Objective To explore the role of phospholipase A2 receptor 1 (PLA2R1) in the diagnosis,differential diagnosis and evaluation of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) in adult patients.Methods A total of 242 renal disease patients diagnosed by renal biopsy from March 2015 to January 2016 were enrolled,consisting of 90 IMN,20 secondary membranous nephropathy (SMN),82 IgA nephropathy (IgAN),30 minimal changed disease (MCD),16 focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and 4 membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN).Their clinical data including age,sex,serum creatinine (Scr),serum albumin and 24 h urinary protein were collected.Serum PLA2R1 was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.PLA2R and IgG subclasses in glomeruli were detected by indirect immunofluorescence assay.The positive rate of serum PLA2R1 among those groups and its correlation with clinical-pathological parameters were analyzed.Results Compared with IMN patients,SMN,MCD and FSGS patients were younger (all P ＜ 0.01); IgAN patients were younger and had higher serum albumin and lower 24 h proteinuria (all P ＜ 0.001); MPGN patients had higher Scr (all P ＜ 0.01).The positive rate of serum PLA2R1 was 75.6％ in IMN patients,while it was 0.0％ in non-IMN patients.The distribution between serum PLA2R1 and pathological diagnosis had difference (P ＜ 0.001),their positive coincidence rate was 100％,negative coincidence rate was 87.4％,total coincidence rate was 90.9％ and their consistency was well (Kappa=0.795,P ＜ 0.001).Among IgG subtype comparisons between IMN patients and SMN patients in the glomeruli,only moderate or more positive IgG4 had statistical differences (82.2％ vs 5.0％,P ＜ 0.001); the positive rate of glomerular PLA2R1 was 41.1％ in IMN patients,higher than 10.0％ in SMN patients (P=0.009); positive PLA2R1 with moderate or more positive IgG4 in glomeruli in IMN patients was more than that in SMN patients (40.0％ vs 0.0％,P ＜ 0.001),which could improve the diagnostic specificity of IMN.In IMN patients serum PLA2R1 and glomerular PLA2R1 had statistical differences (P＜0.001).Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that serum PLA2R1 of IMN patients positively correlated with 24 h proteinuria (r=0.315,P=0.002),negatively correlated with serum albumin (r=-0.228,P=0.030) and didn't correlate with Scr (r=0.199,P=0.059).Conclusions Serum PLA2R can be used as the specific indicator for diagnosis,differential diagnosis of IMN and to reflect the severity of IMN in patients.

Objective To observe whether bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can promote the repair of IgA nephropathy and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups which were MSCs injection group, normal saline(NS) infusion group and healthy control group. IgA nephropathy model was established by the improving method with BSA +SEB +CCl4 in former two groups. MSCs of SD rats were continuously cultured in vitro and identified with specific surface antigens by flow cytometry and osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation. MSCs were labeled with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) in vitro before transplanted. At 1st and 4th week after MSCs injection, the changes of body weight, urine protein, renal function, histopathology and IgA immunofluorescence were observed. MCP-1, TGF-β1 in urine were detected by ELISA. The expression of MCP-1, TGF-β1 in kidney were examined by RT-PCR. The cytokines and BrdU labeled MSCs were detected by immunohistochemistry to observe the disposition in kidney. Results At the end of the first week of MSCs transplantation, MSCs group urine protein (36.86±4.78) mg/24 h, serum creatinine (53.50±6.28) μmol/L, and the NS group urine protein (66.98±5.86) mg/24 h, serum creatinine (82.50±8.36) μmol/L, the differences between two groups were significant (P<0.05). At the same time, the content of MCP-1, TGF-β1 in urine and expression in renal tissue of MSCs group were obviously less than those of NS group (P <0.05). At the end of the 4th week, the body weight, histopatholngy, IgA immunofluorescence of MSCs group were remarkably improved as compared with those of NS group. The content of MCP-1, TGF-β1 in urine and expression in renal tissue, and renal pathological change in MSCs group had no significant differences as compared with those of healthy control group. As the time passed, the disposition of BrdU-labeled MSCs in kidney was taper. Conclusions MSCs injection contributes to renal repair in rat IgA nephropathy. The mechanism may partly depend on adjusting the excretion of cytokines in renal microenvironment and/or other functions rather than completely depend on their differentiation to renal cells.

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the effects and Numerical Rating Pain Scale (NRS) of using absorbable shanching satin rb-bFGF prepreg sheet and expansion hemostatic sponge together nasal packing in the control of epistaxis with blood disease, and compared it with traditional vaseline gauze. METHOD: Ninety-six blood disease patient with epistaxis were enrolled between January 2009 and February 2011, they were divided into two groups at random, and differently treated with absorbable shanching satin rb-bFGF prepreg sheet and the vaseline gauze nasal packing for haemostasis. Then haemostasis efficacy,the hemorrhage rate after nasal packing removed and host response, such as nasal pain and headache, which evaluated pain degrees against NRS, were all observed. RESULT: There was no significant difference between the two groups of the haemostatic effect. But the hemorrhage rate of treatment group was obviously lower than that of the control group after paching,in addition, host responses, such as nasal pain and headache, remarkably better than the control group, the difference had statistical significance. CONCLUSION It is indicate that absorbable shanching satin rb-bFGF prepreg sheet presents reliable hemostasis effect, good biocompatibility and compliance; the pain and headache caused by packing are superior to vaseline gauze. Moreover, this method avoids the direct touch of vaseline gauze with nasal mucosal wound, and reduce hemorrhage after packing. Absorbable shanching satin rb-bFGF prepreg sheet and expansion hemostatic sponge together is better to select the nasal packing material for blood disease patient with epistaxis.

The pathogenesis of the primary open angle glaucoma(POAG)has not been understood completely,but the genetic factors been generally considered as an important role in POAG's development.Maping the disease-causative gene by linkage analysis at POAG family that consistent with Mendelian feature of autosomal dominant inheritance,two POAG families located in Chongqing Zhongxian county were studied at the same time by the Da-Ping Hospital of the third Military Medical College and Human Molecular Biology and Genetics Laboratory of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital.The disease-causative gene for POAG at two families were mapped to chromosome 2p1S-p16 that is overlapped by the Glaucoma 1,openangle,H(GLC1H)locus for adult-onset POAG by Suriyapperuma SP,etc,in 2007.The locus was first found in Chinese,but age of patients were younger and patient's conditions more serious.Haplotype analysis in these two families demonstrated that they shared the same disease haplotype,suggesting they have inherited the mutation fiom a common founder.Even more exists OPTN and CYP1B1 gene mutation at family Li.It was possiblly related to their severity phenotype.

Objective To analyze the ultrasonographic features of fetal palate in the second and third trimester. Methods Two-dimensional ultrasound was performed in 1 885 fetuses during 21 to 36 gestational weeks of pregnancy, including 1 023 cases in 2nd trimester and 862 cases in 3nd trimester. The normal fetal palate ultrasound images were conifrmed by postnatal examination. In the ultrasound examination, fetal palate coronary plane was scanned through submandibular region, oral ifssure and prootic region;longitudinal plane was scanned through oral ifssure. The detection rate of completely and continuously displayed fetal palate was calculated. Results In prenatal ultrasonography, the normal fetal hard palate was shown as a bright band and the normal soft palate as a hypoechoic band in coronary section through fetal submandibular region, oral ifssure and prootic region. The detection rate was 76%(777/1 023)in 2nd trimester group and 53%(458/862) in 3rd trimester group. The normal fetal palate was shown as continuous camber echogenic band in longitudinal plane through oral ifssure. The detection rate was 49%(501/1 023) in 2nd trimester group and 13%(113/862) in 3rd trimester group. The detection rate was 94%(961/1 023) in 2nd trimester group and 56%(483/862) in 3rd trimester group by the combination of two scanning approaches. Conclusions There is usually an obvious gap between mandible gristles in 2nd trimester fetus. Fetal palate is accessible regardless of fetal head position by coronary scanning through submandibular region, oral ifssure and prootic region and longitudinal scanning through oral ifssure. These planes could display fetal palate well, and might be useful in detecting isolated secondary cleft palate. But these scanning approaches and planes might not suitable for routine screening due to operator dependence.

Objective To test the hypothesis that advanced glycosylation end products(AGEs) increase cellular inflammation in atherosclerotic plaques. Methods Fifty rabbits were randomly divided into five groups. Hypercholesterolemic (0.5% cholesterol in diet) rabbits received repeated intravenous injection of either AGEs modified rabbit serum albumin (AGEs-RSA ) (group A) or unmodified RSA (group B) for 10 weeks. Rabbits treated with either hypercholesterolemic diet (group C)or with a normal diet(group D) or with a normal diet, and intravenous injection of AGEs-RSA (group E) were served as controls. Aortas were harvested at the 10th week, and lipid deposition was quantitated by oil red 0 staining. Macrophage (RAM-11 positive cells) and T lymphocyte (CD43 positive cells) infiltration, smooth muscle cell(?-actin positive cells) migration and proliferation were determined by using immunohistochemical staining and image-analysis techniques. Results Atherosclerotic plaques could be found in animals fed with hypercholesterolemic diet.Lipid deposition in plaque was significantly higher in group A (71.86%?8.3%) than those in group B (53.76%?3.72%)and group C (56.67%?9.2%). Infiltrations of macrophage[ (23.1?8.5)/0.01 mm2]and T lymphocyte[ (15.1 ? 3.8)/0.01 mm2]as well as migration and proliferation of smooth muscle cell [ (19.2?5.7)/0,01 mm2] in atherosclerotic lesions were significantly increased in animals treated with hypercholesterolemic diet and received injection of AGEs-RSA (group A) when compared with group B [macrophage (14.4? 5.9)70.01 mm2; T lymphocyte (9.1?2.6)/0.01 mm2; smooth muscle cell (12.9?3.8)/0.01 mm2]and group C[macrophage (15.4?4.4)/0.01 mm2; T lymphocyte (10.5?2.2)/0.01 mm2, smooth muscle cell (13.8?3.9)/0.01 mm2]. Neither plaque nor a cellular inflammation was found in animals fed with normal diet (group D)and in those received repeated injections of AGEs-RSA (group E). Conclusion AGEs increase cellular inflammation in atherosclerotic plaques and may accelerate formation of atherosclerosis in AGEs associated diseases.

Objective:To explore the role of multiple mediating effects on scientific research creativity of nursing postgraduates.Methods:In the study, 127 nursing postgraduates from three affliated hospitals of Chongqing Medical University were selected by convenience sampling. The investigation scale included general information questionnaire, tutor support scale, nursing scientific research self-efficacy scale, autonomy motivation scale and scientific research creativity scale. The questionnaire of nursing postgraduates was collected through the Sojump platform, and the data of 127 postgraduates were effectively collected in strict accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The difference analysis and correlation analysis were carried out by SPSS.Results:The correlation analysis showed that nursing postgraduates' scientific research self-efficacy and autonomy motivation were significantly positively correlated with tutor support and scientific research creativity ( P<0.05). Multiple linear hierarchical regression analysis showed that nursing research self-efficacy and autonomy motivation played a partial mediating role between tutor support and scientific research creativity ( P<0.05), in which the mediating role explained 13.1% and 4.2% of the variation respectively. The structural equation model further verified the role of multiple mediating effects on the scientific research creativity of nursing postgraduates. Conclusion:The scientific research creativity of nursing postgraduates is closely related to tutor support, scientific research self-efficacy and autonomy motivation. Tutors can enhance nursing postgraduates' scientific research self-efficacy and autonomy motivation by improving the level of tutor support, so as to improve the scientific research creativity of postgraduates.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a representative probiotic. As the dominant flora in the human intestinal tract, LAB can regulate the balance of human intestinal flora and improve host health. The purpose of this study was to isolate and screen LAB that are well suited to the intestinal characteristics of the Chinese population, with excellent probiotics and high antibacterial activity. After 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) homology and phylogenetic tree analysis, potential probiotics were tested for their antibacterial activity, resistance to artificial gastrointestinal fluid and drugs, surface hydrophobicity, and safety. Three strains of LAB with acid resistance, bile salt resistance, epithelial cell adhesion, and no multidrug resistance were selected:
