Chinese Journal of Nephrology 2014;30(9):679-683
Objective To study the relationship of angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor (AT1R) autoantibody (AT1-AA) and renal cell apoptosis induced by caspase-12 in diabetic nephropathy (DN)rats.Methods High-sucrose and high-fat diet and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (35 mg/kg) were utilized to establish DN rat model.Serum AT1-AA was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and renal cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining.Furthermore,the mRNA levels of the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) chaperone protein glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and ERS-associated apoptosis protein caspase-12 were measured by real-time quantitative PCR.Additionally,the levels of GRP78 and caspase-12 protein were measured by Western blotting.Results The renal cell apoptosis rate in DN group was increased significantly (P < 0.01),and the renal cells apoptosis rate in AT1-AA positive DN group was higher than that in AT1-AA negative DN group [(20.05±1.71)% vs (13.24±4.93)%,P < 0.01].The mRNA expressions of GRP78 and caspase-12 in DN group,in comparison to NC group,were increased significantly (P < 0.01),as well as the proteins (P < 0.01).And the expression of these mRNA and proteins had significant increment in AT1-AA positive DN rats when compared with AT1-AA negative DN rats (P < 0.05).Conclusions AT1-AA can induce ERS in the renal tissue of DN rats,and promote renal cell apoptosis likely via the modulation of caspase-12 signaling pathway.

Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2014;(11):698-700
Metastasis-associated in coIon cancer 1(MACC1)is a recentIy discovered gene which is cIoseIy associated with coIorectaI cancer metastasis,and aIso pIay an important roIe in metastasis of other tumors. Some ceII signaIing pathways or bioIogicaI moIecuIes may be invoIved in the reguIation of MACC1 expression and reIevant mechanism of MACC1 promoting tumor invasion and metastasis. However,the reguIation mechanism and pathways of MACC1 expression are currentIy not compIeteIy known. This articIe reviewed the roIe and mechanism of reguIation of MACC1 expression in the deveIopment and progression of tumor.

Background Retinal vascular caliber changes can reflect the development status of cardiovascular disease and diabetes-associated vascular diseases,so it is very important to quantitatively measure retinal vascular caliber in the study of systemic diseases and retinal vascular disease.However,the methodology study is rately seen in China within our knowledge.Objective The present study was to investigate the repeatability and reproducibility of IVAN software in measuring retinal vascular caliber.Methods This study was approved by Ethic Committee of Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University,and written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to medical examination.A prospectively diagnostic trail was performed.The digitized fundus color photograph centered on the disc from 192 eyes of 96 healthy volunteers were collected in Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from January,2013 to December,2014,and central retinal arteriolar equivalent (CRAE),central retinal venular equivalent (CRVE) and arteriovenous ratio (AVR) were analyzed by IVAN measurement software.The repeatability and reproducibility of IVAN software for random repeat measurement of retinal vessel caliber from consecutive 85 right eyes of 85 volunteers were evaluation by interobserver and intraobserver measurement with interclass correlation coefficient (ICC).The correlations of measuring results between two observers or two-time measuring were analyzed with Pearson linear correlation analysis.Bland-Altman agreeement analysis was employed to assess the agreeement of the outcomes.Results No significant differences were found in CRAE,CRVE and AVR between the right eyes and the left eyes (t=-1.009,1.090,-1.259,all at P>0.05).The CRAE,CRVE and AVR values from observer 1 were (145.02±12.94) μm,(400.72±9.12) μm and 0.36±0.03,and those from observer 2 were (145.10 ± 11.86) μm,(401.17 ± 9.85) μm and 0.36 ± 0..03,with no significant differences between observer 1 and observer 2 (t =-0.074,-0.913,0.116,all at P>0.05).The repeat CRAE,CRVE and AVR values from observer 1 were (145.02 ± 12.94) μm,(400.72 ±9.12) μm and 0.36 ±0.03,which were significantly different from the initial values (t =-0.777,-0.048,-0.745,all at P>0.05).In two-time measurements of intraobserver,all ICC were ≥0.738 and showed good correlations (all at r≥0.739).The two measurements of interobserver,showed good correlations (r≥ 0.662),with all ICC ≥ 0.657.Bland-Altman plots showed good agreements in CRAE and CRVE measurement with 95% limits of agreement(LoA) ranged from-18.5 μm to 17.3 μm and-9.8 μm to 9.6 μm in intraobserver,and from-19.3 μm to 20.0 μm and-10.2 μm to 9.0 μm in interobserver,respectively.Conclusions IVAN measurement software yields good repeatability and reproducibility in the quantitative measurement of retinal vascular caliber.

Objective To investigate the pathological features and clinical characteristics of primary mitochondrial myopathy and encephalomyopathy. Methods 11 cases of mitochondrial myopathy and encephalomyopathy were analyzed on clinical features, histochemical changes and ultrastructure observations of muscles. Results RRFs were found in all 11 cases by muscle staining of MGT under light microscope. 7 cases were only afflicated with muscle weakness, 4 cases also having impairment of central nervous system. The proportion of RRFs was 6.4% to 10.3%. We observed these cases under electronic microscope. In 9 cases,the ultrastructural alterations included subsarcolemmal accumulation of mitochondria,increases of the number,abnormal shape,disarrangement of cristae and paracrystaline inclusion bodies. In 2 cases the increase of mitochondrial number is only the alteration. Conclusions Typical RRF is valuable for diagnoses of mitochondrial myopathy and encephalomyopathy under light microscope. The accumulation of abnormal mitochondrials beneath sarcolemal,especially the paracrystaline inclusion bodies are significant in making a definite diagnosis of this disease under electronic microscope.
