Objective To study the expression of phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3-K) and its relationship with lung cell apoptosis in rats with acute lung injury induced by oleic acid. Methods 60 healthy male SD rats were divided into 5 groups randomly, with 12 rats for each group. 0.25ml/kg oleic was injected into the tail vein in 4 oleic groups in which the rats were respectively sacrificed after 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h and 24h by exsanguination. In the control group 0.25ml/kg of saline was injected intravenously and sacrificed 2h later. Arterial blood gas, left lung wet/dry ratio, lung index, protein content of BALF, and pulmonary permeability index (PPI) were determined. Fas-L expression of lung tissue was determined by immunohistochemical method and protein expression of PI3-K was determined by Western blot and immunohistochemical method. Results PaO_2 was lowered, and left lung wet/dry ratio, lung index, and protein content of BALF and PPI were increased obviously after oleic acid injection. Fas-L and PI3-K in bronchus epithelial cells, alveolar epithelial cells, pulmonary vessel endothelial cells and macrophage cells were highly expressed in the lung of ALI rats, and peak value of PI3-K appeared earlier than Fas-L. Conclusion Fas-L related apoptosis of bronchial epithelial cells, alveolar epithelial cells, pulmonary vessel endothelial cells and macrophage cells participated in the pathogenesis of earlier period of ALI through PI3-K transduction pathway.

Objective The effects of dexamethasone on cell signal transaction system ERK and PI3-K were studied in acute lung injury (ALI) rat in order to provide a theoretical basis for clinical treatment. Methods 36 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, 12 rats for each group: injured group, dexamethasone treated group and control group. 0.25ml/kg oleic acid was injected via caudal venous into each animal in the former two groups to form ALI models. Then, for dexamethasone treated group, each animal received 1.0mg/kg of dexamethasone 15 min after oleic acid injection; the same amount of saline was given to the animals in injured group, and the animals in control group were injected the same amount of saline at the last two times. All animals were killed by common carotid artery bleeding 2 hours after the last injection. The indexes of PaO2, wet/dry weight of left lung, pulmonary permeability and lung pathology were investigated. The expression of PI3-K, ERK and P-ERK were determined by Western blot and immunohistochemical method. Results PaO2 declined in the animals of injured group, while left lung wet/dry ratio and pulmonary permeability increased obviously, and pulmonary edema and transparent film were observed in injured lung pathology. Compared to injured group, those indexes were improved in dexamethasone treated group. PI3-K, ERK and P-ERK were highly expressed in bronchus epithelial cells, alveolar epithelial cells, pulmonary vessel endothelial cells and macrophage cells of the animals in injured group, the expression of PI3-K, ERK and P-ERK were reduced in dexamethasone group, but the expression in the both groups were still higher than that in control group. Conclusions The higher expression of PI3-K and ERK were involved in the regulation of earlier period of ALI, and dexamethasone may improve ALI by repressing the high expression of PI3-K and ERK.

AIM: To investigate neutrophil(PMN) apoptosis in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) in the course of acute lung injury(ALI). METHODS: A rat model of ALI was established by the "two-hit" method,acid instillation and subsequent lipopolysaccharide challenge. At different time,PMN from the BALF and normal peripheral blood were incubated in BALF from normal rats or rats with ALI.PMN apoptosis was determined by flow cytometric analysis of annexin V binding, and interleukin-1?(IL-1?) mRNA was measured in PMN by PCR. RESULTS: Incubated with BALF from ALI ,PMN apoptosis was delayed with elevated expression of IL-1?, and there was a significant negative correlation between the percentage of apoptotic PMN and IL-1? level. CONCLUSION: Neutrophil apoptosis is delayed during ALI, which might have relevance to elevated expression of IL-1?.

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of fluticasone propionate ointment in the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris. Methods A randomized comparative clinical observation was performed in 68 patients with pso-riasis vulgaris, they were divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group of 34 cases was treated with fluticasone propionate ointment and the control group of 34 cases with kenacort-A ointment. The response was evaluated at 6 weeks. Results The total effective rate of the experimental group was 94.1% and 70.6% in the control group after 6 weeks. There was a significant difference between the two groups in treatment effective rate(P<0.01). Conclusion It is effective and safety for fluticasone propionate ointment in the treatment of psoriasis vulgar-is.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are present in the peripheral blood,and play an important role in the recurrence and metastasis of lung cancer.As the researches about CTCs and targeted therapy move along,it is found that CTCs can be used as a liquid tumor tissue to guide clinical treatment and have a certain significance in the clinical staging and prognosis evaluation of lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the expression and distribution of STAT3 in the retina during the early development of postnatal hamster. Methods Immunocytochemical method and Western blot analysis were used. Results The expression of STAT3 was found in all layers of the retina in all newborn hamsters,most pronounced in the ganglion cell layer(GCL),the inner plexiform layer(IPL)and the inner area of neuroblastic layer(NBL).With the development,the STAT3 immunoreactivity was gradually restricted in the cytoplasm and the nucleus of the retinal ganglion cells.The result of the Western blot showed that the STAT3 was highly expressed in the first week of postnatal development and then reduced gradually till the lowest point in the adulthood.Conclusion The expression of STAT3 protein may be closely related to the early development of the retina in the postnatal hamster.

31 patients from Anhui province maternal and child health care with cesarean scar pregnancy ( CSP ) treated with UAE ( before or after uterine curettage) were analyzed retrospectively. 12 subjects with a definite diag-nosis of CSP were offered preventive UAE. 1 case of an emergency rupture of the CSP patient was offered emergen-cy interventional therapy. The other eight patients,who were misdiagnosed as having an intrauterine pregnancy,with the symptoms of active vaginal bleeding were treated with emergency UAE after uterine curettage. The results showed all the 31 patients with CSP were resolved successfully without hysterectomy and had a significant decrease on the data ofβ-HCG. 24 patients received preventive UAE combined with methotrexate followed by uterine curet-tage. 3 patients received a excision of the scar in the uterus after UAE. 4 patients had a UAE combined with conser-vative medication. Results showed that UAE might be an effective means of treating CSP, including treatment in an emergency setting. It decreases the incidence rate of hysterectomy.

Objective To investigate the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on stimulating high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) mRNA expression in peritoneal macrophages in rats and its potential signaling mechanism. Methods Abdominal macrophages obtained from male Wistar rats were seeded on 24-well (1?10 6 cells/well) tissue culture plates. The cells were incubated for 3 days before they were stimulated with LPS, fludarabine (specific inhibitor of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1, STAT1), or rapamycin (specific inhibitor of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, STAT3). After being stimulated, macrophages were denatured directly in tissue culture plates to determine HMGB1 mRNA expression. The time-dependent and dose-dependent responses between LPS stimulation and HMGB1 mRNA expression were analyzed, and the effect of treatment with fludarabine and rapamycin on HMGB1 mRNA expression was also observed. Results After being stimulated with 75-100ng/ml LPS, the HMGB1 mRNA expressions in macrophages were up-regulated markedly, peaking at 24-36 hours, and remained elevated up to 48 hours. It was found that the HMGB1 mRNA expression was significantly inhibited by treatment with either fludarabine (100?mol/L) or rapamycin (25ng/ml). Conclusions These data suggest that LPS stimulation can result in up-regulation of HMGB1 mRNA expression in peritoneal macrophages in rats. Janus kinase/STAT pathway may be involved in modulating HMGB1 mRNA expression in LPS-activated macrophages.
