The antioxidation of Zea pollinium in rats was studied. Twenty four 5-month old Wistar rats were selected, and randomly divided into control group (basal diet) and bee pollen group (diet containing 10% bee pollen). After feeding with the diet for 10 weeks, the results showed that the MDA levels in serum and liver were 5.73 ?0.22nmol/ml and 0.1951 ? 0.0049nmol/mg protain respectively in the bee pollen group, obviously lower than those of the control group (8.23?0.21nmol/ml and 0.2497?0.0083nmol/mg protein) (p

Objective To identify mutations in the OSMR gene in a pedigree with familial primary cutaneous amyloidosis (FPCA).Methods Clinical data were collected from a pedigree with FPCA.Peripheral blood samples were obtained from the proband,his 19 relatives,and 50 unrelated healthy human controls.Genomic DNA was extracted from these blood samples,and subjected to PCR for the amplification of 18 encoding exons and their flanking sequences of the OSMR gene followed by DNA sequencing.Results A heterozygous missense mutation c.2081C ＞ T,which leads to the substitution of proline by threonine at position 694,was detected in the OSMR gene of the proband and his affected relatives,but not in unaffected relatives or healthy controls.Conclusion The heterozygous mutation p.P694L in the OSMR gene may cause the clinical phenotype of FPCA in this family.

Objective:To explore the efficacies of single-center pediatric transplantations and discuss the current problems.Methods:From July 2007 to September 2019, the clinical data of 202 children (aged ≤17 years) undergoing renal transplantation were reviewed. And their perioperative complications, transplantation outcomes and patient/kidney survival were analyzed.Results:The most common perioperative complication was delayed graft function (DGF)( n=24, 11.9%), recurrence of renopathy ( n=8, 4.0%) and acute rejection ( n=21, 10.4%). The major causes of death and graft failure were lung infection ( n=9, 4.5%) and rejection ( n=11, 5.4%). Perioperative serum creatinine decreased progressively from (816.1±303.1) μmol/L preoperatively to (62.7±20.6) μmol/L at Month 3 post-operation. The value of eGFR were (166.8±37.3), (135.1±29.0) and (109.9±31.1) ml/(min·1.73 m 2) at Year 1/3/5 post-operation respectively. The survival rates were 96.7%, 96.3%, 94.1%, 93.5%, 94.1% and 90.7% at Year 1/3/5 post-operation respectively. No difference existed in human/kidney survival rate between LD and DD groups at Year 1/3/5 post-operation ( P>0.05) and transplantation outcomes were excellent. Conclusions:Effective and successful outcomes have been achieved at our center. And further optimizations are required for resolving various problems.

Objective:To explore the relationship between exposure to famine in early life and the risk of hypertension in adulthood.Methods:The medical data of Yichang Health Management Big Data Center from 2018 to 2019 were analyzed. A retrospective cohort study design was adopted, with hypertension as the study outcome, and different life periods exposed to the Great Famine in China were divided into groups. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between famine exposure in early life and hypertension in adulthood. At the same time, the interaction between gender and famine exposure was analyzed.Results:The age of 142 016 subjects was (60. 56±4.43). Among them, men accounted for 46.36% (65 845/142 016) and women accounted for 53.64% (76 171/142 016). There are 42 575(29.98%), 19 644(13.83%), 28 405(20.00%), 28 305(19.93%), 23 087 (19.93%) in non-famine exposure group, fetal famine exposure group, early childhood famine exposure group and late childhood famine exposure group, respectively. The prevalence of hypertension was 17.57% (24 947 cases). Multivariate logistic regression model analysis showed that after adjusting for related confounding factors, compared with non-famine exposure group, the risk of hypertension in fetal, early childhood, middle childhood and late childhood famine exposure group was higher and the OR (95% CI) values were 1.16 (1.11-1.22), 1.27 (1.21-1.33), 1.54 (1.47-1.60) and 1.84 (1.76-1.92), respectively. There was an interaction between sex and famine exposure group ( P<0.001). The above association is stronger among women than among men. Conclusion:Famine exposure in early life may increase the risk of hypertension in adulthood, and the risk of women is greater than that of men.

Objective:To explore the expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO)in the tissue of transplanted kidney un-der T cell-mediated rejection.Methods:A total of 38 cases of tissue specimens of transplanted kidney under T cell-mediated re-jection according to pathological diagnosis from Apr 2008 to Oct 2012 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were collected.In addition,10 cases of normal renal biopsy specimens were randomly selected as control group.Mouse anti-hu-man IDO monoclonal antibody with two-step immunohistochemical staining was applied for the detection of IDO expression in the tissue of transplanted kidney under rejection.Results:There was no IDO expression in the normal renal biopsy tissue.Posi-tive expression rate of IDO was 73.7% in the tissue of transplanted kidney under T cell-mediated rejection.There was statisti-cally significant difference(P <0.01).Positive expression rate of IDO in the tissue of transplanted kidney under T cell mediated acute rejection was obviously higher than that under T cell-mediated chronic rejection(P <0.05).The differences in positive ex-pression rate of IDO in transplanted kidney tissues under different pathological grades of T cell-mediated rejection were statisti-cally significant(P <0.05).The expression intensity of IDO was negatively correlated with the grade of T cell-mediated acute rejection(r=-0.696,P <0.05).Conclusions:IDO is involved in the immune regulation after renal transplantation.Higher ex-pression of IDO can significantly reduce T cell-mediated acute rejection.
