Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2008;15(2):141-143
Objective To observe the changes of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1)mRNA expression in experimental lung iniury and to evaluate the effect of inhaled nitric oxide(NO)on PAI-1 mRNA expression.Methods In this study,acute lung injury rat model was established by lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced endotoxemia followed by a second LPS attack via intratracheal injection.Eighty-nine SD male rats aged 4~5 week were randomly assigned to three groups:saline control(C-A)group,LPS-A group attacked by LPS,LPS-NO group treated by nitric oxide.Realtime PCR was used to study the expression of PAI-1 mRNA in the lung.Histopathological lung injury score was evaluated.Results In LPS group,the histopathological lung injury score values were significantly higher than that of C-A group at 2 h[(3.10±0.38)vs(1.12±0.84)](P<0.05)and the score values after 2 h were higher than that of LPS group at 2 h(P<0.05).PAI-1 mRNA in lung increased gradually in LPS groups at 2 h,4 h,8 h,16 h,24 h(P<0.05)and decreased at 48 h(P>0.05).The PAI-1 mRNA decreased in LPS-NO groups at 4h(P<0.05).Conclusion The study above demonstrates that PAI-1 mRNA expression is early elevated in rats with endotoxin-induced acute lung injury.Decreased PAI-1 mRNA expression is associated with the efficacy of inhaled nitric oxide.

Objective To explore the effects of inhaled nitric oxide(NO) on expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) mRNA and protein in the early-stage of experimental acute lung injury (ALI) in a rat model.And to investigate the relationship between endogenous NO system including inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)and intrapulmonary NO production and expressions of PAI-1 in ALI.Methods In the study,endotoxemia followed by the second attack due to intratracheal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in rats caused ALI.Male SD rats aged 4-5 weeks (clean conventional rats,180-200 g) were randomly assigned to 2 groups:saline control (C) group,LPS-treated (LPS) group,and the 2 groups were randomly allocated to subgroups exposed to air (A) or 20 × 10-6 NO.They were sacrificed for 24 h.Expressions of PAI-1 mRNA of the lung tissue were evaluated by real-time polymerise chain reaction; PAI-1 proteins were determined by immunohistochemistry.NO production in the lung tissues and pulmonary iNOS activity were measured.Meanwhile,histopathological lung injury scores were evaluated and modified martius acid fuchsin brilliant blue(MSB) stains was performed to evaluate fibrin of the lung tissues.Results At 24 h time point with intervention of iNO,PAI-1 mRNA and protein levels in LPS-NO subgroup were decreased compared with those in LPS-A subgroup (4.94 ± 0.52 vs 5.56 ± 0.27 ; 1.31 ± 0.40 vs 1.69 ± 0.16,all P < 0.05).Meanwhile,iNOS activity and NO productions in LPS-NO subgroup were lower than those of LPS-A subgroup [(0.84 ± 0.36) U/mg prot vs (2.30 ± 0.25) U/mg prot ; (1.90 ± 0.84) μmol/g prot vs (3.38 ± 0.73) μmol/g prot,all P < 0.05].iNOS activity had significant correlation with expression of PAI-1 mRNA and protein in lung tissue (r =0.481,P =0.005 ; r =0.667,P =0.000) ; NO production had significant correlation with expression of PAI-1 mRNA and protein in lung tissue(r =0.532,P =0.002; r =0.784,P =0.000).At 24 h time point,the histopathologic lung injury scores in LPS-NO subgroup were decreased in contrast to LPS-A subgroup (4.28 ±0.94 vs 6.12 ± 1.51,P < 0.05).Fibrin deposition evaluated by modified MSB stains in LPS subgroups was found in alveolar space,lumen of blood vessel and mesenchymal ;LPS subgroup with NO appeared a decreasing trend in contrast to LPS subgroup with air.Conclusions Inhaled nitric oxide of 20 × 10 6 can suppress elevated expression of PAI-1 in ALI induced by endotoxin.This inhaled NO can improve the imba-lance of plasminogen activation system and alleviate lung injury.Meanwhile,inhaled NO down-regulates intrapulmonary iNOS activity as well as endogenous NO productions in rats with 2 hits of LPS induced ALI.These changes also have a close correlation with down-regulation of PAI-1 mRNA and protein.Thus,regulation of endogenous NO system on the expression of PAI-1 will be the future direction of new therapies for ALI.

ObjectiveTo discuss the relationship between patella location and chondromalacia patella,explore its mechanism and clinical significance.Methods Knee joint MRI was performed in 1052 patients (506 men and 546 female).Among them,there were 299 patients( 100 men and 199 female)with chondromalacia patella.They were divide into the group of 1-19,the group of 20-39,the group of 40-59 years old and the group of older than 60 years to compute the positive rate respectively.Insall-Salvati method was used to measure the length of chondromalacia ligaments(L) and the length of chondromalacia path(P).The relationship between patella location and chondromalacia was tested by using t test and x2 test.ResultsThe total positive rate of chondromalacia patella was 28.4% (299/1052).In female it was 36.4% (199/546) and in men was 19.8% (100/506).The group of 1-19 years old had 16 patients ( 16.8%,16/95).The group of 20-39 years old had 71 patients( 17.9%,71/396).The group of 40-59 years old had 116 patients ( 33.2%,116/349 ).The group of older than 60 years had 96 patients (45.3%,96/212).The positive rate of chondromalacia patella increased with age.The L/P value of normal group and chondromalacia patella group were 1.15 ±0.15 and 1.24 ±0.17 respectively.The L/P value of normal group of men and women were 1.13 ± 0.15 and 1.17 ± 0.14 respectively.The L/P value of chondromalacia patella group of men and women were 1.20 ±0.17 and 1.26 ±0.16 respectively.The InsallSalvati index of age groups showed significant differences.The L/P value of pathological changes group and normal group of 1-19 years old were 1.38 ± 0.25 and 1.24 ± 0.16 respectively.The L/P value of pathological changes group and normal group of 20-39 years old were 1.24 ± 0.17 and 1.15 ± 0.16 respectively.The L/P value of pathological changes group and normal group of 40-59 years old were 1.24 ±0.16 and 1.12 ±0.12 respectively.The L/p value of pathological changes group and normal group of older than 60 years were 1.21 ±0.16 and 1.12 ±0.12 respectively.All of them had significant differences (P < 0.01 ).ConclusionsThe positive rate of chondromalacia patella for female is higher than that for men,which also increases with age.High patella location is relevant to chondromalacia patella.

Alzheimers disease is a progressive neurodegeneration disorder that is characterised by the accumulation of ? amyloid deposits and neurofibrillary tangles. It has been long assumed that the disrupted interneuronal communication that occurs in AD brain does not involve widespread changes in postsynaptic receptor function. However, recent evidence suggests that both the neurotransmitter receptor/G protein modulated adenyl cyclase and the phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis signal transduction cascades are disrupted in AD. Such disruption in AD may provide a reason for the relative lack of success of neurotransmitter replacement therapies for the disorder. Moreover it can direct drug research and development for AD treatment.

Nerve growth factor (NGF), one of the most potent growth factors for cholinergic neurons, has generated great interest as a potential target for the treatment of Alzheimers disease (AD). The degeneration of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons, which provides the major source of cholinergic innervation to the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, occurs early and contributes significantly to cognitive decline in AD. Those regions show high level expression of NGF and NGF receptors and depend on NGF for their survival and proper function. NGF executes its effects mainly by binding high affinity receptor TrkA in the remaining neurons of AD. Meanwhile, stimulation of neurons may protect those cells from the deleterious effects of AD, a phenomenon called “use it or lose it.”However, the use of NGF as therapeutic agent is limited by their hindered mobility through the blood brain barrier. Many theoretical and technical issues for NGF delivery to the target region in the brain remain to be solved, before NGF can live up to its potential for the treatment of AD.
