AIM: To study the signal pathway involved in up-regulation of LPS-induced HO-1 expression by CCK-8. METHODS: Forty-two SD rats were divided into 7 groups (six rats each) randomly as follows: control group, LPS group, LPS+SP600125 (JNK-specific inhibitor) group, CCK-8+LPS group, CCK-8+LPS+SP600125 group, CCK-8 group and CCK-8 +SP600125 group. Lungs from the rats in these 7 groups were excised 6 h after the agents were administered. HO-1 mRNA expression was examined by RT-PCR. The protein expression of HO-1 was detected by Western blotting and immunofluorescence flow cytometry (FCM). RESULTS: There were significant positive expression of HO-1 mRNA in LPS group compared to control group. CCK-8 enhanced LPS-induced HO-1 mRNA expression and CCK-8 alone induced HO-1 mRNA expression as well. The mRNA expressions of HO-1 in LPS group, CCK-8+LPS group and CCK-8 group were 3.01 (P<0.01), 5.88 (P<0.01) and 3.45 (P<0.01) times as many as that in control group, respectively. SP600125 inhibited the mRNA expression of HO-1 induced by CCK-8 and (or) LPS. The change of HO-1 protein expression was in accordance with that of HO-1 mRNA expression by Western blotting and immunofluorescence FCM. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that JNK/c-Jun signal pathway plays an important role in the up-regulation of LPS-induced HO-1 expression by CCK-8.

Objective To observe the role and mechanism of CO-releasing molecules (CORMs) -2in the injured lung induced by ischmia-reperfusion (IR) of hind limbs of rat.Methods The rat model of lung injury was made by ischemia in hind limbs of rat for two hours and then reperfusion for two hours as well.There were 40 SD rats randomly ( random number) divided into 5 groups ( n =8 ),namely sham ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) group,sham I/R + CORM-2 group,I/R group,I/R + CORM-2 group and I/R + DMSO (Dimethylsulfoxide) group. Rats in sham I/R group underwent laparotomy without infrarenal aorta occlusion.The lung tissue structure,polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) count,wet-to-dry weight ratio (W/D), malondialdehyde (MDA) content, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 ( ICAM-1 ),nuclear IκBα degradation and NF-κB activity in the lung were measured.Results Compared with the sham I/R group,the number of PMNs in lung,W/D,MDA content,MPOactivity,ICAM-1 and NF-κB activity significantly increased in I/R group,whereas nuclear IκBα decreased (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with the I/R group,the number of PMNs in lung,W/D,MDA content,MPO activity and ICAM-1 significantly decreased in I/R + COMR-2 group ( P ＜ 0.01 ), while nuclear IkBαincreased. Conclusions These data demonstrate that CORM-2 attenuates limb I/R-induced lung injury by inhibiting ICAM-1 protein,NF-κB pathway and the leukocytes sequestration in the lung following limb I/R in rats,suggesting that CORM-2 could be used as one of the most valuable therapeutic agents.

Objective: To develop an approach for simultaneous detection of multi-mycotoxins in fresh fruits, so as to provide technical supports for mycotoxins surveillance in fresh fruits. Methods: Fresh fruits were collected from markets and homogenized. Then, 2 g of fresh fruits were added with 10 mL of 0.1% formic acid ( 99∶1, v/v ) in acetonitrile and wortexed for 10 min. Following extraction with 1 g of sodium chloride and 4 g of anhydrous sodium sulfate, samples were centrifuged and 5 mL of the supernatant was cleaned up with 25 mg C18. Following centrifugation, the supernatant was dried under nitrogen. The residue was dissolved in 300 μL of methanol-acetonitrile mixture solution ( 1∶1, v/v ), and mixed evenly in 700 μL of the distilled water. Samples were then eluted in gradient series of 0.1% formic acid and 5 mmol ammonium formate and methanol-acetonitrile mixture solution ( 1∶1, v/v ). The 15 mycotoxins were determined using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry ( LC-MS/MS ) with electrospray ion source (ESI+/ESI-) under multiple reaction monitoring. In addition, a matrix-matched standard curve was employed for quantitative analysis. Results: There was a good linear relationship for 15 mycotoxins at concentrations of 0.25 to 10 ng/mL ( R2>0.992 ), the LC-MS/MS method showed the detection limits of 0.1-1.0 μg/kg, the spiked recovery rates of 71.68%-117.50%, and the relative standard deviations ( RSDs ) of 0.01%-13.60%. The detection rate of mycotoxins was 27.09% in 203 fresh fruits sold in markets. Conclusions The optimized LC-MS/MS method can be used for simultaneous determination of multi-mycotoxins in fresh fruits.

Objective To evaluate the role of miR-143, miR-145 in the development of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Methods The expression levels of miR-143 and miR-145 in 21 cases of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor and the matched non-tumor adjacent tissue specimens were examined by stem-loop real-time RT-PCR, and its correlation with clinicopathologic features of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor were analyzed. Results Expression level of miR-145 were significantly higher in tumor than adjacent normal tissues (P＜0.01 ) and that with mitotic count ≥ 5/50HPF cases was significantly lower than that with mitotic count ＜5/50HPF cases (P=0.02). miR-145 expression in huge tumor (＞10 cm)was significantly lower than that in the large tumor (5～10 cm) and small tumor (2～5 cm) (P=0.048).By Fletcher risk stratification system, miR-145 expression in high-risk cases was significantly lower than that in the intermediate-risk and low-risk cases (P=0.048). While the expression of miR-145 in low-risk group was significantly different compared to that in intermediate-risk group and high-risk group (P=0.01).There was no difference between the expressions of miR-143 in tumor and that in normal tissue(P=0.06).Conclusion In gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor, MiR-145 expression is significantly higher in tumor than adjacent normal tissues. miR-145 is closely associated with tumor size. mitotic counts and Fletcher risk stratification system.

Objective To evaluate the outcome of Stage Ⅱ nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) trea-ted by conventional fractionation radiotherapy. Methods From January 1990 to May 1999,216 patients with untreated stage Ⅱ NPC were irradiated by 6 MV photons and 9-12 MeV electrons with linear accelera-tor. Of 26 patients with residual lesions after 70 Gy irradiation, 18 received intracavitary brachytherapy and 8 received stereotactic irradiation boost. Results The 10-year overall survival (OS) of patients with T2 N0 M0, T1N1M0 and T2N1M0 disease were 90%, 80% and 75.2% (χ2 = 3.26, P =0. 200), respectively. The corresponding disease-free survival(DFS) and distant metastasis-free survival(DMFS) were 79% ,60% and 62.6% (χ2 = 5.87, P = 0.053) ;90% ,74% and 68.0% (χ2 = 7.09, P = 0. 030), respectively. In uni-variate analysis, T stage had no impact on OS, DFS or DMFS (χ2 = 0.44, P = 0. 500 ; χ2 = 0.44, P = 0.500 ; χ2 = 0.25, P = 0. 610), while N stage significantly influenced DFS and DM FS (χ2 = 5.86, P = 0. 015 ; χ2 = 5.31 ,P = 0. 021). Multivariate analysis showed that N stage was an independent prognostic factor for DFS and DMFS(χ2=5.03,P=0.025;χ2=6.47,P=0.01). Conclusions Stage Ⅱ NPCwithposifivelymph node treated by radiotherapy alone is inadequate. In order to improve DFS and DMS, combined chemo-radio-therapy should be considered.
