AIM: To investigate the influence and mechanism of recombinant macrophage migration inhibitory factor(rMIF) on fibroblasts.METHODS: MRC-5 fibroblasts were divided into two groups: the treated group was treated with rMIF(25-100 ?g/L,12 h,24 h or 48 h) and the control was non-rMIF treatment.The activity of proliferation in both groups was investigated and compared by CCK-8 means.Synthesis of collagen in the culture supernatants was detected by the hydroxyproline.The expression of collagen type I mRNA was examined using RT-PCR analysis.The level of collagen type I protein induced by rMIF was quantified by Western blotting.RESULTS: The production of proliferation ratio of fibroblasts treated with 50 ?g/L and 100 ?g/L rMIF at 24 h or 48 h were increased obviously(P

Purpose To explore the features of 99Tcm-AnnexinⅤscintigraphy of venous thrombus and its feasibility of discriminating fresh venous thrombus from old one. Materials and Methods The rabbits (n=15) were randomly divided into three groups (fresh thrombus group, old thrombus group and control group). The inferior vena cava thrombus models were developed in the rabbits of thrombus groups by inserting screw cooper wire into inferior vena cava. The rabbits of control group received sham operation. 99Tcm-AnnexinⅤwas injected in the rabbits of fresh thrombus group and control group one day after operation;the same was done in the rabbits of old thrombus group 14 days after operation. Planar anterior abdominal images were obtained at 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after 99Tcm-AnnexinⅤinjection in all groups respectively. The ratios of thrombus to background of the two thrombus groups and the ratios of the area correspondent to the thrombus groups to background of the control group were calculated by ROIs counts. Then rabbits were executed, and thrombus was used for pathology examination. Results 99Tcm-AnnexinⅤuptake in thrombi was clearly visualized in all rabbits of the fresh thrombus group;whilst negative images showed in all rabbits of the old thrombus group and control group. The thrombus to background ratios of the fresh thrombus group (4.06±0.49) were higher than that of the old thrombus group (2.46±0.38), and also higher than the inferior vena cava below inferior pole of right kidney level to background ratios (2.27±0.24) of the control group (t=5.746, 7.318;P<0.05). All the thrombi of the fresh thrombus group were confirmed as fresh mixed thrombi by HE staining, and those of the old thrombus group were confirmed as old mixed organized thrombi. Conclusion 99Tcm-AnnexinⅤmay become a new acute venous thrombus imaging tracer used to discriminate fresh venous thrombus from old one.

AIM: To study the protective effects of ginsenoside Rg1 on HL-7702 cells injury induce by oleic acid (OA), and investigate its role in aldolase/AMPK/PINK1 signalling. METHODS: HL-7702 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into five groups: control group (C), oleic acid group (OA), OA+ginsenoside (Rg1) group, OA+compound C (CC) group, and OA+CC+Rg1 group. The viability of HL-7702 cells was determined by CCK8 assay and Hoechst staining. The apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potentials of HL-7702 cells were measured using flow cytometry. ATP content in HL-7702 cells was observed. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of Cleaved caspase-3, PINK1, MFN2, Aldolase and p-AMPK in HL-7702 cells. RESULTS:Compared with C group, the viability of cells in OA group was significantly decreased (P<0.05), the apoptotic rate and Cleaved caspase-3 expression were greatly increased (P<0.05), ATP level, mitochondrial membrane potentials (TMRE) and PINK1 expression were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with OA group, the viability of cells in OA+Rg1 group was significantly increased (P<0.05), the apoptotic rate and Cleaved caspase-3 expression were greatly decreased (P<0.05), ATP level, mitochondrial membrane potentials (TMRE) and PINK1 expression were significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with OA+Rg1 group, the viability of cells and p-AMPK expression level in OA+CC+Rg1 group was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Reducing the expression of aldolase in cells inhibited Rg1?s actions on PINK1 and p-AMPK and cell viability. CONCLUSION: Ginsenoside Rg1 can improve the injury of HL-7702 cells via regulating aldolase/AMPK/PINK1 signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the effect of macrolide antibiotics(erythromycin) on tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α and interleukin(IL)-8 in hyperoxia-induced lung tissue of premature newborn rats,and to study the intervention effect of erythromycin on hyperoxia-induced lung injury.Methods One-day old preterm Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups by random number table method:air + sodium chloride group,air + erythromycin group,hyperoxia + sodium chloride group,hyperoxia + erythromycin group.Hyperoxia groups were continuously exposed to oxygen (oxygen ＞ 0.85) and air group in room air.After 1,7,14 days of exposure,the preterm rats of four groups were sacrificed,whole lung of these rats were isolated,the lung histological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining,TNF-α and IL-8 in pulmonary tissue homogenate were detected by ELISA.Results The results showed that:(1) Compared with air + sodium chloride group,TNF-α and IL-8 expression in hyperoxia + sodium chloride group were significantly increased(P ＜ 0.05) after 1,7 days of exposure [1 d:TNF-α:(16.163 ± 0.574) ng/ml vs.(21.923 ±2.066) ng/ml,IL-8:(18.214 ±3.649) ng/ml vs.(23.546 ± 5.240) ng/ml ;7 d:TNF-α:(15.940 ±0.821) ng/ml vs.(19.688 ±0.764) ng/ml,IL-8:(18.541 ± 4.114) ng/ml vs.(24.255 ±4.692) ng/ml],in particular,TNF-α expression appeared to increase earlier,their expression became significantly weak in 14 days (P ＜ 0.05).(2) Compared with hyperoxia + sodium chloride group,TNF-α and IL-8 expression in hyperoxia +erythromycin group became significantly weak after 1,7,14 days of exposure(P ＜0.05) after the intervention of erythromycin [1 d:TNF-α:(21.923 ± 2.066) ng/ml vs.(18.903 ± 1.851) ng/ml,7 d:IL-8:(24.255 ±4.692) ng/ml vs.(23.508 ±3.543) ng/ml,14 d:TNF-α:(16.443 ±5.466) ng/ml vs.(14.453 ±0.963)ng/ml],but their expression became weaker in 14 days than that in 1,7 days.Conclusion The release of inflammatory mediators TNF-α and IL-8 induced by oxidation outbreak participates in the development of hyperoxia induced lung injury,erythromycin may regulate immune function,inhibits the levels of oxidant-mediated TNF-α and IL-8 induced by oxidation outbreak,and alleviate hyperoxia lung injury in premature rats.

Objective To investigate the combination effect of tramadol and low dose propofol on emergence agitation in children receiving sevoflurane for adenotonsillectomy procedure. Methods Ninety patients receiving sevoflurane for adenotonsillectomy procedure were randomly divided into control group (administration of 0.1 mL/kg normal saline 30 min before the end of operation), tramadol group (administration of 1 mg/kg tramadol 30 min before the end of operation) and tramadol + propofol group (administration of 1 mg/kg tramadol 30 min before the end of operation and 1 mg/kg propofol at the end of operation). Time of extubation and time stayed in postanesthetic care unit (PACU) after operation were recorded, scores of Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium ( PAED) Scale, modified Aldrete scores and pain scores were obtained immediately after entrance into PACU, and the prevalences of post-operative nausea and vomiting were observed. Results There was no significant difference in time of extubation, time stayed in PACU and modified Aldrete Scores among groups (P >0.05). There were significant differences in scores of PAED Scale immediately after entrance into PACU, with control group > tramadol group > tramadol + propofol group (P < 0.05). The pain scores of tramadol group and tramadol + propofol group were significantly lower than that of control group (P < 0.05). The prevalence of nausea and vomiting was the highest in tramadol group, and the prevalence in tramadol + propofol group was significantly lower than that in tramadol group ( P < 0.05). Conclusion The combination use of tramadol and low dose propofol can decrease the severity of emergence agitation in children receiving sevoflurane for adenotonsillectomy procedure, and reduce the prevalence of nausea and vomiting.

Objective To explore the effect of entire process nursing intervention during nebulization treatment of acute wheezing episodes in school-age children.Methods One hundred and forty-one children with acute wheezing episodes were divided into the experimental group (75 patients) and the control group (66 patients) by whether willing to accept nursing intervention or not,respectively.Routine nursing such as cognition of wheezing knowledge and respiration instruction was given to both groups,while specialists accompanied the whole procedure of inhalation treatment and they gave nursing intervention such as respiration,saliva swallow,expiration through nose,grasp of inhalation tank and body position maintenance to the experimental group.The improvement of wheezing and subjective sense by the patients,transcutaneous oxygen saturation (SaO_2),and the compliance of patients were measured and evaluated.Results Improvement of wheezing and comfort feeling were found in 97.3% of the experimental group,while 80.3% of the control group.And SaO_2 value (higher than 95%) was 92.0% in the experimental group,75.8% in the control group.The compliance of the experimental group was also better than the control group.Conclusions Entire process nursing intervention during nebulization treatment can improve clinical effect and the compliance of wheezing children.

Objective To observe the expression levels of kidney injury molecule-1(KIM-1) in renal tissues of ischemia-reperfusion rats,and to explore the value in the diagnosis of acute kidney injury.Methods Rats were randomly divided into two groups,control(CON) group (n=64) and acute kidney ischemia reperfusion injury (AIKI) group (n=64).Rats were sacrificed following reperfusion 2h,6h,24h,48h,72h,1 week (w),2 w,and 4 w.The changes of morphology were checked on HE staining sections under light microscope.The extent of tubulointerstitial injury was determined by Sayhan classification.The distribution and expression of KIM-1 in renal tissue were observed by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting.Serum samples were collected and serum creatinine measurement was performed at different reperfusion time points.Results (1) Compared with the CON group,the renal tubulointerstitial injury scores of AIKI group were significantly higher at all times after reperfusion (P<0.01).(2) The expression of KIM-1 was consistent with the tubulointerstitial injury.The positive correlation between KIM-1 and the tubulointerstitial injury scores was significant(r=0.887,P=0.003).(3) Compared with the CON group,serum creatinine in AIKI group was significant higher at 2h,6h,24h,48h,72h after reperfusion (P<0.05).Serum creatinine had no correlation with the damage of renal tubulointerstitial.Conclusion The expression of KIM-1 increases significantly in renal ischemia reperfusion injury,and it is consistent with the tubulointerstitial injury.Compared with serum creatinine,KIM-1 may be a more accurate biomarker of renal damage.
