Objective To evaluate the role of MLK3-MKK3/6-p38MAPK signal transduction pathway in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in rats. Methods Seventy-eight healthy adult male SD rats weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group (group C, n = 6), ALI group ( n =24), MLK3 inhibitor K252a group (group MK, n = 24) and p38MAPK specific inhibitor SB203580 group (group MS, n = 24). ALI was induced by iv injection of LPS 5 mg/kg via tail vein, while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group C. K252a 75 μg/kg and SB203580 10 mg/kg were injected intravenously via tail vein 30 min before LPS administration in group MK and MS respectively. The rats were killed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 h (T1-4) after LPS administration in group ALI, MK and MS (6 rats at each time point) and immediately after normal saline administration in group C. The lungs were removed for microscopic examination. The left lung was lavaged.The broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected. The concentration of TNF-α in the BALF was determined by ELISA. W/D lung weight ratio was calculated. The expression of p-MLK3, p-MKK3/6 and p-p38MAPK were determined by Western blot. Results The concentration of TNF-α in the BALF, W/D lung weight ratio, and expression of p-MLK3, p-MKK3/6 and p-p38MAPK were significantly higher in the other three groups than in group C (P < 0.01). The parameters mentioned above were significantly lower in group MK, and the concentration of TNF-α in the BALF, W/D lung weight ratio, and p-p38MAPK expression were significantly lower in group MS than in group ALI (P < 0.05). The microscopic examination showed that LPS-induced ALI was less severe in group MK and MS than in group ALI. Conclusion MLK3-MKK3/6-p38MAPK signal transduction pathway plays an important role in LPS-induced ALI in rats.

Objective To conduct a prospective phase Ⅱ clinical study to explore the distribution of CYP2D6 gene polymorphism in Chinese population and its relationship with the metabolism of tamoxifen in early-stage hormonal receptor-positive breast cancer. Methods CYP2D6 genotype was tested by Sanger sequencing using the ABI 3500 Genetic Analyzer. Plasma concentrations of tamoxifen and endoxifen were measured using the HPLC-MS/MS(API 2000)assay. We downloaded the data of CYP2D6 allele from the CPIP database. Results In Chi-nese patients,the most common alleles were CYP2D6*1,*2,and *10;the predominant diplotypes were *1/*10 (38.3%)and*10/*10(18.8%). The distribution of metabolic phenotype,plasma concentration of endoxifen,and endoxifen:tamoxifen plasma concentration ratio were inconsistent between the normal metabolic phenotype(EM) and the intermediate phenotype(IM)under different CYP2D6 activity prediction criteria.The differences in the ratios and endoxifen plasma concentrations were statistically significant between the three groups by cluster analysis. Conclusions The CYP2D6 genotype distribution in Chinese population is different from that in the Western popu-lation. There is considerable variation of serum endoxifen concentration in Chinese breast cancer patients possess-ing the phenotype previously known as the intermediate active metabolizers of CYP2D6. Therefore,in the current era of precision medicine,the standard CYP2D6 genotype-phenotype classification system cannot properly stratify the Chinese population with different levels of endoxifen plasma concentration.

Objective To investigate trend of dietary nutrient intake among adult females in China. Methods The changes of dietary energy and major nutrient intake among females aged 25 to 55 years in 9 provinces were analyzed by using the data from Chinese Health and Nutrition Survey,2000-2011 (CHNS) and indicators of Chinese Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) 2013. Results During the past decade,the proportion of females with the intake of energy and protein meeting the requirement of recommendation decreased,while the proportion of females with low carbohydrate(<50%energy)and high fat(>30%energy)intakes increased. Meanwhile,the vitamin and mineral intakes among the females were also unsatisfactory,only small proportion of the females met the requirement for micronutrient intake,and this proportion continued to decline. In 2011,the proportion of the females who met the requirements for energy and protein intakes were 43.0% and 54.4%,respectively;the proportion of the females with low carbohydrate and high fat intakes were 40.2%and 63.8%,respectively;the proportion of females who met the requirements for vitamin A, thiamine,riboflavin,niacin,vitamin C and vitamin E intakes were 25.2%,10.7%,6.9%,54.9%,24.3%and 88.5% respectively and the proportion of females who met the requirements for calcium, magnesium,iron,zinc and selenium intakes were 3.3%,23.6%,50.9%,75.7%and 13.3%respectively. Conclusion Further nutritional education and intervention is needed to improve nutrition status among Chinese females.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and drug resistance profiles of nucleosides (NA) retreatment in NA experienced chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. Methods Totally 104 NA experienced CHB subjects were enrolled in this study.All these subjects had received at least 3 months NA monotherapy and stopped the treatment,and then received NA retreatment for at least one year.The subjects were divided into three groups according to the following criteria:reached the therapy endpoint of China guideline when they stopped NA-naive treatment (group A,n =39); did not reach the therapy endpoint when they stopped NA-naive treatment but hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA<1.0× 103 copy/mL (group B,n=33); and with HBV DNA>1.0× 103 copy/mL (group C,n=32).The efficacy and drug resistance profiles of retreatment were compared among three groups. The effects of baseline alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels,HBV DNA levels and HBeAg titers on the retreatment efficacies were analyzed. The mutations of HBV P gene were detected by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing.The data were analyzd by Wilcoxon test and x2 test.Results The time to ALT normalization in patients with baseline ALT< 1.3 × upper limit normal (ULN) was shorter than that in patients with ALT≥1.3×ULN (2 months vs 4 months; Z=2.281,P=0.023).The time to virological response in patients with baseline HBV DNA<5 lg copy/mL was shorter than that in patients with HBV DNA≥5 lg copy/mL (1 month vs 2 months; Z=2.054,P =0.040). The time to virological response and ALT normalization in baseline HBeAg negative were both shorter than those in patients with baseline HBeAg positive patents ( 1 month vs 3 months and 2 months vs 4.5 months,respectively; Z=2.580 and 2.304,respectively; both P<0.05). The subjects in group A achieved virological response and HBeAg seroconversion after retreatment earlier compared to previous NA-naive therapy ([1.61 ± 1.76] months vs [3.48±4.066]months and [3.38 ± 3.34] months vs [9.92-11.22] months,respectively; Z=-2.854 and-1.094,respectively; both P<0.05).The cumulative HBeAg seroconversion rate in group A was higher compared to those in group B and group C (80.0% vs 36.8% and 37.5%,respectively; x2 =4.368 and 5.100,respectively; both P<0.05).Thirteen patients developed clinical resistance and four of them developed genotypic resistance proved by PCR direct sequencing.Among the patients retreated with the same regimen as previous in the C group,the cumulative resistance rate was highest compared to group A and B (44% vs 9% and 0,respectively; x2 =5.019 and 6.588,respectively;both P<0.05).No resistance was detected in the 14 patients retreated with combined NA treatment without cross resistance.Conclusions For NA experienced CHB patients who fulfill the indication of antiviral therapy,the retreatment should be started as earlier as possible. Retreatment with NA combination without cross resistance can prevent (reduce) the risk of developing drug resistance.
