Objective To explore the pathogenesis of renal damage induced by melamine and the characteristics of kidney damage in rats.Methods Twenty Wister rats were randomly divided into one control group fed with normal pet food and one exposure group fed with animal food mixed with melamine at 25 mg(/kg?d).After 4 weeks,biochemical indexes of blood were determined,histopathological examination was performed,and kidney/body weight was measured among rats.The kidney slices were observed using light microscopy of animal anatomy.Renal tissues from affected rats were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry.Kidney X-ray diffraction were performed to determine the existence of crystals Results After 4 weeks of melamine exposure,the rats showed polyuria,less activity,weight loss,increasing levels of serum creatinine,urea nitrogen,triglyceride.The appearance of kidney significantly changed.The diffuse distribution of the point and the flake crystal shadow were observed in kidney slices.Histopathological examination showed the existence of a large number of crystals in renal tubular,renal tubular epithelial damage.The analysis of high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry revealed that crystals were composed of melamine and cyanuric acid.Kidney X-ray diffraction revealed that crystals could be found in kidneys of rats.Conclusion Melamine can enter the body through the digestive tract and generate partially cyanuric acid through hydrolysis.Then cyanuric acid and melamine formed cocrystals in renal tubules leading to progressive tubular blockage,renal tubular epithelial damage,tubular reabsorption dysfunction,eventually renal failure.

Objective To investigate the correlation between TIP 30 and VEGF-C expression and clini-cophathological characteristics in resected small cell lung cancer ( SCLC) patients and to identify patients with in-creased risk of cancer recurrence and to provide a theoretical basis for the further clinical prevention of SCLC . Methods Sixty eight resected SCLC patients were included in this study .Paraffin-embedded specimens of pa-tients were used for the evaluation of TIP 30 and VEGF-C expression by immunohistochemistry .Results The expression of VEGF-C had positive correlation with lymph node metastasis .TIP30 expression was positively cor-related with VEGF-C expression.Patients with low TIP30 expression had shorter Overall survival (OS)and Dis-ease-Free survival(DFS)than those with high TIP30 expression.OS and DFS of the patients with VEGF -C-positive tumors were significantly lower than that of the patients with VEGF -C negative tumors .The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that low TIP 30 and high VEGF-C expression were independent markers of poor OS(P<0.01)in operable SCLC patients.Conclusion The expression of VEGF -C shows positive correlation with lymph node metastasis .Low TIP30 and high VEGF -C expression are independent prognostic markers of poor overall survival in resected SCLC patients .

Objective To understand the schedule and effectiveness of water-improving defluoridation projects comprehensively of control of fluorosis in drinking-water-borne endemic fluorosis areas in Shandong Province,and to provide a scientific basis for making strategies for prevention and control of the disease.Methods In accordance with the requirements of Shandong Provincial Survey Scheme for Implementation of Prevention and Control Measures of Endemic Fluorosis,the progress of water-improving defluoridation projects was investigated in Shandong Province.The types of water source,scale and operating conditions for water-improving defluoridation projects in 17 cities of the province were investigated.Water fluoride contents of the normal operating projects were detected by F-ion selective electrode.Results ① By the end of 2012,a total of 3 539 water-improving defluoridation projects were built that covered 9 856 fluorosis villages,113 counties,17 cities in the province,and the water-improving rate was 91.01% (9 856/10 830).The type of water source of water-improving project was mainly groundwater,accounted for 93.78% (3 319/3 539) of the total projects.As for the scale of the water-improving projects,small centralized water supply projects were the main projects,accounted for 92.96%(3 290/3 539) of the total projects.\)Of all the water-improving defluoridation projects,normal operating projects accounted for 89.12%(3 154/3 539),intermittent and scrapped projects accounted for 3.25%(115/3 539) and 7.63% (270/3 539),respectively.③Among normal operating projects,the number of projects with water fluoride content ≤ 1.20 mg/L was 1 925,accounted for 72.40%(1 925/2 659).The number of projects with water fluoride content > 1.20 mg/L was 734,accounted for 27.60% (734/2 659); among them water fluoride contents between 2.01-4.00 mg/L and > 4.00 mg/L were 233 and 65,respectively,and the highest water fluoride value was 9.71 mg/L.Conclusions The progress of water-improving projects in some cities (counties) of Shandong Province is still slow.Some of the water-improving projects can not be operated normally or have been scrapped,and water fluoride content has exceeded the standard seriously.So the prevention and control measures need to be further strengthened,funding should be increased,and the operating conditions and water quality of the water-improving defluoridation projects in Shandong need to be further improved.
