Objective To investigate the ability of social cognition in patients with right temporal lobe infarction.Methods Fifteen patients with temporal lobe infarction (TLI) and 20 healthy controls (HC) were examined with the recognition of faux pas and reading the mind in the eyes tasks for assessing the ability of social cognition.Results The TLI group performed significantly worse when compared with the HC group (28.6 ± 6.1,36.4 ± 4.3 respectively) as revealed in the total faux pas-related scores (U =41.00,P ＜0.01).For the control question,there was no significant difference between the TLI group and the HC group (9.86 ±0.35,10.00 ± 0.00 ; U =130.00,P =0.097).In the reading the mind in the eyes task,patients with TLI performed worse than the HC group(17.13 ±6.41,29.75 ±2.07 respectively),and the difference had statistical significance (U =0.00,P ＜ 0.01).But there was no significant difference in gender recognition judgment (30.37 ± 1.16,31.35 ± 1.08 respectively; U =106.00,P =0.129).Conclusions The right temporal lobe involves in social cognition.Moreover,the right temporal lobe not only involves in the verbal related social cognitive processing,but also involves in the no-verbal related social cognitive processing.

Objective To investigate the expression and distribution of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in renal tissues of early stage chronic kidney disease (CKD),and to elucidate its potential role in renal lesion.Methods Eighty-two patients of early stage CKD (stage 1 and 2) diagnosed as glomerulonephritis (GN) with different pathologic types by renal biopsy in our department between 2009 and 2012 were enrolled in the study.Renal tissues of eight patients with mismatched HLA haplotype or the normal part of renal cancer were chosen as controls.Scr,BUN,serum calcium,phosphorus,PTH and 25(OH)VitD3 were measured.Creatinine clearance (Ccr) was calculated by Cockcroft-Gault (CG)formula.99mTc-DTPA clearance rate was used to detect GFR.Patients were divided into mild,moderate and severe groups according to the renal interstitial extent of inflammatory cells infiltration.Immunohistochemistry was used to observe the expression and distribution of PTH in renal tissues.Image-Pro Plus software was used to calculate A value of PTH in renal tissues and compare the extent of PTH expression.Results The levels of calcium,phosphorus,25(OH)VitD3 and PTH in peripheral blood from GN patients of CKD stage Ⅰ and 2 were normal.PTH had no correlation with the above indexes.PTH expression could be seen in renal tissues of all the GN patients with different pathologic types,and it mainly located in renal tubular,only a few in glomeruli and interstitium.The expression of PTH in renal tissues of GN increased compared with the controls (P ＜ 0.01).Furthermore,PTH expression elevated with the increase of inflammatory cells infiltration in interstitium.However the expression of PTH was not significantly different among different pathologic types of GN.Conclusions In the early stage CKD,PTH expression in patients of GN increases,which occurs earlier as compared to PTH elevation in peripheral blood and the imbalance of minerals and bone metabolism.The intensity of PTH expression is associated with the local inflammation.

AIM:To compare the mutant prevention concentration(MPC)of linezolid and vancomycin against methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)and study the correlation between minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC)and MPC.METHODS:MICs and MPCs of two drugs against 35 MRSA clinical stains were determined by agar plates dilution method.The correlations between MIC and MPC were determined by linear regression.The ability to restrict the resistance was evaluated according the pharmacokinetics of two drugs.RESULTS:The MPCs of two drugs against MRSA were 16 and 8 ?g/mL and the MPC/MIC was 8.MPCs and MICs correlated poorly(R2 were 0.32 and 0.008,respectively).According to pharmacokinetics of two drugs,the concentration of linezolid was inside the MSW(mutant selective window)for the entire dosage interval,while the concentration of vancomycin exceeded the MPC for the most dosage interval.CONCLUSION:The capacity of vancomycin for restricting the selection of MRSA resistant mutants is stronger than that of linezolid.There is low correlation between MPC and MIC.

Objective To identify and investigate B(A)02 allele in a patient. Methods Serological tests were performed with standard serological methods in a patient with B(A)02 allele. DNA sequences of all seven exons and exon-intron boundaries of ABO gene were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), direct DNA sequencing and sequencing after gene cloning. In order to analyze the allele, PyMOL software was used to establish 3D model of Glycosyltransferases B (GTB). Results The serological results showed the characteristics of B(A) phenotype. DNA analysis revealed that ABO gene of the individual was heterozygous of B(A)02/O01 allele. 700C>G mutation was identified in B101 allele, which resulted in the amino acid substitution P234A in GTB. Through the analysis of the 3D structure of GTB, it was speculated that the P234A replacement affected the intermolecular forces of the 234 amino acid and Met-266, thus changed the conformation of the donor-binding pocket of GTB,that made GTB capable of recognizing and tranferring the GalNac to the H antigen, which can lead to the formation of the weak A antigen on membrane of red blood cells. Conclusion The P234A replacement can affect the spatial conformation of the specific recognition region conformed by Met-266 and Ala-268 residues, which leads to the antigenicity change of the ABO blood group.

BACKGROUND: Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) has very strong regulative effect on the differentiation and proliferation of renal cells as well as the synthesis and degradation of extracellular matrix. Its abnormal expression plays a key role in the process of fibrous degeneration of various renal diseases including diabetic nephropathy.OBJECTIVE: To observe the protective effect ofjiedu tongluo baoshen gelatin capsule on renal disease in rats with diabetes mellitus and its effect on the expression of renal CTGF mRNA.DESIGN: A randomized controlled experiment taking animals as subjects.SETTING: Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Changchun College of Traditional Chinese Medicine; Department of Pathology, Institute of Regenerated Medical Sciences, Jilin University MATERIALS: Totally 46 Wistar rats, of clean degree, male and female in half, weighing 150 to 200 g, were used in the experiment. Jiedu tongluo baoshen gelatin capsule was provided by Preparation Room, Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Jilin Province (Batch No. 2002101, composed of Renshen, Huangqi, Shengdi, Gouqizi, Zhimuv Digupiv Huanglian,Zhenhua, Jinyinhua, Dahuang, Danshen, Yimucao and so on, 0.25 g/pill)and benazepril (Provided by Beijing Nuohua Pharmaceutical Company,Batch No. 01046) were used in the experiment.METHODS: This experiment was carried out in the Department of Pathology, Institute of Regenerated Medical Sciences, Jilin University from May 2002 to January 2003. ① Totally 46 Wistar rats used in the experiment were randomly divided into 4 groups: normal control group (n=10), model group (n=12), benazepril-treated group (n=12) and traditional Chinese medicine-treated group (n=12).Rats of normal control group were intraperitoneally injected of natrium citricum buffer solution of same volume; Rats of other groups were intraperitoneally injected of 50 mg/kg streptozotocin which was dissolved by 0.1 mol/L citric acid buffer solution before use(pH 4.2). Seventy-two hours after modeling, venous blood was collected from the tails to measure the levels of fasting blood glucose and urine glucose.Blood glucose ≥ 16.7 mmol/L and urine glucose over 卅 suggested diabetic models were successful. Rats of benazepril-treated group were performed intragastric administration of benazepril suspension of 15 mg/(kg·d);Rats of traditional Chinese medicine-treated grou p were performed intragastric administration ofjiedu tongluo baoshen gelatin capsule suspension of 5 g/(kg ·d); Rats of normal control group and model group were performed intragastric administration of the same volume of running water on each morning, once a day, 12 weeks in total. ② Levels of blood glucose,urea nitrogen, serum creatinine and urinary albumin excretion rate were measured 12 weeks after administration; Level of angiotensin Ⅱ of renal tissue was measured with radioimmunoassay; Levels of renal fibronectin and type Ⅳ collagen protein expression were measured with immunohistochemical method; Connective tissue growth factor gene expression of renal cortex was measured with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and renal histological observation was also performed. ③ Analysis of variance was used in the intergroup comparison.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Biochemical index of blood and urine,level of angiotensin Ⅱ of renal tissue, pathological morphology, expression of fibronectin and type Ⅳ rabbit anti-rat collagen protein and expression of connective tissue growth factor mRNARESULTS: Five, four and three rats died in the process of experiment respectively in model group, benazepril-treated group and traditional Chinese medicine-treated group, finally, 10,7,8 and 9 rats entered the stage of result analysis respectively in normal control group, model group, benazepril-treated group and traditional Chinese medicine-treated group. ① The ratio between body mass and renal mass was significantly higher in the model group than in the normal control group (P ＜ 0.05),but was significantly lower in the benazepril-treated group and traditional Chinese medicine-treated group than in the model group (P ＜ 0.01). ② Fasting blood glucose was significantly higher in the model group than in the normal control group (P ＜ 0.01),but was significantly lower in the traditional Chinese medicine-treated group than in the model group and benazepril-treated group (P ＜ 0.01). ③ Levels of urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, creatinine clearance, urinary albumin excretion rate and angiotensin Ⅱ of renal tissue were significantly higher in the model group than in the normal control group (P ＜ 0.01), but significantly lower in the benazepril-treated group and traditional Chinese medicine-treated group than in the model group (P ＜ 0.05-0.01 ). ④Pathomorphological change of renal tissue was very severe in the model group,but very mild in the benazepril-treated group and traditional Chinese medicine-treated group. ⑤Fibronectin and type Ⅳ rabbit anti-rat collagen protein expression were significantly higher in the model group than in the normal control group (P ＜ 0.01), those were significantly lower in the benazepril-treated group and traditional Chinese medicine-treated group than in the model group, but higher than normal control group (P ＜ 0.01). ⑥Expression of CTGF mRNA of renal cortex of model group was 2.65 times that of normal control group. Expression of CTGF mRNA of benazepriltreated group and traditional Chinese ine-treated group was decreased by 23.68% and 26.32%, respectively (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).CONCLUSION: Jiedu tongluo baoshen gelatin capsule has protective effect on diabetic nephropathy, which might be implemented by reducing the level of angiotensin Ⅱ of renal tissue and down-regulating the expression of CTGF mRNA of renal cortex of rats with diabetes mellitus, so as to reduce the deposition of extracellular matrix.

The cell survival rate and the chromosomal aberration induced by N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitriosoguanidine (MNNG), mitomycin C (MMC) and ethyl methanesuiphonate (EMS) in V79 cells and its ?-ray-sensitive mutants (irs5 and mil) were observed in this study. The concentrations of mutagens to determine the survival rate were arranged at 2.5~ 30 ?mol/L in MNNG, 1~20?mol/L in MMC and 2~ 16 ?mol/L in EMS, respectively. The cell survival rates and the cell clones of irs5 were higher than that of the V79 cells and irs11; and of irs11 were significantly lower than that of V79 cells and irs5. The result of IC50 of mutagens to determine the chromosomal aberration was similar to the cell survival rate. The type and frequency of chromosomal aberration induced by MNNG, MMC and EMS in irs5 was same as in V79 cell; and there was a dose-response relationship between them. The spontaneous aberration frequencies in irsS and V79 cells were lower than 4%, however, in irs11 was higher than 10%. Data suggests that the cellular biological characterization in irs5 is steady, and further study to certain irsS whether it will be a new mutant for the mutagenicity or carcinogenicity assay or not.
