Objective To investigate the expression of succinate dehydrogenase subunit A(SDHA)and subunit B (SDHB) in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC),and its relationship with the clinicopathologic characteristics. Methods The expression of SDHA and SDHB was detected in 179 cases of RCC by immunohisto-chemistry and the relationship between the SDHA ,SDHB expression and the clinicopathologic characteristics of RCC were analyzed. Results In 179 cases of RCC,18 cases(10.1%)were shown with negative or suspicious-negative expression of SDHA and SDHB,including 2 cases(1.1%)with suspicious-negative expression of SDHA and SDHB. 12 cases(66.7%)had tumor located in left kidney and 6 cases(33.3%)had tumor located in right kidney. The well-differentiation group contained 15 cases(83.3%),moderate-differentiation group contained 1 case (5.6%)and poor-differentiation group contained 2 cases(11.1%). Most of SDH negative and suspicious negative RCC had the following characteristics that the normal renal tubule could be seen within the tumor. The tumor was composed of polygonal cells arranged in nest ,and the polygonal cells were separated by a fine fibrovascular stroma. The nuclei were shown around with vesicular chromatin. The eosinophilic flocculet material ,vacuole and eosino-philic inclusion body could be seen in the cytoplasm of tumor cells. Conclusion The RCC cases with negative expression of SDHA and SDHB protein have unique histological features ,with significantly higher incidence in the left kidney than that in the right kidney.

AIM: There are many active components of tonifying kidney to strengthen the bone in Kanggu Zengsheng capsule, but there are few reports about its effect in treating bone fracture. CR molybdenum target X-ray is often used in mammary gland examination and disease diagnosis. This study detected the callus density during fracture healing in rats by CR molybdenum target X-ray to explore the promoting effects of Kanggu Zengsheng capsule on fracture healing. METHODS: The experiment was performed at the Laboratory Centre of Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from July 2005 to March 2006. Sixty Wistar rats with an equal amount of males and females, 170-200 g, aged 9-10 months were randomly divided into experimental group and control group (n =30). After the tibial fracture model was made, the rats in the experimental group were given 1 mL Kanggu Zengsheng capsule suspension, 14.00-15.75 mg for each, once daily, while the rats in the control group orally took matching normal saline (9 g/L) once daily. All animals were executed under anesthesia by batch on the 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, and 33rd days after the operation, separately. The diameter of callus was measured with vernier caliper. The values of callus density were calculated by image analysis system in the CR molybdenum target X-ray. RESULTS: Sixty rats were all included in the final analysis. The photo of CR molybdenum target X-ray showed clear bone lines, and bone and soft tissue were evident. During the process of fracture union, there were significant differences in callus density between the two groups (P

There are increasing experimental evidences and clinical data showing that inflammatory reaction plays an important role in the production and development of atherosclerosis. Inflammatory process promotes the production and release of inflammatory factors by activation of monocytes and stimulation of endothelial cells, which stimulate the migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Hydrolases and cytokines are released from the activated and stimulated cells to increase local lesion and form atherosclerotic plaque with the development of inflammation. So, on the basis of the new pathogenesis of atherosclerosis,scientists try to interfere with atherosclerosis by anti-inflammatory pathway. This paper reviews the progress of drugs against atherosclerosis by the modulation of C reaction protein ,CD40-CD40L,infection and NF-?B.

AIM To observe the protective effect of quercetin on vascular endothelial cells injured by homocysteine in rabbits. METHODS The model of the vascular endothelial cells of rabbits injured by homocysteine was established; 50 mg?kg -1, 100 mg?kg -1 and 200 mg?kg -1 of quercetin were orally adminstered. After 30 days, the number of CEC, levels of MDA and NO,SOD activity in the serum were determined; ET concentration in the plasma was detected. The thoracic aorta was isolated to observe the vascular reactivity to nitroglycerin and ACh and tissue change. RESULTS The number of CEC, levels of MDA and ET were decreased and levels of SOD and NO were significantly increased in the quercetin-administered group compared with the injured group.Non-endothelium dependent relaxation of vessel caused by nitroglycerin was similar in all groups. Endothelium dependent relaxation caused by ACh was reduced in the injured group,whileas the relaxation trended to the normal degree in the quercetin-administered group. Pathological examination showed that quercetin was effective on the injured endothelial cells. CONCLUSION Quercetin produces protective effect on the injured vascular endothelial cells by homocysteine in rabbits.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM: To evaluate the guiding effect of high-frequency stimulation ( HFS) on renal denervation ( RDN) , and to compare the similarities and differences of blood pressure changes at the time of electrical stimulation and radiofrequency ablation .METHODS:A total of 6 Kunming dogs were included in this study .Renal artery abnormalities were excluded by angiography .High-frequency stimulation and radiofrequency ablation were performed at the same sites from distal to proximal segments of the renal artery .Invasive blood pressure ( BP) was recorded during the whole proce-dure.The change of the blood pressure was analyzed .HE and Masson staining was adopted to detect the structural changes in the wall of the renal artery and surrounding tissues .The immumohistochemical staining for tyrosine hydroxylase ( TH) was used to observe the renal nerve damage after ablation .RESULTS: Electrical stimulation and radiofrequency ablation were delivered in a total of 50 sites.The BP increasing response was induced at 34%sites (n=17), while the rest sites (66%, n=33) had no response.Compared with the baseline , HFS caused the increases in systolic BP of (0.34 ±3.38), (0.41 ±3.04), (10.47 ±5.73), (13.27 ±3.63), (10.17 ±1.87) and (0.78 ±1.87) mmHg in 6 serial 20 s time segments during 120 s of HFS at positive BP response sites .Similarly, the increases in systolic BP by (-0.88 ±3.44) , (-1.64 ±3.47), (13.17 ±3.12), (12.82 ±3.21), (9.50 ±2.68) and ( -6.09 ±2.21) mmHg were observed dur-ing 120 s of ablation procedure at the same sites in 6 serial 20 s time segments .At non-responding sites , HFS and ablation failed to cause a significant increase in systolic BP .The mean area of nerves in the response sites was ( 0.51 ±0.28 ) mm2, whereas that in non-response sites was (0.09 ±0.06) mm2(P<0.01).The average absorbance values of TH in re-nal nerves at ablation and non-ablation sites were 0.031 ±0.015 and 0.085 ±0.018 ( P <0.01 ) , respectively . CONCLUSION:Renal sympathetic nerves can be effectively mapped by HFS .Radiofrequency ablation guided by HFS is valid to injure sympathetic nerves around renal artery .

This study aims to analyze and improve Howland current source circuit and to study the constant current source of alternating current with high output impedance and high stability. A simulation study was carried out on the constant-current characteristics of Howland current source from two aspects of resistance match value and the selection of Op amp parameters, and then the output impedance was analyzed. The simulation experiment showed that when it was with the best matched resistance, the constant-current characteristics of Howland current source was better. Op amp parameters could affect the constant-current characteristics of Howland current source. In Howland current source circuit, the current source after parameter optimization had better output impedance and load capacity. The results showed that there was the best matched resistance in the selection by Howland current source. The Op amp with large broadband, high slew rate and open loop gain, and wide range of power supply voltage is more suitable for the bioelectrical impedance detection circuit.

Objective To study the effects of the interaction of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and the receptor of AGEs (RAGE) on apoptosis of mice podocytes. Methods Podocytes were exposed to soluble AGEs such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), carboxymethyl-lysin (CML)-BSA, AGE-BSA and matrix-bound AGEs (AGE-modified collagen Ⅳ ), and to different concentrations of AGE, such as 10 mg/L, 50 mg/L, 100 mg/L. Apoptosis was assessed by TUNEL staining. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) was used for the quantification of apoptotic andnecrotic podocytes after Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and propidium iodide (PI) labeling. Apoptosis was described as the ratio of apoptotic cells to the total number cells under the high-power field, siRNA was transfected into podocytes through combining Dharmacon on Targetplus SMART pool siRNA reagents and Amaxa RNAi nucleofection kit. Results The apoptosis rate was higher in podoeytes exposed to either CML-BSA or AGE-BSA than that exposed to BSA. There was a two- to three-fold increase in apoptosis when podocytes were cultured in AGE-modified collagen Ⅳ as compared with native collagen Ⅳ. The apoptotic response of podocytes to AGE-BSA exposure occurred in a dose-dependent manner. Podocyte necrosis occurred only at the highest concentration of AGE-BSA(100 mg/L). AGE-BSA failed to induce apoptosis in podocytes transfected with RAGE siRNA. RAGE-specific gene knockdown did not significantly reduce the apoptosis of podocytes cultured in AGE-modified collagen IV. Conclusions The AGE-RAGE interaction plays a major role in the apoptosis of podocytes triggered by soluble AGEs, but not by matrix-bound AGEs. Reduction of AGE burden and RAGE expression may be important therapeutic approaches to prevent the progression of kidney disease.

Objective To discuss perioperative features, operative approach and surgical effects of spinal tuberculosis in older patients. Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 45 patients with spinal tuberculosis ranging in age from 61 to 78 years (average, 67 years). The lesion was located in thoracic vertebrae in 9 patients, thoracolumbar vertebrae in 14, lumbar in 16, and lumbosacral in 6. Preoperative Frankel grades were B in 7 cases, C in 21, D in 11 and E in 6. Among them, 21 had cardio-cerebrovascular disease, 10 had diabetes mellitus. With preoperative medicine and chemotherapy for 2-3 weeks, all patients were treated surgically. The surgical procedures included: 1) Posterior focus debridement, bone grafting and one-stage posterior transpedicular screw system fixation in thoracic vertebrae (T2-T7). 2) Anterior debridement, bone grafting and one-stage posterior transpedicular instrumental fixation in lumbosacral vertebrae (L5-S1). 3) Anterior focus elimination, bone grafting and one-stage anterior plate fixation in the other vertebrae. Results Forty-five patients were followed up for 24 to 40 months, with the average of 28.5 months. No severe complication occurred during and after operation. Forty-four cases had recovered and 1 recurred. Spinal fusion occurred 12-18 months after operation. Frankel neurological grades improved significantly. Conclusion With the effective management of comorbidities in perioperative period,the elderly could tolerate surgical treatment. The appropriate approaches, thorough debridement and reasonable bone grafting with internal fixation are key to therapeutic success.
