Objective To observe the influence of selenocysteine synthase(SEPSECS) on injury of human umbilical vein endothelial cell line EVC-304 induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Methods Transfection was conducted to transfect EVC-304 which was maintained in vitro. The cells were divided into four groups: control group, SEPSECS over-expression group, empty vector group and SEPSECS silenced expression group, then Real-time PCR and Western blotting were performed to detected SEPSECS mRNA and protein expression , respectively. Flow cytometry(FCM) was performed to detect cell cycle. Different concentrations of H2O2, which including 0, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1 000 μmol/L, were used to treat EVC-304 . Then malonaldehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase(SOD) secreted by the cells which were treated with H2O2 for 6 h, were checked by MDA or SOD kit. Results The SEPSECS mRNA expressions of control, SEPSECS silenced expression, empty vector and SEPSECS over-expression groups were 1.03 ± 0.24, 0.43 ± 0.11, 0.98 ± 0.27 and 1.61 ± 0.13, respectively. The protein expressions of control, SEPSECS silenced expression, empty vector and SEPSECS over-expression groups were 1.00 ± 0.26, 0.51 ± 0.10, 1.12 ± 0.38 and 1.51 ± 0.20, respectively. There was a significant difference between control and SEPSECS silenced expression groups (all P<0.05), at the same time , this phenomenon was also observed between empty vector and SEPSECS over-expression groups (all P<0.05). The level of MDA was increased along with the H2O2 concentration. Besides, cell cycle was also tested, however, significant difference was not observed(all P > 0.05). Meanwhile, MDA of SEPSECS silenced expression groups[(15.8 ± 0.5),(19.6 ± 1.5)μmol/L] were significantly higher than control groups[(12.4 ± 0.1),(17.1 ± 0.5)μmol/L, all P < 0.05], on the other hand, MDA of SEPSECS over-expression groups[(10.8 ± 0.4),(14.2 ± 1.1)μmol/L] were lower than empty vector groups [(12.7 ± 0.7),(16.2 ± 1.1)μmol/L, all P < 0.05], when the H2O2 concentration was 800 or 1 000μmol/L. The level of SOD was decreased along with the H2O2 concentration. SOD of SEPSECS silenced expression groups[(7.7 ± 0.4),(2.4 ± 0.3)μmol/L] were lower than control groups[(10.0 ± 1.0),(6.0 ± 0.6)μmol/L, all P < 0.05], on the contrary, SOD of SEPSECS over-expression groups[(11.3 ± 0.6),(12.7 ± 1.6)μmol/L] were higher than empty vector groups[(9.2 ± 0.6),(6.7 ± 0.2)μmol/L, all P < 0.05], when the H2O2 concentration was 800 or 1 000μmol/L. Conclusion Expression of SEPSECS has a significant protective role on damaged EVC-304 which was induced by H2O2.

Objective To evaluate the value of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonic imaging of vascular volume in assessing postoperative acute rejection(AR) of renal transplant patients. Methods Color Doppler flow imaging(CDFI) and 3D vascular volumetric parameters were collected and analyzed in 30 cases with stable renal function (control group) and 13 cases with AR of kidney transplantation (AR group). The diagnostic performances of each ultrasonic parameter were compared by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results The parameters of resistance index(RI) and pulsatility index(PI) in AR group were significantly higher than those in control group( P <0.005 and P <0. 05, respectively). Analysis of the areas under ROC curve showed that the area under VFI curve was the largest;no significant difference( P > 0. 05) was found compared the area under VFI curve to those areas under VI,FI and MG curves;Comparing the area under VFI curve to those under RI, V and PI,there were significant differences( P <0. 05). Taking VFI≤18. 78% as the critical value, the sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of AR of transplanted kidneys were 70. 0% and 93. 3% ,and the positive and negative predictive values were 60. 8% and 93. 4%, respectively. Conclusions The sensitivity and specifity of 3D vascular volumetric imaging parameter VFI in the diagnosis of transplanted kidneys with AR were higher than those of blood flow parameters RI and PL VFI with the optimal critical value of ≤18. 78% might be a useful index for the early diagnosis of transplanted kidneys with AR.

A 66-year-old female patient presented with blisters on the scalp and neck for 1 month. She had a history of type 2 diabetes for 6 years, and started taking the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor linagliptin at a dose of 5 mg once a day 6 months before the onset of eruption. Skin examination showed scattered mung bean- to peanut-sized blisters on the scalp, and some blisters broke with exudation and crusts. There was a pigeon egg-sized bulla and two mung bean-sized blisters on the left neck, with tense blister walls, clear blister fluids, non-erythematous base, and Nikolsky′s sign was negative. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay revealed that the serum levels of anti-BP180 NC16A and anti-BP230 antibodies were 5.81 and 139.76 kU/L respectively. Histopathological examination of the blister on the neck showed subepidermal blister formation, and infiltration with neutrophils and a few eosinophils in the blister. The patient was finally diagnosed with localized anti-BP230-type bullous pemphigoid. This case of anti-BP230-type bullous pemphigoid associated with the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor linagliptin was firstly reported in China.
