Objective To observe the expression of tissue transglutaminase (tTG) in renal tissues of diabetic nephropathy rats, and to investigate its contribution to the progression of diabetic nephropathy. Methods Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were sacrificed at 30 d, 60 d, 90 d, and 120 d respectively. Albuminuria excretion rate (AER), kidney weight index and serum creatinine (Scr) of the rats were measured. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and periodic acid-silver-methenamine (PASM) staining were used to observe the renal pathological changes. CollagenⅣ(ColⅣ) and soluble tTG protein in kidney were examined by immunohistochemistry,insoluble tTG by immunofluorescence. Expression of total tTG mRNA in kidney was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results AER, kidney weight index and Scr of diabetic rats were all progressive during the period of the experiment. Compared with control group, the levels of ColⅣ, soluble tTG and insoluble tTG protein in kidneys of hyperglycemic rats were significantly increased at 30 d, 60 d, 90 d and 120 d(P

Objective To observe the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7) in different stages of diabetic rats and investigate the potential role of BMP-7 in diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods Wistar rats were divided into diabetes mellitus(DM) group induced by intravenous injection of streptozotocin (65 mg/kg) , and normal control group injected with citrate buffer. The rats were sacrificed at day 30,60,90,120,150 and 180 following injection, respectively. The blood glucose,Scr, urinary albumin and urinary creatinine were measured in each rat before sacrifice. The renal pathological changes were examined with hematoxylin and eosin (HE),periodic acid-silver-methenamine staining (PASM) and protein expression of collagenⅣ(ColⅣ). The mRNA and protein expression of BMP-7 and TGF-?1 in kidney were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-RCR) and immunohistochemical staining respectively, and were quantified by computer image analysis system. Results The levels of blood glucose and urinary albumin in diabetic group were remarkably higher than those in control group (P

Objective To study the photodynamic therapy (PDT) mediated by a novel porphyrin-typed photosensitizer on human hepatic carcinoma HepG2 cell and the mechanisms.Methods Experiments were derided into four groups:control group,PDT group,photosensitizer group and photosensitizer+PDT group.The photostability of novel photosensitizer upon repetitive illumination was evaluated by bleaching method,and cell survival rate was determined by MTT assay.Cellular uptake of novel photosensitizer was measured with luminescence spectrometer,and cellular localization ofphotosensitizer was observed by laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM).Furthermore,apoptotic cell was detected with Hoechst 333342 staining.Results Novel photosensitizer was stable after repetitive light irradiation,and PDT or photosensitizer alone showed no dark cytotoxicity toward HepG2 cell (P>0.05),but intense killing was observed in photosensitizer+PDT group (P<0.05).The IC50 is 1.21 μmol/L.Cellular uptake of novel photosensitizer was concentration-dependent and the highest uptake is at concentration of 12.5 μmol/L.Novel photosensitizer localizes in lysosomes of HepG2 cell,and the death mode of HepG2 cell was mainly apoptosis.Conclusions Novel photosensitizer exerts profound cytotoxic effects on HepG2 cell mainly through the initiation of secondary cell apoptosis by lysosome destruction.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of liver X receptor ( LXR ) agonist on expression of fatty acid synthase( FAS) in diabetic kidney. Methods In the part of in vivo study, immunostaining was used to detect the FAS protein expression in kidney. 16-week-old male db/db mice on C57BL/6 background were administered via gavage a LXR synthetic agonist, TO901317, at a dose of 3 mg · kg-1 · d-1 or vehicle ( 0. 5%Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium, CMC-Na) alone for 7 d;Quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect mRNA and protein levels of FAS and SREBP-1. In the part of in vitro study, MCT cell(a mouse murine proximal tubule cell line)was treated with 10μmol/L TO901317 for 24 h or transfected with active SREBP-1c expression vector (SREBP-1cN). HEK293 cells(a human renal tubule cell line)were transfected with mFAS-(1. 7 kb)-luc, LXR expression vector or SREBP-1cN for 12 h. Quantitative RT-PCR and luciferase reproter assay were utilized to examine FAS mRNA level and FAS promoter activity. Results FAS was abundantly expressed in renal cortex, with low expresson in renal glomeruli. The mRNA and protein expressious of FAS in kidney of db/db mice were lowered compared with db/m mice. TO90137 treatment increased FAS mRNA expression by 1. 3-fold. TO901317 increased expression of SREBP-1 in kidneys of db/m and db/db mice by 5. 1-fold and 17-fold, respectively. TO901317 and overexpression of SREBP-1c increased expression of FAS in MCT cells by 1. 5-fold and 1. 8-fold. Transcription activity of FAS were induced by TO901317, LXR, and SREBP-1cN overexpressions in HEK293 cells. Conclusions Both direct(LXRE)and indirect(SREBP-1c)mechanisms may contribute to the up-regulation of FAS expression by LXR in renal proximal tubule cells.

Objective To explore the constitution characteristics of patients with uterine fibroids.MethodsA total of 413 patients with uterine fibroids (patient group) and 413 healthy women (control group) were enrolled in this case-control study. All the participants were required to fill in a questionnaire on Chinese Medicine constitution.The frequency and percentage of indicators were calculated,and analysis of variance and Chi-square test were used to find difference between the two groups.Results The incidence of Qi-stagnation constitution in the patient group was higher than that in the control group (x2 =8.209,P < 0.05 ). The incidence of menstrual abnormalities was increased in patients with constitution of Phlegm-dampness and Dampness-heat,Qi-stagnation and Blood-stasis.The detection rate of hypertension of the patient group was also significantly increased.ConclusionThe most common constitution of patients with uterine fibroid is Oi-stagnation.

Objective To discuss the X-ray characteristics of triple negative breast cancer(TNBC)for improving the diagnostic level.Methods 105 cases of TNBC which confirmed by pathology and immunohistochemistry were analyzed their X-ray performance and clinical pathology.Results (1)The main pathologic types of TNBC was infiltrating ductal carcinoma(64 cases,61.0%),secondly was medullary carcinoma(24 cases,22.9%).(2)The X-ray manifestations of this group were mainly the mass shape(78.1 %).Nearly half of them had clear edge(46.3%).And 24.4% were tumor with calcification.(3)The calcification in TNBC was rare and the distribu-tion mainly for regional or cluster,while the morphology was mainly for malignant and suspicious for malignancy.(4)The X-ray per-formance characteristics of infiltrating ductal carcinoma and medullary carcinoma in TNBC had differences in tumor morphology and edge(P <0.05).Conclusion (1)The X-ray manifestations were always the circular similarity of tumor with clear edge in TNBC.(2) The proportion of medullary carcinoma is larger in TNBC,and the X-ray manifestations is more likely show as benign lesions.(3) The calcification probability is lower in TNBC,and the calcification form is mainly as suspicious for malignancy and malignant.
