RESUMO
Objective:To explore the effect of hydrogen sulfide (H 2S) on expression of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signal pathway in rats with intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (IRI) injury. Methods:Thirty male Wistar rats were divided into sham operation group (Sham group), IRI group, and H 2S precursor sodium hydrosuphide (NaHS) intervention group (IRI+NaHS group) by random number table method, with 10 rats in each group. The animal model of IRI was established by 60 minutes superior mesenteric artery (SMA) blockage with non-invasive vascular clamp and 120 minutes reflow. SMA was dissociated and peritoneum cavity was closed in Sham group. The rats in IRI+NaHS group was received NaHS (100 μmol/kg bolus+1.07 mmol·kg -1·h -1 infusion) 10 minutes prior to the onset of reperfusion, while the rats in IRI group and Sham group were received equal volume of normal sodium. Blood in vena cava was collected. H 2S was detected by sensitive sulfide electrode. Rats were sacrificed after blood collection. Histopathology change was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, ileal pathological score was studied by Chiu score. The protein expressions of phosphated Akt (p-Akt), Akt, PI3K, cleaved caspase-9, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) were determined by Western Blot. Results:Compared with the Sham group, there was intestinal mucosa structure disorder edema and shedding villous fracture in the IRI group. Ileal pathological score in IRI group was significantly increased (4.21±0.15 vs. 0.15±0.03, P < 0.01), while plasma H 2S in IRI group was significantly decreased (μmol/L: 26.72±3.17 vs. 38.34±5.24, P < 0.01). Ileal p-Akt, PI3K, caspase-9 and mTOR protein in IRI group were significantly increased (p-Akt/GAPDH: 2.67±0.12 vs. 0.24±0.05, PI3K/GAPDH: 1.42±0.07 vs. 0.57±0.08, caspase-9/GAPDH: 4.23±0.61 vs. 0.13±0.02, mTOR/GAPDH: 2.17±0.23 vs. 0.23±0.02, all P < 0.01). Compared with the IRI group, pathological changes of intestinal mucosa in the IRI+NaHS group was improved, ileal pathological score was significantly decreased (1.56±0.02 vs. 4.21±0.15, P < 0.01), plasma H 2S was significantly increased (μmol/L: 32.36±2.45 vs. 26.72±3.17, P < 0.01) and ileal p-Akt, PI3K were significantly increased (p-Akt/GAPDH: 5.12±0.08 vs. 2.67±0.12, PI3K/GAPDH: 3.14±0.05 vs. 1.42±0.07, both P < 0.01), while caspase-9, mTOR in IRI+NaHS group were significantly decreased (caspase-9/GAPDH: 2.12±0.24 vs. 4.23±0.61, mTOR/GAPDH: 1.37±0.28 vs. 2.17±0.23, both P < 0.01). Conclusion:H 2S attenuates intestinal injury in IRI rats by up-regulating PI3K/Akt signal pathway and down-regulating caspase-9 and mTOR.

Objective To investigate the effect of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT)combined with PC chemotherapy (paclitaxel + carboplatin)on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and the serum levels of CA125,tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1),serum amyloid A (SAA)and T-lymphocyte subsets. Methods A total of 100 patients with NSCLC treated in Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from May 2015 to December 2017 were selected as the study subjects. They were divided into control group and observation group according to random number table method,with 50 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with 3D-CRT combined with PC chemotherapy,while the con-trol group was treated with PC chemotherapy. The two groups were treated for 4 cycles. The therapeutic effect, serum CA125,TIMP-1,SAA,T-lymphocyte subsets and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results Four cases were lost to follow-up both in the two groups. The overall response rate in the observation group (43. 48%,20 / 46)was higher than that in the control group (23. 91%,11 / 46;χ2 = 3. 941, P = 0. 047). The serum levels of CA125,TIMP-1 and SAA of the two groups had no significant difference be-fore treatment,and the levels of these indexes decreased after treatment. The serum levels of CA125,TIMP-1 and SAA in the observation group after treatment were (12. 31 ± 1. 13)U/ ml,(275. 31 ± 13. 69)pg/ ml and (47. 21 ± 7. 21)mg/ L,which were lower than those in the control group [(30. 36 ± 1. 98)U/ ml,(320. 36 ± 17. 23)pg/ ml,(65. 92 ± 8. 36)mg/ L],with significant differences (t = 53. 699,P < 0. 001;t = 13. 884, P < 0. 001;t = 11. 495,P < 0. 001). The levels of CD3 +,CD4 +,CD8 + and CD4 + / CD8 + of the two groups had no significant difference before treatment,and the levels of these indexes decreased after treatment. The levels of CD3 +,CD4 +,CD8 + and CD4 + / CD8 + in the observation group were (35. 27 ± 10. 31 )%, (20. 27 ± 6. 72)%,(15. 89 ± 3. 37)% and 0. 91 ± 0. 37,which were higher than those in the control group [(30. 77 ± 9. 27)%,(15. 27 ± 5. 73)%,(12. 02 ± 2. 69)% and 0. 75 ± 0. 39],with significant differences (t = 2. 201,P = 0. 030;t = 3. 840,P < 0. 001;t = 6. 087,P < 0. 001;t = 2. 019,P = 0. 047).

RESUMO
Objective To study the change in endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in patients with acute pancreatitis and its relationship to coagulation function. Methods A prospective case control study was conducted. Forty patients with mild acute pancreatitis (MAP group) and 40 with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP group) admitted to Yiwu Central Hospital in Zhejiang Province from December 2002 to March 2015 were enrolled. Forty healthy persons served as control (healthy control group). Blood was collected to determine the levels of H2S, blood coagulation factor Ⅷ (FⅧ), von Willebrand factor (vWF), plasminogen (PLG), antithrombin (AT), platelet count (PLT), tissue factor (TF), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and protease activated receptor-1 (PAR-1). The correlations among the above parameters were analyzed. Results There was no statistical significance in sex, age, body weight and time of disease among three groups, indicating it was comparable among the groups. Compared with healthy control group, the levels of H2S, FⅧ, vWF, TF, TNF-α, and PAR-1 in MAP and SAP groups were significantly elevated [H2S (μmol/L): 67.42±6.34, 112.47±12.69 vs. 42.57±4.18, FⅧ: (67.5±5.8)%, (82.3±4.7)% vs. (57.2±6.4)%, vWF: (112.6±9.7)%, (142.5±12.5)% vs. (76.4±8.2)%, TF (ng/L): 45.27±4.34, 64.76±6.25 vs. 18.15±1.89, TNF-α (ng/L): 197.67±13.62, 324.72±25.54 vs. 20.08±2.57, PAR-1 (fluorescence intensity): 32.16±4.43, 56.12±7.07 vs. 12.27±2.12, all P < 0.01], and PLG and AT activity were significantly decreased [PLG: (52.4±4.7)%, (36.7±3.2)% vs. (62.1±5.6)%, AT: (43.2±6.9)%, (35.5±5.4)% vs. (53.6±6.1)%, all P < 0.01]. The changes in the parameters in SAP group were more remarkable than those in MAP group (all P < 0.01). PLT in SAP group was significantly lower than that in healthy control and MAP groups (×109/L: 8.5±1.1 vs. 15.7±2.8, 12.4±1.9, both P < 0.01). H2S was positively correlated with FⅧ, vWF, TF, TNF-α, and PAR-1 (r value was 0.56, 0.61, 0.72, 0.66, 0.64, respectively, all P < 0.01), and it was negatively correlated with PLG and AT (r value was -0.64, -0.57, both P < 0.01). Conclusion As an inflammatory factor, endogenous H2S deteriorates coagulation function in patients with acute pancreatitis by up-regulating TF, TNF-α, and PAR-1.
