Objective To evaluate the effects of blood perfusion(HP)combined with hemodialysis(HD)on micro inflammation and malnutrition status in patients with maintenance of hemodialysis(MHD). Methods Eighty MHD patients admitted to blood purification center of Wuhan Puai Hospital in Hubei Province were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups. Pure HD group underwent conventional HD for 4 hours,3 times a week,and based on the weekly HD series,the HD+HP group took additionally HP once a week,the therapeutic course in both groups being consecutive 12 weeks. Blood was collected before and after treatment for detection of interleukin-6. (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and homocysteine (Hcy) levels were determined with electrochemiluminescence immunoassay,and the changes in nutritional indexes of hemoglobin(Hb),total protein(TP), albumin(Alb),transferrin(TRF)were observed. Results Compared with the indexes before treatment,in HD+HP group,hs-CRP(ng/L:5.65±2.21 vs. 13.91±2.10),IL-6(ng/L:50.10±6.65 vs. 101.22±21.32),TNF-α(ng/L:80.21±9.41 vs. 197.64±25.47),Hcy(μmol/L:13.31±2.21 vs. 40.96±9.42)were significantly decreased (all P<0.05),and Hb(g/L:106.65±22.21 vs. 92.01±12.10),TP(g/L:62.10±22.65 vs. 51.22±11.32),Alb (g/L:38.21±6.41 vs. 30.84±5.47),TRF(μg/L:196.31±22.21 vs. 161.96±15.42)were significantly increased (all P<0.05);but the above parameters in HD group did not change significantly(all P>0.05). There were statistical significant differences in above indexes after treatment between HD+HP group and HD group〔hs-CRP (ng/L):5.65±2.21 vs. 13.22±1.10,IL-6(ng/L):50.10±6.65 vs. 100.32±25.24,TNF-α(ng/L):80.21±9.41 vs. 196.87±24.54,Hcy(μmol/L):13.31±2.21 vs. 37.23±8.33,Hb(g/L):106.65±22.21 vs. 94.22±13.10,TP (g/L):62.10±22.65 vs. 51.32±12.32,Alb(g/L):38.21±6.41 vs. 32.87±4.54,TRF(μg/L):196.31±22.21 vs. 162.23±15.33,all P<0.05〕. Conclusion HP combined with HD in the treatment of MHD can improve the micro inflammation and malnutrition state in patients with MHD.

Objective To investigate the effect of angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ) type 1 receptor block irbesartan on the expression of renal cyclooxygenase-2 ( COX-2 ) in rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods 18 rats were divided into control group, diabetes mellitus group and treating group.Immunohistochemistry was used to measure the expression of COX-2, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1).The urinary TXB2,6-Ket-PGF1 αconcentration was determined by radioimmunoassay at the 6th week .Results There was an increasing expression of COX-2,TIMP-1 and decreasing M MP-9 ( COX-2:0.39 ± 0.02 vs 0.24 ± 0.04, TIMP :0.41 ± 0.03 vs 0.24 ± 0.02,MMP-9:0.24 ± 0.02 vs 0.32 ± 0.02, P ＜ 0.05 ) expression in the diabetes mellitus group ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Irbesartan could increase MMP-9 (0.29 ± 0.03 ) and depress TIMP-1 (0.34 ± 0.02) expression through inhibiting the expression of COX-2(0.31 ± 0.03) in renal tissue.Conclusions COX-2 was involved in the pathogenesis of the injury of type 2 diabetic nephropathy.Irbesartan might exert its renoprotective effects through inhibiting COX-2 activity, modulating the expression of MMP-9 and TIMP-1.

Objective To analyze probable risk factors to Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura (HSP) in Tibetan children so as to bring evidences for correct identification of high-risk children in plateau areas. Methods 140 high-altitude Tibetan children with HSP admitted to Shannan People's Hospital of Tibet Autonomous Region from October 2015 to October 2018 were enrolled, and 140 high-altitude Tibetan healthy children and 140 plain area HSP children were selected as the control. Gender, age, family history, allergy, past history (rheumatic disease, autoimmune disease, asthma), clinical phenotype, biochemical markers (antibody positive rate, platelet count and hemoglobin), clinical efficacy and recurrence were retrospective analyzed. The risk factors of HSP in the high-altitude Tibetan children were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results It was shown by univariate analysis that the proportion of allergic history and past history of high-altitude HSP children was higher than those of high-altitude healthy children (allergic history: 35.7% vs. 11.4%, past history: 21.4% vs. 5.7%, both P < 0.05). Compared with plain area HSP children, the age of high-altitude HSP children was increased (years old: 6.5±2.3 vs. 5.3±2.2), the clinical phenotype was more complex (37.9% vs. 57.1% for simple skin and limb type, 21.4% vs. 14.3% for abdominal type, 28.6% vs. 21.4% for renal type, 7.1% vs. 5.0% for brain or lung type, 5.0% vs. 2.2% for complex type), the positive rate of antibody was increased (64.3% vs. 50.0%), platelet count was decreased (×109/L: 116.2±12.3 vs. 176.8±35.4), hemoglobin level was increased (g/L: 125.6±15.7 vs. 113.8±10.9), recurrence rate was lower (4.3% vs. 10.7%), and the difference was statistically significant (all P < 0.05). It was shown by multivariate Logistic regression analysis that age, allergic history and past history were independent risk factors for HSP in high-altitude Tibetan children [age: odds ratio (OR) = 1.263, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.063-1.968; allergic history: OR = 1.765, 95%CI = 1.326-2.452, past history: OR =1.421, 95%CI = 1.102-2.232, all P < 0.05]. Clinical phenotypic and biochemical indexes were important risk factors affecting the clinical efficacy of high-altitude Tibetan HSP children (non-simple skin and limb type: OR = 2.123, 95%CI =1.623-2.869; antibody positive: OR = 1.865, 95%CI = 1.502-2.768; both P < 0.05). Conclusions It is different of HSP occurrence in Tibetan children from plateau and plain areas. Attention should be paid to screening age, allergy history, past history, clinical phenotype, antibody positive and other high risk children. Early and effective intervention can improve clinical curative effect and reduce recurrence.

Objective　 : To evaluate the implementation, application, and problems and suggestions of the Radiation Shield- ing Requirements in Room of Radiotherapy Installations—Part 1: General Principle (GBZ/T 201.1—2007) through a survey of relevant personnel in radiation health technical service institutions, and to provide a scientific basis for further revision and implementation of this standard. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among randomly selected per- sonnel in radiation health technical services across China, which mainly investigated the awareness, training, application, and revision suggestions related to the GBZ/T 201.1—2007. The results were aggregated and analyzed. Results: A total of 184 evaluation questionnaires on the GBZ/T 201.1—2007 were collected from technical service staff in 25 provinces. Among the responders, 64.1% thought that the standard had been widely applied; 91.8% thought that the standard could meet work needs; only 54.3% ever received relevant training on the standard; 68.5% used the standard once or more per year; 33.7% thought that the standard needed to be revised. Conclusion The personnel in radiation health technical services have a high awareness rate of the GBZ/T 201.1—2007 and its contents, but their familiarity with and application of the standard need to be improved. Relevant departments should strengthen the training and promotion of the standard, and part of the standard should be revised.
