Objective To investigate the changes in serum cortisol and adrenocorticotrophic hormone(ACTH) levels in children with steroid-sensitive nephritic syndrome (SSNS) and the clinical significance of intervention.Methods According to whether a child with SSNS would relapse,48 children with SSNS were divided into non-recurrence group(n =19) and recurrence group(n =29),at the same time 14 age-matched healthy children were enrolled as the healthy control group.Serum cortisol and ACTH were measured in patients with SSNS by using electrochemiluminesence methods.In recurrence group,methylpredisolone or methylprednisolone combined with ACTH injection therapy was used on 15 patients with their serum cortisol and ACTH below normal.Results Before standard glucocorticoid treatment,the serum levels of cortisol and ACTH had no difference among 3 groups (all P ＞ 0.05).By the end of remission phase,the serum levels of cortisol and ACTH in recurrence group were statistically lower than those of the non-recurrence group[(113.03 ± 80.02) μg/L vs (251.54 ± 185.05) μg/L,t =-2.925,P ＜ 0.05 ; (12.81 ± 10.14) ng/L vs (23.53 ± 12.05) ng/L,t =-0.885,P ＜ 0.05].Eight to 12 weeks after being adjusted,the serum level of cortisol and the average monthly time of recurrent were both significantly improved in 15 abnormal children in recurrence group [(168.90 ± 133.43) μg/L vs (73.62 ± 58.04) μg/L,t =3.016,P ＜ 0.05 ; (0.09 ± 0.08) times vs (0.35 ± 0.11) times,t =-7.560,P ＜0.05],but as to the serum level of ACTH,there was no significant difference in abnormal children in recurrence group [(14.05 ± 10.99) ng/L vs (8.72 ± 4.11) ng/L,t =1.991,P ＞ 0.05].Conclusions The concentrations of serum cortisol and ACTH can reveal the risk of recurrence for children with SSNS to some extent,and effective intervention can reduce the recurrence rate and shorten the course of disease.

Thromboxane A2 receptors (TPs) widely distribute in different organ systems and localize both on cell membranes and in intracellular structures.TPs are the members of seven-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) super family.Historical-ly, the involvement of TPs in platelet functions has received the greatest attention .TPs have the capacity to activate different signaling cascades which regulate platelet shape change , aggregation and secretion response .Currently , anti-platelet drugs primarily act on re-ceptors and /or signaling molecules in activation pathways .The signaling transduction of TPs in platelet contributes to the investigation of the effects of extracts of traditional Chinese medicine on antiplatelet aggregation and the exploration of the action mechanisms .

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Danshen injection （DAN） on platelet （PLT）-induced metastasis of breast cancer cells in vitro. MethodThe 3-（4，5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl）-2，5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide （MTT） assay was used to observe the effect of DAN on the growth of MDA-MB-231 cells in vitro. Oris™ migration assay was used to determine the effect of DAN （final mass concentrations 4， 8， 16 g·L^-1） on PLT （1.5×10¹⁰ cells/L）-induced migration of breast cancer cells in vitro. The effect of DAN on PLT-induced cell invasion was detected by Transwell assay. Immunofluorescence and Western blot were used to detect the effect of DAN on the protein expression associated with PLT-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT）. In addition， enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay （ELISA） was used to determine the effect of DAN （final mass concentrations 4， 8， 16， 32， 64 g·L^-1） on the secretion of transforming growth factor-β₁ （TGF-β₁）. Western blot was used to observe the effect of DAN on the expression of podoplanin （PDPN） protein in MDA-MB-231 cells induced by PLT. ResultCompared with the blank group， the DAN groups （32 and 64 g·L^-1） showed decreased A₅₇₀ （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and there was no significant difference in A₅₇₀ between DAN groups （4， 8， 16 g·L^-1）. Compared with the blank group， the PLT group showed increased cell migration and invasion， while DAN groups significantly inhibited PLT-induced cell migration and invasion. Compared with the blank group， the PLT group showed decreased expression of E-cadherin， while DAN could significantly reverse this effect of PLT. Compared with the blank group， the PLT group showed increased Slug and Snail protein expression （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while DAN significantly reversed Snail protein expression induced by PLT （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The content of TGF-β₁ in the PLT group increased （P<0.01）， while the secretion of TGF-β₁ induced by PLT decreased in the DAN groups （16， 32， and 64 g·L^-1） （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the secretion of TGF-β₁ was not significantly affected in other DAN groups. PDPN protein expression in the PLT group increased （P<0.01）， while DAN could significantly inhibit PLT-induced PDPN expression （P<0.01）. ConclusionDAN can inhibit PLT-induced migration， invasion， and EMT of breast cancer cells. The mechanism may be related to the direct action between breast cancer cells and tumor cells by down-regulating PDPN expression and interfering with PLT and has nothing to do with the effect of TGF-β₁ secretion of PLT.
