Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2003;0(06):-
Objective:To study the effect of Vitamin E(VitE)and Sodium selenite on nonalcoholic fatty liver(NAFL).Methods:24 SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups.The model group,treatment group and contrast group were respectively fed with high fat diet,interfering diet and normal diet.All animals were sacrificed at the end of the 5th week.The liver pathology was observed under the light microscope.Superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA)were determined by biochemistry analysis.The expressions of nuclear factor kappa B(NF-kB)and tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-?)proteins in hepatocytes were examined by immunohistochemistry.Result:①compared with the contrast group,serum and liver SOD levels decreased in model group,while MDA were raised.The expressions of NF-kB and TNF-a proteins in liver tissue increased significantly in model group.②compared with the model group,serum and liver SOD level increased in treatment group,while MDA was lowered.The expression of NF-kB proteins in liver tissue was reduced in treatment group,and no significant changes occured in TNF-a protein expression.Conclusions:Combination of sufficient quantum of VitE and Sodium selenite can improve the SOD activities and reduce the expression of NF-kB proteins in liver tissue,which is possibly the important mechanism for VitE and Sodium selenite to prevent NAFL.

Objective To evaluate the clinical,epidemiological,and viral molecular biology features of 26 patients infected with H7N9 avian influenza A virus. Methods Clinical and epidemiological data of 26 patients with con-firmed avian influenza A (H7N9)infection in 2013 and 2014 were collected,virus isolated from human and poultry were identified and typed through sequencing.Results Of 26 patients,fever and cough were the most common symptoms,all patients had pneumonia;20 patients (76. 92% )developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS);25 patients (96.15% )had leucopenia or normal leukocytes at the initial diagnosis;treatment with antivi-ral drugs was initiated in 25 patients at a median of 10 days after the onset of illness;10 patients (38.46% )died. Gene sequencing indicated Gln226Leu and Gly186Val substitutions in human virus H7 gene and the PB2 Asp701Asn mutation. Conclusion Acute respiratory system damage is the main clinical manifestation of avian influenza (H7N9)virus infection in humans,live poultry exposure is an important risk factor for H7N9 infection in humans, adaptive mutation occurred at partial site of avian virus gene,which can be more easily be spread from birds to hu-man and cause serious diseases,it is necessary to strengthen the pathogen monitoring.

10.Changes of prostaglandin in early brain injury and therapeutic effect of indomethacin
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2005;9(5):232-234
BACKGROUND: Traumatic brain injury generates a cascade of arachidonic acid metabolic events that mainly presented by the increment of prostaglandin and oxygen free radicals. Indomethacin can potently inhibit the activity of cyclooxygenase, decrease the synthesis of prostaglandins, and may decrease the production of oxygen free radical, and thus may attenuate the pathological changes of brain injury.OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes of prostaglandin in early brain injury and after indomethacin intervention, so as to explore the pharmacological mechanism of indomethacin.DESIGN: A randomized and controlled trial based on experimental animals.SETTING: Department of neurosurgery and department of cerebral surgery in a university hospital.MATERIALS: This study was carried out at the Laboratory of Neurosurgery Department, Medical College of Southeast University between March and September 2000. Thirty-six hybrid cats were randomly divided into normal control group, brain injury group and indometbacin intervention group, with 12 cats in each group.INTERVENTIONS: Brain injury was simulated according to previously reported grading mechanical traumatic animal model establishment; cats with medium brain injury were enrolled in this study. The ultimate concentrations of prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane A (TXA2) to 6-keto-prostaglandin F 1 alpha(6-keto-PGF1α) and thromboxane B2(TXB2) in brain vein blood, as well as total brain superoxide dismutase(SOD) and cerebral water content were measured 6 hours after trauma.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: 6-keto-PGF1α, TXB2, SOD, and cerebral water content.RESULTS: Both 6-keto-PGF1α and TXB2 in brain vein blood remarkably increased in early brain injury[from(0.057±0.010) g/L to (0.264±0. 126) g/L, from(0. 060 ±0. 012) g/L to(0. 134 ±0. 048) g/L respectively], with the increment of the former higher than the latter, the ratio of TXB2/6-keto-PGF1α decreased from 1. 052 ±0. 145 to 0. 545 ±0. 184, and cerebral water content increased from(77.39 ± 0. 36)% to (78.06±0.41)% ; meanwhile, total brain SOD significantly decreased from (94. 869 ± 5. 418) μkat/g to(54. 368 ± 3. 417) μ kat/g( P < 0.01) . In contrast to brain injury group, the concentrations of 6-keto-PGF1α and TXB2 in indomethacin intervention group significantly decreased, which were similar to those of control group, but the total SOD significantly increased from (54. 368 ±3. 417) pkat/g to (81. 433 ±7. 268) μkat/g (P <0. 01), and water content lightly decreased without statistical significance( P > 0. 1 ).CONCLUSION: PGI2 and TXA2 increase in early brain injury in experimental cat model, accompanied by free radical synthesis, resulting in the exacerbation of brain injury. Indomethacin may be helpful to relieve posttraumatic secondary brain injury by regulating the imbalance of PGT2 / TXA2 and decreasing the production of free radical.
