AIM: To investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in renal injury caused by hyperlipidemia and the influence effect of simvastatin. METHODS: Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: rats in control group (n=10) were fed with normal diet; rats in high fat group (n=10) were fed with high fat diet; animals in simvastatin+high fat group (n=10) were fed with high fat diet and were received simvastatin 10 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1) by gastric irrigation. After 18 weeks, the quantitative urine protein in 24 h, the serum cholesterol and triglycerides levels were tested. The pathological changes of renal tissue were observed under optic microscope. The expressions of GRP78 and p-JNK in renal tissues were examined by immunohistochemistry. The apoptotic cells in the kidney were detected by TUNEL staining. The mRNA expressions of GRP78 and CHOP were examined by RT-PCR. RESULTS: The quantitative urine protein in 24 h, the serum lipid, the expressions of GRP78 and p-JNK proteins, the mRNA expressions of GRP78 and CHOP as well as the apoptotic cells in renal tissues were increased in high fat group (P<0.01).The quantitative urine protein in 24 h, the serum lipid, the expression of GRP78 and p-JNK proteins, the mRNA expressions of GRP78 and CHOP as well as the apoptotic cells in renal tissues were remarkably reduced in simvastatin+high fat group than those in high fat group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The endoplasmic reticulum stress is engaged in the renal injury caused by hyperlipidemia. The simvastatin play a role in renal protection by inhibiting the endoplasmic reticulum stress in the kidney.

Objective To investigate clinical significance of counting follicles classification by three-dimensional imaging with sonography based automated volume calculation(SonoAVC)in the diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).Methods Eighty cases with PCOS were counted classified follicles and determined ovarian volume by three-dimensional(3D)imaging with SonoAVC method matched with 60 infertile women with fallopian tube or male factors as control.Main clinical.biological and other ultrasonographic markers were assessed during the early follicular phase,and the relationship between the follicle number range per ovary or the volume per ovary and the major hormonal features of PCOS was studied.Results Three-dimensional ultrasound imaging with SonoAVC methed provides a new path for objective quantitative assessment of follicle count.ovarian volume,total follicle numbers.The volume of (11 ±8)ml,total numbers of 27 ±14 follicle and number of22 ±19 follicle with diameter of≥2-<6 mm in PCOS patients were significantly higher than(6 ±4)ml in ovarian volume.6 ±4 in total follicles and 2 ±3 in follicle with diameter of≥2-<6 mm in controls(P<0.05).while follicles were similar for the≥6-≤9mm range(P>0.05).Total follicle numbers and follicles≥2-<6 mm had significantly positive relationships with ovarian volume ( r= 0. 600, 0. 618, P<0. 01 ) and level of testosterones ( r= 0. 364,0. 291, P<0.05), follicles ≥2-<6 mm also had significantly positive relationships with total follicle number (r=0. 916,P<0. 01 ). The follicles within the ≥6 - ≤9 mm range was significantly and negatively related to ovarian volume and total follicle numbers ( r = - 0. 618, - 0. 263, all P = 0. 001 ), but no significantly related to the major hormonal features of PCOS. The ovarian volume was significantly positively related with luteinizing hormone ( LH)/follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio ( r= 0. 282, P = 0. 010)but negatively related to FSH level (r = - 0. 226, P = 0. 042). Conclusions Ovarian volume, total follicle numbers and follicles ≥2 - <6 mm in PCOS patients were significantly higher than those in controls. The larger ovarian volume might produce more total follicle and follicles ≥ 2 - <6 mm. The higher level of testosterone might produce more total follicle probably, which mainly result in more follicles ≥2 -<6 mm.These morphologically ultrasonographic characteristics could reflect pathophysiological changes in PCOS. Obviously, it has important clinical significance to count follicles in patients with PCOS by the threedimensional ultrasound imaging with SonoAVC method.

Objective To investigate regional ventricular long-axis velocity and adjacent intraventricular flow velocity using dual-pulse wave(PW) Doppler echocardiography synchronously,and to analyze the coupling relationship between regional ventricular long-axis strain and adjacent intraventricular pressure gradients in normal cases using dual-PW Doppler echocardiography.Methods Eighty-six normal subjects aged 19~66 years [mean age (37.49 ± 11.97)years] underwent routine echocardiography and dualPW Doppler echocardiographic exam.Total 18 segments were sampled using dual-PW Doppler (PW/TDI mode) images at basal,mid and apical levels on three standard apical views,and electrocardiogram was recorded simultaneously.Peak early diastolic velocity (emax),peak late diastolic velocity (amax),peak early mitral diastolic inflow velocity (Emax),regional peak early diastolic velocity (Em),regional peak late diastolic velocity (Am) and regional peak early diastolic inflow velocity (E) were measured simultaneously in the same one cardiac cycle.Myocardial variations of left ventricular segments were observed.Em,Am and E of different levels from different ventricular wall were analyzed.The co-relationship between regional ventricular long-axis strain and adjacent intraventricular pressure gradients were calculated and analyzed.Results ①Regional myocardial velocity and regional peak early diastolic inflow velocity in normal subjects declined from basal to apical segments gradually at the same ventricular wall (P < 0.01).② Emax was correlated with emax(r =0.418,P <0.001),and E was correlated with Em (posterior septum,r =0.610,P <0.001 ;anterior wall,r =0.499,P <0.001).③There was a medium correlation between normal longaxis strain in segments and adjacent intraventricular pressure gradients (the global,r =0.412,P <0.001 ;posterior septum,r =0.319,P <0.005).Conclusions The acquirement of E and Em by dual-PW Doppler showed downtrend of segmental wall movement and regional blood flow from basal segment to apex.Emax is correlated with e E is correlated with Em,and long-axis strain at segments is correlated with adjacent intraventricular pressure gradients partly.Dual-PW Doppler might provide a potential method for the more precise evaluation of left ventricular fluid-solid coupling during diastole.
