2.Expression of MCP-1 in human mesangial cells induced by Ox-LDL is mediated by the activition of nuclear factor-KB
Chinese Journal of Nephrology 1997;0(01):-
Objective To investigate the role of nuclear factor-KB( NF-KB) in the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-i (MCP-1) in human mesangial cells induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein(Ox-LDL) . Methods Human mesangial cells were used as target cells. Levels of inhibitory KBK (IKB?) and MCP-1 protein were measured by ELISA. Activity of transcriptional factors NF-KB was determined by electrophoresis mobility shift assay ( EMSA) . Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the translocation of p65. Results Ox-LDL increased the DNA-binding activition of NF-KB and decreased the expression of IKB?. These effects were most obvious when the mesangial cells were cultured with Ox-LDL in 50 ?g/ml for 1 hour( P

Objective To explore the effects oflosartan on brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)and C-reactive protein(CLRP)in diabetic cardiomyopathy patients. Methods Sixty diabetics were divided into diabetic control group(30 cases)and diabetic cardiomyopathy group(30 cases), and the levels of BNP and CRP in plasma were determined. Then, diabetic cardiomyopathy group were divided into conventional treatment group(15 cases)and losartan treatment group(15 cases)by random digits table to take corresponding treatment for 12 weeks. The changes of cardiac function, the levels of BNP and CRP in plasma were detected and compared. Results The levels of BNP and CRP in diabetic cardiomyopathy group [(331.27 ±65.64)ng/L,(26.10±10.13)mg/L]were significantly higher than those in diabetic control group[(76.09±39.14)ng/L,(7.03±2.71)mg/L](P<0.01). After treatment 12 weeks, the levels of BNP and CRP were significantly lower, left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly higher and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was significantly lower in losartan treatment group than those in conventional treatment group(P<0.05).Conclusions The increasing levels of BNP and CRP can reflect clinical severity of diabetic cardiomyopathy.Losartan can decrease the levels of BNP and CRP, and improve heart function, and it has better effective on diabetic cardiomyopathy.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of cluster needling of scalp acupuncture combined with rehabilitation(Tang's Approach) on depression of stroke patients with motor aphasia.Methods70 stroke patients were randomly divided into the acupuncture with rehabilitation group and the control group. The cluster needle of scalp point with speech rehabilitation training was used in the acupuncture with rehabilitation group, while speech rehabilitation training was used only in the control group. The degree of depression and aphasia were observed in the two groups 4 weeks after treament.Results 4 weeks after the treatment, the classification of aphasia was getting better in the acupuncture with rehabilitation group than in the control group(P<0.05), and the incidence of depression decreased significantly in the acupuncture with rehabilitation group compared with the control group(P<0.01). The score of Stroke Aphasic Depression Scale (SADQ) decreased significantly in the acupuncture with rehabilitation group compared with the control group (P<0.01).ConclusionTang's Approach may improve the depression of stroke patients with motor aphasia.

Objective To explore the impact of comprehensive musing intervention on the accuracy of non-stress test (NST). Methods With sealed envelope method, 400 cases of primiparous pregnant women without high risk factors were randomly divided into the research group and the control group with 200 cases in each group. The research group was given comprehensive care intervention, the control group received routine nursing. The incidence of non reaction of non-stress test, Apgar score no higher than 7 points, amniotic fluid pollution and cesarean section rate were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence of non reaction of NST was 15.08% in the research group, which was lower than 29.40% of the control group. The incidence of Apgar score no higher than 7 points and amniotic fluid pollution were 8.5% and 19.0% respectively in the research group, which showed no significant difference compared with those of the control group. The cesarean section rate in pregnant was 38.5% in the research group, which was significantly lower than 65.5% of the control group. Conclusions Comprehensive care intervention is effectively to improve the accuracy of NST , so that it can reduce cesarean section rate.

To investigate the immunological activities of the recombinant human phosphatase D2 (rhPLD2) in vitro and in vivo, especially its ability to reduce inflammatory reactions, the cDNA fragment encoding rhPLD2 was cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET30a by RT-PCR and the recombinant protein rhPLD2 expressed in E.coli was purified from the inclusion bodies, while the anti inflammatory activity of rhPLD2 was determined by the amount of eosinophils in bronchoalveolar fluid(BALF) and blood and the expression of IL-5 and MMP-9 in lung tissues of guinea pig model of chronic asthma. It was found that the rhPLD2 recombinant protein was obtained from human Daudi cells by cloning to E.coli, which contained no membrane-binding site and signal peptide. The cDNA sequence encoded 631 amino acid residues (GenBank Accession Number: AY178289). The purity of the rhPLD2 approached up to 76% with a bioactivity of 50.9745 units/L (0.9212 g/L). In addition, the anti inflammatory effect of rhPLD2 protein could be demonstrated in the guinea pig model of chronic asthma after treatment with rhPLD2 protein, such as down regulation in the expression of the inflammatory cytokine IL-5. It is concluded that the anti-inflammator activity of the recombinant human truncated PLD2 protein produced from the E.coli plasmid can be demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo.
