Objective:To analyze the podocalyxin (PCX) expression in the kidney and the number of urinary podocytes in different pathological grades of Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura nephritis (HSPN),and to determine whether the number of urinary podocytes reflects the renal damage in HSPN.Methods:Fifty-six children diagnosed with HSPN in our hospital were enrolled in the study and classified into 4 groups by renal pathology:grade Ⅱ (Ⅱa+Ⅱb) (n=10),grade Ⅲ (Ⅲa+Ⅲb) (n=21),grade Ⅳ (n=16),and grade Ⅴ (n=9).Four kidney autopsy specimens without histomorphologic lesions and 8 urine samples from healthy children served as controls.With immunofluorescence assay,the PCX expression in 4 normal renal tissues and in the renal tissues of the 56 HSPN children was detected and quantitatively analyzed.Positive rate and the number of urinary podocytes were detected in the 8 healthy children and 56 HSPN children.Results:In the renal tissues of the normal control group and grade Ⅱ (Ⅱa+Ⅱb) HSPN group,the PCX expression was complete.The percentage of the PCX positive area out of the total glomerular area in the renal tissues of 2 groups had no significant difference (P>0.05).In the renal tissues of grade Ⅲ (Ⅲa+Ⅲb),Ⅳ,and Ⅴ HSPN groups,the PCX expression showed various degrees of loss,decreasing in turn from grade Ⅱ (Ⅱa+Ⅱb),Ⅲ (Ⅲa+Ⅲb),Ⅳ to Ⅴ,with significant differences between each group (P<0.01).For HSPN with grade Ⅲ (Ⅲa+Ⅲb) or higher,positive PCX expression was found in the urine,suggesting the presence of enough podocytes in the urine.The percentage of fluorescence positive area out of the total glomerular area of PCX in the renal tissues was negatively correlated with the total number of urinary podocytes (r=-0.637,P<0.01).Conclusion:Podocyte injury plays a certain role in the pathological progression of HSPN.The urinary detection ofpodocytes can reflect the degrees of pathological damage in HSPN.

Aim To investigate the effect of the extract of Averrhoacarambola L.root (EACR)on renal func-tion in diabetic mice and its anti-oxidative action. Methods Diabetic mice were established by tail vein injection with 120 mg·kg-1 streptozotocin (STZ)and were divided into 5 groups:model control group,val-sartan control group,and low-,middle-,high-dose of EACR groups (300,600,1 200 mg·kg-1 ).And 10 normal mice consisted of normal control group.The fasting blood glucose (FBG)of mice was detected be-fore and after administration of drugs.After last admin-istration,the blood and urine samples were collected for creatinine (Cr),urea nitrogen (BUN),urine and 24 h urinary protein determination.The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD ),glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px)and malonaldehyde (MDA)content were determined using kits.HE staining was conducted to observe the pathological changes of kidney tissues. ELISA method was utilized to detect the contents of catalase (CAT)and reactive oxygen species (ROS ). The expressions of Cyto-C,AIF and caspase-3 proteins in kidney tissues were analyzed by Western blot.Re-sults Compared with model group,the serum bio-chemical indexes and 24 h urinary protein of valsartan and moderate-,high-dose of EACR groups were de-creased with statistical significance (P<0.05 ).After the treatment, the MDA content was decreased by EACR treatment,and SOD,GSH-Px and CAT activities were enhanced.Meanwhile the expressions of ROS, Cyto-C,AIF and caspase-3 were down-regulated.The pathological changes of kidney tissues were ameliorated by EACR through HE results.Conclusions The ex-tract of Averrhoacarambola L.root can decrease the se-rum levels of Cr and BUN,reduce the MDA and ROS contents in kidney tissue and enhance the activities of SOD,GSH-Px and CAT,down-regulate the expres-sions of Cyto-C,AIF and caspase-3 proteins in kidney tissues,elevate the anti-oxidative effect of kidney. Therefore,the renal function of diabetic mice is melio-rated.
