Objective To explore the role of salidroside in HIRI and its related mechanism. MethodsA total of 90 male SD rats were randomly divided into the sham group, the model group, the low, medium and high dose group, 18 rats in each group. The low, medium and high dose group rats were injected with 7.5, 15, 30 mg/kg salidroside solution, and the sham group and model group were injected with saline in the same volume, one time per day. After 7 days, all the rats were set up with the model of IR except the rats in Sham groups. The AST and ALT of serum, contrast between groups liver tissue by Optical microscope with HE dyeing at 4, 8, 16 h after reperfusion. Western Blot was used to detect the expression of protein of MAPK, JNK, ERK and NF-κB.ResultsFour, 8, 16 h after reperfusion, the level of ALT (540.67 ± 15.91 U/L vs.697.67 ± 5.98 U/L, 307.50 ± 12.97 U/L vs.962.50 ± 17.63 U/L, 103.33 ± 3.95 U/L vs.198.17 ± 9.73 U/L) and AST (651.17 ± 7.39 U/L vs.944.67 ± 11.38 U/L, 415.50 ± 10.97 U/L vs.1561.83 ± 15.76 U/L, 168.33 ± 5.81 U/L vs. 280.33 ± 12.35 U/L) in the high dose group were significantly lower than those in the model group. Eight and 16 hours after reperfusion, the expression of MAPK (1.28 ± 0.19 vs. 2.10 ± 0.12, 1.64 ± 0.14 vs.1.89 ± 0.14), JNK (1.80 ± 0.10 vs. 2.42 ± 0.11, 0.84 ± 0.17 vs. 3.32 ± 0.19), ERK (2.43 ± 0.10 vs.5.95 ± 0.09, 2.07 ± 0.13 vs. 6.61 ± 0.14), NF-κB (2.32 ± 0.16 vs. 3.08 ± 0.10, 2.11 ± 0.13 vs. 2.74 ± 0.17) in the high dose group were significantly lower than the model group (P<0.05).Conclusions The salidroside could reduce the liver ischemia- reperfusion injury, and its mechanisms may rugulate the MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathways.

Objective To investigate the factors implicated in the outcomes of patients with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA).Methods During a 5-year period,65 patients with IPA met the criteria set by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Mycoses Study Group (EORTC/MSG)in 2008 were retrospectively evaluated. The initial CT findings of eligible patients were reviewed by two senior radiologists who specialized in chest radiology.Patients were divided into the survivor (n =43 ) and non-survivor (n =22) groups according to their survival as long as 3 months after the diagnosis of IPA was made.An initial univariate analysis was used to screen variables that were related to prognosis,followed by a multivariate logistic regression analysis to examine these variables. Results Of the 65 IPA patients analyzed,23 (35%) had a proven diagnosis and 42 (65%) were probable ones.The univariate analysis showed that the rates of extra-pulmonary infection,uncontrolled underlying diseases and invasive mechanical ventilation were significantly different between the 3-month survival group and the non-survival group ( P <0.05,respectively),whereas chest CT findings,including air-space consolidation/massive consolidation,macronodules,infarct-like macronodules,halo signs, ground-glass opacities,small nodules,hypodense signs,cavities,crescent signs,small-airway findings,bronchial wall thickening/bronchiectasis,pleural effusion and hydro-pericardium, were not significantly different between the two groups (P > O.05,respectively).Logistic regression analysis revealed that an uncontrolled underlying disease was the only independent predictor of 3-month mortality in patients with IPA (P =0.001,OR:O.024,95 % CI:O.003 ~0.223,B =- 3.714,SE =1.129,Wald =10.821 ). Conclusions An uncontrolled co-morbidity was the only independent predictor of mortality within 3 months in patients with IPA.The initial CT findings did not confer any informatioin of implication in predicting the outcomes of IPA patients.

Objective:To compare the repair effects of three kinds of treatment methods included synovial mesenchymal stem cells(SMSCs),platelet rich plasma(PRP)and the combination of them with knee joint cavity injection on cartilage injury of rabbit.Methods:A total of 24 New Zealand rabbits were selected to establish a cartilage injury model of knee joint by using surgery in knee joint of them.The rabbits with cartilage injury model were divided into four groups using a random number table method,which included blank group,single SMSCs with joint cavity injection group(SMSCs group),PRP with joint cavity injection group(PRP group)and the combination of SMSCs and PRP with joint cavity injection group(SMSCs+PRP group),with 6 rabbits in each group.The synovium of four groups of rabbits were scraped off their joints to conduct in vitro culture of SMSCs,as well as the morphological observation and identification of SMSCs.The venous bloods of rabbits were extracted to prepare PRP by centrifugation.The contents of PRP,platelet and growth factor in blood were compared.The SMSCs and PRP were injected into the knee joint cavity of three groups of rabbits with model.After 2,4 and 6 weeks of injection treatment,the repair statuses of cartilages at defection area of different groups were evaluated according to cartilage repair scoring table of International Association for Cartilage Repair(ICRS).Results:The primary synovial cells of rabbit knee joint synovium were initially round in shape after isolation,but almost all of them were spindle shaped after passage.The positive detection rates of SMSCs surface antigen CD73,CD90 and CD105 of 4 group were respectively 100%,99.22%and 99.99%.The CD45 detection was 0.5%,which indicated that they possessed the property of stem cell.The platelet count of 4 groups showed that the platelet concentration in PRP was approximate 6 times of that in whole blood.The concentrations of platelet derived growth factor(PDGF),transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)were respectively(569.15±57.48)ng/mL,(633.56±63.90)ng/mL and(1 243.55±106.04)ng/mL in PRP,which were approximately 5 times,6 times and 7 times of that in whole blood,respectively.After 2 weeks of injection treatment for joint cavity,there was no significant statistical difference in the scores of cartilage repair among 4 groups(P>0.05).At 4 and 6 weeks of injection treatment,the morphological and histological score of cartilage repair of the SMSCs+PRP group were significantly higher than those of the blank group,and the differences were significant(t4 week=6.35,9.15,t6 week=8.16,8.60,P<0.05),respectively.Conclusion:The repair effect of SMSCs combined with PRP on cartilage injury of rabbit is significantly better than that of single PRP and single SMSCs,respectively,and all of them are better than those without treatment.SMSCs combined with PRP can significantly improve the effect of self-repair of cartilage injury.

Objective To research the effect and autophagy in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury based on relevant indicators of the specimens of rat liver which ischemia reperfusion model by salidroside pretreatment. Methods A total of 90 male SD rats were randomly divided into the sham group, the model group, the low, medium and high dose group, 18 rats in each group. The low, medium and high dose group rats were treated with 7.5, 15, 30 mg/kg salidroside solution by gavage, and the sham group and model group and model group were filled with saline in the same volume,one time per day. After 7 days, all the rats were set up with the model of IR except the rats in sham groups. The AST and ALT of serum, contrast between groups liver tissue by Optical microscope with HE dyeing at 4, 8, 16 h after reperfusion. Western Blot was used to detect the expression of protein of LC3 and Beclin-1. The number and morphology of autophagy in each group of liver cells were observed by electron microscopy. Results After reperfusion 4, 8, 16 h, the level of ALT (662.36 ± 5.82 U/L vs. 983.67 ± 8.96 U/L, 436.49 ± 12.93 U/L vs. 1536 ± 10.77 U/L, 168.61 ± 8.34 U/L vs. 280.42 ± 17.37 U/L) of the high dose group weresignificantly lower than the model group, and the AST (513.29 ± 11.74 U/L vs. 656.38 ± 7.67 U/L, 276.29 ± 9.21 U/L vs. 930.19 ± 15.62 U/L, 97.83 ± 4.29 U/L vs. 211.23 ± 7.87 U/L) of the high dose group were significantly lower than the model group. After reperfusion 8, 16 h, the expression of LC3-Ⅱ (1.21 ± 0.16 vs. 1.91 ± 0.12, 2.00 ± 0.14 vs. 1.09 ± 0.11) in the high dose group were significantly lower than the model group, and the results were same to Beclin1 (3.53 ± 0.19 vs. 7.15 ± 0.14, 2.65 ± 0.27 vs. 7.60 ± 0.21) (P<0.05). After reperfusion 8 h, the number of autophagosome (3.24 ± 0.62 vs.7.84 ± 0.45) in the high dose group were significantly lower than the model group (P<0.05). Conclusions The hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury was serious, and inhibiting autophagy was one of possible mechanisms to protect liver cells by salidroside.
