Objective To explore the expression and function of myosin light streptokinase (MLCK) in small intestine mucosa of acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) rats.Methods Fifty-six male SD rats were randomly assigned to control group and ANP group.A rat model of ANP was reproduced by retrograde injection of 4％ sodium taurocholate into the biliopancreatic duct,while the control group underwent a sham operation.The rats were sacrificed at 6th,12th,24th,48th hour after ANP induction.Serum amylase、TNF α,IL 1β,diamine oxidase (DAO) were measured.The pathological scores in the pancreas and small intestine were observed.The ultrastructure and tight junction (TJ) changes in the small intestine mucosa were observed with an electron microscope.The localization and expression of MLCK in small intestine mucosa was determined by immunohistochemistry method.Results Compared to the control group,the serum amylase,TNF-α,IL-1 β,DAO level,in the ANP group were all significantly increased;[(4 978 ± 1 574) U/L vs (1 176 ± 124))U/L,(47.88 ± 15.85) μg/L vs (17.24 ± 1.99) μg/L,(132.48 ± 68.54) μg/L vs (23.51 ± 6.44) μg/L,(95.96 ± 30.84)μg/L vs (38.06 ± 17.73)U/L at 12 h],and the pathology scores of pancreas and small intestine were both significantly elevated [12 h:(12.2 ± 1.80) vs (4.68 ± 0.35),(2.58 ± 0.52) vs (0.58 ±0.26)] (P ＜0.05);the MLCK protein expression in small intestine mucosa was significantly increased in ANP group (12 h:0.1863 ± 0.0230 vs 0.1636 ± 0.0049),and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜0.05).The small intestine ultrastructure was seriously damaged and TJ was widened significantly in ANP Group.Conclusions The increased serum TNF alpha and IL-1β concentration and DAO activity and up-regulated MLCK protein expression in small intestine mucosa may damage the integrity of tight junction of intestinal epithelial cell and cause intestine mucosa barrier dysfunction.

Objective To observe the expression of ghrelin and growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) in pancreas of rats with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP),and investigate the role of ghrelin in the pathogenesis of ANP.Methods Seventy SD rats were randomly divided into ANP group (n =35) and control group (n =35).ANP model was induced by retrograde injection of 4％ sodium taurocholate into the biliary and pancreatic duct.Rats in the control group underwent laparotomy with gentle pancreas manipulation only.At 3,6,12,24,48 h after ANP induction,the rats were sacrificed,and the serum level of amylase was determined,pathological changes in pancreatic tissue were routinely observed and scored.The expressions of ghrelin mRNA,protein and GHSR mRNA,protein in pancreas were evaluated by RT-PCR and Western blot.Results Serum amylase level began to increase at 3h after sodium taurocholate injection and reached the peak value at 6 h [(8244 ± 2950) U/L],which was significantly higher than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Pancreatic injuries was aggravated with time,the pathologic score at 24 h was (11.91 ± 1.31) score,which was significantly higher than (3.12 ± 1.60) score in the control group.The expressions of ghrelin mRNA and GHSR mRNA in pancreas of ANP group were increased gradually with time,and were significantly higher than those of control group at all time points,at 48 h,1.29 ±0.64 vs 0.58 ±0.05 and 0.94 ±0.16vs 0.19 ±0.03,P ＜ 0.05.The expressions of ghrelin protein and GHSR protein in pancreas of ANP group were significantly higher than that in control group at 12,24,48 h.at 48 h,3.05 ± 0.48 vs 2.18 ± 0.23 and 2.34 ± 0.32 vs 1.55 ± 0.10 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The expressions of ghrelin mRNA,protein and GHSR mRNA,protein of pancreas are significantly increased in rats of ANP,and are associated with the severity of ANP.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of the Classification of acute pancreatitis2012.Methods Medical records and clinical data of patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) who were admitted to First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University between October 2009 and September 2012 were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed.Patients were divided into mild acute pancreatitis (MAP),moderately severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP),and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) groups according to the Classification of acute pancreatitis-2012.The number of improved and cured patients,length of hospital stay,hospitalization costs,rate of ICU admission,length of ICU stay,incidence of SIRS,and length of SIRS continue,Ranson scores,APACHE Ⅱ scores,computed tomographic severity index (CTSI) scores among the 3 groups were compared.Results One hundred and sixty-six patients with AP (119 males and 47 females) were included,and 76 were MAP,65 MSAP and 25 SAP.The average interval between AP onset and hospital admission was (2.27 ± 1.46) d.The number of improved and cured patients,length of hospital stay,hospitalization costs,rate of ICU admission,length of ICU stay,incidence of SIRS,and length of SIRS continue,Ranson scores,APACHE Ⅱ scores,CTSI scores increased with the severity of AP.The corresponding values in SAP group were 21 cases (84.0％),(23.8 ± 13.6) d,(53900 ± 30260) Yuan,48.0％ (12/25) and (5.76 ± 13.8) d,96.0％ (24/25) and (5.00 ± 2.40) d,(3.76 ± 1.30) score,(8.52 ± 4.24) score,(5.44 ± 3.48) score.Seventy-nine patients developed local complications,among them 34 was acute peripancreatic fluid collection,45 was acute necrosis collection.The incidence of acute necrosis collection in SAP group was significantly higher than that in MSAP group (68.0％ vs 44.6％,P =0.047),but the incidence of acute peripancreatic fluid collection in SAP group was significantly lower than that in MSAP group (16.0％ vs 46.2％,P =0.016).Organ failure occurred in 42 patients,among them 35 cases were respiratory failure,2 cases were renal failure,and 5 cases were respiratary and renal failure.The incidence of organ failure in SAP and MSAP group was 100％ and 26.2％,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Classification of acute pancreatitis-2012 is a simple and convenient system,which can predict the severity of AP and appropriate for clinical application.

Objective To investigate the expression of pancreatic thioredoxin-1 (TRX-1) in rats with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) and the effect of pretreatment of melatonin on its expression. Methods Male Spraque-Dawley rats (n = 12) were randomly divided to ANP group, melatonin group, control group with 24 rats in each group. The rats in ANP group received three intraperitoneal injections of 25 ml/kg body weight 6% L-arginine at an interval of 1 h to induce ANP. The rats in melatonin group received intraperitoneal injections of 25 ml/kg body weight 6% melatonin 30 min before ANP induction; rats in ANP group and control group received intraperitoneal injections of same amount of saline. Rats were sacrificed at 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after ANP induction. The serum level of amylase was measured and the pathological evaluation of pancreatic tissues was performed. The concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in pancreatic tissues were measured. The expressions of TRX-1 protein were detected by immunohistochemistry and the expressions of TRX-1 mRNA in pancreatic tissues were determined by RT-PCR.Results In ANP group, serum level of amylase, MDA, MPO, TRX-1 mRNA and TRX-1 protein in pancreatic tissues were (3 012 ±1 425) U/L, (4.13 ± 1. 85)nmol/mg prot,(7.45 ± 1.26)nmol/mg prot, 0.68 ±0. 18, 66.8 ±8. 1, while they were (1 835±499)U/L, (3.03 ±2.12) nmol/mg prot, (5. 32 ± 1.06) nmol/mg prot, 0.50±0.09, 80. 29 ±8. 14, respectively in melatonin group, the values in melatonin group were significantly lower thanthose in ANP group (P < 0.05). The peak value of TRX-1 mRNA and TRX-1 protwein expressions shifted from 12 h after ANP induction in ANP group to 6 h after ANP induction in melatonin group. Conclusions The expression of pancreatic TRX-1 protein and TRX-1 mRNA in rats with ANP was significantly increased. Melatonin pretreatment could promote pancreatic tissues to express TRX-1 protein and TRX-1 mRNA, and may be protective for pancreatic tissues damages.

Objective To explore the signal transduction pathway of cyst fluid of Echinococcus granalosus in anti-parasite mechanisms through investigating the effect of cyst fluid on the expression of Toll-like receptor(TLR) in cells. Methods Changes of TLR4 and TGF-β1 expression of 7404 liver cells were detected by quantitative PCR. Results After treatment with increasing concentration cyst fluid the expres-sion of TLR4 was reduced. TGF-β1 expression of liver cells increased with the dose. TLR2 expressions in each group were very low. Conclusion Cyst fluid can increase the expression of TLR4, suggesting that the TLR4 signal transduction pathway involve anti-cyst fluid of Echinococcus granulosus. High concentrations of cyst fluid contribute to TGF-β1 expression which plays a role in immune evasion.
