Background:Damage of intestinal mucosal barrier is a key factor in the development and progress of acute pancreatitis(AP),and is closely related with the prognosis of the disease. Aims:To investigate the protective effect and possible mechanism of mucoprotective agent teprenone on intestinal mucosal barrier in rats with experimental AP. Methods:Forty-five adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal control group(n = 5),AP model group(n = 20)and teprenone treated group(n = 20). AP model was established by subcutaneous injection of cerulein at abdominal wall. Rats in treated group were intervened with teprenone intragastrically before and after model establishment. ELISA was used for measurement of serum interleukin-1(IL-1),IL-6,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and amylase;histopathological and ultrastructural changes of small intestinal mucosa were observed by light microscope and transmission electron microscope;Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of tight junction protein occludin and ZO-1. Results:Serum levels of IL-1,IL-6,TNF-α and amylase in AP model group were significantly higher than those in normal control group(P < 0. 05),accompanied by necrosis and exfoliation of small intestinal villus,widening of intercellular tight junctions and downregulation of occludin and ZO-1 expression. While in teprenone treated group,serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines and amylase were significantly decreased as compared with AP model group(P < 0. 05),the villus of small intestine remained intact,and dense tight junctions were observed. Expressions of occludin and ZO-1 in teprenone treated group were upregulated. Conclusions:Teprenone may protect against intestinal mucosal barrier injury in AP model rats by upregulating tight junction protein expression.

Objective To investigate the effect of Amikacin and prulifloxacin alternate application in the treatment of Lung infections in ICU resistant Acinetobacter Bauman.Methods 82 cases of Lung infections in ICU resistant Acinetobacter Bauman from August 2014 to August 2016 in our hospital were selected and randomLy divided into two groups, 41 cases in control group were given routine treatment, 41 cases in the experimental group were treated with Amikacin and prulifloxacin alternate application, and patients were treated continuous for two weeks.Levels of serum CRP, PCT, WBC, N%, SCR, BUN, AST, ALT, scores of APACHE II and CPIS and clinical efficacy were observed pre-and post-treatment.Results After two weeks, levels of serum CRP, PCT, WBC and N% in experimental group were significantly lower than control group, scores of APACHE II and CPIS were significantly lower than the control group, the total clinical efficiency was higher than the control group(P<0.05), and the levels of serum SCR, BUN, ALT, AST were lower, but had no statistically difference.Conclusion Amikacin and prulifloxacin alternate application in the treatment of Lung infections in ICU resistant Acinetobacter Bauman can reduce the patient's inflammatory reaction and the degree of infection.

Objective To observe the changes of zymophagy during experimental acute pancreatitis (AP) induced by caerulein.Methods Pancreatic acinar cell line AR42J cells were cultured in 6-well plates till 90％ confluent and then divided into AP group and control group.Caerulein (1 × 10-8 mol/L) was added into AP group to establish AP cell model,and 1640 cell culture medium was added into control group.After caerulein treated for one,four,six,eight,12 and 24 hours,cells and cell culture supernatant were collected.The levels of cytokine interleukin (IL)-1,tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α,trypsinogen activation (TAP) and amylase were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.The expression of LC3 and Beclin1 at mRNA of each group were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).The LC3B protein level of each group were detected by Western blotting.The changes of autophagosome and zymophagosome were observed by transmission electron microscopy.The difference between AP group and control group was analyzed by analysis of variance.Results The level of IL-1,TNFα,amylase and TAP in cell culture supernatant of control group was (18.83±7.10) pg/mL,(14.20±3.79) pg/mL,(10.03±2.85) U/L and (39.48±8.62) pg/mL,respectively.Those of AP group significantly increased at first hour ((62.13±11.25) pg/mL,F=3.32,P＜0.01 ; (30.98±7.11) pg/mL,F=3.05,P＜0.05; (25.06±6.82) U/L,F=2.90,P＜0.05 and (128.51± 18.30) pg/mL),F=2.62,P＜0.01,at fourth or sixth hour reached peak (IL-1 at fourth hour:(71.96± 15.82) pg/mL,F=7.25,P＜0.01;TNFα at sixth hour:(39.92±8.94) pg/mL,F=4.93,P＜0.05; amylase at fourth hour:(28.83 ± 8.31) U/L,F=2.06,P＜0.05; TAP at fourth hour:(146.29± 29.36) pg/mL,F=0.14,P＜0.01) and then gradually decreased.At fourth and sixth hour,the expression of LC3 at mRNA level in AP group was 3.18±0.82,1.71±0.14,respectively,while the expression of Beclin-1 rnRNA at first,fourth hour was 2.44±0.34 and 4.13±0.30,all of them were significantly increased compared with those of control group (0.21±0.04 and 0.30±0.08,LC3 mRNA F=0.79、0.06; Beclin mRNA F=2.31、0.36,all P＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences at other time points.The numbers of autophagosome and zymophagosome of AP group were significantly higher than those of control group under transmission electron microscopy.Conclusion Zymophagy occurred during AP cell model induced by caerulein,which suggested that zymophagy might involve in the mechanism of AP.

Objective Porphyromonas gingivalis(Pg)is one of the main putative pathogens of periodontal disease,espcially of adult periodontitis. This in vitro study was aimed at observing the inhibition actions of 3 kinds of antimicrobial drugs on Pg. Methods 106 stains of Pg were isolated from subgingival plaques with adult periodontitis. The agar diffusion test was used to detect the inhibition actions of metronidazole,clindamycin and tinidazole on 106 stains of Pg. Results Their MIC was respectively:0. 25mg/L,0. 6rng/L. The MIC90 of tinidazole＜MIC90 of clindamycin. The results showed:all of metroidazole, tinidazole and clindamycin can be used effectively against Pg,clindarnycin and tinidazole showed more potent antibacterial activity than metronidazole. The different concentration of Pg-liquid (l05 CFU/ml, 106 CFU/ml and 108 CFU/ml) had not influenced the results. Couclusion This study is significant to antibiotical therapy of periodontal diseases.

OBJECTIVEThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of squamous cell carcinoma on oral bacteria.

METHODSThis study investigated the microbial contents of the plaque on the surfaces of oral squamous cell carcinomas. Samples were obtained from the central surface of lesions, contiguous healthy mucosa and saliva of 42 patients with oral squamous carcinoma before and after operation.

RESULTSThe median of bacterial colony forming units per milliliter (CFUs/ml) of saliva before operation was 8.10 x 10(8) CFUs/ml. The median of CFUs per square centimeter of the tumor surface was 5.21 x 10(5) CFUs/cm2 which was significantly higher than that of the healthy (the control) mucosa (1.77 x 10(4) CFUs/cm2, P = 0.0001). The CFUs per square centimeter of mucosa surface at the operative zone was 4.34 x 10(5) CFUs/cm2 which was also significantly higher than that of the healthy (control) mucosa(7.24 x 10(4) CFUs/cm2, P = 0.0001).

CONCLUSIONOral carcinoma can break the balance of oral microflora, which may be one of the reasons leading to the high susceptivity of these compromised patients to systemic infection.

OBJECTIVEThis study was designed to find out the changes in microflora on the stress-bearing areas after insertion of removable partial dentures, and in turn to explore the difference between such changes caused by metal bases and acrylic resin bases respectively.

METHODSSixteen patients who were ready to accept removable partial dentures were selected and divided into two groups. Eight patients used metal bases while the other eight patients used acrylic resin bases. Then at the following three points: before dentures were inserted, one month after wearing and three months after wearing, the total cultivable flora were counted and the proportions of bacteria detected on the stress-bearing areas were calculated.

RESULTSNo matter what type of bases was selected, the wearing of removable partial denture enhanced the accumulation of microflora on stress-bearing areas. The percentages of Candida albicans and Lactobacilli detected on stress-bearing areas also increased significantly (P < 0.05). When such changes were compared, the authors found that the increment of Candida albicans caused by acrylic resin bases was higher than that caused by metal bases (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe wearing of removable partial dentures forms new retention areas between the bases and the stress-bearing areas, as a result enhances the deposit of microbe and facilitate the growth of Candida albicans and Lactobacilli. Compared with increment of Candida albicans caused by metal bases, the increment relating to acrylic resin bases is more evident.
