Objective To investigate the characteristics and distribution of human eehinococcosis in Hobukesar Mongolian Autonomous County (HMAC) in Xinjiang. Methods Using cluster sampling methods, the 2 counties (Tiebukenwusa and Narenhebuke) in HMAC were chosen as focusing areas for investigation. A survey of human echinococcosis including questionnaire, serological test and abdominal ultrasonic scan was carried out. Results The prevalence of human echinococcosis was 9.0% (64/712) by ultrasound and surgical history, including 8.7% (62/712) for cystic eehinococcosis(CE), 0.3%(2/712) for alveolar echinococcosis(AE) and 15.6%(111/712) for total of serological positives in HMAC. CE prevalence rate of different occupations, age, family slaughtering livestock and drinking water source had significant differences(P<0.05). Herdsmen as the highest risk group showed a CE prevalence of the 13.4% (27/201) in comparison with other occupations. The ages between 20 to<40 year-old were at the highest risk stage with 12.8% incidence. But CE prevalence rate of different gender, ethnic and education groups had not significant differences(P>0.05). Conclusions HMAC could be considered as a high endemic human CE region in Xinjiang. The current study reported the main risk factors may include occupations, age difference and drinking water source.

Objective:To observe the effect of hyperbilirubinemia on glomerulus of rats, and to explore its dose-response and mechanism.Methods:Twenty-four adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into four groups according to the random number table method, with 6 rats in each group. Hyperbilirubinemia rat model was reproduced by intraperitoneal injection of bilirubin once every 12 hours for 4 times, at doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg in low, medium, and high dose bilirubin group (LB group, MB group, HB group), respectively. The rats in negative control group (NC group) were given the same solvent without bilirubin powder. Urine was collected 24 hours after administration, and total protein (TP) level was detected. Then the rats were sacrificed, the blood was collected by cardiac puncture, and the total bilirubin (TBil) and direct bilirubin (DBil) levels were measured by automatic biochemical analyzer. The renal tissue was collected and stained with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staine, the glomerular morphology was observed under light microscope, and the glomerular injury score was performed. Podocyte morphology was observed by transmission electron microscopy after uranium acetate and lead citrate double staining. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and content of malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined by colorimetric method. The expression level of podocyte specific marker Wilms tumor protein-1 (WT-1) was determined by Western blotting.Results:With the increase of bilirubin dose, the contents of 24-hour urine TP, blood TBil, blood DBil and MDA content in kidney tissue were gradually increased, and the SOD activity and WT-1 expression in kidney tissue were gradually decreased. The differences between LB group, MB group, HB group and NC group were statistically significant [24-hour urine TP (mg): 24.85±2.22, 52.57±3.66, 56.84±3.49 vs. 7.50±1.33; blood TBil (μmol/L): 37.75±2.19, 81.37±2.13, 125.13±9.96 vs. 5.53±0.41; blood DBil (μmol/L): 15.50±1.96, 37.88±1.05, 64.53±2.89 vs. 2.38±0.35; kidney MDA (μmol/g): 3.14±0.65, 5.01±0.28, 7.50±1.08 vs. 2.30±0.20; kidney SOD (kU/g): 95.91±10.43, 57.06±15.90, 37.12±11.72 vs. 113.91±12.16; kidney WT-1 protein (WT-1/GAPDH): 0.280±0.006, 0.239±0.006, 0.198±0.001 vs. 0.361±0.005; all P < 0.05]. It was shown under light microscope that uneven thickness of mesangial membrane and basement membrane of the glomerulus, and some of them were accompanied by hyperplasia and widening. The glomerular injury score increased with the increase in bilirubin dose. The differences between LB group, MB group, HB group and NC group were statistically significant (17.50±1.05, 25.00±1.41, 34.00±1.41 vs. 11.67±0.82, all P < 0.05). Transmission electron microscopy showed that with the increase of bilirubin dose, the damage of glomerular podocytes was aggravated. Conclusions:Hyperbilirubinemia induced damage to glomerulus in a dose-dependent manner. In the lethal dose range, the higher the dose, the stronger the damage, which might be related to the oxidative stress promoted by bilirubin and the damage of glomerular podocytes.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the role of leptin in neointimal formation and related mechanisms.
METHODSFemoral arterial injury was induced in wild-type (Wt, n = 10), leptin-deficient (Lep(-)/-, n = 12), and leptin receptor-deficient (LepR(-)/-, n = 10) mice. Leptin treatment studies (tail vein injection of adenovirus expressing murine leptin on the RSV promoter, ad-leptin) were performed on Lep(-)/- (n = 5) and LepR(-)/- (n = 4) mice. Intimal (I) and medial (M) areas were measured and the ratio of I/M was calculated. Smooth muscle cells were detected by smooth muscle alpha-actin staining using an alpha-actin monoclonal antibody. Cellular proliferation was analyzed with BrdU Staining Kit and the number of BrdU-positive cells was counted manually. Plasma leptin level was measured by ELISA.
RESULTSThe I/M ratio of Lep(-)/- and LepR(-)/- mice was significantly lower than that in Wt separately (Lep(-)/- vs. Wt = 0.80 +/- 0.14 vs. 1.50 +/- 0.22, P < 0.01; LepR(-)/- vs. Wt = 0.55 +/- 0.20 vs. 1.50 +/- 0.22, P < 0.05). Plasma leptin level was significantly increased in Lep(-)/- and LepR(-)/- mice post leptin treatment. I/M was significantly increased in Lep(-)/- mice receiving ad-leptin compared with untreated Lep(-)/- mice (P < 0.05), while I/M was similar between LepR(-)/- mice with and without ad-leptin treatment (P > 0.05). The changes on number of positive alpha-actin and BrdU stained smooth muscle cells were consistent with the neointimal formation findings in various groups.
CONCLUSIONSMice lacking leptin or the leptin receptor were protected from neointimal formation following vascular injury. Leptin treatment increased neointimal formation in Lep(-)/- but not in LepR(-)/- mice, suggesting leptin receptor activation and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation played a pivotal role on neointimal formation post-injury in this model, giving an evidence that high plasma leptin level is a risk factor for neointimal formation.

AIMGenetic diversity, relationship and molecular authentication of total 8 wild populations of Dendrobium officinale were investigated using RAPD markers.
METHODS10 random decamer primers were screened for Random Amplified Polymophic DNA (RAPD) fragments. A DNA molecular dendrogram was established based on cluster analysis by UPGMA (unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic average), and the relationship of the wild populations were analyzed, and all the wild populations were authenticated.
RESULTSA total of 439 loci with an average of 43.9 loci per primer and 54.9 loci per population were amplified from 8 wild populations by 10 effective primers. In the total 104 amplified bands, 95 were polymorphic, corresponding to 91.35% genetic polymorphism. The genetic distances were 0. 590 to 0. 727, with an average of 0. 686.
CONCLUSIONDistinct genetic differences and extensive genetic diversity were presented among the wild populations. RAPD markers were an informative and useful tool for the genetic diversity, evaluation and authentication of wild populations of Dendrobium officinale. Primer S412 could be used to authenticate 8 wild populations completely.
