Objective To study the practicality and repeatability of B-mode ultrasonography on diagnosis and score of carotid atherosclerosis. Methods Ninety-nine B-mode ultrasonography pictures of carotid atherosclerosis were obtained from field investigation. According to the established standard(normal scored as 0, other scored as 1 - 7 by the severity), the 99 pictures were diagnosed and scored once together by three trained inexperienced members of the research team. Ten days later, these pictures were diagnosed and scored respectively, by the three members.The diagnostic results were analyzed with statistical methods to test the feasibility and repeatability of this set of diagnostic and scoring system. Results The joint diagnostic results by the three group members were regard as standard with scores 0 in 27 cases, 1 in 27 cases, 2 in 10 cases, 3 in 4 cases, 4 in 13 cases, 5 in 8 cases, 6 in 6 cases, and 7 in 4 cases. Independent diagnostic results by member A was 0 in 29 cases, 1 in 24 cases, 2 in 11 cases, 3 in 2 cases, 4 in 12 cases, 5 in 11 cases, 6 in 6 cases, and 7 in 4 cases. Independent diagnostic results by member B was 0 in 29 cases, 1 in 22 cases, 2 in 14 cases, 3 in 4 cases, 4 in 13 cases, 5 in 5 cases, 6 in 8 cases, and 7 in 4 cases. Independent diagnostic results by member C was 0 in 28 cases, 1 in 25 cases, 2 in 8 cases, 3 in 5 cases, 4 in 14 cases, 5 in 10 cases, 6 in 4 cases, and 7 in 5 cases. Comparison of the 4 diagnostic scores, the difference was not statistically significant(F = 0.019, P > 0.05). Joint diagnostic results of the three members were compared with the standard and correlation coefficient were 0.977,0.987,0.932, respectively(all P < 0.01 ). The correlation coefficient of diagnostic results of each member were 0.969,0.935,0.928, respectively (all P <0.01 ). Diagnostic results of each member were consistent with the standard and the compliance rate were 88.9% (88/99) ,90.9%(90/99) and 86.9%(86/99), respectively. Conclusions B-mode ultrasonography is a non-injure method for diagnosis of carotid atherosclerosis in epidemiology investigation. The method is easy to grasp and has a good repeatability.

Objective To investigate the renal expression of stem cell factor (SCF) in lupus nephritis (LN) and its correlation with disease activity and renal injury parameters. Methods Histochemical stain was used to examine all renal specimens (LN group n=34, chronic glomerulonephritis n=16, control group n=8). Hyhridization in situ and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of SCF and infiltration of mast cells, macrophages , α-SMA (+) cells in renal tissues of the two groups. SPS software was used for tissue of the control group. However, they increased markedly in lupus nephritis and CGN (t=6.03~14.25, P< 0.01). But there was no significant difference between LN and CGN in SCF and mast cells in renal interstitium. Positive correlation was observed among the expression of SCF and α-SMA and the number of mast cells and macrophages (r=0.47~0.84, P<0.01) at their corresponding locations. The expression of SCF and ot-SMA and the number of macruphages were positively correlated with renal pathological active index, chronic index, albuminuria and the injury of renal interstitium (r=0.34~0.93, P<0.05 or 0.01); meanwhile, it was negatively correlated with Ccr(r=-0.39~0.61, P<0.01). There was significant correlation between SCF, macrophages and anti-dsDNA antibody, complement C3 level, SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI). The number of mast cells in renal interstitium was positively correlated with chronic indexes and the injury of renal interstitium (r=-0.86, r=0.93, P<0.01) and negatively correlated with Ccr (r=-0.56, P<0.01), but not correlated with active index and albuminuria (r=0.27, r=0.23, P>0.05). Conclusion The expression of SCF is widespread in kidney, and it is markedly eorrelated with various kinds of inflammatory cells, renal inherent cells, renal function, and urine protein levels. SCF may be an critical participant in the initiation and progression of renal injuries in human lupus nephritis.

Objective:To investigate the role of TRPV5 and TRPV6 in intracellular calcium regulation and biological behaviors of SW480 colon cancer cells. Methods:qRT-PCR, Western blot, and immunocytochemistry were applied to determine the mRNA and protein ex-pression levels of TRPV5 and TRPV6 in SW480 colon cancer cell line upon treatment with TRPV5 and TRPV6 agonist, 1-25(OH)2D3, and inhibitor, CuCl2. The change of intracellular Ca2+level was examined with a confocal laser scanning microscope. Scratch test, MTT, and TUNEL assays were used to analyze the cell migration, proliferation, and apoptosis, respectively. Results:As an agonist of TRPV5 and TRPV6, 1-25(OH)2D3 significantly up-regulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of TRPV5 and TRPV6 in SW480 cell lines. On the other hand, CuCl2, being an inhibitor of TRPV5 and TRPV6, effectively down-regulated the TRPV5 and TRPV6 mRNA and protein expres-sion levels (P<0.05). The intracellular calcium concentration in SW480 cell line significantly increased upon treatment with 1-25 (OH)2D3, and significantly decreased with CuCl2 treatment (P<0.05). 1-25(OH)2D3 promoted cell proliferation and migration, and inhibit-ed apoptosis of SW480 cell in a time-and dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). However, CuCl2 significantly repressed cell proliferation and migration and induced apoptosis (P<0.05). Conclusion: TRPV5 and TRPV6 can affect the biological behaviors of colon cancer SW480 cells by regulating intracellular Ca2+level.
