Objective To investigate the possible mechanism of Nrf2 in sepsis development and its effect in the septic acute liver injury ,and derive the effect of curcumin on Nrf2 expression ,which provide theoretical basis for clinical prevention and treatment of sepsis .Methods Divided putting 72 male Sprague-Dawley rats into 3 groups:control group ,experimental group and intervention group .After operation ,3 groups were further divided into subgroups 6 hours later ,12 hours later ,24 hours later and 48 hours later respectively .The septic rats model with acute liver injury was reproduced by method of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) .The ex-perimental group and the intervention group took CLP .The rats in the intervention group were rejected with curcumin in the abdo-men at a dosage of 100 mg/kg an hour after operation .Detected the expression of Nrf2 in the livers of each group used Western blot and measure alanine aminotransferase(ALT ) in serum by drawing the rats′heart blood ;observed the pathological changes in the liver with HE coloration .Results ALT :the values of ALT in the experimental group was significantly increased compared with the control group(P<0 .05);while in the intervention group ,it was markedly improved compared with the experimental group (P<0 . 05) .The expression of Nrf2 :Nrf2 exists in control group rat′s hepatic tissue .In the experimental group ,it was progressively in-creased since the 6 h time point and decreased after the 12 h time point which shown significant decreased compared with the control group(P<0 .05) .In the intervention group ,it was gradually increased since the 6 h time point and decreased after the 24 h time point which was obviously higher than the experimental group(P<0 .05) .Pathological changes :There was no obvious abnormalities in the control group rats′liver structure ,while a lot of inflammatory cells gather and liver cells swell in the experimental group .It was obvious improved after curcumin intervention .Conclusion As Nrf2 is generally lower in the experimental group than in the comparative group ,it shows that Nrf2 directly participates in the occurrence and development of sepsis ,while severe infection blow damages the endogenou s protection system .Decreased activity of Nrf2 causes ignificantly inhibition of anti-oxidative stress and nat-ural immune response ,which may exacerbate acute liver injury by oxidative stress in sepsis .In case of sepsis ,curcumin may increase the level of Nrf2 and the antioxidant enzyme′s activity in the hepatic tissues ,enhancing the general antioxidant ability and alleviating the oxidative stress which points out that curcumin prevents the septic acute liver injury .

Objective To prepare a new type of micropore porcine acellular dermis matrix with the aid of laser (LPADM),and to validate the healing effect of the LPADM through the phrase Ⅰ composite transplanting on the back of the full- thickness skin defects in SD rats.Methods In vitro,the allogeneic fibroblasts were separately cultured with the LPADM (LPADM group) or the non-pore PADM (non-pore LPADM group),while fibroblasts cultured by pure medium were used as control.After culture of 1 day,3 days and 5 days,the contents of IL-10,IL-6,TGF-β1,LN,VEGF expressed by fibroblasts were determined by double-antibody sandwich ELISA method.In vivo,the phrase Ⅰ transplantations of LPADM graft with split-thickness autologous skin were carried on the backs of the full-thickness cutaneous defects of SD rats.The healing condition was observed and analyzed by histological tests.Results The differences of the absorbance value between the LPADMgroup,PADM group and control group in each day were not statistically significant (F=0.050-1.763,P＞0.05).The transplantation of LPADM graft with split-thickness autologous skin graft resulted in high rate of surviving without signs of rejection 3 weeks later.After 1-month of transplantation,the regenerated skin was well enough to be lifted without any serious scars.Conclusions The phrase Ⅰ transplantation of LPADM graft with split-thickness autologous skin graft can accelerate the healing process of full-thickness skin wounds with high biological safety.

Objective To investigate vascular endothelial growth factor-c (VEGF-C) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3(VEGFR-3) mRNA expression, microvessels density (MVD) and lymphatic microvessels density (LVD) in human hepatocellular carcinoma and normal liver tissue. Try to illuminate the relationship among VEGF-C,VEGFR-3,MVD,LVD and the clinical pathological features of hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods Liver tissue of 60 cases definitely diagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma and 20 normal cases were collected. VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 mRNA expression were examined by RT-PCR, MVD and LVD were examined by immunohistochemistry staining. Relationship between these indexes and clinical pathological features of hepatocellular carcinoma was also analysed. Results VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 mRNA expression, MVD and LVD in hepatocellular carcinoma were higher than those in normal liver tissue (P<0.01); In hepatocellular carcinoma tissue, expression of VEGF-C mRNA positively related with VEGFR-3 mRNA, MVD and LVD(P<0.01). VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 expression positively related with portal vein tumor thrombus, intrahepatal metastasis and lymph node metastasis (P<0.01). MVD positively related with portal vein tumor thrombus and intrahepatal metastasis (P<0.01). LVD positively related with lymph node metastasis (P<0.01). Conclusion VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 expression increase in hepatocellular carcinoma tissue. They might play roles in tumor invasion and metastasis by inducing angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis.
