Objective To study the possible pathogenesis of TNBS (2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid)-induced inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in a mouse model by analyzing histological changes in colon and the expression of cytokines and transcription factor RORγt related to T cell subsets in mesenteric lymph nodes.Methods Female BALB/c mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly grouped into two groups: IBD model and normal control groups.The mouse model of IBD was established by treating mice with 200 μl of 5% TNBS/50% ethanol solution (1∶1) through intestinal instillation, while the mice in the normal control group were instilled with PBS.Pathological changes in colon samples of mice were observed.Real-time PCR was performed to detect the dynamic expression of Th1 cytokines (IL-2, IFN-γ and IL-12p40), Th2 cytokine (IL-4), Treg-related cytokine (IL-10), Th17 cell-related cytokines (IL-17, IL-21 and IL-23) and transcription factor RORγt in mesenteric lymph nodes.Results The mice in the model group begun to show abnormal vital signs such as diarrhea, loss of weight and reduced activity, and mild hyperemia of intestinal mucosa and edema from the third day after modeling.Slight lesions were observed in histological slices of colon tissues stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE).The expression of IL-21, IL-23 and IL-17 at mRNA level were significantly increased, while the expression of other cytokines showed no significant change.On the sixth day after modeling, many pathological symptoms and intestinal mucosal lesions were aggravated, and marked infiltration of inflammatory cells was observed in histological slices of colon tissues, which indicated that the IBD model was successfully induced by TNBS.Compared with the control group, the IBD model group showed significantly enhanced expression of IL-2, IL-12p40 and IL-10 in mesenteric lymph nodes at mRNA level on the sixth day after modeling.Although the expression of IL-21, IL-23, IL-17 and RORγt at mRNA level on the sixth day were down-regulated to different extent as compared with those on the third day, they were still significantly higher than those of the control group.Conclusion Th17 cell-related cytokines play an important role in the early stage of TNBS-induced IBD.With the progression of the disease, both Th1 and Th17 cells are involved in the immunopathological injury of colon tissues.

Objective To investigate the effects of remffentanil pretreatment on myocardial ischemiareperfusion (I/R) injury in rabbits. Methods Thirty healthy rabbits, aged 12-18 months, weighing 2.5-3.5 kg,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 10 each): I/R group, low-dose remifentanil pretreatment group (group R1 ) and high-dose remifentanil pretreatment group (group R2 ). Myocardial I/R was induced by ligation of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery for 30 min followed by 6 h of reperfusion in the 3 groups. Remifentanil was infused intavenously at 1.65 and 3.30 μg· kg - 1 · min- 1 for 30 min before ischemia in group R1 and R2 respectively, while equal volume of normal saline was infused instead in group I/R. Blood samples were taken for determination of serum cardiac troponin-Ⅰ (cTnI) and creatine kinase-MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) concentrations before administration (baseline), after administration, at 30 min of ischemia and at 6 h of reperfusion. The rabbits were then sacrificed and hearts removed. Myocardial tissues were obtained for microscopic examination. Results Serum cTnI and CK-MB concentrations were significantly lower in group R1 and R2 than in group I/R and serum cTnI concentration lower in group R2 than in group R1 ( P < 0.01). Remifentanil infusion significantly attenuated the pathologic changes in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion Remifentanil pretreatment provides protective effect against myocardial I/R injury in rabbits and it is related to the dose.

BACKGROUND:Hyperbaric oxygen(HBO)treatment promotes the proliferation and differentiation of endogenous neural stem cells in neonatal rats following hypoxic/ischemic brain damage(HIBD).The Wnt signaling pathway is associated with neurogenesis.However,there are few data recording the role of HBO in the differentiation of neural stem cells in vitro.OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of HBO on differentiation and Wnt3 expression of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs).METHODS:BMSCs were isoiated and cultured.The rat BMSCs of passages 3-5 were cultured in DMEM/F12(1:1)medium with basic fibroblast growth factor,epidermal growth factor and B27 for 24 hours.The induced BMSCs were randomly divided into two groups:control group(no treatment)and HBO group(HBO,0.10 MPa,60 minutes stabilizing pressure with at least 90% oxygen).The neuron specific encloase(NSE),glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP)and 04 marked oligodendrocyte immunocytochemistry were detected by immunofluorescent staining,and Wnt3 protein expression was detected by Western-blot.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:BMSCs cultured in classic medium of neural stem cells could significantly induce the expression of nestin.The expression of NSE and 04 of HBO group was greater than control group(P<0.01),but GFAP expression displayed no significant difference between the groups(P>0.05).Western blot showed HBO could enhance the Writ3 expression (P<0.05).Results show that HBO can induce BMSCs to differentiate into neural cells and oligodendrocyte,which is correlated with the activation of the Wnt3 protein.

AIM: To explore the influence of different concentration midazolam on the macroscopic voltage gated potassium currents and to discuss the relationship between potassium currents and inhibitory effect of clinical relevant concentration midazolam on sympathetic nervous system. METHODS: Superior sympathetic ganglion neurons were dissociated enzymatically from 7 to10 day old rat. Experiments were performed about 5 h after plating at room temperature (20- 24 ℃ ). Appropriate solution was chosen to separate the K + current from the other transmembrane currents. 1 ?mol?L -1 TTX was applied to the extracelluar solution to block the Na + current. Midazolam was also resolved in extracelluar solution to get various concentration ( 0.1 , 0.3 ,3,10,50,100 ?mol?L -1 ). Currents were recorded with the patch clamp technique in whole cell configuration using glass electrodes with a tip resistance of 2- 4 M . Potassium currents were evoked by test pulse from -100 mV to +30 mV with holding potential -80mV. Data were analyzed using Clampfit 6.0 and Oringih 5.0 software. Whole cell current records were corrected for leakage and capacitance by using the P/5 protocol. RESULTS: Midazolam dose dependently inhibited the whole cell potassium currents. Clinical relevant concentration midazolam ( 0.3 ?mol?L -1 ) only reduced the peak currents by 3.89 %(P= 0.88 ). The concentration required to produce 50% current inhibition(IC 50 ) was 76.065 ?mol?L -1 . CONCLUSION: Midazolam inhibits the whole cell potassium current significantly and dose dependently, but clinical relevant concentration midazolam has minor effect on the potassium currents, indicating that the inhibitory effect of midazolam on potassium current is not related to the suppression of activity of sympathetic system.
