Objective To investigate the effect of methylene blue(MB)on liver ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rabbits.Methods Twenty-four healthy New Zealand white rabbits of both sexes welshins 2.0-2.3 kg were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=8 each):group Ⅰ sham operation(group s);group Ⅱ I/R and group Ⅲ methylene blue (group MB).The animals were anesthetized with intravenous 2% pentobarbital 30 mg/kg.Liver I/R was produced by occlusion of hepatic blood flow for 40 min followed by 60 min repeffusion.In group MB methylene blue 5 mg/kg was injected iv at 20 min before liver ischemia.Femoral artery was carmulated for MAP monitoring and blood sampling.MAP and HR were recorded immediately before(T1,baseline)and at 20 and 40 min of ischemia (T2,3) and 1,5,30,60 min(T4-7)of repedusion.Blood samples were collected at T1,T5,T6 and T7 for measurement of seruln TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations.Plasma AST and ALT activities were measured at T1,T6 and T7.Liver specimens were obtained at the end of experiment for determination of SOD activity and MDA content.Results In group I/R MAP was significantly decreased at T4-7 during reperfusion and HR at T7 as compared with the baseline at T1;while in group MB no significant change in MAP and HR Was observed during ischemia and reperfusion as compared with the baseline.The gerum TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations and the plasma ALT and AST activities were significantly increased during reperfusion as compared with the baseline immediately before ischemia in group I/R and MB and were significantly lower in group MB than in group. I/R. The SOD activity was significantly higher while MDA content was significantly lower in group MB than in group I/R. Microscopic examination showed that liver damage was less severe in group MB than in group I/R. Conclusion The administration of MB can maintain hemodynamic stability and attenuate liver I/R injury in rabbits.

Aim To investigate the influence of total fl avones of buckwheat flower (TFBF) on the productivity of the non-enzymatic advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in vivoand vitro. Methods TFBF in different dosages (0.1 g?kg -1?d -1,0.2 g?kg -1?d -1,0.4 g?kg -1?d -1) was taken orally by streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats for 12 wk. After the treatment, blood glucose, fructosamine and AGEs in plasma and kidney were measured. Meanwhile, glucose and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were incubated with TFBF at different concentrations (0.01 mg?L -1,0.05 mg?L -1,0.10 mg?L -1) respectively for 4,8,12 wk.The fluorescence intensity of glycated BSA was detected by a spectrophotometer BSA was detected spectrophotometer.Results TFBF significantly lowered the level of blood glucose in diabetic rats (P

Objective To study the prognosis of infants with bronchiolitis by testing urine leukotriene E4 (LTE4) level and investigating atopy's influences. Methods Urine LTE4 was tested in 38 eases with mild bronchiolitis (47 in acute stage, 17 in convalescent stage), 9 severe bronchiolitis cases, 15 atopic cases, 25 control cases. Peripheral blood was used to determine eosinophils count (EC) in acute bronchiolitis cases. Results (1) The level of urine LTE4 is obviously higher in cases of acute group (62.11 ± 12.23 pmol/L) than that of control group (22.19±1.50 pmol/L) , and the convalescent group (34.86 ±5.75 pmol/L) (F = 132.42, P < 0.01) ;Urine LTE4 level of convalescent group is higher than that of the control group (P < 0.01). (2) Urine LTE4 level is significantly higher in severe group (98.04 ± 8.04 pmol/L) than that of mild group (59.16 ± 12.25 pmol/L) (t = 9.92, P < 0.01). (3) Urine LTE4 level of atopy positive (88.75 ± 10.45 pmol/L) infants with bronchiolitis is significantly higher than atopy negative infants (55.28 ± 11.44 pmol/L)(t = 8.63, P < 0.01). (4) There is no significant correlation between the levels of urine LTE4 and EC for acute bronchiolitis. Condusions The level of urine LTE4 in acute bronehiolitis patients increases and remains high in convalescent stage;Higher urine LTE4 level in severe bronchiolitis cases indicates that urine LTE4 level is related to the severity of the disease;cysteinylleukotrenes is an important mediator of inflammation that may influence the prognosis of atopy positive infants with bronchiolitis;EC is not a good index to present the airway inflammation of infants with bronehiolitis.

Objective:To explore the effects of estrogen receptor α (ERα) encoded by protein encoding gene ESR1 on the radiation resistance of breast cancer cells and their molecular mechanisms.Methods:The ESR1 overexpression plasmid was transfected into estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer cells. Then, the shRNA-ESR1 vector was introduced into ER-positive cell to establish models with different phenotype. The ATG5 mRNA level and protein expression levels of LC3B-I, LC3B-II, P62, FIP200, ATG5, ATG7, ATG12, Beclin1, ULK1 were detected using qPCR and Western blot techniques. Cell death was measured using flow cytometry. The radiation sensitivity was determined through the colony formation assay. The mortality of breast cancer cells under the autophagy gene knockdown and overexpression or treated with estrogen receptor inhibitor (TAM) combined with ionizing radiation were detected by trypan blue staining.Results:Under the condition of 8 Gy X-ray irradiation, the knockdown of ESR1 in ER-positive ZR75 breast cancer cells promoted cell death ( t = 3.49, 3.13, P < 0.05), while the overexpression of ESR1 in ER-negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells inhibited cell death ( t = 4.16, 7.48, P < 0.05). Compared to the control group, the treatment with chloroquine increased the number of formed colonies of ESR1 knockdown ZR75 cells ( t = 8.49, P < 0.05), and inhibiting autophagy could reduce the death of ZR75 cells caused by ESR1 silencing. Under the treatment with ionizing radiation, the overexpression of ESR1 in MDA-MB-231 cells promoted protective autophagy, which, however, was reduced after ESR1 knockdown in ZR75 cells. Furthermore, it was observed that the knockdown of ATG5 in ZR75 cells was associated with reduced autophagy and an increase in cell death ( t = 4.19, 6.39, P < 0.05). In contrast, the overexpression of ATG5 in ZR75 cells reversed the increase in cell death caused by ESR1 knockdown ( t = 1.70, 4.65, P < 0.05). After the treatment of ER-positive ZR75 breast cancer cells with TAM, the expressions of ATG5 and ATG12 decreased, suggesting inhibited autophagy and an increase in cell death ( t = 18.70, P < 0.05). Furthermore, these processes were promoted by ionizing radiation ( t = 16.82, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The estrogen receptor encoded by ESR1 promotes protective autophagy of ER-positive breast cancer cells by increasing ATG5, further leading to radiation resistance in ER-positive breast cancer cells. Treatment with tamoxifen combined with ionizing radiation can increase the radiation sensitivity of ER-positive breast cancer cells.
