Systematic evaluation of pulmonary inflammation induced by fine particulate matter in a mouse model / 中国实验动物学报

Objective The aim of this study was to establish a PM2.5air pollution-induced mouse model of pulmo-nary inflammation and investigate its pathogenetic mechanism. Methods 150 specific pathogen-free BALB/c mice were subjected to intratracheal instillation of 2.5,5,or 10 mg/kg PM2.5suspension to construct airborne inflammation models. The blank group and saline group were taken as a control group. Mice were euthanized after 3rd,7th,21st,35th and 49th days to assess the pathological changes in lung tissues using HE staining and ELISA. Results The success rate of tracheal instillation was 96%. With the time prolongation and increasing doses of intratracheal PM2.5instillation,the histopathologi-cal scores of lung tissue increased gradually,showing alveolar macrophages with engulfed particles and lymphocyte accumu-lation in bronchiole and widened inter-alveolar space. The levels of BALF IL-6 and TNF-α of lung tissue homogenate were significantly increased in the high dose PM2.5(10 mg/kg)group, compared with the control groups. Conclusions A mouse model of PM2.5air pollution-induced lung inflammation is successfully established by intratracheal instillation of PM2.5suspension.This method is proved to be simple,safe and reliable,and is useful for further study of air pollution-in-duced and other inflammatory mechanisms.

Study on the effect of aging on sleep apnea syndrome in rats / 中华老年医学杂志

Objective To investigate the effect of aging on the sleep apneas syndrome in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats.Methods 18 male SD rats in a SPF grade were divided into three groups:young (3-month-old rats,n=6),middle-aged(12-14-month-old rats,n=6) and old group (18-20-month-old rats,n=6).The rats were implanted with EEG and ECG electrodes and underwent sleep monitoring.Results During non-rapid eye movement (NREM),the spontaneous apnea index (SPAI) in young,middle-aged and old groups were increased with aging [0.41 (0.00-1.14)times/h,0.76(0.00-6.28)times/h,2.13(1.44-3.87)times/h respectively,(x2=8.801,P=0.012)].There were significant differences in the average time of post sigh apnea in NREM between the three groups [(3.51±0.18)sec vs.(3.84±0.57)sec vs.(4.36±0.57) sec,F=4.729,P=0.026].SPAI in NREM and the average time of post-sigh apnea in rapid eye movement (REM) as well as NREM showed an increase trend with aging,but there was no significant difference between groups (both P ＞0.05).Conclusions The apnea index,total time of sleep apneas and the average time of postsigh apnea are increased with aging,which is similar to that in human.

Intermittent hypoxia with or without hypercapnia is associated with tumorigenesis by decreasing the expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor and miR-34a in rats / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Very recent studies revealed that obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a contributor of the increased incidence and mortality of cancer in humans, but mechanisms of how OSA promotes tumorigenesis remains largely unknown. We investigated whether intermittent hypoxia with and without hypercapnia plays a role in tumorigenesis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>First, Sprague-Dawley (SD) male rats (12 weeks old) were subjected to different hypoxia exposures: intermittent hypoxia and intermittent hypoxia with hypercapnia; continuous hypoxia and normal air. The systemic application of chronic fast rate hypoxia with or without hypercapnia mimicked severe OSA patients with apnoea/hypopnea index equivalent to 60 events per hour. Then routine blood tests were performed and the levels of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and miR-34a were examined.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In contrast to intermittent hypoxia with hypercapnia, both intermittent hypoxia and continuous hypoxia treatments caused significantly higher levels of haematology parameters than normoxia treatments. Compared to normoxia, intermittent hypoxia with hypercapnia exposure resulted in substantial decrease of serum BDNF and, miR-34a in the lower brainstem, while less pronounced results were found in intermittent hypoxia and continuous hypoxia exposure.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The exposure of intermittent hypoxia with or without hypercapnia, mimicking the situations in severe OSA patients, was associated with, or even promoted tumorigenesis.</p>

Inhibition of central Na(+)/H(+) exchanger type 3 can alleviate sleep apnea in Sprague-Dawley rats / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Recent studies showed the central Na+/H+ exchanger type 3 (NHE3) has a close relationship with ventilation control. The objective of the study is to investigate the role of NHE3 in sleep apnea in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A sleep study was performed on 20 male SD rats to analyze the correlation between the sleep apneic events and total NHE3 protein content and inactive NHE3(pS552) in the brainstem measured by Western blotting. Another 20 adult male SD rats received 3 days of sleep and respiration monitoring for 6 hours a day, with adaption on the first day, 0.5% DMSO microinjection into the fourth ventricle on the second day, and AVE0657 (specific inhibitor of NHE3) microinjection on the third day. Rats were divided into two groups with injection of 5 µmol/L or 8 µmol/L AVE0657 before the sleep study. The effects of AVE0657 on sleep apnea and sleep structure of rats were analyzed through self-control.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The total post-sigh apnea index (TPSAI) and post-sigh apnea index in non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep (NPSAI) and total apnea index (AI) in NREM sleep (NAI) were negatively correlated with NHE3(pS552) protein contents in the brainstem (r = -0.534, -0.547 and -0.505, respectively, P < 0.05). The spontaneous apnea index in REM sleep (RSPAI) was positively correlated with the level of NHE3(pS552) protein expression in the brainstem (r = 0.556, P < 0.05). However, the sleep AI had no relationship with total NHE3 protein. Compared with the blank control and microinjection of 0.5% DMSO, 5 µmol/L AVE0657 significantly reduced the total AI and NPSAI (both P < 0.05) without a significant effect on sleep architecture. In contrast to blank control and microinjection of 0.5% DMSO, injection of 8 µmol/L AVE0657 significantly reduced the AI and PSAI in NREM and REM sleep (all P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The severity of sleep apnea was negatively correlated with central inactive NHE3. A specific inhibitor of NHE3 decreased the sleep AI. Thus, our results indicate that central NHE3 might be a molecular target for sleep apnea treatment, whose inhibitors may be potential therapeutic drugs for sleep apnea.</p>

Expression of 5-HT2A receptor in brainstem affects the occurrence of central sleep apnea in Sprague-Dawley rat / 实用医学杂志

Objective To investigate the correlationship of 5-HT2A receptor expression in the brainstem and sleep apnea in Sprague-Dawley (SD)rat. Method PSG monitoring for sleep and sleep apneas scoring was performed in freely moving SD rats. The level of 5-HT2A protein in rat brainstem was detected by Western blot and the relationship of 5-HT2A level with sleep apneas was analyzed. Results Two types sleep apnea model were obtained in rats, one was post-sigh sleep apnea (PS) and the other was spontaneous apnea (SP). The sleep apnea index was negatively correlated with the amount of 5-HT2A receptor level in brainstem (r=0.672,P 0.05). Conclusion The expression of 5-HT2A receptor in brainstem was negatively correlated with the severity of post-sigh sleep apnea. This association implies that 5-HT 2A receptor plays a critical role in the respiratory network and is closely correlated with the occurrence of central sleep apneas.

The enhancing effect of Angelica dahurica extracts on absorption of baicalin--the active composition of Scutellaria / 药学学报

To explore the mechanism of the absorption enhancement of Angelica dahurica extract (Ade), the absorption mechanism of baicalin in the Scutcllaria water extraction as well as the effect of Angelica dahurica extract on absorption of baicalin were investigated. In order to determine the main absorption site, everted intestinal sac model was used to study the effect of Angelica dahurica extract on the absorption of baicalin at duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon. In situ single pass intestinal perfusion model was performed to study the absorption of various concentrations of baicalin and the effect of Angelica dahurica extract on the absorption of baicalin at the main absorption site. To authenticate the consequence of perfusion by getting the blood from the hepatic portal vein and determine the concentration of the baicalin in the blood. The result showed that baicalin could be absorbed at all of the four intestinal segments with increasing absorption amount per unit as follows: ileum > colon > jejunum > duodenum. The absorption ofbaicalin in the duodenum significantly increased with Angelica dahurica extract, thus, duodenum was chosen to be the studying site. Apparent permeability values (Papp) and absorption rate constant (Ka) of baicalin in the duodenum increased gradually with higher concentrations. When the concentration of baicalin rises to a certain degree, the absorption increase had a saturable process, the absorption of baicalin may be an active transportation. Baicalin may be not a substrate of P-gp as verapamil which had not significantly affected the Papp and Ka of baicalin. The absorption of baicalin in the duodenum significantly increased (P < 0.01) in the two models with Angelica dahurica extract and the concentration of baicalin in the blood from the hepatic portal vein showed that the Angelica dahurica extract can increase the absorption of baicalin.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in the 5'-Upstream Sequence of Chemokine Like Factor and their Association with Asthma / 中国呼吸与危重监护杂志

Objective To detect the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the upstream promoter region of chemokine like factor (CKLF) gene and analyze their possible associations with asthma and asthma-related phenotypes.Methods Direct Sequence of the 1553bp upstream promoter region of CKLF gene was performed in 245 Chinese Han human genomic DNAs (119 asthmatics and 126 controls).The frequencies of alleles, genotypes, and haplotypes were determined and the association of these SNPs with asthmawere further analyzed.Results Fournovel SNPs,SNP88 (T>C),SNPI96 (T>C),SNP568 (C> G) ,and SNP1047 (C > G) were found in the promoter region of CKLF.The frequency of rare allele was 0.168 (SNP88C), 0.168 (SNP196C), 0.352 (SNP568G) and 0.167 (SNP1047G), respectively.Haplotypes,their frequencies and the linkage disequilibrium coefficients between SNPs were constructed.Complete linkage disequilibrium (LDs) were observed between SNP88 and SNP196,SNP88 and SNP1047, as well as SNPI96 and SNP1047 ,respectively (D1 = 1.000,r2 = 1.000).SNP568 was in partial LD with the other three SNPs (r2 = 0.366).No association between asthma and the SNPs was observed.Conclusions Four SNPs in the regulatory region of CKLF in Chinese Han population were firstly identified.Although no significant correlation with asthma was revealed, the SNP and haplotype information is useful for other disease association studies in the future.

Effect of Paroxetine on Sleep Apneas in Sprague-Dawley Rats / 中国呼吸与危重监护杂志

Objective To evaluate the effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) on sleep apneas in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats.Methods Thirty adult male SD rats were randomly divided into two groups (15 rats in each group).The treatment group and the control group were injected intraperitoneally with paroxetine (10 mg · kg-1·d-1) and sterile distilled water (2 mL · kg-1 · d-1) for 7 days respectively.Parameters about sleep apnea and sleep structure were measured before and after the treatment.Results In the treatment group, there was a significant reduction of apnea index (AI) from (12.4±3.7) times/hour to (7.4±2.2) tmes/hour (P = 0.000).Both post sigh apnea index (PSAI) and spontaneous apnea index (SPAI) were decreased significantly (P = 0.000 and 0.021 respectively) in non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, but not in REM sleep.REM sleep was reduced from 8.6% to 8.0% (P = 0.013) and its latency was increased from (54.1±48.4) rain to (110.9±43.4) min (P = 0.001) in the treatment group,as well as the sleep-onset latency [from (20.7±9.1) rain to (30.0±15.7) rain, P = 0.038].Conclusion Paroxetine can reduce sleep apneas in SD rats during NREM sleep.Its effects on sleep structure include reducing REM time,increasing REM latency and sleep-onset latency.

Idiopathic pulmonary alveolar proteinosis:report of three cases and literature review / 北京大学学报(医学版)

To describe the clinical,radiological and pathological characteristics of idiopathic pulmonary alveolar proteinosis(I-PAP)and to evaluate the methods of diagnosis and treatment.Three patients were successfully diagnosed and treated in our hospital and the literature on the subject was reviewed.Three patients,two males and one female(mean age 46 years),were diagnosed averagely in 4 months.Two severe patients presented with progressive dyspnea and type I respiratory failure,and one mild patient only with dry cough and hypoxemia.Chest X-ray radiographs all showed perihilar "butterfly" shadow and chest CT scans showed diffused ground-glass opacities(GGO),typically with "map" changes and "crazy paving" patterns.All the patients underwent bronchoscope,branchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)had grossly opaque and/or milky appearance and its sediment was periodic acid-Schiff stain positive.Transbronchoscopic lung biopsy(TBLB)specimens were obtained and under light microscopy alveoli and some of the small bronchioles were filled with eosinophilic proteinaceous material with needle-like clefts.By electron microscopy numerous cellular debris and extracellular multilamellated bodies were found.Two severe patients were successfully treated with sequential whole-lung lavage and one required repeated lavages.I-PAP is rare and prone to be misdiagnosed.The radiological features may indicate the diagnosis and examinations of TBLB and BALF can make the accurate diagnosis.Whole-lung lavage is the most effective therapy by now and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor(GM-CSF)may be beneficial in some patients.

H_3N_2 subtype of human influenza pneumonia with staphylococcal sepsis and staphylococcal pneumonia:Report of one case / 北京大学学报(医学版)

To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and therapy of influenza pneumonia with staphylococcal infection. One patient in our hospital was diagnosed and the literatures on the subject were reviewed. The patient presented with high fever and dyspnea. Arterial gas analysis indicated type 1 respiratory failure. Chest X ray photographs showed bilateral infiltrations and bilatera encapsulated pleural effusions. Viral separation and culture of pharyngeal swab indicated H3N2 subtype of human influenza virus. Blood, sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cultures showed Staphylococcus aureus. Pleural effusion was complex parapneumonic pleural effusion. After the administration of anti-virus, anti-staphylococcal antibiotics and pleural cavity drainage, the patient was cured. The infection of staphylococcus aureus is a typical characteristic of influenza pneumonia, and anti-staphylococcal antibiotic therapy (with MRSA activity in MRSA endemic regions) should be initiated in hospitalized cases of influenza pneumonia. If complex parapneumonic pleural effusion or empyema complicated, we should perform pleural cavity drainage in time. The oral neuraminidase inhibitor (oseltamivir) could significantly improve prognosis.

A case of marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type / 北京大学学报(医学版)

SUMMARY Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type (pulmonary MALT-MZL), a common kind of primary pulmonary lymphoma, is rare in pulmonary malignant tumors. One patient in our hospital was diagnosed by bronchoscope and the literatures on the subject were reviewed. The patient presented with periodical fever, cough and chest pain, and antibiotic therapy had no use. Chest CT scan showed the consolidation of right middle lobe and left lower lobe with CT angiogram signs, air bronchograms and distended bronchi. Pleural effusion in the left thorax mainly consisted of monocytes. Monoclonal protein was found in the electrophoresis of serum protein. Bronchial stenosis and swollen mucosa were seen with bronchoscope. The tissue section of transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) specimens showed diffusedly infiltrated small lymphocytes and a lymphoepithelial lesion. CD20 was positive and CD3, CD5, CD10, CD21, CD23, bcl2, bcl6 were negative in immunohistochemical stain. The clinical manifestations of pulmonary MALT-MZL are nonspecific and misdiagnosis is common, Appropriate invasive biopsy procedures are necessary for early diagnosis. Presentations such as periodical fever, distended bronchi in pulmonary consolidation, monoclonal protein might indicate diagnosis. Treatment includes surgical resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Pulmonary MALT-MZL belongs to inert lymphoma and prognosis is relatively good.
