Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2014;(1):5-8
Functional experiment plays an important role in basic theory and clinical practice. For training high-quality medical talents in medical colleges,many improvements have been made in the functional experiment teaching and certain effects have been obtained. But a comprehensive evalu-ation system was still needed. Clinical medical students of 2010 grade were taken as the appraisal objects. Assessment content,methods and standards were designed according to the basic requirements of functional experiment. Students were evaluated by ordinary performance,test papers and experiment competition. Practice showed that the system was of significant importance in improving the experi-mental teaching quality and developing students' practical ability and comprehensive quality.
5.Progress in microRNA as biomarker for the early diagnosis of acute kidney injury
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2017;40(8):633-636
In recent years the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) has increased, with a high mortality rate and poor prognosis.The key of improving the prognosis of AKI is early diagnosis and intervention.Due to the lack of biomarkers of early diagnosis in AKI, the effective early treatment is generally delayed.Traditional diagnosis biomarkers such as serum creatinine and blood urea are delayed and affected by various factors.Recently, some new potential early diagnostic biomarkers have been found.MicroRNA(hereinafter referred to as the miRNA) is a kind of endogenous non-coding small RNA, and studies have shown that it is related to the development of AKI.
6.Effects of Resistance Exercise on Blood Pressure Variability and Blood Pressure in Patients with Frequent Intra-dialytic Hypotension
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2017;23(7):851-854
Objective To explore the effects of resistance exercise on intradialytic blood pressure variability and the lowest blood pres-sure. Methods From September, 2015 to March, 2016, 80 patients with intradialytic hypotension frequently during maintenance hemodialy-sis were included, and divided into control group (n=40) and intervention group (n=40) by drawing lots. Both groups accepted routine nurs-ing, while the intervention group accepted resistance exercise during hemodialysis. The coefficient of variation (CV) of blood pressure and the lowest blood pressure were compared twelve weeks later. Results The CV of systolic blood pressure was less in the intervention group than in the control group (t=-4.356, P<0.001), while the lowest blood pressure, both systolic and diastolic, were more (t>4.122, P<0.001). Conclusion Resistance exercise may reduce the intradialytic systolic blood pressure variability and increase the lowest blood pressure in pa-tients with frequent intradialytic hypotension.

ObjectiveTo explore the role and mechanism of NGAL in the process of hypoxia/ reoxygenation (H/R) injury in human renal tubular epithelial cell (HK-2).MethodsThe H/R model of HK-2 cells was established in vitro (oxygen concentration < 0.1% ).The expressions of NGAL in the cells of H/R group and control group were determined by WB and real-time RT-PCR.The cell models were treated with 50,100,200,400 and 1 000 ng/ml of recombinant NGAL respectively.Cell proliferation and apoptosis of the treated groups and control group were detected by the MTT assay and Annexin V-FITC/PI staining to determine the appropriate NGAL concentration.The cell cycle distributions in the H/R group,NGAL treated H/R group and control group were detected by flow cytometry,and the expressions of bax/bcl-2 and caspase-3 were measured by real-time RT-PCR.The experiments were triplicated to obtain the mean values.Results The protein expression of NGAL/actin in H/R group (5.875 ±0.081 ) was higher than that of the control group ( 1.513 ±0.032),the differences between the two groups had statistic significance (t =96.89,P <0.05). While the gene expressions of NGAL/actin in HL/R groups (12.32 ± 1.27 ) and control group ( 1.00 ±0.00) had statistical significance of difference ( t =15.40,P < 0.05 ).In MTT assay,the absorption values of the H/R group and control group were 0.97 ± 0.03 and 0.56 ± 0.04,the differences had statistic significance( t =18.680,P < 0.05 ).And the absorption value of cells treated with different concentrations of NGAL (50,100,200,400,1 000 ng/ml) were 0.56±0.04,0.53 ±0.03,0.56 ±0.04,0.53 ± 0.03,0.54 ± 0.02,respectively.There were no significant differences between the H/R group and NGAL treated groups ( F =0.978,P > 0.05 ),but the differences of absorption values in the control group and other groups had statistical significance ( F =105.20,P < 0.05 ).The ratios of early apoptotic cells ( Annexin V positive,PI negative) in the control group and the H/R group were ( 1.0 ±0.2) % and ( 27.6 ± 1.4 ) % respectively with a statistical significance of difference ( t =33.590,P <0.05 ).After the treatment of NGAL ( 50,100 ng/ml),the ratios were ( 27.8 ± 1.1 ) % and ( 26.4 ±1.3 ) % and there were no significant differences compared to the H/R group ( t =0.250,P > 0.05 ).When the H/R model was treated with 200 ng/ml of NGAL,the ratio of early apoptotic cells dropped to ( 19.4 ± 0.6) %,leading to a statistical significance of difference ( t =10.350,P < 0.05 ).However,in the H/R model treated with high concentration of NGAL (400,1 000 ng/ml),the ratios were ( 19.3 ± 1.1 )% and ( 18.9 ±0.5 ) %,which had no significant differences compared to the cells treated with 200 ng/ml of NGAL (t =0.130,0.630; P >0.05).Thus the study chose 200 ng/ml as the appropriate treating concentration of NGAL.In the control group,H/R group and 200 ng/ml,NGAL treated HR group,PI values were (30.2 ±0.4)%,(22.1 ± 2.7 )% and (23.2 ± 3.7 )% respectively.There were no significant differences between the H/R group and NGAL treated group (t =0.510,P >0.05),but there was still statistical significance in difference among the control group and the treated groups ( F =8.28,P < 0.05 ).The ratio of bax/bcl-2 and the expression of caspase-3 detected by real-time RT-PCR were 1.00 ± 0.00,1.00 ± 0.00 in the control group,5.83 ±0.33,8.13 ±0.20 in the H/R group and 2.52 ±0.07,1.89 ±0.02 in the NGAL treated H/R group.The bax/bcl-2 ( F =485.30,P < 0.05 ) and caspase-3 ( F =3456.78,P < 0.05 ) did have statistical significances of difference among the three groups.ConclusionsNGAL acts as a protective factor against hypoxia-reoxygenation injury by regulating pro-apoptotic genes.It provides a new idea and evidences for the treatment of AKI caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury.
