Objective Intestinal epithelial barrier damage is closely related to a variety of gastrointestinal disease,how to maintain its function effectively is the key to treat all these diseases.This research attempts to explore the protective effect and its mechanism of toll-like receptor 2 (Toll-like receptor,TLR2)on permeability of intestinal epithelial barrier by experiments in vitro,to lay a foundation for new treatment methods.Methods We cultured non-transfected Caco-2 cells,TLR2-deficiency Caco-2 cells,TLR2-overexpressed Caco-2 cells in normal control group until the 21 st d,then tested transepithelial electrical resistance(TEER) which reacts the permeability of epithelial barrier.We cultured 3 types of cells in inflammation group until the 19th d treated with 10 ng/ml IL-1 beta for 48 h,then tested TEER values at the 21st d.We treated 3 types of cells in inhibition group with PI3K/Akt pathway inhibitor for 1h befor IL-1 beta,then tested TEER values at the 21st d.Results TEER value of TLR2-deficiency Caco-2 cell monolayer significantly reduced (P ＜ 0.01),whereas TEER value of TLR2-overexpressed Caco-2 monolayer raised,but without statistically significant.TLR2 can prevent IL-1 beta caused TEER decreasing (P ＜ 0.01),but the effect disappeared after given PI3K/Akt pathway inhibitor.Conclusion TLR2 can regulate the permeability of intestinal epithelial barrier.In addition,TLR2 can protect permeability increasing caused by inflammation,this effect mediated by PI3 K/Akt pathway.

Objective Gastrointestinal dysfunction is closely correlated with the impairment of intestinal barrier caused by serious infection.We focused on the role of platelet activating factor(PAF)in the intestinal impairment caused by endotoxemia by studying on the morphology of intestinal epithelial ceils and diamine oxidase (DAO)levels with the application of Ginkgolide B(PAF receptor antagonist).Method Eighteen-day-old Wistar rats were randomized into lipopolysaccharide(LPS)(5 mg/kg),PAF receptor antagonist(pretreatment and treatment)and normal saline(Control)groups(n=8 at each time point).Ginkgolide B(PAF receptor antagonist BN52021)5 mg/kg was administered 30 minutes before(in pretreatment group)and after LPS injection(in treatment group).The ileum specimens(n=8)were harvested at 1.5,3,6,24,48 and 72 hours after LPS or NS injection.The ultrastructures of intestinal epithelial cells were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM)and with hematoxylin and erosin staining.The contents of DAO in ileum tissue and plasma were measured respectively with spectrophotometer.According to data Normality and Variance equality,ANOVA analysis and LSD (least significant difference)-t test were used for multiple group difference.The whole test Was performed in the animal laboratory,pathological laboratory,biochemical laboratory of our hospital and electron microscopy laboratory of Liao-ning University of Traditionary Chinese Medicine.Results Histologic examination of intestinal injury in LPS group showed the edema of intestinal villi,the capillary congestion in lamina propria,the dilation of interstitial lymphatic vessel.and the polymorphonuclear infiltration in enteric cavity in LPS group at 1.5,3,6,24 hours.The edema of the intestinal villi were shown in antagonist group.Ultrastructural study showed microvilli and tight junctions were intact in the control group.The tight junctions enlarged and the microvilli were thin,rare or disrupted in the experimental group.The pathological changes in PAF antagonist group were slightly lighter than that in the LPS group.The DAO content in the ileum tissue was obviously decreased in the LPS group compared with that in the control group.It reached to a nadir at 6 hrs[from(0.172±0.004)U/mg to(0.096±0.010)U/mg,F=13.372,P＜0.01).The DAO content in plasma was obviously higher in the LPS group than that in the control group.The patterns of DAO changes in the PAF antagonist group were as the same as that in the LPS group at each time point.Conclusions PAF may play a certain role in the injury of intestinal barrier in endotoxemia.Preventive and remedial administration of Ginkgolide B may relieve intestinal injury.The activity changes of DAO in plasma synchronized with that in ileum tissue.It may be deduced that the alterations of DAO in plasma may indicate the destruction of intestinal mucosa in the early stage sensitively.

Objective To establish and evaluate intestinal epithelial barrier model using Caco-2 cell so as to play a foundation for next study of barrier permeability.Methods Caco-2 cells were cultured in vitro then seeded into Transwell cell culture inserts.The permeability of the intestinal epithelial barrier was detected by transepithelial electrical resistance(TEER)and lucifer yellow flux,and verified by transmission electron micro-scope.Different concentrations of PAF(0,50,100,and 200 nmol /L)were exposed for 24 hours to Caco-2 mono-layer when cultured 21 days.The tight junction was observed under transmission electron microscope.Assess-ment of ZO-1 protein localization and expression were detected by immunofluorescence and Western blot analy-sis.Results Cultured Caco-2 cell confluencd as monolayer with time passed.From 5th day,TEER increased, then reached 600Ω?cm2 at 15th day and lasted to 21 st day,there was little flux of lucifer yellow,transmission e-lectron microscopy also found cells differentiated better,had well-arranged villi and polarity alined as monolayer, forming completed tight junction which was the marker of intestinal epithelial barrier model in vitro.TEER de-creased and lucifer yellow flux increased in cells exposed to PAF.The permeability reached the peak when ex-posed to 100 nmol /L PAF(P <0.01 ),tight junction disrupted,ZO-1 protein expression downregulated,abnor-mal localization and distribution was assessed by immunofluorescence staining.Conclusion Cultured Caco-2 cells for 2-3w can be used to study intestinal epithelial barrier as a model in vitro.PAF increased intestinal epi-thelial permeability,which would correlate to the decreased protein expression and abnormal distribution of ZO-1.

Objective To evaluate the protection of combined clostridium butyricum and bifidobac-terium living powders for antibiotic-associated diarrhea ( AAD ) with all kinds of infections in hospitalized children,and to compare the therapeutic effect with saccharomyces boulardii. Methods This study was a prospective,randomized case-control clinical trial which collected the data of the hospitalized children with all kinds of infections in Pediactric Department of Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University between May 2011 to May 2012. A total of 552 cases were enrolled and 480 cases completed the study. A total of 240 chil-dren were in experimental group,80 cases received combined clostridium butyricum and bifidobacterium liv-ing powders 840 mg per time,twice a day and the other 160 cases received saccharomyces boulardii 250 mg per time,twice a day,for one week; the control group took none of probiltics. Two groups received routine antibiotic therapy. Everyday′s defecate frequency was recorded, the traits of excrement according to bristol stool assessment scale were evaluated,the incidence of diarrhea and drug related adverse reactions were coun-ted. Results During the studied 7 days,the AAD incidence was 4. 2%(10/240) in experimental group and 20. 4%(49/240) in control group,there was significant difference between two groups. The risk of AAD in experimental group decreased 58. 5%. Compared to saccharomyces boulardii,combined clostridium butyricum and bifidobacterium living powders decreased 38. 2% (RR=0. 728, 95%CI 0. 257~0. 784, P=0. 009). Compared to control group,the average defecate frequency decreased in experimental group,diarrhea duration contracted,there was statistic difference between two groups ( P<0. 01 ) . No drug related adverse reactions happened during the trial. Conclusion Both combined clostridium butyricum and bifidobacterium living powders and saccharomyces boulardii could effectively reduce the risk of AAD in hospitalized children with bacterial infection,relieve diarrhea symptoms,short the duration of diarrhea,and did not find the adverse reac-tions. Combined clostridium butyricum and bifidobacterium living powders and saccharomyces boulardii had the same protective effect for AAD of northern China children.

ObjectiveTo investigate the significances of clinical diagnostic approaches to biliary atresia (BA) and intrahepatic cholestasis (IHC) in children, and to improve clinicians′ understanding of BA and reduce the rates of missed diagnosis and false diagnosis. MethodsA total of 133 children diagnosed with cholestasis with persistent jaundice admitted to our department from July 2011 to June 2014 were divided into IHC group with 111 patients and BA group with 22 patients. The general clinical trial data were reviewed and analysed and the significances of clinical manifestations, laboratory examination, and imaging features for differential diagnosis of BA and IHC were evaluated. Comparison of continuous data between the two groups was made by t test and comparison of categorical data between the two groups was made by chi-square test. When the sample characteristics for chi-square test were not suitable, the comparison was made by Fisher′s test. ResultsSignificant differences in clinical manifestations of kaolin stools and enlarged and hardened liver and spleen were observed between the two groups (P＜0.01). Total bilirubin (TB), direct bilirubin (DB), gamma GGT (γ-GT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels in BA group were significantly higher than those in IHC group (P＜0.01). The specificity, positive predictive value, and positive likelihood ratio of γ-GT were the highest among them, while TB had the highest sensitivity, the highest negative predictive value, and the lowest negative likelihood ratio. The sensitivity and negative predictive value of TB, DB, and γ-GT in the parallel experiment reached 100%. The specificity and positive predictive value of them in the serial experiment were 98% and 88.9%, respectively. There were significant differences in the hepatic portal fibrous mass and gallbladder hypokinesia detected with ultrasonography of the liver, gallbladder, and spleen and in magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) features between the two groups (P＜001). The specificity and positive predictive values of them in serial experiment reached 100%. ConclusionKaolin stools, enlarged and hardened liver and spleen, TB, DB, γ-GT, ultrasonography, and MRCP of the liver and gallbladder are important indices to distinguish between BA and IHC and a combined analysis of them can improve the diagnostic accuracy.

Objective To investigate the effect of miR-7 on the migration ability of intestinal epithelial cells and its related mechanisms. Methods LS174T cells were transfected with miR-7 mimic and miR-7 inhib-itor respectively. The effect of miR-7 on cell migration ability was detected by transwell chamber. The changes of PI3K, p-Akt and Akt protein in each group were detected by Western Blot. Results Compared with the control group, miRNA mimic negative control group and miRNA inhibitor negative control group, the number of cells in the miR-7 mimic group through the tranwell chamber decreased, the cell migration rate decreased, and the expression of PI3K and p-Akt protein decreased at the same time, the difference was statistically signifi-cant (P<0. 05). In the miRNA inhibitor group, the number of cells in the tranwell chamber increased, the cell migration rate increased, and the expression of PI3K and p-Akt protein was increased at the same time, the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). Conclusion miR-7 can inhibit the migration of LS174T cells, which may be through the regulation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
