1.ICAM-1 and renal ischmic-reperfusion injury
Basic & Clinical Medicine 2006;0(01):-
It has been well-documented that ICAM-1 implicates in pathophysiology of ischemic-reperfusion injury of the kidney.Renal injury after ischemia appears to be a consequence of tissue hypoxia not only from interrupted blood supply but also from the process of reperfusion which leads to an active inflammatory process.Infiltrating leukocytes are potential source of reactive oxygen species.Proteolytic enzymes and cytokines,which during reperfusion may play a detrimental role.It has been suggested that ICAM-1 plays a key role during leukocyte adhesion and recruitment to inflamed tissue.The goal of the review is to explore the effect and significance of ICAM-1 as well as its mechanism in renal ischemia-reperfunsion.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical efficacy of Shenyan kangfu tablet combined with benazepril in the treatment of chronic nephritis. METHODS: 160 chronic nephritis patients with healthy renal function were randomly divided into benazepril (ACEI) group and Shenyan kangfu tablet combined with benazepril group (combination group). 24 hour urinary protein, blood pressure and creatinine of 2 groups were determined before and after treatment. RESULTS: After 4 months of treatment, the total effective rates were 87.5% for combination group and 56.25% for ACEI group (P0.05). CONCLUSION: Shenyan kangfu tablet combined with benazepril can reduce proteinuria in patients with chronic nephritis,non-toxic side effect in short-term.

Objective To investigate the effects of losartan on aortic elasticity and remodeling in spontaneously hypertensive rats (spontaneously hypertensive rats SHR). Methods WKY (Wistar - Kyoto ) rats with normal blood pressure and 16 weeks spontaneously hypertensive rats were randomly divided into WKY control group, SHR control group, high dose losartan group (SHR + HL), low doses losartan group (SHR + LL). Each group has six animals which were given normal diet for 24 weeks. Losartan which was dissolved in 10 ml physiological saline was filling in stomach, other groups were filling with physiological saline. Tail arterial blood pressure, kidney tissues calcium concentration, renal small artery hydroxyproline content was measured and small arteries wall thickness of Glomerularwas detected, and the ratio of thickness and inner diameter (MT/LR) in kidney pathological were observed. Results The calcium concentration of SHR group in kidney tissues was [(18.42±2.34)μmol/g], kidney small artery hydroxyproline content was [(8.26±2.02)mg/g], which were greater than WKY group [(11.83±1.98)μmol/g,(5.16±0.98)mg/g] (t=3.116,3.258,P<0.05), but the two treatment groups were less than SHR group (t=2.946,P<0.05), the difference was significant. Small arteries wall thickness of Glomerular was [(5.25±1.13)μm], the ratio of thickness and inner diameter (MT/LR) was [(9.57±1.78)%], which were greater than WKY group[(4.03±0.16)μm ,(7.12±1.35)%](t=2.836,3.425,P<0.05), but the wall thickness of two treatment groups were [(7.64±1.29)%,(7.85±1.32)%], the two treatment groups were less than SHR group (t=3.512,3.648,P<0.05). Conclusions Losartanmay inhibit intracellular calcium overload, reduce fibrosis degree and improve renal arteriole resistance and reverse the renal arteriole reconstruction of SHR rats.

Objective To explore the role of TRAIL receptors expression on peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) in the apoptosis of PBMC,and the relation of the expression of TRAIL receptors with the severity of liver damage in chronic hepatitis B patients.Methods The expressions of DR4,DRS,DcR1 and DcR2 in 55 patients and 30 cases of control were assayed by RT-RCR and floweytometery.The relationship of the expression of TRAIL receptors with the severity of liver damage were analized.Results The level of DcR1 in the PBMC of chronic hepatitis B patients was much lower than that of control group (P<0.05).There was close relation between the expression of DcR1 and liver damage (P<0.05).The level of DcR1 was negatively correlated with ALT but positively correlated with serum albumin.Conclusion The expression level of DcR1 on PBMC in chronic hepatitis B patients was down-regulated,which may contribute to the increased apoptosis of PBMC in chronic B hepatitis patients.The expression of DcR1 can reflect the degree of liver injury in chronic hepatitis B patients to some degree.

In this paper, a novel electrochemiluminescent (ECL) detection approach was developed for highly sensitive detection of ECL inhibitors based on the ECL inhibition of Ru(bpy)32+/2-(Dibutylamino)ethanol (DBAE) system. A microfluidic ECL detection cell was fabricated to couple with the capillary electrophoresis system, the electrochemical system and the postcolumn injection system. Both Ru(bpy)32+ and DBAE solutions were injected directly to the working electrode surface by a micro-infusion system to obtain a high and stable ECL signal. The performance of this setup was demonstrated by the analysis of two typical ECL inhibitors, dopamine and epinephrine. Under the optimal conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) for dopamine and epinephrine was 50nM and 5nM respectively. The proposed method was also successfully used for the trace analysis of dopamine and epinephrine in human serum samples.

Objective:
This study aims to explore factors associated with parental mediation of children’s vision care and digital technology use.
Methods:
By using a probabilityproportionate sampling method, a total of 3 249 parents of junior primary school students completed the selfadministered questionnaire in second semester of 2018 from Taipei and Pingtung.
Results:
Parents had moderate scores in children’s vision care beliefs, selfefficacy and parental mediation. Children spent an average of 7 hours on digital technology use per week. Multiple regression analysis results showed that parents who had intact family, not providing children with personal digital technology devices, spent less time in digital technology devices, and had higher levels of vision care beliefs, higher mediation efficacy, and more cues to action were more likely to have higher levels of vision care mediation behaviors. Whereas children who were at senior grades, low household income, from nonintact families, owned personal digital technology devices, whose parents spent more time using digital technology devices and implementing low levels of parental mediation were more likely to spend more time using digital technology devices.
Conclusion
Schools and communities could provide more parental training and parentchild colearning opportunities to enhance parental mediation of children’s vision care behavior and reduce excessive digital technology use.
