Objective:To evaluate the relationship between intestinal mucosal mast cells and intestinal flora during intestinal ischemia-reperfusion(I/R) in mice.Methods:Forty-eight healthy male C57BL/6 mice, aged 9-12 weeks, weighing 20-25 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=12 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (group Sham), sham operation plus mast cell membrane stabilizer cromolyn sodium (CS) group (group Sham+ CS), I/R group and I/R+ CS group.The intestinal I/R injury was induced by clamping the superior mesenteric artery for 45 min followed by 4 h of reperfusion in I/R and I/R+ CS groups.The superior mesenteric artery was only exposed but not occluded in Sham and Sham+ CS groups.CS 50 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected once a day for two weeks before surgery in Sham+ CS and I/R+ CS groups.The equal volume of normal saline was intraperitoneally injected once a day for two weeks before surgery in Sham and I/R groups.Mice were then sacrificed and intestinal tissues were harvested for examination of the pathological changes of intestinal mucosa with a light microscope after HE staining, and the damage to intestinal tissues was assessed and scored according to Chiu.The expression of mast cell tryptase was detected using the immunohistochemical SP staining method, and the mast cells were counted.The intestinal contents were collected, the total amount of bacteria in intestinal flora was detected by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, and the diversity (Chao1 index and Shannon index) and relative abundance of intestinal microbial bacteria were detected by 16S rDNA sequencing method. Results:Compared with Sham group, the Chiu′s score and mast cell count were significantly increased, the expression of mast cell tryptase was up-regulated, the total amount of intestinal flora bacteria was increased, Chao1 index and Shannon index were decreased, the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Bacteroides and Enterobacteriaceae were increased, and the relative abundance of Firmicutes, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria was reduced in I/R group ( P<0.05 or 0.01), and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in Sham+ CS group ( P>0.05). Compared with I/R group, the Chiu′s score and mast cell count were significantly decreased, the expression of mast cell tryptase was down-regulated, the total amount of intestinal flora bacteria was decreased, Chao1 index and Shannon index were increased, the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Bacteroides and Enterobacteriaceae were reduced, and the relative abundance of Firmicutes, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria was increased in I/R+ CS group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusion:The activation of intestinal mucosal mast cell can lead to imbalance of intestinal flora, decrease the number of probiotics and increase the number of potential pathogenic bacteria, and thus be involved in the pathophysiological mechanism of intestinal I/R injury in mice.

Objective To explore the protective effects of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4I) on AD-like neurodegenerative changes and its mechanism. Methods The human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y on the logarithmic phase was divided into six groups:control group (CON group, treated with PBS contained 1‰DMSO for 12 h), wortmannin intervention group (W group, treated with 0.03 μmol/L wortmannin for 12 h), DPP-4I intervention group (DPP-4I group, treated with 10μmol/L DPP-4I for 12 h), both DPP-4I and wortmannin intervention group (DPP-4I+W group, pre-treated with 10 μmol/L DPP-4I for 2 h, then 0.03 μmol/L wortmannin for 12 h), DPP-4I, wortmannin and Ex9-39 intervention group (DPP-4I+W+Ex9-39 group, pre-treated with 10μmol/L Ex9-39 for 2 h, then 10μmol/L DPP-4I for 2 h followed by 0.03μmol/L wortmannin for 12 h), and Ex9-39 intervention group (Ex9-39 group, treated with 10μmol/L Ex9-39 for 12 h). MTT assay was used to detect the cell vitality. Western blot assay was used to detect the level of total tau protein (tau-5) and phosphorylated tau at different sites (pSpS199/202, pT231 and pS396), the level of phosphorylated neurofilaments (NF-H, NF-M) and phosphorylation of critical enzyme in PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway. Results (1) The cell vitality decreased, the levels of pSpS199/202, pT231, pS396 and NF-H/M increased significantly in W group than those in CON group. However, comparing with CON group, the above mentioned parameters reversed in DPP-4I group. Comparing with W group, the cell vitality increased and phosphorylated levels of above mentioned indices were decreased in DPP-4I+W group. (2) The cell vitality showed a decline trend while the levels of phosphorylation tau at three different sites and NF-H/M were higher in Ex9-39 group than those in CON group. Comparing with DPP-4I+W group, the results of the phosphorylated levels showed the same changes in DPP-4I+W+Ex9-39 group. (3) Comparing with CON group, the expression levels of phosphorylated PI3K, Akt and GSK3β increased significantly in DPP-4I group, while those decreased in W group. Additionally, the expression levels of phosphorylated PI3K, Akt and GSK3β were significantly increased in DPP-4I+W group than those in W group. Conclusion DPP-4I can enhance the level of GLP-1 and activate PI3K/Akt/GSK-3βinsulin signaling pathway to improve the hyperphosphorylated tau and NFs induced by wortmannin, and to protect AD-like neurodegeneration.

OBJECTIVETo explore the safety and efficacy of pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) in preventing chemotherapy-induced neutropenia in patients with breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to provide the basis for clinical application.

METHODSAccording to the principle of open-label, randomized, parallel-group controlled clinical trial, all patients were randomized by 1∶1∶1 into three groups to receive PEG-rhG-CSF 100 μg/kg, PEG-rhG-CSF 6 mg, or rhG-CSF 5 μg/kg, respectively. The patients with breast cancer received two chemotherapy cycles, and the NSCLC patients received 1-2 cycles of chemotherapy according to their condition. All patients were treated with the combination chemotherapy of TAC (docetaxel+ epirubicin+ cyclophosphamide) or TA (docetaxel+ epirubicin), or the chemotherapy of docetaxel combined with carboplatin, with a 21 day cycle.

RESULTSThe duration of grade 3-4 neutropenia in the PEG-rhG-CSF 100 μg/kg and PEG-rhG-CSF 6 mg groups were similar with that in the rhG-CSF 5 μg/kg group (P>0.05 for all). The incidence rate of grade 3-4 neutropenia in the PEG-rhG-CSF 100 μg/kg group, PEG-rhG-CSF 6 mg group, and G-CSF 5 μg/kg group were 69.7%, 68.4%, and 69.5%, respectively, with a non-significant difference among the three groups (P=0.963). The incidence rate of febrile neutropenia in the PEG-rhG-CSF 100 μg/kg group, PEG-rhG-CSF 6 mg group and G-CSF 5 μg/kg group were 6.1%, 6.4%, and 5.5%, respectively, showing no significant difference among them (P=0.935). The incidence rate of adverse events in the PEG-rhG-CSF 100 μg/kg group, PEG-rhG-CSF 6 mg group and G-CSF 5 μg / kg group were 6.7%, 4.1%, and 5.5%, respectively, showing a non-significant difference among them (P=0.581).

CONCLUSIONSIn patients with breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing TAC/TA chemotherapy, a single 100 μg/kg injection or a single fixed 6 mg dose of PEG-rhG-CSF at 48 hours after chemotherapy show definite therapeutic effect with a low incidence of adverse events and mild adverse reactions. Compared with the continuous daily injection of rhG-CSF 5 μg/kg/d, a single 100 μg/kg injection or a single fixed 6 mg dose of PEG-rhG-CSF has similar effect and is more advantageous in preventing chemotherapy-induced neutropenia.
