Objective To investigate the effect of alanyl-glutamine (Ala-Gln) on acute lung injury (ALI) in rats induced by sepsis and its mechanisms. Methods Forty healthy adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into a control group, a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced shock group, an Ala-Gln treated group, and a glutamine (Gin) treated group. The control group received an intravenous infusion of 28 mL/kg lactated Ringer's solution(LR). The LPS-induced shock group received an intravenous administration of 25 mL/kg LR, and then 3 mL/kg (6 mg/kg) LPS (L-2880, Sigma, America). The AlaGin treated group received 4.5% Dipeptiven (25 mL/kg, equaling 0.75 g/kg Gin) immediately before 3 mL/kg (6 mg/kg) LPS. The Gin treated group received 3% glutamine (25 mL/kg, 0.75g/kg) immediately before 3 mL/kg (6 mg/kg) LPS. Serum (1 mL) was drawn via the femoral vein or cardiac puncture before LPS injection (T0) and 6 h after the administration of LPS (T1), respectively. All rats were killed 6 h after LPS infusion. The samples of pulmonary tissue and lung lavage fluid were collected after experiments. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β( IL-1β), and interleukin-8(IL-8) in the serum at T0 and T1 were detected by ELISA. Apoptosis in the lung epithelial cells was detected with TUNEL assays. The lung wet/dry(W/D) weight ratio and total protein in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured. Results Six hours after the infusion of LPS (T1), the plasma concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-8 were much lower in the Ah-Gln treated group and the Gin treated group than those in the LPS-induced shock group (P < 0.05). Compared with the LPS-induced shock group, AlaGin and Gin significantly reduced the increase in the lung wet/dry weight ratio (P<0.05) and attenuated the morphological lung damage. Conclusion Intravenous administration of Ala-Gha can effectively protect the lung from sepsis induced injury.

Objective To investigate the correlation of preoperative pain threshold and pain tolerance threshold with the intensity of stress reaction induced by endotracheal intubation and skin incision. Methods Fifty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ women, aged 20-55 yr, undergoing elective abdominal surgery requiring at least a 10-cm-long skin incision under general anesthesia, were studied. The electricity dolorimeter was used to measure the patients' pain sensitivity, including pain threshold and pain tolerance, and a State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was also used to examine the mental state the day before surgery. Total intravenous anesthesia was performed in all the patients.Anesthesia was induced with TCI of propofol 4 μg/ml (effect-site concentration). After patients lost consciousness,fentanyl 3 μg/kg and vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg were injected intravenously. Tracheal intubation was performed 3 min later and the patients were mechanically ventilated. MAP and HR were recorded and arterial blood samples were taken for determination of plasma concentrations of norepinephrine (NE) at 10 min after entering operation room (T1), immediately before intubation (T2), 2 min after intubation (T3), immediately before incision (T4) and 2 min after incision (T5). The differences in MAP, HR and plasma concentrations of NE before and after intubation and skin incision were calculated. SPSS 13.0 statistical software was used to analyze the correlation of STAI,pain threshold, and pain tolerance threshold with the differences in MAP, HR and NE before and after intubation and skin incision. Results Pain threshold was not correlated with the differences in MAP, HR and NE (P ＞0.05). Pain tolerance threshold was negatively correlated with the differences in MAP (r= - 0.766, r =-0.688,P＜0.05), HR (r=-0.703, r=-0.638, P ＜ 0.05) and NE (r=-0.781, r=-0.781, P＜0.05). The STAI score was not correlated with pain threshold and pain tolerance threshold (P ＞ 0.05) .Conclusion Preoperative pain tolerance threshold is negatively correlated with the intensity of stress reaction induced by endotracheal intubation and skin incision, but there is no correlation between pain threshold and the intensity of stress reaction.

Methods Total RNA was extracted from MCF-7 cells,and the full-length of H1 9 lncRNA was amplified by RT-PCR and subcloned into pcDNA3.1 (-)ex-pression vector.The constructed H1 9 expression vector was transfected into HEK-293T and COS-7 cells and the H1 9 lncRNA expression was evaluated by real-time PCR.Following the transfection of H1 9 expression vec-tor into MCF-7 cells for 0,24h and 48h and H1 9 siR-NA interference fragment into MCF-7 cells for 24h, MCF-7 cell proliferation was determined by MTS as-say.Results A hH1 9-pcDNA3.1 (-)expression vector was successfully constructed. At Forty-eight hours after the transfection with H1 9 expression vector in to MCF-7 cells,cell proliferation was significantly increased in the transfected group compared to those without transfection and to those transfected with a neg-ative control vector,while twenty-four hours after the transfection with H1 9 siRNA interference fragment into MCF-7 cells,cell proliferation was significantly de-creased in the transfected group compared to those transfected with a negative control vector.Conclusion Ectopic overexpression of H1 9 lncRNA can promote breast cancer MCF-7 cell proliferation.
