[Objective]To study the effect of Qingre Yiqi Tongluo(QRYQTL) preseription on proteinria in diabetic nephropathy(DN) rats by means of ob-servation on the expressions of fibroblast-specific protein 1(FSP1) and P-cadherin in in glomerulus in rats.[Methods]60 Sprague-Dawleg rats were divided into normal control group(N), Diabetic nephropathy model group(M), QRYQTL preseription treatment group(Q) and Irbesartan treatment group(I). DN model rats were prepared by intraperitoneal injection with STZ after unilateral nephrectomy. The rats were sacrificed after 12 weeks of the treatment. The creatinine clearance(Ccr),blood urea nitrogen(BUN) and 24h urinary protein(UPro) were tested. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to explore the expressions of P-cadherin and fsp1 in glomerulus.[Results] ①Compared with M group, the levels of 24-hour upro in Q group were significantly de-creased(P<0.01).The levels of Ccr and BUN in Q group were both lower than those of M group( P<0.05). ② Compared with M group, the expressions of P-cadherin in glomerulus in Q group were increased( P<0.01) and the expressions of FSP1 were obviously decreased( P<0.01). The expressions of FSP1 in Q group were decreased compared with that of I groups(P<0.05).[Conclusions]QRYQTL preseription weakened the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of podocyte by means of increasing the expression of P-cadherin and reducing the expression of FSP1, thereby decreased the Upro and protect the renal function.

[Objective]To investigate the mechanism of Qingre Yiqi Tongluo(QRYQTL) fang in treating the diabetic nephropathy. [Methods]60 Sprague-Dawleg rats were divided into normal control group(N), Diabetic nephropathy model group(M) (model rats were prepared by intraperitoneal injection with STZ after unilateral nephrectomy), then the model rats were assigned into model control group, QRYQTL fang treatment group(Q) and Irbesartan treatment group(I). After 12 weeks of the treatment, the contents of superoxide dismutase(SOD),catalase(CAT),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in renal tissue were examined by enzyme linked immunoassay(ELISA); the glomerular area(GA), mesangium area(MA),MA/GA, mean width of the podocyte foot processes(FPW) ,foot process fusion rate(FPFR) and average thickness of glomerular basement membrane(GBMT) were measured. [Results]Compared with N group, the contents of MDA in kidney homogenate and the GA,MA, FPW,FPFR,GBMT were markedly increased (P<0.01or P<0.05),the contents of SOD,CAT, GSH-Px and MA/GA were significantly decreased( P<0.01or P<0.05). QRYQTL fang reduced the level of MDA and decreased the GA, FPW, FPFR and GBMT(P<0.01or P<0.05). Compared with I group ,the QRYQTL fang was superior to Irbesartan in reducing the MDA, FPFR as wel as increasing the SOD,CAT(P<0.05).[ Conclusions]QRYQTL fang has a protective effect on the experimental diabec-tic nephropathy rats. The mechanism may be related to inhibiting oxidative stress, improving the body ’s antioxidant ability and al eviating the glomerular morphologic injury.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of fluoxetine (FLX) on the expressions of BDNF and Bcl-2 in the hippocampus, the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex of conditioned fear (CF) model mice. Forty eight mice were randomly divided into three groups, normal control group, CF stress group and FLX-pretreated CF group. The FLX-pretreated CF group was given FLX (10 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) for 7 days before CF stress. After CF stress model was established, all mice were given behavioral experiments to test whether FLX impaired or improved the auditory and contextual fear conditioning. Then mice were sacrificed. The expressions of BDNF and Bcl-2 were detected by Western blotting. The results showed that the freezing time of FLX-pretreated CF group was significantly lower than that of CF group; FLX pretreatment up-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 in the hippocampus at 1 d after CF stress (P < 0.001), but no significant differences was observed at 7 d; BDNF significantly increased in the hippocampus at 7 d (P < 0.001), but no differences at 1 d; the expressions of BDNF and Bcl-2 in the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex were of no obvious differences between CF group and FLX-pretreated CF group at 1 d or 7 d after CF stress. Parallel to these changes, pretreatment with FLX could affect histopathologic changes induced by CF stress. Furthermore, the results indicated that FLX pretreatment could protect against CF stress-induced neurological damage via the activation of BDNF and Bcl-2 in hippocampus.
