RESUMO
Objective To investigate the protective mechanism of MEK1/2 inhibitor PD98059 on ox-LDL induced injury of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC),and its influence on the expression of LOX-1.Methods HUVEC damage models were established by using ox-LDL and were treated with PD98059 later,divided into the negative control group,the ox-LDL group,the positive control group and the PD98059+ox-LDL group.The effect of inhibition of MEK1/2 on ox-LDL induced HUVEC damage was measured.Results Compared with the negative control group,the levels in the ox-LDL group of LOX-1,pMEK1/2,RhoA,ROCK1,ROCK2,TNF-α and IL-6 were increased significantly,the proliferations of HUVEC and the productions of NO were decreased (P＜0.05).Compared with the ox-LDL group,the levels in the positive control group and the PD98059+ox-LDL group of pMEK1/2,RhoA,ROCK1,ROCK2,TNF-α and IL-6 were decreased,the proliferation of HUVEC and the production of NO were increased (P＜0.05).Conclusion PD98059 inhibit the MEK1/2 signaling pathway to suppress the ox-LDL induced damage of HUVEC by decreasing the expression of LOX-1.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effects of glycyrrhizin on the cell model of alcoholic fatty liver(AFL) induced in vitro and its possible mechanism.Methods The in vitro induced AFL cells were divided into the control group,separating ethanol group,glycyrrhizin group and continuous induction group.The levels of intracellular triglyceride(TG) and leakage amounts of ALT and AST,cell cycle change and protein and mRNA expressions of PPAR-γ,SREBP-1 and SCAP were measured.Results Glycyrrhizin could obviously reduce the apoptosis occurrence;compared with the control group,the level of intracellular TG and the leakage amounts of ALT and AST,and the protein and mRNA expressions of PPAR-γ,SREBP-1 and SCAP were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion Glycyrrhizin may alleviate the fat change of in vitro induced AFL cells by down-regulating expressions of PPAR-γ,SREBP-1 and SCAP.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the incidence and the species distribution of catheter‐related bloodstream infection(CRBSI) in the intensive care unit(ICU) at our hospital ,and analyze the risk factors for CRBSI .Methods The hospitalized patients microbi‐ologically diagnosed as CRBSl were included in this study from January 2012 to June 2013 .Data were collected retrospectively and analyzed by software SPSS 19 .0 .Results There were 67 patients were diagnosed as nosocomial CRBSI of 987 cases ,in which 24 cases (35 .8% )died in the hospital .Eighty one strains were detected from 67 cases of CRBSI ,including 42 Gram‐positive(G+ ) bac‐teria(51 .9% ) ,36 Gram‐negative(G-)bacteria (44 .4% ) ,and 3 fungi(3 .7% ) .Staphylococcus epidermidis was predominant patho‐genic G+ bacteria ,and Acinetobacter baumannii was predominant G - bacteria .With multiple logistic regressions ,age≥65 ,high A‐PACHEⅡ score and polymicrobial CRBSI were independent predictors of worse outcome .Conclusion Within the latest 18 months , the prevalence of pathogens infection are Staphylococcus epidermidis and Acinetobacter baumannii in CRBSI in ICU .Advanced age , disease severity and polymicrobial CRBSI should be regarded as significant independent risk factor of the CRBSI patients in ICU for mortality .
