Objective:The purpose of this paper is to illustrate different diseases that cause this crazy-paving pattern and to correlate the thin-section CT findings with the histopathological findings. Methods: A retrospective review of the medical records of our radiological computed tomography database was performed from January 2010 until December 2012,searching for patients reported to have a crazy-paving pattern on a thin-section CT of the chest. In total, 83 patients with a crazy-paving pattern were retained and reviewed. Results:The crazy-paving pattern consists of interlobular septal and intralobular interstitial thickening superimposed on an area of ground-glass attenuation on thin-section CT scans. We identified 83 cases that presented with the crazy-paving pattern, inclould infection(bacterial infection n=6,viral infection n=16,fungal infection n=1,and mixed infection n=12); ARDS n=4; acute pulmonary oedema n=3; interstitial lung disease (UIP, NSIP) n=18; adenocarcinomas n=3; lymphangitis carcinomatosis n=3;lymphoma pulmonary infiltration n=2;radiation pneumonitis n=5;sarcoidosis n=1;alveolar proteinosis n=4;alveolar hemorrhage n=4; lipid pneumonia n=1. Conclusion: The crazy-paving pattern on thin-section CT is a non-specific signs, can be seen in infections, tumor, as well as some cryptogenetic diseases. Nevertheless, familiar with these common diseases, allows us to narrow the differential diagnosis, even prompted the diagnosis of certain diseases in the appropriate clinical setting.

Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2019;50(24):6038-6044
Objective: To investigate the protective effect of Schisandra chinensis extract on oxidative stress in db/db mice, and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods: Ten male 9-week-old db/m mice and ten homologous male db/db mice of the same age were randomly divided into normal control group (C + V group), S. chinensis extract control group (C + SE group), model group (DN + V group), and S. chinensis extract-treated group (DN + SE group), with five mice in each group. The S. chinensis extract control group and S. chinensis extract-treated group were respectively ig administrated with 5 mg/(kg•d) of S. chinensis extract for 6 weeks. The body weight, blood glucose and 24 h urine micro-albumin were recorded at 0, 3, and 6 weeks. After 6 weeks, the mice were sacrificed and their kidney tissue specimens were collected. The oxidative stress index of malondialdehyde (MDA) were examined by lipid peroxidation kit. The pathological changes of kidney tissues were observed by PAS staining. The expression of antioxidant factor Nrf2 and HO-1 protein of kidney tissue was detected by Western Blotting. The expression of Nrf2 and its downstream target genes of kidney tissue were detected by qRT-PCR. Results: Compared with the normal control group, the body weight, blood glucose and 24h urine micro-albumin of the model group were significantly increased and the MDA content were increased. Therefore, the renal tissue pathological damage aggravated, and the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1, as well as its downstream target genes were all down- regulated. (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). S. chinensis extract reduced blood glucose, 24 h urine micro-albumin and MDA level in diabetic nephropathy mice, improved renal pathological damage, and up-regulated Nrf2 and HO-1 and its downstream target gene expression. (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). Conclusion: S. chinensis extract has protective effect on oxidative stress injury in db/db mice, and its mechanism may be related to up-regulation of antioxidant factor Nrf2 and its downstream genes.

Objective To summarize the clinical data of renal transplants survived with graft function more than 10 years and the adverse events during this period, and to discuss the main strategies for the long-term survival Methods Survival rate of renal transplants simultaneously survived with graft function > 10 years and grafts was counted respectively in total 1003 renal transplant recipients at our hospital before Dec. 31,1998 retrospectively. Their relevant survival,adverse events and initial post-operative immunosuppressive regimens were recorded simultaneously.Results As of Dec. 31, 2008, the 10-year survival rate of recipients was 62. 7% (629/1003), and recipients with graft function accounted for 85. 37 % (537/629). Of them, 94. 75 % (596/629) recipients received cyclosporine A (CsA) -based immunosuppression plus other antiproliferative immunosuppressive agents. Post-transplantation adverse events included coronary heart diseases in 57 cases (9. 06 %), liver damage in 32 cases (5. 09 %), malignancy in 29 cases (4. 61% ), diabetic mellitus in 25 cases (3. 97 %), apoplexy in 16 cases (2. 54 %), severe bone marrow depression in 14 cases (2. 23 %), femur head necrosis in 7 cases (1.11%), lower-extremity thrombosis in 3 cases (0. 48 %), sudden deafness in 2 cases (0. 32 %). There were 690 survival patients and 49 deaths including 19 (38. 78 %) due to cardiocerebral vascular accidents, 10 (20. 41%) due to malignancy, 9 (18. 37 %) due to hepatic failure, 4 (8. 16 %) due to infection, 3 (6. 12 %) due to treatment abandonment, 2 (4. 08 %) unknown reasons and 2 (4. 08 %) accidental deaths. Conclusion Long-term survival after renal transplantation is associated with the primary medication of CsA as the main immunosuppressive regimen. The non-immunologic factors such as the prevention and cure of cardioeerebral vascular diseases and the early finding of liver functional abnormality and tumor are the main points focused during follow-up.

SUMOylation is an important post-translational modification of proteins. Similar to ubiquitylation, SUMOylation is the process that the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteins are specifically and covalently binding to lysine residues of substrate proteins. Through SUMOylation, the physiological functions and pathological processes of cells are well controlled and balanced, and its abnormal activation has been reported in various tumors. Therefore, SUMOylation has been a potential target for anti-tumor drug development. In this review, we summarize recent advances on development of inhibitors targeting SUMOylation pathway and their antitumor properties.
