Objective To determine the expression of Toll-like receptor 5(TLR5) mRNA in the lung tissues of rats with acute lung injury induced by flagellin, and to investigate its potential role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Methods Flagellin was isolated and purified from Escherichia coli ATCC25922, subsequently identified by monoclonal antibody to flagellin. One hundred and eight SD rats were randomly divided into control group (n=36), flagellin challenged 1 group (n=36) and flagellin challenged 2 group (n=36). Rat model of ALI was reproduced by injecting flagellin. The expression of TLR5 mRNA in the lung tissues of rats was determined with in situ hybridization technique at six time points. Blood gas was monitored and pathological changes in the lung was observed at the same time. Result Flagellin was isolated and purified successfully and its molecular weight was approximately 65kD. Flagellin-induced acute lung injury model was successfully reproduced in rats. From 1h after flagellin injection, TLR5 mRNA expression was found to be increased in the lung tissues of rats with flagellin induced acute lung injury, and the expression was on the increase with the elapse of time and increase of the dose of flagellin. The PaO_2 levels in flagellin challenged 1 and 2 groups decreased. Interstitial edema, alveolar edema and inflammatory cells infiltration were also observed in flagellin challenged groups. Conclusion Flagellin can induce ALI in rats; the development of flagellin induced ALI in rats is related with TLR5 expression in the lung tissues of rats.

Objective To understand the adherence to current treatment guidelines after training in man-agement of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) in emergency department (ED),and to assess the patients' prognosis. Methods Were ED doctors trained with a standard management flow-sheet for AECOPD. The treatment of 152 AECOPD patients recruited from November 1,2008 to April 30,2009 in our hospital and their prognosis were compared to those of 133 AECOPD patients who were treated between Novem-ber 1,0007 to April 30,2008. Results After training, the ED doctors' management of AECOPD is more standard. The rate of the combination of inhaled anticholinergics and short-acting β_2-agonists was increased from 12.0% (16/133) to 27.6% (42/152), the use of inhaled glucocorticosteroids was increased from 52.6% (70/133) to 88.8% (135/152), and the early use of noninvasive imermittent positive pressure ventilation(NIPPV) for the mod-erate to severe was increased from 10.5% (14/133) to 16.4% (25/152). The use of theophylline was decreased from 69.2% (92/133) to 49.3% (75/152). The in-ED mortality rate was decreased from 15.8% (21/133) to 12.5% (19/152). All the difference were significant (P< 0.05). The rate of inhaled β_2-agonists was increased from 78.2% (104/133) to 82.9% (126/152), the use of systemic glucocorticosteroids was decreased from 63.2% (84/133) to 56.6% (86/152),the use of antibiotics was increased from 88.0% (117/133) to 92.8% (141/152), and the use of invasive mechanical ventilation was increased from 14.3% (19/133) to 15.1% (23/152) ,the in-hos-pital mortality rate was decreased from 6.0% (8/133) to 5.3% (8/152), the average days in hospital was decreased from 13.3 to 12.4 days, but the difference was not significant (P > 0.05). Conclusions There are still some differences exist between guideline recommendations and actual ED management of AECOPD. After training ED doctora with a standard flow-sheet, their management of AECOPD is improved. The rate of the combination of inhaled anticholinergics and short-acting β_2-agonists, use of inhaled glucocorticosteroids, and early use of NIPPV is increased. The use of theophylline and the in-ED mortality rate is decreased.

Objective To determine the expression of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER-2) in breast cancer and its correlation with Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α). Methods We used SABC method to detect the expression of HER-2 and TNF-α in 112 cases of primary breast cancer, and analyzed the association of HER-2 expression with clinicopathological features and TNF-α expression. Results The positive expression rate of HER-2 in breast cancer was 35.71% (40/112), of which, the expression rate was 35.05% (34/97) in 97 invasive tubic breast cancer, and 33.33% (2/6) in invasive lobular breast cancer,25.00% (1/4) in mucinous carcinoma, and 50. 00% (2/4) in intraductal carcinoma. There was no significant correlation between HER-2 and any clinicopathological features of primary breast cancer ( P > 0. 05 ). The expression of HER-2 in breast cancer had no signiciant association with TNM stage, age, age of menarche,menopause, gravidity, parity and family history of cancer ( Ps > 0. 05 ), The positive rate of TNF-α was 23.61% (17/72) when HER-2 was negative, whereas the positive rate of TNF-α was 52. 50% (21/40) when HER-2 was positive. The expression of HER-2 was signiciantly positively correlated with the expression of TNF-α (r = 0. 881, P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion HER-2 expression had a positive correlation with TNF-α in breast cancer,but the specific mechanism is still unclear.

Objective To investigate the appropriate method in diagnosing precursor lesions of pancreatic cancer and its treatment. Methods From Jan. 2006 to Dec. 2007, 92 cases were operated for pancreatic neoplasms. Among them 7 cases had pancreatic precursors. The mucinous cystic neoplasm was found in 1 case, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm(IPMN) in 2 cases, endocrine tumor in 1 case and pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) in 3 cases. CA19-9 level was tested by immunoflucence assay. All of the 7 patients were examined by CT. Endoscopic ultrasound(EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography examinations were performed on 1 and 2 patients respectively. Results There was neither specific symptom related to these precursors nor any evidence of mass as revealed by CT or ultrasound. But dilatation and stricture of pancreatic duct were found in PanIN patients, and cystic dilatation of pancreatic duct in pancreatic head was present more in IPMN patients. For cystic neoplasms in pancreatic body and tail, they were commonly solid and isolated. CA19-9 level was slightly elevated in some patients but with no diagnostic value. Surgical resection was done with excellent result. Conclusion For the suspected pancreatic precursors, aggressive diagnostic approach and surgical resection will be the best option and can further prevent cancer development.

Objective To study on the association of apolipoprotein E(apoE)genotype with coronary heart disease(CHD)and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods PCR-RFL,multiplex amplification refractory mutation system(muli-ARMS)and PCR-SSCP methods were used to detect the genotype of apoE,and DNA sequencing technique were used for further confrm the genotype and gene variations in 2 446 Chinese individuals,including 238 cases of CHD,316 cases of T2DM and 1 892 healthy controls.Fasting blood glucose(FBG)and plasma lipids levels[TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C,apoA I,apoB and Lo(a)]were measured by usual methods.Results Compared with the controls,plasma HDL-C(t=2.66)and apoA I(t=2.30)levels in the CHD group were significantly lower(P<0.05),but not in T2DM group;plasma TC level(t=5.22)in the T2DM group were significantly higher(P<0.05),but not in CHD group;systolic pressure(t=8.48,5.74)diastolic pressure(t=5.66,3.35),plasma TG(t=3.38, 4.56),LDL-C(t=2.48,7.00),apoB(t=1.67,2.24),Lp(a)(t=4.16,4.15)and FBG(t=7.04, 16.93)levels were significantly higher in both CHD group and T2DM group(P<0.05).The distributions of apoE ε2/2,ε2/3,ε3/3,ε2/4,ε3/4 and ε4/4 respectively were 0.4%,13.4%,58.0%,1.3%, 26.5%,0.4% in the CHD group;0.6%,5.7%,72.8%,1.9%,14.9%,4.1% in the T2DM group; 0.5%,10.5%,69.6%,1.6%,16.8%,1.1% in the control group.Significant differences were found between the CHD group(χ2=14.90,P=0.00),T2DM group(χ2=7.08,P=0.03)and the control group for the frequencies of apoE genotype.The distribution of ε3/4 was higher(26.5% vs 16.8%)and ε3/3 Was lower(58.0% vs 69.6%)in the CHD group.In the T2DM group.the distribution of εε4/4 Was higher (4.1% vs 1.1%),and 2 cases of ε3/3 with Arg 150 His mutation in exon 4 of apoE gene were firstly reposed in China,which is none in the CHD and control groups.Conclusions The results suggested that apoE ε3/4 and ε4 genotypes might be associated with the susceptibility of CHD and T2DM.respectively. To some extent,apoE ε3/3 may not be a good genotype for T2DM because of the Arg 150 His mutation. Blood pressure and plasma lipids could be used for diagnosis of the two diseases.
