ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of morin on LPS induced acute lung injury mouse model and its mechanism .Meth‐ods Thirty male C57B/L mice were randomly divided into control group ,LPS group and LPS+ morin group ,with 10 in each group .5 mg/kg LPS was instilled into the lung from an trachea intubation in LPS group and LPS+morin group .Then the mice in LPS+morin group received an intraperitoneal injection of morin (40 mg/kg) every day for the next 3 d .Others received an equal a‐mount of saline .After 72 h ,the mice were sacrificed .The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected and centrifuged;the sediments were stained with Wright‐Giemsa for total cell and neutrophil count and the supernates were prepared for ELISA .The wet and dry weight of lung was weighed to calculate the wet/dry weight ratio .HE staining was performed to examine the pathologi‐cal change of lung .Western blot was used to determined the expression of TLR4 ,IKK and NF‐κB .Results Intratracheal instillation of LPS successfully established ALI model in mouse .LPS caused significant pathological changes including inflammatory cells infil‐tration ,alveolar septa thickness ,hemorrhage and edema .The wet/dry weight ratio ,the total cell count ,neutrophil count ,TNF and IL‐1βlevel in BALF ,and the expression of TLR4 ,NF‐κB ,and IKK were all increased significantly (P<0 .05) ,which were allevia‐ted by intraperitoneal injection of morin .Conclusion Morin can dampen the inflammatory response during LPS induced ALI in mouse ,which is potentially attributed to its inhibitory effect on the activation of NF‐κB .
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyse the airway reversibility and variability for bronchial asthmatic patients .Methods The status of test positive ratio and combined airflow limitation were analysis for 650 Clinical diagnosed asthmatic patients .527 cases were given bronchial dilation test and 123 cases were given provocative test .Results Positive ratio of 527 cases bronchial dilation test was 41 . 4% .Positive ratio of 123 cases provocative test was 52 .0% .The airflow limitation(FEV1/FVC% <70% ) ratio of total 650 cases was 34 .0% .In the 193 cases of combined airflow limitation patients which was given bronchial dilation test ,the positive ratio of bronchial dilation test was 61 .7% .Conclusion Bronchial dilation test need repeat because of its less sensitivity .The positive ratio of provocative test is not high ,so the patients of provocative test negative couldn′t exclude the diagnosis of asthma .The ratio of bronchial dilation test was high for combined airflow limitation asthmatic patients .Its may clew that the patients combined airflow limitation may be exacerbation and need actively therapy .
