Objective To explore the potential role of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 ( MCP-1 ) gene in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI) in early acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP). Methods Forty SD rats were randomly divided into control group, ANP 3, 6, 12 h group with 10 rats in each group according to a number table. ANP was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 15% L-arginine solution at a dose of 2.0 mg/g body weight. Pathological changes of pancreases and lungs were observed. Lung wet/dry weight ratio was measured. Intrapulmonary expression of MCP-1 mRNA was evaluated by RT-PCR. Results After intraperitoneal injection of 15% L-arginine solution, the rat's pancreas presented with bleeding, necrosis comparable with pathological changes of ANP. Pulmonary tissue edema was obvious. At ANP 3, 6, 12 h group, the pathological scores of the lung were 3.75±0.58,5.50 ±0.63,5.86 ±0.54, the wet/dry weight ratios were 4.85 ±0.38,4.97 ± 0.47,5.03 ± 0. 46, the MCP-1 mRNA expressions were 0.36 ± 0.08, 0. 56 ± 0. 15, 0. 72 ± 0.21,which were significantly higher than those in the control group (0.12 ±0.05,4.32 ±0.33,0.21 ±0.05, P＜0.05 or ＜0.01 ). The MCP-1 mRNA expression in lungs was significantly correlated with the degree of lung damage and wet/dry weight ratio of lungs (r=0.75,r=0.89,P＜0.05).Conclusions MCP-1 mRNA expression was up-regulated in the early phase of ANP in the lungs, and it may play an important role in ALI during ANP.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effects of p38MAPK inhibitor SB203580 on acute necrotizing pancreatitis associated lung injuries in rats.Methods Fifty-four SD male rates were randomly divided into 3 groups,including control group,ANP group,SB203580 group with 18 rats in each group.ANP was induced by intraperitoneal injection of L-arginine solution. Rats in control group were intraperitoneally injected with same amount of saline.Before ANP induction,the rats in SB203580 group received 10 μmol/L SB203580 dissolved by dimethyl sulfoxide at a dose of 5mg/kg weight via intraperitoneal injection.The rats were sacrificed at 3,6,and 12 h after operation,the serum levels of amylase,TNF-α,IL-6 was determined.Pathological changes of pancreas and lung were observed.The wet/dry (W/D) weight ratio of lung and MPO were measured.CINC mRNA of lungs was determined by RT PCR. Expression of phosphated-p38MAPK (p-p38MAPK) protein was evaluated by Western blotting.ResultsThe serum levels of amylase,TNF-α,IL-6and wet/dry (W/D) weight ratio of lung,MPO activity,CINC mRNA and p-p38MAPK protein expression of lungs were (1035 ±73)U/L,(0.94 ±0.16)μg/L,(4.77 ±0.86) μg/L,3.92 ±0.29,(0.39 ±0.02)U/g,0.28 ±0.04,0.09 ±0.04 in control group at 6 h after operation,and the corresponding values were (5848 ±656) U/L,(3.84 ±0.32)μg/L,(103.54 ± 15.32)μg/L,4.97 ±0.47,(1.03 ±0.08) U/g,0.62 ±0.06,0.52 ±0.14 in ANP group,while they were (4259 ±286) U/L,( 1.64 ±0.21 ) μg/L,(76.56 ± 11.46) μg/L,4.32 ±0.34,(0.78 ±0.05)U/g,0.37 ±0.04,0.27 ±0.08 in SB203580 group.The values in ANP group were significantly higher than those in control group,and the values in SB203580 group were significantly lower than those in ANP group,but they were still significantly higher than those in control group ( P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionsSB203580 may attenuate injury of lung and pancreas in ANP by blocking p38MAPK signal transduction pathway,and decreasing the production of inflammatory cytokines.

Objective To investigate the changes of extraceUular regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation and assess the effects of blocking the ERK1/2 phosphorylation on rats with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP). Methods The ANP model was induced by retrograde injection of 5% sodium tanrocholate into the biliary and pancreatic duct. 5 rats were treated as normal control. Other 75 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rots were randomly divided into sham operations(SO) group (n =25), ANP group (n =25) and PD98059 group (n =25). The rats were sacrificed at 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 3 h and 6 h after ANP induction, the blood and pancreatic sample were taken. Pathological changes of pancreas were observed with light microscope and scored. The serum level of TNF-α and IL-1β was determined by ELISA. MPO activities in pancreas were measured by enzyme chemistry assay. Western blotting was performed to determine the phosphorylations of ERK1/2 in the pancreas homogenates. Results There was no significant pathologic changes in rats of SO group;but significant injuries occurred in ANP group, the pathologic score at 3 h was 9.9 ± 0.4;the extent of injuries attenuated in PD98059 group, the pathologic score at 3 h was 4.0 ± 0.4 (P < 0.05). The serum levels of TNF-α at 3 h in SO, ANP and PD98059 groups were (65.8 ± 20.5) pg/ml, (286.5 ± 50.3) pg/ml, (180.4±32.9)pg/ml, respectively;the serum levels of IL-1β at 3 h in SO, ANP and PD98059groups were (85.8 ± 25.5) pg/ml, (293.8 ± 46.3) pg/ml, (200. 5 ± 33.6) pg/ml, respectively;MPOactivities in pancreas were (0. 19 ± 0.02)U/g, (0.61±0.05)U/g, (0.52±0.03) U/g, and the values in ANP and PD98059 groups were significantly higher than those in SO group, while the values in PD98059 group were significantly lower than those in ANP group (P < 0.01). The expression of ERK1/2 phosphorylation in normal pancreas was 1100 ± 141, the expressions of ERK1/2 phosphorylation in ANP group at 15 min, 30 min were 5300 ± 486, 5621 ± 384, respectively;the expressions began to decrease 1 h later and returned the similar level as SO group at 6 h;the expressions of ERK1/2 phosphorylation in PD98059 group at 15 min, 30 rain were 4200 ± 370, 3600 ± 290, respectively;which were signifieanfly lower than those in ANP group (all P value < 0. 01). Conclusions The ERK1/2 signal transduetion pathway plays an important role in the pathogenesis of ANP. Inhibition of ERK1/2 phosphorylation by PD98059 may decrease the production of IL-1β, TNF-α and pancreatic MPO, attenuate the extent of pancreatic pathologic injuries.

Objective To study the clinical and prognostic value of CK19 mRNA-positive circulating tumor cells in early breast cancer patients. Methods We analyzed the peripheral blood in 50 patients with early breast cancer after surgery and before the initiation of any adjuvant treatment for the presence of CK19 mRNA-positive circulating tumor cells using a nest reverse polymerase chain reaction assay. All patients were followed up. Results CK19 mRNA-positive cells were detected in 40.0 %(20/50) of patients with early breast cancer, 12.5 %(3/24) of patients with breast benign lesions, but 5 %(1/20) in healthy individuals (P =0.017,P =0.004); 11 to 20 of them relapsed during the follow-up period (P =0.002). There was no significant association between the detection of CK19 mRNA-positive cell and the patients' menstrual status, tumor stage, tumor size, etc (P ＞0.05). Detection of peripheral-blood CK19 mRNA-positive cells was associated with reduced median relapse-free interval in early breast cancer patients (P =0.007). Conclusion CK19 mRNA is one of the molecular markers for the detection of circulating tumor cells in early breast cancer. Detection of peripheral blood CK19 mRNA-positive cells might be an important predictive value as a marker of relapse in early breast cancer patients.

Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is a carcinogenic mycotoxin found in commodities such as corn and corn-originated products. An aptamer-based method for detection of FB1 was developed using the fluorescent dye PicoGreen, which can recognize and bind double-stranded DNA. A peak fluorescence of PicoGreen was obtained in 15 min in the presence of FB1 aptamer, which formed a double-stranded hybridizer DNA with its complementary strand. The excitation and emission wavelengths for PicoGreen detection were 480 nm and 520 nm, respectively. The sensitivity of this aptamer/PicoGreen-based method was 0.1 μg/L. This method showed a good linearity for FB1 concentration ranging from 0.1 to 1 μg/L. The entire detection procedure for FB1 could be completed within 40 min. No cross reactions were observed with any other mycotoxins against aflatoxin B1, ochratoxin A, citrinin and zearalenone, demonstrating high specificity towards FB1 aptamer. Agreement between commercial, antibody-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit and aptamer method was excellent with a kappa value of 0.857. Taken together, this aptamer/PicoGreen-based method is more cost-effective, time-saving and useful than ELISA for detection of FB1.
