Objective To investigate the effects of intestinal ischemia reperfusion (IIR) on the progression of inflammatory reaction in hemorrhagic necrosis pancreatitis (HNP).Methods Eighty rats were randomly divided into sham operation (SO) group,acute edematous pancreatitis (AEP) group,AEP + IIR group and HNP group according to the random number table.Erythrocyte velocity (EV),functional capillary density (FCD) and leukocyte adherence (LA) were observed at 0,1,2,3 and 6 hours after the models were completed.The serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were detected.All data were analyzed by using the analysis of variance or the t test.Results The level of EV in the AEP group significantly decreased at 1 hour,and got increased at 3 hours,while the level of EV in the AEP group was still significantly lower than that in the SO group ( t =9.60,P ＜ 0.05 ).The levels of EV in the AEP + IIR group and HNP group constantly decreased,and increased at 6 hours,but were continually lower than that in the AEP group ( t =6.03,6.12,P ＜0.05 ).The level of FCD in the AEP group was significantly lower than that in the SO group at 3 hours ( t =8.20,P＜0.05).The levels of FCD in the AEP + IIR group and HNP group were significantly lower than that in the AEP group at 3 hours (t =35.60,23.80,P ＜ 0.05 ).Compared with AEP group,the level of LA in the AEP group was significantly increased at 1 hour ( t =75.00,P ＜ 0.05 ) and reached peak at 3 hours.The levels of LA in the AEP + IIR group and HNP group were significantly higher than that in the AEP group at 1,2,3,6 hours (t =23.00,29.50,53.00,38.70,23.10,48.20,39.20,47.50,P＜0.05).Compared with SO group,the level of TNF-α in the AEP group significantly increased since l hour (t =77.00,P ＜ 0.05),and began to decrease at 3 hours; the levels of TNF-α in the AEP +IIR group and HNP group at 2 hours were significantly higher than that in the AEP group (t =23.50,18.10,P＜0.05).The levels of IL-6 in the AEP group at 1,2,3,6 hours were significantly higher than those in the SO group ( t =93.50,146.00,243.60,209.20,P ＜ 0.05 ).The levels of IL-6 in the AEP + IIR group and HNP group at 1 hour were not significantly different from that in the AEP group ( t =2.30,2.03,P ＞ 0.05),while the levels of IL-6 in the AEP + IIR group and HNP group at 2 hours were significantly higher than that in the AEP group (t =35.63,29.80,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion IIR may enhance the inflammatory reaction of AEP and IIR might be one of the factors to exaggerate the inflammatory reaction of HNP.

The current study was designed to determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic parameters of recombinant human parathyroid hormone [rhPTH (1-84)] used for the treatment of osteoporosis. In the single-dose format pharmacokinetic study, thirty-six healthy male volunteers received three dose levels of rhPTH (1-84) subcutaneously: 1, 2, and 4 mug/kg. The blood was timing drawn and the serum concentration of rhPTH (1-84) was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Serum concentration-time curves of PTH (1-84) exhibited a double-peak pattern, the first peak appearing about 10 to 30 min after administration and the second peak occurring about 1.5 to2 h after administration. Serum terminal half-time of PTH (1-84) was approximately 2 h. The parameters indicated the serum levels were directly proportional to the administered dose, with the mean C(max) and AUC(0-24) ranging from approximately 543.47 to 1845 pg/mL and 2358.6 to 9232.12 pg.h.mL(-1) over the dose range. The drug was well tolerated, the clinical symptoms were generally mild and of short duration.

Batifiban, a synthetic cyclic peptide, is a potent platelet glycoprotein GPIIb/IIIa antagonist which may be useful in the treatment and prevention of acute coronary syndromes. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodymanic (inhibition of platelet aggregation) effects, and tolerability of batifiban were investigated in healthy subjects following single bolus injection with doses of 55, 110, or 220 microg/kg, or multiple doses of an bolus followed intravenous infusion for 24 h (180 microg/kg plus 2.0 microg/min.kg, and 220 microg/kg plus 2.5 microg/min.kg) in this phase I clinical trial. Plasma levels of batifiban and areas under the curve were found to be proportional to doses. Batifiban was rapidly eliminated with a half-life of approximately 2.5 h. Significant differences were noted for plasma levels of batifiban and areas under the curve between males and females. No significant differences in the terminal half-life were found between males and females. Batifiban reversibly inhibited ex vivo platelet aggregation in a dose- and concentration-dependent manner, consistent with its mechanism as a GPIIb/IIIa antagonist. Single and multiple intravenous doses of batifiban were found to be safe and well tolerated in healthy subjects. These results support a bolus injection plus intravenous infusion regimen of batifiban for the treatment and prevention of acute coronary syndromes.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of immune regulating nutrition on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods The clinical data of 80 patients with SAP who were admitted to the Union Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from February 2008 to October 2009 were prospectively analyzed. The 80 patients were equally divided into conventional nutrition (CN) group and immune regulating nutrition (IRN) group. Patients in the CN group received CN support, while patients in the IRN group were supplemented with ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (ω-3 PUFA ) and glutamine at the basis of CN support.APACHE Ⅱ scores were evaluated at day 1, 4, 7, 10, 14 in the course of treatment. The differences in the incidence of pulmonary and abdominal infection, sepsis, and other clinical parameters including operation intervention, mortality, length of ICU and hospital stay between the two groups were compared. All data were analyzed using the t test and chi-square test. Results The APACHE Ⅱ scores of patients in the IRN group were 15.3 ± 1.8 and 9.0 ± 1.8 at day 4 and 7, which were significantly lower than 20.0 ± 2.7 and 13.3 ± 2.4 in the CN group, respectively (t = 3.3, 2. 8, P < 0.05). The APACHE Ⅱ scores of patients in the IRN group at day 10and 14 were also lower than those in the CN group, while there was no significant difference (t =0. 7, 0. 6, P>0.05). The incidences of pulmonary and abdominal infection and surgical intervention rate in the IRN group were 18% (7/40), 13% (5/40) and 5% (2/40), which were significantly lower than 38% (15/40), 33% (13/40)and 20% (8/40) in the CN group, respectively (χ2 =4.0, 4.6, 4.1, P<0.05). The incidence of sepsis in the IRN group was 5% (2/40), which was lower than 8% (3/40) of the CN group, while there was no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 =0.0, P >0.05 ). The average lengths of ICU and hospital stay in the IRN group were (5.4 ± 1.6 ) days and ( 38.6 ± 9.3 ) days, which were significantly lower than ( 7.8 ± 2.8 ) days and (43.1 ± 1 1.6) days in the CN group, respectively ( t = 2. 7, 3. 7, P < 0.05 ). The morality was 5% (2/40) in the IRN group and 8% (3/40) in the CN group, with no significant difference between the two groups (χ2 =0.0,P >0.05). Conclusion CN support supplemented with ω-3 PUFA and glutamine can adjust the inflammation reaction of SAP and sustain the normal immune function, which is helpful in decreasing the incidence of severe infection.
