Objective To discuss the role of p38MAPK signal pathway in the process of TWEAK inducing rheumatoid arthritis(RA) fibroblast-like synoviocyte(FLS) to synthesize MMP-9 and look for a new target for RA treatment. Methods RA FLS were primarily cultured and stimulated with TWEAK. Western blot was used to detect the expression of p-p38MAPK and p65 in RA FLS. FLS were pretreated by SB203580 or not. ELISA was used to detect the concentration of MMP-9 in cell-cultured fluid. The mRNA expression of MMP-9 was measured by RT-PCR. Results TWEAK( 100 ng/ml) can make p38MAPK phosphorylated and increased the expression of p65 protein in the cell nucleus. SB203580 can partially inhibit the expression of MMP-9 and MMP-9 mRNA produced by RA FLS which is induced by TWEAK. Conclusion TWEAK induced RA FLS to synthesize MMP-9, in that process, the p38MAPK signal trausduction pathway was in active state, and induced the expression of NF-κB.

Objective To investigate the levels of transformation growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1),vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and insulin growth factor-Ⅰ (IGF-Ⅰ) role in the pathogenesis of serum of patients with combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE).Methods Recruited 20 patients with CPFE,40 cases with idiopathic pulmonary interstitial fibrosis (IPF) and 40 cases with emphysema who were admitted to our hospital during July 2011 to February 2012.Serum levels of TGF-β1,VEGF and IGF-Ⅰ were detected by ABC-ELISA.Results Serum levels of TGF-β1 and IGF-Ⅰ were significantly higher in patients with CPFE and IPF than these in patients with emphysema (TGF-β1:(160.73 ± 40.62) ng/L vs.(167.35 ± 42.82) ng/L vs.(128.75 ±35.77) ng/L; IGF-Ⅰ:(179.65 ±60.73) ng/L vs.(192.32 ±58.75) ng/L vs.(148.73 ±49.67) ng/L,P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).The IPF group had significantly higher serum level of VEGF than the emphysema group ((506.12 ±82.37) ng/L vs.(437.31 ±62.58) ng/L,P <0.01).Serum levels of TGF-β1 and IGF-Ⅰ in CPFE and emphysema groups were positively correlated (r =0.885,0.918 respectively,P < 0.01).Smokers in the CPFE group had significandy lower level of serum VEGF than those who did no smoke ((406.19 ± 66.94) ng/L vs.(482.88 ± 79.91) ng/L,t =-2.287,P =0.035).Conclusion Serum level of VEGF increased significantly in the IPF group,suggesting the participation of VEGF in pulmonary interstitial fibrosis.IGF-Ⅰ involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis.TGF-β1 and IGF-Ⅰ have a positive linear regressive relationship,which indicates that they may work synergistically in the process of the fibrosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of propofol on the development of spatial learning and memory and neuron proliferation of neonatal rats at different doses. Methods 60 neonatal rats were divided into four groups among per litter by using a randomized block design. Three different doses of propofol group were induced with propofol 10 mg/kg( group P10) ,50 mg/kg( group P50) or 50 mg/kg twice( group P50D) by subcutaneous injection respectively. Neuron proliferation at dentate gyrus was detected by using BrdU marker 3 days later.Morris water maze test was carried out on postnatal day 28. Escape latency,time in probe quadrant were recorded.Results Compared to the control group,neuron marked with BrdU at dentate gyrus in group P50D was significantly decreased( (840±76) vs (225 ±66), P<0.05) ,group P10 was significantly increased( (840 ±76) vs ( 1225± 154), P<0.05). Compared to the control group,latency of group P50D was significantly increased( ( 15.12 ±3.43 ) s vs (42.68 ± 6. 18 ) s, P < 0. 05 ), time in probe quadrant of group P50D were significantly decreased ( ( 55.66 ± 8.57 ) s vs (32. 18 ± 5. 38 ) s, P< 0. 05 ). Compared to the control group, there was no significant difference between group P50 and group P10. Conclusion Propofol given to seven-day-old rats with 50 mg/kg twice by subcutaneous injection suppresses neuron proliferation and impairs development of memory and learning in neonatal rats,but propofol given with 10 mg/kg once promotes neuron proliferation.

Objective To study whether p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (p38MAPK) signal pathway were activated in the process of tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) which then induces rheumatoid arthritis (RA) fibroblast-like synoviocyte (FLS) to synthesize matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and look for the relative mechanisms of how TWEAK was involved in the destruction of articular bones and cartilage. Methods RA FLS were primarily cultured and stimulated with TWEAK. FLS were pretreated with SB203580 or not. ELISA was used to detect the concentration of MMP-1 in cell-cultured supernatant. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of p-p38MAPK and P65 in RA FLS. Results TWEAK (100 ng/ml) could induce RA FIS to synthesize MMP-1. SB203580 could partially inhibite the expression of MMP-1 producted by RA FLS which was induced by TWEAK. TWEAK could make p38MAPK phosphorylated and increase the expression of P65 protein in the cell nucleus. Conclusion TWEAK induces RA FLS to synthesize MMP-1. In this process, p38MAPK signal transduction pathway is activated and then induce the expression of NF-κB.
