Objective To study the changes of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and ? hydroxybutyric acid (HBD) in atrophic gastritis type A(AAG) patients. Methods Auto biochemistry instrument was used to detect serum LDH and HBD. Hemoglobin, vitamin B 12 and gastrin were also examined routinely. Results All AAG patients had elevated levels of LDH and HBD in serum and 60 percent of patients had a rise of indirect bilirubin. In the first day after supplement with folic acid and vitamin B 12 , LDH and HBD decreased simultaneously by 30% along with a decrease of indirect bilirubin. The changes of LDH and HBD were earlier than changes of reticulocytes. Conclusions Serum LDH and HBD rise significantly in AAG patients. This might be associated with in situ hemolysis of bone marrow. And it may be a good index for differential diagnosis between AAG and atrophic gastritis type B.

BACKGROUND:Glucocorticoids may induce local bone trabecular and bone marrow necrosis, femoral head col apse and deformation, thus resulting in hip dysfunction. However the pathological mechanisms and treatment of glucocorticoids-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head remain unclear, and the pathogenesis mechanisms are controversial. The current studies focus on the understanding of the pathological mechanisms.
OBJECTIVE:To summary the research progress of adipogenic differentiation theory of glucocorticoids-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head and the treatment.
METHODS:The first author searched literature from CNKI and PubMed database from 1988 to 2010, by using the key words is“Glucocorticoids, osteonecrosis of femoral head, bone marrow stromal stem cells, adipogenic differentiation, differentiation factors, treatment, choices”in English, and“glucocorticoids induced osteonecrosis of femoral head, adipogenic differentiation, treatment, research progress”in Chinese. Articles regarding the adipogenic differentiation theory of glucocorticoids-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head and the treatment were included.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 112 literatures were screened out, according to inclusion and exclusion criteria for literature screening, 54 articles were included. Modern researches emphasize the celland molecular biology level, and show that the biological base of glucocorticoids-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head is abnormal adipogenic differentiation of bone cells, glucocorticoids cause the variations of adipogenic differentiation factors, leading to adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells. But glucocorticoids affects multiple differentiation factors, it may cause great error in the evaluation of the pathogenesis of glucocorticoids-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head purely from one factor. The abuse of glucocorticoids is the leading cause for the osteonecrosis of femoral head. Further studies are needed to investigate the pathogenesis of osteonecrosis of the femoral head and treatment programs.

Objective To evaluate the role of protein kinase Cα( PKCα)?nuclear factor E2?related factor 2 ( Nrf2)?heme oxygenase?1 ( HO?1) signaling pathway on endotoxic shock?induced acute lung injury ( ALI) in rabbits. Methods Thirty healthy male New Zealand white rabbits, aged 2 months, weighing 2?0-2?5 kg, were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n=10 each) using a random number table: normal control group ( group C);ALI group ( group ALI);PKCα inhibitor chelerythrine group ( group CHE) . In group CHE, chelerythrine 8 mg∕kg ( in 0?5 ml of DMSO) was injected intraperitoneally, and 30 min later, LPS 5 mg∕kg ( in 2 ml of normal saline) was injected via the auricular vein to induce ALI in ALI and CHE groups. The rabbits were then sacrificed at 6 h after injection of LPS or normal saline, and the lungs were removed for examination of the pathological changes which were scored and for determination of wet∕dry lung weight ratio ( W∕D ratio) , and the expression of Nrf2 and HO?1 protein and mRNA. Results Compared with group C, the pathological score and W∕D ratio were significantly increased, and the expression of Nrf2 and HO?1 protein and mRNA was up?regulated in ALI and CHE groups. The pathological score and W∕D ratio were significantly higher, and the expression of Nrf2 and HO?1 protein and mRNA was lower in group CHE than in group ALI. Conclusion The PKCα?Nrf2?HO?1 signaling pathway is one of the endogenous protective mechanisms underlying endotoxic shock?induced ALI in rabbits.
