BACKGROUND:Establishing an animal model of lung transplantation has operational significance to the development of clinical lung transplantation.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze and summarize animal selection, model establishment method, points to note and mechanism of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury and pulmonary immune rejection in the establishment of animal models as preclinical research of lung transplantation.
METHODS:A computer-based retrieval of CNKI and PubMed database from January 1982 to September 2013 was performed for literature related to lung transplantation. The key words were“lung transplantation, animal models, reperfusion injury”in English and Chinese, respectively. After eliminating duplicate and obsolete literature,50 articles were included for further analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Currently, animal experiments about al ogeneic lung transplantation are
common, which are of significance for clinical lung transplantation. Single lung transplantation is mainly seen in animal models. The commonly used lung transplantation models include single lung orthotopic murine model, rabbit orthotopic lung transplantation, canine and porcine orthotopic left lung transplantation, canine bilateral sequential lung pulmonary transplantation, autologous pig lung transplant model, rabbit lung ischemia-reperfusion model. Because the anatomical and physiological features are similar to humans, pigs are becoming the preferred choice for large animal experiments. Animal experiments and clinical studies have shown that lung ischemia-reperfusion injury in lung transplantation represents a biphasic pattern:early occurrence of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (24 hours after infusion) is related to lung donors, and the late occurrence mainly depends on receptors. Its pathophysiology runs through the whole process of donor lung resection, preservation and reperfusion as wel as postoperative management. Immune rejection is a complex immune response induced by identifying the donor cellsurface histocompatibility antigen, and activated T lymphocytes play a crucial role in the immune response in organ transplantation.

Objective: To investigate the rational use of antibiotics in the elderly patients with cerebral infarction complicated with pulmonary infection.Methods: A retrospective investigation was used to analyze the drug resistance of 86 cases of elderly patients with cerebral infarction complicated with pulmonary infection.The data were collected from the consultation records of clinical pharmacists in Xuanwu hospital from February 2013 to November 2015.Results: The pathogenic bacteria mainly distributed to Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the drug resistance rate was 48.89%.After the consultation, the rate of combination therapy increased from 20.23% to 61.63%.After using sensitive antibiotics, such as cefperazone-sulbactam,piperacillin-sulbactar and amikacin, the infectious indices recovered significantly (P＜0.05).The case proportion with BUN/SrCr＞20 in 27 cases complicated with impaired renal function was 62.9%, and although the patients didn''t use antibiotics with reduced doses, the indices of infection and renal function improved in a certain degree (P＜0.05).The case proportion with ALB and PAB decreasing was 53.49%, and after the consultation, all the infectious indices decreased and protein levels increased (P＜0.05).Conclusion: More attention should be paid to the elderly patients with cerebral infarction complicated with pulmonary infection, and sensitive antibiotics with single or combination drug therapy should be used according to the distribution of resistant bacteria.For the renal failure patients, the kind of renal failure should be clear, and then the appropriate dosage of antibiotics should be adjusted.For the patients with malnutrition, adequate protein intake contributes to the recovery of infection.The clinical symptoms and laboratory indices should be integrated to effectively develop rational treatment for the elderly patients with cerebral infarction complicated with pulmonary infection.

BACKGROUND:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is progressive respiratory disease characterized by airflow limitation.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the therapeutic effect of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel transplantation in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
METHODS:Sixty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control, model and treatment groups (n=20 per group). Rat models of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were made in the model and treatment group, while no treatment was done in the control group. After modeling, rats in the treatment group were given tail vein injection of CM-Dil-labeled adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel s, and rats in the model and control groups given the same amount of normal saline. Rat pulmonary ventilation function, inflammatory factor level and pathological changes of the lung were detected at 14 days after cel transplantation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After modeling, reduced lung function was found in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, but the cel transplantation significantly improved this reduction (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, significantly reduced indexes were visible in the treatment group (P<0.05), including the total number of white blood cel s, the number of macrophages and neutrophils, levels of interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factorαand C-reactive protein in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid as wel as serum level of malondialdehyde, while serum superoxide dismutase activity was increased significantly in the treatment group (P<0.05). In the treatment group, emphysema-like changes were mitigated and CM-Dil-labeled adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel s were capable of homing to the lung tissue of rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and survived. Al these findings show that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel transplantation can improve lung function of rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and reduce inflammatory response, which has for certain some therapeutic effects.
