BACKGROUND: Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a kind of factor that can mediate downstream action of transforming growth factor-β 1 (TGF- β 1). The upregulation of connective tissue growth factor expression plays an important role in pathological changes of renal interstitial fibrosis.OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of Sodium Ferulate on the expression of CTGF mRNA and protein in rats with unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) and pathological changes of renal interstitial fibrosis, and to compare with Losartan.DESIGN: Randomized and controlled animal trial.SETTING: Department of Nephrology, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, and College of Public Health, Sichuan University.MATERIALS: Twenty-four healthy adult male SD rats were selected from the Experimental Animal Center of Sichuan University. Sodium Ferulate was provided by Sichuan Hengda Pharmacy Co, Ltd (No. 050302); rabbit anti-rat CTGF by Santa Cruz; Western blotting by BioRAD, USA; DNA Engine OpticonTM real-time fluorescent quantitation PCR device by MJ Research, USA.METHODS: The experiment was performed at Research Laboratory of Clinical Medicine (grade BSL-1), College of Public Health, Sichuan University from May to December 2006. Twenty-four healthy rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=6): UUO model group, Sodium Ferulate group, Losartan group, and sham-operation group. According to the previous protocol, UUO models were established in UUO model group, Sodium Ferulate group, and Losartan group, and the other rats were subjected to sham operation. From the first day after UUO, Sodium Ferulate group was intragastrically (i.g.)administrated with 150 mg/kg/d Sodium Ferulate; Losartan group was administrated ig. with 20 mg/kg/d. Losartan; UUO and sham operation groups were administrated i.g. with matching normal saline. All rats were executed 14 days after UUO to harvest partial renal tissues. All experimental procedure was accorded with animal ethical standards.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The mRNA and protein expressions of CTGF were quantified by real-time PCR and Western blot. The pathological changes of renal interstitial tissues were observed by hematoxylin/eosin (HE) and Masson staining.RESULTS: Twenty-four rats were included in final analysis. Fourteen days after UUO, CTGF mRNA and protein expressions in UUO model group were significantly increased compared with sham operation group, but the expressions in Sodium Ferulate group were significantly lower than model group (P < 0.05). Compared with Losartan treated group, there was no significant difference (P > 0.05). HE and Masson staining showed inflammatory cell infiltration and tubular and interstitial changes as well as collagen deposition in renal interstitial tissues on day 14 after UUO. Sodium Ferulate obviously improved the renal pathological changes in UUO rats (P < 0.05), and the effect was similar to Losartan (P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: Sodium Ferulate inhibits UUO-induced renal interstitial fibrosis. This action, similar to the effect of Losartan, might be due to downregulation of CTGF expression.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the changes of total cholesterol (TC), C-reactive protein (CRP), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the degree of false lumen thrombosis after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and its clinical significance.Methods:A total of 95 patients with aortic dissection admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from June 2015 to July 2020 were selected for retrospective study. All patients were treated with TEVAR. According to the disappearance of false lumen detected by computed tomography (CT) angiography six months after operation, 95 patients were divided into complete disappearance group ( n=43) and incomplete disappearance group ( n=52). The levels of plasma TC, CRP and VEGF in the two groups were compared before operation and 1 and 3 months after operation, as well as the degree of false lumen thrombosis. Spearman′s method was used to analyze the relationship between the levels of plasma TC, CRP and VEGF and the degree of postoperative false lumen thrombosis; multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting the disappearance of false lumen after TEVAR; The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) were used to analyze the value of each index in predicting the complete disappearance of false lumen. Results:The plasma levels of TC, CRP and VEGF in the complete disappearance group were lower than those in the incomplete disappearance group 1 and 3 months after operation (all P<0.05). The degree of false lumen thrombosis in the complete disappearance group was significantly different from that in the incomplete disappearance group 1 and 3 months after operation (all P<0.05). The plasma levels of TC, CRP and VEGF 1 and 3 months after TEVAR were negatively correlated with the degree of false lumen thrombosis (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the plasma levels of TC, CRP and VEGF 1 and 3 months after operation were correlated with the disappearance of false lumen (all P<0.05). With the passage of time, the AUC of each index to predict the complete disappearance of false lumen gradually increased. At 3 months after operation, the AUC of TC, CRP, VEGF and combined prediction of the complete disappearance of false lumen were 0.706, 0.899, 0.781 and 0.943, respectively (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The changes of plasma TC, CRP and VEGF levels after TEVAR are related to the degree of false lumen thrombosis and the disappearance of false lumen in patients with aortic dissection. Combined examination of the three can be an effective method to predict the complete disappearance of false lumen.

Objective:To investigate the allele distribution of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene polymorphism in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to analyze its correlation with the presence and severity of coronary stenosis.Methods:A total of 94 elderly patients with T2DM who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from March 2020 to March 2022 were selected as the observation group, and 50 age- gender-matched healthy subjects were selected as the control group. The observation group was further divided into stenosis group and non-stenosis group based on the presence of coronary stenosis. Clinical data were collected from all participants, and blood samples were taken for analysis. The ALDH2 gene polymorphism (rs671 locus) was detected using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technology. The distribution of ALDH2 genotypes was observed in elderly patients with T2DM, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent factors associated with the development of coronary stenosis in elderly patients with T2DM. The degree of coronary stenosis was compared between patients with different genotypes.Results:The allele A frequency of ALDH2 gene (rs671 locus) was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group ( P<0.05). The proportion of patients with diabetes duration≥5 years and smoking history in the stenosis group was significantly higher than that in the non-stenosis group (all P<0.05). Serum levels of glucose (GLU), total cholesterol (TC), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were significantly higher in the stenosis group than in the non-stenosis group, while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level was significantly lower in the stenosis group than in the non-stenosis group (all P<0.05). The proportion of ALDH2 genotypes AA and allele A frequency were significantly higher in the stenosis group than in the non-stenosis group (all P<0.05). Long duration of diabetes, low HDL-C level, and ALDH2 genotypes AA were independent risk factors for the development of coronary stenosis in elderly patients with T2DM (all P<0.05). The proportion of patients with three or more coronary artery lesions in the stenosis group with genotype AA was significantly higher than that in the stenosis group with genotypes GG and GA (all P<0.05). Conclusions:ALDH2 gene polymorphism is associated with the development of T2DM in elderly patients, and allele A carriers may have a higher risk of developing coronary stenosis and more severe disease severity.
