Journal of Medical Research 2006;0(09):-
Objective To detecte the changes of nephrin in adriamycin nephropathy rats, study the effects of mycophenolate mofetil on minimal change nephrotic syndrome, investigate its possible mechanism. Methods 18 SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group(CG, n=6), adriamycin model group(AG, n=6), MMF treated group(TG, n=6). Rats in MG and TG were given adriamycin 7.5mg/kg through vena caudalis. At the same time, an equal volume of normal saline was given to the rats in CG by the same method. The rats in TG received MMF 20mg/(kg?d) by daily gastric gavage from the second day. Urinary protein excretion of each rat were measured at the day before adriamycin injection,and the 14th day and the 28th day after adriamycin injection. Six rats of each group were killed at the 28th day. Serum urea nitrogen, creatinine, cholesterol, triglyceride and albumin were measured at the end of the study. Immunohistochemistry and western blot were used to examine the expression of nephrin. Results The urinary protein excretion of AG at 28th day was the highest. Serum albumin decreased markedly at the 14th day(p

Objective To explore the value of gastroendoscopy check-up early after non-surgical treatment of patients with gastroduodenal perfolation.Methods The patients suspected of perforated gastroduodenal ulcer on hospital admission underwent non-surgical treatment were enrolled.After cured clinically,performed gastroendoscopy at different time periods.Results Among 133 patients underwent gastrointestinal endoscopy,129 cases(97.0%)were diagnosed gastroduodenal ulcer,3 cases(2.3%)were diagnosed gastric carcinoma,1 case (0.8%)Was confirmed duodenal diverticulum,no compilcations occurred due to endoscopy.The 6 cases that had surgical indications had be implemented the early surgical treatment. Conclusions After non-surgical treatment of patient with gastroduodenal perforation,timely gsstroendoscopy can truly show pathologic changes with gastroduodenal perforation.So endoscopy is beneficial under condition appropriate time seleetion for confirmed the eliology of PGD,treatment promptly targeted etiology and understanding the mechanism healing the perforation as non-surgical treatment.

A new fluorimetric method was developed for the determi nation of ethanol in alcoholic beverage. The method is based on the principle that tetrasubstituted sulphonated aluminum phthalocyanine (AlS4Pc), a red-r egion fluorescent reagent, is induced to associate in the presence of cationic s urfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB), thus its fluorescence is quen ched, and then the aggregate is disaggregated by the a ddition of ethanol and the fluorescence is recovered. This method has a linear determination range of 0.5%~90.0%(V/V), the detection limit is 0.48%(V /V). The method has been used to determine real alcoholic beverage samples w ith satisfactory results.

Objective To investigate the role of intestinal immune dysfunction in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome(IBS) and to study the effects of Clostridium butylicum on the regulation of intestinal immune disorders.Methods A total of 50 male 6-week-old C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups,including the experimental group (n =20),the control group (n =20) and the Clostridium butylicum group(n =10).A mouse model of constipation-predominant IBS (C-IBS) was established by perfusing sodium butyrate solution(200 μl,concentration of 500 mmol/L) into the mouse colon twice a day for three consecutive days.The mice in control group were intrarectally perfused with normal saline enema (200 μl).Two hours before the perfusion of sodium butyrate into colon,the mice in Clostridium butylicum group were given Clostridium butylicum 500 μl(viable cell concentration of 1×109 CFU/ml) by oral gavage once a day for six days.The colorectal distention test(CRD) was carried out for evaluation of clinical parameters.HE staining of intestinal tissue section was performed for histopathological assessment of colonic mucosal inflammation.Intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) and lamina propria mononuclear cells (LPMCs) were isolated and analyzed by flow cytometry to evaluate the correlation between IBS and intestinal immune dysfunction/abnormal activation of intestinal immune cells in mouse model of C-IBS,and to assess the regulatory effects of Clostridium butylicum on the intestinal immune disorder.Results (1) Compared with the control group,the mice in experimental group showed a significant change in physiological parameters,histological structure of colon,inflammatory cells infiltration and low-grade inflammatory state.There was a significant increase in scores of CRD and a decrease in lowest sensory threshold (t=8.926 and t=6.103,both P<0.001) ; (2) There was a decrease in the numbers of DC in IELs (t =2.878 and t =3.086,both P<0.05),but an increase in the numbers of macrophage (t=3.191,P<0.05) and the memory T cells in mice with IBS (t=3.071,P<0.05) as compared with that in control group; (3)DCs were decreased (t=2.880 and t=2.664,both P<0.05),but memory T cells were increased (t =3.732 and 2.682,P<0.01 and P<0.05) in the LPMCs of mice in experimental group; (4)There was no significant difference in the physiological index between the mice in control group and the Clostridium butylicum group.Levels of memory T cells,macrophages and DCs in the IELs were close to the normal level (6 d,t =1.103,0.0213,0.418,all P>0.05),and levels of macrophages and DCs in the LPMCs of mice in the Clostridium butylicum group were also similar to that in the control group (6 d,t =0.782,0.347,both P>0.05) ; (5) Compared with the mice in experimental group,the level of memory T cells in LPMCs of mice treated with Clostridium butylicum was dramatically declined (6 d,t=2.346,P=0.0470,P<0.05),however,which was still higher than that of mice in control group (6 d,t =2.233,P =0.0476,P<0.05).The intestinal immune function was restored to normal level with Clostridium butylicum intervention.Conclusion The pathophysiologic mechanism of IBS might be closely related to the abnormal activation of intestinal immune cellsand disordered functional state in the intestinal mucosa.Clostridium butylicum could regulate the intestinal immune homeostasis and restore the physiological function of gastrointestinal tract.

Objective To investigate the effect of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and vascular en-dothelial growth factor (VEGF) on the angioge-nesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods The collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model was set up in male Wistar rats. The pathological angiogenesis and expression of HIF-1α and VEGF in the synovia different time points were observed by H&E and immunohistochemistry staining. Results The expressions of HIF-1α and VEGF on CIA synovium were significantly elevated and their expression increased gradually with the prolonged disease course. Both synovial HIF-1α expression and VEGF expression were correlated significantly with the pathological angiogenesis score. Synovial lining and sublining HIF-1α expression were correlated significantly with VEGF expression respectively. Conclusion H1F-1α may play an important role in the pathogenesis of RA by upregulating the expression of VEGF and then promoting angiogenesis.
