08 ±0.52)] and the level of Fis1 [(2.01 ±0.35) vs.(1.48 ±0.39)] in group LC were down-regulated,and the levels of SOD [(54.7 ± 1.62) vs.(67.4 ± 1.32)]、and the expressions of HO-1 [(1.65±0.41)vs.(2.25±0.18)] andp38 [(1.36±0.17) vs.(1.78±0.23)] wereup-regulated (P ＜0.05).Compared with the group LC,the MDA content [(3.08 ±0.52) vs.(4.16 ±0.19)] and the expression of Fis1 [(1.48 ±0.39) vs.(1.96 ±0.31)] in group LCS were increased,and the level of SOD [(67.4±1.32)vs.(45.9±1.52)]、and the expressions of HO-1 [(2.25±0.18)vs.(1.78± 0.19)] and p38 [(1.78 ±0.23) vs.(1.12 ±0.29)] were decreased (P ＜0.05).Conclusions HO-1/CO system inhibits the expression of Fis1 in LPS-induced lung macrophages,which may be regulated by p38MAPK signaling pathway.

Objective This study aims to investigate the association of apoB/apoA-1 ratio with insulin resistance (IR) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) . Methods A total of 224 patients with NAFLD and 166 healthy subjects were enrolled as NAFLD group and control group. Weight, height and blood pressure were recorded. Serum levels of fasting blood glucose (FPG), insulin (Fins), lipids, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were measured. Homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) indices were calculated. Results Compared with control group, NAFLD group had higher apoB/apoA-1 ratio (0.76 ± 0.28 vs 0.61 ± 0.26) and HOMA-IR (2.43 ± 1.68 vs 1.86 ± 1.61) . Spearman correlation analysis showed that in NAFLD group, HOMA-IR positively correlated with age, body mass index (BMI), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), apoB/apoA-1 ratio (r =0.34, P < 0. 05) and HbA1c, and negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) . Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that apoB/apoA-1 ratio was still associated with HOMA-IR in NAFLD group after adjustment for age and BMI. Conclusion The apoB/apoA-1 ratio is closely associated with IR in patients with NAFLD. ApoB/apoA-1 ratio may play a role in the development of IR in NAFLD.

Objective To investigate the effects of CYP3A5~* 3 genetic polymorphism on analgesia with fentanyl. Methods One hundred and eighty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 20-50 yr, Hart nationality, Henan province, scheduled for elective abdominal total hysterectomy or myomectomy under general anesthesia, were enrolled in this study. The polymorphic sites of the CYP3A5~* 3 allele were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The patients were assigned to one of 3 groups according to their genotypes: wild homozygote group, mutation heterozygote group and mutation homozygote group. Midazolam, remifentanyl, propofol and succinylcholine were used for induction of anesthesia. The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation. Remifentanyl, propofol and atracurium were given iv for maintenance of anesthesia. The pain was assessed with visual analog scale (VAS) after consciousness was regained. When VAS score > 3, the patients were given fentanyl 20 μg every 5 min until VAS score was decreased to ≤3 and then patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with fentanyl was started. The background infusion rate of fentanyl 1.0 mg and droperidol 5 mg (in 100 ml normal saline) was 0.5 ml/h. The PCIA pump was programmed to give a 2 ml bolus of fentanyl solution with a 5 min lockout interval, 7 time successful delivery per hour and maximum dosage 145 μg/h, and VAS score was maintained less than 3. The amount of fentanyl used within 24 h after surgery was recorded. Results No significant difference was detected in the fentanyl consumption in the 24 h during PCIA among the 3 groups (P> 0.05). Conclusion The genetic polymorphism CYP3 A5~* 3 is not the factor contributing to the individual variation in the patient's response to analgesia with fentanyl.

Objective To evaluate the myocardial protective effect of dexmedetomidine during non-cardiac surgery in patients with coronary heart disease.Methods Eighty ASAⅡor Ⅲ patients with coronary heat disease (NYHA Ⅱ or Ⅲ)aged 43-76 yr weighing 52-80 kg scheduled for elective upper abdominal surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups(n=40 each)：control group(group C)and dexmedetomidine group(group D).Anesthesia was induced with etomidate 0.25 mg／kg，sufentanil 0.5 μg／kg and vecuronium 0.1 mg／kg.The patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated.A loading dose of dexmedetomidine 1μg/kg was injected intravenously 10 min before induction followed by infusion at 0.4 μg·kg-1·h-1 until the end of operation in group D.While equal volume of normal saline was given in group C.BIS was maintained at 40-49.Blood samples were taken before induction and at the end of operation for determination of serum concenlrations of IL-6，TNF-α，cardiac troponin Ⅰ(cTnI)and glycogen phosphorylase BB(GP-BB).The adverse cardiovascular events were recorded during operation.Results The serum concentrations of IL-6，TNF-α，cTnI and GP-BB and incidences of tachycardia and myocardial ischemia were significantly lower，while the incidences of bradycardia highcr in group D than in group C (P<0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine Can exert the myocardial protective effect during non-cardiac surgery in patients with coronary heart disease and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Objective To evaluate the effect of electro-acupuncture (EA) at Zusanli and Feishu on endotoxin shock-induced acute lung injury in rabbits.Methods Sixty healthy male New Zealand white rabbits aged 2 months weighing 1.5-2.0 kg were randomly divided into 6 groups (n =10 each):group sham operation (group S); group zinc protoporphyrin-Ⅸ (ZnPP-Ⅸ) (group Z); group lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (group L); group LPS + EA (group EL) ; group LPS + sham EA (group SEL) and group LPS + EA + ZnPP-Ⅸ (group ELZ).The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 10％ chloral hydrate 400 mg/kg and tracheostomized.The animals kept spontaneous breathing.Right internal carotid artery was cannulated for BP monitoring.Ear vein was cannulated for drug administration.LPS 5 mg/kg was injected iv in groups L,EL,SEL,ELZ.Endotoxin shock was confirmed by decrease in BP by 20 ％ of the baseline value and PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 300.ZnPP-Ⅸ (heme oxygenase (HO-1 ) inhibitor)10μmol/kg was injected intraperitoneal at 2 h after LPS injection in groups Z and ELZ.Bilateral 15 min EA stimulation of Zusanli and Feishu ( according to atlas of animal acu-points) was performed once a day for 5 days before LPS administration in groups EL and ELZ.The animals were sacrificed by blood-letting at 6 h after LPS administration.The lungs were removed for microscopic examination (0 =no injury,4 =most severe injury),detection of alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis (by TUNEL) and determination of HO-1 protein and mRNA expression.Results LPS significantly increased lung injury scores,alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis index (the number of apoptotic cells/total cells) and HO-1 protein and mRNA expression.EA significantly attenuated lung injury and alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis induced by LPS and further increased the expression of HO-1 protein and mRNA in group EL as compared with group L.The protective effects of EA was counteracted by ZnPP- Ⅸ in group ELZ.Conclusion EA at Zusanli and Feishu can attenuate endotoxin shock-induced lung injury by up-regulation of HO-1 expression and inhibiting alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis in the lung.
