ABSTRACT
AIM: To study the relation ship between stress and lung injury caused by acute hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis(AHNP) through AHNP model.METHODS: The AHNP model was made by using 5% sodium taurocholate retrograded injection into biliopancreatic duct in SD rats. Those rats were divided into three groups randomly, from A to C, the A group undertook sham operations, the B group was made into AHNP model, and the C group was given Metyrapone. The level of corticosteroid, CRP and amylase in serum had been observed. The lung and pancreas histological examinations were also performed.RESULTS: In C group, the level of corticosteroid, CRP and amylase were much lower than those in B group. The grade of lung and pancreas injury were also lower than those in B group(P

ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the role of CagA and the effect of small interference RNA (siRNA) on the release of IL-8 in H. pylori-infected gastric epithelial cells. METHODS: siRNA were transferred into CagA positive strain H. pylori NCTC 11637 by using electroporation. The CagA positive strain NCTC 11637 and the CagA negative strain NCTC 11639 were co-cultured with gastric epithelial cells and the level of IL-8 in the supernatant was measure by ELISA. RT-PCR and Western blotting were performed to detect CagA expression. RESULTS: The level of IL-8 induced by CagA positive strain NCTC 11637 was higher than the level induced by CagA negative strain NCTC 11639 ( 1 200.00 ?32.51) ng/L vs (100.00?8.58) ng/L, P0.05). Meanwhile, CagA mRNA decreased significantly in siRNAⅢgroup. The levels of CagA mRNA at 6, 12, and 24 h after electroporation were 31.3% (0.270/0.861), 57.6% (0.496/0.861), and 73.9% (0.637/0.861) of the control levels, respectively. Inhibition rate by siRNAⅢ was 68.7%. The Western blotting result in siRNA Ⅲ group showed that the level of CagA protein degraded to 30.7% (0.4/1.3) at 12 h after electroporation. In siRNA V group, the expression of CagA mRNA at 6 h is suppressed by 23.1% (P
