Objective:To investigate the protective effect of ulinastatin on sepsis-acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) by NF-κB signaling pathway.Methods:Total of 60 mice were randomly(random number) divided into sham group, cecal ligation puncture group (CLP group) and ulinastatin treatment group (CLP+UTI group). Ulinastatin treatment group was intraperitoneally injected with ulinastatin 50 000 U/kg once a day. 24 hours after operation, five mice were sacrificed, the kidney tissues were collected to observe renal histopathology by HE staining. The macrophage infiltration was observed by immunohistochemistry. The remaining mice in each group were used to calculate the survival rate of 7-day after operation. HK-2 cells were stimulated by LPS to obtain the SA-AKI model, and the cells were divided into control group, LPS group and LPS + UTI group. CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell viability, EdU assay was used to detect cell proliferation, and JC-1 assay was used to detect mitochondrial damage. The phosphorylation degree of NF-κB was detected by western blot. Inflammatory factors concentrations of cellular supernatant were detected by ELISA assay.Results:Compared with the sham group, the kidney tissue of mice in CLP group showed that kidney pathological obvious changed, the infiltration of macrophages increased, and the survival rate of mice decreased. CLP+ UTI group reduced the pathological changes and the infiltration of macrophages, improved the survival rate of mice. Compared with control group, LPS group obviously inhibited the cells activity and proliferation of HK-2 cells, damaged the mitochondrial membrane potential of HK-2 cells. Compared with LPS group, LPS+ UTI group attenuated the phosphorylation of NF-κB, decreased the secretion of inflammatory factors, rescued the activity and proliferation of HK-2 cells, and reduced the damage of HK-2 mitochondrial membrane potential.Conclusions:Ulinastatin can reduce mitochondrial damage, inhibit the secretion of inflammatory factors and improve the function of renal tubular epithelial cells through regulating NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objects To evaluate the immune protective effect of dexmedetomidine on breast cancer dur-ing perioperative radical mastectomy via sevoflurane inhalation general anesthesia. To explore reasonable anesthet-ic strategyfor breast cancer radical mastectomy. Methods Patients were divided into two groups. Patients in ex-perimental group receivedgeneral anesthesia with dexmedetomidine and sevoflurane. Control group means general anesthesia with sevoflurane only. In both groups, the level of cortisol, IL-6, IL-8 and of TNF-αin serum were measured at 5 time points , 30 minutes before anesthesia , after cutting skin , after surgery , 24 h after surgery and 72 h after surgery. Results The amount of anesthetic used to induce general anesthesia in the experimen-talgroup were lower than that of the control group.There is no obvious difference of cortisol , IL-6, IL-8 and of TNF-αin serumat the time of 30 min before anesthesia between two groups.Concentrations ofseveral markersin-creasedafter anesthesia, of which experimentalgroup were lower than that of the control group. Conclusions Dexmedetomidine could be immunoprotective for patient with breast cancer during perioperative radical mastecto-my via sevoflurane inhalationgeneralanesthesia.

Objective To observe the effect of Shenfu injection on fluid intake volume of resuscitation therapy for patients with septic shock. Methods The clinic data of 36 patients with septic shock admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University from June 2010 to June 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were treated with western conventional medicine. Twenty cases treated with western medicine combined with Shenfu injection (intravenous drip 100 mL once daily, half of a month was a therapeutic course) were defined as Shenfu group; the rest 16 cases treated with western medicine only were assigned as control group. The following data after treatment for 6, 24, and 72 hours in the two groups were compared:liquid intake and urine volumes, system vascular resistance index (SVRI), mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac index (CI), and case fatality rate in 28 days. Results There were no significant differences in the liquid intake volume in 6 hours after treatment (mL:3 101±219 vs. 3 329±295, P>0.05), the urine volumes in 6, 24 and 72 hours after treatment (mL, 6 hours:701±229 vs. 651±292, 24 hours:1 870±566 vs. 1 697±618, 72 hours:7 396±2 546 vs. 5 987±2 497), and the levels of SVRI in 24 hours after treatment between Shenfu group and control group (kPa·s·L-1·m-2:802±158 vs. 741±106, all P>0.05). The total liquid intake volumes (mL) in 24 hours and 72 hours after treatment in Shenfu group were significantly less than those in the control group (24 hours:4 544±425 vs. 4 996±396, 72 hours:10 985±891 vs. 11 612±807, both P<0.05). The SVRI, MAP, and CI in 72 hours of Shenfu group were significantly higher than those of control group [SVRI (kPa·s·L-1·m-2): 1 361±182 vs. 1 163±183, MAP (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 76.2±6.1 vs. 71.8±6.3, CI (mL·s-1·m-2):76.2±7.5 vs. 70.8±7.2, all P<0.05], and the 28-day mortality rate in Shenfu group was significantly lower than that of control group [25.0%(5/20) vs. 62.5%(10/16), P<0.05]. Conclusion The application of Shenfu injection was favorable to the reduction of liquid intake volume in 72 hours after treatment that may be beneficial to the fluid limitation management in the course of treatment for septic shock.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies suggest that vascular endothelial growth factor 121 may be an optimal target gene for thetreatment of acute myocardial infarction.OBJECTIVE: To investigate effect of direct myocardial injection of adenovirus recombinant human vascular endothelial growthfactor 121 gene (Ad-hVEGF121) on myocardial infracted rat heart structure, function and angiogenesis.METHODS: Totally 78 male SD rats were randomly divided into the sham-surgery (n=18), acute myocardial infarction (n=24),Ad-VEGF121 (n=19) and normal saline (n=17) groups. Among them, left anterior descending coronary arteries of the latter threegroups were ligated to prepare acute myocardial infarction models and rats were randomly selected to receive Ad-hVEGF12 ornormal saline via three points in the cardiac muscle at the 10-15 minutes after ligation. The chest was exposed without ligation inthe sham-surgery group.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At 2 weeks after injection, cardiac ultrasound showed that, compared with the sham-surgerygroup, the number of new capillaries, body weight and left ventricular mass / body weight of the acute myocardial infarction,Ad-hVEGF121 and normal saline groups were obviously increased (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), especially those received transfectedrAd-hVEGF12, had higher density of blood capillaries than those of the normal saline and acute myocardial infarction groups.However, there were no obviously differences between each group in infarct size, cardiac structure or functions. The directmyocardial injection of Ad-VEGF121 can significantly promote the formation of new blood vessels within the myocardium.

Objective To investigate the expression of FBXW7 during the development of Notch1induced murine leukemia.Methods Notch1 over-expressing murine model of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia was used to study the expression of FBXW7 by real-time PCR methods.Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMNC) were isolated on different days after transplantation and CD45.2+ GFP+ leukemia cells were sorted by flow cytometry at late stage.The expression changes of FBXW7 were tested by real-time PCR.Results The mouse bone marrow cells both from leukemia and control groups expressed FBXW7.Different expression patterns of FBXW7 were observed during the development of leukemia. The expression of FBXW7 was gradually increased in control group, whereas the expression level of FBXW7 in leukemia group was decreased steadily and reached one-sixth of that in control group on 12th day.Furthermore,lower expression level of FBXW7 was observed in CD45+.2 GFP+ leukemia cells.Conclusion Decreased expression of FBXW7 is observed in Notch1-induced mouse leukemia model,suggesting that the abnormal ubiquitin degradation pathway mediated by FBXW7 might contribute to the leukemogenesis in Notch1-induced murine leukemia model.
