Objective To investigate the effects of rosiglitazone (ROSI), a potent agonist of peroxisome proliferator- activated receptor ?( PPAR?) on acute lung injury induced by endotoxin. Methods Thirty-six male Wistar rats weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 6 per group): group I control; group II ROSI; group III GW; group IV LPS; group V ROSI + LPS and group VI GW + ROSI + LPS. The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 3 % pentobarbital 50 mg ? kg -1 . The jugular vein was cannulated for administration of fluid and drug. In group I , II and III normal saline (NS) 2 ml was given 30 min after IV 10% DMSO 2 ml? kg-1( I ), ROSI 0.3 mg?kg-1(dissolved in DMSO) or GW9662 (PPAR? antagonist) 0.3 mg?kg-1 ( III ) . In group IV , V and VI instead of NS LPS 6 mg? kg-1 was given 30 min after 10% DMSO ( IV ) or ROSI( V , VI). In group VI GW9662 0.3 mg?kg-1 was given IV 20 min before ROSI. The rats were sacrificed and the lungs were removed for microscopic examination and determination of wet/dry lung weight ( W/D) ratio and lung myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) and NO content. The lung was also assessed for expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and nitrotyrosine ( NT) using Western blot analysis or immuno-histochemistry.Results LPS induced marked lung injury and significant increase in W/D ratio, MPO activity, MDA and NO content in the lung. All of these changes were significantly attenuated by pretreatment with ROSI. Pretreatment also significantly suppressed LPS-induced expression of iNOS protein and formation of nitrotyrosine in the lung. The specific PPAR? antagonist GW9662 counteracted the effects of ROSI. Conclusion Pretreatment with has protective effect against endotoxin-induced ALL The underlying mechanism is via the activation of PPAR?.

Objective To investigate the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in mechanical ventilation-induced lung injury in rats.Methods Thirty healthy male Wistar rats,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =6 each):control group (group C),small tidal volume group (group S),small tidal volume and PKC inhibitor group (group S + P),large tidal volume group (group L),and large tidal volume and PKC inhibitor group (group L + P).VT =42 ml/kg,RR =40 bpm,I∶E =1∶ 2,PEEP =0,FiO2 =21％ in groups L and L + P,while VT=7 ml/kg,RR=40 bpm,I∶E=1∶2,PEEP=0,FiO2 =21％ in groups S and S+P.The rats were only tracheostonized in group C,while the rats were mechanically ventilated for 4 h in the other four groups.PKC inhibitor bisindolylmaleinide Ⅰ 0.12 mg/kg was injected intramuscularly 1 h before anesthesia in groups S + P and L + P.The animals were sacrificed immediacy after tracheotomy in group C,and at 4 h of ventilation in the other four groups and lungs were removed for calculation of wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio) and for microscopic examination.The expression of occludin was determined in the lung tissues by Western blot.Results Compared with group C,W/D ratio was significantly increased and the expression of occludin was down-regulated in the other four groups (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group S,W/D ratio was significantly increased and the expression of occludin was down-regulated in group L,and W/D ratio was decreased and the expression of occludin was up-regulated in group S + P (P ＜ 0.01).W/D ratio was significantly lower and the expression of occludin was higher in group L + P than in group L (P ＜ 0.01).The pathological changes were attenuated in groups S + P and L + P as compared with groups S and L.Conclusion PKC is involved in mechanical ventilation-induced lung injury in rats.

Neutrophils play a critical role in ventilation-induced lung injury. This study was aimed to investigate the characteristics of neutrophils influx in lungs induced by high tidal volume ventilation. Anaesthetized rats were randomly divided into low tidal volume ventilation group (Vt: 7 mL/kg, LV group) or high tidal volume ventilation group (Vt: 42 mL/kg, HV group) (n=40 in each). Rats in each group were ventilated for 0, 60, 90, 120 and 240 min. The wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D) was measured. The levels of macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The number of neutrophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was counted after Wright's staining, and the percentage of netrophils in lung tissues calculated. Histopatholgical examination was used to observe the changes of lung tissues after different ventilations. The results showed that the W/D weight ratio was increased, and the levels of MIP-2 and TNF-α significantly enhanced in HV group at 90, 120 and 240 min. Neutrophils in BALF and the neutrophil percentage in lung tissues were also elevated at 120 and 240 min, which coincided with the enhanced activity of MPO in HV group. The lung injury was significantly related with the ventilation time and the infiltration of neutrophils in lungs in HV group. In conclusion, in ventilation-induced lung injury, neutrophil infiltration is present in a time-dependent manner and associated with the aggravated lung injury. Pulmonary structural damage may be the main reason for ventilation-induced lung injury.

Objective: To investigate the awareness, sexual behavior characteristics and infection status of AIDS among male floating population in Anhui Province, so as to provide insights into formulating prevention and control measures for male floating population. Methods: Male floating population of three occupations including construction workers, enterprise workers, and business operators in Wuhu, Tongling, Hefei, and Fuyang cities were selected using stratified cluster random method from April to August 2021. Demographic information, knowledge of AIDS and high-risk behaviors were collected through questionnaires surveys. The results of HIV, syphilis and hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody testing were collected through laboratory tests. Awareness rate of AIDS knowledge, sexual behavior characteristics, and positive rates of HIV, syphilis, and HCV among male floating population of different occupations were analyzed. Results: A total of 1 616 people were enrolled, including 1 016 construction workers (62.87%), 253 enterprise workers (15.66%) and 347 business operators (21.47%), and had a mean age of (40.63±12.32) years. The overall awareness rate of AIDS knowledge among male floating population was 89.54%, the awareness rates of business operators, construction workers, and enterprise workers were 98.33%, 88.29% and 82.61%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The proportions of consistent condom use during sexual intercourse with a spouse or cohabitant, during commercial sexual encounters, and with casual partners in the past year were 7.15% (91/1 273), 64.00% (16/25) and 50.00% (8/16), respectively. The proportions of construction workers, enterprise workers, and business operators who used condoms every time they had sexual behavior with their spouses/cohabitants in the past year were 4.54%, 11.63%, and 15.60%, respectively, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). One case of HIV, one case of syphilis, and three cases of HCV antibody were detected. Conclusion The overall awareness rate of AIDS knowledge among the male floating population in Anhui Province is relatively high, but unsafe sex behaviors exist, which may lead to the risk of HIV infection.

Objective To evalute the accuracy of stroke volume variation (SVV) in monitoring blood volume in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.Methods Twenty-one ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of both sexes aged 44-77 yr undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting were enrolled in this study.Anesthesia was induced with midazolam,etomidate,fentanyl,rocuronium and dolicaine and maintained with target-controlled infusion of propofol,infusion of remifentanil,intermittent iv injetion of atracurium and inhalation of sevoflurane.The patients were mechanically ventilated (VT 8 ml/kg,RR 12 bpm,I:E 1:2,PEEP 0,FiO2 80％ ).PEr CO2 was maintained at 35-44 mm Hg.Radial artery was cannulated and connected to FloTrac pressure transducer and Vigileo monitor.6％ hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 sodium chloride solution 7 ml/kg was infused at a rate of 0.25 ml· kg- 1 1· min- 1 at 5 min of haemodynamics stabilization after pericardiotomy (T1).HR,MAP,CVP,systemic vascular resistance (SVR),systemic vascular nesistance index (SVRI),SVV,stroke volume index (SVI)and CI were recorded at T1 and at 10 min after loading dose (T2).The change rate of HR(△HR),MAP(△MAP),CVP(△CVP),SVR(△SVR),SVV(△SVV),SVI(△SVI) and CI(△CI) were calculated.△SVI≥25％ was considered effective volume expansion.The ROC curves for HR,MAP,CVP,SVR and SVV in determining the volume expansion efficacy were plotted.The area under the curves and 95 ％ confidence interval were calculated.Results Compared with T1,CVP,SVI,CO and CI were significantly increased,SVRI and SVV decreased at T2 (P ＜ 0.01).There was no significant difference in MAP and HR between T1 and T2(P ＞0.05).△SVI was negatively correlated with △HR and △SVR ( r =- 0.737,r =- 0.480,P ＜ 0.05).△SVI was not correlated with △CVP,△MAP and( P ＞ 0.05).The change in SVI was determined by SVV 8.8％ (sensitivity =52.6％,specificity =100.0％ ).The area under the curve for SVV and 95％ confidence interval were 0.579(0.346-0.812).Conclusion SVV can not be used to accuratelymonitor the changes in blood volume in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.
