Objective To investigate the blood pressure circadian rhythm in patients with IgA nephropathy by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and explore its role in the disease progression. Methods A cross sectional study was carried out.Blood pressure rhythm was studied by ambulatory 24-hour monitoring with a portable oscillometric recorder in selected patients with primary IgA nephropathy.The term dipper was described as blood pressure during night dropped at least 10% below daytime blood pressure.The term non-dipper referred to those in whom the nocturnal decline in blood pressure was less than 10%.Clinicopathological indices between dipper and non-dipper groups were compared. Results Ninety-three patients completed ambulatory blood pressure monitoring among whom 68 (73%) patients were non-dipper.The frequency of non-dipper was 70%,70% and 81% in the patients at chronic kidney disease stage 1,2 and 3 or more.The frequency did not differ among these three group patients (P=-0.587).77% of patients with hypertension and 69% of patients with normotension were non-dipper (P=0.373).The disappearance of blood pressure circadian rhythm in IgA nephropathy was not influenced by age,gender,blood pressure,proteinuria,renal function and renal pathology lesions.Among the patients who were followed up regularly for more than 12 months (n=54),patients in the dipper group had a trend of slower eGFR decline rate than those in non-dipper group albeit the difference was not significant (P=0.329).Subgroup analysis revealed that in patients with hypertension and non-dipper (n=29),the eGFR decline rate was much faster than that in dipper group[(-6.79±11.58 )vs (-0.34±1.74) ml ·min-1 ·(1.73 m2)-1·year-1,P=0.019]. Conclusions Most patients with IgA nephropathy present disappearance of blood pressure circadian rhythm,even among those at an early stage or without hypertension.The loss of blood pressure rhythm may be associated with a rapid renal function decline rate in those with hypertension.

BACKGROUND: Stem cells are relatively primitive cells possessing the capabilities of self-renewal, high proliferation and multi-potential differentiation in vivo under certain conditions. Pancreatic stem cells and umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may serve therapeutic purpose clinically, but they are still difficult to culture in vitro at present.OBJECTIVE: To explore the method for isolation, purification and culture of pancreatic stem cells and umbilical cord blood MSCs in vitro and observe their morphological changes during culture in vitro.DESIGN: Completely randomized experiment with repeated measurement.SETTING: Stem Cell Research Center, Teaching and Research Division of Physiology, Medical School of Zhengzhou University.MATERIALS: This experiment was conducted in the Stem Cell Research Center, Teaching and Research Division of Physiology, Medical College of Zhengzhou University, between April 2004 and January 2005. Ten to fifteen newborn SD rats (1-3 days) were selected for culture in vitro of pancreatic stem cells, and fresh umbilical cord blood was collected from healthy woman (24-35 years old, with informed consent) at full-term delivery for culture in vitro of umbilical blood SMCs.METHODS: The abdomen of the newborn SD rat was opened under aseptic condition to obtain the pancreas, which was cut into small tissue blocks and digested with type-V collagenase for islet isolation. The isolated islets were purified in continuous roller-bottle culture. Umbilical cord blood was freshly collected for isolating the monocytes by means of density gradient centrifugation in lymphocyte separation medium (with density of 1.077 g/cm3). The islet cells and umbilical cord blood monocytes were cultured in the incubator at 37 ℃ with 5% CO2. The morphological changes of the cells were observed at designed time points and flow cytometry was used to determine the expression of cell surface molecules.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The isolation and culture of pancreatic stem cells and umbilical cord blood MSCs, and their morphological changes during culture in vitro.RESULTS: During culture in vitro, the fusiform islet progenitor cells showed adherent polar growth and continuous proliferation, which covered the whole bottom of the flask after 12-14 days and could be subcultured for passages. However round cells appeared after removal of the growth factor and serum in the culture medium. The monocytes isolated from the umbilical cord blood grew initially into numerous hematopoietic cell clones, most of which proved to be granulocyte clones by Switzerland staining. Seven days later, flat flask wall-adhering epithelial cells and long fusiform fibroblasts were observed mixed with a number of osteoclasts. As the cell culture was prolonged, the cell number increased steadily.CONCLUSION: Pancreatic stem cells and umbilical cord blood SMCs can be cultured in vitro for further experiments.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical significance and histological origin of glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion in patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). MethodsSeventy-four patients with idiopathic FSGS hospitalized in Peking University First Hospital from Jan. 2000 to Dec.2005 were enrolled in this study. Patients were classified into two groups according to with or without glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion. Estimation of active and chronic pathological scores was carried out using a semi-quantitative grade system by two pathologists. Clinical and pathological characteristics were compared between two groups. Immunohistochemical studies were performed to analyze the histological origin of glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion. ResultsThirty-one patients with glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion showed shorter interval from presentation to biopsy (P<0.05), higher percentage of nephrotic syndrome (NS) (P<0.05), higher frequency of segmental glomerulosclerosis(P<0.05), higher pathological active scores (P<0.05) and lower pathological chronic scores (P<0.05)as compared to 43 patients without glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion. Twenty-nine patients were followed up and renal survival rate in patients with glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion (39.7%) was significantly lower than that in patients without glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion (83.3%) (P=0.049). The frequency of glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion and the serum creatinine (Scr) level at biopsy were independent predictors of ESRD (OR value was 1.204, 1.008 respectively ). Glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion did not express mature podocyte markers including WT-1 and pedocalyxin, but stained positive for PCNA, PAX-2 and CK-8. ConclusionsGlomerular epithelial proliferative lesion represents the pathological change of acute stage and active lesion of FSGS, and also may be the pathological marker of severe clinical presentation and worse renal survival. Glomerular epithelial proliferative lesion may be derived from proliferation of parietal epithelial proliferation or de-differentiated podocytes.
