    查看更多>>摘要:AIM:To investigate the effect of emodin on pancreatic claudin-5 and occludin expression,and pancreatic paracellular permeability in acute pancreatitis (AP).METHODS:Experimental pancreatitis was induced by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the biliopancreatic duct.Emodin was injected via the external jugular vein 0 or 6 h after induction of AP.Rats from sham operation and AP groups were injected with normal saline at the same time.Samples of pancreas were obtained 6 or 12 h after drug administration.Pancreatic morphology was examined with hematoxylin and eosin staining.Pancreatic edema was estimated by measuring tissue water content.Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6 level were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Pancreatic paracellular permeability was assessed by tissue dye extravasation.Expression of pancreatic claudin-5 and occludin was examined by immunohistology,quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and western blotting.RESULTS:Pancreatic TNF-α and IL-6 levels,wet/dry ratio,dye extravasation,and histological score were significantly elevated at 3,6 and 12 h following sodium taurocholate infusion; treatment with emodin prevented these changes at all time points.Immunostaining of claudin-5 and occludin was detected in rat pancreas,which was distributed in pancreatic acinar cells,ductal cells and vascular endothelial cells,respectively.Sodium taurocholate infusion significantly decreased pancreatic claudin-5 and occludin mRNA and protein levels at 3,6 and 12 h,and that could be promoted by intravenous administration of emodin at all time points.CONCLUSION:These results demonstrate that emodin could promote pancreatic claudin-5 and occludin expression,and reduce pancreatic paracellular permeability.

    查看更多>>摘要:Extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma,nasal type,exhibits aggressive tumor behavior and carries a poor prognosis.Recently,lymphomatoid gastropathy with NK/T cell infiltration into gastric mucosa has been recognized as a pseudo-malignant disease which regresses without treatment.Because the conventional immunohistochemical criteria of lymphomatoid gastropathy is similar to that of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma nasal type,it is difficult to distinguish between the two conditions by histopathological evaluation only.Here,we report a rare case of lymphomatoid gastropathy in a 57-year-old female.Gastroendoscopy on routine check-up revealed elevated reddish lesions < 1 cm in diameter in the gastric fornix and body.Although repeat endoscopies at 1 and 6 mo later revealed no gastric lesions at any locations without any treatments,at 12 mo later gastric lymphomatoid lesions recurred at gastric fornix and body.Histological examination of endoscopic biopsy specimens at 12 mo showed atypical NK cell infiltration with CD3+,CD4-,CD5-,CD7+,CD8-,CD20-,CD30-,CD56+,CD79a-and T-cell-restricted intracellular antigen-1+ into gastric mucosa.After treatment for Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) eradication,the lesions disappeared in all locations of the gastric fornix and body over the subsequent 12 mo.Here,we report a case of H.pylori-positive lymphomatoid gastropathy with massive NK-cell proliferation,and also review the literature concerning newly identified lymphomatoid gastropathy based on comparison of extra nodal NK/T-cell lymphoma nasal type.In any case,these lesions are evaluated with biopsy specimens,the possibility of this benign entity should be considered,and excessive treatment should be carefully avoided.Close follow-up for this case of lymphomatoid gastropathy is necessary to exclude any underlying malignancy.
