ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical therapeutic effects of lung protective ventilation and sequential recruitment maneuver (RM) on treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods Sixty patients with SAP complicated with ARDS admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from April 2014 to March 2016 were enrolled. They were divided into control group and experimental group by random number table, 30 patients in each group. On the basis of comprehensive treatment, the patients in control group were treated with lung protective ventilation mode: low tidal volume ventilation (6 mL/kg) + optimal end-expiratory positive pressure (PEEP) ventilation mode, when the intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) was essentially returned to a normal level (Ⅰ grade intra-abdominal hypertension), the patients in experimental group were treated by the combination with RM therapy, and the rest treatment was the same as the control group. Under the two types of ventilation strategies, the clinical effects, respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics and arterial blood gas indexes were compared between the two groups. Results The mechanical ventilation time (days: 13.82±4.40 vs. 19.87±7.40), the length of ICU stay (days:22.67±4.40 vs. 26.43±5.39) and incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia [VAP: 16.67% (5/30) vs. 26.67% (8/30)] of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group (all P < 0.05), the mortality rate of the experimental group was slightly lower than that of the control group [26.67% (8/30) vs. 30.00% (9/30)] without statistical significance (P > 0.05). Plateau pressure (Pplat) and the peak airway pressure (PIP) at each time point were decreased after treatment in both groups, while the static lung compliance (Cst), the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) were increased compared with those before treatment, especially the changes at 72 hours after recruitment in the experimental group were more significant than those in the control group [Pplat (cmH2O, 1 cmH2O = 0.098 kPa):15.6±4.0 vs. 21.2±5.6, PIP (cmH2O): 18.3±5.0 vs. 25.1±5.4, Cst (mL/cmH2O): 41.2±4.8 vs. 31.2±6.0, PaO2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 90.93±6.45 vs. 80.27±4.51, PaO2/FiO2 (mmHg): 238.33±18.31 vs. 185.83±11.14]. Heart rate [HR (bpm): 110.23±7.92 vs. 98.23±8.44] and the central venous pressure [CVP (mmHg): 8.62±1.52 vs. 6.32±1.42] were significantly higher than those before treatment, the mean arterial pressure [MAP (mmHg): 86.74±7.65 vs. 94.92±10.93] and cardiac output [CO (L/min): 5.32±1.36 vs. 6.42±1.32] were significantly reduced compared with those before treatment (all P < 0.05). The values of HR, MAP, CVP, CO at 5 minutes after recruitment were (97.87±5.77) bpm, (94.54±6.87) mmHg, (6.33±1.44) mmHg, (6.32±1.41) L/min, respectively. The changes of these parameters were not significant when compared with those of the basal conditions (P > 0.05) Conclusions Based on the lung protective ventilation in the early stage, sequential RM is applied in treatment of patients with SAP complicated with ARDS, after the IAP is essentially returned to a normal, which is beneficial to improving lung compliance, promoting oxygenation, shortening the time of mechanical ventilation, reducing the length of ICU stay, and decreasing the incidence of VAP without any obvious hemodynamic influence.

ABSTRACT
AIM:To investigate the role of microRNA-132 (miR-132) on alveolar macrophage inflammation. METHODS: Rat alveolar macrophage cell line NR8383 was transfected with miR-132 mimic, mimic negative control ( NC) , miR-132 inhibitor, or inhibitor NC.The cells were divided into transfection group, transfection +lipopolysaccha-ride ( LPS) group, and transfection +LPS +acetylcholine ( ACh) group.The mRNA expression of acetylcholinesterase ( AChE) was detected by real-time PCR.The protein levels of AChE, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3) in the cells, and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in the cytoplasm and nu-cleus were analyzed by Western blot.The activity of AChE in the culture supernatant was measured by AChE activity assay kit.The nuclear translocation of NF-κB was detected by immunofluorescence assay.RESULTS: Up-regulation or down-regulation of miR-132 had no effect on the mRNA expression of AChE.However, up-regulation of miR-132 decreased the protein level of AChE compared with mimic NC group (P<0.05).Transfection with miR-132 inhibitor increased the pro-tein expression of AChE compared with inhibitor NC group ( P<0.05 ) .In the alveolar macrophages treated with LPS+ACh, the inhibition of nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 in miR-132 mimic group was more effective than that in mimic NC group ( P<0.05) .The inhibitory effect in miR-132 inhibitor group was weaker than that in inhibitor NC group ( P<0.05 ) .The inhibitory effect of miR-132 mimic on the protein levels of STAT3 and p-STAT3 was stronger than that of mimic NC (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:miR-132 in LPS-stimulated alveolar macrophages reinforced ACh-mediated anti-inflam-matory reaction by targeting AChE to suppress ACh hydrolyzation, which was related to the suppression of NF-κB and STAT3 activation.

ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of acetylcholine (ACh) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced inflammatory model of rat alveolar macrophages, and to observe the effect of the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor physostigmine (Phy) on the anti-inflammatory effect of ACh.Methods The rat alveolar macrophages NR8383 were cultured in vitro, which were divided into five groups: blank control group, LPS group (stimulated with 1 mg/L LPS for 12 hours), LPS+ ACh group (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100μmol/L of ACh were added for 5 minutes before LPS stimulation), LPS+ Phy group (1 mmol/L Phy was added for 5 minutes before LPS stimulation), and LPS+ ACh+ Phy group (1 mmol/L Phy and 10μmol/L ACh were added for 5 minutes before LPS stimulation). The supernatants were collected in each group, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to assay the contents of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukins (IL-1β, and IL-6). The activity of acetylcholine esterase (AChE ) in the supernatant was also determined.Results① The contents of TNF-α (ng/L: 605.09±57.13 vs. 34.07±8.62), IL-1β (ng/L: 377.09±28.55 vs. 32.33±10.62) and IL-6 (ng/L: 558.04±77.45 vs. 42.62±11.21) in the LPS group were significantly higher than those in the blank control group (allP 0.05). Nevertheless, 10μmol/L and 100μmol/L ACh notably reduced the production of TNF-α (ng/L: 451.19±30.67, 332.19±32.19 vs. 604.96±22.56), IL-1β(ng/L: 261.08±24.78, 143.98±28.39 vs. 367.06±10.44) and IL-6 (ng/L: 342.75±54.60, 235.48±29.75 vs. 562.69±63.34) in the culture supernatants compared with the LPS group (allP< 0.05).③ The activity of AChE in the LPS group was significantly higher than that in the blank control group (kU/L: 5.21±0.63 vs. 3.09±0.10,P< 0.05). The activity of AChE was successfully inhibited by 1 mmol/L acetylcholinesterase inhibitor Phy pretreatment compared with that in the LPS group (1.51±0.12 vs. 5.21±0.63,P< 0.05).④ The level of TNF-α (ng/L: 183.17±35.44 vs. 451.19±30.67), IL-1β (ng/L: 91.49±12.27 vs. 261.08±24.78) and IL-6 (ng/L: 108.17±22.82 vs. 342.75±54.60) in the culture supernatants of LPS+ ACh+ Phy group was significantly decreased as compared with LPS+ ACh group (allP< 0.05).Conclusions ACh with the final concentrations of 10μmol/L and 100μmol/L can inhibit the LPS induced inflammatory reaction in alveolar macrophages. The acetylcholinesterase inhibitor Phy can reinforce the ACh-mediated anti-inflammatory effect on alveolar macrophages inflammatory model.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of transfected microRNA-146a (miR-146a) on mice with sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in vivo.Methods Twenty-four healthy male BALB/C mice were randomly divided into sham group, sepsis group, transfection group and transfection control group, eachn = 6. Mice in transfection group were given miR-146a agomir loaded by in vivo-jetPEITM via airway before reproduction of model, and mice in transfection control group were given negative control loaded by in vivo-jetPEITM only via airway. The septic model was reproduced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) 12 hours after transfection , and the mice in the sham group underwent laparotomy and closure only without ligation and puncture of the cecum. The mice of each group were sacrificed at 24 hours post-operation. The expression of miR-146a in lung tissue was determined by real time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and the quantity of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The wet/dry ratio of lung (W/D) was determined. The pathohistological changes in the lung were observed and scored. Results The expression of miR-146a showed a significant increase in sepsis group, transfection group and transfection control group, which were (3.56±0.43), (27.64±3.46) and (3.72±0.54) folds of that in sham group, respectively (P 0.05). Compared with the sham group, higher level of TNF-αin the BALF was found in the sepsis group, transfection group and transfection control group (ng/L: 511.65±43.47, 305.74±34.76, 492.27±42.21 vs. 50.72±7.23, allP< 0.01). The level of TNF-α in transfection group was significantly lower than that in sepsis group and transfection control group (bothP< 0.01). Compared with the sham group, the W/D ratio of lung in sepsis group, transfection group and transfection control group showed a significant increase (6.11±0.32, 5.02±0.29, 6.05±0.43 vs. 4.18±0.10, allP< 0.01). The W/D ratio of lung in transfection group was significantly lower than that of sepsis group and transfection control group (bothP< 0.01). The lung injury score of transfection group was significantly lower than that of sepsis group and transfection control group (6.12±0.75 vs. 10.53±1.52, 9.73±1.08, bothP< 0.01).Conclusions miR-146a agomir loaded by in vivo-jetPEITM instillation into airway was able to increase the expression of miR-146a in the lung tissue of septic mice. Up-regulation of miR-146a inhibit the release of the inflammatory cytokine TNF-α stimulated by sepsis, and alleviate inflammatory reaction and lung tissue injury in mice with sepsis-induced ALI.

Objective To discuss the effects of proteinase-activated receptor-2( PAR-2 )agonists on intestinal SIgA levels in rats with severe acute necrotizing pancreatitis( SAP). Methods This study established SAP rat model and observed the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in intestinal mucosa,SIgA content in intestinal mucus and histopathological changes of intestinal mucosa 6,12,and 24 h after establishment of model. The univariate analysis was used to compare the difference among groups. Linear correlation analysis was used to compare correlation between inflammatory mediators( TNF-α,IL-6 )and SIgA content in intestinal mucus,as well as the histopathological scores of intestinal mucosa. Results The level of TNF-α and IL-6 in intestinal mucosa and histopathological scores of intestinal mucosa were all significantly increased but SIgA content was decreased in model group at each time point after establishment of model,as compared with the sham-operated group(P﹤0. 05). The level of TNF-α and IL-6 in intestinal mucosa and histopathological scores of intestinal mucosa were all significantly decreased while SIgA content in intestinal mucus increased in pretreatment group at each time point after establishment of model,as compared with the model group(P﹤0. 05). There was a positive relationship between inflammatory mediators(TNF-α,IL-6)in intestinal mucosa and histopathological scores of intestinal mucosa(P﹤0. 01). There was a negative relationship between inflammatory mediators(TNF-α,IL-6)and SIgA content in intestinal mucus(P﹤0. 05). Conclusion Intestinal mucosa immune barrier was impaired in the early stage of SAP in rats. PAR-2 agonist has therapeutic effects on intestinal mucosa immune barrier,which is related to the inhibition of excessive release of inflammatory mediators( TNF-α and IL-6)in rats with SAP.
ABSTRACT
Objective To determine kinetics of TNF-α and miR-146a (microRNA-146a)expressions in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced NR8383 alveolar macrophages (AM) at different intervals and their relationships in order to explore regulatory effect and mechanism of miR-146a on alveolar macrophages inflammatory responses.Methods NR8383 alveolar macrophages were seeded in a 6-well plate,and stimulated with 1 μg/ml of LPS for 0 h,3 h,6 h and 12 h separately after 90 min.Cells were harvested and supernatant were collected 0 h,3 h,6 h and 12 h after incubation.The expressions of miR146a and TNF-α mRNA in cells were detected by real-time qPCR and the levels of TNF-α protein in the supematant of cells were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ).Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between miR-146a and TNF-α mRNA.Results ①The level of TNF-α protein in the supernatant of cell was significantly increased 3 h after LPS challenge ( 359.80 ±57.54) pg/ml (P ＜0.01 ),and peaked 12 h later (729.22 ±50.40) pg/ml (P＜0.01 ) ; ②the expression of TNF-α mRNA peaked 3 h after LPS challenge (67.48 ±24.52) fold,P ＜0.01 ),and then decreased gradually; ③the expression of miR-146a mRNA increased continuously until 6 h or 12 h after LPS challenge 6 h:(5.33 ±0.81) fold,12 h:(8.21 ±1.19) fold,(P＜0.01),and it showed an upward tendency;④ the expression of miR-146a mRNA was negatively correlated with TNF-α mRNA ( r =-0.895,P ＜0.01).Conclusions The miR-146a mRNA showed a negative correlation with TNF-α mRNA present in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated alveolar macrophages,suggesting miR-146a mRNA involved in regulating the inflammatory response of alveolar macrophages.

It hints miR-146a may be involved in the regulation of the inflammatory responses produced by alveolar macrophages.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effects of recruitment maneuver (RM) strategy on respiratory mechanics and extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) in patients with ARDS. Method Thirty patients with ARDS were randomly divided into RM group and non-RM group. In the RM group, the patients were stabilized with basic mechanical ventilation support for 30 minutes, and then the RM was carried out and repeated once every 12 hous for 3 days. In the non-RM group, patients were supported with mechanical ventilation without RM. The variables of oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2), peak inspiration pressure (PIP), plateau pressure (Pplat), static pulmonary compliance (Cst) and EVLWI of patients in both groups were determined before treatment and 12 h,24 h, 48 h and 72 h after treatment, and were compared them between two groups. The hemodynamic changes were monitored before and after RM.One-way ANOVA, t -test and Fisher probabilities in 2/2 table were used to process the data. Results ( 1 ) The PaO2/FiO2 and Cst in two groups showed upward trend after treatment, but they were higher in RM group than those in non-RM group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). The PIP and Pplat of two groups both had downward trend after treatment, but they were significantly lower in RM group than those in group non-RM (P ＜0.05). (2) The EVLWI of two groups showed downward trend after treatment ( P ＜ 0.05), and the differences were significant at all intervals (F: 22.392, 8.147, P ＜ 0.01). The EVLWIs in group RM were lower than those in group non-RM at the intervals of 12 h,24 h, 48 h and 72 h separately (P ＜0.05 or P ＜ 0.01). (3) There were transient hemodynamic changes occurred during RM, and compared with pre-RM, the changes were significantly different ( P＜ 0.01 ). Compared with pre-RM, the hemodynanic changes were not significantly different 120 seconds after the end of RM ( P ＞ 0.05). Conclusions RM could reduce the EVLWI, increase oxygenation and lung compliance.The effect of RM on hemodynamics was transient.
