Methods A total of 80 patients with early diabetic nephropahy were randomly divided into two groups.The patients in control group(n=40)received valsartan at a dose of 80rag/day ,while in treated group(n=40)on the base of the same treatment as control group, added simvastatin 20 mg/everyrfight. To compare the differences of lipids,urine albumin excretion rate(UAER) and C-reactive protein(CRP) before or after treatments through 12 weeks. Re-sults The UAER of two groups decreased obviously after therapy,especially the treated group(P<0.01) ;the lipids and CRP also decreased evidently in the treated group (P<0.05). Conclusion The lipids, UAER, CRP of patients in early diabetic nephropathy could be down-regulated,with combined medication of the simvastatin and valsartan, and the injury of renal alleviated.

Objective To establish the biostereometric system of breast volume measurement and to estimate the precision and reliability of the designed system. Methods Biostereometric system of breast volume measurement was built upon the biostereometrics based on computer stereo vision and image processing. One laser projector was used as illuminating source, two CCD cameras were mounted for photo-taken, a series of parallel points were provided through a piece of grating. The volumes of 12 female breast models were tested by water displacement (golden standard) and biostereometric analysis. Results The maximum size of marks we photographed was within 120 mm?140 mm?80 mm. The characters of the system was rapid, non-contact and noninvasive. The validity and reliability of determination of breast volume between biostereometric system and golden standard had no significant difference, compared to water displacement (P=0.473). Conclusions Biostereometric system of breast volume measurement will be suited for the clinical application. The study offers a noninvasive, non-contact, rapid and accurate morphologic method and provides a new theory foundation for morphological analysis.

Objective To summarize the experience of heart-lung transplantation.Methods Four patients with Eisenmenger’s syndrome underwent heart-lung homoplastic transplantation. All patients were complicated with severe pulmonary hypertension in New York Heart Association ( NYHA ) functional class IV. Cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass consisted of a cannula in the high ascending aorta and separate vena caval cannulas. The heart-lung graft was moved into the chest, beginning with passage of the lung before the phrenic nerve pedicle. The bronchus was trimmed, leaving two cartilaginous rings proximal to the orifice of the upper lobe. The tracheal anastomosis was performed with a continuous 4-0 polypropylene suture, with the posterior portion continuously and anterior interrupted. The lungs were then ventilated (

Objective: Affective disorder patients can be effectively treated by electro-acupuncture methods without many side effects, but the mechanism of the treatment is not known. The object of this study was to discover whether there is change of guanine-nucleotide-binding protein (G-protein) level in platelets membrane from major depression patients before and after treatment by fluoxetine and electro-acupuncture. Methods:We utilized selective antibodies to quantitate the levels of the G-protein ? subunits in platelets membrane of 78 major depression patients (24 received fluoxetine treatment, 24 received electo-acupuncture treatment and 30 received placebo treatment) and 30 matched comparison subjects.Result:Levels of both G?i and G?q of the patient groups were higher than matched normal comparison subjects before treatment of fluoxetine and electro-acupuncture,the level of G?i and G?q did not change after the treatment of fluoxetine, electro-acupuncture and placebo. The level of G?s wasn't significantly different with matched comparison subjects.Conclusion:The levels of G?i、G?q in platelets membrane from major depression patients are higher than normal, the high levels of G?i and G?q in platelets membrane may be a trait abnormality for major depression patients, not a state abnormality for major depression.

Objective To investigate the role of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE)/NF-κB signaling pathway in mediating lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC)-induced TGF-β1 expression in human retinal endothelial progenitor cells (HEPCs).Methods Human retinal endothelial cells (HERCs)were transfected with siRNA for RAGE siRNA or added NF-κB in-hibitor pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC)in the presence or absence of LPC,the expressions of TGF-β1 and RAGE genes were analyzed by qPCR and Western blot.Results LPC could increase the expression of RAGE and TGF-β1 gene in HERCs.The RAGE gene after silence could significantly decrease the expression of LPC-induced RAGE and TGF-β1 .Adding NF-κB inhibitor PDTC significantly reduced LPC-induced RAGE and TGF-β1 expression in HERCs.Conclusion RAGE/NF-κB signaling pathway plays an important role in mediating LPC induced TGF-β1 gene expression in HERCs.

Objective To assess the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in clinical classification,monitoring of chemotherapeutic response and surveillance of histopathological transformation of Castleman's disease (CD).Methods Fourteen pathologically diagnosed CD patients (7 males,7 females; mean age:(45.64±14.30) years) were retrospectively reviewed.18F-FDG PET/CT was performed before chemotherapy in all patients and 4 of 14 patients were reexamined after the treatment.The study parameters included histopathological results,sites,number and highest SUVmax of the lesions.Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used for data analysis.Results Of all the 12 patients without histopathological transformation,one or more enlarged and metabolically active lymph nodes were found in each patient (SUVmax =3.94± 1.44,range:1.9-6.8),including 2 unicentric CD (UCD) and 10 multicentric CD (MCD).There was no statistically significant difference of SUVmam between UCD and MCD (4.55±3.18 vs 3.82±1.14; Z=0.22,P＞0.05).There was also no significant difference of SUVmax among different pathological types (hyaline-vascular CD (4/12):3.56±0.96,plasma cell CD (6/12):4.73±1.41,mixed CD (2/12):2.30±0.57; x2 =4.74,P＞0.05).For the 4 patients with follow-up PET/CT after chemotherapy,the lesion activity was normalized in 3 patients and clearly reduced in 1 patient.The SUVmax of 2 patients with histopathological transformation (10.85±2.05) was significantly higher than that without transformation (3.94± 1.44; Z=-2.19,P＜0.05).Conclusion 18F-FDG PET/CT may play an important role in clinical classification,monitoring of chemotherapeutic response and surveillance of histopathological transformation of CD.

Aim To estimate the affinity between C085 and Hsp90 and the inhibitory effects of C085 on the activity of Hsp90 ATPase. Methods The fluores-cence spectrum experiment was applied to examine the affinity between different C085 concentrations and Hsp90 , NHsp90 , MHsp90 , CHsp90; fluorescence in-tensities were recorded in the range of 290-510 nm at 293 K, 303 K and 310 K, respectively;a colorimetric assay for inorganic phosphate based on the formation of a phosphomolybdate complex and subsequent reaction with malachite green was used to examine the inhibitory effects of C085 on the activity of Hsp90 ATPase. Re-sults The dissociation constant KD value of C085 was (11. 163 ± 0. 316 ) μmol · L-1 . The interaction be-tween C085 and Hsp90 was driven mainly by electro-static interaction. C085 showed strongest affinity with CHsp90. When the concentration of ATP was 1 mmol· L-1 ,the inhibition of Hsp90 ATPase activity of C085 with the IC50 value was 6. 04μmol·L-1 . Conclusions The interaction mechanism between C085 and Hsp90 can be analyzed by fluorescence spectrum. C085 shows strong inhibition ATPase activity of Hsp90 .

Objective To investigate the relationship of serum levels of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), matrix metallo-proteinase-9 (MMP-9), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) with the severity of acute cerebral infarction (ACI). Methods 101 pa-tients with ACI were envolved and divided into 3 groups according to the scores of National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS):mild group (group A, n=38, NIHSS score<4), moderate group (group B, n=36, NIHSS score 4-15) and severe group (group C, n=27, NIHSS score>15). Meanwhile, 44 non-ACI inpatients with atherosclerosis were included as control group (group D). Their serum MIF and MMP-9 were detected with ELISA, and hs-CRP with immunoturbidimety. Results The levels of serum MIF, MMP-9 and hs-CRP ranged from more to less as groups C, B, A and D (P<0.05). There was positive correlation of MIF with MMP-9 (r=0.301, P<0.01) and hs-CRP (r=0.309, P<0.001). Conclusion Serum MIF, MMP-9 and hs-CRP levels increased with the severity in ACI patients, which may be prediction of athero-sclerotic plaque instability.
