Objective To investigate the role of prenatal single-dose administration of dexamethasone and ambroxol on the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) of fetal and neonatal rats. Methods Fifty-four pregnant rats were randomly divided into three groups with eighteen rats in each group:rats treated with 0.2 mg/kg dexamethasone (group 1),0.2 mg/kg dexamethasone and 100 mg/kg ambroxol (group 2),or saline(controls) on the 17th day of gestation.The lung tissues of the offsprings were harvest independently on the 19th day of gestation,the postnatal 3 days and 7 days.The expressions of TLR4 in fetal/neonatal rat lungs of each pregnant rat were analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR),immunohistochemistry stain,and Western blot. ANOVA and two independent samples t-test were applied. Results On the 19th day of pregnancy,TLR4 mRNA expression was up-regulated in lungs of the two treatment groups compared with controls(controls:0.26 ± 0.18,group 1:0.39 ± 0.21,t =5.866,P< 0.05 ; control:0.27 ± 0.22,group 2:0.46 ± 0.13,t =9.572,P< 0.01 ).TLR4 mRNA expression was up-regulated in group 2 compared with controls on the postnatal 3 days and 7 days(postnatal 3 d:0.59 ± 0.23 and 0.47 ±0.24,t=2.295,P<0.05;postnatal 7 d:0.52±0.12 and 0.35±0.17,t=4.219,P<0.05),while no significant difference was found in group 1 compared with the controls(postnatal 3 d:0.45±0.22 and 0.44±0.14,t=0.128,P>0.05; postnatal 7 d:0.40±0.16 and 0.36 ±0.12,t=1.365,P>0.05).Results of the immunohistochemistry demonstrated that on the 19th day of pregnancy,the protein expression of TLR4 was significantly increased in the two treatment groups (controls:0.20 ± 0.29,group 1:0.35±0.32,t=7.179,P<0.05 ;controls:0.20±0.29,group 2:0.39±0.25,t=10.764,P<0.01).The protein expression of TLR4 was significantly increased in group 2 on the postnatal 3 days and 7 days(postnatal 3 d:0.55±0.32 and 0.37±0.18,t=7.121,P<0.05;postnatal 7 d:0.41±0.29and 0.25±0.24,t=6.355,P<0.05),while no notable difference was found between group 1 and the control (postnatal 3 d:0.40±0.21 and 0.37±0.18,t=0.683,P>0.05 ;postnatal 7 d:0.28±0.31 and 0.25±0.24,t=0.462,P>0.05).Results of the Western blot demonstrated that on the 19th day of pregnancy,the protein expression of TLR4 was significantly increased in the two treatment groups (controls:0.15 ± 0.12,group 1:0.27± 0.20,t =7.835,P<0.05; controls:0.16 ± 0.18,group 2:0.34±0.16,t=10.470,P<0.01).The protein expression of TLR4 was significantly increased in lungs of the combination administration group on the postnatal 3 days and 7 days(postnatal 3 d:group 2:0.37±0.20 and 0.25±0.22,t=6.379,P<0.05; postnatal 7 d:0.35±0.15 and 0.24±0.13,t=5.152,P<0.05),while no notable difference could be found between group 1 and the control (postnatal3 d:0.32±0.26 and 0.25±0.16,t=1.167,P>0.05; postnatal 7 d:0.29±0.19 and 0.24±0.10,t =1.248,P > 0.05 ). Conclusions Prenatal single-dose administration of dexamethasone may up-regulate the expression of TLR4 in the rat fetal lung.The up-regulation of TLR4 might be one of the critical factors for glucocorticoid-induced maturity of fetal lung.Prenatal single-dose administration of dexamethasone and ambroxol may have effects on the regulation of TLR4 not only in fetal rats,but also in neonatal rats.

Objective To analyze the value of mini-open approach beside costodiaphragmatic recess in thoracolumbar spine surgery. Methods This approach was applied in 31 anterior thoracolumbar spine surgeries, including 22 men and 9 women, with a mean age of 41 years old (range, 26-58 yrs). The diagnosis were burst fractures in 27 cases (T12 level in 12 cas?es and L1 level in 15 cases) and disc herniations with osteochondrosis in 4 cases. An antero-lateral 10-15 (average is 12) cm incision was performed, then the 11th rib was resected and the extraperitoneal space below diaphragma was disconnected. The pleura fold was identified beneath the rib bed, so the gap beside the costdiaphragmatic recess was entered through an in?cision beyond the fold. The diaphragm and medial arcuate ligament were clipped and vertebral body from T11 to L2 were ex?posed. Results The lateral side of T11 to L2 vertebral body was sufficiently exposed in all the 31 patients. In 26 patients, the pleura fold was beyond the bed of the 11th rib, so the 11th intercostals vessel and nerve were exposed and protected, and the costodiaphragmatic recess was reached through the superior border of the 12th rib. Laceration of pleura occurred in 4 cases af?ter it was sutured, but the extra-pleura approach could still be used after repairing without invading into thorax. Fixation and fusion were performed from T11 to L2. Complications include intercostals nerve pain were seen in 3 cases, which resolved with conservative treatment. Conclusion The mini-open approach beside costodiaphragmatic recess can be used in anterior thoraclumbar spine surgery with sufficient explosion and minimum injury in which thoracic cavity.

Aim Our previous study has found that ur-solic acid( UA) increased intracellular reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) production and adenosine monophos-phate-activated protein kinase ( AMPK ) phosphoryla-tion, inhibited signal transducer and activator of tran-scription 3 ( STAT3 ) phosphorylation and cyclooxygen-ase-2 ( COX-2 ) expression in gastric cancer cells . However , the molecular mechanism by which UA in-hibits COX-2 expression in gastric cancer cells has not been fully clarified .In this study we aimed to further clarify the signal transduction pathways involved in the UA-mediated inhibition of COX-2 expression in gastric cancer cells .Methods Human gastric cancer cell lines SGC-7901 and MKN-45 were routinely cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% heat-in-activated fetal calf serum .Sub-confluent cell cultures were pre-treated with antioxidant N-acetylcysteine ( NAC) , AMPK activator 5-amino-4-imida-zolecarbox-amide-riboside ( AICAR ) , AMPK inhibitor compound C, or STAT3 inhibitor WP1066 and then treated with or without UA for 24 h.The expression of AMPK and phosphorylated AMPK ( p-AMPK ) , STAT3 and phos-phorylated STAT3 ( p-STAT3 ) , as well as COX-2 was detected by Western blot analysis .Results Antioxi-dant NAC and AMPK inhibitor compound C blocked UA-induced inhibition of STAT 3 phosphorylation and down-regulation of COX-2 expression in gastric cancer cells.Both AMPK activator AICAR and UA inhibited STAT3 phosphorylation and COX-2 expression; the combination of two drugs resulted in further reduction . STAT3 inhibitor WP1066 did not affect UA-induced AMPK phosphorylation , whereas it inhibited STAT3 phosphorylation and COX-2 expression .The inhibitory effects on the STAT3 phosphorylation and COX-2 ex-pression were significantly enhanced when SGC-7901 and MKN-45 cells were treated simultaneously with WP1066 plus UA.Conclusion UA inhibits COX-2 expression in gastric cancer cells , which may be medi-ated through ROS/AMPK/STAT3 signal transduction pathway .
