Objective To investigate the value of cystatin CysC on early renal damage in patients with essential hypertensive.Methods Hundred-four patients who were diagnosed as essential hypertensive with microalbuminuria (Urinary microalbumin:20-200 mg/L) with essential hypertensive (58 males and 46 females) were enrolled and 54 healthy subjects (30 males and 24 females) were selected as controls.Serum CysC (CysC)、Crea(Cr) 、BUN、uric acid (UA) were measured and ROC curve was established based on the examination.Results There were significant difference on the level of Serum CysC[1.22(0.91,1.51 ) mg/L vs 0.73 (0.61,0.79 ) mg/L,Z=3.30,P＜0.01],BUN [6.40 ( 4.43,9.06 ) mmol/L vs 5.10 ( 4.34,5.93 ) mmol/L,Z=5.94,P＜0.01],Cr [96.3 (72.6,122.0 ) μmol/L vs 70.5 (56.2,76.0 ) μmol/L,Z=8.30,P＜0.01],UA [375.7 ( 312.3,431.8 ) μmol/L vs 328.7 ( 271,379.3 ) mmol/L,Z=3.28,P＜0.01] between essential hypertensive group and control group.According to ROC curve,the area of CysC under the ROC curve (AUC) in 104 patients was 0.87,significantly different with CR(0.78),BUN(0.66),UA(0.66) (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 ) The Youden index of CysC was 0.69,and the corresponding sensitivity and specificity of CysC were 76％ and 93％ respectively.Conclusion The diagnostic value of serum CysC on early renal damage in patients with essential hypertensive is superior to Cr,BUN and UA,and changes of renal function can be found earlier according to the level of serum CysC,It plays a key role in the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of the early renal damage in patients with essential hypertension.

Objective To study the treatment of sepsis caused by G - bacteria, anti-lipid A antibodies of bacterial endotoxin were screened from phage antibody library. Methods The mRNA was extracted from human B-lymphocytes against lipid A of bacterial endotoxin, reversely transcripted and amplified by polymerase chain reaction using general primers scanning Fd and light chain of IgG. The amplified fragments were inserted into pCOMB3 vector and electrotransfected competent E.coli XL 1-blue cells. Furthermore, the recombinant phage was lysed by coculture with helper VCSM13. Results Fab displayed on the surface as fusion protein with the N terminal of coat protein Ⅲ, and 4.8?10 6 clone library was established. Antibodies against lipid A of bacterial endotoxin were screened. Specific antibodies against lipid A of bacterial endotoxin were enriched by 100 times after three rounds of panning with lipid A.Conclusions Three clones exhibited specific binding to lipid A is identified by direct and competitive ELISA methods. The succcess of isolating anti-lipid A proves the usefulness of phage display system in human McAb preparation. The result shows that we have got the recombinant phage antibody.

Bone marrow stromal antigen 2 (BST-2) is a kind of host restriction factor. Since it was discovered to be responsible for the defect in virion release of HIV-1 mutants lacking the accessory gene vpu in 2008, it was thought to mainly restrict the viruses by directly tethering viral particles at the plasma membrane. Recent reports suggest that BST-2 also can inhibit the the release of HBV particles, which are budding in the intracellular vesicles, expanding the antiviral spectrum of BST-2. Futhermore, the machanism that BST-2 used to restrict HBV release in multivesicular bodies (MVBs) is similar to that used to restrict HIV at the plasma membrane. However, HBV have evolved strategies to antagonize the antiviral action of BST-2. There are two different opinions about the antagonist. One is HBV inactivated BST-2 by HBx requiring a hepatocyte-specific environment. Another thought envelope protein HBs counteract the antiviral action of BST-2. In this review, we focus on the current advances in the anti-HBV activity of BST-2.

BACKGROUND:Long-term use of corticosteroids (hereinafter referred to as hormone) after renal transplantation could obviously lead to adverse reactions. Immunosuppressive regimen with less and no hormone has been a hot focus in the study of renal transplantation al over the world. However, reduction or withdrawal of hormones has a certain risk. At present, there is no unified scheme. Because urine protein can be immediately detected after tubular injury, to monitor urine protein can find the renal dysfunction after transplantation in recipients undergoing renal transplantation, which can gain time for clinical therapy. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the influence of hormone (prednisone) removal on the occurrence of urine protein in recipients undergoing renal transplantation. METHODS:A total of 35 recipients undergoing renal transplantation after removal of prednisone received immunosuppressive regimen of cyclosporine A or tacrolimus+mycophenolate mofetil bivalent. Initial dose of prednisone was 30 mg/d, and then gradual y reduced by 5 mg per week, and withdrawn at 1 month after renal transplantation. There were 16 cases in cyclosporine A group and 19 cases in tacrolimus group. Urine protein was measured and quantified at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after renal transplantation and 3, 6 and 12 months after addition of prednisone in both groups. Simultaneously, serum creatinine, fasting glucose, body mass increases, the rate of acute rejection, infection, patient/graft survival at 2 years after renal transplantation and urine protein at 24 hours before and after adding hormone were recorded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:For the two groups, urineα1-microglobulin started to rise after 6 months of removal of prednisone. Urinary microalbumin, urinaryα1-microglobulin, and urinary transferrin ascended obviously at 12 months. Urinary protein was positive in five cases of cyclosporine A group and in three cases of tacrolimus group. At 24 months, urinary microalbumin, urinaryα1-microglobulin, urinary transferrin and urinary IgG ascended obviously. Urinary protein was positive in cyclosporine A group with 11 cases and in tacrolimus group with 10 cases. 24-hour urinary protein quantity was more than 1 g in every case. On this base, we made the patients to take more prednisone for 6 months, so urineα1-microglobulin and urinary microalbumin began to descend. Each group had one case of positive urinary protein turning to negative. Twelve months after the adjustment of the prednisone, urinary microalbumin, urinaryα1-microglobulin, and urinary transferrin descended respectively. Positive urinary protein turned into negative:in cyclosporine A group with two cases and in tacrolimus group with three cases. 24-hour urinary protein quantity was around 0.7 g. Two years after renal transplantation, serum creatinine and acute rejection rates were higher in the cyclosporine A group than in the tacrolimus group (P<0.05). No significant difference in fasting glucose, body mass increase, infections, and patient/graft survival was detectable between both groups. Results suggested that removal of prednisone greatly affected urine protein in recipients undergoing renal transplantation. In particular, at 2 years after renal transplantation, urinary microalbumin, urinaryα1-microglobulin, urinary transferrin and urinary IgG ascended obviously, and the security needs further research.

Objective To establish the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) mouse model induced by glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI),and explore the mechanism of GPI in RA.Methods Totally 36 DBA/1 mice were randomly divided into three groups:test group (injection GPI),positive group (injection of bovine collagen Ⅱ),and negative group (saline).The rates and changes of weight were observed.The score of the arthritis,the ankle histopathological changes and serum GPI content were detected.Results Toes swollen slightly,joint swelling,deformity and accompanied by block were appeared at 35th day in the test group.Compared to the control group,the rates and changes of weight in test group showed a significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The score of arthritis was showed by x ± s.Compared to the negative group,the test group and positive group were showed significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).A lot of lower synovial lining exudate macrophages,fibroblasts,and other inflammatory cells were increased in the test group.The GPI content in the test group [(0.39 ±0.11)μg/ml] was significantly higher than the negative group [(0.10± 0.06) μg/ml,P ＜ 0.05].Conclusions GPI could induce rheumatoid arthritis in mice.It provides the experimental basis to diagnose RA.

Objective To summarize the clinical manifestations,pathological character,diagnosis and treatment of aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM).Methods A computer-based online search of PubMed database and CHKD database was undertaken for literature about AAM published from all the relevant documents with the key words of aggressive angiomyxon.According to the condition 210 articles were analyzed.All the articles were analyzed about natural history,clinical manifestation,diagnosis,pathological character,treatment and prognosis of AAM.Results A total of 282 cases in well-documented articles had been reported,among which 64 were male and 218 were female,with male to female ratio of 1:3.4.The age of the patients from 1 to 83 years(mean 40.38 years).The most common sites were the perineum,genital tract and soft tissue in pelvic cavity in females and the scrotum,spermatic cord and groin in males.None of the cases could be accurately diagnosed as AAM preoperatively.The minimum diameter of the tumors was 1 cm,and the maximum was 60 cm.All the specimens showed typical pathological features of AAM as reported previously.Immunohistochemistry indicated that AAM tended to be strongly positive for vimentin,CD34,Desmin,estrogen receptor,progesterone receptor but mostly negative for S-100 and Ki-67 and Actin.The medical history was from 1 month to 20 years.The recurrence of the postoperative follow-up was 2 months to 20 years.The diagnosis depended on pathological examination.Conclusions AAM is a sort of unusual soft connective tissue tumor.It is a kind of unknown cause,slow progression,locally invasive,easy to recur after tumor resection.Long-term follow-up is quite necessary because of the high rate of local recurrence.
