Objective To investigate the effects of propofol on activation of NF-κB in polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) in rats with LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI). Methods Sixty healthy SD rats of both sexes, aged 3 months, weighing 250-350 g, were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 12 each):control group (group C), ALI group and 3 different dose of propofol groups (group P1, P2, P3). The animals were anesthetized with intraperitaneal 3% pentobarbital sodium 40 mg/kg. LPS 5 mg/kg was injected via femoral vein in group ALI.Propofol 5, 10 and 15 mg· kg- 1· h- 1 was infused intravenously over 2 h immeliately after injection of LPS 5 ng/kg through femoral vein in group P1, P2 and P3 respectivey. In group C normal saline 10 ml was injected via femoral vein instead. All rats were killed by exsanguination at the end of infusion of propofol. The right lung was removed for microscopic examination. The morphologic changes were scored 0-3 (0 = normal, 3 = severe morphologic changes). Blood samples were collected from carotid artery for determination of the expression of total NF-κB and activated NF-κB in PMNs by Western blot. Results Compared with group C, morphologic change scores and activated NF-κB expression in PMNs were significantly increased in group ALI, P1 and P2, and morphologic change scores increased in group P3. Morphologic change scores in group P1 and P2 and activated NF-κB expression in PMNs in group P1, P2 and P3 were significantly decreased compared with those in group ALl. Morphologic change scores and activated NF-κB expression in PMNs were decreased gradually in group P1, P2 and P3 . There was no significant difference in total NF-κB expression in PMNs among all groups. Conclusion Propofol can attenuate ALI induced by LPS through inhibition of the activation of NF-κB in PMNs in rats.

Objective To observe the effect of intravenous injection of different doses of propofol on the ceil apoptosis and NF-kB p65 in the acute lung injury(ALl)induced by LPS in rats.Method Sixty SD rats were randomly(random number)divided into five groups,namely,control(NS)group,Au model group and propofol intervention groups(P1,P2,P3 groups).The lung injury was evaluated by using microscopy with hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining and arterial blood gas,and Western blotting Was applied to evaluating the nuclear translocation of NF-KB P65 in lung tissues.The apoptosis rate of lung tissue Was determined by flow cytometric analysis.Results Lung injury in model group reached the pathologic criteria of acute lung injury,and it was attenuated apparently in propofol intervention groups(P1,P2,P3 groups)in dose-dependent manner.Western blotting results showed that the nuclear translocation of NF-KB P65 and the apoptosis rate increased significantly in ALI model group compared with control group(P<0.05),and decreased in propofol intervention groups compared with ALl model group(P<0.05).Conclusions Propofol Can attenuate acute lung injury induced by LPS in rats,and significantly inhibit the nuclear translocation of NF-KB P65 and the cell apoptosis in lung tissues.The effect of propofol attenuating acute lung injury induced by LPS in rats may be attributed to the inhibition of nuclear translocation of NF-KB P65and ceil apoptosis in lung tissues.

Objective To compare the expression of renal transforming growth factor-?_1(TGF-?_1),its receptors type Ⅰ and Ⅱ(T?RⅠ and T?R Ⅱ) in two rat models of chronic nephropathy induced by CsA and FK506 respectively.Methods Rat models of chronic CsA-/FK506-induced nephropathy were established by administering sandimun Neoral and Prograf separately.Then their kidneys were dissected and the protein expression of TGF-?_1,T?RⅠand T?RⅡ,the mRNA levels of T?RⅠ and T?RⅡ was detected by using immunohistochemistry(IHC) and in situ hybridization(ISH) respectively.Results The IHC revealed that the integrated optical densities(IODs) of renal TGF-?_1,T?RⅠ and T?RⅡ were(605.24)?(140.24),(876.28)?(208.73) and(981.59)?(258.65) respectively in CsA-treated rats,(488.37)?(101.76),(586.63)?(131.21) and(543.34)?(105.26) respectively in FK506-treated ones.The ISH indicated that the IODs of renal T?RⅠ and T?RⅡ mRNA were(905.08)?(158.75) and(1090.92)?(242.73) respectively in CsA-treated rats,(661.37)?(205.65) and(716.27)?(195.55) respectively in FK506-treated ones.The difference of the above-mentioned five factors between the two groups was significant(P

AlM: To study the effects of different concentrations of Coix seed oil on human retinal capillary endothelial cells ( HRCECs ) proliferation and vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) expression in high glucose environment.
METHODS: HRCECs extracted from human fresher eyeball and cultured in vitro, and ultimately used in the experiment were the growth of 3rd ~ 4th cells, the experimental were divided into blank control group, low glucose control group, high glucose control group, high glucose + ( 50ü L/mL, 100ü L/mL, 200ü L/mL ) different concentrations Coix seed oil group. Detecting the multiplication of HRCECs by MTT, the immunocytochemical method was employed to detect the each group HRCECs of VEGF expression.
RESULTS:MTT assay results showed that: different concentrations of coix seed oil acted at HRCECs for 48h, inhibition of cell proliferation was significant difference compared with high glucose control group (P<0. 05). Within 48h showed concentration dependence. There was no statistical difference between the low glucose group and high glucose control group (P>0. 05). lmmunocytochemical assay showed that:50ü L/mL, 100ü L/mL, 200ü L/mL Coix seed oil acted at HRCECs 48h, the expression of VEGF decreased significantly compared with the high glucose control group ( P< 0. 05 ), and in a dose- dependent manner. However, in high glucose control group, the expression of VEGF was obvious higher than that of low glucose control group (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSlON:Coix seed oil can inhibit the HRCECs proliferation and suppress the VEGF expression in high glucose environment.

Objective To investigate migration of dendritic cells(DC)in orthotopic rat liver transplantation models.Methods Allogeneic models(Wistar→SD,experimental group)and syngenic models(Wistar→Wistar,control group)of rat liver transplantation were established.Graft livers and host celiac lymph nodes(n=4)of each group were sampled respectively at day 3,5,and 7 after the transplantation.The acute rejection was graded according to liver histopathological changes.The dy- namic state of DC number within graft and lymph nodes was detected by means of immunohistochemi- cal staining and image analysis.T-cell active proliferative response in lymph nodes was also studied. Results The histological examination revealed that mild to severe rejection occurred on the post-opera- tive days 5 and 7.At day 3 after transplantation,the number of S-100~+ DC in allograft was signifi- cantly increased and reached the peak at day 5,then decreased gradually at day 7.A significant num- ber of S-100~+ cells was detected in the allogeneic host lymph nodes from day 3 after transplantation, and displayed a continuous increasing trend for next several days.Active proliferation of T cells in the lymph nodes was triggered as early as day 3 after transplantation.Conclusion Allogeneic liver trans- plantation induces the accelerated migration of DC within the allograft and host lymphoid nodes.DC delivers a strong and sustained stimulation among T cells in the lymphoid nodes where effector cells are predominantly sensitized and rejected the graft eventually.

Significantly higher prevalences of diabetes mellitus and hypertension appeared in the first degree relatives in group B than in group A.

BACKGROUND: The femoral intramedul ary guides in total knee arthroplasty require high precision, complex operation, it is very important for prosthesis and joint function to choose more precise positioning method and determine the correct needle point. OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of needle point position on prosthesis arrangement when applying different femoral intramedul ary guides methods in total knee arthroplasty. METHODS: Total y 80 patients who received the treatment of total knee arthroplasty in Changshu No.1 People’s Hospital from January 2012 to July 2015 were selected and divided into test and control groups according to random number table (n=40/group). The patients in the test group accepted CT scan for femoral intramedul ary guides. The theoretical position of femoral intramedul ary guides entry point was marked using radiographic parameters. In the control group, the traditional total knee arthroplasty technology was used to mark the entry point of femoral intramedul ary guides. The needle point position when applying different femoral intramedul ary guide methods was observed. The effect of femoral intramedul ary guides on prosthesis arrangement in total knee arthroplasty was discussed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the control group, the distance from entry point to femoral anatomic line on positive and lateral X-ray film in the test group was shorter, femoral prosthesis lateral angle and physiological valgus angle were closer to the theoretical value, distance from intersection of femur axis and femoral condyle to block center was shorter; the differences were statistical y significant (P < 0.05). These results demonstrate that compared with the traditional two-dimensional intramedul ary positioning, the needle point position of three-dimensional CT scan stimulative positioning is more accurate. The location more concentrates on within intercondylar fossa 2-5 mm, more front of intercondylar fossa 3-10 mm, three-dimensional CT scan stimulative positioning is a reliable choice for femoral intramedul ary guides.
