Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of low-dose heparin in the treament of children with primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS). Methods It was an open and comparative trial. Eightyeight children with PNS in the hypercoagulable state,on the basis of administrating with glucocorticosteroid,were administrated with low-dose heparin that infused by micro pump oriented to time ( group A). Eighty patients only treated with glucocorticosteroid were chosen as control (group B). Results Serum-albumin and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) increased,but fibrinogen (Fib) decreased after therapy in the group A,and they all showed significant differences (P < 0. 01 ). Serum-albumin increased after therapy in the group B and there was significant difference (P<0. 01 ). However,APTT and Fib in the group B showed no significant difference( P > 0. 05 ) between post-treatment and pretherapy. Post-treatment serum-albumin and APTT in the group A were significantly higher than those in group B, and Fib was significantly lower than that in group B ( P < 0. 01 ). The rate of urine protein remission in group A (82/88) was significantly higher than that in group B (63/80). Urine protein remission time and edema disappearance time were significantly shorter in group A than group B ( P < 0. 01 ). APTT of group A at the peak concentration of heparin after therapy was significantly higher than that of pretherapy ( P < 0. 01 ), and the ratio was 2. 38. However, there was no significant difference in APTT at the valley concentration of heparin between post-treatment and pretherapy ( P > 0.05 ). Conclusion Low dose-heparin infused by micro pump oriented to time in the treatment of children with PNS has an obvious anticoagulative effect. It can improve the rate of urine protein remission and shorten edema disappearance time. Meanwhile it is safety ,requires no laboratory monitor and has few drug side effects,thus it deserves further clinical application.

Objectives The ferredoxins are iron-sulfur proteins, which function in electron transfer reactions in a variety of systems and participate in the activation of the antimicrobial agent metronidazole. The aim of this study is to clone and characterize ferredoxin genes of Trichomonas vaginalis. Methods A cDNA expression library was constructed with T. Vaginalis total RNA. Hundreds of cDNA clones were isolated and sequenced. Sequence analysis was performed using BLAST programs, ClustalW program, etc. Results One of the cDNA clones, which has homology with T.vaginalis ferredoxin, was further analyzed. This cDNA clone has an open reading frame of 312 base pairs. The deduced precursor protein contains 103 amino acid residues with a hydrogenosome targeting sequence (MLSQCSPLRF) at the N-terminal end. The primary sequence analysis revealed that this new ferredoxin (TvFd2) has a high homology (69% identity) to the previous reported T.vaginalis ferredoxin(TvFd). Interestingly, TvFd2 is homologous to both the two subclasses of (2Fe-2S) ferredoxins, the oxidase ferredoxins and the photosynthetic ferredoxins,but with low similarity. The conserved four-cysteine residues, which are predicted to form the iron-sulfur cluster,are arranged in a typical pattern of (2Fe-2S)ferredoxins(-C-X5-C-X2-C-Xn-C-). Conclusion These data show that TvFd2 is a putative new (2Fe-2S) ferredoxin of T.vaginalis. Its biological function remains to be studied.

Objective To investigate the potential application of targeting at vascular endothelial growh factor (VEGF) induced apoptosis in leukemic cell lines by combined use of Bevacizumab and chemotherapeutic drug. Methods Leukemic cells were treated with several drugs at different concentrations in culture. The effect of VEGF, Bevacizumab and co-treated with Ara-C on leukemic cells proliferation were evaluated by CCK-8 and apoptosis and cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry (FCM). Results VEGF could enhance the proliferation of leukemic cells and caused a dose-dependent manner on U937 cell. It also increased the percentage of cells in S phase, tested by, and Bevacizumab group was decreased. Apoptotic rate of cells treated with Bevacizumab or co-treated with Bevacizumab and Ara-C for 48 h were significantly higher when compared with control or Ara-C group, respectively (P<0.05), but the apoptotic rate of VEGF group or VEGF and Ara-C group was lower (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in apoptotic rate between control and combined use of VEGF, Bevacizumab and Ara-C group(P>0.05). Conclusion VEGF could enhance the proliferation of some leukemic cells, and may contribute to leukemic cells survival and a resultant resistance to chemotherapy-triggered cell death. The study also showed that leukemic cells growth was significantly inhibited by Bevacizumab through directly against VEGF, and the sensitivity of leukemic cells for chemotherapeutic drug was increased.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of low dose dopamine combined with phentolamine in the treatment of primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) with edema. Methods Retrospective control studies were performed in 155 patients of PNS with edema, who received comprehensive treatment with small dose dopamine combined with phentolamine (group A). Patients treated with furosemide infusion were recruited as control (group B). Results The urinary output, urinary sodium increased after therapy in group A, showing significant differences (P < 0. 01). But urinary potassium excretion, serum sodium and potassium showed no significant difference after therapy in group A. The urinary output, urinary sodium and potassium excretion increased and the serum sodium and potassium decreased after therapy in group B, all showing significant differences between before and after treatment (P <0. 01). The edema relief rate,urinary output, urinary sodium excretion, serum sodium and potassium in group A was significantly higher whereas urinary potassium excretion were significantly lower than those of group B(P <0. 01). The rate of drug adverse reaction in group A was significantly lower than that of group B. Conclusion Low dose dopamine combined with phentolamine in PNS with edema is safe and effective,which may be a substitute of diuretic like furosemide in the treatment of edema of patients with different blood volume.
