Objective To investigate the effects of exogenous pulmonary surfactant(PS)on the inflammatory response in rats with ventilator-induced lung injury(VILI).Methods Twenty-eight adult male Wistar rats weighing 310-388 g were randomly divided into 4 groups(n =7 each):normal control group(group C),group VILI,group PS and air control group(group A).VILI was produced by high-pressure ventilation(HPV)with peak inspiratory pressure(PIP)40 cm H2 O,respiratory rate(RR)20 hpm and without positive end-expiratory pressure(PEEP)for 20 min.The rats were sacrificed by exsanguination immediately after anesthesia and after VILI in groups C and VILI,respectively.In groups PS and A,PS 100 mg/kg(50 mg/ml)and the equal volume of air were injected into the trachea via the airway after the tracheal edema fluid was removed respectively,and the rats were mechanically ventilated(Vr 10 ml/kg,RR 45 bpm and PEEP 7.5 cmH2O)for 120 min and then sacrificed by exsanguination.The blood samples were taken from femoral artery for determination of the plasma levels of IL-6,IL-10,MIP-2 and TNF-α by ELISA.The tracheal edema fluid was collected to determine the protein concentration by Bradford method.The lungs were removed for microscopic examination and the number of neutrophils was counted under microscope.Results There was no significant difference in the plasma levels of TNF-α among the four groups(P > 0.05).Compared to group C,the plasma levels of MIP-2,IL-10 and IL-6 were significantly increased and the number of neutrophils was significantly enlarged in group VILI(P < 0.05).The number of neutrophils was significantly smaller in group PS than in group A(P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in the plasma levels of MIP-2,IL-10 and IL-6 between groups PS and A(P > 0.05).The inflammatory damage in lung tissues was observed obviously in groups VILI,A and PS.Conclusion When exogenous PS is used to treat the rats with VILI,PS reduces neutrophil recruitment,but can not inhibit the release of inflammatory cytokines.

Objective To evaluate the usefulness of MR imaging in follow-up of osteosarcomas treated with high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). Methods The images of nonenhanced and multiphase gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging before and after HIFU treatment in 16 patients with osteosarcomas pathologically confirmed were interpreted prospectively and correlated with the results of ~ 99mTc-MDP bone scan. Results The results of HIFU in 14 osteosarcomas were evaluated correctly. Before HIFU, 16 osteosarcomas demonstrated hypointensity on T1WI and heterogenous hyperintensity on T2WI and obvious enhancement during capillary and delayed phases and abnormal radioactivity accumulation were detected.One to Four weeks after HIFU treatment, the osteosarcomas became slightly hyperintense on T1WI and heterogenously hyperintense on T2WI, and no enhancement during capillary and delayed phase was noted. There was a clear boundary presenting between the targeted and untreated areas, and abnormal radioactivity accumulation disappeared. Both the signal intensity on T2WI and the tumor size reduced gradually after HIFU treatment 3 to 25 months. Conclusion HIFU is an effective local therapy for osteosarcomas, and MRI can accurately evaluate the efficacy of HIFU.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between syndrome differentiation types and the objective indexes of fatty liver.MethodsA cross-sectional study was adopted. Clinical observation table of fatty liver for TCM diagnostic performance was used to collect the data of patients and cluster analysis was adopted for syndrome differentiation. The difference of the objective indexes among different syndromes was studied.ResultsFatty liver showed more severity in spleen Qi deficiency and dampness group compared with heart and liver yin deficiency group(χ2=8.218,P=0.041). Patients in the spleen and stomach Qi deficiency group had less smoking history(χ2=8.416,P=0.038). Patients in the spleen Qi deficiency and dampness group had higher AST, TP, ALP and WHR indexes and lower Alb.ConclusionsDifferences of objective indexes in different fatty liver syndromes can be used for enriching syndrome differentiation contents, and provide the basis for microcosmic syndrome differentiation of fatty liver.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of sorafenib on hepatic stellate cell viability and activation in the microenvironment of liver tumor.Methods The effects of LX2 cells on HepG2 cell proliferation were observed by coculture of LX2 and HepG2 cells.MTT assay was used to observe the effects of sorafenib on LX2 proliferation,and expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) was measured immunocytochemically in LX2 cells treated with different concentrations of sorafenib.Changes in PDGF-BB and TGF-β1 concentrations were detected in LX2 supernatant using ELISA.Expression of ERK1,ERK2,and AKT signaling pathways were measured using Western blot.Furthermore,LX2 cells were cocultured with HepG2 cells for 24 hours to observe their effects on the invasive ability of HepG2 cells.Result After coculture of LX2 and HepG2 cells,HepG2 cells increased in the experimental group more than those of in the control group.After treatment with various concentrations of sorafenib for 12,24,36 or 48 hours,the viability of treated LX2 cells was lower than the controls in a concentration-and time-dependent manner.As sorafenib concentration and time of exposure increased,α-SMA expression became weaker in treated cells.PDGF-BB and TGF-β1 concentrations decreased with higher sorafenib concentrations and with longer exposure under the same concentration.ERK1,ERK2 and Akt expression was identical between treated and control groups,but their phosphorylated expression decreased with increased concentrations of sorafenib.The invasive ability of HepG2 cells induced by LX2 gradually decreased as sorafenib concentrations increased.Conclusions Sorafenib suppressed α-SMA expression,inhibited PDGF-dependent signaling pathways in HSCs,downregulated PDGF-BB and TGF β1 expression in the supernatant of HSCs,and restrained the viability and activation of HSCs.Sorafenib treatment therefore resulted in suppressed proliferation and invasion of HepG2 cells.
