4-fold elevation in renal cortex in plasma aldosterone as compared to those of the SHAM rats. The above pathologies were markedly improved in bi-ectomised rats with significantly lower aldosterone level. Being constantly infused exogenous aldosterone, bi-ectomized rats manifested greater proteinuria, hypertension, glomerulosclerosis and increased level of TGF-?1 compared to bi-ectomised rats. Indeed, these features were similar in exogenous aldosterone rats and 5/6 nephrectomized rats. Furthermore, the expression of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) mRNA was remarkablely enhanced in SNX group and was decreased in ADX group. However, the mRNA expression of 11 ?-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase II (11?-HSD2) in each group was opposite to that of MRmRNA. Ccr and kidney/body weight showed no differences among four experimental groups. Conclusion Aldosterone contributes to the progression of ablative nephropathy in the rat through mechanisms other than systolic blood pressure.

Objective To observe and compare the curative effects of zoledronic acid (ZA) combined with radiotherapy and ZA combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of bone metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Seventy-eight patients with NSCLC bone metastasis treated by radiotherapy or chemotherapy were taken in our hospital from January 2010 to June 2014, including 39 cases of ZA combined conventional fractionation radiotherapy (radiotherapy combined group), and 39 cases of ZA combined with chemotherapy (paclitaxel liposome + cisplatin) (chemotherapy combined group). Each group had 39 cases. WHO objective evaluation standard, efficacy evalulation of solid tumor metastasis and curative effect standard grading of pain, anticancer agent toxicity classification standard, Karnofsky standard were used for evaluating and analyzing the patients with primary lung tumor, bone metastasis, degree of pain, adverse reactions and functional status (once before and after the treatment). Results The efficiency rate of primary lung tumor, the efficiency rate of bone metastasis, the total effective rate of pain relief and the improvement rate of functional status (Karnofsky score increased by 10 points or more)in the radiotherapy combined group and chemotherapy combined group were 82.05 % (32/39) vs. 79.49 % (31/39), 48.72 % (19/39) vs. 51.28 %(20/39), 82.05 % (32/39) vs. 84.62 % (33/39), 66.67 % (26/39) vs. 71.79 % (28/39) respectively, and the differences were not statistically significant (the values of x2 were 0.224, 0.237, 0.195, 0.259 respectively, all P> 0.05); Although the two groups showed low-grade fever, bone marrow suppression, esophagitis, liver and kidney damage, gastrointestinal reactions and other adverse reactions, the adverse reactions of two groups were close to [28.21 % (11/39) vs. 30.77 % (12/39)] (x2 = 0.314, P> 0.05). Fortunately, these reactions were controlled well after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion ZA combined with radiotherapy or chemotherapy is a safe and effective way for bone metastasis of NSCLC, which should be taken based on the individual condition of the patients.

Objective To evaluate the right ventricular global systolic function by real-time three dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE) and two dimensional echocardiography (2DE) in normal children,and investigate their correlation with age,height,weight,body surface area (BSA) and cardiac cycle time.Methods In 192 normal children,2DE right ventricular systolic function indexes were obtained at the apical four chamber view,including:tricuspid annular lateral wall peak systolic excursion (TAPSE),tricuspid annular peak systolic velocity (TRV) and right ventricular systolic area shortening (RVa).Full volume imaging of right ventricle was obtained at the parasternal four-chamber view near the apex by RT-3DE.The right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) was analyzed by TomTec RV-Function.The correlation analysis was performed between RT-3DE and 2DE indexes.The correlation and regression analysis on RT-3DE and 2DE indexes with above physical development indexes were also studied.At the same time 192 normal children were divided into five groups by age.2DE and RT-3DE indexes were compared with each other among five age groups.Results RVEF had no statistical correlation with all 2DE indexes (P >0.05).The correlation analysis on RT-3DE and 2DE indexes with physical development indexes demonstrated that TAPSE,TRV had strong positive correlation with the above indexes (P =0.000),while RVa had no statistical correlation with the above indexes (P >0.05).RVEF had weak positive correlation with cardiac cycle time r =0.180,P =0.014),but it had no statistical correlation with the other indexes (P >0.05).Stepwise regression analysis showed that the significant factor for TAPSE and TRV was height (R2 =0.508,P =0.000)and BSA (R2 =0.130,P =0.000)separately.In five age groups RVEF and RVa remained constant (P >0.05).However for TAPSE and TRV significant difference were found in part of comparisons between groups(P <0.05).Conclusions Although RVEF assessed by RT-3DE was slightly influenced by heart rate,it was independent of age,height,weight,BSA.It was a stable index for evaluating right ventricular systolic function among different age and physical development population.

Abatract:Objective To study the relationship of the processes of chronic hepatitis B infection with the degree of depression and the level of serum Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).Methods 126 patients with different processes of CHB infection were divided into 3 groups,which were asymptomatic HBV carriers (ASC group),liver cirrhosis (LC group)and hepatic cell carcinoma (HCC group).40 healthy volunteers were selected as normal control.Questionnaire was used to study demographic data and the degree of depression was assessed by using Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17).The levels of the serum BDNF were detected by ELISA.Results The ratio of divorced or widowed in LC and HCC groups was higher than that of the control (χ2 = 6.354,11.972;P < 0.01).Severity of depression in ASC,LC and HCC groups was higher than that of the control (χ2 = 16.151,42.150,49.636;P <0.01).Severity of depression in ASC and LC group was lower than that of HCC group (χ2 = 14.345,28.772;P <0.01).The role of BDNF (x ±s,ng/ml)in ASC,LC,HCC and control group were 11.10±3.26,8.66 ± 3.11,7.39 ±2.52 and 12.18±2.59.The levels of serum BDNF in LC and HCC group was lower than ASC group and the control (P <0.01).The process of CHB infection had positive correlation with the score of HAMD (r=0.719,P <0.01),but had negative correlation with thelevels of serum BDNF (r=-0.504,P <0.01). There was negative correlation relationship between the score of HAMD and the levels of serum BDNF (r=-0.526,P <0.01).Conclusion The process of CHB infection can obviously aggravate the degree of depression,and reduce the levels of BDNF gradually.The levels of serum BDNF can be suggested as a psychological laboratory reference basis for the CHB pa-tients with depression.It is expected to improve the level of clinical diagnosis and treatment in CHB with depression.
