Objective To investigate the relationship of serum resistin and pancreatic necrosis in the patients with severe acute pancreatitis. Methods Twenty-eight patients with SAP admitted to our hospital from March 2008 to November 2008 were divided into two groups according to the CT scan imaging: necrotic group and non-necrotic group. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to test the serum resistin levels. An ROC curve was depicted to predict the pancreas necrosis. Results There were 21 patients in the non-necrotic group and 7 in the necrotic group, and there was no significant difference in terms of sex, age and baseline disease (P>0.05). The resitin levels ranged from 0.1730 ng/ml to 7.4923 ng/ml, with a mean (3.7102±1.6987) ng/ml. The area under the curve of resistin values was 0.884±0.108 (95%CI:0.672～1.097), asymptote signals 0.003, then it was calculated that P=0.003, which was>0.50. Conclusions The serum resistin may be of clinical value to predict the pancreatic necrosis.

Background: Resistin level is high in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), and resistin is expected to be a new marker for evaluating the severity of acute pancreatitis. Objective: To explore the influence of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy on serum resistin levels in SAP patients. Design, setting, participants and interventions: Twenty-eight SAP patients meeting inclusion criteria from Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University were included, and the patients were randomly divided into treatment group and placebo group. There were 13 patients in the treatment group and 15 patients in the placebo group. Patients in the treatment group were given traditional Chinese herbal medicine in addition to the conventional treatment. Patients in the placebo group were given placebo in addition to the conventional treatment. Main outcome measures: The serum resistin levels on admission, and days 1, 3, 5, and 7 after the admission were detected. Results: The serum resistin levels on admission in all the patients were higher than normal level, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). On days 1, 3, 5, and 7 after admission, the resistin levels in the treatment group were (3.29+/-1.66) mu g/L, (3.71+/-1.05) mu g/L, (3.08+/-1.47) mu g/L and (3.62+/-1.67) mu g/L, and in the control group (5.16+/-1.93) mu g/L, (5.07+/-1.53) mu g/L, (4.88+/-1.47) mu g/L and (5.12+/-1.48) mu g/L, respectively. The resistin levels were lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Serum resistin level in SAP patients can be decreased by integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine therapy.

Objective To investigate the method for isolating and identification exosomes from the HK-2 cells exposed to high oxalate.Methods HK-2 cells were cultured to serum-free culture medium and treated with oxalate at the concentration from 0 mmol/L to 10.00 mmol/L for 48 h.CCK-8 assays were performed to measure the cells proliferation.Combined the cell morphology,observed under inverted microscope with statistical analysis,we finally 2.00 mmol/L oxalic acid as the experimental concentration.The HK-2 cell was exposed to 2.00 mmol/L oxalate for 48 h.The supernatants were collected.Exosomes were isolated and purified from the supernatants by ultracentrifugation.Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to observe the morphology of isolated exosomes.Particle size of exosomes were detected with Nanosight technology.Western blot analysis was used to examine the experession of HSP70,CD63.Results CCK-8 assay showed that the cell viability in each group,including (100.0 ± 4.0) ％ in 0 mmol/L group;(97.7 ± 1.5)％ in the 0.25 mmol/L group;(97.3 ±2.1)％ in the 0.50 mmol/L group;(87.7 ± 2.1) ％ in the 1.00 mmol/L group;(76.0 ± 1.0) ％ in the 2.00 mmol/L group;(58.1 ± 2.6) ％ in the 4.00 mmol/L group;(52.7 ± 1.5) ％ in the 5.00 mmol/L group;(37.7 ± 3.2) ％ in the 8.00 mmol/L group;(31.3 ±2.0)％ in the 10.00 mmol/L group.The isolated exosomes demonstrated round or oval shape under TEM.The peak particle size was 56 nm,which the overall mean particle size was 87 nm.Those and particles with a diameter between 30-150 nm accounted for 91.2％.In this experiment,The expression of HSP70,CD63 could be detected in the isolated exosomes.However,only the expression of HSP70 could be detected in the HK-2 cells.Conclusions Under the treatment of 2 mmol/l oxalate for 48 hours,Ultracentrifugation can be used to isolate and purify exosomes efficiently from the HK-2 cells.This is helpful for further study of exosome as mediator of cell-to-cell communication.

Objective:To study the effect of Pterostilbene on endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis in human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2 cells) induced by oxalate.Methods:From January 2019 to January 2020, HK-2 cells were divided into a control group (cultured with normal medium), an oxalate group (cultured with a medium containing 4 mmol/L of oxalate), and an intervention group of Pterostilbene (containing 4 mmol/L of oxalate + Pterostilbene 5, 10, and 20 μmol/L mixed medium were cultured at the same time), and the following tests were performed after 12 hours of treatment. Pterostilbene (5, 10, and 20 μmol/L) intervention group for cell viability test, lactate dehydrogenase cytotoxicity test, reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide enzyme, total antioxidant capacity detection experiments to explore the degree of oxidative damage, and Western blotting experiments to explore the protein expression of ATF6, GRP78, DDIT3, caspase12, Clevead caspase 3/9; Pterostilbene (10 μmol/L) intervention group to detect mitochondrial membrane potential, caspase 3 enzyme activity, apoptosis rate, reactive oxygen detection to detect the apoptosis, reactive oxygen level, and qRT-PCR to detect ATF6, GRP78, DDIT3 of cells mRNA expression.Results:CCK-8 and lactate dehydrogenase toxicity test results showed that the cell activity of the oxalate group was significantly lower than that of the control group [(45.6±3.1)% vs. 100.0%, P<0.001]; the lactate dehydrogenase [(330.2±11.1)U/L vs. (2.6±6.7) U/L, P<0.001] of the oxalate group was higher than that of the control group increased obviously; the cell viability[ (57.2±1.7)%, (67.2±3.4)%, (78.9±1.8)%] of Pterostilbene intervention group (5, 10, 20 μmol/L) significantly increased compared with oxalate group ( P<0.05); lactate dehydrogenase [(288.1±4.3)U/L, (260.9±5.5)U, (202.7±10.2)U/L] in Pterostilbene intervention group (5, 10, 20 μmol/L ) was significantly lower than oxalate group ( P<0.05). The results of the five biochemical indexes of malondialdehyde, reduced glutathione, total superoxide dismutase, catalase, and total antioxidant capacity showed that the cell damage state was consistent with the experimental results of CCK-8 and lactate dehydrogenase. The active oxygen test results showed that the oxalate group had a significantly higher active oxygen level (76.3±4.9 vs. 6.2±1.7, P<0.01); the active oxygen level (39.5±5.4) of the Pterostilbene intervention group(10 μmol/L) was significantly lower than oxalate group ( P<0.01). The flow cytometry and caspase3 enzyme activity showed an increase in apoptosis rate and caspase3 activity in line with the trend of reactive oxygen levels. Mitochondrial membrane potential results showed that the oxalate group had a significantly lower mitochondrial membrane potential (0.76±0.15 vs. 7.84±0.26, P<0.01), and the mitochondrial membrane potential (2.26±0.27) of the Pterostilbene intervention group (10 μmol/L) was significantly higher than oxalate group( P<0.01). Western blot analysis showed that the relative expression of ATF6, DDIT3, GRP78, caspase12 and Cleaved caspase3/9 protein in the oxalate group was significantly higher than that in the control group. The relative expression of ATF6, DDIT3, GRP78, caspase12, Cleaved caspase3/9 protein in the Pterostilbene intervention group was significantly lower than that in the oxalate group ( P<0.05). qRT-PCR results showed that the mRNA expression trends of ATF6, DDIT3 and GRP78 in the three groups were consistent with the results of Western blotting. Conclusion:Pterostilbene can effectively inhibit the endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis of HK-2 cells induced by oxalate.

The formation mechanism of kidney stones is complex. It is generally recognized that abnormal urine conditions or renal tubular epithelial cell damage, together with other factors cause the formation of renal papillary subepithelial calcium plaques (Randall’s plaques) or stone crystals that block the renal tubules (Randall’s plugs), and then oversaturated crystals gathering on Randall's plaque or plug and forming stones. However, there are many pathophysiological changes and manifestations, such as renal papillary anchoring stones, renal papillary crypts, renal papillary tip erosion, and exogenous renal papilla Renal papillary lesions, which may be an early manifestations before the formation of kidney stones. The study of renal papillary calcium plaque is very important for the pathogenesis of kidney stones, as well as the prevention and treatment of patients with stones. By focusing on the development process of Randall plaque theory, the formation and transformation mechanism of Randall plaque, as well as the manifestations and clinical treatment of the above mentioned different types of renal papillary calcium plaque lesions, this article reviewed three aspects of stone formation, including Randall’s plaque, renal papillary lesions with stones, and renal papillary lesions related to stone.

Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is an idiopathic necrosis of the femoral head in childhood, the deformities of the femoral head occurring in the progress of disease could result in osteoarthritis. Treatment can be surgical or nonsurgical, but the timing and indications remain unclear. Understanding of the prognostic factors of LCPD is helpful to predict the outcome and guide the clinical management. This study reviewed the literatures about the prognosis of LCPD since 2000, the prognostic factors were summarized from three categoriesas general factors, disease factors and intervention factors. The general factors were the characteristic information of patient that can be obtained at the first time clinically. The age of onset is the most definite prognostic factor, the younger the age, the better the prognosis, and 6-8 years is an important watershed. Disease factors refer to the disease characteristic information obtained through evaluation. The modified Waldenstr?m stage of the disease needs to be confirmed first, early treatment can ensure better prognosis. Then the severity was evaluated, including the involvement of necrosis, morphological changes and extrusion of the femoral head. The more severe the disease, the worse the prognosis. Most predicters, such as Catterall grading and Herring lateral column typing, have to be used in late-stage of LCPD. The degree of femoral head perfusion evaluated in enhanced MRI or DWI-MRI is an early predictor of LCPD, but it is still in the preliminary exploratory. Intervention factors are the effects of different methods of treatment on prognosis, including the comparison of surgery or non-surgery, different non-surgical and different surgical methods. The determination of surgical or non-surgical treatment mainly depends on the age of onset and severity of disease, and the younger and milder cases tend to be non-surgical treatment, but the specific indications are still controversial.

The safety assessment of nanomaterials in food is essential for safeguarding supervision and maintaining public health. However, there are still no safety assessment procedures for nanomaterials established in national-level in China and no specific toxicology and safety assessment procedures about nanomaterials for food, too. These factors lead to restriction on food safety protection and supervision. Current methods of evaluating the safety of nanomaterials mainly rely on traditional toxicological assessment that are extrapolated based on animal experiment from high doses to low doses and from animals to humans. These uncertainties restrict the accuracy of safety assessment for nanomaterials and also limit the development of scientific and effective evaluation procedures and regulatory measures. Currently, the key issues need to be solved including exposure assessment and evaluation methods of nanomaterials in food and the established methods of the toxicity test for nanomaterials that are consistent with the objectives of toxicity test in the 21st century vision and strategy. In this article, we reviewed current administrative regulatory, situations, and existing issues of food nanomaterials either in China or some developed countries in order to provide a scientific basis in establishing safety assessment procedures for nanomaterials in food in the future.
