Objective To observe the effect of lycopene on myocardial interstitial fibrosis and to explore the possible mechanisms involved.Methods Sprague-Dawley rat myocardial infarction (MI) model was established by left anterior descending coronary artery ligation.Established MI model rats received lycopene or saline.After 28 days,myocardial fibrosis was observed by Masson staining.The expressions of Ⅰ type collagen,matvix metalloproteina-ses-9 (MMP-9) and matrix metall opeptidaseg(MAPKs) protein were detected in the peri-infarcted zone by Western blotting.Results In MI group,collagen volume fraction (CVF) was increased and the protein expressions of collagen Ⅰ,P-p38 and MMP-9 were increased in the peri-infarcted zone as compared with the sham group [CVF:(21.68±4.63)％ vs.(8.21±2.17)％; collagen Ⅰ:(1.58±0.22) vs.(0.97±0.09); P-p38:(1.93±0.44) vs.(0.85±0.21); MMP-9:(4.85±0.47) vs.(1.03±0.59); all P＜0.05].Lycopene attenuated the increments of myocardial infarction-induced collagen Ⅰ,p38MAPK and MMP-9 expressions [collagen Ⅰ:(1.24 ± 0.24) vs.(1.58± 0.22) ; P-p38:(0.85 ± 0.21) vs.(1.93 ±0.44); MMP9:(1.77±0.28) vs.(4.85±0.47); all P＜0.05],and decreased the collagen volume fraction in the peri-infarcted zone [CVF:(15.17±2.56)％ vs.(21.68±4.63)％,P＜0.05] as compared with the MI group.Conclusions Lycopene may improve ventricular remodeling after MI by inhibiting p38MAPK signaling pathway and MMP-9 expression.

Objective To investigate the effect of XueBiJing injection(a concoction of Chinese herbs)on the expression of high mobility group box-1 protein(HMGB1)in the lung with acute lung injury of rats following delayed resuscitation after burn injury.Methods 78 male rats were randomly divided into sham scald group(n=18),scald group(n=30)and XueBiJing treatment group(n=30).In the scald group and XueBiJing treatment group,4ml/kg normal saline or XueBiJing was intravenously injected 2 hours after scald injury.In the latter two groups,rats were subjected to 30% TBSA full-thickness scald injury,and fluid resuscitation was delayed.The animals were sacrificed at 8h,24h and 72h after injury,respectively.Lung tissue samples were collected to determine the expression of HMGB1 mRNA and protein,and the activity of pulmonary myeloperoxidase(MPO).HMGB1 mRNA level was semi-quantitatively measured by RT-PCR using GAPDH as an internal standard,and protein expression of HMGB1 was determined by Western blot.Results Compared with sham scald controls,both mRNA and protein expressions of HMGB1 were significantly enhanced in the lung at 8-72h after scald injury(P

PurposeTo study the pharmacokinetic characteristics of omeprazole in Chinese extensive and poor metabolizers.Methods The pharmacokinetics of omeprazole was studied in eighteen healthy volunteers. After a single oral dose of omeprazole capsule(40 mg), the plasma concentrations of omeprazole and its two metabolites, 5-hydroxyomeprazole and omeprazole sulfone, were determined with reversed HPLC method. The plasma concentration-time data were analyzed to estimate the pharmacokinetic parameters. Results Both plasma omeprazole concentration and the pharmacokinetic parameters exhibited marked interindividual variation. The metabolic ratio (MR= plasma omeprazole/5-hydroxyomeprazole) obtained 3.5 h after medication was used to distinguish between extensive and pcr)r metabolizers (EMs, PMs). The variances of AUC(0-12) caused by the two metabolizer phenotypes accounted for 75.4 % of the total interindividual variances. AUC(0-12) of omeprazole was (1 971.78 ±1 221.78)ng·h/ml in EMs( n=12) and (8 587.18±2 855.48) ng·h/ml in PMs (n = 6),respectively (P<0.01),and CL in EMs and PMs was estimated as (16.00±9.71) and (4.79±1.32) L/h (P<0.01). Accordingly,significantly lower level of plasma 5-hyclroxyomeprazole was found in PMs, revealing a slower hydroxylation rate compared with EMs. Conclusions The results suggest that individualized dose regimen of omeprazole, based on identification of metabolizer phenotype, can be of great benefit from the viewpoint of pharmacoeconomics.

Objective:To investigate the effects of strain force on t he expression of osteoclast differentiation factor(ODF) and osteoclasto-genesis i nhibitory factor(OCIF) in human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs). Met hods: HPDLCs were subjected to cyclic strain force for 0, 6, 12 and 24 h ours, mRNA expression of ODF and OCIF were determined by RT-PCR. Result s:After treatment of the cells for 0,6,12 and 24 hours the ODF/?-actio n values were 0.7280?0.0261,0.6831?0.0411,0.5801?0.2230 and 0.4572?0.0373( P0.05) respectively.Conclusion:Strain force may decrease the expression of ODF and increase the expression of OCIF.

Objective To study the effect of pentoxifylline (PTX) on acute lung injury (ALI) in murine sepsis induced by intra abdominal infection. Methods Wistar rats were subjected to sepsis caused by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), and animals were randomly divided into normal controls ( n =6), sepsis group ( n =18), and PTX treated group ( n =18). Pulmonary biopterin, nitric oxide (NO) levels, and pulmonary myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities were measured, guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase Ⅰ (GTP CHI), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF ?) mRNA expression were determined.Results Early treatment with PTX significantly decreased pulmonary MPO activities and TNF ?mRNA expression at 2 hours after CLP. Meanwhile, pulmonary biopterin, NO, GTP CHI, and iNOS mRNA expression levels were much lower in the treatment group than those in the non treatment group ( P

High-mobility-group B1 (HMGB1), an abundant, highly conserved cellular protein, is widely known as a nuclear DNA-binding protein that stabilizes nucleosome formation, and facilitates gene transcription. Recent studies suggested that HMGB1 could be overexpressed and released from cellular nucleosome upon endotoxin and cytokine stimulation, or other stress challenge including burns, shock, as well as infection. Therefore, extracellular HMGB1 might be involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis and subsequent multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Moreover, experimental data showed that extracellular HMGB1 might play vital roles in nerves development, tumor metastasis, atherosclerosis and restenosis after vascular damage.

Objective To summarize countermeasures on common problems of microendoscopic discectomy(MED). Methods Microendoscopic discectomy was performed in 104 cases of lumbar disc herniation by using the MED system(Sofamor Danek Group,USA).Frequently encountered problems during the operation were reviewed and summarized. Results Conversions to open surgery were required in 4 out of 104 cases due to bleeding or adherence.Among the rest of 100 cases,dural injury occurred in 3 cases,with 1 case accompanying leakage of cerebrospinal fluid.Of the 100 cases(115 intervertebral spaces),the average operation time was 50 min(range,30~90 min) and the average hemorrhage amount was 80 ml(range,20~400 ml) for each intervertebral space.The 100 cases were followed for 3~32 months(average,18 months).According to the Macnab criteria,the curative effects were classified as excellent in 65 cases,good in 29 cases,and fair in 6,the rate of excellent or good effects being 94.0%(94/100). Conclusions The most frequent problems during MED are bleeding and prolonged excision of the ligamenta flava.Strict adherence to technique,acquaintance with the weakness of the ligamenta flava,and familiarity with anatomic structures of the vertebral vein system and its relationship with abdominal pressure,are very important in the prevention and treatments of surgical complications.
