白藜芦醇抑制TXNIP/NLRP3信号通路改善脂多糖诱导的肾小管上皮细胞炎性损伤

[目的]观察白藜芦醇对脂多糖诱导的肾小管上皮细胞（HK-2）炎性损伤的保护作用,及其对TXNIP/NLRP3炎性通路的影响。[方法]采用脂多糖（LPS,1 mg/L）体外诱导HK-2细胞炎性损伤模型,将细胞分为正常对照组、LPS诱导组、LPS+低剂量（50 μmol/L）白藜芦醇组、LPS+中剂量（100 μmol/L）白藜芦醇组、LPS+高剂量（200 μmol/L）白藜芦醇组;CCK8法检测HK-2细胞相对存活率,酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）法检测炎性因子白介素-6（IL-6）、白介素-1β（IL-1β）及肿瘤坏死因子-α（TNF-α）水平,Western Blot方法分析诱导型一氧化氮合酶（iNOS）、环氧酶-2（COX-2）、人硫氧还蛋白互作蛋白（TXNIP）及人隐热蛋白（NLRP3）表达。[结果]与LPS诱导组比较,不同浓度白藜芦醇干预的HK-2细胞相对存活率明显升高（P<0.05）,细胞上清炎性因子IL-6、IL-1β及TNF-α水平明显降低（P<0.05）,细胞中炎性蛋白iNOS及COX-2表达水平显著降低（P<0.05）;细胞中TXNIP及NLRP3蛋白表达也显著降低（P<0.05）,并表现出剂量依赖性。[结论]白藜芦醇可以明显抑制LPS诱导的HK-2细胞炎症损伤,抑制炎症相关蛋白的表达,其作用机制可能与抑制TXNIP/NLRP3炎性通路活化相关。

抑制TNFR/RIPK信号通路对神经细胞凋亡的影响及机制研究

【摘要】 目的 研究抑制TNFR/RIPK信号通路对急性脊髓损伤（ASCI）大鼠神经细胞凋亡的影响及作用机制。方法 160只雄性SD大鼠,随机分为空白对照组、假手术组、模型组、Nec 1组,每组又根据时间点分为12h、24h、3d、7d四个亚组。采用动脉夹钳夹法制作ASCI模型,空白对照组不做任何处理,假手术组仅暴露脊髓,不损伤脊髓,模型组和Nec 1组用动脉瘤夹脊髓全横截面1min,缝合伤口。空白对照组、假手术组和模型组注射给予生理盐水,Nec 1组注射坏死性凋亡抑制剂Necrostain 1（Nec 1）溶液1μl/kg,1次/d,分别给药12h、24h、3d、7d。给药后以BBB评分对各组大鼠后肢神经功能恢复情况进行评分,完成评分后,取10只给药7d的大鼠脊髓,进行HE染色、Nissl染色、碘化丙啶（PI）染色、Tunel染色;另取10只给药7d的大鼠,取脊髓,用Western Blot检测RIP1、RIP3、Bcl 2蛋白表达情况。结果 模型组和Nec 1组各时间点的BBB评分均显著低于空白对照组和假手术组（P＜005）,Nec 1组各时间点的BBB评分显著高于模型组（P＜005）。造模7d后,模型组脊髓出现坏死、空洞现象,大量炎性细胞浸润,坏死区域面积显著高于假手术组（P＜005）;尼氏体呈细颗粒状,神经元数量减少、染色浅、排列无序,坏死性凋亡细胞较多;PI红染细胞、Tunel阳性细胞数、凋亡小体数量,以及RIPK1、RIPK3、Bcl 2蛋白表达水平显著多于假手术组（P＜005）。给予Nec 1治疗7d后,Nec 1组脊髓坏死组织较模型组少,空洞现象得到改善,炎性细胞浸润现象好转,Nec 1组坏死区域面积显著低于空白对照组和假手术组（P＜005）;尼氏体着色的神经元细胞染色较深,颗粒变粗,存活神经元数量显著高于模型组（P＜005）;PI红染细胞数、凋亡小体数,以及RIPK1、RIPK3蛋白表达水平显著少于模型组（P＜005）,Bcl 2蛋白表达水平显著高于模型组（P＜005）。结论 坏死性凋亡抑制剂Nec 1能通过抑制TNFR/RIPK信号通路,下调RIPK1、RIPK3、上调Bcl 2的表达来缩小ASCI损伤面积,缓解炎症浸润,减少损伤周围神经元数量,改善神经元功能,提高损伤神经元及胶质细胞存活率,改善大鼠BBB评分,抑制坏死性凋亡。

Increased Expression of Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 2 Reduces Renal Cell Apoptosis During Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury After Hypothermic Machine Perfusion

Hypothermic machine perfusion (MP) can reduce graft's injury after kidney transplantation; however, the mechanism has not been elucidated. In the past decade, many studies showed that aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is a protease which can inhibit cell apoptosis. Therefore, this study aims to explore whether ALDH2 takes part in reducing organ damage after MP. Eighteen healthy male New Zealand rabbits (12 weeks old, weight 3.0 ± 0.3 kg) were randomly divided into three groups: normal group, MP group, and cold storage (CS) group (n = 6). The left kidney of rabbits underwent warm ischemia for 35 min through clamping the left renal pedicle and then reperfusion for 1 h. Left kidneys were preserved by MP or CS (4°C for 4 h) in vivo followed by the right nephrectomy and 24‐h reperfusion, and then the specimens and blood were collected. Finally, concentration of urine creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and 4‐HNE were tested. Renal apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining, and the expression of ALDH2, cleaved‐caspase 3, bcl‐2/ bax, MAPK in renal tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry or Western blot; 24 h after surgery, the concentration of Cr in MP group was 355 ± 71μmol/L, in CS group was 511 ± 44 μmol/L (P < 0.05), while the BUN was 15.02 ± 2.34 mmol/L in MP group, 22.64 ± 3.58 mmol/L in CS group (P < 0.05). The rate of apoptosis and expression of cleaved caspase‐3, p‐P38, p‐ERK, and p‐JNK in MP group was significantly lower than that in CS group (P < 0.05), while expression of ALDH2 and bcl‐2/bax in MP group was significantly higher than that in CS group (P < 0.05); expression of cleaved caspase‐3 in both MP and CS group significantly increased as compared with that in normal group (P < 0.05). In conclusion, increased expression of ALDH2 can reduce the renal cell apoptosis through inhibiting MAPK pathway during ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) after hypothermic MP.     

Clinical pathway for tension-free vaginal mesh procedure: Evaluation in 300 patients with pelvic organ prolapse

Objectives:   To evaluate a clinical pathway of discharge on postoperative day 3 for the tension-free vaginal mesh (TVM) procedure in patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
Methods:   Between May 2006 and December 2007, 305 consecutive women with POP quantification stage 3 or 4 were planned to undergo the TVM procedure in a single general hospital. Excluding five patients with concomitant hysterectomy, a pathway (removal of the indwelling urethral catheter on the next morning, discharge on postoperative day 3) was applied to the remaining 300 patients. The perioperative complications and postoperative hospitalization were prospectively evaluated in this case series.
Results:   Perioperative complications were: bladder injury (11 cases, 3.7%), vaginal wall hematoma (two cases, 0.7%), rectal injury (one case, 0.3%) and temporary hydronephrosis (one case, 0.3%). None needed blood transfusion. The indwelling urethral catheters were removed on the next morning as in the pathway in 287 cases (95.6%), and none required clean intermittent catheterization at home. Postoperative hospitalization was within 3 days in 280 cases (93.3%). The six cases (2.0%) with longer hospitalization were due to complications (two cases of bladder injury, one of rectal injury, one of blood loss over 200 mL, one of temporary urinary retention, and one of hydronephrosis). Two patients were re-hospitalized within one month due to vaginal bleeding or gluteal pain.
Conclusions:   Patients generally accepted the pathway of discharge on postoperative day 3 in spite of the Japanese culture preferring a longer hospital stay.

强直性脊柱炎异位骨化机制研究进展

强直性脊柱炎是一种发病机制不明的慢性炎性脊柱关节病,主要侵犯骶髂关节、脊柱关节等,严重者可发生脊柱、关节的畸形和强直。临床表现为炎性腰背痛,夜间及休息后加重,活动后减轻。该病发病率男性高于女性,且男性主要表现为中轴关节改变,而女性大多首发于外周关节。目前生物制剂肿瘤坏死因子抑制剂通过控制炎症,从而改善病情发展,被认为是最前沿的药物,但其在阻断新骨形成方面尚未经循证医学证实有效。本文着眼于新骨形成角度,从基因及细胞因子层面探讨强直性脊柱炎的病因。目前相关研究发现LRP5、ANTXR2、PTGER4、ANKH等基因的异常表达激活骨形成信号通路,在多种细胞因子及相关蛋白(如Noggin蛋白、DKK、转化生长因子-β、骨形态发生蛋白、碳酸酐酶1等)直接或间接作用下将骨形成信号传至靶细胞表面,进而传入细胞核,改变靶细胞正常生理代谢过程,导致过度骨形成,造成异位骨化。近年的临床影像学病例分析也提示了骨赘形成的分布特点,进而推断机械应力是促进其形成的外部因素。本文对强直性脊柱炎异位骨化方面进行了文献综述,以期待能进一步加深对本病的认识,为临床治疗研究提供新的思路。
