Objective:To observe the effect of blood glucose lfuctuation and the sustained high blood glucose on renal pathological change and collagen IV (Col IV) expression in diabetic rats.
Methods:hTe 60 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned into a normal control group (NC) and a model group (DM). hTe rats in the normal control group were fed with normal diet, while the rats in the model group were fed with high-sucrose-high-fat diet for 6 weeks. Atfer that,streptozocin (STZ, 30 mg/kg) was injected to induce diabetic model. The model group was then randomly divided into 2 subgroups:a sustained high blood glucose group and a fluctuation blood glucose group (animals in the latter group were subcutaneously injected with insulin twice daily). Rats were sacriifced atfer 3 months and kidney tissues were dissected for HE and PAS staining, Col IV immunohistochemistry and Western blot.
Results:Compared with the normal control group, the renal glomeruli and capillary basal membrane in the diabetic rats was getting larger and thicker, respectively;the capsular space and ground substance was extended and increased, respectively;the volume of renal tubule, kidney hypertrophy index, glomeruler sclerosis index and Col IV content were all increased in the diabetic rats (P<0.01). Compared with the sustained high blood glucose group, the above mentioned pathological changes were more serious in the blood glucose lfuctuation group.
Conclusion:The capillary basal membrane of kidney in diabetic rats is thicker and the ground substance is increased. The degree of glomeruler sclerosis is more serious in the blood glucose lfuctuation group compared with the sustained high blood glucose group, which is conifrmed by the increased level of Col IV.

BACKGROUND:Rehabilitation brace can significantly improve the motor function of patients with post-stroke hemiplegia. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the types and biocompatibility of brace materials for post-stroke hemiplegia. METHODS: A computer-based search of Wanfang, CNKI, PubMed databases was performed for articles related to post-stroke hemiplegia and biocompatibility of brace materials published from 1999 to 2015 using the keywords of cerebral apoplexy, hemiplegia, support, material in Chinese and English, respectively. In the same field, the articles published recently or in authoritative journals were preferred. Finaly, 15 articles were enroled in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Thermoplastic orthoses are mainly made of polypropylene materials, which are used for foot drop caused by post-stroke hemiplegia. Polypropylene has high strength and good toughness, and it is also safe and non-toxic. Semi-rigid planta pedis can help the lift of the toe in swing phase. Orthoses made of polymer fiber materials are characterized by ease of use, good toughness, high strength, and good air permeability, which cannot impact X-ray examination. Carbon fiber materials have light mass, high specific strength and modulus, good anti-fatigue performance, good safety performance and good designability. Clinical trials have shown that patients wearing ankle foot orthoses made of polypropylene and carbon fiber materials have improvement in walking distance and speed of climbing stairs, and these patients also feel more balanced and secure. Experimental studies on different orthotics materials can get more patient preferences, which have a great help for the design and development of orthotics materials.
