The preventative effects of protein tyrosine kinase on the inflammation and airway remondeling in lung of guinea pigs with bronchial asthma / 中国应用生理学杂志

<p><b>AIM</b>To investigate the effects of protein tyrosine kinase on the inflammation and airway remodeling in lung of guinea pigs with bronchial asthma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>30 adult male guinea pigs were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=3): control group (C group), asthmatic group(A group)and genistein group (B group). Asthmatic model was established by ovalbumin intraperitoneal injection and ovalbumin inhalation. The total cell and the proportion of inflammatory cell in bronchial alveolar lavage fluid(BALF), inflammatory cell infiltration and index of remodeling of bronchiole were measured, respectively. The expression of p-tyrosine in lung tissue was examined by immunohistochemistry.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The total cell and proportion of eosinophil in BALF of A group were significantly higher than that of C group (P < 0.01), but compared with A group, the total cell and proportion of eosinophil in BALF of B group were much lower (P < 0.01). The number of eosinophile and lymphocyte of bronchiole in A group were significantly higher than that of C group (P < 0.01), but compared with A group, the number of eosinophile and lymphocyte in bronchiole of B group were much lower (P < 0.01). Compared with A group, the remodeling of bronchiole of B group was significantly relieved (P <0.01), there was no difference between B and C group (P > 0.05). Immunohistochemistry indicated that in A group the p-tyrosine was more positively expressed at the bronchial smooth muscle, bronchial epithelium, smooth muscle of vessel and inflammatory cell, especially at smooth muscle of bronchi and vessel and inflammatory cell than that of C group (P <0.01), there was no difference between B group and C group (P > 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>PTK played a key role in inflammation and bronchial remodeling in lung of guinea pigs with bronchial asthma. The Protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein could prevent and inhibit the inflammation and bronchial remodeling in lung of guinea pigs with bronchial asthma.</p>

Influence of Inhaled Glucocorticosteroid on ?-Glutamylcysteine Synthetase in Inflammatory Cell of Sputum in Children with Asthma / 实用儿科临床杂志

Objective To explore the influence of inhaled glucocorticosteroid on ?-glutamylcysteine synthetase(?-GCS) in inflammatory cell of sputum in children with asthma.Methods Twenty-two asthmatic children were divided into 2 groups according to treatment.The children who were treated by inhaled budesonide combined with salbutamol were due to group A and the others inhaling salbutamol only were due to group B,the healthy children were acted as healthy control group(group C).The glutation(GSH),total GSH and the activity of ?-GCS in sputum were measured respectively;Expression of ?-GCS in inflammatory cell of sputum were detected by immunohistochemistry;the expression of ?-GCS heavy chain(?-GCS-h) mRNA were detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results 1.The total GSH[(1.08?0.14) ?mol/L] and oxidized glutathione(GSSG)[(0.37?0.09) ?mol/L] were decreased in sputum of group A of post-treatment compared with pre-treatment(Pa
