OBJECTIVE: To establish a New Zealand rabbit model of acute kidney injury induced by cisplatin. METHODS: A total of 24 male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into control group,low-,medium-and high-dose cisplatin group according to the body mass. Rabbits were injected with cisplatin at 0. 0,1. 0,2. 0,4. 0 mg/kg body weight by auricular vein. Rabbits in low-dose group was continuously injected for 5 days,medium-dose group was continuously injected for 3 days,and the high-dose group was injected for once per day. Rabbits in the control group did not receive any treatment. Blood was collected from the middle ear artery and 24 h urine was taken before exposure and on day 1,day 3,day 5 and day 7 of injection. The serum creatinine( Scr) and urea nitrogen( BUN) were detected by colorimetric method,and 24 h urine kidney injury molecule 1( KIM-1) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Plasma platinum,24 h urinary platinum and renal platinum level were detected by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.At the end of the experiment,rabbits were sacrificed and the left kidney was taken for histopathological examination.RESULTS: The body mass of rabbits of the low-,medium-and high-dose groups on day 7 after cisplatin exposure was lower than that of the control group( P < 0. 05),and lower than that of the same group before exposure( P < 0. 05). After 3 days of exposure,the Scr level in each dose group was higher than that of the control group( P < 0. 05),the Scr level on day 3and day 5 in medium-and high-dose groups were higher than that of the low-dose group( P < 0. 05). The BUN levels on day 3 and day 5 in medium-and high-dose group were higher than that of the control group and low-dose group( P <0. 05),the BUN levels on day 7 in three dose groups were higher than that of the control group( P < 0. 05). The levels of plasma platinum and 24 h urinary platinum in the three doses groups of New Zealand rabbits on day 1,day 3,day 5 and day 7 after exposure were higher than that of the control group( P < 0. 05),and were higher than the pre-treatment levels of the same group( P < 0. 05). The level of 24 h urinary KIM-1 in the meclium-dose group of New Zealand rabbits was higher than that of the control group on day 3 of exposure( P < 0. 05). The level of 24 h urinary KIM-1 in the mediumdose group of New Zealand rabbits on the 5th day after exposure was higher than that of the control group( P < 0. 05). The renal platinum levels in the three groups of New Zealand rabbits were higher than that in the control group( P < 0. 05).The pathological changes of rabbit kidney caused by cisplatin are mainly tubular dilatation,protein cast,alkalophilic and interstitial nephritis. CONCLUSION: Cisplatin can induce acute kidney injury in rabbits,and the degree of injury is dosedependent. The dose of 1. 0 mg/kg body weight continuous injection for 5 days is closely related to clinical use of cisplatin,which is recommended for model establishment.

Objective:To investigate the expression level of C-type lectin domain family 4 member G ( CLEC4 G) in liver disease tissues and its correlation with the clinicopathological characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Methods:The cancer tissue and the corresponding adjacent tissues (at least 2 cm from the edge of the cancer tissue), cut in surgeries from January to December in 2019, of 40 HCC patients in Zhuzhou Central Hospital, as well as 10 normal liver tissue samples (seen as far away as possible from the edge of the cancer tissue with naked eyes) and 10 liver cirrhosis samples were analyzed retrospectively. The tumor genome atlas (TCGA) database was used to screen the HCC transcriptome data sets, and bioinformatics methods were used to make expression heat maps and box maps which can help analyze the difference of CLEC4 G in cancer and adjacent tissues. The mRNA expression level of CLEC4 G was detected by conducting real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR), and the protein expression level of CLEC4G was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( Mean± SD). Group t test was used for inter-group comparison. The counting information was expressed as a percentage (%). The χ2 test was adopted to analyze the correlation between CLEC4 G expression level and the clinicopathological features of patients. Results:The expression level of CLEC4 G in cancer tissues was significantly decreased in heat map compared with that in adjacent tissues. In the box figure, the relative expression of CLEC4 G mRNA in the cancer tissues was (82.5±18.9) and (3 354.4±296.2) in paracancer tissues, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.001). Respectively, qRT-PCR and IHC showed that mRNA of CLEC4 G were abundant in normal liver tissues (3 301.3±286.4), while they were very little in liver cancer tissues (63.6±32.9), significantly decreasing in liver cirrhosis (1 742.6±208.7) and paracancer tissues (1 553.2±249.9), with statistically significant difference ( P<0.001). Moreover, low CLEC4 G expression level was associated with tumor vascular metastasis in HCC patients. Conclusions:CLEC4 G is highly expressed in normal liver tissue, but with the progression of malignant liver disease, it is significantly decreased with little expression in HCC tissue. It can be expected to be a good marker for the pathological diagnosis of HCC.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of children with atopic dermatitis (AD) and the changes in serum levels of apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1), 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and eosinophil derived neurotoxin (EDN).Methods:200 children with AD treated in Zhuzhou Central Hospital from January 2016 to December 2019 were selected retrospectively as AD group and 100 healthy children as control group. The clinical characteristics of children with AD were analyzed, and the differences in serum Apo A1, 25 (OH)D and EDN levels between two groups were compared. The relationships between serum Apo A1, 25(OH)D, EDN levels and severity of AD were explored.Results:The male to female composition ratio of 200 AD patients was 1.41∶1, and the age of onset <3 months was the highest (64.50%). Inhalation allergens were detected in 118 cases (59.00%) and ingestion allergens in 82 cases (41.00%). The levels of Apo A1 and EDN in AD group were significantly higher than those in control group, while the level of 25(OH)D was significantly lower than that in control group ( P<0.05). With the aggravation of the disease, the serum Apo A1 and EDN levels in AD children increased gradually, while the serum 25(OH)D level decreased significantly (all P<0.05). Severity Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) was positively correlated with Apo A1 and EDN levels ( P<0.05), and was negatively correlated with 25(OH)D level (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Apo A1, 25 (OH)D and EDN are involved in the pathogenesis of AD in children, and their serum levels are closely related to the severity of AD.
