Objective To discuss the efficacy and safety of covered Cheatham-Platinum stent (CCPS) implantation in treating coarctation of the aorta (CoA).Methods The clinical data of 11 patients with CoA who had received CCPS implantation were retrospectively analyzed.Results Successful implantation of single CCPS was accomplished in all 11 patients.After the implantation,the diameter of coarctation site was immediately dilated from preoperative (4.76+0.89) mm to postoperative (12.86+0.90) mm (t=24.86,P＜0.001),and the average systolic blood pressure difference across the coarctation was immediately reduced from preoperative (38.55+10.02) mmHg to postoperative (9.82+6.60) mmHg,the difference was statistically significant (t=10.8,P＜0.001).The patients were followed up for 3-79 months,with a mean of (31.91±27.58) months.The clinical symptoms were relieved in all patients and the activity tolerance was obviously improved.No complications such as endoleak,acute injury of aortic wall,re-coarctation or re-stenosis,vascular injury of puncture site,or death occurred in all patients.Conclusion For the treatment of CoA,implantation of CCPS has excellent short-term and mid-term effect,meanwhile,this technique can effectively avoid complications such as aortic wall iniurv.(J Intervent Radiol.2017.26:211-214)

Objective To explore the protective effects of geranylgeranylacetone (GGA) on acute renal failure tats induced by isehemia reperfusion (IR) and the possible mechanism. Methods GGA (400 mg/kg) was administered to induce overexpression of heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) in the kidney of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. IR model was generated by temporary clamping the left renal artery for 45 minutes followed by right nephrectomy and 24 h reperfusion. A sham-operated group was used as normal control. 24 h after reperfnsion, rats were sacrificed. Blood was collected for measurement of serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen ( BUN ). Paraffin-embedded sections of the kidney were stained with PAS. Histological changes due to tubular damage were quantitated as tubular damage score. TUNEL assay was used to detect the apoptosis, and Western-blot was used to detect the expression of XIAP. Results After renal IR, the increased level of BUN and Scr, the tubular injury and the apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells were observed (P＜0.01). At the same time, the decreased level of XIAP was observed (P＜ 0.01). Compared with the control groups, the level of HSP72 expression was up-regulated in oral administration of GGA group (P＜0.05). The expression levels of BUN and serum creatinine were significantly decreased after IR injury in pre-conditioned rats with over-expression of HSP72 (P＜ 0.01 ). Kidney morphology was better preserved in GGA group. Rats with over-expression of HSP72 also revealed reduction of apoptotic cells by TUNEL stain and XIAP degradation by Western blot (P＜0.05). Conclusion GGA attenuates renal IR injury at least in part through inhibiting tubular cell apoptosis by decreasing XAIP degradation and restoring XIAP protein level.

A full-length cDNA sequence encoding for the precursor of a venom peptide (named BmKCT) with homology to chlorotoxin has been isolated from a cDNA library made from the venom glands of the Chinese Scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch. The sequence of BmKCT is similar (68 % identities) to that of chlorotoxin isolated from Leiurus quinquestriatus quinquestriatus. To understand the biological function of BmKCT, this peptide was expressed using pGEX expression system and purified using GST affinity column and gel filtration.Whole cell patch-clamping recording showed that BmKCT could significantly inhibit chloride currents of gliomas cells, and the inhibitory effect was reversible. These results suggested that BmKCT might belong to the class of short chain toxins blocking the chloride ion channels.

Objective To analyze the changes of clinical and pathological features in the patients of IgA nephropathy with anemia.Methods Four hundred and nine patients of IgA nephropathy diagnosed by renal biopsy were classified into two groups:IgA nephropathy with nonanemia (group 1) and IgA nephropathy with anemia (group 2).Changes were studied retrospectively between the groups.Results Serum hemoglobin level was correlated with the clinical parameters of IgA nephropathy.Companed to group 1,changes in group 2 were as followed:serum creatinine increased,eGFR decreased,proteinuria increased; the global sclerosis,segmental sclerosis,crescents and tubulointerstitial lesions worsened.The glomerular and tubulointerstitial lesions were negatively correlated with serum hemoglobin and eGFR,but positively correlated with serum uric acid and proteinuria (P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that anemia was an independent risk factor for the tubulointerstitial lesion.Conclusion Clinical feature and pathological damages in the patients of IgA nephropathy with anemia are more serious than those with non-anemia.

Objective: To investigate the status of iodine nutrition and prevalence of goiter among children at ages of 8 to 10 years in Zhejiang Province in 2021, so as to provide insights into the management of iodine deficiency in children. Methods : A total of 90 counties (districts) were sampled as field survey sites from 11 cities of Zhejiang Province using a multi-stage stratified random sampling method in 2021, and non-residential children at ages of 8 to 10 years in these sites were sampled as study subjects. Subjects' household edible salt samples and random urine samples were collected. The iodine content in salt and urinary iodine level were determined using the direct titration method and arsenic-cerium catalytic spectrophotometry for evaluation of iodine nutrition among children. In addition, the lateral lobe of the thyroid gland was measured using ultrasound, and the prevalence of goiter was estimated. Results: A total of 19 363 children were recruited, including 9 710 male children and 9 653 female children, with a male to female ratio of 1.01︰1, and there were 10 704 urban children (55.28%) and 8 659 rural children (44.72%), 9 149 children living in coastal areas (47.25%) and 10 214 children in inland regions (52.75%). The mean iodine content was (19.79±9.25) mg/kg in salt, and the coverage of qualified iodized salt (15 252) was 78.77%. The coverage of qualified iodized salt was significantly lower in urban children than in rural children (76.70% vs. 81.21%; χ2=68.301, P<0.001), and was lower in children living in coastal regions than in inland regions (68.05% vs. 88.27%; χ2=1 270.769, P<0.001). The median urinary iodine concentration was 195.1 μg/L, and the household iodine content in salt correlated positively with urinary iodine concentration in children (rs=0.383, P<0.001). There were 2 885 children with iodine deficiency (14.90%), 7 137 children with adequate iodine (36.86%), 5 414 children with excessive iodine intake (27.96%), and 3 927 children with iodine overdose (20.28%), and the distribution of iodine nutrition in children varied significantly in regions (χ2=283.277, P<0.001) and gender (χ2=126.349, P<0.001). The prevalence of goiter was 2.45% among 7 195 children receiving ultrasound examinations, and a higher prevalence rate of goiter was detected in urban children than in rural children (2.76% vs. 2.00%; χ2=3.962, P=0.047). Conclusions The overall urinary iodine nutrition was adequate among children at ages of 8 to 10 years in Zhejiang Province in 2021, and the prevalence of goiter in children fell within the threshold defined in the criteria of elimination of iodine deficiency. However, the supervision of the iodized salt quality remains to be improved and iodine deficiency control remains to be reinforced.

Objective To study the antitumor effects of exosomes derived from heat-shocked E.G7-OVA tumor cells in vivo. Methods Exosomes derived from E.G7-OVA tumor cells were isolated and purified by serial centrifugation and sucrose gradients ultracentrifugation. Exosomes from heat-shocked or non-heat-shocked E.G7-OVA tumor cells were named as Exo/HS and Exo correspondingly. Exosomes were viewed by electron microscopy. Protein components of exosomes were detected by Western blot. Exo, Exo/ HS or PBS were injected into mice before injection of E.G7-OVA tumor cells, and antitumor effects were ob-served in each group. Mouse model bearing E.G7-OVA tumor cells were established to examine immunother-apy effects of Exo or Exo/HS. Cytotoxity of spleen CTL were measured by LDH. Results Exosomes con-tained bi-layer membrane and their diameters are between 40 nm and 100 nm under electron microscopy. The Western blot results showed that HSC70, HSP70, HSP60, HSP90, MHC Ⅰ and OVA were present in both Exo and Exo/HS. However, Exo/HS contained more HSP70 and MHC Ⅰ than Exo. Protective antitu-mor immunity suggested that tumor-free survival (90 days) rate in Exo/HS vaccinated mice was significantly higher than those in Exo or PBS vaccinated mice (50%, 20%, 0%, P<0.01). Therapeutic antitumor effects showed that immunization by Exo/HS resulted in dramatically enhanced antitumor effects when com-pared to the Exo- or PBS-treated groups (P<0.01). CTL results showed that immunization with Exo/HS in-duced higher level of OVA-specific CTL responses as compared with those from Exo or PBS (P<0.01). Conclusion Exosomes derived heat-shocked E.G7-OVA tumor cells may be used as potent cancer vaccine.
