OBJECTlVE To expIore the intervention effect of Iosartan on the Iung oxidative injury in-duced by paraquat(PQ). METHODS AduIt maIe SD rats were randomIy divided into 4 groups:normaI controI group,PQ intoxication group(rats were treated with singIe ig PQ 40 mg·kg-1 ),Iosartan inter-vention for 7 and 14 d groups(rats were ig given Iosartan 10 mg·kg-1 daiIy for 7 and 14 consecutive days after PQ was given). AII rats were sacrificed on the 16th day to obtain Iung tissues. HE staining was used to observe the Iung pathoIogicaI changes. The activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD),cataIase (CAT)and totaI antioxidant capacity(T-AOC)and content of Iipid peroxide(LPO)were detected by spectrophotometry. ReaI-time quantitative PCR was used to investigate the NF-κB mRNA expression in Iung tissue. RESULTS PathoIogicaI examination showed that acute Iung injury and significant Iung fibro-sis appeared in PQ intoxication group but were reversed by Iosartan. The IeveIs of SOD,CAT and T-AOC decreased whiIe the content of LPO in PQ intoxication group increased significantIy compared with controI group(P﹤0.05). Compared with PQ intoxication group,the IeveIs of SOD,CAT and T-AOC in-creased and the content of LPO decreased in Iosartan intervention for 7 and 14 d groups(P﹤0.05),and the IeveIs of T-AOC and LPO in Iosartan intervention for 7 and 14 d groups and the activities of SOD and CAT in Iosartan intervention for 14 d group nearIy returned to normaI. The mRNA expression of NF-κB was upreguIated after rats were exposed to PQ,downreguIated in Iosartan intervention for 7 and 14 d groups in rat Iung tissues( P﹤0.05),but nearIy returned to normaI. CONCLUSlON Oxidative stress may be invoIved in the acute PQ poisoning process and Iosartan might have intervention effect on acute PQ Iung damage by improving the antioxidant capacity and downreguIating the mRNA expression of NF-κB.

Objective:To explore the pathogenic spectrum and epidemiological characteristics of respiratory viruses in children with acute lower respiratory tract infection in Changsha, and provide scientific basis for disease prevention and treatment.Methods:A total of 1 092 respiratory tract specimens of children were collected and 12 respiratory viruses were detected by real-time quantitative transcription polymerase chain reaction.Results:Among the samples from 1 092 cases, those from 437 cases (40%) were positive for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), 337 cases (30.9%) were positive for parainfluenza virus-3 (PIV-3), 263 cases (24.1%) were positive for human bocavirus (HBOV) and 228 cases (20.8%) were positive for adenovirus (ADV). The detection rates of boys and girls were 82.26% and 83.42%. The infection rate of RSV was higher in the group ≤ 6 months of age, the infection rates of PIV-3 and HBOV ≤2 years old were higher, and the infection rate of ADV was higher in the group between 6 months to 5 years old. The detection rates of virus infection of spring, summer, autumn and winter were 90.48%, 83.50%, 62.26% and 82.80%, respectively, there were significant differences among them.Conclusions:The main viruses in children with acute lower respiratory tract infection in Changsha were RSV and PIV-3. Mixed infections were common. Children under 2 years of age were more likely to get acute lower respiratory infections. Viruses had seasonal trends and peaked in winter and spring.
