Chinese Journal of Practical Internal Medicine 2001;0(03):-
Objective The current study was to investigate the clinical and pathological features of macroscopic hematuria associated acute kideny injury (MH-AKI) in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and its associated prognostic factors.Methods We performed an analysis on the clinical and pathological features of biopsy-proven IgAN patients diagnosed during 2004 to August of 2007,who had experienced MH associated AKI.The patients enrolled in the study were followed up.The renal lesions were evaluated with Katafuchi pathological scores of IgAN.Results 5 patients with IgAN had experienced at least one episode of MH-AKI,accounting for 1.3% of IgAN diagnosed during the same period and 13.5% of IgAN patients with macroscopic hematuria.High proportion of tubules filled with red blood cell casts and tubular injury were demonstrated in all biopsy specimens.Renal function of 3 patients completely recovered within 14 days.One patient (patient 4) got quick recovery in the first month of the disease but completely recovered 418 days later.The other patients only had an incomplete recovery during the 20-month follow-up.The incompletely recovered one had relatively an older age,longer persistence of MH,more sclerotic glomeruli and a more severe tubule-interstitial damage.Conclusion AKI is commonly seen during episodes of MH in patients with IgAN.Not all patients with MH-AKI showed a complete recovery.Age,duration of MH,proportion of glomerular sclerosis and the severity of tubular necrosis might be the risk factors of an incomplete recovery of renal function.

Objective To establish real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RFQ-PCR) for measurement of the expression level of a proliferation-inducing ligand(APRIL)and its receptors in children with non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma(NHL).Met-hods Specific primers and TaqMan probes of APRIL and its receptors had been designed,and fluorescence of the PCR products were detected continuously during amplification.According to the standard curves created by plasmid DNA,the expression level of target genes in clinical samples had been determined using software,and these results were presented as the ratios of target genes′ mRNA to ?2 microg-luobulin(?2M)′s mRNA.Results The detection range of RFQ-PCR was between 101-109 ng/L,the coefficient of variation values for both intra-experimental and inter-experimental reproducibility ranged from 1.68% to 5.97% and 6.40% to 10.58%,respectively.The results from 22 samples showed that the expression level of APRIL,B cell maturation antigen(BCMA) and transmembrane activator and calcium modulator and cyclophilin ligand(TACI) in peripheral blood of NHL were significantly higher than those in normal children(P

Objective To explore the mechanism of endotoxemic injury in kidneys and protective effect of dexamethasone on renal cells.Methods Fifty-four eighteen-day Wistar rats were divided into control,endotoxemic(LPS)and dexamethasone groups randomly,18 rats in every group.Rats in control group were injected intraperitoneally with the same volume(0.1 mL)of 9 g/L sodium chloride as other two groups.All rats in LPS group were injected with a single bolus of LPS(4 mg/kg).The rats in dexamethasone group received LPS(4 mg/kg)and dexamethasone(5 mg/kg).Then they were sacrificed at 6,24 and 72 hours after injection.The ultrastructure was observed by electron microscope.Results In LPS group,glomerular basement membrane became thick and foot processes had coalescent partly,mitochondrial cristae became dissolved in proximal tubular endothelial cells and microvillus of distal tubular diminished at 6,24 hours after LPS injection.The morphological changes of apoptosis were found in the proximal tubular at 72 hours after LPS injection.These changes were in dexamethasone group.Conclusion Apoptosis participates in LPS injury of kidneys and dexamethasone have protective effect on injuried renal cells.

Objective To analyze the correlation between the expression of phosphoinositide-3 kinase,catalytic subunit beta (PIK3CB) and the clinicopathologic characteristics in gastric adenocarcinoma tissues.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to determine PIK3CB expression in human gastric adenocarcinoma tissues and matched adjacent tissues.The correlation between PIK3CB expression and the patients' clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis was statistically analyzed.Results PIK3CB is highly expressed in gastric adenocarcinoma tissues (positive rate 63.8%) compared with matched adjacent tissues (positive rate 45.7%) (x2 =9.139,P =0.003).PIK3CB expression is significantly correlated with tumor size (x2 =8.677,P =0.003),infiltration (x2 =9.306,P =0.025),and clinical stage (x2 =8.242,P =0.041) ; Level of PIK3CB expression has a significant impact on prognosis (x2 =25.644,P =0.000).Multivariate analyses showed that high PIK3CB expression is an independent poor prognostic factor for overall survival (HR =15.785,95% CI:1.943-7.805,P =0.000).Conclusions Upregulated PIK3CB is correlated with poor postoperative prognosis of gastric carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the effect of bioactive glass (BG) on the dentin bond strength and the microleakage of hybrid layer.
METHODS:
In the study, 30 dentin planes were prepared from the third molars with no caries and equally assigned to the control group, BG group, and sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP)-polyacrylic acid (PAA)-BG group (S-P-BG group), randomly. After etched with 35% phosphoric acid, the dentin planes of BG group were pretreated with 0.5 g/L BG, and the dentin planes of S-P-BG group were pretreated with 5% STMP, 5% PAA and 0.5 g/L BG. No additional pretreatment was done to the dentin planes of control group. Then the dentin planes were bonded using 3M Single Bond 2 adhesive to 3M Z350XT composite resin, and cut into 0.9 mm×0.9 mm column samples, which were stored at 37 ℃ artificial saliva (AS). After 24 hours, 1 month, and 3 months, the microtensile bond strength test was performed. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and LSD method. The morphology of the bond fracture interface was observed with scanning electron microscope. Other 27 teeth were collected and the enamel layer and roots cut off, with the pulp chamber exposed. 0.1% rhodamine B was added to the 3M Single Bond 2 adhesive, and then the adhesive was applied to complete the bonding procedures as above. The teeth were stored in 37 ℃ AS for 24 hours, 1 month, 3 months, and then 0.1% sodium fluorescein solution was placed in the chambers and stained for 1 hour. Confocal laser scanning microscopy was used to observe the interface morphology and microleakage of the hybrid layer.
RESULTS:
At the end of 24 hours and 1 month, there was no significant difference in the microtensile bond strength among the three groups (P>0.05). After 3 months of soaking, the S-P-BG group [(36.91±7.07) MPa] had significantly higher microtensile bond strength than the control group [(32.73±8.06) MPa] (P=0.026); For the control group and the BG group, the microtensile bond strength significantly decreased at the end of 3 months compared with 24 hours (control group: P=0.017, BG group: P=0.01); The microtensile bond strength of S-P-BG group af the end of 3 months had no significant difference in compared with 24 hours [(37.99±7.98) MPa] (P>0.05). Observation of the fracture surface at the 24 hours showed no obvious mineralization in all the three groups. After 1 and 3 months, mineral formation was observed in BG group and S-P-BG group, and no obvious collagen exposure was observed in S-P-BG group. Confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed no obvious differences in the morphology and quantity of the resin tag in the control group, BG group and S-P-BG group. At the end of 24 hours, leakage was found in all the three groups. The microleakage of the control group increased at the end of 3 months, while the microleakage of the BG and S-P-BG groups decreased.
CONCLUSION
BG pretreatment of dentin bonding interface can induce mineralization at the bonding interface and reduce the microleakage of the hybrid layer; pretreating the dentin bonding interface with STMP, PAA and BG may enhance the maintaining of the dentin bonding durability.
