Objective To detect the apoptosis and the intensity of proliferation in different types of renal pathology in children with lupus nephritis (LN), analyzed the relationship between apoptosis and proliferation in LN. Methods Twenty - seven children (aged 7-16 years old, 21 type IV and 6 type V ) with biopsy- proven LN and nine as controls were included in the study. Apoptosis was detected by in situ nick- end labeling techniques (TUNEL) in renal biopsy samples. Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the proliferating cells identified by proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and detect the expressions of proteins of apoptosis associated gene PDCD5 and Caspase - 3 in these patients. Results 1. Compared to type V LN, the patients with type IV LN had more apoptolic cells,more PCNA positive cells and higher ratios of PCNA/apoptosis (P/A) in glomeruli. 2. There were no difference in expression of PDCD5 in glomeruli in type IV LN compared with those in type V LN. Numbers of apoptotic cells were observed in glomeruli. The expression of Caspase- 3 in type IV LN increased in glomeruli compared with that in type V LN. Conclusions The up- regulation of mechanism of apoptosis in type IV LN was less than that of type V LN. Caspase- 3 participated in the apoptosis of glomeruli of LN, but PDCD5 did not play a role during apoptosis of glomeruli of LN or the effect of PDCD5 promoting apoptosis was depressed.

Objective To study the bioavailability and bioequivalence of erythromycin ethylsuccinate granules in healthy male volunteers.Methods In a randomized two-period crossover study,20 healthy male volunteers received single 500 mg test and reference formulations of erythromyein ethylsuccinate granules.The plasma concentrations of erythromycin were assayed by microbiological method.Results The parameters of test and reference preparations were as follows:T_(max)(0.86?0.22)and (0.80?0.13)h,C_(max)(2.13?0.64)and(2.16?0.61)mg/L,t_(1/2)(2.04?0.2)and(1.97?0.4)h,AUC_(0-t)(4.96?1.73)and(4.63?1.52)mg?h/L,respectively.There was no significant difference between the two preparations.The rela- tive bioavailahility of the test granules was(109.1?22.8)%.Conclusions The two preparations of erythromycin ethylsucci- nate granules are bioequivalent.

Objective To explore oropharyngeal swallowing disorders with videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS). Methods 16 patients with dysphagia accepted VFSS with 10 ml of thin barium meal (50% w/v), thick barium meal (270% w/v), biscuit coated with thick barium meal in single swallow. Their swallowing function was observed on the lateral and anterior/posterior planes, including: symmetry of pyriform sinuses, oral transit time, presence of pharyngeal delay, pharyngeal transit time, oral and pharyngeal residue, and presence of aspiration.Results 5 patients demonstrated oral swallowing disorder. 3 patients demonstrated pharyngeal swallowing disorders, that was pharyngeal delay which caused in aspiration after swallowing. 8 patients demonstrated oropharyngeal swallowing disorders, and 3 of them presented aspiration,2 patients were silent aspirators, 1 was aspiration before and 1 after swallowing. The aspiration time could not be judged from the videofluoroscopy in the other one. For 4 patients with aspiration, 3 were severe, with more than 25% of the bolus aspirated, and 1 aspirated less than 5%. Conclusion VFSS can be helpful to plan individual rehabilitation.

Andrographis paniculata from different parts and origins were analyzed by UPLC-PDA fingerprint to provide refererice for related preparation technology. Using the peak of andrographolide as reference, 27 common peaks were identified, and digitized UPLC-PDA fingerprints for 23 batches of andrographis paniculata were established in this research. Principal component analysis (PCA) was carried out after feature extraction. The contents of andrographolide, neoandrographolide, deoxyandrographolide, dehydroandrographolide were determined by external standard method. The Plackett-Burman design combined with pareto chart was used to analyze the factors influencing the robustness of the method. It was found that the medicinal part has a more remarkable influence on the quality of andrographis paniculata than the origin. The contents of the 4 lactones the differ greatly in the different parts of andrographis paniculata, and the pH of the mobile phase is an important factor that influenced the robustness of the method.

OBJECTIVETo improve the understanding of the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis (LN) by studying the relationship between apoptosis and proliferation in children with LN.

METHODSThirty-one children (23 girls, 8 boys, aged 6-16 years) with biopsy-proven LN (21 type IV, 6 type V, 2 type II and 2 type III) and nine controls were included in the study. Apoptosis was detected by in situ nick-end labeling techniques (TUNEL) in renal biopsy samples. Proliferation was shown by PCNA detection. Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the expressions of PCNA, PDCD5 and Caspase-3. The images of glomeruli (G) and renal tubuli (T) were selected randomly on each biopsy sample, respectively, and transferred into computer by SECOM video camera. The quantity of PDCD5 and Caspase-3 expressions were evaluated according to the average intensity of PDCD5 and Caspase-3.

RESULTS1. Compared to control group, the patients with LN had increased apoptotic cells (G: 0.14 +/- 0.09 vs. 0.86 +/- 0.26; T: 0.16 +/- 0.07 vs. 1.16 +/- 0.42; P < 0.01) and increased PCNA positive cells (G: 0.47 +/- 0.25 vs. 8.45 +/- 2.83; T: 1.32 +/- 0.15 vs. 13.73 +/- 3.54; P < 0.01) in glomeruli and renal tubuli. The high ratios of PCNA/apoptosis (P/A) were observed in glomeruli (3.37 +/- 1.93 vs. 10.01 +/- 2.96, P < 0.01) and tubuli (8.94 +/- 1.79 vs. 12.81 +/- 3.91, P < 0.05) in LN group. 2. There was no difference in expression of PDCD5 in glomeruli between LN children and controls (0.09 +/- 0.05 vs. 0.08 +/- 0.02, P > 0.05). The expression of PDCD5 in renal tubuli decreased significantly in LN children compared with controls (0.13 +/- 0.05 vs. 0.21 +/- 0.07, P < 0.01). 3. The expression of Caspase-3 in children with LN increased significantly in glomeruli and tubuli compared with that in controls (0.22 +/- 0.07 vs. 0.05 +/- 0.02; 0.08 +/- 0.03 vs. 0.05 +/- 0.01; P < 0.01). 4. The number of glomerular apoptotic cells showed a positive correlation with the expression of Caspase-3 (r = 0.718, P < 0.01), but no correlation with the expression of PDCD5 in all cases (r = 0.054, P > 0.05). The intensity of PDCD5 expression in glomeruli and renal tubuli showed no correlation with that of Caspase-3 expression in all cases (r = 0.061, P > 0.05, r = 0.049, P > 0.05). Stepwise multiple regression revealed that the number of apoptotic cells in renal tubuli correlated negatively with the intensity of PDCD5 expression, whereas correlated positively with intensity of Caspase-3 expression in all cases.

CONCLUSIONS1. Although the number of apoptotic cells in the kidney of LN was more than that in the kidney of control group, the apoptosis in the kidney of LN was relative insufficient compared with the proliferation. 2. Caspase-3 was involved in the apoptosis of glomeruli and renal tubuli of LN. 3. It was unclear if PDCD5 participated in the apoptosis of glomeruli of LN. While PDCD5 might participate the apoptosis of renal tubuli in LN.
