Objective To clarify the involvement of the free fatty acids(FFA)and lipid peroxida-tion in rat pancreatic tissue during the development of pancreatic injuries inducecd by long-term high-fat diet.Mehtods The male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=72) were randomized into 6 groups (n=12).One group (group control) received standard chow for 18 weeks, the other five groups (group HFD) were fed with a high-fat diet respectively for 2, 4, 6, 10 and 18 weeks.Serum TG and TCH, the his-topathological changes, pancreatic malondialdehyde (MDA) content, superoxide dismutase (SOD) ac-tivity and the concentration of free fatty acids in pancreatic tissues were examined.Pancreatic fibrosis was assessed using Sirius Red staining.The expression of desmin, a smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), platelet-derived growth factor receptor type β (PDGFRβ) and transforming growth factor131 (TGFβ1) was determined with immunohistochemistry.Results Pancreatic MDA content, the number of desmin and α-SMA positive cells were significantly increased in all the HFD groups.The FFA content, PDGFRβ, and TGFβ1 in pancreatic tissues increased in rats of 2, 4 and 6 week HFD groups accompa-nied with typical histological alternations including edema, capillary vessels hyperplasia, and focal aci-nar degeneration, vaculation of acinar and islet cells.In 6, 10 and 18 weeks HFD groups, the lesions had progressed and acinar cell atrophy, fatty replacement, deposition of hemosiderin, and interstitial collagen deposition were observed.Conclusions The increased amounts of FFA and lipid peroxidant in pancreatic tissues are associated with pancreatic cell injuryies and synthesis of collagen by activated PSCs during the chronic high-fat diet intake.

Objective To explore the clinical application of pereutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA) and endovascular bracket to treat lower extremity arteriosclorotic occlusion.Methods The clinical data of 36 patients(41 affected limbs)with lower extremity atherosclerotic occlusion who were treated with PTA and bracket implantation from Jan 2008 to Dee 2008 were summarized.Results The initial successful rate of PTA wag 95.1% (39/41).The clinical symptoms were considerably improved in 37 affected limbs,representing of pain disappearing,skin temperature increasing and the healing of refractory ulcer.The index of ankle to brachial significantly increased from 0.54±0.11 to 0.79±0.15(before v.s.after therapy).However,no improvement was observed in 3 affected limbs,and one affected limb Wag re-operated by the amputation.In the following 3 to 15 months.three superficial femorsI arteries were re-obstructed at the 5th,6th,12th month,respectively.One arteria tibialis pesterior was re-obstructed at the 8th month.The cumulative cure rate was 89.7%(35/39).Conclusions PTA is effective in treating atherosclerotic occlusive diseases.The endovascular bracket can increase the cumulative cure rate.PTA and endovascular bracket are safe and effective in treating lower extremity arteriosclerotie occlusion.

Objective To explore the association between complement C3 and the prevalence of simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Methods A total of 2 799 health check-up participants were recruited from Tianjin Medical University General Hospital-Health Management Centre. Serum C3 levels were measured using immunoturbidimetry method and simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis were diagnosed by liver ultrasonography and serum alanine aminotransferase concentration. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between quartiles of serum C3 levels and the prevalence of simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Results After adjusting for covariates, the odds ratios (95% confidence interval) of simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis for increasing quartiles of C3 were: 1.00 (reference), 2.15 (1.55, 3.01), 3.28 (2.35, 4.6) and 4.31 (3.11, 6.02); and 1.00 (reference), 4.54 (1.68, 15.91), 7.81 (3.02, 26.67) and 14.91 (5.94, 50.14) (both P for trend<0.000 1), respectively. Conclusions The study found that the elevated C3 levels were significantly associated with the prevalence of simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Further study is needed to clarify whether C3 has a predictive value for the occurrence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Objective To investigate the effect of proliferation,apoptosis and cell cycle of 3-MA on rat endothelial progenitor cells. Methods Bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells were isolated from rat bone marrow by ficoll. There were five groups. The control group and four 3-MA concentration groups: 1. 25 mmol/L,2. 5 mmol/L,5 mmol/L, 10 mmol/L. MTT was used to measure the proliferation of endothelial progenitor cells. Flow cytometry ( FCM) was used to detect cell apoptosis and cell cycle. Results (1)5 mmol/L 3-MA promotes proliferation of endothelial progenitor cells, while 10 mmol/L 3-MA inhibits the proliferation of endothelial progenitor cells (P ＜ 0. 05). (2) 10 mmol/L 3-MA promotes apoptosis of endothelial progenitor cells, compared with the control, the difference was significant ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). (3) 3-MA at the concentration of 5 mmol/L reduces cells at G0/G1 phase and increases S and G2/M phase cells; 10 mmol/L 3-MA induces endothelial progenitor cells blockade at S phase, G2/M phase cells decreased, compared with the control, the difference was significant (P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusions 5 mmol/L 3-MA promotes the proliferation of endothelial progenitor cells. 10 mmol/L 3-MA inhibits the proliferation and promotes apoptosis of endothelial progenitor cells.
