Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2000;0(11):-
AIM: To observe the effect of heat shock protein 70(HSP70) expression induced by glutamine on Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharides(LPS)-induced vascular hyporeactivity in rats.METHODS: Twenty four healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into: the control group (n=8); LPS shock group (n=8); glutamine(Gln) treated group (Gln 0.75 g?kg-1 iv, n=8). 6 h after LPS shock, phenylephrine (PE, 0.5-2.5 ?g?kg-1 ) was applied intravenously to all groups and the percentage increase in mean arterial pressure(MAP) was detected, respectively. The concentration-response curves of aorta rings were obtained by cumulative addition of phenylephrine (PE), and PE Emax, EC50 were calculated. The blood concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA), TNF-? and IL-6 were assayed in all groups 30 min and 360 min after LPS shock, respectively. The expressions of HSP70 from heart and aorta were also assayed after 6 h LPS shock.RESULTS: The MAP level induced by PE significantly decreased by 51.4% in LPS shock group compared with the control (P

International Eye Science 2015;(5):793-795
?AlM:To compare the effect of iris location guided sub-bowman keratomileusis ( SBK ) and iris location guided thin - flap laser in situ keratomileusis ( LASlK ) for extremely high myopia treatment.
?METHODS:lris location guided SBK was performed in 64 eyes of 32 patients with extremely high myopia and 42 eyes of 84 patients were received iris location guided thin-flap LASlK. All the patients’ spherical refraction was-9. 00D ~ - 11. 00D and the age was 22 ~ 35 years. Uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA) , refraction, split-lamp examination, topography examination, central corneal stroma thickness, thickness of central corneal flap, thickness of peripheral corneal flap and complication was examined in these patients and follow-up was 6mo.
?RESULTS:At 6mo after surgery, 93. 8% of the patients received iris location guided SBK and 92. 9% received iris location guided thin-flap LASlK achieved a UCVA better than 20/20. There was no significant difference between two groups. Refraction between ±0. 5D was 89. 1% of SBK group and 84. 5% of LASlK group. There was no significant difference. Corneal rear surface height of SBK was 0. 046±0. 012μm and LASlK was 0. 056±0. 015μm. Thickness of corneal stroma after surgery was 328. 6±14. 7μm in SBK group, while it was 301. 2±21. 6μm in LASlK group and there was significant difference ( t =3. 127, P=0. 001). BUT was 11. 38±4. 02s and 17. 81±4. 89s in SBK and LASlK group respectively, with no statistical difference. There was no serious complication in two groups.?CONCLUTlON:Both iris location guided SBK and thin-flap LASlK are effective for extremely high myopia, but SBK is safer and more predictive than thin-flap LASlK.

OBJECTIVE:To study the correlation between RRM2 expression of cervical cancer cell line C33a and Siha and cell sensitivity to gemcitabine(Gem). METHODS:C33a and Siha were treated with 0.1-3.2 μmol/L and 0.5-512 μmol/L of gemcitabine respectively for 72 h;cell viability was measured by MTT assay to calculate the value of IC50. The expression of RRM2 was mea-sured by Western blot and RT-PCR. Siha cell was treated with gradient concentration and large dose of Gem to establish Siha/Gem drug-resistant cell line. RNA interference technology knockdown the expression of RRM2 in Siha/Gem cell,and IC50 of Gem to cell was determined before and after knockdown. RESULTS:The IC50 values of Gem to Siha and C33a were 16.8 μmol/L and 0.63μmol/L. Compared with C33a cells,the expression of RRM2 in Siha cell was higher. Compared with Siha cells,Siha/Gem drug-re-sistant cell(drug resistant index of 16.26)showed higher RRM2 expression. Siha/Gem drug-resistant cell knockdown RRM2,IC50 of Gem to it was decreased,and inverse drug resistant times was 4.24. CONCLUSIONS:There is an negative correlation between RRM2 expression and Gem sensitivity in cervical cancer cell lines. The knockdown of RRM2 in Siha/Gem increases the sensitivity to Gem.

Objective:Investigate the relation between the phosphorylation of FOXO1 and the apoptosis and the proliferation of lymphoma cells and to clarify its specific mechanism.Methods:The lymphoma cells Namalwa and Jurkat were treated with PI3K inhibitor wort mannin or etoposide or Wortmannin plus etoposide for different times-pan and at different concentration.The inhibition rates for cell growth of lymphoma cells were examined by XTT assay.Apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry.The expressions of p-Akt,p-FOXO1,FOXO1 and Bim were determined by Western blot analysis.Results:Wortmannin induced apoptosis of Jurkat cells and Namalwa cells and inhibited their survival effectively.The growth inhibition rate and the apoptosis rate of lymphoma cells induced by Wortmannin plus etoposide were higher than those induced by etoposide alone.After treated with Wortmannin,phosphorylation of FOXO1 remarkably reduced and bim markedly increased.Conclusion:The dephosphorylation of FOXO1 inhibits proliferation of Jurkat cells and Namalwa cells,promotes their apoptosis and enhanced the sensitivity of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma cells to etoposide.Bim activated by FOXO1 promotes cell apoptosis.

It remains controversial whether tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α antagonism is effective for asthma. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate efficacy of TNF-α antagonism in treatment of patients with asthma. MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, and CINAHL databases were searched for English-language studies published through January 3, 2010. Randomized-controlled trials comparing TNF-α antagonism with control therapy were selected. For each report, data were extracted in relation to the outcomes analyzed: asthma exacerbation, asthma quality of life questionnaire scores, and forced expiratory volume in 1 second. Four assessable trials were identified including 641 patients with asthma. TNF-α antagonism therapy was superior to control therapy in preventing exacerbations in asthmatics [pooled odds ratio 0.52 (95% confidence interval 0.29-0.88), P=0.02]; however, there was a nonsignificant reduction in asthma quality of life questionnaire scores [0.23 (0 to 0.47), P=0.05], forced expiratory volume in 1 second [0.03, (-0.14 to 0.10), P=0.74] when analyzed using standardized mean differences. TNF-α antagonism was superior to control chemotherapy in terms of asthma exacerbation, but not asthma quality of life questionnaire scores or forced expiratory volume in 1 second.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of eosinophilic lung disease.Methods Patients who were diagnosed with eosinophilic lung disease and hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University Hospital were retrospectively analyzed from January 2004 to August 2012.Data of etiology,clinical manifestation,imaging and pathological features,diagnosis and treatment were recorded.Results A total of 25 patients were diagnosed with eosinophilic lung disease including 9 chronic eosinophilic pneumonia,6 churg-strauss syndrome,and 10 cases of parasitic infection of which two patients were the simple pulmonary eosinophilia (L(o)ffler syndrome).Eosinophil counts in peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were increased.Arterial gas analysis showed varying degree of hypoxemia,which pulmonary function tests showed restrictive,obstructive,mixed ventilatory dysfunction.Chest CT showed bilateral flaky,streak or flake diffuse ground-glass infiltrates and reticular opacities.Results of pulmonary biopsy or skin biopsy identified diffuse eosinophil infiltration.Corticoidsteroid therapy alone or combined with immunosuppressive agents were both effective.Conclusion (1) Liver fluke and other food-borne parasites are the most common causes in eosinophilic lung disease; followed by unexplained chronic acidophilic granulocyte pneumonia; (2) In addition to histopathological evidence,the diagnosis of eosinophilic lung disease was made comprehensively based on clinical features,laboratory test,the BALF analysis,and imaging data.
