Objective To study the effect of Sarcandra Glabra on the expression of signal transduction molecules of TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway in miniature pig of radiation-induced lung injury.Methods 75 miniature pigs were divided into control group,radiation group and radiation plus medication group randomly.At 1 week before exposure of right lung with 15 Gy γ-rays,the miniature pigs in radiation plus medication group were given Sarcandra glabra,while those in the other groups received an equal amount of saline.Right lung were taken at weeks 2,4,8,12 and 24 after irradiation,the pathological changes in the lung tissue were observed by HE staining,and the expression of mRNA and protein of TGF-β1,Smad2,Smad3,and Smad7 were detected by real-time PCR and western blotting,respectively.Results Sarcandra glabra reduced the inflammation and fibrosis of the lung tissue in miniature pig after irradiation.Compared with control group,the expressions of TGF-β1 and Smad3 were significantly increased at 2 weeks after irradiation(P ＜ 0.05),Smad2 and Smad7 were increased at 8 and 12 weeks after irradiation(P ＜ 0.05),respectively,in the radiation group.Compared with the radiation group,the expressions of TGF-β1 and Smad2 were significantly decreased(P ＜ 0.05) from the fourth and eighth week,respectively,Smad3 had no obvious change while Smad7 was significantly increased from the second week in the radiation plus medication group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Sarcandra Glabra plays protective effect on radiation-induced lung injury in miniature pig by regulating TGF-β1,Smad2 and Smad7 expressions in the TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway.

With the research on tumor immunity and tumor immunosuppression development,immunotherapies for lung cancer has become a research hotspot.Tumor immune microenvironment plays an important role in tumor genesis,development and metastasis of lung cancer.Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the dominant leukocyte population found in immune microenvironment of lung cancer.The relationship between TAMs and lung cancer becomes clear with further research.TAMs may become the new target of lung cancer immunotherapy.

As a commonly used non-contact flatness detection method, laser triangular detection method is designed with low cost, but it cannot avoid measurement errors caused by strip steel vibration effectively. This paper puts forward a dynamic flatness image processing method based on improved laser triangular detection method. According to the practical application of strip steel straightening, it completes the image pre-processing, image feature curve extraction and calculation of flatness elongation using digital image processing technology. Finally it eliminates elongation measurement errors caused by the vibration.

Objective To evaluate the effect of early enteral nutrition (EN) on the pancreatic exocrine secretion in dogs with acute necrotizing panereatitis (ANP). Methods ANP model was induced by injection of mixtured solution of 5% sodium tanrecholate and trypsin into the pancreatic duct. Thirty dogs were randomly divided into total parenteral nutrition (TPN) group (n=5), duodenal PEPTI-2000VARIENT (DP) group (n=5), duodenal Nutrison MuhiFibre (DN) group (n=5), jejunal PEPTI-2000VARIENT (JP) group (n=5), jejunal Nutrison MuhiFibre (JN) group (n=5). The dogs were treated by either TPN or EN 24 hours after ANP model induction and the nutrition support lasted for 5 days. Serum amylase, LDH, lipase, secretin (SEC), cholecystokinin (CCK) and gastrin were measured at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 d. Pancreatic juice was collected for 3 hours after TPN or EN started, and the amount of pancreatic juice and levels of proteinase, amylase, lipase, HCO3-, K+, Cl-, Na+ were determined. Dogs in each group were sacrificed at day 7. Histological and ultra-structure changes of the pancreatic tissues were evaluated pathologically. Results The levels of serum amylase, LDH, lipase, CCK, amount of pancreatic secretion and K+, Cl+, Na+ were not significantly different among these groups. The levels of plasma SEC and gastrin, HCO3-, proteinase, amylase, lipase in the duodenal nutrition groups were significantly higher than those in TPN group (P<0.05). The above mentioned parameters in the jejunal nutrition group were significantly lower than those in the duodenal group (P<0.05) and higher than those in the TPN group without significant difference. Among the 2 jejunal nutrition groups, the levels of plasma gastrin, HCO3- in pancreatic juice, proteinase, amylase, lipase in the JP group were significantly higher than those in the JN group (P<0.05). The above mentioned parameters in the DP group were significantly lower than those in the DN group (P<0.05). The amount of pancreatic secretion, HCO3-,K+, Cl+, Na+ were not significantly different among these groups. The pathological changes were similar among these groups, and the extent of pathological changes was relatively better in the JP group. The amount and density of intracytoplasm zymogen granules of pancreatic acinar cell were not significantly lower than those in the TPN group. Conclusions The delivery of nutrients to the proximal jejunum with elemental low-fat diets did not increase the pancreatic exacrine activity.

Objective To explore the influence and mechanism of cytokines and protein expression of alveolar epithelial type (ACE) Ⅱ cells in Bama minipigs' right-thorax with a single 15 Gy dose irradiation.Methods All minipigs received either right thoracic irradiation or sham-irradiation under anesthesia.At 4,8,12 and 24 week post-irradiation,5 minipigs respective and random from irradiarion groups and control group were sacrificed to remove the lungs.The protein expression of surfactant associated protein (SP)-A,transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1,Vimentin and E-cadherin were detected by Western blot.The protein expression of α-smooth muscle actin (SMA) was detected by immunohistochemistry.The co-localization of SP-A and α-SMA was visualized by double immunofluorescence staining.Results At 4,8,12 and 24 week post-irradiation,a significant increase in the protein expression of α-SMA,TGF-β1 and Vimentin were observed in irradiated lung compared to sham-irradiated controls(α-SMA:t =2.46-3.26,P ＜0.05;TGF-β1:t =2.96-3.52,P ＜0.05;Vimentin:t =3.24-5.05,P ＜ 0.05).By contrast,the protein expression of SP-A and E-cadherin in irradiation group was lower than it in control group (SP-A:t =3.62-4.65,P ＜ 0.05;E-cadherin:t =2.53-4.15,P ＜ 0.05).Moreover,at 8 week after irradiation,under confocal laser scanning microscope,the co-localization of SP-A and α-SMA was observed in irradiated alveolar epithelium cells,and it was not observed in sham-irradiated controls.Conclusions These data demonstrate that E-cadherin,SP-A and TGF-β1 may act as sensitive predictors of radiation-induced lung injury(RILI).Irradiation may lead to ACE Ⅱ cells achieving a mesenchymal phenotype,namely,epithelial to mesenchymal cells transition occurs,and ACE Ⅱ cells play the important part in the development of RILI by epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
