AIM: To explore the expression changes of bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7) and its receptors (BMPR-Ⅱ, ALK-2, ALK-3, ALK-6) in the renal tubulo-interstitial lesions induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). METHODS: Rats were divided into normal control, sham operation and UUO groups, and sacrificed at postoperative day 1, 3, 7 and 14. The mRNA levels of BMP-7, BMPR-Ⅱ, ALK-2, ALK-3 and ALK-6 were examined by RT-PCR. The protein expression site and level of BMP-7 was detected by immunohistochemistry staining. RESULTS: Compared to sham operation group, the mRNA levels of BMP-7, BMPR-Ⅱ, ALK-2 and ALK-3 were significantly decreased, but the change of ALK-6 mRNA was not marked in UUO rats. The reduction of mRNA expression levels of BMP-7, BMPR-Ⅱ, ALK-2 and ALK-3 in the kidney tissue aggravated along with the delayed post-operated days. The results of immunohistochemistry staining indicated that BMP-7 mainly expressed in renal tubular and interstitial, rarely in glomeruli. In UUO rats, the protein expression of BMP-7 decreased in varying degrees according to the post-operated days. CONCLUSION: The loss of BMP-7 and its receptors (BMPR-Ⅱ, ALK-2, ALK-3) were observed in the early phase of fibrotic process and this may play a very important role in mediating the renal tubulointerstital fibrosis.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Naomaitong Recipe, a compound Chinese herbal medicine, on the expressions of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and nitric-oxide synthases (NOSs) in brain tissue after focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion in aged rats and the dosage-effect relationship. METHODS: We adopted the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in aged rats as the focal cerebral ischemia model, with 3-hour ischemia and 12-day reperfusion, and observed the changes of the nerve dysfunction score, the water content of cerebral constitution and the expressions of NF-kappaB, heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) and NOSs in cerebral cortex. RESULTS: The nerve dysfunction score, the water content of cerebral constitution, the expressions of NF-kappaB, HSP70, neuronal nitric-oxide synthase (nNOS), endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) and inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) in the untreated group were higher than those of the sham-operated group. The nerve dysfunction score, the water content of cerebral constitution, the expressions of NF-kappaB, iNOS and nNOS were lower, while the expressions of HSP70 and eNOS were higher in the high-, medium- and low-dose Naomaitong-treated groups and nimodipine-treated group than those of the untreated-group. The nerve dysfunction score and the expression of nNOS were lower, while the expression of eNOS was higher in the medium-dose Naomaitong-treated group than those of the nimodipine-treated group. The expressions of HSP70 and eNOS were higher, while the other indices were lower in the medium-dose Naomaitong-treated group than those of the low-dose Naomaitong-treated group. CONCLUSION: Naomaitong Recipe can protect the brain cells from damage after focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury by adjusting the expressions of NF-kappaB, HSP70 and NOSs, and the medium-dose Naomaitong Recipe is more effective.

Objective To investigate iodine nutritional status of pregnant women of Taizhou City,in order to provide a basis for assessment whether normal consumption of iodized salt is needed,to take complement iodine measure and to carry out monitoring of urinary iodine and thyroid function in pregnant women.Methods Early pregnancy (gestation ＜ 4 months),medium (4 to 7 months gestation) and late (pregnancy≥8 months) of each of more than 300 pregnant women were chosen from maternal and child health (hospital) and part of the township hospitals of Taizhou City (district) from September 2012 to December 2013.Based on the principle of informed consent,disposable urine and blood samples were collected,urine iodine and thyroid hormone [serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH),three free triiodothyronine (FT3) and free thyroid hormone (FT4)] were measured.Urinary iodine was measured using a urinary iodine rapid quantitative detection kit,thyroid function was measured by an electrochemical method.Use 95％ of the reference value range of thyroid function in pregnant women as the basis for evaluation of thyroid function in pregnant women.Results A total of 997 pregnant women were investigated,early stage,medium-term and late pregnancy women were 302,357 and 338,respectively.The median urinary iodine was 124,129,119 μg/L,pregnant women in late pregnancy had the lowest iodine urine.The median TSH of early stage,medium-term and late pregnancy women were 2.03,2.18,2.22 mU/L;the mean FT3 and FT4 of the three groups were (4.39 ± 0.66),(4.06 ± 0.61),(3.92 ± 0.61)pmol/L and (14.56 ± 2.56),(13.08 ± 2.03),(12.70 ± 2.38)pmol/L,respectively.The rate of abnormal thyroid function was 4.91％ (49/977),mainly in subhypothyroidism [48.98％ (24/49)].Conclusions Poor iodine-nutritional status exists in some pregnant women in Taizhou City.It is necessary to strengthen the propaganda and education of pregnant women on iodine supplement knowledge in the future,and carry out routine monitoring of urinary iodine and thyroid function in early pregnancy.

Objective To explore the effect of self efficacy combined with mobile health information service applied in pulmonary rehabilitation in residence in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods Sixty-eight elderly patients in stable situation were divided into the control group and the intervention group with 34 cases in each group accoridng to the random digit table. In the control group, the nursing intervention included health education and telephone follow-up. The intervention group adopted self efficacy theory combined with mobile health information service. The items such as persistence in pulmonary rehabilitation, Exercise Self-Regulatory Efficacy Scale (Ex-SRES) and health condition were assessed. Results After intervention for 12 weeks, the scores of persistence in pulmonary rehabilitation in residence in the intervention group scored 5.35 ±1.42, which was higher than that in the control group (2.03±1.40), the difference was significant (t=160.43, P<0.01). Ex-SRES of the intervention group scored 62.06±13.10,91.21±11.12, which were higher than those of the control group, 50.38±18.03,42.56±18.23, the difference was significant (t=9.32,176.88, P<0.01) . The interaction between treatment effects and time effect was significant in COPD Assessment of Tool (CAT) and Ex-SRES respectively(F=489.95,P=0.00;F=134.80, P=0.00). Comparing value of CAT in baseline (24.97±4.74,24.62±5.39) and at the end of the twelfth week(24.94±4.74,24.65±5.35), the difference was not significant in two groups respectively(P>0.05). The improvement of CAT was significant at the end of the twenty-forth week (21.90±4.67) in the intervention group (t=-12.09, P<0.01). Conclusions Self efficacy theory and the application of mobile health information services can help patients persist in long-term rehabilitation exercise training.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of carotid stenting for progressive cerebral watershed infarction (PCWI) patients with ipsilateral internal carotid stenosis or occlusion during the progressive stage. Methods The clinical data of 23 PCWI patients with ipsilateral internal carotid stenosis or occlusion treated with carotid stenting during the progressive stage were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, 18 were severe internal carotid artery stenosis, and 5 were carotid artery occlusion. Carotid artery stenting were performed in patients with severe internal carotid artery stenosis. The first-stage angioplasty and second-stage stenting were performed in patients with internal carotid artery occlusion. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and the modified Rankin scale (mRS) were used to evaluate preoperative and postoperative neurologic deficits. Results Twenty-two of 23 patients were stented successfuly, the Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade was 3, and the technical success rate was 95. 7% . None of the patients demonstrated hyperperfusion in the ipsilateral hemisphere. At day 30 postprocedure, the NHISS scores were significantly improved compared with before procedure (4. 41 ± 1. 88 vs. 10. 00 ± 1. 47; t = 11. 234, P < 0. 001). The preprocedural TIMI flow grade was 3 in 12 patients (52. 2% ). Proportion of patients with TIMI flow grade 3 after procedure was significantly increased compared with before procedure (95. 7% vs. 52. 2% ; χ2 = 11. 274, P = 0. 002). The proportion of patients with mRS scores 0-2 at day 90 after procedure was significantly increased compared with before procedure (69. 6% vs. 0% ; χ2 = 24. 533, P < 0. 001). Conclusions Carotid stenting during the progressive stage is safe and it may improve the prognosis in PCWI patients with ipsilateral internal carotid stenosis or occlusion.

Objective To apply short message service (SMS) for pulmonary rehabilitation in residence. Methods A total of 102 old pa-tients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in stable situation were equally divided into three groups randomly. They all ac-cepted a two-week lesson of exercise project, and then took in the project for 22 weeks. Meanwhile, group A phoned to their experts once a week, group B was phoned by their experts once a week, and group C accepted SMS once a day and sent back to the experts. They were in-vestigated with Exercise Self Regulatory Efficacy Scale (Ex-SERS), modified British Medical Research Council Scale (mMRC) and COPD Assessment Test (CAT) before and after intervention. Results The score of Ex-SERS was the most in group C (F=179.53, P<0.001), with the interaction of time (F=387.09, P<0.001). While the scores of mMRC (F=8.754, P<0.001) and CAT (F=11.32, P<0.001) were the least in group C. Conclusion Application of SMS in the integrated management for pulmonary rehabilitation in residence may improve the self regu-latory efficacy of exercise, release the dyspnea and the influence on living in patients with COPD.

Objective To evaluate the effects of personality on the development of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.Methods Fifty-eight elderly patients,aged 65-70 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,with Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) P rating scale score ＜50,scheduled for elective gastrointestinal surgery under general anesthesia,were enrolled in the study.Personality was assessed by using EPQ at 1 day before surgery.By using a 2 × 2 factorial design,2 empirical factors introversion or extroversion (factor A) and neuroticism (factor B) were used.A1 and A2 were introversion (EPQ E rating scale score＜50) and extroversion (EPQ E rating scale score ≥ 50),respectively.B1 and B2 were emotional stability (EPQ N rating scale score＜50) and emotional instability (EPQ N rating scale score ≥ 50),respectively.The patients were divided into 4 groups:A1B1 group (n=8),A1B2 group (n=10),A2B1 group (n=26),and A2B2 group (n =14).Cognitive function was assessed at 7 days after surgery,and the development of POCD was recorded.Results The incidence of POCD was 0,0,15％ and 57％ in A1B1,A1B2,A2B1and A2 B2 groups,respectively,the incidence of POCD was significantly higher in group A2B1 than in A1B1and A1 B2 groups,and the incidence of POCD was significantly higher in group A2B2 than in the other three groups (P＜0.05).Factor A and factor B produced effects on the development of POCD (P＜0.01),and an interaction between them was found (P＜0.01).Conclusion The incidence of POCD is higher for the non-mentation patients who are extroverted and emotionally unstable.
