BACKGROUND:Primary culture of glomerular mesangial cells was less achievement ratio,short survival time,and less passage times.In particular,extraction of renal glomerulus remains difficult for culturing highly pure mesangial cell OBJECTIVE:To establish a more simple.high successful rate and good reproducibility method of human mesangial cells in primary cultureMETHODS:Kidneys jsolated from induction of labor with water bag voluntary were cut into pieces.and human mesangial cells were cultured with eugenic selection methods.Morphology was observed using inverted phase contrast microscope and transmission electron microscope,cell phenotype was detected using immunohistochemical method,and vimentin expression was observed using laser scanning confocal microscope.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The cultured mesangial cells were fusiform-shaped,irregular star-shaped,and slender.Organelle was rich in cytoplasm,cell process was clear,and microvillus was observed on the cell membrane.The cells expressed a-actin,myosin,vimentin,desmin but not expressed cytokeratin and Ⅷ factor.Laser scanning confocal microscope demonstrated that vimentin expression was positive and had the characteristics of fiber bundles.This suggested that the cultured intercapillary cells were coincidence with the characteristics of mesangial cell The renal corticaI tissue combined eugenic selection method was a simple and efficient method to culture human mesangial cells.

Objective The paclitaxel loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (PTX-SLNs) were prepared by an ultrasonic-dispersion emulsification technique. The stability of PTX-SLNs was investigated in this study. Methods The technology was preferenced by stability, Zeta potential, particle diameter, and entrapment efficiency as indexes. The doses of lipid materials and coemulsifier, the ultrasonic time, and the ultrasonic power were investigated in detail. Results The optimum prescriptions were definited by one-factor and orthogonal test. The adjuvant: glyceryl monostearate (100/150 mg), Fabaceous Lecithin (100 mg), coemulsifier Pluronic F68∶Tween 80 (2∶1). The samples were sonicated with an energy output of 300 W in 20 min after emulsified at (75?5) ℃. Conclusion The PTX-SLNs are successfully prepared and PTX-SLNs with high stability are fairly dispersed in colloidal solution. This technology has a nice prospect with safety and reliability.

Numerous studies revealed that radiation can promote the immunogenic cell death, enhance the immune response of tu-mor-antigen-specific T cells, and induce systematic antitumor immunity, which may result in abscopal effect. Abscopal effect refers to the regression of non-irradiated metastatic lesions distant from the primary tumor site that is directly subjected to irradiation. Despite that abscopal effect has been clinically reported and that many preclinical studies have confirmed its biological basis, abscopal effect remains a subclinical phenomenon, in which objective efficacy is difficult to obtain. Currently, the anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in clinical applications shows a clear and definite curative effect, thereby making local radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy a new treat-ment pattern. However, the clinical practice of this new mode should be based on appropriate dose and fraction and the most suitable temporal combination to achieve the synergic antitumor immune response.

Objective Sialic acid and its derivatives in mammalian cells mainly include N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) and deaminoneuraminic acid (KDN), among which Neu5Ac can be catalyzed by cytidine monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH) for the synthesis of Neu5Gc. In this study, the transcriptional level of CMAH in different tissues of BALB/c mice were determined by relative fluorescence quantitative PCR, to provide a reference for further analysis of Neu5Gc levels in different tissues. Methods The mRNA sequence of CMAH was searched in the NCBI database and specific primers were designed. The mouse β-actin was selected as an internal control, and the transcriptional levels of CMAH in 9 different organ tissues of BALB/c mice were detected by relative fluorescence quantitative PCR using SYBR Green dye. Results Among the 9 mouse organs, the transcriptional level of CMAH in the liver tissue was the highest, which was 2. 46 times higher of that in the spleen, 3. 17 times of the kidney, 5. 14 times of the trachea, 11. 70 times of the lung, 21. 12 times of the myocardium, 31. 37 times of the skeletal muscles, 66. 90 times of the small intestine and 1056. 99 times of the brain tissue, respectively. Conclusions CMAH is transcribed in many organ tissues of mice, and its transcriptional levels vary in a quite wide range.
8.MET Exon 14 Skipping Mutations in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.
Chinese Journal of Lung Cancer 2018;21(7):553-559
Recently, targeted therapy has achieved great success in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Mesenchymal to epithelial transition factor (MET) is considered to be another important molecular target for NSCLC since epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). Accumulating clinical trials and case reports have confirmed that MET inhibitors exhibited a potential prospect in treating patients with MET 14 exon skipping alterations, suggesting that MET 14 exon skipping mutation might be an effective biomarker for MET inhibitors, which remains to be confirmed by more clinical data. This review summarizes current research about the molecular mechanism, clinicopathological characterization, treatment strategies and drug resistance mechanisms of MET 14 exon skipping alterations in NSCLC.

Objective To explore the process and main behavior characteristics of behavioral characteristics of patients with recurrent hypoglycemia in the degeneracy of blood glucose management.Methods A mixed-method convergent design was used to collect data.From June 2022 to April 2023,382 patients with recurrent hypoglycemia were admitted to the endocrine department of a tertiary hospital in Jiangsu were recruited to score of ego depletion.K-means clustering was conducted to analyze the distribution characteristics of patients'characteristics in blood glucose management.At the same time,19 patients who were selected from the participants of the quantitative study were recruited to attend semi-structured interviews.Results Quantitative results analysis:the average score of blood glucose management loss was(49.20±6.58),and the average scores of cognitive control,behavioral control and emotional control were(17.90±4.12),(15.49±3.64)and(15.81±3.58),respectively.The results of cluster analysis showed that behavioral characteristics could be divided into 3 groups:a cognitive depletion group,an emotional depletion group and a self-control group.Qualitative data analysis:the process of deterioration of management in patients included 3 major themes,including the antecedents of ego depletion,the process of ego depletion and the aftereffects of ego depletion.Analysis of the mixed results showed that the status of ego depletion is serious;patients ignore the behavioral elements of active participation in blood glucose management,show many irrational decision-making behaviors,and the degradation behavior characteristics of patients'blood glucose management are different.Conclusion The degeneration behavior of blood glucose management was serious and affected by single or multiple factors,continuously consuming self-control energy and causing ego depletion.To promote the long-term maintenance of blood glucose management,priority should be given to take actions to enhance patients'perceptions,emotion and behaviors,help them learn about the possible blood glucose changes,improve their understanding and recognition of the value of scientific management.

Objective To investigate the prevalence rate of hyperlipidemia in the middle-aged and elderly in Guangxi Hei Yi Zhuang population. Methods A total of 657 people of Hei Yi Zhuang nationality aged 40 years and over were surveyed. Blood pressure, body height, body weight, serum lipid and apolipoprotein levels were measured, and both body surface areas and body mass index were calculated. The results were compared with those in 520 people of Han nationality who also live in that district. Results The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and hyperlipidemia in Hei Yi Zhuang vs. Han population were 28.9% vs. 35.8%(P0.05), and 36.2% vs. 42.3%(P0.05) respectively. Conclusions Prevalence of hyperlipidemia of Hei Yi Zhuang is lower than that of Han ethnic group, which might results from different dietary habit, life style, physical activity, and even genetic background.
