Objective Valsartan, the angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor blocker, is recently proved to reduce urinary albumin at the microalbuminuria stage in human diabetic nephropathy without altering glucose metabolism. But the pathway is still uncertain. In present study, we examined the changes of adrenomedullin receptor (ADMR) mRNA and protein expressions in the renal cortex of diabetic rats to investigate the protective effects of valsartan on an experimental model of diabetic renal injury. Method The SD rats were randomly divided into following groups: normal rats, STZ-induced diabetic rats, and diabetic rats treated with valsartan. STZ-induced diabetic rats were treated with valsartan (10mg/kg body weight) or vehicle for 8 weeks. The expressions of ADMR mRNA in renal cortex were analyzed by RT-PCR, as well as ADMR protein expressions were detected through western blot. Results We found (1) Valsartan treatments reduced urinary albumin excretion in 24h, compared with the untreated. But no notable difference was seen in HbA1c and blood sugar of diabetic rats between the two groups. (2) Valsartan treatments increased the expressions of ADMR mRNA and protein in diabetic rats renal cortex. Conclusion These results indicate that valsartan treatment can upgrade the expressions of ADMR in the renal cortex of diabetic rats. It may be one of renal protective pathways of Ang Ⅱ type 1 receptor blocker.

Objective To investigate the effect of epidural morphine for analgesia on the number of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in the rabbit colon.Methods Thirty healthy rabbits of either sex,weighing 2.0-2.5 kg,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =15 each):control group (group C) and morphine group (group M).The animals were anesthetized with iv 20% urethane 4 ml/kg.The epidural analgesia was performed at L3,4 interspace.In group M morphine 9.2 ug· kg-1 · h-1 was infused into the epidural space for 7 consecutive days,while the equal volume of normal saline was infused instead in group C.The characteristics of excrement and constipation were recorded during morphine infusion.Normal saline or Chinese ink mixture 5 ml was administered via a gastric tube inserted through the mouth 1 day after the end of administration.The rabbits were sacrificed 30 min later and laparotomy was performed.The intestinal segment numbered from the pylorus to the ileocecal region of the bowel was removed and the length of the intestinal segment and propelled distance of the ink within the intestinal tract were measured in the tension-free state.The rate of propelled distance was calculated.The proximal and distal colon tissues were taken for measurement of the expression of c-kit (by immunohistochemisty) and ICC count,and stained with haematoxylin and eosin for examination of pathological changes.Results Compared with group C,the incidence of constipation was significantly increased,and the rate of propelled distance,and expression of c-kit and ICC count in proximal colon tissues were decreased at 3-7 days of morphine infusion (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant change was found in the expression of c-kit and ICC count in distal colon tissues in group M (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Epidural morphine for analgesia can inhibit the motor function of the intestinal tract in rabbits,and reduction in the number of ICC count in proximal colon is involved in the mechanism.

AIM: To evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of thickness profile measurement of intra-retinal layers determined by an automated algorithm applied to OCT images from Cirrus optical coherence tomography (OCT) instrument.METHODS: In this prospective cross-sectional study,retinal thickness images at 6mm×6mm around fovea were obtained from 86 eyes of 43 normal subjects with Cirrus HD-OCT instrument.The retinal images from patients were analysis by Cirrus automated algorithm GCA software,including ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform layer(GCIPL).During this study,operator A would make 2 times measurements to all patients,after that operator B would make another 2 times measurements by Repeat scan model.All the data,including GCL average thickness,min thickness,12 clock average thickness,2 clock average thickness,4 clock average thickness,6 clock average thickness,8 clock average thickness and 10 clock average thickness were measured by SPSS 15.0 software.Standard deviation (SD),coefficient of variation (CV) and interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated from the results of three-times tests by different examiner to evaluate the repeatability and from the results of two different examiners to assess the reproducibility.Written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to any medical procedure.RESULTS: The average GCIPL thickness of OD was 85.12±3.95μm;the minimum average GCIPL thickness was 83.21±4.41μm;the standard deviation of OD in clock map was from 3.79μm to 4.84μm;CV(95%CI) was between 0.26 and 0.93;ICC was from 0.939 to 0.989.The average GCL+IPL thickness of OS was 84.65±8.73μm;the minimum average GCPL thickness was 81±13.08μm;the standard deviation of OS in clock map was from 8.24μm to 10.56μm;CV(95%CI) was between 0.92 and 4.94;ICC was from 0.264 to 0.968.CONCLUSION: Cirrus HD-OCT GCA software with automated algorithm can offer accurate and repeatable thickness profile of OCT retinal image.GCA is a useful and reliable approach to the measurement of intra-retinal layer thickness,which may improve the diagnosis and monitoring of retinal diseases.

BACKGROUND:Conventional methods,including trypsin digestion and cells transfer using single call suspension,have many drawbacks,which limit the development of bone tissue engineering.OBJECTIVE:To culture bone marrow stromal stem calls,induce osteoblastic differentiation,and prepare cell sheets.METHODS:Canine bone marrow stromal calls were isolated by density gradient centrifugation technique,inoculated into DMEM medium,and induced to differentiate into osteoblasts.Complete call sheets were harvested by call sheet engineering based on the temperature change of temperature-responsive medium.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Immediately after inoculation,primary calls were scattered on the bottom of culture flask,presenting a transparent spherical body with a good refractive capacity.At 12 hours,calls exhibited a long shuttle shape,reached complete confluency,and grew in a whirlpool-like fashion.After osteoblastic induction,the majority of bone marrow stromal stem calls appeared tetragonal,polygonal,and squamose.At 21-28 days,round or oval-shaped calcified nodules formed.When the bone marrow stromal stem calls in the temperature-responsive culture dishes were cooled below the critical temperature 32℃,cells were gradually detached from the bottom of culture flask and formed complete bone marrow stromal stem call sheets.These findings indicate that density gradient cantrifugation technique can be used to successfully isolate and culture canine bone marrow stromal stem cells to differentiate into osteoblasts and call sheet engineering enables to harvest complete bone marrow stromal stem call sheets.

BACKGROUND:There are some disadvantages in harvesting and transferring cells in the traditional tissue engineering technique,and it is difficult to form dense tissues,which significantly limits the development of tissue engineering.OBJECTIVE:To explore the culture and fabrication of dog bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell(BMSC)sheet in vitro.METHODS:Bone marrow was extracted from dogs following anesthesia.BMSCs were isolated with the method of density gradient centrifugation in vitro.BMSCs at passage 4 at a density of 1×10~9/L were incubated in the temperature-responsive culture dishes with a diameter of 3.5 cm,and cultured in an incubator at 37 ℃,5% CO_2 and saturated humidity.The temperature of the incubator was changed from to 37 V to 20 ℃ to prepare BMSCs cell sheet for 20 minutes.Cell morphological changes and cell sheet formation were observed under an inverted microscope.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Dog BMSCs following 24 hours of primary culture presented ellipse or polygonal shape.Most cells adhered at hour 72,and cell colonies were visible at day 7.Cells showed long spindle and completely confluence at day 12,with unclear boundary.BMSCs in the temperature-responsive culture dishes presented short spindle shape,and gradually separated from the dish bottom,forming entire cell sheet containing extracellular matrix at 20 V.These verified that dog BMSCs can be effectively obtained with method of density gradient centrifugation.Complete cell sheet layer can be fabricated with temperature-responsive culture dishes.
