Objective To evaluate the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) in exogenous protectin D1 ( PD1)-induced reduction of endotoxin-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice. Methods Thirty-two clean-grade healthy male BABL∕C mice, weighing 20-25 g, aged 6-8 weeks, were divided into 4 groups (n=8 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (group S), ALI group, PD1 group and PPARγ antagonist GW9662 group. Mice underwent oral tra-cheal intubation, normal saline was instilled, and 1 h later normal saline was injected via the tail vein in group S. Mice underwent oral tracheal intubation, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 3 mg∕kg was instilled, and 1 h later normal saline was injected via the tail vein in group ALI. Mice underwent oral tracheal intubation, LPS 3 mg∕kg was instilled, and 1 h later PD1 200 ng was injected via the tail vein in group PD1. Mice un-derwent oral tracheal intubation, LPS 3 mg∕kg was instilled, and 1 h later GW9662 1 mg∕kg and PD1 200 ng were injected via the tail vein in group GW9662. Mice were sacrificed at 24 h after intratracheal instilla-tion of LPS, the left lung was lavaged with phosphate buffer solution, and the broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected for determination of neutrophil count and concentrations of interleukin-1beta ( IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-alpha ( TNF-α) and IL-6 ( by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Right lung tissues were obtained and cut into sections which were stained with haematoxylin and eosin and exam-ined with a light microscope for microscopic examination of the pathological changes which were scored (lung injury score) and for determination of the expression of PPARγ in lung tissues. Results Compared with group S, the neutrophil counts in BALF, concentrations of IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 and lung injury score were significantly increased, and the expression of PPARγ was down-regulated in group ALI ( P<0. 01). Compared with group ALI, the neutrophil counts in BALF, concentrations of IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 and lung injury score were significantly decreased, and the expression of PPARγ was up-regulated in group PD1 (P<0. 01). Compared with group PD1, the neutrophil counts in BALF, concentrations of IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 and lung injury score were significantly increased, and the expression of PPARγ was down-regulated in group GW9662 ( P<0. 01). Conclusion PPARγ activation is involved in exogenous protectin D1-induced reduction of LPS-induced ALI in mice.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of Guanxin Tongmai plaster combined with conventional western medicine in the treatment of phlegm and blood stasis syndrome of coronary heart disease and angina pectoris.Methods:A total of 60 patients in the Department of Cardiology of the Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from February to August 2020 who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups with 30 in each group. Both groups were treated with conventional western medicine. On this basis, Guanxin Tongmai plaster was applied at the acupoints in the treatment group and placebo plaster was applied in the control group. TCM syndrome score was performed before and after treatment, angina score was evaluated from three aspects of angina attack frequency, duration and pain degree, and blood lipid TG, TC, LDL-C and HDL-C were detected by enzyme quantitative method. The blood homocysteine (Hcy) was detected by enzyme circulation method, the ECG and the nitroglycerin reduction rate were recorded, and the safety index was detected according to the ECG changes.Results:In the treatment period, 2 patients in the treatment group fell off, 3 in the control group. A total of 28 patients in the treatment group and 27 in the control group were analyzed. The total effective rate of ECG efficacy in the treatment group was 67.9% (19/28) and the control group was 48.1% (13/27). There was significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=4.46, P=0.040). After treatment, the TCM syndrome score and angina score in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t values were 9.12 and 4.45, P values were 0.004 and 0.042, respectively). The reduction rate of nitroglycerin in the treatment group was 82.1% (23/28) and 55.6% (15/27) in the control group. There was significant difference between the two groups ( χ 2=4.72, P=0.030). After treatment, the plasma TG, TC, LDL-C in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t values were 4.17, 6.57 and 6.52, P<0.05 or P<0.01), the level of HDL-C was significantly higher than that of the control group ( t=7.07, P=0.010), and the level of plasma Hcy was significantly lower than that in the control group ( t=6.70, P=0.012). There was no significant difference in liver, kidney and coagulation function between the two groups. Conclusion:Guanxin Tongmai plaster combined with conventional western medicine can improve the clinical symptoms of patients with coronary heart disease and angina pectoris, reduce the level of blood lipid and Hcy, and improve the clinical curative effect.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of remifentanil on mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway during intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis induced by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods:Thirty-six clean grade healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 200-250 g, aged 2 months, were divided into 3 groups ( n=12 each) by a random number table method: sham operation group (Sham group), intestinal I/R group (I/R group) and remifentanil group (R group). Intestinal I/R was produced by occlusion of superior mesenteric artery for 1 h followed by reperfusion in anesthetized rats.At 30 min before ischemia, 0.2 μg·kg -1·min -1 of remifentanil was infused intravenously for 5 min , followed by infusion of normal saline for 5 min, repeating for 3 cycles in group R. At 2 h of reperfusion, blood samples were collected from right ventricle to measure the concentration of diamine oxidase (DAO). The animals were then sacrificed and the intestinal tissues were obtained for examination of pathological changes and scored according to Chiu, for calculation of intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis rate (by TUNEL), for determination of the expression of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK), phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK), phosphorylated p38 MAPK (p-p38 MAPK), cleaved caspase-3 and nuclear factor kappa B p65 (NF-κB p65) in nucleoprotein and for calculation of p-ERK/ERK ratio, p-JNK/JNK ratio and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK ratio in the intestinal tissues. Results:Compared with group Sham, Chiu′s scores, serum DAO concentration, apoptosis rate, p-ERK/ERK ratio, p-JNK/JNK ratio and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK ratio and the expression of cleaved caspase-3 and NF-κB p65 in the intestinal tissues were significantly increased in group I/R, and Chiu′s scores was increased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in serum DAO concentration, apoptosis rate, p-ERK/ERK ratio, p-JNK/JNK ratio, p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK ratio and the expression of cleaved caspase-3 and NF-κB p65 in the intestinal tissues in group R ( P>0.05). Compared with group I/R, Chiu′s scores, apoptosis rate, serum DAO concentration, p-ERK/ERK ratio and expression of cleaved caspase-3 and NF-κB p65 were significantly decreased in group R ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The mechanism by which remifentanil inhibits intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis induced by intestinal I/R is related to promoting activation of ERK in rats.
