Objective:To explore the expression features of cytochrome C oxidase subunit Ⅰ (MT-CO1), BCL2 interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) and interleukin (IL)-1β in the liver of MRL/lpr lupus mice.Methods:The mRNA and protein levels of MT-CO1, BNIP3, IL-1β, p16 and p21 in lupus mice and control mice were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blot, the IL-1β expression site were detected by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemical method, and themalondialdehyde (MDA) was detected by colorimetry. Hepatocytes and macrophages were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), while hepatocytes were also cultured with supernatants obtained after macrophages stimulated with LPS, and the mRNA and protein levels of MT-CO1, BNIP3 and LC3B, as well as p16 and p21 expression, were determined by qPCR and Western blot. The expression of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) was detected by immunofluorescence. One way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the mean of each group, and LSD method was used to compare the means of multiple samples, and Tamhane's T2 method was used to compare the means of multiple samples when the variance was uniform. Results:The results of PCR showed that the mRNA levels of MT-CO1 and BNIP3 in the liver tissue of the lupus group (0.14±0.04; 0.16±0.05) were significantly lower than those of the control group (0.11±0.04; 0.16±0.06), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=7.16, P<0.001; t=4.54, P<0.001). The expression levels of IL-1β, p16 and p21 in the lupus group (2.06±0.69; 0.37±0.14; 0.16±0.06) were significantly higher than those of the control group (0.23±0.06; 0.25±0.08; 0.11±0.04) ( t=9.58, P<0.001; t=24.35, P<0.001; t=22.36, P<0.001). The results of Western blot were consistent with those of PCR. HE staining showed lymphocyte infiltration in the liver tissue of lupus mice, and immunohistochemistry showed IL-1β in the liver tissue of lupus mice. The positive cells were mainly concentrated in the sinusoids, and the expression of hepatic parenchymal cells was not rearkable. The content of MDA in liver tissue of the lupus group (0.19±0.10) was higher than that of the control group (0.17±0.09), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.33, P=0.005). LPS directly stimulated AML12 hepatocytes (0.069±0.028; 0.17±0.07). The PCR results showed that compared with the control group (0.176±0.072; 0.08±0.03), the expression of MT-CO1, and BNIP3 were not significantly different ( t=1.01, P=0.337; t=0.88, P=0.399). The expression of IL-1β was significantly higher when incubated with the supernatants of LPS stimulated macrophages (0.28±0.09) compared than that of the control group (0.15±0.05) ( t=28.26, P<0.001). The results of PCR showed that the mRNA levels of MT-CO1 and BNIP3 in the LPS stimulated group (0.046±0.026; 0.17±0.05) were significantly lower than those in the control group (0.143±0.083; 0.18±0.06), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=7.52, P<0.001; t=4.24, P<0.001), The expression of p16 and p21 in LPS stimulated group (0.29±0.09; 0.27±0.09) were significantly higher than those in the control group (0.18±0.06; 0.22±0.07) ( t=13.54, P<0.001; t=8.69, P<0.001). The results of Western blot were consistent with those of PCR. Immunofluorescence showed that the fluorescence intensity of mtROS in LPS stimulated group (0.25±0.10) was higher than that in the control group (0.08±0.03), and the difference was statistically significant ( t= 4.86, P<0.001). Conclusion:Immune-mediated inflammation in the liver tissue of lupus mice can stimulate liver parenchymal cells to cause intracellular mitochondrial dysfunction. However, the mechanism of liver organ damage in lupus mice is not limited to the immune-mediated inflammation of immune active cells, but also include parenchymal cell mitochondrial dysfunction.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of sweat conductivity testing in Chinese children with cystic fibrosis (CF). Methods This is a retrospective study. Sweat conductivity tests were conducted in 45 CF children (CF group) and 200 non‐CF children (non‐CF group) diagnosed with other chronic pulmonary diseases at the No. 2 Department of Respiratory Medicine, Beijing Children′s Hospital from May 2014 to June 2018. Pearson′s chi‐square test was used to assess the differences between CF and non‐CF groups. A receiver operating characteristic curve was constructed to calculate the best cut‐off value to diagnose or rule out CF. The pulmonary function parameters (forced expiratory volume in the first second, forced vital capacity,forced expiratory flows at 75% of exhaled vital capacity) of CF children over 6 years old were analyzed. The relationship between sweat conductivity and pulmonary function was compared between the two groups (80‐120mmol/L vs.>120mmol/L). Results The age of CF group was 9 (7, 12) years old, 19 males (42%) and 26 females(58%); the age of non‐CF group was 8 (5,11) years old, 106 males (53%) and 94 females(47%). The results of sweat conductivity test showed that sweat conductivity in CF group 108(99, 122) mmol/L was significantly higher than that in non‐CF group 43(36, 52) mmol/L (χ2=207, P<0.01). A cut‐off value of 80 mmol/L for CF diagnosis showed a sensitivity of 93.3% and a specificity of 98.5%. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis suggested the best conductivity cut‐off value for the diagnosis of CF was at 83.5 mmol/L,with a sensitivity of 93.3% and a specificity of 100%,and an area under the curve of 0.993 (95% confidence interval 0.985-1.000). The best conductivity cut‐off value to rule out CF diagnosis was at 63.5 mmol/L,with a sensitivity of 97.8% and a specificity of 90.5%. There was no correlation between the level of sweat conductivity and the extent of pulmonary function decline. Conclusions Sweat conductivity testing can be used for the screening of CF in Chinese children. A diagnosis of CF should be considered if the value is greater than 80 mmol/L.
