Objective To observe the changes of foot processes,expression and distribution of transient receptor potential cation channel 6 (TRPC6) in podocytes by puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN) and dexamethasone (DEX) intervention,then to investigate the function of TRPC6 in podocytes and its relation to proteinuria in kidney diseases.Methods Podocytes cultured in vitro were divided into three group:control group,PAN stimulation group and DEX intervention group.Mouse podocyte cell line (MPC5) were cultured in 0.02％ dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in control group,subjected to PAN (50 μg/ml) treatment alone or with DEX (1 μmol/L) in other two groups for 8 h,24 h,48 h.The podocyte morphology was observed and took pictures by phase-contrast microscope,then the differences of morphology and areas were analyzed.The distribution,mRNA expression and protein expression of TRPC6 were detected by indirect immunocyto-fluorescence,real-time quantitative PCR and Western blotting,respectively.Results The well-developed podocyte arborization and interconnection was formed in control group,but PAN led to significant shrinkage of podocytes (P ＜ 0.05),together with podocyte foot process retraction,effacement and loss of cell contact.DEX significantly prevented the shrinkage and apoptosis of podocytes.The apoptosis rate was significantly increased after PAN stimulated 48 h (P ＜ 0.05).Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blotting found TRPC6 mRNA and protein expression were prone to increase in PAN group compared with control group (P ＜ 0.05).The distribution of TRPC6 becamed abnormal in PAN group.DEX decreased TRPC6 mRNA and protein expression at 48 h compared with PAN group (P ＜ 0.05).The abnormal distribution of TRPC6 was also alleviated by the protection of DEX.Conclusion DEX exerts a direct action to podocyte which retains the integrity of slit diaphragm against podocyte injury,and alleviates proteinuria via stabilizing mRNA,protein expression and distribution of TRPC6.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in catheter interventional treatment of congenital heart disease. Methods 57 patients with congenital heart disease were selected by preoperative TTE screening and then received Amplatzer occluder interventional treatment under X-ray monitoring. 23 of them were atrial septal defect (ASD), 29 were ventricular septal defect (VSD), 4 were patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and one was VSD complicated with ASD. Results All the patients were treated successfully. The occlusion effect was observed by follow-up immediately after the procedure, and one week, one month, three months, six months, and one year after the procedure. The position of the occluder did not change, the surrounding of the occluder has no residual shunt. 3 cases of ASD and 2 of VSD were failed to plugged. Conclusions TTE has important clinical values in selection of the patients with indication , intraoperative detection of the release of Amplatzer, and postoperatve assessment of the efficacy.

Objective To observe the expression and distribution of α-actin-4 mRNA through puromycin aminonueleoside(PAN) injury podocyte,and discuss the relation between α-actin-4 and podocyte damage.Methods Podocytes were cultured in vitro,and 2 groups were set up:control group and PAN stimulation group.The control group was cultured with concentration of 100 mL/L FBS RPMI 1640 nutrient solution culture,while the PAN group was cultivated to PAN(50 mg/L) treatment,and cell morphology,extraction of total RNA of α-actin-4 were observed in 8 h,24 h and 48 h.The podocyte morphology was observed and pictures were taken through phase-contrast microscope,then the differences of morphology and areas between the 2 groups were analyzed.The distribution and mRNA expression of α-actin-4 were detected by indirect immunocyto-fluorescence and real-time quantitative PCR,respectively.Results The well-developed podocyte arborization was formed after the in vitro induction,and the PAN treatment led to the podocyte foot process retraction and effacement together with the mouse podocyte cell line shrinkage and the loss of cell contact.The above time point α-actin-4 mRNA expressions between the 2 groups were compared,and there was no significant difference in 8 h (P ＞ 0.05),but significant difference was found in 24 h,48 h,α-actin-4 higher mRNA expression,with statistical significance(all P ＜0.01).α-actin-4 in the control group had thin filaments evenly distributed in the cytoplasm,but a radioactive distribution in foot process.In the experimental group,α-actin-4 pressure silk fiber was shorter,with disordered arrangement,and PAN stimulus after 24 h,α-actin-4 distribution in cytoplasm was decreased significantly,while cytoplasmic distribution was missing after 48 h.Conclusions The abnormal of distribution and mRNA expression of α-actin-4 is time-related to the PAN injury podocyte,and α-actin-4 is an important part of podocyte damage mechanism.

OBJECTIVETo explore the impacts on the life quality and the effect mechanism in the patients of allergic rhinitis (AR) treated with warm acupuncture in winter and summer.

METHODSTwo hundred and forty patients of AR were randomized into a summer and winter acupuncture group, a non-summer and winter acupuncture group and a western medication group, 80 cases in each one. In the two acupuncture groups, Dazhui (GV 14), Fengmen (BL 12), Feishu (BL 13), Pishu (BL 20) and Shenshu (BL 23) were selected. In the summer and winter acupuncture group, the warm acupuncture started at the first day of the three periods of hot season and the first day of the third nine-day period after the winter solstice. The treatment was given once every two days, continuously for 15 times. Totally, 30 treatments were required a year. In the non-summer and winter acupuncture group, the warm acupuncture was applied out of the three periods of the hot season and the third nine-day period after the winter solstice. The treatment was given once every two days and 30 treatments for a year. In the western medication group, cetirizine was taken orally, continuously for 30 days as one session. In the three groups, the treatment for 1 year was taken as one session. The second session started in the next year. Totally, 2 sessions were required. The score of rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ) and the level of serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) were compared in the patients' of each group before treatment and in 1 and 2 sessions of treatment.

RESULTSAfter treatment, the scores of 7 domains, named activities, common complaints, practical problems, sleep, ocular symptoms, nasal symptoms and emotions were all improved as compared with those before treatment, in the patients of the three groups (all P < 0.05). After 2 sessions treatment, the results in the summer and winter acupuncture group were better than those in the other two groups (all P < 0.05), and the results in the non-summer and winter acupuncture group were better than those in the western medication group (all P < 0.05). After treatment, serum IgE level was lower averagely than that before treatment in the three groups (all P < 0.05). After 2 sessions treatment, the result in the summer and winter acupuncture group was lower than that in the other two groups (both P < 0.05), and the result in the non-summer and winter acupuncture group was lower than that in the western medication group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the total effective rate was 92.3% (72/78) in the summer and winter acupuncture group, better than 80.5% (62/77) in the non-summer and winter acupuncture group and 69.7% (53/76) in the western medication group (both P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe warm acupuncture in both summer and winter achieves the definite efficacy on AR and the effect mechanism is relevant with reducing serum IgE level.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and clinical value of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy through cervix-uterine combined two-step injection with two tracers in patients with early stage endometrial cancer.Methods:From July 2019 to April 2021, a total of 73 patients, aged (54.2±3.3) year, who were preoperatively diagnosed as stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ endometrial cancer (including 56 low-risk patients and 17 medium-high risk patients) in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were selected. According to the different sites of tracer injection, the patients were randomly divided into three groups: cervical injection group (25 cases): 1 ml of nano-carbon was used to inject at 3 and 9 o'clock in the cervix; uterine injection group (21 cases): the magnetic resonance imaging examination was performed to determine the location of the lesion, and 4 ml of methylene blue was injected into the uterine body at 2 sites where the lesion was located; combined injection group (27 cases): cervical injection of nano-carbon (1 ml) combined with uterine injection of methylene blue (4 ml). The SLN in all patients were identified under laparoscopy, removed, and followed by frozen pathological examination. Pathological ultra-staging was performed if the postoperative pathological outcome of SLN was negative. The total detection rate of SLN, bilateral pelvic SLN detection rate, sensitivity, negative predictive value, and location of SLN in each group were calculated and compared.Results:(1) In 73 patients with endometrial cancer, the overall detection rate of SLN was 88% (64/73), the detection rate of bilateral pelvic SLN was 67% (49/73), and the detection rate of para-aortic SLN was 49% (36/73). The overall detection rate of SLN (71%, 15/21) and bilateral pelvic SLN (43%, 9/21) in the intrauterine injection group were significantly lower than those in the cervical injection group [92% (23/25), 76% (19/25), respectively] and the combined injection group [96% (26/27), 78% (21/27), respectively; all P<0.05]; the detection rate of para-aortic SLN in the cervical injection group (28%, 7/25) was significantly lower than those in the intrauterine injection group and combined injection group [52% (11/21) and 67% (18/27), respectively; both P<0.05]. Among 73 cases with endometrial cancer, 9 had lymph node metastasis confirmed by postoperative pathological examination, 8 of them had lymph node metastasis detected by SLN and 1 had no lymph node metastasis detected by SLN, with a total sensitivity of 89% and a negative predictive value of 98%. The sensitivity and negative predictive value of cervical injection group and combined injection group were 100%, while the sensitivity and negative predictive value of intrauterine injection group were 67% and 95%. Among 56 low-risk patients, only one patient with lymph node metastasis was confirmed by postoperative pathology by SLN detection, and the metastasis rate was 2% (1/56), and the sensitivity and negative predictive value were 100%. Lymph node metastasis was confirmed in 8 of 17 patients (8/17) with a sensitivity of 88% and a negative predictive value of 90%. (2) A total of 459 SLN were detected in 73 endometrial cancer patients, with the highest proportion of external iliac (33.3%, 153/459).The obturator foramen was 25.3% (116/459), para-aortic 19.6% (90/459), iliac 12.0% (55/459), and presacral 9.8% (45/459). The proportion of para-aortic SLN in the cervical injection group was 12.4% (21/169), which were significantly lower than that in the intrauterine injection group and the combined injection group [27.4% (26/95) and 22.1% (43/195), respectively; both P<0.05]. (3) Pathological super-staging results: among 64 patients with negative SLN routine paraffin pathology, 4 cases of lymph node micro-metastases and 1 case of isolated tumor cell metastasis were detected, and the SLN micro-metastases rate was 8% (5/64), including 2 cases of low-risk patients and 3 cases of medium-high risk patients. Conclusions:SLN biopsy has high sensitivity and negative predictive value in patients with early endometrial cancer and could be used as an alternative to systematic lymph node dissection in low-risk patients. The SLN mapping through cervical-uterine combined injection could further improve the detection rate effectively and avoid the missed detection of positive para-aortic lymph node, especially for high-risk patients or patients with fundal tumor involvement.
