Effect of Lianhuaqingwen capsules on inflammatory cytokines and junction protein expression in mice with acute lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharides / 中国药理学与毒理学杂志

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of Lianhuaqingwen capsules ( LHQW ) on junction protein expression in mouse lung tissue of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury ( ALl). METHODS 120 male mice were randomly divided into six groups: normal control, model, model+dexa-methasone 5 mg.kg-1 , model +LHQW 2, 4 and 8 g.kg-1 groups. Dexamethasone and LHQW were administered orally, once daily, for 7 d. 24 h after the last administration, LPS solution was instilled into the tracheas of mice except the normal control group to prepare the mouse model of ALl. 24 h after the establishment of the ALl model, the mice were sacrificed and the pathological changes in the mouse lung tissue were observed by optical microscopy and ultrastructure of alveolar epithelium was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The cell percentage of positive expression of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in the peripheral blood T lymphocytes was detected by flow cytometry. The expressions of con-nexin 43 ( Cx43), occludin and zonula occludens protein-1 ( ZO-1) in lung tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Under the light microscope, the mouse lung of model group showed a large amount of inflammatory cell infiltration and alveolar wall thickening. Compared with model group, inflammatory cell infiltration was reduced in model+dexamethasone, model+LHQW 2,4 and 8 mg.kg-1 groups. Under the electron microscope, the mouse alveolar epithelial cells of model group showed injury. Compared with model group, the damage was reduced in model+dexamethasone, and model+LHQW 2, 4 and 8 mg.kg-1 groups. The cell percentage of TNF-α positive expression in peripheral blood T lympho-cytes in normal control, model, model+dexamethasone, model+LHQW 2,4 and 8 mg.kg-1 groups was (3.6±0.9)%, (6.4±0.8)%, (2.8±0.7)%, (4.7±1.6)%, (4.0±1.5)% and (3.6±1.2)%, respectively. The percentage in model group was obviously higher than that in normal control group( P<0.01), but was lower in the four drug treatment groups than in model group(P<0.05, P<0.01). The expression of Cx43, occludin and ZO-1 in lung tissue of model group was lower than that of normal control group(P<0.01), but higher in model+dexamethasone, model + LHQW 4 and 8 mg.kg-1 groups than in model group(P<0.05). CONCLUSION LHQW may alleviate ALl induced by LPS and play a protective role by inhibiting inflammatory cell infiltration and improving protein connection expression in alveolar epithelial cells and pulmonary vascular endothelial cells.

Screening and characterization of aptamers of Cepsilon3-Cepsilon4 protein / 药学学报

In order to obtain nucleotides aptamers bind to IgE, 80 bp nucleotides single-stranded DNA library containing 40 random nucleotides was designed and synthesized. Oligonucleotides that bind to human Cepsilon3-Cepsilon4 protein were isolated from ssDNA pools by the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) method using nitrocellulose filters as screening medium. Through the optimization of critical PCR and asymmetric PCR parameters including annealing temperature, cycles, and molar ratios of target protein and ssDNA etc, a suitable screening system was established. The aptamers of Cepsilon3-Cepsilon4 protein with high affinity and high specificity were identified by ELISA with biotin-streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase system, and its primary sequence and second structure were analyzed by DNAMAN package and DNA folding sever after being cloned and sequenced. Moreover, target protein was bound to one aptamer and another aptamer modified with biotion together forming a sandwich-like complex, which was captured in microwell to detect IgE concentration using the optimal combination in the sandwich method named enzyme-linked aptamers sorption assay (ELASA). The method could be used for the quantitative detection of human IgE, and whose sensitivity reached to 120 ng x mL(-1).

To investigate the status of the evidence-based medicine (EBM) information services of the hospital libraries in Hebei Province. The preliminary survey data indicated that a certain objective needs exists for hospital libraries to offer the EBM information service to the medical staff. The lack of service consciousness and EBM knowledge of the librarians, as well as the insufficient EBM information in-house resources are the major restraining factors. However, the advantage exists on search capabilities and time. According to the survey, there is no condition to offer exacting clinical evidence searching services by the hospital libraries in Hebei province at the present. The hospital libraries should deepen the existing literature services to the physicians based on the concept of EBM and search the literature efficiently.

Establishment of a rat chronic asthma model and its evaluation / 药学学报

This study is to establish a rat chronic asthma model. Sensitive SD rats were selected through histamine challenge. The asthmatic groups were sensitized by ih and ip with OVA, aluminium hydroxide gel and inactivated bacillus pertussis on day 1 and 14. From day 21, acute asthmatic group was aerosolized 1% OVA for 1 week, chronic asthmatic group was aerosolized 0.1% OVA for 12 weeks. The control groups received saline as the substitution of OVA. Twenty four hours after the last provocation, physiological monitoring equipment was used to detect the pulmonary function, then the rats were sacrificed. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected to calculate the ratio of different inflammatory cells. ELISA was used to detect total IgE and OVA-specific IgE in serum. Microscopy was conducted to observe the histopathology of lung stained with haematoxylin and eosin staining. Collagen fibers were detected using Picric acid-Sirius red staining technique. The optical density at 610 nm of extractive from locus caeruleus was detected by passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA). The results showed that the asthmatic characteristics were significantly developed in model groups, but not in control groups. Chronic asthmatic group had significantly higher indexes than acute asthmatic group, including the thickness of airway smooth muscle and bronchial basement membrane, and goblet cell hyperplasia, the area of collagen in airways, A610 of extractive from locus caeruleus, the concentration of total IgE and OVA-specific IgE in serum. However, inflammatory cell infiltrate in lungs and the percentage of eosinophils of white blood cells in BALF were lower in chronic asthmatic group than those in acute asthmatic group. Respiratory rate and respiratory flow showed no significant difference in both model groups. In conclusion, the rat chronic asthma model is established by the way in this study, which is comparable to the physiopathologic characteristics of human asthma.

The relation of aquaporinl gene expression and kidney injury in rats with disseminated intravascular coagulation / 中华急诊医学杂志

Objective To characterize the effects of AQP1 expression on kidney damage in rat disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC) caused by lipopolysaccharide(LPS) dosing. Method Fifty male Wistar rats (clean grade) were randomly assigned into 5 groups of 10 rats. The 10 control rats were dosed with 10 ml of 0.9%NaCl solution by a drip via the vena caudalis within 4 h, and blood and tissues were obtained after treatment completion. In the DIC groups, the rats were dosed with LPS (30 mg/kg body weight in 10 ml of 0.9% NaCl solution) by a drip via the vena caudalis within 4 h, and blood and tissues were obtained at 4, 6, 8 and 10 h. The blood platelet(PLT) count, prothrombin time(PT) , activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT), fibrin(FIB) and D-dimer(D-D) were detected. Hematoxylin and eosin(HE) staining was used to examine the pathologic changes in the lung and kidney tissues of each group (both hematologic parameters and tissue pathologic changes were used to judge the course of DIC). The AQP1 gene expression levels in the kidney tissues from the groups were evaluated by the mRNA levels using RT-PCR. Statistical analyses were performed by the SNK- q method. Results The PLT count, PT, APTT, FIB and D-D examinations revealed remarkable changes in all DIC groups compared with the control group (P < 0.01). The AQP1 mRNA level was significantly decreased in the DIC group at 4 h compared with the control group (P < 0.01) , and further decreased to the minimum level in the DIC group at 6 h. Moreover, cloudy swelling of renal tubular cells was observed at 6 h and cell degeneration and necrosis were observed at 8 h among the DIC groups. Conclusions Downregulation of AQP1 mRNA expression occurred before damage to the renal tubular cells in DIC, indicating that AQP1 expression may be involved in the kidney damage observed in rat DIC.
