1.Autoimmune in diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy
Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2017;25(3):281-284
Diabetes mellitus (DM ) was the third largest chronic disease in the world and the number of patients in China ranked first. Diabetic nephropathy (DN ) as one of the most serious complications of DM was the main cause of death in DM patients along with the incidence of DM gradually increasing. The complex pathogenic mechanism of DN was composed of many factors such as the disorder of glucose metabolism ,inflammation and immune response. Under the special environment of the DM , autoimmunity was an important factor for the occurrence and development of DN. Immune cells ,cytokines and autoantibodies influenced each other resulting in impairment of renal function and affected the progression of DN. Further research on the immune related factors in DN and DM has important value for the prevention and treatment of these diseases.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the penetration effects and mechanism of N-arginine chitosan (ACS). This novel transdermal enhancer with a mimetic structure of cell-penetration peptides was synthesized by introducing hydrophilic arginine groups to the amino-group on chitosan's side chain. The structure of ACS was confirmed by FT-IR, 1H NMR and element analysis. In addition, attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) was used to study the protein conformation and the water content of stratum corneum, and the result suggested that ACS can change the orderly arrangement of the molecules in the stratum corneum, making the stack structure of keratin become loose. And ACS can increase the water content of the stratum corneurn. Inverted fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry were used to examine penetration effect of ACS on Hacat cell. The result confirmed that the uptake of ACS was enhanced with increased substitution degree of arginine by 4-8 folds compared to chitosan. In vitro penetration studies on three electrical types of drugs were carried out using three model drugs of negatively charged aspirin, positively charged terazosin and neutral drug isosorbide mononitrate by the method of Franz diffusion cells. The results showed that ACS has obviously penetration of the negatively charged drug aspirin, and certain penetration of neutral drug issorbide mononitrate, but inhibition of positively charged terazosin. In vivo imaging technology research results show that the ACS can significantly enhance the fluorescence intensity of morin, which is the auto-fluorescence anionic drug. These obtained results suggested that ACS, as a promising transdermal enhancer, can change the structure of the keratinocytes and analog penetrating peptides promote absorption, but have certain selectivity for the drug.
