Objective To investigate the expression of μ-opioid system in the epidermis of patients with atopic dermatitis and its role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis. Methods Thirty-two mice were equally divided into 4 groups, negative control group, pre-treatment group, naloxone group, and physiological saline group. Ovalbumin was used to sensitize mice in pretreatment group, naloxone group, and physiological saline group for 7 weeks, then, mice in naloxone group and physiological saline group were treated with intracutaneous naloxone or physiological saline solution for 1 week, respectively. Mice were killed in negative control group and pre-treatment group at the end of sensitization, and in naloxone group and physiological saline group after 1-week injection with naloxone or physiological saline, skin tissues were obtained from the back of killed mice and subjected to histological examination with HE staining and quantitative fluorescent PCR for the detection of mRNA expression of μ-opioid receptor (MOR) and its ligand (β-endorphin) in epidermis. The atopic dermatitis severity index of lesions and histological changes were assessed before and after the treatment. Results In comparison with the negative control mice, the epidermal expression level of MOR was signifieantly decreased (t = 2.549, P ＜ 0.05 ) in pre-treatment group, but increased in naloxone group and showed no statistical difference from the negative control group (t = 0.671, P ＞ 0.05). No significant difference was observed in the epidermal β-endorphin mRNA expression between negative control group and pre-treatment group or naloxone group (both P ＞ 0.05 ). The improvement of lesions could be visualized after treatment with naloxone (t = 8.338, P ＜ 0.01 ), which was concordant with the histological changes in naloxone group. Conchusions As an antagonist of MOR, naloxone can restore the expression of epidermal MOR in mice model for atopic dermatitis, and shows a certain efficacy in the treatment of atopic dermatitis, which proves that μ-opioid system is somewhat associated with the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of BML-111 on NF-κB pathway during acute lung injury induced by hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation in rats.Methods Thirty-two adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-250 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation group (group HSR),BML-111 group,and BML-111 + BOC-2 (lipoxin A4 receptor antagonist) group (group BOC-2).The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital sodium.Hemorrhagic shock was induced by blood letting and maintained for 30 min.The animals were then resuscitated for 30 min by infusion of the shed blood and lactated Ringer's solution.In group BOC-2,BOC-2 (50 μg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally before blood letting.In BML-111 and BOC-2 groups,BML-111 (1 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally at the beginning of resuscitation.The rats were sacrificed at 2 h after the end of resuscitation and lungs were removed for determination of pathological changes,myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity,intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression (by immunohistochemistry),tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) content (by ELISA),and NF-κB p65 and IκB-α expression (by Western blot).Results Compared with group S,the MPO activity,ICAM-1 expression,and TNF-α content were significantly increased,NF-κB p65 expression was up-regulated,and IκB-α expression was down-regulated in group HSR.Compared with group.HSR,the MPO activity,ICAM-1 expression,and TNF-α content were significantly decreased,NF-κB p65 expression was down-regulated,IκB-α expression was up-regulated,and pathological changes of lung were attenuated in group BML-111.Compared with group BML-111,the MPO activity,ICAM-1 expression,and TNF-α content were significantly increased,NF-κB p65 expression was up-regulated,and lκ:B-α expression was down-regulated,and pathological changes of lung were aggravated in group BOC-2.Conclusion BML-1 11 inhibits activation of NF-κB pathway and inflammatory responses,thus mitigating acute lung injury induced by hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation in rats.

Objective To evaluate the effect of lipoxin A4 receptor agonist BML-111 on acute lung injury induced by hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation in rats.Methods Thirty-two healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 6-8 weeks,weighing 200-250 g,were randomized into 4 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (S group),hemorrhagic shock/resuscitation group (HSR group),BML-111 group,and BML-111 plus BOC-2 (lipoxin A4 receptor antagonist) group (BOC-2 group).The animals were anesthetized with 2％ pentobarbital sodium 80 mg/kg,tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated.Left common carotid artery was cannulated for blood-letting and fluid infusion.Hemorrhagic shock was induced according to the method described by Kochanek et al.MAP was reduced to 35-45 mmHg and maintained at this level for 30 min.The animals were then resuscitated for 30 min with infusion of the blood withdrawn and lactated Ringer' s solution 2 times the volume of blood withdrawn.In BML-111 and BOC-2 groups,BML-111 (1 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally at the beginning of resuscitation.In BOC-2 group,BOC-2 (50 μg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally before blood-letting.The rats were sacrificed at 2 h after completion of resuscitation.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected for determination of neutrophil count.Lungs were excised for microscopic examination of the pathological changes and for determination of wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio),contents of interleukin-1 (IL-1β) and IL-6,and phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK).Results Compared with group S,the neutrophil count in BALF,W/D ratio,contents of IL-1β and IL-6,and phosphorylation of MAPK were significantly increased in HSR group (P ＜ 0.05).The neutrophil count in BALF,W/D ratio,contents of IL-1β and IL-6,and phosphorylation of MAPK were significantly lower in BML-111 group than in HSR group,and higher in BOC-2 group than in BML-111 group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion BML-111 can attenuate acute lung injury induced by hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation in rats and inhibition of activation of MAPK pathways and reduction of inflammatory responses in lung tissues are involved in the mechanism.

Purpose To investigate the expression of the protein of CD151 and MT1-MMP in adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junc-tion tissues and to explore their relationship with the invasiveness and metastasis of the tumor. Methods CD151 and MT1-MMP pro-tein were detected by immunohistochemical staining respectively in 15 cases of paraneoplastic normal gastric mucosa tissue, 40 cases dysplasia and 172 cases of adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction tissues. Results All of the expression level of CD151 and MT1-MMP protein were increasing according to the order of normal-dysplsia-carcinoma. The expression rate of CD151 was 6. 67%, 20. 0% and 78. 3%, while the rate of MT1-MMP with 13. 3%, 22. 5% and 79. 1% in the normal, dysplasia and carcinoma subgroup. The expression rate of each protein were significant difference among the three goroups (P<0. 05). In the adenocarcinoma of esopha-gogastric junction tissues, the expression of them in the subgroup of poorly-differentiated with serosa invasion and lymph nodes metasta-sis was significantly higher than the other subgroup of well-differentiated with non serosa invasion or lymph nodes metastasis ( P <0. 05 ) . There was a positive correlation between the expression of CD151 and MT1-MMP protein in adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction tissues ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusions CD151 and MT1-MMP assuredly and highly express in the adenocarcinoma of esopha-gogastric junction tissues and they have close relationships, which could involved in the invasiveness and metastasis synergistically in this tumor.
