Objective To explore the mechanism of the reversibility of chronic cyclosporine (CsA) nephrotoxicity in rats after long-term drug withdrawal. Methods Chronic CsA nephrotoxicity was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by administering CsA(15 mg . kg-1. d-1) for 5 weeks,and then the effect of drug withdraw for 5 and 10 weeks was observed. Body weight,systolic blood pressure,and renal function were monitored. In addition,renal histopathology(arteriolopathy,ED-1-positive cells,and tubulointerstitial fibrosis) and expression of osteopontin(OPN) and transforming growth factor(TGF) -?1 mRNA was examined. Results Compared with the control rats,CsA-treated rats showed loss of body weight,deterioration in renal function and development of typical histopathology. All of these above parameters were significantly reversed,meanwhile,the upregulation of OPN and TGF-?1 mRNA expression decreased significantly at 5th and 10th week after CsA withdrawal. Of note,the decreased OPN and TGF-?1 mRNA expression was positively correlated with the reduction in the tubulointerstitial fibrosis score. Conclusion The established chronic CsA nephrotoxicity is reversible after long-term CsA discontinuation,and the mechanism may be associated with the down-regulation of OPN and TGF-?1 mRNA expression.

The contents about the central action mechanisms of needling Zusanli (ST 36) were sorted by summarizing the relevant literatures published in the past 10 years, and it was found that: by comparing acupuncture at Zusanli (ST 36), other acupoints or sham points, most studies showed that Zusanli (ST 36) had relatively specific characteristics in the brain function response; studies on the central action mechanisms of Zusanli (ST 36) were mainly focused on sequelae of cerebral apoplexy, pain, gastrointestinal diseases, weight loss and drug addiction withdrawal and so on; acupuncture manipulations, stimulation methods, individual differences, stimulation quantity, and stimulation duration, etc. could also induce different brain function responses; acupuncture at Zusanli (ST 36) had an after-working effect, also called long-term effect, but with poor repeatability. So, it was suggested that the future studies should focus on the factors that affect the clinical efficacies and experimental results, including the compatibility effects of the acupoints, reproducibility of research results, sample size, acupuncture methods, long-term effects and disease entities.

Objective To report the clinical results of one stage reconstruction of high-energyinjured limbs. Methods From January 2001 to July 2006,one stage reconstruction was done on 55patients suffered from massive limb trauma,severe open fractures or spoiled limbs caused by high energy.There included 16 patients with Gustilo Type-Ⅲ C fractures,with mangled extremity severity score (MESS)of(6.25 ±2.53)points.All patients were treated with transplantation of free flaps or pedicle skin flaps,fracture fixation,nerve reconstruction or functional reconstruction. Results All limbs were saved and all flaps were transplanted successfully.without protracted course to obtain soft tissue coverage.The hospitalization was mean 24 days(12-63 days)and follow-up ranged from 12 months to 50 months (averaged 23 months).Complications including wound infection,bone nonunion,necrosis and morbidity were significanfly less likely to appear than conventional ways and the ultimate functional results of the saved limbs were at least better than that of artificial ones. Conclusions In comparison with traditional methods,one stage reconstruction of severe high energy-injured limbs has advantages of easier justification of tissue structure,better match of donor and recipient blood vessels,easier operation design,shorter hospitalization and better functional recovery.Definitive wound closure with vascularised tissue transfer can facilitate local blood supply.decrease bone infection and hence promote bone healing.

Objective To investigate the perinatal outcome of fetus with increased nuchal translucency (NT) at first trimester.Methods The thickness of NT above 95th percentile of the fetuses with same crown-rump length (CRL) was set as the criteria of increased NT.The outcomes of fetuses with increased NT during early pregnancy from Jan.2008 to Dec.2009 in Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center were followed up.The information of ultrasound at second trimester,pregnant complications and delivery outcome were collected.All infants were followed up for 3 months after birth and were divided into four groups according to their different thickness of NT.The relationship between NT thickness and perinatal outcome were analyzed with single factor analysis of variance and multiple comparison method.Results Among the 178 cases we followed up,there were 2 spontaneous fetal losses and 19 terminations whose reasons were Down syndrome (n=6),severe a thalassemia (n =5),fetal malformations (n =7) and social factor (n =1).Among the 157newborns delivered,one was found with congenital heart disease.The rate of abnormal infants was 11.8％ (21/178) and the detection rate of abnormal infants was 9 5.2％ (20/21).Healthy living rate of fetus with NT thickness between 95th percentile and 2.9 mm was 96.1％ (122/127); 82.4％ (28/34) for those with NT thickness between 3.0 mm and 3.9 mm; and 35.3％ (6/17) when NT≥ 4.0 mm.Conclusions Increased NT might have close relationship with poor pregnant outcome.The thicker the NT,the lower the healthy living rate of the fetus.The pregnant outcome is very poor if NT≤4.0 mm.

Objective To explore the relationship between T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the Notch signaling pathway.Methods Human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia SupT1 cells were infected with the lentiviral vector made up specific Notch1-shRNA gene and nonspecific Notch1-shRNA gene.The inhibitive rate of SupT1 cells was detected by CCK-8.The rates of early apoptotic cells (Annexin V+/ 7-AAD-) and late apoptotic cells (Annexin V+/7-AAD+) were analyzed by flow cytometry and the expression levels of Notch1 receptor gene and downstream target genes were assessed by quantitative reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (QT-PCR).Results The cell inhibition rates of Notch1 interference group,control group and empty vector group at 96 h were 0.902±0.013,0,and 0.486±0.084,respectively,and it was increased obviously in Notch1 interference group (both P ＜ 0.05).The cell early apoptosis rates of the three groups were (15.27±0.31) ％,(5.57±0.25) ％,(5.80±0.20) ％,respectively.The cell early apoptosis rate of Notch1 interference group was increased obviously compared with the control group and empty vector group (both P ＜ 0.05).While the cell late apoptosis rates had no significant difference among the three groups (P ＞ 0.05).The mRNA expression levels of Notch1 receptor gene and its target genes (Hesl,c-myc,NF-κB) at 48 h,72 h and 96 h were higher than those in the control group and empty vector group (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The specificity of Notch1-shRNA can effectively decrease the Notch1 mRNA expression,and reduce the expression level of downstream target genes.Notch1 cut can inhibit the proliferation of SupT1 cells,and promote the early apoptosis.
