Methods： We established a mouse model of human ulcerative colitis （UC） by supplying mice with water containing dextran sulfate sodium （DSS）. At 7-day, DSS-induced pathogenic outcomes, including loss of body weight, increase of colitis score, pathogenic shortening of colon length, elevated level of TNF-ct, IL-lβ, malondialdehyde （MDA） and myeloperoxidase （MPO） deficiency in colon lesions, were significantly suppressed by lactulose administration and intraperitoneally injected hydrogen water. Results： After eliminating colon microflora by antibiotics, the anti-inflammatory effects of lactulose were significantly compromised. Histological analysis also revealed that the DSS mediated colonic tissue destruction accompanied by neutrophils infiltration was remarkably suppressed by lactulose and hydrogen water. Conclusion：The present study indicated that lactulose can prevent the development of DSS-induced colitis and alleviate oxidative stress state in colitis.展开更多

A better understanding of the underlying control mechanisms should provide insights into the temporal and co-ordinate regulation of the gene expression during granulopoiesis. We have identified its promoter by mapping the start(s) of transcription using various molecular approaches together with demonstrating the promoter function of the relevant DNA segment in a transient transfection reporter assay. Besides the major start of transcription mapped at G residue, 11 nucleotide upstream of the 3’ end of exon 0, the usage of that is specific to the MPO expressing cell lines, we have shown that irrespective of the MPO-expression status of the hematopoietic cells, transcription occurs broadly within a two kb region upstream of the 5’ proximity of the gene, and is largely terminated in nitron 2. These data support a model of the pre myelocytic-stage-specific MPO expression, the control of which is operated at initiation as well as elongation levels of transcription.展开更多

Methods: Myeloperoxidase content in lung tissues and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were detected. ICAM 1 and its mRNA expression in lung tissues were determined by immunohistochemical method and in situ hybridization. CD11b/CD18 expression on the peripheral PMNs was measured by flowcytometry. Results: The levels of myeloperoxidase in lung tissues and BALF after burn injury were markedly higher than those of control. Expression of ICAM 1 and its mRNA in the lung tissues and CD11b/CD18 on peripheral PMNs surface was significantly increased at 2, 6, 12, 24 h after burns. Conclusions: PMNs accumulation in the lungs is related to increased ICAM 1 expression on pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells and CD11b/CD18 expression on PMN at the early stage of burn injury.展开更多
