Objective To explore the role and mechanism of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) in remifentanil (REM) resistance to hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI). Methods Forty SD rats were randomly divided into sham surgery group, HIRI group, HIRI+REM group, HIRI+PGC-1α inhibitor SR-18292 (HIRI+SR-18292) group and HIRI+REM+SR-18292 group, 8 rats in each group. HIRI rat models were constructed using non-invasive arterial clip occlusion method, and REM or SR-18292 were intravenously injected before surgery. The liver function indicators and liver tissue adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels in the serum of rats were detected by assay kits. The activity levels of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅲ and Ⅳ (COX-Ⅲ, COX-Ⅳ) in rat liver tissue were assessed by colorimetric methods. The pathological changes in rat liver tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress-related indicators in rat liver tissue were measured using the fluorescent probe (DCFH-DA) method and colorimetric methods. The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copies and the expression levels of PGC-1α, nuclear respiratory factor-1 (NRF-1) and mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) messenger RNA (mRNA) in rat liver tissue were quantified by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). And the protein expression levels of PGC-1α, NRF-1 and TFAM in rat liver tissue were assessed by Western blotting. Results Compared with the sham group, rats in the HIRI group showed increased pathological scores and hepatic cell necrosis in liver tissue, elevated levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in serum, and increased levels of ROS and malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver tissue. Additionally, there was a decrease in ATP content and the activity levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), COX-Ⅲ and COX-Ⅳ in liver tissue, as well as a decrease in mtDNA copies and the expression levels of PGC-1α, NRF-1 and TFAM mRNA and protein (all P<0.05). Compared with the HIRI group, rats in the HIRI+REM group exhibited decreased pathological scores and hepatic cell necrosis, reduced levels of serum ALT and AST, and decreased levels of ROS and MDA in liver tissue. There was also an increase in ATP content and the activity levels of SOD, GSH-Px, COX-Ⅲ and COX-Ⅳ in liver tissue, as well as an increase in mtDNA copies and the expression levels of PGC-1α, NRF-1 and TFAM mRNA and protein (all P<0.05). In contrast, rats in the HIRI+SR-18292 group showed increased pathological scores and hepatic cell necrosis, elevated levels of serum ALT and AST, and increased levels of ROS and MDA in liver tissue. There was a decrease in ATP content and the activity levels of SOD, GSH-Px, COX-Ⅲ and COX-Ⅳ in liver tissue, as well as a decrease in mtDNA copies and the expression levels of PGC-1α, NRF-1 and TFAM mRNA and protein (all P<0.05). Compared with the HIRI+REM group, rats in the HIRI+REM+SR-18292 group had increased pathological scores and hepatic cell necrosis, elevated levels of serum ALT and AST, and increased levels of ROS and MDA in liver tissue. There was a decrease in ATP content and the activity levels of SOD, GSH-Px, COX-Ⅲ and COX-Ⅳ in liver tissue, as well as a decrease in mtDNA copies and the expression levels of PGC-1α, NRF-1 and TFAM mRNA and protein (all P<0.05). Conclusions PGC-1α plays a role in regulating the process of REM resistance to HIRI by promoting mitochondrial biogenesis and reducing the levels of oxidative stress.

Objective To study the effect of leucine rich repeat kinase 2(LRRK2)on pain sensitivity in neuro-pathic pain(NP)rats and explore its possible mechanism.Methods 48 SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:sham surgery(Sham),model,LRRK2 inhibitor(MLi-2),and LRRK2 inhibitor+p3 8 mitogen activated pro-tein kinase(MAPK)agonist(MLi-2+Anisomycin),with 12 rats in each group.The NP rat model was induced by chronic constriction injury(CCI)of the sciatic nerve.Intrathecal injection of MLi-2(1 mg/kg,10 μl)or Anisomy-cin(20 μmol/L,10 μl)was started from the 8th day after surgery,once a day for 7 consecutive days.Pain sensi-tivity tests were conducted before surgery(day 0)and on postoperative days 7 and 14,respectively.The changes in mechanical withdrawal threshold(MWT)and paw withdraw thermal latency(PWTL)were analyzed in each group of rats.ELISA was used to detect the levels of interleukin-1 β(IL-1β),IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in the dorsal horn of the rat spinal cord.Nissl staining was used to observe the pathological changes of neurons in rat spinal cord tissue.Immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the expression levels of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule-1(Iba-1),a marker of microglia in the spinal cord of rats.Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of LRRK2,p-p38 mitogen activated protein kinase(MAPK),p38 MAPK,and Iba-1 in the dorsal horn of the rat spinal cord.Results Compared with the sham group,the model group showed a significant decrease in MWT and PWTL in the right hind limb of rats(P<0.01).The levels of IL-1,IL-6,and TNF in the spi-nal dorsal horn tissue,as well as the expression levels of LRRK2,Iba-1 proteins and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK pro-tein ratio significantly increased(P<0.01).The proportion of Iba-1 positive cells in the spinal cord tissue signifi-cantly increased(P<0.01),while Nissl bodies were significantly reduced(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the MLi-2 group showed a significant increase in MWT and PWTL in the right hind limb of rats(P<0.01),a significant increase in Nissl bodies(P<0.01),a significant decrease in the proportion of Iba-1 positive cells in the spinal cord tissue(P<0.01),and a significant decrease in the levels of IL-1,IL-6,and TNF and the expression levels of LRRK2,Iba-1 proteins and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK protein ratio(P<0.01).However,Anisomychin in-tervention could activate the p38 MAPK signaling pathway and partially reverse the beneficial effects of MLi-2 on pain sensitivity and neuroinflammation in rats with neuropathic pain.Conclusion Inhibiting the expression of LRRK2 can alleviate pain sensitivity in NP rats induced by microglia activation mediated neuroinflammation,and its mechanism of action may be related to regulating the p38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the value of endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy ( ERAT) in the diagnosis and treatment of atypical acute appendicitis. Methods All the 48 patients suspected of atypical acute appendicitis in Jiangsu Province Hospital from January 2015 to December 2016 were randomly divided into ERAT group and conservative treatment group according to the treatment method. The final appendectomy rate of the two groups was analyzed. Results Only 17 of the 24 patients in the ERAT group received endoscopic treatment because of complex conditions or personal wishes, and 16 cases were diagnosed as acute appendicitis. Surgical resection was performed in 5 cases because of recurrence of the disease after ERAT, and the appendectomy rate was 31. 2% ( 5/16 ) . In the conservative treatment group, all 24 patients were treated with antibiotics. Twenty of them underwent surgical resection with appendectomy rate of 83. 3% ( 20/24) , and 1 of them had appendiceal perforation. The appendectomy rate of the ERAT group was significantly lower than that of the conservative treatment group (χ2=11. 111, P<0. 05) . Conclusion ERAT has a high diagnostic and therapeutic value for atypical acute appendicitis.
