[Abstract ] Objective The spleen plays an important role in brain ischemia-induced cerebral injury.This study aimed to ex-plore the correlation of the spleen mass index with the neurological function scores and infarction volume following permanent occlusion of the middle cerebral artery ( pMCAO) in rats. Methods Thirty male SD rats were equally randomized into a sham operation, a 3-day brain ischemia, and a 7-day brain ischemia group.The pMCAO model was established by ligation in the right brain of the rats. Neurological function scores were obtained with the Longa 5-Point Scale at 0, 3, and 7 days after modeling, and at 3 and 7 days, the spleen mass index was calculated, the infarction volume measured by TTC, and brain histopathological changes evaluated by HE stai-ning. Results Compared with the 7-day ischemia group, the 3-day ischemia rats showed significantly reduced spleen mass index ([1.62 ±0.58] vs [0.87 ±0.59] mg/g) and increased neurological function score (1.00 [1.00, 1.25] vs 2.00 [1.75, 2.25]) and infarct volume ([18.67 ±7.92] vs [36.20 ±14.92]%) (all P<0.05).An extremely significant decrease was found in the spleen mass index of the 3-day ischemia rats in comparison with that of the animals in the sham operation group ([1.90 ±0.22] mg/g) (P<0.01).HE staining revealed more obvious pathological injury of the cerebral cortex in the 3-day than in the 7-day group.The spleen mass index was negatively correlated with the neurological dys-function score (r=-0.851, P=0.019) and infarction volume (r=-0.717, P =0.013). Conclusion In pMCAO rats, measure-ment of the spleen mass index contributes significantly to the preven-tion and improvement of ischemia-induced cerebral injury.

To investigate the protective effect of the seed oil of Abelmoschus esculentus on gastric ulcer,two acute gastric ulcer mice models were established by intragastric administration of aspirin or absolute ethanol,respectively.Clinical index of ulcer area,ulcer index,gastric volume,gastric pH value,free acidity,total acidity,and histopathological assessment were measured to evaluate the injuries of gastric ulcer and the protective effect of okra seed oil In order to comprehensively uncover the possible underlying mechanism,a series of biochemical assays were also performed,including serum TNF-α,IL-6,IL-10 and Tbil,NO,MPO and SOD in the stomach included.Moreover,the ALT,AST and ALP in the liver of mice were also tested to evaluate the possible hepatic toxicity of the seed oil.The results indicated that the seed oil of A.esculentus exerted protective effect in ethanol-induced gastric ulcer mice by reducing the ulcer area and ulcer index,declining the free and total acidity,and increasing the pH value of gastric content.Histopathological observation showed the gastric mucosa of the acute gastric ulcer mice induced by alcohol was incomplete and severely damaged,with submucosal edema and nuclear pyknosis,as well as glandular structure disappearing,compared with that of normal mice.What's more,a number of inflammatory cell infiltration occured in the gastric mucosa of alcohol-model mice,with messes of neutrophils,lymphocytes,eosinophils and plasma cells.Okra seed oil could improve the damaged structure of the gastric mucosa and gland caused by ethanol,but could not ameliorate the condensation of nucleus and infiltration of inflammatory cells.Biochemical analysis revealed that the seed oil of A.esculentus could counteract the damage induced by ethanol via decreasing Tbil and TNF-α in serum,decreasing NO and myeloperoxidase,and increasing SOD in stomach.Meanwhile,okra seed oil exhibited protective effect in aspirin-induced gastric ulcer mice by increasing the gastric content pH,and reducing free and total acidity.Compared with the control group,the gastric mucosa of aspirin-model group showed multifocal coagulation necrosis,sheet edema and infiltration of inflammatory cells by histopathological assessment.Compared with the aspirin-model group,the soybean oil group and okra seed oil group could ameliorate the inflammatory cell infiltration.Biochemical analysis revealed that okra seed oil could counteract the injury induced by aspirin via decreasing TNF-α and IL-6,and increasing IL-1O in serum,decreasing NO and MPO and increasing SOD in stomach.In a word,the okra seed oil exerted protective effect on acute gastric ulcer by anti-inflammation,anti-oxidation and hepatocyte protection.The okra seed oil deserves further development and utilization.

BACKGROUND: Fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) of certain dosage plays a protective role in the pancreatic islets damaged by interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), and there are different effects of FDP of low and high dosages.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of FDP of low and high dosages on the islet cells damaged by IL-1β.DESIGN: A grouped design and controlled animal experiment.SETTING: Department of Physiology, North Sichuan Medical College.MATERIALS: The experiments were carried out in the Tumor Laboratory and Central Laboratory of Rheumatology and Immunology, Department of Surgery, North Sichuan Medical College between July 2004 and February 2006. Twenty Wistar rats within 1-3 days after birth were selected.METHODS: The pancreases of the rats were removed to collect islet cells, and then the cells were divided into normal control group, IL-1β damaged group, IL-1β+1, 25, 50 mmol/L FDP groups. The cellular activity was detected with methyl-thiazol-tetrazolium (MTT) assay, basic amount of insulin secretion and that stimulated by high glucose with radioimmunoassay, content of nitric oxide and activity of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) with nitric oxide and NOS kits, and the with [Ca2+]i with Fura-2fluorescent assay.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Activity of islet cells; basic amount of insulin secretion and that stimulated by high glucose; content of nitric oxide and activity of NOS; [Ca2+]i.RESULTS: ① The activities (A values) of the islet cells in the IL-1β damaged group, IL-1β+1, 25, 50 mmol/L FDP groups were obviously lower than that in the normal control group (0.116±0.012, 0.129±0.008, 0.125±0.015, 0.120±0.016, 0.252±0.020, P ＜ 0.01). The activities (A values) of the islet cellswere not significantly different from that in the IL-1β damaged group (P ＞ 0.05) when the FDP dosage was too low (1 mmol/L) or too high (25 mmol/L). ② The basic amount of insulin secretion and that stimulated by glucose were significantly lower in the IL-1β damaged group, IL-1β+1, 25, 50 mmol/L FDP groups than in the normal control group [(237.00±22.21), (230.83±11.58), (225.16±12.46), (220.50±15.63),(425.67 ±16.85) mIU/L; (90.17 ±6.11), (96.62 ±8.64), (87.66-±8.24),(85.46±9.59), (204.50±10.78) mIU/L, P ＜ 0.01], and there were no significant differences between the FDP groups of Iow and high dosages and the IL-1β damaged group (P ＞ 0.05). ③ The NOS activity and content of nitric oxide in the supernatant were obviously higher in the IL-1β damaged group than in the normal control group [(332.07±25.34), (144.86±12.17) μkat/L;(457.64±19.29), (84.67±10.23) μmol/L, P ＜ 0.01], and those in the IL-1β+1, 25, 50 mmol/L FDP groups were not significantly different from those in the IL-1β damaged group. ④ The [Ca2+]i concentration in islet cells was obviously higher in the IL-1β damaged group than in the norrmal control group [(328.50±26.28), (73.42±1.79) nmol/L, P ＜ 0.01], but obviously lower in the IL-1β+1, 25, 50 mmol/L FDP groups than in the IL-1β damaged group [(152.72± 11.86), (216.39±15.32), (233.61±21.76),(328.50±26.28) nmol/L, P ＜ 0.01].CONCLUSION: FDP of low and high dosages can not protect the islet cells damaged by IL-1β.

Objective To screen the difference of gene expression in dorsal root ganglia (DRG)of inflammatory visceral hypersensitivity rats and to explore the role of voltage gated calcium channel (VGCC) in inflammatory visceral hypersensitivity. Methods Total 180 male Sprague-Dawley rats were in this study,the weight varied from 200 gram to 300 gram. 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) model group was maken by 2. 0% TNBS slowly injection,the dosage was 100mg per kilogram. The normal control group was only injected with same volume of 0. 9% sodium chloride solution. After the model had been maken for four days,gene expression profiles of L6-S2 DRGs were tested by rat cDNA microarray chips. And the result was verified by RT-PCR and Western blot. The changes of intracellular Ca2+ and the voltage gated calcium currents were recorded by patch-clamp.The special Ca2+ channel blockers were given by intrathecal injection,and then the changes of visceral sensitivity were observed. The visceral sensitivity was measured by abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR). Results There were significant changes of 172 genes expression in L6-S2 DRGs of TNBS model rats,which included Ca2+ channel,membrane receptor and intracellular second messenger. Of those,L-type Ca2+ channel (Cav1. 2) and R-type Ca2+ channel (Cav2. 3) were significantly up-regulated. The results of gene microarray chips were further confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blot.The intracellular Ca2+ testing indicated that there was no statistical significant of resting intracellular Ca2+ in colonic special sensory neuron between TNBS group and normal control group (P＞0. 05);while the evoked transients [Ca2+] significantly increased compared with normal control group (P＜0. 05). The whole cell patch clamp recording showed that the L-type and R-type calcium current were significantly increased in colonic primary sensory neurons of TNBS group compared with normal control group (P＜0. 05). The inflammatory visceral hypersensitivity was significantly reduced by intrathecal injection of nimodipine and SNX-482 (P＜0. 05). Conclusion The up-regulation of Cav1. 2and Cav2. 3 play an important role in inflammatory visceral hyperalgesia,which may be the possible potential therapeutic targets for visceral inflammatory hyperalgesia.

ObjectiveTo investigate the number of γδT cells in the peripheral blood from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) and their correlation to disease activity.MethodsγδT cells were detected in the peripheral blood from 42 SLE patients and 20 normal controls by flow cytometry.Anniex-V/Pl double-staining flow cytometry was employed to observe the proportion of the apoptotic γδ and CD3+ T cells in 6 SLE patients with active disease and 6 normal controls,respectively.The levels of plasma anti-nuclear antibody and anti-dsDNA antibody were determined by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Data were analyzed with t test and Pearson's correlation test.ResultsThe percentages of γδT cells were remarkably down-regulated in SLE patients [(3.0±1.8)％ ] with active disease compared with that of those patients with inactive[(5.3±3.0)％] disease and normal controls [(6.8±2.8)％](t=-3.071 and -5.913 respectively,both P＜0.01 ).The absolute number of γδT cells decreased significantly in SLE patients with active disease[ ( 1.7± 1.6)× 107/L ] than those with inactive SLE [ (5.3±3.6)× 107/L ] (t=-3.292,P＜0.01 ),and both were lower than the normal controls [ (10.1±5.0)×l 07/L] (t=-7.247 and -2.905 respectively,both P＜0.01 ).There was a negative correlation between systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) andT cell counts in 30 SLE patients with active disease (r=-0.365,P=0.047).γδT cell percentage (r=-0.336,P=0.030) and counts (r=-0.410,P=0.007) were both inversely correlated with the erythrocyte sedimentation rate,but positive correlation were found between hemoglobulln and γδT cell counts (r=0.409,P=0.007).The apoptosis ofγδT cells in SLE patients was more common than in normal controls(t=2.886,P＜0.05 ).The number of apoptotic γδT cells was higher than that of CD3+ T cells in SLE patients (t=2.952,P＜0.05 ).Conclusion γδT cells of the peripheral blood of SLE patients are down-regulated partially due to excessive apoptosis,which may correlate with the disease activity.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tiotropium bromide in the treatment of COPD patients and pro-vide evidence-based reference for the clinical treatment. METHODS:PubMed,EMBase,Medline,Cochrane Library,CJFD,Wan-Fang and VIP database were retrieved to collect the randomized controlled trial(RCT)of tiotropium bromide(test group)vs. place-bo(control group)in the treatment of COPD. The data was extracted and the quality was evaluated by Rev Man 5.0 software. RE-SULTS:A total of 19 studies were included,involving 16 318 patients. Meta-analysis shows that the FEV1[MD=0.13,95%CI (0.12,0.14),P<0.001],FVC[MD=0.20,95%CI(0.20,0.25),P<0.001] in test group were higher than control group,SGRQ score [MD=-2.94,95%CI(-3.38,-2.49),P<0.001] and COPD exacerbation rate[RR=0.83,95%CI(0.77,0.90),P<0.001] in test group were lower than those in control group ,but the dry mouth rate was higher than that of control group[RR=2.07,95%CI(1.34, 3.20),P<0.001],there were significant differences in 2 groups . CONCLUSIONS:Tiotropium bromide has good efficacy in the treatment of COPD. However,it may cause dry mouth. Due to the methodological limitations of included studies,it remians to be further verified by large-sample and high-quality RCT.

Objective To study the expression of 2 bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) related microRNA (miR-21,miR-155) in SLE patients,and to analyze their correlation with clinical features.Methods Peripheral blood was obtained from 59 SLE patients and 25 healthy controls,and total RNA was extracted and reverse transcribed into complementary DNA (cDNA).Real-time PCR technique was used to detect gene expression at transcrptional level.Disease activity was determined by SLEDAI score.Patients were divided into different groups based on their manifestations or antibody profiles,then comparison of miRNA expression was carried out using Mann-Whitney test.Results The expression levels of miR-21 and miR-155 were increased in active SLE patients (SLEDAI≥8) as compared to those with mild disease (SLEDAI≤7) or healthy controls (both P＜0.05).Patients with positive anti-dsDNA or lupus nephritis had higher expression levels of miR-21 and miR-155 than those without (P＜0.05).Conclusion The miR-21 and miR-155 expressions are elevated in active SLE patients and are associated with anti-dsDNA and renal involvement.The results suggest that these two miRNAs might play a role in the pathogenesis of SLE disease.
