Emodin attenuates acute lung injury in Cecal-ligation and puncture rats

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a major cause of sepsis-induced acute respiratory failure. Emodin has been considered to play a protective role for acute lung edema in cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis model. In this study we aimed to investigate whether emodin could improve CLP-induced lung sepsis via regulating aquaporin (AQP) and tight junction (TJ), inflammatory factors, and pulmonary apoptosis. The results showed that sepsis-induced pulmonary pathological changes were significantly improved after emodin treatment. Emodin was found to upregulate AQP and TJ expression in the CLP model. Meanwhile, inflammatory cytokine release and pulmonary apoptosis was remarkably reduced after emodin treatment in lung sepsis. Our data demonstrated that emodin could suppresse inflammation, restore pulmonary epithelial barrier and reduce mortality in CLP-induced ALI, suggesting the potential therapeutic application of emodin in sepsis.

急诊心肌梗死冠状动脉介入治疗术后患者T3水平与心肌再灌注的关系

目的探讨急性心肌梗死（AMI）患者急诊经皮冠状动脉介入治疗（PCI）术后血清三碘甲状腺原氨酸（T3）与心肌再灌注的关系。方法采用化学发光法检测205例AMI患者PCI术后血清T3水平，根据T3水平将患者分为A、B、C、D4组，记录并比较4组患者术后冠状动脉TIMI血流分级、心肌呈色分级（MBG）。结果A组（重度低T3组）TIMI3级比例低于B、C、D组，差异有统计学意义（P＜0.01）；MBG3级比例低于B、C、D组，差异有统计学意义（P＜0.01）。女性患者T3水平（1.00±0.05）nmol/L、TIMI3级比例（32/46，69.6%）、MBG3级比例（24/46，52.2%）均低于男性患者，后者分别为（1.19±0.02）nmol/L、（143/159，89.9%）、（110/159，69.2%），差异均有统计学意义（P＜0.05或0.01）。结论女性AMI患者心肌再灌注水平较男性患者低。AMI患者T3水平与PCI术后冠状动脉再灌注相关，监测T3可以间接反映病情的严重程度。
