Liver fibrosis can be caused by chronic liver injury arising from various etiological factors and it is a reversible process. The activation of the hepatic stellate cell( HSC) is the central event in liver fibrosis,since we know that cytokines secreted from Kupffer cell participate in HSC proliferation,apoptosis and ECM metabolism. In this paper we focus on the relation-ship between HSCs,Kupffer cell,cytokines and the course of hepatic fibrosis. Elucidating this relationship will benefit research on the role of Kupffer and HSCs in hepatic fibrosis.

Objective To study correlation of the retinal nerve epithelium layer thickness measured with different optical coher-ence tomography (OCT) in vivo with histological measurement. Design Experimental study. Participants 15 rabbit eyes. Methods The retina measurement position of 15 rabbit eyes were marked by laser, and then were scanned by OSE-1800 OCT and Stratus OCT. Reti-nal nerve epithelium layer thickness was measured in retinal histological shdes of rabbit eyes. The results measured with three methods were compared and linear regression analyses were done with SPSS11.5 software. Results The average retinal nerve epithelium layer thickness measured with OSE-1800 OCT, Stratus OCT and histological method were 119.5±7.4, 118.0±5.6, and 116.3±8.8μm respec-tively(P=0.292). Retinal nerve epithelium layer thickness measured with both OCT instruments had the best correlation (r=0.914, P= 0.000), and the thickness measured with Stratus OCT and histological method had the better correlation (r=0.872, P=0.001), and the thickness measured with OSE-1800 OCT and histological method had the significant correlation (r=0.833, P=0.002). Conclusions The retinal nerve epithelium layer thickness measured with different OCTs in vivo correlate well with histomorphometry, and the measure-ment of both OCT instruments are accurate.

Objective To examine the effects of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor on the behavioral response to zebrafish larvae after hypoxia/reoxygenation brain injury and to identify whether the protective effect is mediated by inhibiting apoptosis and protein,and mRNA related to apoptosis.Methods The 5-day post-fertilization zebrafish larvae were randomly assigned to 3 groups:control group,model group and intervention group.Fishes in the intervention group were separated into 3 subgroups according to p38 MAPK inhibitor concentration (5,10,20 μmol/L).The activity levels of the larvae were analyzed by using quantization mode of ZebraLab software,swimming distance and moving speed were recorded.Terminal transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assays of brain assays were performed.The protein levels of phosphorylation of p38 MAPK,apoptosis related proteins of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2),Bcl-2 associated X protein(Bax) and Caspase-3 were determined by Western blot.The mRNA expressions of Bcl-2,Bax,and caspase-3 were also analyzed by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR).Results The activity movement analysis of the intervention group 2 and 3 demonstrated a significantly increase in the swimming distance compared with the model group(P ＜ 0.05).After irradiation under strong light,all groups showed dramatically increasing in the moving speed.After removal of strong light,a significant decrease in moving speed was found in the control group and intervention group 2 and intervention group 3.The TUNEL assay showed that apoptosis index decreased in the intervention group (21.7 ±2.0,12.8 ± 1.9,17.7 ±2.6) compared with model group (46.8 ±5.3) (all P ＜0.01).Western blot assays demonstrated a significant increase protein level of phosphorylation of p38 MAPK after hypoxia and reoxygenation,and the inhibitor reduced the p-p38 MAPK expression.Compared with the model group,p38 MAPK inhibitor increased the protein and mRNA expression level of Bcl-2,whereas reduced the Bax and caspase-3 expression in the brain.Conclusions Under the influences of p38 MAPK inhibitor,zebrafish larvae improved the behavioral changes after hypoxia-induced brain injury.The inhibitor (10 μmol/L) optimally reduces hypoxia-induced apoptosis in brain by up-regulating Bcl-2,down-regulating Bax/caspase-3 protein and their mRNA level.

Objective To investigate the effect of intrathecal morphine preconditioning on the expression of nerve growth factor (NGF) in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) in a rat model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R).Methods Thirty healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats in which intrathecal catheters were successfully placed without complications,weighing 250-350 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (S group),I/R group,intrathecal morphine preconditioning group (ITMP group),μ receptor antagonist CTOP + intrathecal morphine preconditioning group (CTOP + ITMP group),and CTOP control group (CTOP group).Myocardial ischemia was induced by 30 min of occlusion of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery followed by 120 min of reperfusion in all the groups except S group.Intrathecal morphine preconditioning was produced by 3 cycles of 5 min intrathecal injection of morphine 3 μg/kg (10 μl) at 5 min intervals within 30 min before ischemia in ITMP group.In CTOP+ITMP and CTOP groups,1 μg/μ1 CTOP 10 μl was injected intrathecally at 10 min before morphine preconditioning and 40 min before ischemia,respectively.At 120 min of reperfusion,the rats were sacrificed,and myocardial specimens were obtained for determination of myocardial infarct size,and DRGs were removed for determination of the expression of NGF by using immunohistochemistry and Western blot.Results Compared with S group,the myocardial infarct size was significantly increased,and the expression of NGF in DRGs was significantly up-regulated in I/R group (P＜0.05).Compared with I/R group,the myocardial infarct size was significantly decreased,and the expression of NGF in DRGs was significantly down-regulated in ITMP group (P＜ 0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in CTOP group (P＞0.05).Compared with ITMP group,the myocardial infarct size was significantly increased,and the expression of NGF in DRGs was significantly up-regulated in CTOP+ITMP and CTOP groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which intrathecal morphine preconditioning reduces myocardial I/R injury is related to activation of spinal μ receptors,inhibition of NGF expression in DRGs,and reduction of responses to noxious stimulation in the rats.
