Objective To investigate the expression of Shh, Ptch, Smo and Gli1 proteins who belongs to components of Hedgehog signaling pathway, and to explore the relationship between the abnormal activated of Hedgehog signaling path?way with renal clear cell carcinoma (RCCC). Methods Protein expressions were examined by immunohistochemistry in 76 cases of human RCCC and 12 pericarcinomatous tissues. And 10 fresh specimens from cancer tissues and pericarcinoma?tous tissues were used to examine expressions of Shh, Ptch, Smo and Gli1 by Western blotting. Results The expressions of examined proteins were higher in RCCC than that in pericarcinomatous tissue. Shh (52.6%vs 8.3%), Ptch (63.2%vs 16.7%), Smo (44.7%vs 8.3%) and Gli1 (60.5%vs 25.0%). The increased proteins levels were disassociated with age, gender, and tu?morous size in RCCC. But it was significantly correlated with TNM stage of RCCC. The expressions were gradually increased with higher TNM stage of RCCC or more invasive malignancy. Conclusion Hedgehog signaling pathway is highly activated in RCCC. It might be involved in initiation, progression of RCCC, and it might be used as the target for RCCC treatment.

BACKGROUND: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are conveniently cultured and separated in vitro because theirimmunogenicity is low. Therefore, BMSCs are suitable for cell transplantation. Research has shown that BMSCs are potential to repair neurological defect. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether in vitro cultured BMSCs can be transplanted to repair peripheral nerve injury or not, and to investigate its mechanisms. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized controlled animal study This study was performed in Department of Toxicology, Public Health College of Jilin University from March 2006 to March 2007.MATERIALS: Fifty healthy female Wistar rats aging 2 months and six 1-week-old female Wistar rats were used for extraction of BMSCs. Rabbit-anti-nerve growth factor (NGF) monoclonal antibody was provided by Santa Cruz Company. METHODS:BMSCs were separated and cultured with adherent method. In the 3rd generation, BMSCs were preiabeled with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) 48 hours before transplantation. Fifty healthy Wistar rats were selected to prepare sciatic nerve crush injury models with clamping method.Subsequently, rats were randomly divided into transplantation group and control group, with 25 rats in each group. Rats in the transplantation group underwent transplantation of BrdU-labeied BMSCs at nerve injured sites; while, the same volume DMEM was injected into rats in the control group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Injured nerve in the transplantation group suffered from anti-BrdU staining 1, 2, 4, and 6 weeks after surgery. Distal injured nerve in both groups suffered from NGF immunohistochemical staining 1, 2, 4, and 6 weeks after surgery. Image analysis system was adopted to analyze integrated absorbance of positive expression. Gait analysis was performed every week after surgery to measure sciatic nerve function index, and it was also adopted to measure regenerated nerve conduction velocity 6 weeks after surgery. Subsequently, amount and inner diameter of medullated nerve fibers were calculated after luxol fast blue staining, while wet weight of experimental-lateral gastrocnemius muscle and cross section area of muscle fiber were measured at the same time. RESULTS: Fifty rats were included in the final analysis. BrdU-labeled positive cells could be found at injured nerve in the transplantation group 1, 2, and 4 weeks after surgery. Integrated absorbance of NGF protein expression in the transplantation group was significantly higher than that in the control group 1 and 2 weeks after surgery (P < 0.01), but there were no significant differences between the two groups 4 and 6 weeks after surgery (P > 0.05). Sciatic nerve function index in the transplantation group superiorly recovered to that in the control group 3-6 weeks after surgery. Furthermore, 6 weeks after surgery, nerve conduction velocity, amount and diameter of medullated nerve fibers, wet weight and cross section area of gastrocnemius muscle in the transplantation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05-0.01). CONCLUSION: BMSCs can be transplantated into injuried nerve tissue, and promote the recovery of nerve function in the micro-enviroment, improve NGF expression in an early phase may be one of its mechanisms.

BACKGROUND: Previous researches have proved that both atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) exist in the same endocrine granule of enterochromaffin cell (EC). However, whether ANP may promote or inhibit synthesis and secretion of 5-HT needs to be further studied. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of ANP on synthesis and secretion of 5-HT in EC of rat gastric mucosa.DESIGN: Randomized controlled animals study.SETTING: Immunology Laboratory, Chengde Medical College. MATERIALS: This study was performed at the Immunology Laboratory, Chengde Medical College from October 2004 to July 2007. Forty adult male Wistar rats were provided by the Experimental Animal Center of Chengde Medical College. The experiment was in accordance with animal ethics standards. ANP, 5-HT antibody and serum were provided by Santa Cruz Biotechnology Company, USA.METHODS: Forty rats were randomly into endocrine and exocrine groups, and rats in the two groups were sub-grouped into control and experimental groups with 10 in each group. ANP (28 μg, 14 mg/L) was directly injected into the stomach to mimic ANP luminal secretion and ANP (14 μg, 14 mg/L) was directly injected into the sublingual vein to mimic ANP endocrinal secretion. In above condition, 5-HT immunoreactive positive cell was displayed by using immunohistochemistry technique, numerical density (Nv) of endocrine granule (SG) was counted by using electron microscopic morphometry, and 5-HT level in the serum was measured by using HPLC-ECD technique. And then, the results were compared to the control group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Effects of ANP on density of 5-HT immunoreactive positive cell, numerical density (Nv) of SG and 5-HT level in the serum. RESULTS: Effect of luminal and endocrine ANP on the 5-HT secretion: The density of immunoreactive positive cell and the numerical density (Nv) of SG were significantly increased by luminal and endocrine ANP (P<0.05), while 5-HT level in serum was significantly reduced by luminal and endocrine ANP (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Luminal and endocrinal ANP can inhibit 5-HT release of gastric mucosa but may not change or enhancement its synthesis in rat.

Objective:To investigate the effect of potassium sodium hydrogen citrate in the treatment of renal uric acid calculi with heavy load.Methods:The clinical data of 6 patients with intrarenal high-load uric acid calculi (long diameter >4 cm) treated with potassium sodium hydrogen citrate in our hospital from January 2018 to July 2020 were reviewed. All of the patients were male. Their ages ranged from 42 to 66 years, with an average age of 51.3 years old. The average length to diameter was 6.0(4.1-7.6) cm. The average density of stone was 475 (418-535) HU. The average blood uric acid was 453.3(258.7-570.0)μmol/L, and all patients had a urine pH ≤5.5. The blood uric acid level was higher than normal serum uric acid level before treatment, and 3 cases had a history of gout. Stone composition analysis revealed 100% uric acid stone in two patients before treatment. The remaining patients were more likely to have uric acid calculi before treatment. None of the patients had a history of urinary tract infection. All patients were treated with oral potassium sodium hydrogen citrate. During the treatment, the starting dose was 10g/ day, which was divided into 2.5 g after breakfast, 2.5 g after lunch and 5.0 g after dinner. The dose was adjusted according to the pH value of urine, and the urine pH was maintained between 6.5-7.0. CT plain scan was repeated every 2-3 months during the treatment period to evaluate the treatment effect.Result:After 2.5-8.0 months’ treatment, the stone load of all the patients was reduced to different degrees, and the average length diameter was shortened by 3.2cm, among which two patients’ stones disappeared. CT scan showed the stone edge changed from smooth to rough after the treatment, and there would be worm erosion defect and cavity on the surface and inside of the stone, showing obvious stone dissolution phenomenon.Conclusions:Potassium sodium hydrogen citrate has a good therapeutic effect on renal uric acid calculi with heavy load. Non-infected patients with uric acid calculi should be treated with potassium sodium hydrogen citrate.
