Objective To investigate the expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and p53 up-regulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA) in acute lung injury (ALI) induced by severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), and the therapeutic role of proline dithiocarbamate (PDTC). Method SD rats weighed 200～ 250 g were randomly(random number) divided into sham operation group (A group, n = 18), ALI group (B group, n = 18) and PDTC treatment group (C group, n = 18). The model of SAP was eastablished by injecting 1 mL/kg of sodium tauarocholate into the pancreatic capsule of the rats in B group and C group. The model rats in C group were treated with PDTC one hour after modeling. Six rats of each group were sacrificed 6 h,12 h, and 24 hours after modeling. The histopathological changes in lung and pancreas were observed. The levels of NF-κB p65 and PUMA in lung were detected by using Western blotting, and the expressions of bcl-2, bax and caspase-3 mRNA in the lung were detected by using RT-PCR. The lung tissue was taken for examination under transmission electron microscope. TUNEL was used for detection of apoptotic alveolar epithelial cells. Results Six to 24 hours after modeling, the pathological scores in lung of ALI group were significantly higher than those of control group and PDTC group after sodium taurocholate injection ( P ＜ 0.05). The levels of NF-κB p65 and PUMA, and the expressions of bax and caspase3 mRNA in ALI group at different intervals were higher than those in control group and PDTC group ( P ＜ 0.05),whereas the expression of bcl-2 mRNA in ALI group was lower than that in control group and PDTC group ( P ＜0.05). The NF-κB p65 was correlated closely and positively with PUMA ( r= 0.987, P ＜ 0.01). Higher activity of caspase-3 acrtive units was seen in ALI group than that in control group and PDTC group ( P ＜ 0.05). The microvilli disappeared in ALI group 24 hours later. The apoptosis index in ALI group was higher than that in control group and PDTC group ( P ＜ 0.05). Conclusions The apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells of rats in ALI group is caused by PUMA activated by NF-κB. PDTC treatment can inhibit apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells of rats in ALI group by inhibiting the activation of NF-κB.

BACKGROUND: Craniocerebral injury can cause a series of visceral complications, among which cardiovascular complication is paid special attention.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of craniocerebral injury on changes of circulatory and local angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ ) and local angiotensin Ⅱ receptor 1 (AT1) in the heart.DESIGN: Randomized controlled experiment taking animals as subjects.SETTING: Beijing Tiantan Hospital, and the College of Basic Medicine,Capital University of Medical Sciences.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted at the Central Laboratory of Capital University of Medical Sciences and the Central Laboratory of Beijing Tiantan Hospital from 2003 to 2004. Totally 40 healthy male Wistar rats were divided randomly into craniocerebral injury group and control group with 20 in each group.METHODS: Rats in craniocerebral injury group were treated with weightdrop method to establish the model of craniocerebral injury, while rats in control group received no impact. Twenty-four hours after hitting, 10 rats in each group were selected to assay their Ang Ⅱ and AT1; the other 10 in each group were selected to observe their myocardial forms.myocardium of rats assayed with light microscope after hematoxylin-eosin staining and transmission electron microscope.It was significantly higher in craniocerebral injury group than in control ity: It was obviously higher in craniocerebral injury group than in control Ⅱ and AT1: The area of positive reactant and gray value in craniocerebral toxylin-eosin staining: Strong acidophil staining was found on myocardial cellular plasma in craniocerebral injury group. The results showed that cytoplasm shrank obviously; muscle fiber broke, decreased or disappeared.Focal hydropic degeneration, lysis or necrosis was observed in myocardium.Ultrastructural pathological observation revealed pathological damage of myocardium.CONCLUSION: Craniocerebral injury in rats can cause myocardial damage, and changes of angiotensin system may be one of the factors.

Objective To investigate the cytotoxicity of silica nanoparticles on vascular endothelial cells, and to clarify its action mechanism.Methods The 60 nm silica nanoparticle was selected and the invitro cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)were used as cell model.The HUVECs were divided into control and silica nanoparticle exposure groups with concentrations of 12.5,25.0,and 100.00 mg·L-1 .MTT assay was used for the determination of cell viability,lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)release assay for membrane integrity,flow cytometry (FCM)for intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS)content,and real-time PCR assay for intracellular NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2 ), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1 ), superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2 ) and glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC)mRNA levels.Results The MTT results showed that the cell viabilities in each silica nnaoparticle exposure group were decreased compared with control group in a dose-dependent manner. Upon the silica nanoparticle exposure for 12 h,the cell viability was declined significantly only in 100 mg·L-1 exposure group compared with control group (P<0.05).When exposured for 24 h,the cell viabilities in 25.0, 50.0,and 100.0 mg·L-1 exposure groups were declined significantly compared with control group (P<0.05). Under the exposure to silica nanoparticle with the same dose, the cell viabilities were decreased along with the elongation of exposure time.LDH assay and FCM showed that except for that in 12.5 mg·L-1 exposure group, both the LDH activities in media and intracellular ROS levels in other exposure groups were increased compared with control group (P<0.05 ). The results of real-time fluorescence PCR showed that the mRNA levels of Nrf2, HO-1,SOD2 and GCLC in 100 mg·L-1 silica nanoparticle exposure group were increased significantly compared with control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Silica nanoparticles have toxicity to vascular endothelial cells,which includes reducing cell viability,membrane integrity destruction,induction of ROS generation,and tranSCriptional regulation of redox-related factors. Oxidative damage is one of the mechanisms of vascular endothelial toxicity mediated by silica nanoparticles.
