Objective To investigate the effect of Fushenjiangxianning on renal protein kinase C(PKC),renal vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),renal platelet-derived growth factor ?(PDGF-?),and renal protection in diabetic nephropathy(DN) rats.Methods The diabetic SD rats induced by STZ were divided into four groups: diabetic control group,Fushenjiangxianning group,Irbesartan group, and Fushenjiagxianning combined with Irbesartan group,and the normal control group as well.After the experimental rats in every group were respectively treated for 12 weeks by above intervention methods,the relative kidney weight,blood sugar,urea nitrogen(Bun),serum creatinine(Scr),and urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER) were detected by routine analysis methods,and PKC and VEGF in renal tissue were detected by immunohistochemical techniques,and PDGF-? in renal tissue was detected by Western blotting,and ultramicrostructure of kidney was observed by transmission electron microscope.ResultsThe expression of renal cortex PKC and VEGF was increased in diabetic rats.The ultramicrostructure of kidney was noticeably changed,and the blood sugar,UAER,BUN,Scr,relative kidney weight,and PDGF-? were significantly increased in diabetic rats.While the above indexes in Fushenjiangxianning group,Irbesartan group,and Fushenjiangxianning combined with Irbesartan group were significantly lower than those in diabetic control group(P

Objective To investigate the effect of Jieju Fushenning(JFN) on platelet-derived growth factor B(PDGF-B) and bone morphogenetic protein-7(BMP-7) expression in renal tissue of rats with diabetes mellitus(DM). Methods The diabetic SD rats induced by STZ were divided into four groups:model group,JJFSN group,irbesartan group and JFN combined with irbesartan group. Meanwhile,a normal control group was set up. The rats in each group received corresponding treatment for 12 weeks. The urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER) was detected by routine analysis method,and PDGF-B and BMP-7 expression in renal tissue were detected by immunohistochemical techniques. PDGF-B expression in renal tissue was detected by Western blot,and the ultrastructure of kidney was observed by transmission electron microscope. Results The expression of BMP-7 was decreased and PDGF-B expression was increased in renal cortex of the model group. PDGF-B expression was obviously decreased and BMP-7 expression was increased in JFN group,irbesartan group and JFN combined with irbesartan group compared with those in the model group(P

BACKGROUND: Currently,the research of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) construction mainly focuses on the surgical technique or graft selection. However,studies on vascular regeneration after construction are few,especially those on allograft construction. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on vascular regeneration of reconstructed PCL with femur-anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-tibia allograft in rabbits. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING: The factorial design experiment was performed at the Orthopedics Laboratory of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Weifang Medical College from March 2006 to September 2007. MATERIALS: Sixty-eight adult female Japanese white rabbits,weighing (3.3?0.1) kg,were adopted. Twenty-three of them were used to excide the femur-ACL-tibia complexes to establish the animal model of PCL reconstruction with allograft. METHODS: Forty-five rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups,15 rabbits in each group. In the control group,no additional treatments were applied. In the phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) group,0.2 mL of PBS was injected into the knee joint. In the VEGF group,30 ?g VEGF mixed with 0.2 mL PBS was injected into the knee joint. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The immunological rejection of allograft was observed after reconstruction. Five rabbits were randomly selected in each group at 3,6,12 weeks,respectively,for immunohistochemistry staining; and the microvessel density of the medio-one-third ligament part of allograft was evaluated with the Chalkley scoring method. RESULTS: Forty-five rabbits were involved in the result analysis. There were no hydrops articuli or aneretic cartilage when every rabbit’s knee joint was opened. The gross morphology of the grafts was similar to normal posterior cruciate ligament. Immunological rejection,such as degeneration,necrosis,dilapsus or defluxion was not appeared. Plenty of good vascular tissue in the arthrosis could be seen in the VEGF group,but could not be found in the control group or in the PBS group. The microvessel density score of the allograft in the VEGF group was higher than that in the control group and PBS group (P

Objective To evaluate the method and effect of double-bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction using bone-semitendinosus and gracilis tendons under arthroscope.Methods The data of 16 patients was reviewed,who had underwent arthroscopic PCL reconstruction using the bone-semitendinosus and gracilis tendons from March 2004 to March 2007.A special technique using trephine was allowed for the cylindrical bone plugs attached to the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons.The femoral double-tunnel and the tibial tunnel were prepared,and the adequate press-fit fixations of tendon grafts were ensured within them.Results All patients were followed up.Before operation,the mean Lysholm score was 57 points (43-65 points).While 12 months later after operation,the mean Lysholm score was 86 points (68-92 points).The excellent and good results were obtained in 87.5%.Conclusions Arthroscopic PCL reconstruction using bone-semitendinosns and gracilis tendons can effectively improve the stability of the knee joint.The key to achieve a good treatment is that precise positions of femoral and tibial tunnels in operation and systematic rehabilitation trainings after operation were performed.

Objective To investigate the effect of extracorporeal shock waves (ESWs) combined with expanding bone marrow autografts in treating nonunion of femoral shaft fractures with interlocking intramedullary nails.Methods Thirty patients with femoral shaft fractures which had not united were divided into an ESW group,an expanding bone marrow group,and a combined treatment group using a table of random numbers.Each group had 10 cases.In the ESW group,no expanding bone marrow was employed in fixing the intramedullary nails and ESW therapy was begun at day 14 after the operation.In the expanding bone marrow group,bone marrow was grafted around the broken ends of fractured bones.In the combined treatment group patients underwent both treatments.The conditions of the callus and the fracture lines in the 3 groups were separately evaluated using X-rays at the 4th,8th,12th and 16th week after the operation.Results At week 4,the average callus and fracture line scores in the combined treatment and expanding bone marrow groups were significantly better than those in the ESW group.At the 8th week after the operation,the average callus and fracture line scores in the combined treatment group were significantly higher than in the ESW group and expanding bone marrow groups.Later,the callus and fracture scores in all 3 groups continued to rise significantly.At the 12th and 16th week the scores in the combined treatment group were significantly better than those in the ESW group and the expanding bone marrow group,while the scores in the ESW group were significantly better than those in the expanding bone marrow group.The cure rates in the ESW,bone marrow and combined treatment groups were 60％,50％ and 100％ respectively at week 16.Conclusions The combined treatment was significantly more effective than either treatment alone.There was no significant difference in effectiveness between the ESW and expanding bone marrow treatments.ESW combined with expanding bone marrow autograft is an effective way to promote bone knitting in the treatment of nonunion of femoral shaft fractures with interlocking intramedullary nails.

Objective To detect levels of C?X?C chemokine receptor type 5 (CXCR5) and inducible costimulator(ICOS)in blister fluid of patients with bullous pemphigoid(BP), and to explore their significance in the pathogenesis of BP. Methods Blister fluid samples were collected from 15 patients with BP(experimental group)and 15 patients with second?degree burns(control group). Enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was performed to detect the levels of CXCR5 and ICOS in the 2 groups. Results The level of CXCR5 was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group(219 ± 145.31 vs. 147 ± 23.83 ng/L, t=4.577, P<0.05), while no significant difference in the ICOS level was observed between the 2 groups (30.18 ± 14.86 vs. 21.43 ± 5.32 ng/L, t = 1.628, P > 0.05). Conclusion The expression of CXCR5 may be associated with the occurrence of BP, but further researches are needed to determine the relationship between ICOS and the occurrence of BP.

Objective To evaluate the short-term and long-term effects in patients of carotid artery subtotal or complete occlusion after carotid endarterectomy ( CEA) using vascular ultrasound. Methods A total of 107 consecutive patients were diagnosed as carotid artery occlusive disease with DSA and treated with CEA at Beijing Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University from January 2005 to January 2014 were enrolled retrospectively. Sixty-three of them had subtotal occlusion ( the carotid artery stenosis rate 95% to 99%) and 44 had complete occlusion. The occurrence of perioperative complications of all patients was documented. The follow-up study used outpatient follow-up and telephone tracking. The patients of surgical recanalization were followed up with ultrasound at 1 week, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after procedure. The clinical prognosis, restenosis, vascular structure and hemodynamic changes of the patients after CEA were documented. Results (1) Of the 107 patients,86 (80. 4%) achieved recanalization after procedure and 21 (19. 6%) did not. The incidence of stroke and death was 4. 7% (5 cases) within 30 days after procedure,among them the incidence of subtotal occlusion group was 4. 8% ( n=3 cases) and the complete occlusion group was 4. 5% (2 cases). (2) Within one week after procedure,the peak systolic velocity ( PSV) ,end diastolic velocity ( EDV) ,and pulsatility index ( PI) of the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery in the recanalization patients increased significantly (120 ± 39 cm/s vs 60 ± 17 cm/s,50 ± 18 cm/s vs 33±11cm/s,and0.96±0.20vs0.67±0.14,respectively).Thereweresignificantdifferences(allP<0. 01). Carotid artery ultrasound showed that the local vessel diameters of the original lesions in the recanalization patients were widened as compared with preoperation (4. 4 ± 1. 1 and 3. 6 ± 1. 0 mm). There was significant difference (P<0. 01). (3) Sixty-nine patients with recanalization were followed up for 1 to 60 months( the median time was 12 months) . One to six months after procedure,the patency rate of the patients was 95. 6%(n=66),>6 to 12 months was 94. 2%(n=65),>12 to 24 months was 94. 2%(n=65),and more than 2 years was 91. 3%(n=63). Conclusion Vascular ultrasound can conduct short-term and long-term follow-up for carotid artery occlusive disease after CEA. The degree of blood flow improvement should be identified and restenosis should be found in time after procedure.

Objective To investigate the relationship between prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2) and peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) associated thrombosis in cervical cancer patients, and provide certain clinical basis of early prevention in peripherally inserted central catheter associated thrombosis in cervical cancer patients. Methods One hundred and forty cervical patients with PICC were enrolled in this study, and they were divided into thrombosis group (35 patients) and non-thrombosis group (105 patients). The level of F1+2 was examined using enzyme-linked immunoassay, and was analyzed according to the clinic features. Results The level of F1+2 was correlated with clinical stage (r = 0.640, P = 0.004);but was not correlated with age, type of tumor and concurrent radiochemotherapy (P>0.05). The level of F1+2 in thrombosis group was (520.343 ± 121.759) pmol/L, in non- thrombosis group was (388.361 ± 104.873) pmol/L, and there was significant difference (P =0.001). The multi-factors Logistic analysis showed that the level of F1+2 (OR=1.011, P=0.001) and age (OR = 21.025, P = 0.031) were independent risk factors for the PICC associated with thrombosis in cervical cancer. Conclusions The level of F1+2 is closely related with clinical stage and PICC associated thrombosis, and it is an independent risk factor for the PICC associated with thrombosis in cervical cancer.

Objective: To analyze the characteristics of the daily exercise load and the One Hour of Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA) per day among primary school students, so as to provide a reference for improving the quality of the physical activity of primary school students in school. Methods: A total of 223 students from an elementary school in Beijing from May to June of 2023, were selected by stratified random cluster sampling method. The Polar Verity Sense heart rate arm band was used to monitor and evaluate the daily exercise load heart rate according to different grades, gender and physical quality. Results: The average heart rate of primary school students in outdoor class, zero point sports, recess and indoor class was (130.01±13.11, 119.89± 16.02,109.96±8.11,96.81±7.89) times/min, respectively, and only 4.04% students met the standard of 1 hour MVPA daily. From the perspective of different grades, the MVPA time ratio of lower grade students in outdoor class, zero point sports and big break was 28.41%, 42.47% and 8.24%, that of middle grade students was 18.33%, 6.41% and 5.90%, and that of senior students was 45.91%, 3.88% and 11.43%. The number of students who achieved 1 hour daily MVPA was 5.41%, 0 and 6.67%. Time ratio of MVPA in outdoor classes, zero hour sports and big breaks accounted for 30.09%, 16.34% and 9.23% for boys, 31.70%, 16.24 % and 6.13% for girls, and the interval distribution of boys and girls who achieved MVPA for one hour per day was 5.88% and 2.86%.Time ratio of MVPA for students with excellent physical fitness were 33.19%, 21.76% and 8.25% in outdoor class, zero point sports and big break, while those with good physical fitness were 29.76%, 12.93% and 8.19%.A total of 21.78%, 5.99% and 4.80% of the students passed the physical fitness test, and the number of students with excellent, good and passed the physical fitness test who achieved the daily 1 hour MVPA was 5.88%, 3.77% and 0. Conclusion In the present study, elementary and middle school students time for in school physical activity was adequate, but there are problems of low loading intensity and insufficient time for MVPA. It is necessary to arrange targeted physical activity programs for students of different grades, genders and physical fitness levels to increase the daily exercise load of students in school.
