The Journal of Clinical Anesthesiology 2016;32(4):387-392
Objective To investigate the effect of curcumin (Cur)on acute lung injury (ALI) induced by one-lung ventilation (OLV)in mice.Methods Sixty C57BL/6J mice were randomly alloca-ted into six groups (n =10):two-lung ventilation group (TLV group),OLV group,OLV+Cur pre-treated with 50 mg/kg group (Cur50 group),100 mg/kg group (Cur100 group),1 50 mg/kggroup (Cur1 50 group)and200 mg/kg group (Cur200 group).Peak and averaged airway pressure (Ppeak and Paw)of mice in each group were recorded.Mice were euthanized and the end of experiment,and left lung tissue was excised.Wet lung weight to dry lung weight (W/D)and total lung water content (TLW)were tested.Pathological changes of lung tissue were observed under light microscope,and changes of ultrastructure of lung tissue were observed by transmission electron microscope.Index of quantitative evaluation for alveolar damage (IQA)and lung injury scores were tested under light mi-croscope.The expression of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)mRNA and phosphorylated JNK (p-JNK)protein were detected respectively by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)and Western Blot.Apoptosis index (AI)of lung tissue was determined by terminal dexynucle-otidyl transferase(TdT)-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)method.Results There was no statistical significance at Ppeak and Paw of rats in each group.Compared to TLV group,the expres-sion of JNK mRNA and p-JNK protein were all significantly increased (P <0.05)in OLV group,and W/D,TLW,IQA,lung injury scores and AI were all notably higher (P <0.05);morphological and ultrastructural injuries in lung tissue were notably occured in OLV group.Compared to OLV group,the expression levels of JNK mRNA and p-JNK protein were decreasingly lower (P <0.05 )in the groups of Cur100,Cur1 50 and Cur200,W/D,TLW,IQA,lung injury scores and AI were also de-creased (P <0.05);morphological and ultrastructural injuries in lung tissue were gradually alleviated in the groups of Cur100,Cur1 50 and Cur200.However,there was no statistical significance in the in-dexes mentioned above between Cur50 group and OLV group.Conclusion Cur at doses of 100 to 200 mg/kg has protective effects on lung against OLV injury in mice,which may be related to inhibition of pneumocyte apoptosis induced by JNK.
3.The present situation and future of transplantation therapy for follicular lymphoma in the time of rituximab
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2013;22(6):335-338
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a subtype of B cell lymphoma,which derived from follicular germinal center.As the most common type of indolent lymphoma,the overall prognosis of FL is good.However,the prognosis of FL is heterogeneous.With the application of rituximab,the therapeutic effect and the prognosis of the disease is further improved.For the relapsed / refractory patients,especially who have received first-line chemotherapy with rituximab in the early,transplantation is an important choice.Compared with the previous conventional myeloablative conditioning regimen,reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) effectively reduced the non-relapse mortality (NRM),extended the allogeneic transplantation recipients,but the high rate of relapse after transplantation is the main defect.The application of donor lymphocyte infusion after transplantation therapy not only can reduce the recurrence rate but also treat the disease relapse.In the future,the improvement of transplantation strategy and the application of new drugs may bring new ideas and opportunities for FL therapy.
4.Self-adjusting files, ProTaper Next and ProTaper Universal:a comparative study of root canal cleanness and the amount of apically extruded debris during root canal preparation
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(34):5443-5447
BACKGROUND:Amount of debris extruded apicaly is an important indicator to evaluate the effect of root canal preparation instrument. Studies have shown that debris extruded apicaly can cause post-treatment pain, and thus, reducing the amount of debris extruded apicaly can decrease the incidence of post-treatment pain. OBJECTIVE:To compare the root canal cleanness and the amount of apicaly extruded debris during root canal preparation with Self-adjusting files, ProTaper Next and ProTaper Universal. METHODS:Forty-five premolars with single canal were divided into three groups randomly, and then prepared by Self-adjusting files, ProTaper Next and ProTaper Universal, respectively. Debris extruded apicaly was colected, dried and weighed. Then roots were longitudinaly sectioned and observed under scanning electronic microscope to evaluate the cleanness of the root canal. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The amount of apicaly extruded debris in the ProTaper Universal group was significantly higher than that in the Self-adjusting files group and ProTaper Next group (P < 0.05), but there were no statisticaly significant differences between the groups of Self-adjusting files and ProTaper Next in apicaly extruded debris (P > 0.05). Scores on debris and smear layer were lower in the group of Self-adjusting files than the groups of ProTaper Next and ProTaper Universal (P < 0.05), but there was no difference between the latter two groups (P > 0.05). These findings indicate that the Self-adjusting files and ProTaper Next can extrude less debris beyond the apical foramen, which may decrease the incidence of post-treatment pain. Cleaning ability of Self-adjusting files is better than ProTaper Next and ProTaper Universal.
