METHODS: Studies were identified by searching available databases up to January 2011. Inclusive criteria were HBV-carrier mothers who had been involved in randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) with lamivudine treatment in late pregnancy, and newborns or infants whose serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) or HBV DNA had been documented. The relative risks (RRs) for inerruption of MTCT as indicated by HBsAg, HBV DNA or HBeAg of newborns or infants were calculated with 95% confidence interval (CI) to estimate the efficacy of lamivudine treatment. RESULTS: Fifteen RCTs including 1693 HBV-carrier mothers were included in this meta-analysis. The overall RR was 0.43 (95% CI, 0.25-0.76; 8 RCTs; Phet- erogeneity= 0.04) and 0.33 (95% CI, 0.23-0.47; 6 RCTs; Pheterogeneity = 0.93) indicated by newborn HBsAg or HBV DNA. The RR was 0.33 (95% CI, 0.21-0.50; 6 RCTs; Pheterogeneity = 0.46) and 0.32 (95% CI, 0.20-0.50; 4 RCTs; Pheterogeneity = 0.33) indicated by serum HBsAg or HBV DNA of infants 6-12 mo after birth. The RR (lamivudine vs hepatitis B immunoglobulin) was 0.27 (95% CI, 0.16-0.46; 5 RCTs; Pheterogeneity = 0.94) and 0.24 (95% CI, 0.07-0.79; 3 RCTs; Pheterogeneity = 0.60) indicated by newborn HBsAg or HBV DNA, respectively. In the mothers with viral load 〈 106 copies/mL after lamivudine treatment, the efficacy (RR, 95% CI) was 0.33, 0.21-0.53 (5 RCTs; Pheterogeneity = 0.82) for the interruption of MTCT, however, this value was not significant if maternal viral load was 〉 106 copies/mL after lamivudine treatment (P = 0.45, 2 RCTs), as indicated by newborn serum HBsAg. The RR (lamivudine initiated from 28 wk of gestation vs control) was 0.34 (95% CI, 0.22-0.52; 7 RCTs; Pheterogeneity = 0.92) and 0.33 (95% CI, 0.22-0.50; 5 RCTs; Pheterogeneity = 0.86) indicated by newborn HBsAg or HBV DNA. The incidence of adverse effects of lamivudine was not higher in the mothers than in controls (P = 0.97). Only one study reported side effects of lamivudine in newborns. CONCLUSION: Lamivudine treatment in HBV carrier- mothers from 28 wk of gestation may interrupt MTCT of HBV efficiently. Lamivudine is safe and more efficient than hepatitis B immunoglobulin in interrupting MTCT. HBV MTCT might be interrupted efficiently if maternal viral load is reduced to 〈 106 copies/mL by lamivudine treatment.展开更多

METHODS: A rat model of cirrhosis was prepared with the method of compound factors. At the end of the eighth week, rats with cirrhosis were treated with 300 μg LPS/100 g body weight, and 1 g/rat of glycine about four h prior to LPS. After three h of LPS treatment, blood and tissues were collected for various measurements. Kupffer cells were isolated from male Wistar rats and cultured, and divided into five groups. Supernatant was harvested at 3 h after treatment with LPS for measurement of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). RESULTS: Our results showed that in rats with cirrhosis, slowed and deepened breath with occasional pause was. PaO2, PaCO2 and standard bicarbonate (SB) in arterial blood were decreased. Arterial O2 and actual bicarbonate (AB) were markedly decreased. There was a close correlation between decreased O2 and endotoxin. Metabolic acidosis accompanying respiratory alkalosis was the primary type of acid-base imbalance. The alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient was sharply widened. Massive accumulation of giant macrophages in the alveolar spaces and its wall and widened alveolar wall architecture were observed. The number of bacterial translocations in mesenteric lymph nodes increased. The ratio of TC99M-MAA brain-over-lung radioactivity rose. Endotoxin, and TNF-α, endothelin-1 (ET-1), nitric oxide (NO) in plasma and ET-1, carbon monoxide (CO) in lung homogenates increased. After administration of a given dosage of LPS in rats with cirrhosis, various pathological parameters worsened. Plasma level of endotoxin was related to TNF-α, ET-1, NO in plasma and ET-1, NO, CO in lung homogenates. TNF-α level was related to ET-1 and NO in plasma and lung homogenates and CO in lung homogenate as well. The level of TNF-α increased after infusion of LPS into culture supernatant of Kupffer cells in vitro. However, TNF-α significantly decreased after pretreatment with glycine, PD98059 and SB212850. Glycine could antagonize the effect of LPS in vivo and in vitro. CONCLUSION: Intestinal endotoxemia accompanying by cirrhosis may be an important mechanism in the development of hepatopulmonary syndrome in rats. Overproduction of TNF-α due to endotoxin stimulation of Kupffer cells via mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal transduction pathway may be a major mechanism mediating the pathologic alterations of hepatopulmonary syndrome.展开更多

The RR was 0.33 (95% CI, 0.21-0.50; 6 RCTs; Pheterogeneity = 0.46) and 0.32 (95% CI, 0.20-0.50; 4 RCTs; Pheterogeneity = 0.33) indicated by serum HBsAg or HBV DNA of infants 6-12 mo after birth. The RR (lamivudine vs hepatitis B immunoglobulin) was 0.27 (95% CI, 0.16-0.46; 5 RCTs; Pheterogeneity = 0.94) and 0.24 (95% CI, 0.07-0.79; 3 RCTs; Pheterogeneity = 0.60) indicated by newborn HBsAg or HBV DNA, respectively. In the mothers with viral load 〈 106 copies/mL after lamivudine treatment, the efficacy (RR, 95% CI) was 0.33, 0.21-0.53 (5 RCTs; Pheterogeneity = 0.82) for the interruption of MTCT, however, this value was not significant if maternal viral load was 〉 106 copies/mL after lamivudine treatment (P = 0.45, 2 RCTs), as indicated by newborn serum HBsAg. The RR (lamivudine initiated from 28 wk of gestation vs control) was 0.34 (95% CI, 0.22-0.52; 7 RCTs; Pheterogeneity = 0.92) and 0.33 (95% CI, 0.22-0.50; 5 RCTs; Pheterogeneity = 0.86) indicated by newborn HBsAg or HBV DNA. The incidence of adverse effects of lamivudine was not higher in the mothers than in controls (P = 0.97). Only one study reported side effects of lamivudine in newborns. CONCLUSION: Lamivudine treatment in HBV carrier- mothers from 28 wk of gestation may interrupt MTCT of HBV efficiently. Lamivudine is safe and more efficient than hepatitis B immunoglobulin in interrupting MTCT. HBV MTCT might be interrupted efficiently if maternal viral load is reduced to 〈 106 copies/mL by lamivudine treatment.

文摘AIM:To investigate the effect of keratinocyte growth factor(KGF) gene therapy in acetic acid-induced ulcerative colitis in rat model.METHODS:The colitis of Sprague-Dawley rats was induced by intrarectal infusion of 1 mL 5%(v/v) acetic acid.Twenty-four hours after exposed to acetic acid,rats were divided into three experimental groups:control group,attenuated Salmonella typhimurium Ty21a strain(SP) group and SP strain carrying human KGF gene(SPK) group,and they were separately administered orally with 10% NaHCO3,SP or SPK.Animals were sacrificed and colonic tissues were harvested respectively on day 3,5,7 and 10 after administration.Weights of rats,colonic weight/length ratio and stool score were evaluated.Histological changes of colonic tissues were examined by hematoxylin and eosin(HE) staining method.The expression of KGF,KGF receptor(KGFR) and TNF-α were measured either by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or Western blotting.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the cellular localization of KGFR and Ki67.In addition,superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity and malondialdehyde(MDA) contents in the homogenate were measured.RESULTS:Body weight and colonic weight/length ratio were declined in SPK group compared with SP and control groups(body weight:272.78 ± 17.92 g vs 243.72 ± 14.02 g and 240.68 ± 12.63 g,P < 0.01;colonic weight/length ratio:115.76 ± 7.47 vs 150.32 ± 5.99 and 153.67 ± 5.50 mg/cm,P < 0.01).Moreover,pathological changes of damaged colon were improved in SPK group as well.After administration of SPK strain,KGF expression increased markedly from the 3rd d,and remained at a high level till the 10th d.Furthermore,KGFR expression and Ki67 expression elevated,whereas TNF-α expression was inhibited in SPK group.In the group administered with SPK,SOD activity increased significantly(d 5:26.18 ± 5.84 vs 18.12 ± 3.30 and 18.79 ± 4.74 U/mg,P < 0.01;d 7:35.48 ± 3.35 vs 22.57 ± 3.44 and 21.69 ± 3.94 U/mg,P < 0.01;d 10:46.10 ± 6.23 vs 25.35 ± 4.76 and 27.82 ± 6.42 U/mg,P < 0.01) and MDA contents decreased accordingly(d 7:7.40 ± 0.88 vs 9.81 ± 1.21 and 10.45 ± 1.40 nmol/mg,P < 0.01;d 10:4.36 ± 0.62 vs 8.41 ± 0.92 and 8.71 ± 1.27 nmol/mg,P < 0.01),compared with SP and control groups.CONCLUSION:KGF gene therapy mediated by attenuated Salmonella ameliorates ulcerative colitis induced by acetic acids,and it may be a safe and effective treatment for ulcerative colitis.
文摘AIM: To evaluate the role of intestinal endotoxemia in the genesis of hepatopulmonary syndrome. METHODS: A rat model of cirrhosis was prepared with the method of compound factors. At the end of the eighth week, rats with cirrhosis were treated with 300 μg LPS/100 g body weight, and 1 g/rat of glycine about four h prior to LPS. After three h of LPS treatment, blood and tissues were collected for various measurements. Kupffer cells were isolated from male Wistar rats and cultured, and divided into five groups. Supernatant was harvested at 3 h after treatment with LPS for measurement of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). RESULTS: Our results showed that in rats with cirrhosis, slowed and deepened breath with occasional pause was. PaO2, PaCO2 and standard bicarbonate (SB) in arterial blood were decreased. Arterial O2 and actual bicarbonate (AB) were markedly decreased. There was a close correlation between decreased O2 and endotoxin. Metabolic acidosis accompanying respiratory alkalosis was the primary type of acid-base imbalance. The alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient was sharply widened. Massive accumulation of giant macrophages in the alveolar spaces and its wall and widened alveolar wall architecture were observed. The number of bacterial translocations in mesenteric lymph nodes increased. The ratio of TC99M-MAA brain-over-lung radioactivity rose. Endotoxin, and TNF-α, endothelin-1 (ET-1), nitric oxide (NO) in plasma and ET-1, carbon monoxide (CO) in lung homogenates increased. After administration of a given dosage of LPS in rats with cirrhosis, various pathological parameters worsened. Plasma level of endotoxin was related to TNF-α, ET-1, NO in plasma and ET-1, NO, CO in lung homogenates. TNF-α level was related to ET-1 and NO in plasma and lung homogenates and CO in lung homogenate as well. The level of TNF-α increased after infusion of LPS into culture supernatant of Kupffer cells in vitro. However, TNF-α significantly decreased after pretreatment with glycine, PD98059 and SB212850. Glycine could antagonize the effect of LPS in vivo and in vitro. CONCLUSION: Intestinal endotoxemia accompanying by cirrhosis may be an important mechanism in the development of hepatopulmonary syndrome in rats. Overproduction of TNF-α due to endotoxin stimulation of Kupffer cells via mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal transduction pathway may be a major mechanism mediating the pathologic alterations of hepatopulmonary syndrome.
