BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s are likely to repair renal injury by differentiating into renal parenchymal cel s. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect and mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s in the renal repair after mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis. METHODS:Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into normal group, model group and treatment group (n=10 per group). Model group and treatment group were treated with tail vein injection of mouse anti-rat monoclonal antibody Thy1.1 to prepare mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis models. One week after modeling, rats in the treatment group were given 2×106 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s via the tail vein, and rats in the other two groups were given the same volume of normal saline. Two weeks after transplantation, urinary protein, urea nitrogen, creatinine levels were detected;hematoxylin-eosin staining was used for observing pathological changes of the renal tissue under microscope;and the expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 was detected by immunohistochemistry method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The levels of urinary protein, urea nitrogen and creatinine as wel as the expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 in the renal tissue arranged in descending order were listed as fol ows:model group>treatment group>control group, and there were significant differences among three groups (P<0.05). In the model group, diffuse glomerular hyperplasia was observed with the presence of increased extracel ular matrix, partial glomerular sclerosis, and interstitial infiltration of inflammatory cel s;in the treatment group, glomerular hyperplasia, mesangial proliferation and inflammatory cel infiltration were al mitigated compared with the model group. Therefore, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation may contribute to renal repair after mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis, by inhibiting overexpression of transforming growth factor beta 1 in the kidney.

Objective To investigate the effect of carteolol hydrochloride eye drops on 24-hour variation of intraocular pressure (IOP). Methods The 30 patients who had never used any anti-glaucoma eye drops were chosen, and their 24-hour variation of IOP (at 2:00 AM, 6:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 2:00 PM, 6:00 PM, 10:00 PM) were measured. Then carteolol hydrochloride eye drops were used twice a day (7:00 AM and 7:00 PM), 1-2 drops each time. Fifteen days later, their 24-h IOP was measured again and the data were analyzed. Results The average IOP at six monitoring points before treatment were (19.77±2.51) mm Hg, (19.52±2.34) mm Hg, (20.38±2.71) mm Hg, (20.07±3.65) mm Hg, (19.97±4.10) mm Hg and (19.97±4.31) mm Hg, the corresponding data after 15 days of treatment were (17.12±2.38) mm Hg, (17.42±2.60) mm Hg, (18.18±2.36) mm Hg, (18.02±3.77) mm Hg, (17.72±3.17) mm Hg and (17.35±3.40) mm Hg (t=11.68, P=0.000). The difference before and after treatment was (2.46±2.05) mm Hg during day and (2.17±1.88) mm Hg during night, and no significant difference was found between them. Conclusions Carteolol hydrochloride eye drops could significantly reduce the IOP, the decreased extent of 24-h IOP is stable.

Objective To observe the formation of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA)and the expression of dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 2 (DDAH-2) of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) stimulated by uric acid (UA), and to explore the role of ADMADDAH axis in the vascular endothelial dysfunction induced by uric acid. Methods HUVECs were cultured in M199 medium supplemented with 10% FBS. Cells were exposed to different concentrations of UA (0, 60, 120 mg/L) for 6 h and 24 h. Under different concentrations and times, the level of ADMA in cell suspension was detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique; the gene and protein expressions of DDAH-2 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting; the fluorescence intensity of intracellular 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (DCF) which represented the productions of ROS was detected by the flow cytometry (FCM). The activity of DDAH-2 in HUVCEs which were exposed to different concentrations of UA (0, 60, 120mg/L) or UA (120 mg/L) +NAC (10 mmol/L) for 24 h was estimated by directly measuring the amount of ADMA metabolized by the enzyme and the role of NAC in the activity was studied.Results The expression of ADMA induced by urid acid was dose-depent and higher at 24 h than that at 6 h in the same dosage (all P<0.05). The dosage and stimulation time of UA did not have any influence on the expression of intracellular DDAH-2 (all P>0.05). When HUVECs exposed to UA (120 mg/L) for 24 h, the production of intracellular ROS was significantly increased while the activity of DDAH-2 was decreasesd (all P<0.05) as compared to 60 mg/L stimulation. This effect could be inhibited by the intervention of anti-oxidant NAC. Conclusions The high UA stimulation on HUVECs can increase the expression of intracellular ROS and inhibit the activity of DDAH-2 which increases the concentration of ADMA by decreasing the degradation of ADMA as well as the formation of NO. DDAH-ADMA axis may participate in the vascular endothelial dysfunction induced by UA.

Objective To improve the management of dyspepsia by evaluating the potential role of pretreatment gastric histology as predictive factors on the symptomatic response after Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication in patients with functional dyspepsia (FD).Methods 240 FD patients with H. pylori infection out of 920 consecutive patients receiving gastroendoscopy due to dyspepsia were investigated, including 190 patients enrolled as the therapy group and administered with anti-H. pylori triple therapy. In addition, 50 patients were enrolled as the control group, in which omeprazole was an alternative to the triple therapy. The course of therapy in both groups was 7 days. Pretreatment gastric histology was evaluated by the updated Sydney system. C~ 13 urea breath test was performed to evaluate the H. pylori eradication results one month (both therapy group and control group) and six months (therapy group) after therapy. For each patient, the baseline, month 1 and month 6 symptom scores were assessed by a questionnaire of dyspepsia, including 12 symptom items of dyspepsia with scoring of severity. The relationship between pretreatment gastric histology and good symptom responses after H. pylori eradication was then analyzed.Results Of 35.3% and 42.6% patients with successful H. pylori eradication in the therapy group had a good symptomatic response one month and six months after the triple therapy respectively, higher than those from the patients who failed H. pylori eradication (month 1:35.3% vs 12.2%, P
