1.Prevention and management of hypertension in the patients with renal diseases
Chinese Journal of Practical Internal Medicine 2003;0(01):-
Effective management for hypertension in renal diseases should be carried out according to the principles of 2007 ESH-ESC Practice Guidelines for the Management of Arterial Hypertension.The important role of kidney in the classification of hypertension,the corresponding therapy,the set of the target blood pressure,the choice of antihypertensive agents and combination therapy should be focused.Comprehensive approaches should be used for the treatment of hypertension in renal diseases to protect the target organs(including the kidney).Appropriate prevention and management strategies for hypertension in renal diseases should be disseminated and optimized.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)has certain advantages in the treatment of chronic liver diseases,especially chronic inflam-matory injury and liver fibrosis.However,the studies on medicinal components and action mechanism of TCM prescriptions are confronted with a great challenge.The computational pharmacology methods used in recent years,mainly including virtual screening technique,omics technologies,and network pharmacology approaches,as well as their application in TCM research,are presented;given the previous re-search work,the progress in research on active ingredients and action mechanism of TCM prescriptions using computational pharmacology methods is reviewed.It is thought that computational pharmacology techniques combined with conventional molecular biological and pharma-cological methods are an important research strategy for the material basis and action mechanism of TCMprescriptions for treating chronic liv-er diseases.

Based on avian leukosis virus ( ALV) p19 gene terminal nucleotide sequence, a 82 bp double-stranded DNA fragment was chemically synthesized and cloned into the expression vector pGEMEX-1. The sequencing result indicated th at the cloned fragment was a correct version of the one designed both in nucleot ide sequence and in its open reading frame. The recombinant was used to transfor m E.coli BL21 (DE3). The cloned fragment was expressed as a fused protein wi th T7 gene 10 leader peptide and was shown to be 34 kD in size on SDS-PAGE gel when induced with 1 mmol/L IPTG. The expression product was able to bind immunol ogically to rabbit anti-ALV serum in Western-blot assay and is being tested to differentiate exogenous from endogenous ALV.

Objective To investigate the value of the diagnosis of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) in renal tumors. Methods Nineteen patients with hyperechoic renal tumors detected by CEUS underwent resection for suspected renal malignant and benign tumors. The characterization of hyperechoic renal tumors on CEUS was evaluated. Results Histopathologic results of resected lesions showed benign tumors in 11 patients with angiomyolipoma and malignancy in 8 patients with clear cell carcinoma. Six patients with angiomyolipoma showed rapid wash in contrast enhancement and slow wash out on all tumor and focal tumor (6/11). One patient with angiomyolipoma was observed in rapid wash in and wash out (1/11). Four patients with angiomyolipoma showed rapid wash in and negative contrast enhancement after rapid wash out(negative contrast enhancement compared to renal cortex,4/11). Five patients with clear cell carcinoma showed rapid wash in and wash out (5/8). Two patients with clear cell carcinoma showed rapid wash in and delayed wash out (2/8). One patient with showed no enhancement on CEUS (1/8). The pseudocapsule could be seen at 5 patients with clear cell carcinoma. Wash in enhancement and wash out on clear cell carcinoma were significant in comparison to these of angiomyolipoma (P<0.05). Wash in enhancement,delayed wash out and negative contrast enhancement were no significant between clear cell carcinoma and angiomyolipoma (P>0.05). Conclusions CEUS is useful for discriminating between benign and malignant renal tumor.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of BRMS1 ( breast cancer metastasis suppressorl ) protein in colon cancer.Methods The expression of BRMS1 protein was detected by using EliVision immunohistochemical techniques in 46 cases of colon cancer,and adjacent non cancerous colon tissues.The clinical significance with histopathologic records was aralyzed.Results The expression levels of BRMS1 ( 34.8% ) in the colon cancer tissues was significantly lower than those of adjacent non cancerous colon tissues( x2 =23.92,P <0.01 ).The expression of BRMSl was significantly correlated with tumor size,clinical stage,and lymph node status (x2 =6.02,4.28,4.35,all P<0.01) ;BRMS1 had no correlation with age,pathological type.Conclusion BRMS1 might synergistically promote the metastasis of colon cancer.Detection of the expression of BRMS1 may be hdpful in determineing the prognosis of colon cancer.

Objective To explore the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs12953-717) of SMAD7 and susceptibility of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Chinese Han population.Methods A single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs12953717) from SMAD7 was detected via Sequenom system in 528 NSCLC cases and 762 healthy controls.Data was statistically analyzed by unconditional Logistic regression method.Results rs12953717 had significant differences between non-small cell lung cancer patients and the controls.Compared with CC/TT (CC combined with TT) genotype,the adjusted odds ratio for the CT genotype was 4.107 (95% CI:3.206 ~ 5.260,P =0.000 1).Smokers had a 2.004 odds ratio (95 % CI =1.583 ~ 2.537,P =0.000 1) of NSCLC compared with the controls.There was a 10.074-fold increased risk of NSCLC among the subjects with CT genotype and smokers.Conclusion The polymorphism of rs12953717 may have relation with risk of NSCLC.Heterozygote (CT) is a susceptibility genotype of NSCLC.Smoking is one of the risk factors of NSCLC.Smoking and CT genotype have synergistic effects on NSCLC susceptibility.
