Objective To evaluate the effect of ecoimmunonutrition on systemic inflammatory response in swine with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP). Methods Swine model of ANP was induced by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate and trypsin into the pancreatic duct. 24h after the ANP models were established, eighteen swine were randomly divided into total parenteral nutrition (PN) group (n = 6), enteral nutrition (EN) group (n = 6), and ecoimmunonutrition (E1N) group (n = 6). Each of the three nutrition formulas was given to each group respectively for eight days. The level of plasma endotoxin and serum concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 were measured before, 24 h after the induction of ANP and 1,2, 4, 8 d after nutrition support. Results 24 hours after the ANP models were established, the serum level of plasma endotoxin, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10, NF-κB activities in EIN group were ( 1.85 ± 0.18) EU/L,(461.59 ± 128.25 ) pg/ml, ( 185.49 ± 58.81 ) pg/ml, ( 354.26 ± 34.63 ) pg/ml, ( 110.32 s 25. 18 ) pg/ml,(51.06 ± 2.27 )%, respectively, which all were significantly higher than those before the ANP models were established, but there were no difference among three groups. Eight days after nutrition support, those levels in EIN group were (1.48 ±0.16 )EU/L, (30.11 ±9.12)pg/ml, (20.17 ±7.04)pg/ml, (36.42 ±7.24) pg/ml and ( 89.46 ± 13.54 ) pg/ml, (9.06 ± 0. 17 ) %, respectively, which all were significantly lower than those of TPN and EEN group ( P < 0. 05 ). The ration of IL-10/IL-6 was 2.51 ± 0.42 in EIN group, and 2.28 ± 0. 19 before the ANP models were established. Conclusions EIN could attenuate endotoxemia, decrease NF-κB activities and serum concentrations of cytokines and maintained the balance of pro- and anti-inflammation.

Objective To evaluate the influence of aging on left ventricular systolic and diastolic function by quantitative tissue velocity image(QTVI) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Methods Sixty healthy participants aged from 36 to 82 years old were divided into age <60 years group (32 cases) and age≥60 years old group (28 cases). Compared traditional echocardiography,QTVI and BNP between the two groups, and analysised the correlation between age and the abovementioned measurements. Results Compared age ≥60 years group with age <60 years group, the ratio of early to late mitral annulus flow velocity(E/A) (0. 92 ±0. 18 vs. 1. 28 ± 0. 18), mean of systolic mitral annulus velocity (Sm) ([6. 04 ± 0.77] cm/s vs.[6. 89 ± 1. 03] cm/s) ,mean of early diastolic mitral annulus velocity (Em) ([5. 67 ±0.99]cm/s vs. [7.29 ± 1. 11]cm/s),the ratio of Em to Am(Em/Am) (0. 79 ± 0. 13 vs. 1.18 ± 0. 33) were significantly decreased (t =5. 396,2.478,4.075,3. 535, respectively, Ps < 0. 05), whereas mean of late diastolic mitral annulus velocity (Am) ([7. 67 ±0. 80]cm/s vs. [6. 80 ± 1. 16] cm/s),the ratio of E to Em(E/Em) (14. 83 ±4.43 vs. 10. 68 ±2. 85), BNP ([51. 25 ± 12. 21] ng/L vs. [14. 15 ± 6. 68] ng/L) were significantly increased (t =-2. 268,-2.995 and-3. 523, Ps < 0.05) . Age was negatively correlated with Sm, Em, Em/Am, E/A (r =-0.411,-0. 631,-0.622,-0. 614,Ps<0.05),and age was positively correlated with Am,E/Em and BNP (r = 0.481,0.614 and 0. 684,Ps <0. 05). Conclusion Left ventricular systolic and diastolic function decreased with aging. QTVI and BNP could evaluate left ventricular function sensitively and easily.

Objective To investigate the structural response of diaphragm and soleus of the rat after mechanical ventilation (MV), and to explore the specific mechanism of the dysfunction of both muscles.Methods Sixteen male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into control group and MV group, with 8 rats in each group. Rats in MV group were treated with controlled ventilation and maintained anesthesia, and those in control group were only anesthetized without MV and maintained anesthesia. The diaphragm and soleus were harvested after MV for 18 hours, and the morphology changes were observed with light microscope. The cross section of muscle fiber was observed by immunofluorescence technique analysis, and the cross-sectional area of muscle fiber was calculated. The ultra structural changes in muscle fibers were observed under transmission electron microscope.Results ① Observed under light microscope, the cross section of the diaphragm and soleus muscle in the control group was regular, the nucleus was normal and the cytoplasm was homogeneous. The fibers in the diaphragm-biopsy specimens from MV subjects were smaller than those from control subjects, whereas these signs were not found in soleus. But fiber atrophy in MV specimens was not accompanied by an inflammatory-cell infiltrate. ② Under the fluorescence microscope, the control group had a smaller cross-section of the slow-twitch muscle in diaphragm, while the fast-twitch muscle fibers werelarger. As compared with diaphragm-biopsy specimens from control, specimens from MV subjects showed decreased cross-sectional areas of slow-twitch and fast-twitch fibers, respectively (μm2: 1069.00±155.24 vs. 1297.12±331.15, 2279.66±442.31 vs. 3031.80±596.11, bothP < 0.05). The disproportionate decrease in fast-twitch fibers cross-sectional areas [(70.42±3.61)% vs. (75.63±2.48)%] resulted inan increase in the percentage of total area occupied by the slow-twitch fibers [(29.58±3.61)% vs. (24.35±2.48)%, bothP < 0.01]. There were no significant differences in cross-sectional areas of slow-twitch and fast-twitch fibers in soleus between control group and MV group (μm2: 3193.80±559.36 vs. 3008.84±559.22, 3392.86±514.56 vs. 3594.35±651.67, bothP > 0.05). ③ In the control group, the muscle fibers of the diaphragm and soleus were arranged orderly, the boundary of the light and dark bands and the Z-line were clear, and there was no autophagy in the visual field. The outer membrane of the mitochondria was complete, and the cristae were in the shape of clapboard. The signs of misalignment of myofibrils, disruption of Z-line and vacuolar mitochondria were found in diaphragm from MV group, whereas these signs were not found in soleus. Diaphragm from MV group exhibited an increase in autophagic vesicles visualized by transmission electron microscopy as compared with control group.Conclusions Controlled MV for 18 hours resulted in diaphragmatic inactivity and promoted muscle injury and atrophy, while autophagy and mitochondrial dysfunction were enhanced. Soleus immobilization for 18 hours was not associated with muscle atrophy. These facts suggest that the signaling associated with diaphragm atrophy during MV may involve different mechanisms compared with other models of muscle atrophy. Diaphragm appeared to be more susceptible to MV.
