ObjectiveTo observe the effect of irbesartan and triptolide combination on the level of urine protein in patients with diabetic nephropathy at high altitude area.MethodsFifty patients with diabetic nephropathy (24-hour urine protein excretion over 1.0 g and serum creatinine level below 265.2 μmol/L) at high altitude area were randomly divided into two groups,the control group were treated with irbesartan 150 mg/d for three months,and the treatment group received irbesartan 150 mg/d combined with triptolide 40 mg/d for three months.24-hour urine protein concentration,arterial pressure,liver function and renal function were measured before and after the treatment.Results After three months' treatment,the levels of 24-hour urine protein and arterial pressure were significantly lower in both control and treatment group (P ＜ 0.01 ).Twenty-four hour urine protein in treatment group were reduced from ( 8.34 ± 1.29) g before treatment to (6.42 ± 0.95 ) g after treatment ( t =5.994,P ＜ 0.001 ).Twenty four-hour urine protein in control group were reduced from (8.57 ± 0.53 )g before treatment to (7.10 ± 0.79 )g after treatment( t =7.730,P ＜ 0.001 ).Systolic pressure in treatment group were reduced from ( 152.04 ± 18.80)mm Hg before treatment to ( 131.24 ± 10.56)mm Hg after treatment(t =4.817,P ＜ 0.001 ) ; Diastolic pressure in treatment group was reduced from (93.60 ± 11.36 )mm Hg before treatment to ( 82.68 ± 7.30) mm Hg after treatment ( t =4.053,P ＜ 0.001 ).Systolic pressure in control group were reduced from ( 151.20 ± 10.17 ) mm Hg before treatment to ( 130.00 ± 10.10 ) mm Hg after treatment(t =7.396,P ＜ 0.001 );Diastolic pressure in treatment group were reduced from (92.76 ± 7.03 )mm Hg before treatment to (84.20 ± 7.56)mmHg after treatment (t =4.147,P ＜ 0.01 ).No statistic differences were observed in liver function and renal function before and after the treatment ( P ＞ 0.01 ).Conclusion Irbesartan and triptolide combination can reduce 24-hour urine protein to a certain extent and donot adversely affect liver function and renal function in patients with diabetic nephropathy at high altitude area

BACKGROUND:It is accepted that the best method for spermatogonial stem cells separation is using artificial cryptorchism model combined with surface makers.OBJECTIVE:To explore the feasibility of separation spermatogonial stem cells with ?6-integrin and c-kit as specific surface markers.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The randomized control experiment was performed at the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from May to December 2006.MATERIALS:Forty adult,white Kunming mice with 6 weeks old were randomly divided into cryptorchidism and control groups,with 20 animals in each group.METHODS:Artificial cryptorchidism model was prepared by made an incision at the median of abdomen,and testis was pulled into abdominal cavity,which was fixed at the each side of lateral abdominal wall.There was no treatment in the control group.The single cell suspension of seminiferous epithelium was obtained by traditional two step enzyme digestion at 2-3 months after operation.FITC-conjugated anti-?6-intergrin antibody and PE-conjugated anti-c-kit antibodies were added.Then the cells with low side scatter light-scattering properties were sorted and positively stained for ?6-intergrin and negative c-kit expression.Meanwhile,the viability of the isolated cells was assessed by trypan blue staining.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The morphological changes of cryptorchidism,and the sorting results of spermatogonial stem cells.RESULTS:Cell distribution in seminiferous tubule was disorder with reduced numbers.The layer and lumens were disappeared,and cell division phase could be seen in the center of tubules.Compared to the control group,the testicular cells in the cryptorchidism group were increased in the side scatterlow,Forward scatterhi areas,with figure left-upward displacement.The distribution of ?6-integrin+ and c-kit cells were deviated each other,it named that most ?6-integrin+ cell were not spermatogonial stem cells,so do the c-kit-cells.Only 2.8% of testicular cells exhibited side scatterlow,?6-integrin+,and c-kit-,which were spermatogonial stem cells in the cryptorchidism group.And trypan blue staining showed that over 95% of them were viable.CONCLUSION:Using the two surface markers to sort spermatogonial stem cells can advance the purity of the spermatogonial stem cells in cell suspension,but the specificity is insufficient.

Objective To study the effect of flee radical on kidney repedusion injury caused by infra-renal abdominal aorta occlusion in rat model and its possible mechanism. Methods Forty-two healthy Wis-ter rats were randondy divided into 6 groups as following ( n = 7) : the control group( sham group) ; simply isehemia 5 h without reperfusion( group I) ; 2 hours reperfusinn following ischemia 5 h ( I/R 2 h), 4 honrs reperfusion following isebemia 5 h ( I/R 4 h), 8 hours reperfusinn following ischemia 5 h( I/R 8 h) and 12 hours reperfusion following ischemia 5 h ( I/R 12 h). In each group the rats were killed to obtain samples of blood and kidney at the specified time points. The contents of BUN, Cr, MDA, SOD in blood and in renal homogenate were measured in each group. We observed the morphological changes of kidney and muscles of lower limb by light microscope. Results BUN level of serum in model group I, I/R 2 h, I/R 4 h, I/R 12 h were higher obvionsly than those of control group, which were maximal in I/R 4 h, then decreased. MDA level of plasma in model group I, I/R 2 h, I/R 4 h, I/R 8 h, I/R 12 h groups were higher obvionsly than those of control group, which were maximal in I/R4 h group, then decreased. SOD level of plasma in model I/R 4 h, I/R 8 h groups were lower obviously than those of control group; SOD level of renal homogenate in model group I, I/R 2 h, I/R 8 h, I/R 12 h groups were higher obviously than those of group I/R 4 h, which were minimal in I/R 4 h group, then increased. By light microscope: The injury degree of kidney and muscles of lower limb in ischemia group was slight, the injury degree of repedusion group was severer than ischemia group. Conclusion The kidney repedusion injury caused by infrarenal abdominal aorta occlusion in rat model might be concerned with the increase of lipid peroxidatian damage after ischemia-repedusion in-jury of lower limbs.
