Objective To investigate the relationship among infection of the gastric fundus gland polyps and Hp,and the use of proton pump inhibitors(PPI).Methods From January 2012 to January 2014,89 cases of gastric fundus gland polyps who were treated in the First Central Hospital of Baoding were selected as the observation group.Fifty cases of the same period for the examination of the superficial gastritis were selected as the control group.First,the occurrence of glandular polyps in the observation group was counted statistically,and then Hp infection,taking PPI,H2RA and gastric mucosal protective agent were compared with control group.Another 50 cases of gastric cancer patients were selected,then the Ki-67 antigen test was used for contrast analysis among the three groups.Results The occurrence proportion of undic gland polyps occurred in fundic,gastric body,cardiac and gastric antrum were 34.83％ (31/89),43.82％ (39/89),12.36％ (11/89) and 8.99％(8/89) respectively,the difference was significant (x2=5.192,P=0.001),and more in the form of a single appearance,accounting for 65.17％(58/89).The Hp infection rate of the observation group was 50.56％ (45/89),compared with 54.00％ (27/59) of control group,the difference was not statistically significant (x2=0.152,P=0.697),and the Hp infection intensity of observation group concentrated in the low and mild,while in the control group,the high intensity was the main.Ki-67 antigen test comparison showed that expression in the gastric cancer group was 82.00％ (41/50),significantly higher than that of the observation group(23.60％ (21/89)),the difference was statistically significant(x2=44.196,P=0.000).Conclusion Hp infection and long-term administration of PPI,H2RA,gastric mucosal protective agent are not the risk factors of gastric gland polyps.And the gastric fundus gland polyps are in the benign disease condition,do not have the deterioration tendency.

Objective To investigate the infection rates of mycoplasma penetrans (Mpe),mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mp) and mycoplasma ferments (Mf) in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN),chronic kideny disease (CKD),and heathy people,to compare the difference of infection rate,and to analyze the association of mycoplasma infection and clinicopathological features in IgAN.Methods Blood samples were collected from 118 patients in IgAN group,90 patients in CKD group,and 89 cases in health control group.DNA of Mpe,Mp and Mf was detected in plasma by PCR.Positive cases were confirmed by Southern blot.According to mycoplasma infection,IgAN patients were divided into two groups,then analyzed the clinicopatholgical features.Results (1)Genus,Mpe,Mp,and Mf positive rates were 33.05％,16.1％,25.45 ％,and 8.47％ in IgAN group,respectively; 5.56％,2.22％,5.56％,and 2.22％ in CKD group,respectively; and 3.33 ％,1.11％,2.22％,and 0 in health group,respectively.Compared with CKD and health group,patients in IgAN group had a higher infection rate in Genus,Mpe,and Mp (P ＜ 0.05).In IgAN group,10 patients had three kinds of mycoplasmas infection at the same time,and positive rate was 8.47％ much higher than CKD group (positive rate was 2.22％) (P ＜ 0.05).(2) Based on mycoplasm detection results,IgAN patients were divided into two groups,overlapping infection group and mycoplasma negative group.In overlapping infection group,the mean age of onset was much younger than negative group.Compared with negative group,overlapping infection group had higher tonsillitis and urinary tract infection rate,more severe microscopic hematuria and tubulointerstitium lesion (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Patients with IgAN had higher infection rate of Genus,Mpe and Mp,compared with CKD patients and health people.Compared with mycoplasma negative group in IgAN patients,more severe microscopic hematuria and tubulointerstitium lesion in overlapping infection group,which suggested that infection of Mpe might have some possible connection with IgAN.

Objective To investigate the expression pattern of microRNA (miRNA) in the kidneys of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) rats and to identify specific miRNA related to renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF).Methods Forty-eight male SD rats were divided into two groups:UUO group and sham-operated (Sham) group.Rats were sacrificed at 3,7 and 14 days after operation.Histologic changes were examined by Masson staining.Forty-eight selected miRNAs were examined by stem-loop real-time qPCR.Results At the 3rd day after operation,obstructed kidneys from operation rats showed mild edema in the interstitium and mononuclear cell infiltration.At the 7th day after operation,focal interstitial fibrosis was observed.At the 14th day after operation,fibrosis became more severe.The Sham kidneys showed no pathological changes.At the 3th day after operation,25 miRNAs were differentially expressed.At the 7th day after operation,24 miRNAs were aberrantly expressed,whereas 21 miRNAs were differentially expressed at the 14th day after operation (P＜0.05).Among these miRNAs,miR-132,miR-192,miR-194,miR-29c and miR-203 were consistently up-regulated or down-regulated in a time-dependent manner after operation.There were significantly correlations between the expression of five miRNAs and severity of tubulointerstitial injury (P＜0.05).Conclusions There are at least 20 miRNAs differentially expressed in the process of RIF induced by UUO.There are significantly correlations between the expression of miR-132,miR-192,miR-194,miR-29c and miR-203 and the severity of tubulointerstitial injury.They may be closely related to RIF.A further study is needed.

Objective To study the association between Mycoplasma penetrans (Mpe) infection and clinicopathology of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Methods Blood samples of 118 IgAN patients, 90 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and 89 healthy people were collected. Mpe DNA in serum was detected by PCR and positive samples were confirmed by Southern blotting. According to Mpe infection, IgAN patients were divided into positive and negative groups. Association between clinicopatholgical features of IgAN and Mpe infection was examined.Results Significantly higher Mpe positive rate was found in IgAN group as compared to CKD and healthy groups (16.0% vs 2.2% and 1.1%, P＜0.01). In Mpe positive group, 42.1% patients presented macroscopic hematuria, which was significantly higher than that in Mpe negative group (P＜0.01). While Mpe negative group had greater proteinuria, higher serum creatinine level, higher Lee grading of pathology compared to Mpe positive group. There were no differences of tubulointerstitial lesions and arteriole hypertrophy between two groups. Conclusions IgAN patients have higher Mpe infection rate than CKD patients and healthy people. Mpe positive IgAN patients have more macroscopic hematuria. Mpe infection may be associated with the pathogenesis of IgAN.

Objective To detect the prevalence of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in peripheral blood of patients with systemic lupus erthematosus (SLE) and explore its role in the pathogenesis of SLE.Methods HCMV DNA was isolated from the peripheral blood leucocytes (PBLs) of 60 patients with SLE and 111 healthy controls.Nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) technology was used to investigate the gene of HCMV glycoprotein gB (UL55) in these specimens.HCMV infections in the PBLs of SLE patients were confirmed by HCMV-UL55 detection.Two-sample t test,nonparametric test,Chi-square test and Fisher probabilities were used to analyze.Results Agarose gel electrophoresis and sequencing analysis showed that established nPCR could specifically detect HCMV-UL55 gene,the HCMV infection rate was significantly higher in patients with SLE than in the healthy controls (P＜0.01).Positive rates of HCMV infection in SLE group and controls were 41.7％ (25/60) and 1.8％ (2/111),respectively.Compared to the SLE patients with HCMV-negative PBLs,the positive rate of Rib-P [26％(9/35) vs 56％(14/25),x2=5.659,P=0.017],the positive rate of direct Coomb's test [37％(13/35) vs 72％(18/25),x2=7.096,P=0.008] and the level of antiβ2GP1 [21.3 (9.9,51.8) U/ml vs 13.6 (5.9,23.1) U/ml,U=2.017,P=0.044] were significantly higher than those in the SLE patients with HCMV-positive PBLs.Compared to the SLE patients with HCMV-negative PBLs,the number of red blood cells [(3.65±0.10)×1012/L vs (3.17±0.17)×1012/L,t=2.574,P=0.013] and lymphocytes [(1.37±0.14)×1012/L vs (0.90±0.13)×1012/L,t=2.456,P=0.017] in peripheral blood and the hemoglobin levels [(110±19) g/L vs (98±5)g/L,t=2.034,P=0.048] of the SLE patients with HCMV-positive decreased significantly.At the same time,the positive rate of hematuria [40％(14/35) vs 72％(18/25),x2=6.000,P=0.014] and 24 h proteinuria [0.80 (0.53,2.37)g vs 0.48 (0.13,1.21)g,U=2.140,P=0.032],which indicated kidney damage were also significantly increased in SLE patients with HCMV-positive PBLs.Conclusion The infection of HCMV in peripheral blood cells may take part in the development of SLE.

Objective To investigate the effect of disodium cantharidinateon in vitro lymphocyte immune response in lung cancer patients.Methods Twenty non-small cell lung cancer patients diagnosed by pathological diagnosis were selected.The effects of different concentrations of disodium cantharidinate and vitamin B6 on lymphocyte proliferation and CD4 + CD25 + T cells,CD25 + FOXP3 + T cells,CD4 + and CD8 + T cells were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay and flow cytometry.Results When the concentrations of disodium cantharidinate and vitamin B6 was less than 10 μg/ml,with the growth of concentration,it stimulated the proliferation of peripheral blood lymphocytes.When the concentration was more than 10 μg/ml,with the growth of concentration,the absorbance value decreased,and the stimulating effect weakened.When the concentration of disodium cantharidinate and vitamin B6 injection was less than 10 μg/ml,with the growth of concentration,CD4 +/CD8 + ratio increased significantly,and CD4 + CD25 +/CD4 + and CD25 + FOXP3 + T cells were significantly lower,which showed statistically significant differences (t =2.171,P =0.032 ; t =2.103,P =0.041 ; t =3.662,P =0.002 ; t =3.201,P =0.003 ; t =3.233,P =0.003).But when the concentration was more than 10 μg/ml,The differences of CD4 +/CD8 + ratio,CD4 + CD25 +/CD4 + and CD25 + FOXP3 + T cells in 10,15,20 μg/ml groups were not statistically significant,which showed that disodium cantharidinate and vitamin B6 injection had a positive effect on enhancing the immune function of lymphocytes in lung cancer in a concentration dependent manner,but high concentration was unhelpful.Conclusion Disodium cantharidinate and vitamin B6 injection can promote lung cancer in vitro lymphocyte proliferation as well as increase its immunity in a certain range.

Objective To investigate the long-term outcome of children with recurrent wheeze and to determine the effectiveness of inhaled hormone therapy. Methods One thousand and thirty-five children with recurrent wheezing were followed up for more than 4 years and the data were retrospectively evaluated. Results Of 1035 cases, 751 (72.56%) patients outgrew their wheeze during the follow-up period, whereas the other 284 (27.44%) patients had recurrence wheeze during the last two years. The age of wheezing onset was<3 years in 542 (52.37%) cases, from 3 to 7 years in 386 (37.29%) cases, and from 7 to 12 years in 107 (10.34%) cases. There was significant difference in clinical control rate among groups with different wheezing ages onset (χ2=45.27, P<0.001). Children with wheezing age onset from 7 to 12 years had the lowest clinical control rate. Among 1035 wheeze children, 343 (79.95%) children in 429 cases who received inhaled hormone therapy for more than one year outgrew their wheeze. Whereas 408 (67.35%) in 606 cases who did not receive inhaled hormone therapy outgrew their wheeze. There was significant difference of clinical control rate between inhaled group and non-inhaled group (P<0.01). Con-clusions The age of wheezing onset is<7 years in 89.66%of children with recurrent wheeze. Most of them can be clinicalycon-trolled. The long term inhaled hoemone therapy for children with recurrent wheeze can reduce the risk of developing adulthood asthma.

Objective To construct a recombinant adenovirus carrying UL138 gene, which was re-lated to the latent infection of human cytomegalovirus, and to investigate the effects of UL138 gene on the functions of THP-1 mononuclear cells. Methods The recombinant adenovirus expressing the UL138 gene was packaged. The titer of the recombinant adenovirus was determined by calculating 50% tissue culture in-fective dose ( TCID50 ) . THP-1 mononuclear cells were infected with the recombinant adenovirus at different multiplicity of infection (MOI) and the optimal MOI was determined (100 PFU/cell) by observing the ex-pression of green fluorescent protein ( GFP ) . Changes in the expression of proinflammatory cytokines by THP-1 mononuclear cells that was induced by overexpressed UL138 were analyzed by quantitative PCR. The expression of chemokines and their receptors were measured by quantitative PCR array. Results The re-combinant adenovirus carrying the UL138 gene was successfully constructed with a titer of 1×1011 PFU/ml. The rate of THP-1 mononuclear cells that was infected with the recombinant adenovirus was 60% at the MOI of 1 ∶ 100. Results of the RT-PCR analysis and Western blot assay further confirmed that the recombinant adenovirus could infect THP-1 mononuclear cells successfully and the expression of UL138 protein increased gradually over time. The overexpressed UL138 in THP-1 mononuclear cells significantly inhibited the expres-sion of IL-18, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α as indicated by the results of quantitative PCR. Results ob-tained from the quantitative PCR array analysis showed that most of the chemokines and their receptors were downregulated in the transfected THP-1 mononuclear cells except for the chemokines of CCL17, CCL21, CCL2 and XCL2 and the receptors of CCR2, CXCR1, CXCR2, CXCR4 and CX3CR1 which were upregulat-ed. Conclusion We successfully constructed the recombinant adenovirus carrying UL138 gene which could be used to infect THP-1 mononuclear cells. Overexpressed UL138 in THP-1 mononuclear cells significantly affected the functions of THP-1 mononuclear cells.

Objective:To study the effects of Jianpi Bushen Jiedu Decoction on the epithelial-mesenchymal transformation of nude mice with HCCLM3 subcutaneous transplanted tumor by regulating JAK2/STAT3 pathway.Methods:HCCLM3 subcutaneous transplanted tumor model was established in mice. After the successful modeling, 24 nude mice were divided into blank group, TCM group and combined group according to random number table method, with 8 mice in each group. Mice in the TCM group were given 0.68 mg/ml alcohol extract of Jianpi Bushen Jiedu Decoction for gavage, and the combined group were given sorafenib suspension plus alcohol extract of Jianpi Bushen Jiedu Decoction 3.5 mg/ml for gavage, once a day, for consecutive 4 weeks. The effects of Jianpi Bushen Jiedu Decoction on tumor volume, tumor weight of HCCLM3 subcutaneous transplanted tumor and mice body weight were observed; Western blot was used to detect the expressions of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin and JAK2/STAT3 pathway-related proteins in subcutaneous transplanted tumor tissues of hepatocellular carcinoma of mice in each group.Results:Compared with the control group, the average tumor weight of subcutaneous transplanted tumor decreased significantly in the TCM group and the combined group ( P<0.05), and the expressions of JAK2, STAT3, p-JAK2, p-STAT3, N-cadherin, and Vimentin decreased significantly in subcutaneous transplanted tumor tissue ( P<0.05), while E-cadherin increased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Jianpi Bushen Jiedu Decoction can inhibit the growth of subcutaneous transplanted tumor of hepatocellular carcinoma in mice. The mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activation of JAK2/STAT3 pathway, thereby inhibiting the epithelial-mesenchymal transformation of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the long-term outcome and prognostic indicators of diffuse pro-liferative lupus nephritis (DPLN).Methods:The primary endpoint of long-term follow-up and factors pos- sibly influencing the outcome were analyzed retrospectively in DPLN patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between Jan 1, 2000 and Dec 31, 2014. Patients were classified into three groups according to the evaluated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) on the first day of admission: eGFR≥60 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2 (regular illness group); 15 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2≤eGFR<60 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2 (serious illness group); eGFR<15 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2 or dialysis (critical illness group). Clinical, histological, and outcome differences among the three groups were evaluated and compared using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) , χ2 test, Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox reggression analysis. Results:167 DPLN patients were studied [155 women; mean age (30±10) years; mean follow-up of (61±45) months]. Renal and patient survival of all patients was 86% at 5 years and 79% at 10 years. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed the renal and patient survival rate at 10 years in the regular illness group, serious illness group and critical illness group was 91%, 70% and 8%, respectively ( χ2=121.93, P<0.01, overall); regular illness group vs serious illness group ( χ2=4.05, P<0.05); regular illness group vs critical illness group ( χ2=97.05, P<0.01); serious illness group vs critical illness group ( χ2=52.28, P<0.01). Multivariable Cox regression analysis found that haematoglobin (Hb)<80 g/L [ HR=2.7, 95% CI(1.2, 6.3), P=0.019], eGFR<60 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2 [ HR=4.1, 95% CI(2.0, 8.2), P<0.01] and large crescents ≥30%[ HR=1.8, 95% CI (1.1, 2.9), P=0.021], were risk factors for the long-term outcome. Conclusion:DPLN patients with normal or slightly decreased renal function have a better long-term prognosis. Moderate to severe impairment of renal function, anemia and large crescents are associated with poor outcome.
