AIM: To observe the effects of valsartan on the cardiac hypertrophy and the expression of PTEN in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). METHODS: Twenty 12-week-old male SHR were randomly divided into 2 groups:SHR positive control group and valsartan treating group ( 30 mg?kg -1?d -1). 10 homogenous Wistar-kyoto (WKY) rats were served as normal control group. Blood pressure and the ratio of left ventricular weight to body weight(LVW/BW)of rats were monitored periodically during the 8-weeks studies. Expression of PTEN in cardiac myocytes was determined by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Blood pressure and LVW/BW increased in the valsartan group more than those in the SHR control group, and the expression of PTEN in cardiac myocytes in valsartan group increased more than that in the SHR control group, but the indexes were lower than those in the WKY group. CONCLUSION: Valsartan can not only inhibit the progression of cardiac hypertrophy in spontaneously hypertensive rats, but also increase the expression of PTEN. PTEN may play a role in cardiac hypertrophy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between clinical data and pathological stage in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and to provide guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment. MethodsThe clinical data of 54 PBC patients were collected for analyzing the correlation between the clinical data and pathological stage. The clinical data included biochemical parameters, immunological markers, and autoantibodies. Biopsy of the liver was used for the pathological staging of PBC. For the continuous data of normal distribution, analysis of variance was applied for comparisons between groups; for continuous data of skewed distribution, Wilcoxon rank sum test was used. For categorical data, chi-square test was used. Correlation analysis was performed by Pearson correlation and logistic regression. ResultsAmong the 54 patients, the male-to-female ratio was 1∶5; the mean age was 48.9±9.3 years; pathological stage Ⅰ was identified in 15 cases, stage Ⅱ in 18 cases, stage Ⅲ in 12 cases, and stage Ⅳ in 9 cases, and patients with stage Ⅳ disease were significantly older than the other patients (P<0.05). Total bilirubin (TBil), alkaline phosphatase, prothrombin time, IgA, IgG, and SP200 were positively correlated with pathological stage (r=0.592, 0.343, 0.281, 0.388, 0.274, and 0.320, respectively, P<0.05), while a negative correlation was found between albumin and pathological stage (r=-0.569, P=0.000). Multivariate analysis revealed an independent correlation between TBil level and pathological stage (P=0.039). Patients with the same pathological stage might have different clinical stages, while those with the same clinical stage might have different pathological stages. ConclusionsThe same pathological stage may appear in different clinical stages. TBil level is an independent predictive factor for pathological stage in PBC patients.

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) accompanied by autoimmune phenomena and to provide evidence for clinical practice. MethodsAn analysis was performed on the clinical data of 51 patients who were admitted to Beijing You′an Hospital from 2011 to 2013 and diagnosed with DILI. The participants were divided into anti-nuclear antibody (ANA)-positive group and ANA-negative group and, according to the simple scoring system for autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), divided into low-score (sore: 1-4) group and high-score (score≥5) group, respectively. Comparison was made for laboratory parameters [alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBil), albumin (Alb), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), prothrombin time (PT), immunoglobulin M(IgM), immunoglobulin A(IgA), immunoglobulin G(IgG)], length of hospital stay, and recurrence. Comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups was performed by t test, comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between groups was made by rank-sum test, and comparison of categorical data between groups was conducted by chi-square test. Results Among the 51 patients, 34 cases were positive for ANA, and 17 cases were negative for ANA; 17 cases were in the high-score group, and 34 cases were in the low-score group. There were no significant differences in ALT, TBil, Alb, ALP, GGT, PT, and IgM between the two groups for both grouping criteria (all P>0.05). AST and IgG differed significantly between the two groups for both grouping criteria (all P<0.05). The IgG level and recurrence rate in the high-score group (3.87±1.73 g/L and 10/17) were significantly higher than those in the low-score group (2.75±1.38 g/L and 8/34) (both P<0.05). ConclusionThe clinical manifestations are similar between patients with DILI alone and those with DILI accompanied by autoimmune phenomena. The simple scoring system for AIH is worthy of clinical application in DILI accompanied by autoimmune phenomena.
