Objective To identify susceptible miRNAs for the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and the molecular targets of losartan treatment. Methods The 8-week age KKAy mice were divided into losartan treatment group (10 mg· kg-1· d-1) and non-treatment group,C57BL/6 mice were used as the control group.At age of 20 weeks,body weight,random blood glucose,urinary albumin and urinary creatinine were tested,and kidney morphology was observed.Glomeroli were separated by magnetic beads perfusion,and total RNA were extracted.MiRNAs expression profiles were analyzed by the Affymetrix GeneChip miRNAs arrays. Results At age of 20 weeks,KKAy mice developed higher body weight,higher blood glucose and higher urinary microalbumin creatinine ratio than C57BL/6 mice,and the glomerular basement membrane thickened,mesangial matrix widened.Losartan treatment markedly improved the level of urinary albumin creatinine ratio [(539.71±100.23) mg/g vs (728±177.19) mg/g,P<0.05)] and pathological lesion of KKAy mice.The miRNA array analysis showed that there were 22 miRNAs differentially expressed between KKAy non-treatment mice and C57BL/6 mice glomeruli at age of 20 weeks.Among them,10 miRNAs were up-regulated,and 12 miRNAs were down-regulated.The expression of 4 miRNAs was down-regulated in glumeruli of KKAy mice treated by losartan compared with that of non-treatment mice.The expressions of miRNA-503 and miRNA-181d were significantly up-regulated in the glumeruli of KKAy mice and inhibited by losartan treatment, Conclusion The expressions of miRNA-503 and miRNA-181d are significantly up-regulated in the glumeruli of KKAy mice and inhibited by losartan treatment,which may be new therapeutic targets of DN.

Objective To explore the impact of diagnosis related groups (DRGs) payment and drug zero plus on the management of intensive care medicine department. Methods The clinical data of patients in one year from 2016 to 2017 admitted into the Department of ICU in Liuzhou Worker's Hospital concerning their numbers of discharged patients, transferred patients, bed utilization rate, number of bed turnover, average length of stay of discharged patients, cure and improvement rates, admission and discharge diagnostic coincidence rate, 3-day definite diagnosis rate, clinicopathological diagnosis coincidence rate, rescue success rate, total income, drug proportion, consumable proportion, DRGs payment and settlement data, etc were retrospectively analyzed to explore the dual challenges, DRGs payment and drug zero plus, facing the department and how to respond and deal with them. Results In 2016 and 2017, the total incomes of the department of critical care medicine in our hospital were 42.107 0 million yuan and 41.371 3 million yuan respectively, and the medical insurance incomes were 15.03 million yuan and 16.69 million yuan respectively;in 2016 and 2017, 2 693 patients and 2 922 patients were admitted and treated respectively; 595 patients and 577 patients were discharged respectively, with 2 071 patients and 2 334 patients transferred respectively; the balances of the department were 15.48 million yuan and 29.11 million yuan, respectively. From July to December 2017, the medical insurance DRGs payment data suggested that the proportion of loss of the department be 7.02%. Accelerating the Grade 6 electronic medical records and informationization construction, adopting the severe disease information solution program and fine quality control management in the department of critical care medicine can reduce the cost of manpower. Conclusion Our future development direction in the Department of Intensive Care Medicine includes the following aspects: Open source and reduce expenditure, strictly control the proportions of drugs and consumables, improve the balance of the department, and actively respond and deal with the medical insurance DRGs payment.

Objective:To prepare 68Ga-fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI)-04, and evaluate its biodistribution and imaging characteristics in animals and healthy volunteers, in order to investigate the clinical translation potential. Methods:68Ga-FAPI-04 was synthesized by a manual method and its radiolabeling yield, radiochemical purity, and stability ( in vivo and in vitro) were analyzed. ICR mice ( n=16) were scarified at 5, 30, 60 and 120 min postinjection of 68Ga-FAPI-04 (1.11 MBq) to measure radioactive counts in main organs. The dynamic mircoPET imaging was acquired for 60 min on 3 ICR mice, and tumor imaging capabilities were examined with nude mice bearing HepG2 tumors. Furthermore, 2 healthy volunteers (1 male with age of 64 years, 1 female with age of 56 years) were recruited for the investigation of probe biodistribution in humans. A serial whole-body dynamic PET/CT scan was performed immediately following injection. Results:68Ga-FAPI-04 was synthesized within 20 min with the radiochemical yield of (68.7±4.0)% (decay corrected). The radiochemical purities of 68Ga-FAPI-04 were over 99% and the products were stable for 180 min in vitro and for 90 min in blood. 68Ga-FAPI-04 was mainly cleared through urinary tracts, while other organs only showed mild tracer accumulation. MicroPET imaging showed high uptake of 68Ga-FAPI-04 in the tumor tissue of mice, and the ratio of tumor/liver was 2.14±0.01 (35 min). The PET/CT imaging results of healthy volunteers revealed 68Ga-FAPI-04 could be quickly cleared. Conclusion:68Ga-FAPI-04 has many advantages for PET imaging, such as easy labeling, good stability, quick clearance and low background signals in the liver, which can be used as an attractive PET tracer for detection hepatocellular carcinoma.
