Objective To explore the effect of relative warm ischemia (RWI) on bile nature and component in rats self-liver transplantation.Methods Thirty two rats were randomly divided into group Ⅰ (control group),group Ⅱ (RWI 0 min),group Ⅲ (RWI 30 min),and group Ⅳ (RWI 60 min).The levels of bile phospholipids (PL),total bile acids (TBA),and PL/TBA ratio were detected early after self-liver transplantation.The concentration changes of hydrophilic and hydrophobic bile acids were examined.Results Only PL concentration of group Ⅱ seemed to be lower than that of group Ⅰ (P ＜ 0.05),without any change for other indexes.Compared with group Ⅱ,only the PL and TBA concentrations of the group Ⅲ were decreased significantly (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant difference was found between two groups on PL/TBA ratio and mole fractions of bile acids (P ＞ 0.05).Compared to group Ⅱ,the concentrations of PL and TBA,PL/TBA ratio,and the mole fraction of taurocholic-β-mouse acid (T-β-MC) were much lower in group Ⅳ (P ＜ 0.05),and the mole fraction of taurocholic acid (TC) were higher in group Ⅳ (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions RWI caused changes of PL/TBA ratio,hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of bile early after liver transplantation,and the changes were directly proportional to the RWI time.The property of bile in early transplantation seemed not to be changed when the relative warm ischemia time was less than 30 min.When the RWI time was longer than 60 min,the bile component was changed obviously and the toxicity was increased.In liver transplantation,arterial anastomosis should be completed as soon as possible,and the RWI time should be less than 30 min.

OBJECTIVE:To study the bioequivalence of Alendronate Sodium Tablets in healthy volunteers. METHODS:According to a paired and cross-over design,a bioequivalence test was performed on two different alendronate sodium tablets,10 mg (Group 1) and 70 mg (Group 2). Then each group was subdivided into two groups,i.e. test preparation and reference preparation. The urine concentrations of alendronate at different time point within 48 h were determined by HPLC and the urine excretion rate -time curve was drawn,and the DAS software was used to compute the pharmacokinetic parameters and the relative bioavailability of the tested formulation. RESULTS:The 90% confidence intervals of urine excretion rate of the tested formulations were 82.4% ～122.6% (Group 1) and 85.4% ～124.6% (Group 2),respectively and the maximum excretory rates were 80.3% ～131.5% (Group 1) and 82.3～136.5% (Group 2),respectively,compared with the reference formulations. CONCLUSION:The two different Alendronate Sodium Tablets and their respective reference formulations were proved to be bioequivalent in healthy volunteers.

Objective To study the impact of precipitation and water level on acute schistosomiasis for providing reference to control acute schistosomiasis in advance. Methods The historical data on precipitation and water level as well as acute schistosomiasis from 2003 to 2007 in Eastern, Southern and Western Dongting Lake regions were collected and analysed for the correlation between acute schistosomiasis and precipitation and water level in local areas. Results Acute schistosomiasis gradually decreased year by year from 2003 to 2007. Compared with 2003, the number of acute schistosomiasis in 2007 reduced by 95.37%. There was no outbreak of acute schistosomiasis from 2005 to 2007.In the period of peak acute schistosomiasis, the average monthly rainfall reduced from year to year for the successive 5 years. There was a significantly correlation between acute schistosomiasis and monthly average water level. Conclusions The acute schistosomiasis is directly affected by nature factors and has a close correlation with the rainfall and water level in Dongting Lake regions.

Objective To comparatively study the ischemia-reperfusion injuries caused by heterogeneity of different positions of the biliary system and different construction patterns of the peribiliary vascular plexus. Methods Thirty rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: Group Ⅰ , sham operated; Group Ⅱ , 1h ischemia in biliary tract followed by 1h reperfusion; Group Ⅲ, 1h ischemia in biliary tract followed by 2h reperfusion. TUNEL assay, pathomorphology score determination and ultrastructural quantitative analysis were performed on epithelium of the hilar bile duct, proximal common bile duct and interlobular bile duct. Results In groupⅡ , TUNEL assay and pathomorphology score showed no statistical difference between proximal common bile duct and interlobular bile duct (P＞0.05) but showed significant differences in the hilar bile duct(P＜0.05). Mean volume (V) of mitochondria and area density of microvilli were obviously serious in the hilar bile duct but obviously slight in the proximal common bile duct(P＜0. 05). In group Ⅲ, the results of the above detections showed that the most severe was in hilar bile duct, followed by the interlobular bile duct and proximal common bile duct(P＜0. 05). Conclusion Different injuries in various parts of the biliary system are caused by heterogeneity of biliary epithelial cells and construction patterns of the peribiliary vascular plexus. It also provides the experimental basis to explain the higher incidences of hilar bile duct stricture. It could be taken as the best position when the bile duct is anastomosed.

BACKGROUND: Studieshave shown that long time of warm ischemia or cold preservation would injury the biliary tract in liver transplantation. However, whether relative warm ischemia (RWI) of biliary tract would result in bile component changes is unclearly. OBJECTIVE: To establish auto-liver transplantation bile ducts RWI models, observe the effects of RWI on the bile salts and phospholipid concentration secreted by the donor liver, and to study the correlation between the total bile salt/phosphoUpid ratio (TBA, PL ratio) and billary tract injury. METHODS: A total of 32 SD rats were selected for auto-liver transplantation models with bile ducts RWI, and the rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=8). In Group Ⅰ (sham operation group), rats only received liver dissociation without any cold reperfusion. The RWI time of Group Ⅱ,Ⅲ, and Ⅳ were 0 minutes, 30 minutes and 60 minutes, respectively. The concentration of TBA in bile was measured with enzymatic cycling assay, andPL with enzymic colorimetric. Pathological observation with light microscope and ultrastructural observation with transmission electron microscope were performed on the hilar bile duct. The endothelial cell apoptosis was detected with TUNEL assay. The correlation between TBA, PL ratio and biliary injury was analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: One rat died, the other 31 rats were included in the final analysis. RWI could change the composition of bile secreted by donor liver, raise the TBA/PL ratio, and increase the bile toxicity. These changes had a positive correlation to RWI time, and the changes were obviously with time prolonged. In addition, the changes are closely related to the biliary tract injury. This study shows an important mechanism of the biliary tract injury caused by RWI-injury.

Objective To analyze the association of staphylococcal nuclease domain-containing protein 1(SND1) and T-cell intracellular antigen 1(TIA-1) on stress granules, and the regulation of SND1 on stress granules under stress stimuli. Methods The immunofluorescence assay and laser scanning confocal microscopy were used to observe the co-localization of SND1 protein and TIA-1 protein under stress stimuli, and the over-expression plasmids of pEGFP vector were transfected into HeLa cells and to verify which domain of SND1 co-localized with TIA-1 under stress stimuli. RNA interference-mediated knockdown of the expression of SND1 protein in HeLa cells was measured by Western Blotting assay. Then whether the knockdown of SND1 affected the recruitment of TIA-1 on stress granules was observed. Heat shocks under different times were used to identify whether there were dynamic changes in transportation of SND1 and TIA-1 on stress granules. Results SND1 co-localized with TIA-1 on stress granules under stress stimuli, and the associated domain of SND1 were SN domain. TIA-1 still can be recruited on stress granules but a large amount of stress granules were reduced even though the expression of SND1 protein was decreased. And the transportation of SND1 on stress granules was laged behind TIA-1 under different-times of heat shocks. Conclusion SND1 protein co-localizes with TIA-1 on stress granules, and which co-regulates the cellular stress response under stress stimuli.

Objective To investigate the relationship between interleukin (IL)-34 and bone erosions in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients.Methods Forty PsA patients,20 psoriasis (Ps) patients and 20 healthy volunteers were recruited into this study.The levels of IL-34 and osteoclast related cytokines [including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α,receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL),osteoclast precursors (OPG)] were detected in the serum samples of all subjects.The correlations among IL-34,the number of osteoclast precursors (OCP),disease activity and imaging scores were analyzed.All data were analyzed by graphpad prism 6.Differences between groups was analyzed with One-way analysis of variance,q tests,and Spearman's correlation was used to explore the relation between disease activity/radiographic scores and laboratory results and followed by linear regressions.Results The serum level of IL-34 in patients with PsA [(328±476) pg/ml] was higher than that in Ps [(33±52) pg/ml,q =3.92,P＜0.01] and healthy controls [(32±32) pg/ml,q =3.93,P＜0.01],the erosive PsA group were higher than the non-erosive PsA group [(449±527) pg/ml and (47±24) pg/ml,q=4.04,P＜0.01].The levels of TNF-α,RANKL and OCP in patients with PsA [(125±79) pg/ml,(488± 475) pg/ml and (17.7±4.8) 5 sigh views] were higher than those in PS [(40±22) pg/ml,(26±3) pg/ml and (5.2± 0.8),q=7.32,6.14 and 2.94,P＜0.01] and healthy controls [(41±19) pg/ml,(65±8) pg/ml and (6.2±1.8),q=6.67,5.62 and 2.71,P＜0.01],whereas the OPG/RANKL ratio in PsA patients (0.5±0.4) was significantly lower than Ps patients (4.3±2.7,q=-3.30,P＜0.01) and healthy controls (1.8±0.6,q=-1.72,P＜0.01).IL-34,TNF-α and RANKL levels were all positively correlated with OCP (r=0.10,P＜0.05;r=0.12,P＜0.05;r=0.13,P＜0.(5,respectively).Conclusion The level of IL-34 is not only high in patients with PsA but also positively correlates with the number of OCP.In PsA,IL-34 is probably related to the OCP and osteoclast differentiation,and further participates in the process of bone destruction.Therefore,IL-34 is promising to become a new target or alternative choice for the treatment of PsA.
