Diabetic nephropathy presents an increasing trend worldwide. It has been an attractive area to find novel targets for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. SIRT1 (Sirtuin 1), a member of deacetylation enzymes, regulates cell senescence, metabolism, and apoptosis. In last ten years, lots of studies showed that SIRT1 exerts a protective effect in the progression of the diabetic nephropathy by promoting reconstruction of energy homeostasis, modulating cell redox state, resisting cell apoptosis, inhibiting inflammation and ameliorating renal fibrosis. SIRT1 has become a potential new target for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.

BACKGROUND:Lots of bone graft materials such as autologous iliac bone, autologous rib, titanium mesh plus alograft are available in the treatment of bone defects after spinal tuberculosis debridement. OBJECTIVE: To compare the fixation effect of different kinds of bone graft materialsvia pedicle approach fixation for treatment of thoracic spinal tuberculosis. METHODS: Totaly 40 patients with thoracic spinal tuberculosis were enroled, including 18 patients accompanied with paraplegia and 15 patients accompanied with kyphosis deformity. Both of them were subjected to by standard anti-tuberculosis treatment for 2-4 weeks and consequent posterior pedicle screw fixation combined with debridement/bone grafting fusion. They were grouped by the variables of bone graft materials: autologous iliac bone, autologous rib, titanium mesh plus alograft groups. Al patients were folowed up for 24 months. The lesion healing, bone graft fusion, rehabilitation of paraplegia, correction of kyphosis and incidence of adverse reaction were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The time of bone graft fusion in the autologous iliac bone group was shorter than that in the autologous rib and titanium mesh plus alograft groups (P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference between autologous rib and titanium mesh plus alograft groups. No adverse phenomenons such as grafts and titanium mesh faling off, fracture and displacement, nonunion and pseudarthrosis, tuberculosis recurrence were found in these three groups. After the symptomatic therapy for 3-6 months, the muscle strength of patients with paraplegia and spinal kyphosis deformity basically recovered, spinal kyphosis deformity was basically corrected. These results demonstrate that the treatment effect of autologous iliac bone is the best; however, the treatment effect of autologous rib is as good as the titanium mesh plus allograft.

OBJECTlVE To study the anti-HBV activity of prepared recombinant human serum aIbu-min-interferon α-2b fusion protein(HSA-IFNα-2b) in vitro. METHODS HepG2 ceIIs were infected with recombinant adenovirus with green fIuorescence protein and 1.6-foId HBV DNA(AdGFP-HBV). The ex-pression of HBV antigens,HBsAg and HBeAg in cuIture medium was detected by ELISA assay. The tox-icity of HSA-IFNα-2b on HepG2 ceIIs was evaIuated by mTT assay.The reIative expression of HBV RNA in ceIIs and the absoIute quantity of HBV DNA in cuIture supernatant were determined by quantitative PCR assay. The activity of HBV enhancer Ⅰ was detected by DuaI-Reporter gene assay. RESULTS HBV couId repIicate and express in HepG2 ceIIs after infection with AdGFP-HBV. The expression of HBsAg and HBeAg in cuIture serum of HepG2 ceIIs infected with AdGFP-HBV decreased by 51.32%(P﹤0.01)and 50.26%(P﹤0.01),respectiveIy,when HSA-IFNα-2b 500 kU·L-1 was added. The same concentration of HSA-IFNα-2b didn't inhibit the proIiferation of HepG2 ceIIs,but inhibited HBsAg in a concentration-dependent manner. The regression formuIa between HBsAg inhibitory rate(Y)and con-centration of HSA-IFNα-2b(X)was Y=21.11 IgX+11.91(r 2 = 0.954),IC50 = 63.76 kU·L-1 .

To study the anticancer activities of curcumin on human hepatocarcinoma cell line Sk-hep-1 and its related molecular mechanism which has not been elucidated. In the present study,we showed that curcumin inhibited proliferation of Sk-hep-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner through MTF assay. The effect of curcumin on apoptosis in Sk-hep-1 cells was investigated by DAPI staining and the various apoptosis was observed in hepatocarcinoma cell lines Sk-hep-1, HepG2 and Hep3B, but not in normal liver cell line Chang's liver with curcumin treatment. Cell cycle analysis results showed that curcumin treatment resulted in dramatic accumulation of Sk-hep-1 cells at the G0/G1 or G2/M phase. The effect of curcumin on the expression of anti-apoptosis genes (Survivin and BCl-xL) and drug resistance genes (DRG2 and MDR1) was studied by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The expression of MDR1 mRNA was significantly decreased in Sk-hep-1 cells treated with curcumin, while no alterations in the amount of DRG2 and anti-apoptosis genes' mRNA levels were found. These results indicate that curcumin is able to inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in Sk-hep-1 cells and it may cause by down-regulating the expression of MDR1 mRNA.
