β1 receptor blocker decreases the myocardial inflammation in the sepsis adult rats through inhibition of TLR4/NF-ΚB signaling pathway / 中华危重病急救医学

OBJECTIVE@#To explore whether β1 receptor blocker could decrease the myocardial inflammation through the Toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-ΚB (TLR4/NF-ΚB) signaling pathway in the sepsis adult rats.@*METHODS@#Sixty male Wistar rats (250-300 g) aged 3 months old were allocated to four groups by random number table (n = 15): sham operation group (S group), sepsis model group (CLP group), β1 receptor blocker esmolol intervention group (ES group), and inhibitor of the TLR4 E5564 intervention group (E5564 group). The rat sepsis model was established by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP); S group of rats underwent only an incision. Rats in S group, CLP group and E5564 group were subcutaneous injected with 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) 2.0 mL/kg. Besides, the rats in ES group were injected with esmolol (15 mg×kg-1×h-1) by micro pump through the caudal vein. The rats in E5564 group were injected with E5564 (0.3 mg×kg-1×h-1) by micro pump through the caudal vein 1 hour before the CLP surgery. Samples were collected 6 hours after the modelling in each group. The average arterial pressure (MAP) and cardiac output index (CI) were monitored by PU electrical conduction ECG monitor. The levels of serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expressions of TLR4, NF-ΚB p65, IL-1β, TNF-α in myocardial tissue was detected by Western Blot.@*RESULTS@#There was no significant difference in MAP in each group. Compared with the S group, the CI in the CLP group was significantly decreased, the levels of serum cTnI, IL-1β, TNF-α were significantly increased, the protein expressions of myocardial tissue TLR4, NF-ΚB p65, IL-1β and TNF-α were significantly increased. Compared with the CLP group, the CI in the ES group and E5564 group were significantly increased (mL×s-1×m-2: 58.6±4.3, 58.9±4.4 vs. 41.2±3.9, both P < 0.01), the levels of serum cTnI, IL-1β and TNF-α were significantly decreased [cTnI (μg/L): 1 113.81±26.64, 1 115.74±25.90 vs. 1 975.96±42.74; IL-1β (ng/L): 39.6±4.3, 38.9±4.4 vs. 61.2±3.9; TNF-α (ng/L): 43.1±2.8, 48.7±2.6 vs. 81.3±4.4, all P < 0.01], the protein expressions of myocardial tissue NF-ΚB p65, IL-1β, TNF-α were significantly decreased (NF-ΚB p65/β-actin: 0.31±0.03, 0.43±0.04 vs. 0.85±0.08; IL-1β/β-actin: 0.28±0.05, 0.32±0.03 vs. 0.71±0.06; TNF-α/β-actin: 0.18±0.04, 0.28±0.03 vs. 0.78±0.07, all P < 0.01), but there was no significant difference in protein expression of TLR4 (TLR4/β-actin: 0.89±0.07, 0.87±0.09 vs. 0.95±0.09, both P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in CI, the levels of serum cTnI, IL-1β, TNF-α, and the protein expressions of myocardial tissue TLR4, NF-ΚB p65, IL-1β, TNF-α between ES group and E5564 group (all P > 0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#β1 receptor blocker esmolol may inhibit myocardial inflammatory response in sepsis adult rats through TLR4/NF-ΚB signaling pathway, thereby alleviating sepsis-induced myocardial injury.

Study of PIK3CA gene mutation status in different clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer / 国际检验医学杂志

Objective To detect the mutation status of PIK3CA genes in breast cancer and to analyze its relation with clinico‐pathological characteristics .Methods The paraffin tissue samples in 176 cases of breast cancer were selected and the tissue DNA was extracted ,exon9 and exon20 were amplified by ARMS‐PCR .The mutation status of PIK3CA genes were detected ,other tissue samples in 20 cases of mammary gland disease were taken as the negative control .Results Among 176 samples of breast cancer tis‐sues ,45 cases of mutation were found with the mutation rate of 25 .6% ,which was dominated by H1047R mutation rate of exon20 with the mutation rate of 26 .7% (12/45);There were statistical difference between ER (+ ) and ER(-) and between PR(+ ) and PR(-) ,but no statistical difference was found between HER (+ ) and HER(-);PIK3CA gene mutation had correlation with cancer histological grade ,but no obvious correlation with tumor size ,age and lymph node status .Conclusion PIK3CA gene muta‐tion is correlated with breast cancer hormone receptor (HR) expression and tumor progression ;the PIK3CA gene mutation detection has an important significance for guiding the formulation of clinical indiidualized treatment .

Clinical value of serum tumor markers SCC and TSGF in cervix carcinoma diagnose / 实用医学杂志

Objective To explore the clinical value of squamous cell carcinoma associated antigen (SCC) and tumor specific growth factor (TSGF) in cervical carcinoma. diagnose. Methods The serum samples of SCC and TSGF were collected from 40 health volunteers, 56 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) patients and 101 squamous cell cervical cancer patients. SCC and TSGF amount were measured by MEIA and biochemistry olorimetry method respectively, and were compared. Results The mean level of serum SCC and TSGF in the cervical cancer group was (6.95 ± 1.23) ng/mL and (81.0 ± 16.3)U/mL respectively, significantly higher than that in the CIN group and control group. The sensitivity and accuracy of combining SCC with TSGF in diagnosing cervical carcinoma were 91.1%and 87.4% respectively, both higher than allying SCC or TSGF alone. Conclusions SCC and TSGF levels are helpful in the diagnosis of cervix carcinoma. The combined determination can improve the sensitivity and accuracy of cervical carcinoma diagnose.
