Objective To explore clinical significance of interleukin-8 (IL-8), clarada protein 16 (CC16), and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) and serum samples collected from patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods A total of 45 ARDS patients were assigned into a mild ARDS group (n=20), a moderate ARDS group (n=15) and a severe ARDS group (n=10) based on the Berlin definition. During the same study period, 45 healthy subjects were recruited as control. Serum and EBC levels of IL-8, CC16 and ICAM-1 were detected on the first and fifth day of admission. Results Compared with the control group, serum and EBC IL-8, CC16 and ICAM-1 were significantly higher in the ARDS groups (P<0.05). Serum and EBC IL-8 levels increased with the severity of ARDS, whereas no significant difference was detected between the three groups (P>0.05). Compared with the mild group and the moderate group, serum and EBC CC16 levels were significantly higher in the severe ARDS group. At the first day after admission, serum ICAM-1 was higher in the severe and moderate ARDS groups than that in the mild ARDS group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, EBC ICAM-1 was significantly different between the three groups (P<0.05). At the fifth day after admission, different EBC ICAM-1 was identified between the severe ARDS group and the other two groups (P<0.05). Regardless of ARDS severity, there were no significant differences in serum and EBC IL-8 and CC16 levels at the first and fifth days after admission (P>0.05). However, serum and EBC ICAM-1 at the first and fifth days showed significant difference (except in the mild ARDS group) (P<0.05). The levels of ICAM-1 in serum and EBC of death group were significantly higher than those of survival group (P<0.05). Conclusion Serum and EBC IL-8, CC16 and ICAM-1 are of significance in diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of ARDS.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of glutamine to the aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in rat injured by acetic acid. Methods Thirty Wistar rats were averagely divided into three groups: control group, acetic acid group and glutamine group. The colon of the rat was infused with 1% acetic acid. Started to gavage with glutamate two days after modeling glutamine group. The injured colons were studied after fourteen days with light and scanning electronic microscope. Paraffin sections of specimens were prepared and stained with HE. The colon crypts were isolated by HCl digestion method. The expressions of CD44 and ICAM-1 in the epithelial cell of the large intestine mucosa were detected by immunohistochemistry method. Results On the days of 14， the number of ACF in the glutamine group were remarkably decreased as compared with that of the acetic acid group and a branch-like. The expressions of ICAM-1 and CD44 (every 1 000 cells) were 302.1±30.1 and 298.6±28.3 in glutamine group, 223.6±23.5 and 221.5±28.6 in control group, 198.5±19.5 and 215.3±17.8 in acetic acid group, respectively. While the expressions of CD44 and ICAM-1 in intestine were increased remarkably in the glutamine group compared with the control group and acetic acid group (P＜0.05). Conclusion Glutamine could decrease the formation of the ACF injured by acetic acid. Increasing the expressions of CD44 and ICAM-1 may be one of the important factors to decrease the ACF.
Objective To observe the protective effect on rat lung by using N-acetyl-L-cysteine(NAC) a inhibiter of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) in the period of reperfusion. Methods Twenty-four rats were randomly divided into a control group and a trail group.The harvested lung blocks of 12 rats were flushed with and stored in the low-potassium-dextran (LPD) solution at 4℃ for 16 hours. The isolated rat lung reperfusion models were established and the donor lungs were perfused for 1 hour. NAC was used in the trail group but normal saline was used in control group. Partical pressure of oxygen in artery (PaO2), peak airway pressure (PawP) were measured at every 15 min intervals during reperfusion. After reperfusion, the lung tissue wet-to-dry(W/D)ratio, and myeloperoxidase(MPO) activity were obtained. The protein and mRNA expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1), NF-κB were also observed by using immunohistochemistry and semi-quantitative RT-PCR at the end of reperfusion. Results The level of decreased PaO2 and increased PawP in trail group were lower than those in control group at every interval time the sample obtained after reperfusion in 60 min. (Plt;0.01 or lt;0.05). After reperfusion the W/D,MPO, the protein and mRNA expressions of ICAM-1, NF-κB were decreased evidently in trail group than those in control group(Plt;0.01 or lt;0.05). Conclusion Using NAC in the period of reperfusion, can effectively inhibit the expression of NF-κB and ICAM-1,further improve lung respiratory functions.
Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of modified ultrafiltration on attenuating the inflammatory reaction and endothelial cell activation or damage after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods Forty patients undergoing cardiac operation with CPB were randomly divided into two groups. Ult rafiltration group ( n = 20) : patients underwent modified ultrafiltration after CPB; control group ( n = 20 ) : without ultrafiltration. Plasma concentrations of soluble intercellular adhesion molecules-1 ( s ICAM -1) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and radioimmunity pre-operat ively (baseline) , at the end of CPB, 4h and 24h post-operatively in both groups. Results The concentrations of sICAM -1 in the cont rol group at 4h and 24h po st-operatively were higher than those pre-operatively (P lt; 0. 01). The concentrations sICAM -1 in the ultrafiltrat ion group in pre-operatively and at the end of CPB were not significantly different from that of the control group, but they were lower at 4h and 24h post-operatively (269. 6±33. 8Lg/L vs. 409. 6±37. 3Lg/L , 245. 9±32. 2Lg/L vs. 379. 3±35. 7Lg/L ; P lt; 0. 01). In the ultrafiltration group, the concentration of TN F-α at the end of CPB and 4h post-operatively were higher than that pre-operatively (P lt; 0. 01). The concent rations of TNF-α in the ultrafiltration group at 24h post-operatively recoved to the pre-operative level (0. 177±0. 024Lg/L vs. 0. 172±0. 030Lg/L ; P gt;0.05). In the control group, the concentration of TN F-α was higher at the end of CPB than that pre-operatively (P lt;0.01) , and decreased slightly at 4h and 24h post-operatively, but remained higher than those pre-operat ively (0. 264±0.045Lg/L vs. 0.174±0.033Lg/L , 0.218±0.028Lg/L vs. 0.174±0. 033Lg/L ; P lt; 0. 05). Conclus ion CPB is known to induce inflammatory reaction and endothelial cell activation or damage. Modified ultrafiltration appears to attenuate these adverse reactions and is beneficial to postoperative convalescence.
ObjectiveTo study the clinical value of changes of serumα-fetoprotein(AFP) and soluble cell adhesion molecule-1(sICAM-1) levels before and after surgical treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma(PHC) as predictors of patient survival. MethodsThe clinical data and followed-up results of 86 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma received hepatectomy or radiofrequency ablation(RFA) in Xijing Hospital and the 451st Hospital of PLA were retrospectivly analyzed. The changes of peripheral blood AFP and sICAM-1 levels in patients before and in 1 month after treatment were observed and all patients were divided into different groups according to the changes in both two markers. Then survival rates of each group were analyzed. ResultsThe patients with AFP < 20μg/L or sICAM-1 < 1 000 U/L before treatment had lower tumor recurrence rate and higher survival rate than patients with elevated serum levels of the both markers(AFP:P=0.018, P < 0.001;sICAM-1:P=0.027, P < 0.001). The larger tumor, late TNM stage, and higher rate of recurrence were associated with elevated serum levels of the both markers(AFP:P=0.016, P=0.026 and P=0.025;sICAM-1:P < 0.001, P=0.024 and P=0.032). The better survival situation was closely related with these cases treated with hepatectomy and their levels of both markers were lower than the above cutoff values both before and after treatment, or leves of both markers above the cut-off values returned to within the normal range after treatment (AFP:P=0.006, P=0.001;sICAM-1:P=0.001, P=0.002). The patients who had simultaneous increase of AFP and sICAM-1 after operation showed the worst tumor-free and overall survivals(P=0.007, P < 0.001). ConclusionTo test the changes of serum AFP and sICAM-1 levels in early stage after treatment for patients who received radical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma has good clinical value for monitoring of tumor recurrence and predict prognosis.
【Abstract】Objective To investigate the effects of human interlukin-13 (hIL-13) on the expression of E-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) on bovine aortic endothelial cells(BAECs) stimulated by tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α), and to provide experimental basis for hIL-13 inducing immunity endure and relieving the repulsion reaction of xenograft. Methods BAECs were co-cultured with different concentrations of hIL-13 for 2 h and followed by co-cultured with 4 ng/ml TNF-α for 6 h or 18 h. The expressions of E-selectin and ICAM-1 on BAECs were detected by Cell-ELISA.
