Objective To investigate the effects of continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) on plasma lipopolysaccharide (LPS),interleukin(IL) 1β,IL-4,high mobility group box 1 (HMGB-1) in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) dogs,to explore the therapeutic mechnism of CVVHDF.Methods Dogs were subjected to hemorrhagic shock plus resuscitation and endotoxemia to establish MODS model,then they were randomly divided into 2 groups:CVVHDF group (n=6) and MODS group (n=6).After endotoxin injection completed,the CVVHDF group received CVVHDF treatment for 24 h; MODS group did not receive CVVHDF treatment.The LPS,IL-1β,IL-4,HMGB-1 levels in plasma and ultrafiltrate were measured at different time points(before operation,before intravenous infusion of endotoxin,0 h,3 h,6 h,9 h,12 h,18 h,24 h after intravenous infusion completion of endotoxin),then the sieving coefficient (SC) was calculated.Results Compared with MODS group,the LPS,IL-1β,IL-4,HMGB-1 levels in plasma were significantly decreased in the CVVHDF group at 9 h,12 h,18 h,24 h (P < 0.05).Some concentration of IL-1β,IL-4 and HMGB-1 was detected in the ultrafiltrate,the SC for IL-1β,IL-4 and HMGB-1 was 0.60±0.12,0.83±0.11,0.70±0.09 respectively,and LPS could not be detected in the ultrafiltrate,its SC was 0.After treatment,the damage level of lung and renal had been significantly reduced in CVVHDF group.Conclusion CVVHDF can effectively reduce the levels of pro-inflammatory mediator and anti-inflammatory cytokine related to MODS,cut off the vicious circle of cytokine network and reduce the damage level of organism in the treatment of MODS.

Objective: To study the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) during angiogenesis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).Methods:Surgical specimens from 45 patients with oral SCC were examined for VEGF expression and microvessel density(MVD) by immunocytochemical staining. Anti-VEGF polyclonal antibody was used to determine VEGF expression and anti-CD 34 monoclonal antibody was used to determine MVD. Results:①VEGF protein was mainly found in cytoplasm of cancer cells and in few endothelial cells. Stained microvessels were mainly distributed in the regions of the connective tissue near the cancer nest;②there was a close positive correlation between MVD and VEGF expression;③SCC with high MVD or high VEGF level was mostly found with metastasis in cervical lymph node (P

Objective Plasma phospholipid metabolism analysis was employed to investigate plasma metabolic profile of acute renal graft rejection in order to find potential disease biomarkers and reveal its pathophysiological changes.Methods Selected 33 patients which did renal transplant in our hospital during 2009 to 2010,named preoperative group.14 patients were diagnosed as acute graft rejection,and 19 patients were non-acute graft rejection.Then use ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled with quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (qTOF-MS) to establish the metabolic fingerprint in those patients.The date was preprocessed with software Markerlynx,and analyzed with partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA),and data from conventional laboratory techniques were used for assessing renal function.Results In the plasma of renal transplant patients,seventeen biomarkers were discovered:creatinine,four sphingomyelins (SM),nine phosphatidylcholines (PC),three lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC).While the creatinine was increased,the others were reduced obviously.Conclutions UPLC-qTOF-MS based metabonomics can analyze the plasma phospholipid metabolism in patients with renal transplantation,reveal the law of phospholipids metabolic changes in the process of acute rejection.The levels of plasma phosphatidylcholine's esterlysis and fatty acids' β-oxidation are increased.The immunosuppressive therapy can reduce the activity of phospholipase,inhibit the level of plasma phosphatidylcholine's esterlysis and fatty acids' β-oxidation,which restraines the development of acute rejection after renal transplantation.Therefore it may be a promising new technology in diagnosing acute renal graft rejection after renal transplantation.
