AIM:To investigate the protective effects and mechanism of mesenchymal stem cells on renal tubule cells treated by cisplatin.METHODS:The mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)were separated from mouse bone marrow.The necrosis and apoptosis rate of renal tubule cells induced by cisplatin were detected by flow cytometry.After co-culture with MSCs,the above changes of renal tubule cells were detected.RESULTS:In co-culture system,the apoptotic rates of renal tubule cell were decreased obviously and the cell number increased obviously.CONCLUSION:The MSCs protect the renal tubule cells from apoptosis induced by cisplatin.This effect may be related with the paracrine effects of MSCs.

Objective To explore the effect of enhanced physical therapy with integrated traditional and western medicine on muscularweakness after selective posterior rhizotomy. Methods 44 children with muscular weakness after selective posterior rhizotomy were dividedinto the treatment group (n=28) and the control group (n=16). Exercise therapy, physical therapy, electroacupuncture and Chinese massagewere applied to the treatment group, while exercise therapy was applied to the control group only. The muscle strength of the leg of childrenwere compared right after the surgery and 2 weeks after the surgery. Results The muscle strength of the leg of children in treatment group recoveredbetter than the control group 2 weeks after the surgery (P<0.05), and it was almost at the same level with that before surgery (P<0.05). Conclusion The enhanced physical therapy with integrated traditional and western medicine method could rapidly recover the musclestrength of the leg of children after SPR.

Objective To assess the effects of gastric bypass versus medical therapy in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Methods The Cochrane library, Embase, PubMed, Chinese biomedical literature database and Wanfang database up to April 2014 were searched. Randomized controlled trails(RCTs) of frequently-used bariatric surgery for obese patients with type 2 diabetes were included. Study selection, data extraction, quality assessment, and data analyses were performed according to the Cochrane standards. Results Four RCTs involving 157 patients in the gastric bypass groups and 152 patients in the medical therapy group were enrolled. Compared with medical therapy, gastric bypass for type 2 diabetes significantly decreased the levels of HbA1C(mean difference = -1. 85% , 95% CI -2. 15 ~ -1. 56, P< 0. 01), fasting blood glucose( standard mean difference = - 0. 90 mmol/ L, 95% CI-1. 24 ~ -0. 57, P<0. 01), body weight(mean difference=-23. 39 kg, 95% CI -29. 17 ~ -17. 61, P<0. 01), waist circumference(mean difference= -15. 36 cm, 95% CI -17. 51 ~ -13. 22, P<0. 01) and the dose of hypoglycemic medicine; while it increased the number of patients with HbA1C<6% (RR=5. 49, 95% CI 2. 22 ~ 13. 56, P<0. 01), the rate of adverse events(RR=1. 96, 95% CI 1. 42 ~ 2. 70, P<0. 01), and the level of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(mean difference=1. 24 mmol/ L, 95% CI 0. 64 ~ 1. 84, P<0. 01). Conclusions Gastric bypass surgery is more effective compared with medical therapy alone for obese patients with type 2 diabetes. Further intensive RCTs of high-quality in multiple centers with long-term follow-up should be carried out to provide more reliable evidences.

Objective To investigate the activation of β-sheet breaker peptide H102 on ERK signal transduction pathway in brain of PAP double transgenic mice. Methods PAP double transgenic mice were randomly divided into model group and H102 treatment group (n=10 for each group). A group of C57BL/6J mice with the same genetic background was served as controls. H102 (5.8 mg/kg) 5 μL was infused by intranasal administration to mice in H102 treatment group, and equal volume of blank solution of H102 (chitosan, BSA) was given to mice in control group and model group. The ability of spatial reference memory was tested by Morris water maze after 30 days of treatment. Then immunohistochemistry tests and Western blot technique were used to detect the content of RAS, P-MEK and P-ERK proteins in mouse brain. Results (1) The ability of learning and memory was significantly lower in model group than that of control group. The ability of learning and memory was significantly improved in treatment group than that in model group (P<0.05). (2) The contents of RAS, P-MEK and P-ERK in mouse brain were significantly lower in model group than those of control group, and these protein ex-pressions were significantly increased in treatment group than those in model group (P<0.01). Conclusion β-sheet break-er peptide H102 can activate ERK signal transduction pathway in brain of PAP double transgenic mice, increase PAS, P-MEK and P-ERK levels in nerve cells, and improve the ability of learning and memory in PAP mice.

Objective To study the immune regulation of antisense peptide in rats by observing immune function of activity fragments of thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) and their corresponding antisense peptides. Methods TSHR peptides TR1, TR2, TR3 and their antisense peptides RT1, RT2, RT3, and three pairs of complementary peptides were injected into rats of different groups respectively, and the serum levels of TT_3, TT_4, TSHR antibody (TRAb), thyroid stimmulating antibody, thyroid blocking antibody and TSH antibody (TSHAb) and pathological changes in thyroid tissue were investigated. Results Serum TRAb could be induced when each of three fragments of TSHR was injected into rats; TRAb and TSHAb were induced by RT1 or RT2; epithelial hyperplasia and lymphocytic infiltration observed in thyroid tissue of rats injected with TR2 could be abated by injecting RT2 subsequently. Conclusion The results suggest that all 3 TSHR fragments are shown to be immunogenic and are capable to induce TRAb; both RT1 and RT2 show their effect on immune regulation and are idiotypic of TSHR peptides; On the other hand, the humoural and cell immunities are ameliarated by injection of antisense peptides. Therefore, it is possible that antisense peptides may be involved in immune regulation via immune network.

Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2019;24(4):235-238
Enteral nutrition (EN) can promote intestinal mucosal healing, and has some therapeutic value in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). However, studies on application and efficacy of EN in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) are rare. Aims: To investigate the therapeutic effect of EN in patients with moderate to severe active UC who have nutritional risk. Methods: A total of 90 moderate to severe UC patients with nutritional risk from January 2016 to January 2018 at the First People's Hospital of Qujing and First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University were enrolled, and were divided into EN group and non-EN group. Mayo score, body mass index (BMI) and levels of hemoglobin (HGB), albumin (ALB) and total protein (TP) before and after treatment in EN group and non-EN group were analyzed. Results: There were no significant differences in Mayo score, BMI, HGB, ALB and TP between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05). After treatment, Mayo score was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and ALB, TP were significantly increased in EN group (P<0.05); while Mayo score, BMI were significantly decreased in non-EN group (P<0.05). After treatment, BMI, ALB, TP were significantly higher in EN group than in non-EN group (P<0.05). Conclusions: EN can effectively improve the nutritional status of patients with UC and play an auxiliary role in improving the disease.

AIM: The selective recognition of the sense peptides which are located in special regions of thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) by their corresponding antisense peptides has been investigated. Three pairs of sense and antisense peptides were named TR1 (aa37-45) and RT1 (aa45-37), TR2 (aa353-366) and RT2 (aa366-353), TR3 (aa648-655) and RT3 (aa655-648). METHODS: To prepare three affinity chromatography columns, antisense peptides were immobilized, called RT1-sepharose 4B, RT2-sepharose 4B and RT3-sepharose 4B, respectively and investigate the retardative behavior for each of native peptide TR1, TR2 or TR3 on above columns with stepwise elution. RESULTS: Each of the three immobilized antisense peptides recognized and retarded its corresponding sense peptide-TR1, TR2 or TR3 instead of those non-complementary peptides. Immobilized RT1 recognized free TSHR protein molecule as well. In additional, bovine thyrotropin was recognized by immobilized TR1. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that molecular recognition theory exsits in thyrotropin receptor system. It may be useful to isolate biological molecules and to locate epitopes of TSH on TSHR molecule. Otherwise, antisense peptide may be used for treatment of experimental autoimmunolized thyroid disease (AITD) in the rat. [
