Objective To investigate the glucolipid metabolism in lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene knockout mice, and to explore the possible mechanisms of insulin resistance. Methods 16- and 40-week old LPL gene knockout heterozygous mice( LPL + / -) and wild type ( WT) C57 mice were selected and divided into 4 groups:16-week LPL+ / -(n=6), 16-week WT(n = 6), 40-week LPL+ / -(n = 6), and 40-week WT(n = 6) group. LPL activity of post-heparin serum was examined. Serum triglyceride( TG) and free fatty acid( FFA) were measuzed. Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test(IPGTT) in 4 groups of mice were performed. The glucose area under the curve (AUCG) and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance index and β-cell function index ( HOMA-IR, HOMA-β) were calculated to evaluate insulin sensitivity and the function of islet β-cells. Serum malondialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant capacity ( TAOC) levels were determined by means of colorimetric method. Using dihydroethidium( DHE) fluorescent staining method, reactive oxygen species ( ROS) levels in liver and skeletal muscle were determined. Results LPL activity levels of both 16- and 40-week LPL+ / - mice were significantly lower than that in WT mice of the same age. Serum TG and FFA of 40-week old LPL+ / - mice were significantly higher than those in WT mice of the same age(P<0. 05), and they were also higher than those of 16-week old LPL+ / - mice(P<0. 05). IPGTT showed that compared with WT mice, blood glucose level in LPL+ / - mice was significantly higher than that in WT group at 30 and 120 minute(P<0. 05), and fasting insulin and HOMA-IR were increased significantly(P<0. 05). Serum MDA of 40-week old LPL+ / - mice was evidently higher than that in WT mice by the same week(P<0. 05), while TAOC level was lower than that of WT mice (P<0. 05). ROS in skeletal muscle of 16-week old LPL+ /- mice was significantly increased. Meanwhile, ROS in both liver and skeletal muscle of 40-week old LPL+ / - mice was significantly higher than that in WT mice of the same age. Conclusion As time goes by, lipid and glucose disorders of LPL+ / - mice are aggravating, and insulin resistance develops evidently. Insulin resistance in LPL+ / -mice with dyslipidemia may be related to oxidative stress.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum retinol binding protein (RBP), stromal cell derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and renal function in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DKD).Methods:The patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) admitted to Yantai Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical College from October 2017 to October 2020 were prospectively selected, 438 patients were divided into simple T2DM group ( n=276)and DKD group( n=162) according to the presence or absence of DKD, according to the ratio of urinary albinin/creatinine (UACR) were divided into normal( n=25), microalbuminuria ( n=75) and macroalbuminuria group ( n=62), according to the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were divided into G1 stage ( n=28), G2 stage ( n=27), G3A + G3B stage ( n=35), G4 stage ( n=39)and G5 stages( n=33). The relationship between RBP, SDF-1 and renal function index UACR, serum uric acid (UA), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), β 2-microglobulin (β 2-MG) and serum creatinine (Scr) was analyzed. Measurement data of normal distribution were expressed as Mean± standard deviation ( Mean± SD). Independent sample t-test was used for comparison between two groups, and one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups.Chi-square test was used to compare the enumeration data between groups. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to analyze the discriminant value of RBP and SDF-1 for DKD. Pearson was used for correlation analysis among indicators. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of RBP. Results:In the DKD group, the duration of diabetes was longer, the levels of RBP, UACR, UA, BUN, β 2-MG, Scr were high, SDF-1 and eGFR were lower, with statistically significant differences compared with the simple T2DM group( P<0.05).The areas under the curve of RBP and SDF-1 to distinguish DKD were 0.903 and 0.868, and the optimal cut-off values was 70.71 mg/L and 5.69 ng/mL. With the increase of urinary albumin and clinical stage, the levels of RBP, UACR, UA, BUN, β 2-MG, Scr increased gradually, while SDF-1 and eGFR decreased gradually, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05).RBP was positively correlated with UACR, UA, BUN, β 2-MG and Scr in DKD patients ( r=0.764, 0.787, 0.693, 0.577, 0.801, P<0.000 1), and negatively correlated with EGFR ( r=-0.782, P<0.000 1). SDF-1 was negatively correlated with UACR, UA, BUN, β 2-MG and Scr ( r=-0.744, -0.794, -0.666, -0.605, -0.820, P<0.000 1), and positively correlated with EGFR ( r=0.767, P<0.000 1). The multiple linear regression equation was RBP=29.852+ 0.007UACR+ 0.101UA+ 0.497BUN+ 0.034Scr-0.083eGFR ( P<0.001). Conclusion:RBP and SDF-1 have certain discriminant value for DKD patients in T2DM population, and the degree of DKD renal function injury is positively correlated with RBP and negatively correlated with SDF-1, the increase of UACR, UA, BUN, Scr and the decrease of eGFR are risk factors for the increase of RBP.

Aim To study the effects of Free Anthra-quinone from Rhubarb (FAR)on myocardial CTGF and collagen expression and interstitial fibrosis in dia-betic rats.Methods The male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group (CON),diabetic cardiomy-opathy group (DCM) and FAR treatment group (FAR).Streptozocin was intraperitoneally injected in-to the animals in the latter 2 groups to induce diabetic rat model.The model was expected to be stable for 2 weeks before the treatment.At the end of the 8th week in treatment,fasting plasma glucose and heart mass in-dex were measured.Masson staining was used to ob-serve the myocardial fibrosis.RT-PCR was used to de-tect the mRNA levels of CTGF,procollagen type Ⅰand collagen type Ⅲ.Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the content of CTGF.ELISA was used to detect the depositions of collagen type I and collagen type Ⅲ. Results Compared with CON group,fasting plasma glucose,heart mass index,the degree of myocardial fibrosis,and the expressions of CTGF,collagen type I and collagen type Ⅲ in left ven-tricular myocardial tissue of DCM group were signifi-cantly increased. However, compared with DCM group,fasting plasma glucose,heart mass index,the degree of myocardial fibrosis,and the expressions of CTGF,collagen type I and collagen type Ⅲ in left ven-tricular myocardial tissue of FAR-treated rats were sig-nificantly decreased.Conclusion FAR retards the process of myocardial fibrosis in diabetic rats by down-regulating the expression of CTGF,reducing the syn-thesis and depositions of collagen type I and collagen type Ⅲ.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine on alveolar epithelial barrier function in rats with ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), and the role of protein kinase C (PKC).Methods:One hundred clean-grade male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 270-320 g, aged 4-5 months, were divided into 5 groups ( n=20 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), VILI group (group V), PKC inhibitor group (group B), dexmedetomidine group (group D), and dexmedetomidine plus PKC agonist group (DP group). The VILI model was developed by mechanical ventilation with a tidal volume of 40 ml/kg for 4 h in anesthetized animals.Group C breathed air autonomously for 4 h without mechanical ventilation.Group V was mechanically ventilated for 4 h. In group B, bisindolvlmaleimide I 0.12 mg/kg was injected intramuscularly 1 h before mechanical ventilation.In D and DP groups, dxmedetomidine 5.0 μg/kg was injected intravenously at 20 min before mechanical ventilation, and dexmedetomidine was intravenously infused at the rate of 5.0 μg·kg -1·h -1 during mechanical ventilation.In group DP, PKC agonist phorbol-12-myristic acid-13-acetate 15 μg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 30 min before mechanical ventilation.At 4 h of mechanical ventilation, oxygenation index (OI), lung permeability index (LPI) and wet/dry lung weight (W/D) ratio were measured, the pathological changes of lung tissues were observed, and lung injury was assessed and scored.The expression of PKC, occludin and ZO-1 protein was detected by Western blot, and the expression of PKC mRNA, occludin mRNA and ZO-1 mRNA was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results:Compared with group C, OI was significantly decreased, LPI, W/D ratio and lung injury score were increased, the expression of PKC protein and mRNA was up-regulated, and the expression of occludin and ZO-1 protein and mRNA was down-regulated in V and DP groups ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in B and D groups ( P>0.05). Compared with group V, OI was significantly increased, LPI, W/D ratio and lung injury score were decreased, the expression of PKC protein and mRNA was down-regulated, and the expression of occludin and ZO-1 protein and mRNA was up-regulated in B, D and DP groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group D, OI was significantly decreased, LPI, W/D ratio and lung injury score were increased, the expression of PKC protein and mRNA was up-regulated, and the expression of occludin and ZO-1 protein and mRNA was down-regulated in group DP ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Dexmedetomidine can reduce the damage to alveolar epithelial barrier function in rats with VILI, and the mechanism is related to inhibition of PKC activation and up-regulation of the expression of occludin and ZO-1.
