The body is exposed to various organic anions,so it is the best way to remove the toxic substances in the body quickly and effectively.Cross epithelial active transport mediated by organic anion transporter is the rate limiting process.Renal secretion and re-absorption of a variety of endogenous and exogenous organic anions are occurred in the proximal tubular epithelial cells of the organic anion transporter family.The expression of organic anion transporter-1 (OAT1) in proximal tubular epithelial cells plays an important role in the introduction of organic anion into the renal tubular epithelial cells.This article reviewed the renal expression,the substrate and the polymorphism of the organic anion transport protein OAT1,the renal toxicity of adefovir dipivoxil,the interaction between organic anion transporters and drug,and the influence of the renal toxicity on the renal toxicity of adefovir dipivoxil.

Objective K93T point mutation exists in the quinoid dihydropteridine reductase ( QDPR) of OLEFT rats which catalyzes QDPR into tetrahydrobinopterin(BH4), while dihydrofolate reductase(DHFR) can reduce QDPR to BH4, which implies crosstalk between hydrobiopterin and folate metabolism.By investigating the influence of QDPR expression on DHFR expression of NRK-52E cells, the article aimed to find out the possible underlying mechanism of QDPR gene in diabetic nephropathy ( DN). Methods Western blot was performed to identify the expression level in NRK-52E cell under high glucose ambience and DHFR pro-tein expression of OLETF rats.NRK-52E cells were transfected by the lentivirus to establish no-load overexpression, overexpressed QDPR and knockdown QDPR models.Each group was given 5.4 mmol/L normal sugar medium and 30mmol/L in high glucose ambi-ence for 72 hours'cell cultivation to simulate DN model.Observation was made on the influence of QDPR gene expression levels on DHFR in high glucose ambience. Results The western blot analysis revealed that DHFR protein decreased in NHG group( [0.33 ± 0.16] vs [0.64 ±0.5], P<0.05) and OLETF rats cortex ([0.56 ±0.16] vs [1.03 ±0.12], P<0.01).In high glucose ambi-ence, compared with LV-OCON-HG group, the protein expression of DHFR was significantly decreased in LV-QDPR-HG group ([0.12 ±0.09] vs [0.63 ±0.08], P<0.01).No difference was found in the comparison of DHFR expression levels between LV-SHQDPR-HG and LV-SHCON-HG group. Conclusion DHFR protein expression decreases in NRK-52E cells of high glucose and LOLETF rat model, which suggests that DHFR protein plays an important role in the development of DN.QDPR overexpression leads to the decreased expression of DHFR, which implies that overexpressed QDPR influences the occurrence and process of DN by down-regulating DHFR expression level.

AIM: To investigate effects of different therapeutic methods and typical recipes on activation of ERK1/2 in Kupffer cells of rats with fatty liver.METHODS: The rat model of fatty liver was established by feeding high fat diet combinated with distillate spirit.Meanwhile Chinese medicines Shugan fang,Jianpi fang,Huoxue fang,Qushi fang,and Zonghe fang were given to treat different groups respectively.12 weeks later,the Kupffer cells were isolated from livers of control group,model group and different treatment groups by sequential in situ perfusion with collagenaseⅣ and pronase E,density gradient centrifugation,selective adherence.The expression of total ERK1/2 and phospho-ERK1/2 in Kupffer cells of control group,model group and different treatment groups were detected by Western blotting.RESULTS: The expressions of total ERK1/2 and phospho-ERK1/2 were higher in Kupffer cells from model group than those in control group(P

Objective:To evaluate dynamic changes of functional status in elderly emergency inpatients by using the interRAI Acute Care for Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment(interRAI AC-CGA), and to analyze whether assessment results are helpful for clinical decision-making.Methods:Elderly patients(aged 60 years and older)who were hospitalized in the Acute Care Unit of PLA General Hospital from October 2017 to March 2018 were included.Each patient received the interRAI AC-CGA instrument-based assessment at admission(day 1), on day 7 and day 28 after admission.Analysis of collected data was conducted using interRAI AC-CGA scales, geriatric syndrome screening and risk identification of adverse outcomes, in order to examine dynamic changes of functional status in patients at and after admission and to explore the relationship between functional status at admission and outcomes(at discharge).Results:Thirty-four patients were evaluated, including 26 males and 8 females, aged from 60 to 101 years, with a mean age of(84.2±10.1)years.Patients had a variety of functional abnormalities at admission and during hospitalization, in which the ability to perform activities of daily living(ADL)and instrumental activities of daily living(IADL)decreased significantly.Compared with evaluation results on day 1, the incidences of functional abnormalities on day 7 and day 28 declined, and there was improvement in transient depression, pain and falls( χ2=6.298, 6.027 and 7.766, P=0.043, 0.049 and 0.021). After evaluation on day 28, 16 patients were discharged and 18 remained hospitalized(including 2 deaths). The rate for most abnormality was lower in the discharge group than in the continued hospitalization group, and the rates for abnormal communication and falls were lower in the discharge group than in the continued hospitalization group( χ2=6.349 and 5.443, P=0.019 and 0.030). Age(≥85 years old)had no effect on discharge.There was no significant difference in hospital discharge rate between the advanced age group(≥85 years old)and the elderly group(60-84 years old)(40.0% or 8/20 vs.57.1% or 8/14, χ2=0.971, P=0.324). Conclusions:The interRAI AC-CGA instrument can systematically and dynamically estimate functional changes in elderly emergency inpatients.Functional status at admission is related to prognosis(performance at discharge)of patients.

【Objective】 To investigate the profiles of RhC, c, E, and e antigens and phenotypes in 4 704 inpatients from multiple regions, i. e. Nanning, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and provide data information for compatibility blood transfusion of Rh blood group. 【Methods】 The Rh blood group antigens were detected by microcolumn gel cards from three manufactures. If the test and the control results are inconsistent, a third-party reagent would be used, and traditional tube method for confirmation if needed. The Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were used to analyze antigen frequency and Rh phenotypes in each region. 【Results】 Among the 4 704 inpatients, the frequency of C, c, E, and e antigen was e(91.77%)>C(85.64%)>c(49.62%)>E(41.60%), and Rh phenotypes distribution was CCee(49.40%)>CcEe(27.53%)>Ccee(8.16%)>ccEE(7.74%)>ccEe(4.89%)>CCEe(0.96%)>ccee(0.83%)>CcEE(0.47%)>CCEE(0.02%). There were significant differences in Rh blood type distribution among Nanning, Guangzhou and Shenzhen(P<0.05). Differences in Rh phenotype distribution between male and female were noticed in Shenzhen(P< 0.05), but not in Nanning or Guangzhou. 【Conclusion】 The distribution of Rh blood group in Shenzhen, Nanning and Guangzhou were significantly different from each other, therefore regional characteristics should be considered when carrying out Rh-compatible blood transfusion, so as to guarantee the security of transfusion and reduce the incidence of unexpected antibodies.

Objective: To explore the safety and effectiveness of a novel percutaneous self-expanding forceful reduction screw system in the treatment of thoracolumbar fracture with severe vertebral height loss. Methods: Thirty-eight patients of thoracolumbar fracture with more than 50%vertebral height loss were treated with the novel percutaneous self-expanding forceful reduction screw between March 2014 and June 2015. The screw system is a single plane screw with a reduction angle of 0,3,6,9 degrees. During the operation, the fracture vertebral body was automatically restored during the locking process of the top cap. All the patients were single vertebral fractures. Percutaneous screw fixation and reduction was used in the operation. Two groups of screws were used to fix the two adjacent vertebrae of the injured vertebra and to restore the injured vertebral body, without fusion treatment. The vertebral body index (VBI), height of the anterior margin of fractured vertebra (HAMFV), vertebral body angle (VBA), bisegmental Cobb angle (BCA), visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) of the patients before and after operation, 6 months after operation, and at the end of the follow-up were compared. The scoring results were compared using a t test. Results: The operation was completed successfully in 38 cases. A total of 152 screws were placed. The accuracy rate of CT evaluation was 98.7%. The average operation time was 90.7±21.9 min, and the average intraoperative bleeding amount was 89.2±31.9 ml. The patients' preoperative VBI, HAMFV, VBA, BCA, VAS and ODI scores were 0.38±0.07, 0.38±0.06, 25.45°±4.54°, 18.66°±8.57°, 7.76±1.02, and 44.58%±2.33%, respectively. The postoperative measurements were 0.93±0.03, 0.95±0.02, 3.71°± 1.35°, 5.84°±6.80 °, 4.29±1.16 and 24.37%±1.88%. At the last follow-up, the measurements were 0.92±0.03, 0.94±0.02, 3.89° ±1.31°,6.05°±7.00°, 1.71±0.65 and 5.95%±2.67%. There was significant difference between the preoperative and postoperative data, as well as the preoperative and the last follow-up data (P<0.05). Conclusion In the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures with severe loss of vertebral height, the novel percutaneous self-expanding forceful reduction screw system has achieved satisfactory vertebral height restoration and kyphosis correction.
