OBJECTIVE:To study the protective effects of Danshen injection on 5/6 nephrectomiy induced model rats with in-flammatory renal injury. METHODS:50 rats were equally randomized into a sham-operation (isometric distilled water) group,a model (isometric distilled water) group,a positive control [captopril 5 mg/(kg·d)] group and Danshen injection low-dose and high-dose [1.6,4.8 ml/(kg·d)] groups. Models were established by performing 5/6 nephrectomy on the rats in all groups except the sham-operation group. The rats were given drugs for 4 consecutive weeks from the 6th week. 24 h urine protein was determined for all rats every week. After the last administration,the contents of creatinine,urea nitrogen and interleukins 1β(IL-1β),IL-2 and IL-10 in rats’serum were determined. Pathological changes and infiltration of macrophages CD68 in rats’kidney tissues were ob-served. RESULTS:Compared to the sham-operation group,those in the model group had more 24 h urine protein and more obvi-ous renal pathologic changes during 1-4 weeks of administration,and higher contents of creatinine,urea nitrogen,IL-1β,IL-2 and IL-10 and CD68 positive expression in serum. Compared to the model group,during 2-4 weeks of administration,those in the posi-tive control group and Danshen injection low-dose and high-dose groups had less 24 h urine protein,milder renal pathologic chang-es,and lower contents of creatinine,urea nitrogen,IL-1β and CD68 positive expression in serum,and higher content of IL-10, and only the rats in the positive control group demonstrated lower IL-2 content. There of the above were statistical differences(P<0.01 or P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Danshen injection can alleviate renal pathologic changes and reduce inflammatory injury of the kidneys of 5/6 nephrectomiy induced model rats.

Objective To compare the effectiveness of two different modes of follicular aspiration(FA)guided by transvaginal ultrasound(TVU)in infertile patients with clomiphene citrate(CC)-resistant polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).Methods From December 2005 to December 2007,85 patients with CC-resistant PCOS were randomly divided into two groups.Group Ⅰ(thorough treatment)had the every possible small follicles being punctured and aspirated,while group Ⅱ(routine operation)only had the larger follicles being operated.These patients were monitored with TVU and testing the steroid hormone levels.The effect of the two methods on the hormone levels and rates of ovulation and pregnancy were analyzed.Results After the treatments,the cumulative rates of ovulation and pregnancy in the group Ⅰ were higher than those in the group Ⅱ 83.3%(25/30)vs 42.1%(16/38),?2=11.903,P=0.001;43.3%(13/30)vs 13.2%(5/38),?2=7.843,P=0.005].Moreover,the levels of luteinizing hormone(LH)and testosterone(T)were decreased significantly after the treatment in group Ⅰ (17.68?3.11)vs(11.58?1.84),t=9.220,P=0.000;(3.41?2.14)vs(1.47?1.29),t=3.937,P=0.000],whereas those in group Ⅱ were not improved markedly (17.76?4.51)vs(16.11?3.53),t=0.229,P=0.062;(3.88?1.54)vs(3.72?1.27),t=0.995,P=0.326].Conclusions Thorough treatment that has the every possible small follicle being punctured and aspirated can significantly improve the endocrinological abnormalities,and increase the rates of ovulation and pregnancy in patients with CC-resistant PCOS.

In order to simultaneously remove carbon and nitrogen from organic-rich wastewater, we used an up-flow anaerobic sludge bed/blanket (UASB) reactor that was started up with anammox with high concentration of carbon and nitrogen by gradually raising the organic loading of influent. We optimized the removal of nitrogen and carbon when the chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration varied from 172 to 620 mg/L. During the entire experiment, the ammonium and total nitrogen removal efficiency was higher than 85%, while the average COD removal efficiency was 56.6%. The high concentration of organic matter did not restrain the activity of anammox bacteria. Based on polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) and tapping sequencing analyses, the Planctomycete, Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, Chlorobi bacteria are detected in the UASB reactor, which indicated complex removal pathway of carbon and nitrogen coexisted in the reactor. However, a part of Planctomycete which referred to anammox bacteria could tolerate a high content of organic carbon, and it provided help for high performance of nitrogen removal in UASB reactor.

Objective To estimate the diagnostic value of the patients of intrauterine pregnancy abortion (IUPA) of pregnancies of unknown location (PUL) with transvaginal power Doppler ultrasound (TV-PDU) combining Logistic regression model and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve.Methods Endometria of PUL were detected by TV-PDU during the early pregnancy.Serum β-HCG and progesterone were analyzed meanwhile.All variables were researched by multiple factors Logistic regression.Logistic regression equationg were established.ROC curve was constructed and the cut-off value of endometrial mnographic findings and clinical data to diagnose intrauterine pregnancy abortion were studied.The accuracy of every univariate and multivariable were evaluated and the validity and stability of the Logistic regression equation were tested.Results The RI value and PSV were included in the multivariate model 1 (M1),while the serum progesterone,type of endometrial resonance and gestation age were included in the multivariate model 2(M2).The area under the curve of M1,M2 were 0.887,0.976,respectivdy.Youden index and positive predictive value were 90.8%,87.5% and 12.213,8.000,respectively.Specificity and positive predictive value of M2 was lower than M1 which had a hisher accuracy.Diagnostic value were increased obviously by the use of M1 and M2 comparing with univariate and the stability was all righL Conclusions Possibility of IUPA could be predicted by TV-PDU simply,atraumaticly and efficiently.A close rehaion is found between the hemodypnmic parameter of endometria and the IUPA.

To study the enrichment regulation of anammox bacteria during the whole start-up process of anammox reaction, two reactors with addition of carries of Spherical Plastic (SP) and Bamboo Charcoal (BC) and one without carrier (CK) were used to start anammox reaction. Then FISH and q-PCR analyses for the growth of all anammox bacteria were conducted during the operational process. The results indicate that the number of anammox bacteria in all reactors increased with time during the whole start-up process, which was consistent with the removal rate of ammonium and nitrite. On day 123 of stable phase, the percent of anammox cells in the sludge of CK, SP and BC accounted for 23.3%, 32.6% and 43.7%, respectively. The number of anammox bacteria 16S rRNA gene copies was (25.64 +/- 2.76) x 10(7), (47.12 +/- 2.76) x 10(7) and (577.99 +/- 27.25) x 10(7) copies g(-1) VSS in the sludge of CK, SP and BC, respectively. Carrier addition could dramatically increase enrichment of anammox bacteria. BC addition significantly increased the anammox bacteria number in the UASB reactor which resulted in the acceleration of the anammox start-up process. In addition, the max specific growth rate and the minimum doubling time were 0.064 d(-1) and 10.8 d in BC reactor. The max specific growth rate of anammox bacteria in BC reactor was 1.78 times and 1.88 times greater than that in CK and SP reactor, respectively. Therefore, the FISH and q-PCR analyses were suitable for determining the enrichment regulation of anammox bacteria during the start-up time, while a bit of differences in results existed between the two analytical methods due to the difference in analysis targets.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of ethanol extracts of Panax notoginseng on the tumor and the liver metastasis in experimental mice grafted with B16 melanoma. METHODS: B16 melanoma was transplanted in the spleen of C57BL/6 mice. The effects of different doses of ethanol extracts of Panax notoginseng on the inhibition rate of spleen tumors and the liver metastasis were observed respectively. RESULTS: The high-, medium-, and low-doses of the extracts and the interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) can improve the quality of life of the experimental mice. The weights of spleen tumor were lower in the low- and medium-dose extracts-treated groups and the IFN-alpha-treated group than that in the normal saline (NS)-treated group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The liver metastasis was less in the low- and medium-dose extracts-treated groups and the IFN-alpha-treated group than that in the NS-treated group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The ethanol extracts of Panax notoginseng can improve the quality of life of the experimental mice and inhibit the growth of tumor and the liver metastasis.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of preoperative panel reactive antibody(PRA)levels on long-term survival after kidney transplantation. Methods:Data on 1 162 patients underwent first kidney transplantation performed between January 2001 and June 2014 were included in our center. According to the preoperative PRA levels,the patients were divided into negative group( PRA≤10%) and positive group( PRA>10%) ,which were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The 1-,5-,10-year patient survival rates of the negative group calculated by Kaplan-Meier were 96. 8%,89. 4%,78. 6%,respectively,while the positive group were 93. 5%,81. 6%, 65. 4%. The 1-,5-,10 -year death-censored graft survival rates of the negative group were 95. 9%,84. 8%,63. 1%,respectively,while the positive group were 92. 3%,74. 1%,51. 9%. The log-rank test revealed that there was significant difference between the patient and graft survival curves (χ2 =9. 623/11. 019, P=0. 002/0. 001 ) . Cox multivariate analysis found that preoperative PRA levels were independent risk factors for reducing the patient or graft survival rates(P<0. 001). Logistic multivariate regression analysis confirmed the significant association between preoperative PRA levels and the risk of acute rejection ( OR=8. 25,95% CI=2. 86-5. 72, P<0. 001). The 5-,10-year creatinine values were significantly lower in the negative group compared to the positive group(all P<0. 05), while there was no difference in the 1-year. In addition, Logistic multivariate regression analysis confirmed the significant association between preoperative PRA levels and the production of donor specific antibody(DSA)(OR=6. 89,95% CI=4. 52-9. 17,P<0. 05). Conclusion: The detection of preoperative PRA is an important indictor predicting the sensitivity status of the recipients. The preoperative PRA positive recipients need careful monitoring and diagnosis of acute rejection and DSA after kidney transplantation.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the genome-wide methylation differences between coronary heart disease (CHD) patients and healthy volunteers,and to investigate the relationsip of DNA methylation with CHD from epigenetics. METHODS:In case-control study,subjects were divided into CHD group(50 cases)and health control group(50 cases). DNA of 2 groups were sequenced with methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing technology. The genome-wide methylation differences were analyzed and compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:The number of methylation peak in CHD group was higher than health group,with statistical signfi-cance(P<0.05). The methylation peak mainly distributed in 5'UTR,Intron functional elements. The number of reads in AQP1,SHB and other gene promoters in CHD group were lower than health group,and its methylation level decreased. The number of reads in GRK5 and serveal gene promoters on chrX in CHD group were higher than helath group,and its methylation level increased,with sta-tistical significance(P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:The genome-wide methylation level of CHD patients are higher than those of healthy volunteers. The occurence of CHD is possibly associated with the change of methylation level of related gene promoters.
