BACKGROUND:The reasonable use of amino acids (AAs) in parenteral nutrition (PN) is very critical to the growth and development of premature infants. However, the appropriate dose of AAs has not been determined. Our study was designed to investigate the clinical effect of two different doses of AAs in PN for low birth weight premature infants. MATERIALS AND METHODS:This randomized controlled study included 191 preterm infants who admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from June 2015 to December 2016 and they were randomly divided into Group 1 (n = 81) and Group 2 (n = 110). In Group 1, the starting dose of AAs dose was 1.0-1.5 g/kg/day, which was increased by 0.5 g/kg with the maximum dose at 3.5 g/kg/day. In Group 2, the starting dose of AAs was 1.8-2.5 g/kg/day and was increased by 1.0 g/kg with the maximum dose at 4.0-4.5 g/kg/day. We analyzed the clinical characteristics, body weight, body length, total calorie intake, nonprotein calorie intake, total protein intake, liver and kidney function, and complications of the two groups of preterm infants. RESULTS:The start of enteral feeding and the recovery of birth weight in Group 2 were earlier than those in Group 1 (3.83 ± 3.15 day vs. 5.53 ± 5.63 day, P = 0.016 and 6.36 ± 4.88 day vs. 8.48 ± 9.27 day, P = 0.043, respectively). The duration of PN and the time before total enteral nutrition were shorter in Group 2 than in Group 1 (16.46 ± 10.33 day vs. 21.41 ± 18.00 day, P = 0.029 and 15.47 ± 10.54 day vs. 19.47 ± 14.57 day, P = 0.038; respectively). The duration of mechanical ventilation (1.12 ± 2.62 day vs. 3.31 ± 8.13 day, P = 0.028) in Group 2 was shorter than that in Group 1. CONCLUSION:High doses of AAs in the early PN for preterm infants facilitate the promotion of early growth and development, advance recovery of birth weight, reduce the duration of PN, and reduce respiratory support without increasing the incidence of complications.
目的:探讨原发性肾病综合征(PNS)患儿血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)、血同型半胱氨酸(Hcy)及其与急性肾损伤(AKI)的关系.方法:选取2016年7月 ~2019年7月本院收治的67例原发性肾病综合征患儿为研究对象.收集所有患儿的性别、年龄、身体质量指数(BMI)、24 h尿蛋白定量、血清肌酐(SCr)、肾小球滤过率估计值(eGFR)资料,检测VEGF、Hcy水平.采用Pearson相关性分析VEGF、Hcy水平与肾功能指标及AKI分期之间的的相关性.结果:PNS合并AKI组患儿的24 h尿蛋白定量、SCr、VEGF、Hcy水平明显高于PNS未合并AKI组,eGFR水平明显低于PNS未合并AKI组.VEGF水平与24 h尿蛋白定量、SCr、AKI分期呈正相关关系,与eGFR呈负相关关系;Hcy水平与24 h尿蛋白定量、SCr、AKI分期呈正相关关系,与eGFR呈负相关关系.结论:VEGF、Hcy水平与AKI关系密切,监测PNS患儿的VEGF、Hcy水平可能对监控患儿肾功能水平及AKI程度具有积极意义.
Objective To explore the effect of early administration of high-dose amino acids in parenteral nutrition for low birth weight infants of prematurity.Methods A total of 191 prematures admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from June 2015 to December 2016 were selected,and they were randomly divided into the study group (n =110) and the control group (n =81).The starting amino acid dose was 1.8-2.5 g/(kg · d)and 1.0-1.5 g/(kg · d) in the study group and the control group,respectively.Lipids,glucose,and electrolytes in parenteral nutrition were applied according to standard protocol of the guideline.And the start of enteral feeding,the recovery of birth weight,the duration of parenteral nutrition,the time before total enteral nutrition,duration of hospital stay,incidence of respiratory distress syndrome,duration of mechanical ventilation and incidence of kaliopenia were compared between the 2 groups.Results The start of enteral feeding,the recovery of birth weight,the duration of parenteral nutrition,the time before total enteral nutrition in the study group were earlier than those in the control group [(3.83 ±3.15) d vs.(5.53 ±5.63) d,(15.47±10.54) d vs.(19.47 ± 14.57) d,(16.46 ± 10.33) d vs.(21.41 ±18.00) d,(6.36 ± 4.88) d vs.(8.48 ± 9.27) d],and the differences were all statistically significant (t =2.455,2.097,2.217,2.041,P =0.016,0.038,0.029,0.043).The duration of hospital stay was shorter and the hospitalization expenses were lower in the study group than those in the control group,but the differences were not significant (all P > 0.05).The incidence of respiratory distress syndrome in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group[20.91% (23/110 cases) vs.35.80% (29/81 cases)],and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =5.223,P =0.022).The duration of mechanical ventilation in study group was shorter than that in control [(1.12 ± 2.62) d vs.(3.31 ± 8.13) d],and the difference was statistically significant (t =2.231,P =0.028).The incidence of kaliopenia in the study group was higher than that in the control group [30.91% (34/110 cases)vs.17.28% (14/81 cases)],and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.603,P =0.032).There were not significant differences in terms of complications of necrotizing enterocolitis,sepsis,extrauterine growth retardation,hospital infection,metabolic acidosis,hyperglycemia,glucopenia,patent ductus arteriosus and respiratory distress syndrome between 2 groups (all P > 0.05).Conclusions Early administration of high-dose amino acids in parenteral nutrition for preterm infants can result in earlier enteral nutrition,shorter parenteral nutrition duration without increasing incidence of complications and hospitalization expenses.
The present study examined whether lipoxin A4 (LXA4) increases the expression of HO‑1, and inhibits the production of interleukin 6 (IL‑6) and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP‑1) in LXA4‑induced protection during hyperoxia‑induced injury in murine lung epithelial cells (MLE‑12) and what signal pathway may participate in the actions of LXA4 inhibiting IL‑6 and MCP‑1. MLE‑12 cells were exposed to air or hyperoxia with or without pretreatment with LXA4, Zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPP‑IX), IL‑6, anti‑IL‑6, MCP‑1, anti‑MCP‑1, inhibitors of p38 mitogen‑activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), protein kinase B (Akt) and extracellular signal‑regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) signaling pathways. The cell survival rates, cell viability, apoptosis rates, expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD), heme oxygenase‑1 (HO‑1), IL‑6 and MCP‑1, and the activations of p38 MAPK, ERK1/2 and Akt were measured. LXA4 significantly increased the cell survival rates, cell viability, SOD levels and HO‑1 expression, reduced the apoptosis rates, and inhibited the MCP‑1 and IL‑6 levels induced by hyperoxia in cells. ZnPP‑IX, an inhibitor of HO‑1, blocked LXA4‑induced protection on cell viability in cells exposed to hyperoxia. Anti‑IL‑6 and anti‑MCP‑1 improved the cell viability of cells exposed to hyperoxia. Inhibition of p38 MAPK and ERK1/2 blocked the expression of MCP‑1 and IL‑6 induced by hyperoxia. LXA4 inhibited the activation of p38 MAPK and ERK1/2 induced by hyperoxia, and increased the activation of the Akt signaling pathway, which was inhibited by hyperoxia. Therefore, LXA4 attenuated hyperoxia‑induced injury in MLE‑12 cells via the upregulation of HO‑1 expression. The protection of LXA4 in hyperoxia‑induced cell injury may be associated with the downregulation IL‑6 and MCP‑1 levels via the inhibition of the p38 MAPK and ERK1/2 signaling pathways.
Objective:To investigate protectory effects and possible mechanisms of lipoxin A4(LXA4)on the type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cell line MLE-12 with hyperoxia injury.Methods:MLE-12 cells were cultured and divided into five groups randomly:I:air group,Ⅱ:hyperoxia group,Ⅲ:hyperoxia+ LXA4 group,Ⅳ:hyperoxia+ TGF-β1 neutralizing antibodies,Ⅴ:hyperoxia+ TGF-β1 neutralizing antibodies+ LXA4.The growth state and morphological changes of the cells were observed by the inverted phase microscope;the mRNA expression of collagen Ⅰ,tenascin-C,TGF-β1 receptor(TGF-βR1),TGF-βR2 and Smad3 were measured by real-time quantitative PCR;the protein levels of TGF-ββ1/Smads signaling pathway(TGFβR1,Smad2,Smad3,Smad4,p-Smad2 and p-Smad3)were detected by Western blot.Results:①Morphological change:the cells under hyperoxia lost their normal shapes and showed necrosis,while the cells cultured with LXA4 and/lor TGF-β 1 neutralizing antibodies were normal appropriately.②The mRNA expression of extracellular matrix (ECM):LXA4 and TGF-β1 neutralizing antibodies attenuated the mRNA expression of collagen Ⅰ,tenascin-C markedly (P < 0.05),which expressed in the group hyperoxia+TGF-ββ1 neutralizing antibodies + LXA4 decreased most obviously.③The mRNA and protein levels of TGF-β1/Srnads signaling pathway:Compared with that of the hyperoxia group,the mRNA expression of TGF-βR1,TGF-βR2 and Smad3 decreased(P < 0.05),while the protein level of TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway had the same change in intervention group,and it in the the group hyperoxia+ TGF-β1 neutralizing antibodies +LXA4 decreased most obviously (P < 0.05).Conclusion:LXA4 can achieve protection of hy-peroxia-induced injury to MLE-12 which may be related to collagen Ⅰ,tenascin-C and TGF-ββ1/Smads signaling pathway.
Objective To investigate the protective effects of lipoxin A4 (LXA4) on the lung epithelial cells (MLE-12) in mice with hyperoxia injury.Methods MLE-12 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into air group,air + LXA4 group,hyperoxia group and hyperoxia + LXA4 group.The receptor of LXA4 (ALX) was verified by using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).MLE-12 cells were exposed to hyperoxia (> 850 mL/L oxygen concentration) for 12 h followed by pretreatment of 1 nmol/L,10 nmol/L and 50 nmol/L LXA4 for 1 h,6 h,12 h and 24 h.Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was applied to analyze the heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) expression to determine the optimal concentration and the optimal pretreatment time of LXA4.The cell morphology was observed by using inverted microscope.The survival rates and cell viability were determined by using Trypan Blue stain and cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8).The superoxide dismutase (SOD) level was determined by using hydroxylamine method.The expressions of mRNA and protein of HO-1 were measured by using qRT-PCR,western blot and immunofluorescence assay,respectively.The interleukin-6 (IL-6) and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) were determined by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results ALX was expressed in MLE-12 cells.The optimal intervention concentration and time of LXA4 was 10 nmol/L for 12 h.Compared with air group [(84 ± 5) %,1.22 ± 0.27,(5.33 ± 1.16) kU/L],the cell survival rate,viability and SOD level of hyperoxia group [(66 ± 8) %,0.67 ± 0.21,(2.38 ± 0.65) kU/L] decreased,and the differences were significant (t =3.98,2.55,4.86;P =0.01,0.03,0.00);compared with the hyperoxia group,the cell survival rate,viability and SOD level of hyperoxia + LXA4 group [(88 ± 5) %,1.43 ± 0.05,(6.50 ± 0.19) kU/L] significantly increased,and the differences were significant (t =4.83,3.52,6.78;P =0.01,0.02,0.00).The HO-1 mRNA and protein expression of hyperoxia group (0.57 ± 0.03,1.31 ± 0.11) increased as compared to air group (0.13 ± 0.03,0.24 ± 0.10),and the differences were significant (t =8.00,10.10;all P =0.00);the HO-1 expression of hyperoxia + LXA4 group (0.78 ± 0.08,1.82 ± 0.09) significantly increased as compared to hyperoxia group,and the differences were significant (t =3.94,8.82,all P=0.00).The levels of MCP-1 and IL-6 of hypemxia group [(1 025.18 ±35.51) rig/L,(1 136.65 ±160.01) ng/L] significantly increased as compared to air group [(467.63 ± 13.69) ng/L,(470.03 ± 118.22) ng/L],and the differences were significant (t =16.51,7.48;all P =0.00);the MCP-1 and IL-6 of hyperoxia + LXA4 group [(640.25 ± 61.03) ng/L,(655.48 ± 88.57) ng/L] significantly decreased as compared to hyperoxia group,and thedifferences were significant (t =11.40,5.40,all P =0.00).Conclusions LXA4 can attenuate hyperoxia-induced injury in MLE-12 cells.The protective role of LXA4 in the hyperoxia-induced cell injury is related to the up-regulation of HO-1 expression and down-regulation of IL-6 and MCP-1 levels.
Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily members are key regulators for lung development and progress of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The mechanisms by which lipoxin A 4 (LXA 4 ) attenuates development of BPD have not been clarified. Neonatal murine BPD models were inducted by hyperoxia treatment. Neonatal mice were exposed to room air or 85% O 2 hyperoxia with or without treatment with 5S,6R-methyl-LXA 4 or anti-TGF-β antibodies. Mouse lung epithelial cells (MLE-12 cells) and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (NIH/3T3 cells) were cultured in room air or 85% O 2 followed by treatment of LXA 4 , anti-TGF-β antibodies, and let-7c mimic/anti-microRNA transfections. Treatment with 5S,6R-methyl-LXA 4 and anti-TGF-β antibodies both attenuated the mice alveolar simplification induced by hyperoxia. Hyperoxia treatment significantly altered pulmonary basal mRNA and protein expressions of several important extracellular matrix (ECM) and ECM remodeling proteins including fibronectin, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), elastin, tenascin C, collagen I, and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1). 5S,6R-methyl-LXA 4 and anti-TGF-β antibodies suppressed the mRNA and protein expressions of TGF-β 1 and TGF-βR1 but not TGF-βR2 in the lungs exposed to hyperoxia. Treatment with LXA 4 and anti-TGF-β antibodies alleviated hyperoxia-induced injury of the NIH/3T3 cells identified by morphologic observation and flow cytometry, and expressions of ECM, ECM remodeling proteins, and TGF-β 1 signaling pathway, but reversed by transfection with let-7c anti-miRNA. LXA 4 upregulated the let-7c expression in MLE-12 cells, transfection with let-7c anti-miRNA, inhibited the LXA 4 -induced let-7c expression in MLE-12 cells exposed to hyperoxia and reduced the relative luciferase activity of let-7c binding with let-7c binding sites of the TGF-βR1 3′ UTR. Treatment with 5S,6R-methyl-LXA 4 and anti-TGF-β antibodies significantly improved histology, ECM, and ECM remodeling proteins in the lungs isolated from the murine BPD model induced by hyperoxia. The LXA 4 -imparted protective effects on hyperoxia-induced lung injury are mediated by upregulation of let-7c and inhibition of TGF-β 1 and subsequent downregulation of TGF-β 1 signaling pathway.
