3.Expression of MCP-1 in human mesangial cells induced by Ox-LDL is mediated by the activition of nuclear factor-KB
Chinese Journal of Nephrology 1997;0(01):-
Objective To investigate the role of nuclear factor-KB( NF-KB) in the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-i (MCP-1) in human mesangial cells induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein(Ox-LDL) . Methods Human mesangial cells were used as target cells. Levels of inhibitory KBK (IKB?) and MCP-1 protein were measured by ELISA. Activity of transcriptional factors NF-KB was determined by electrophoresis mobility shift assay ( EMSA) . Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the translocation of p65. Results Ox-LDL increased the DNA-binding activition of NF-KB and decreased the expression of IKB?. These effects were most obvious when the mesangial cells were cultured with Ox-LDL in 50 ?g/ml for 1 hour( P

Objective To explore the effects oflosartan on brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)and C-reactive protein(CLRP)in diabetic cardiomyopathy patients. Methods Sixty diabetics were divided into diabetic control group(30 cases)and diabetic cardiomyopathy group(30 cases), and the levels of BNP and CRP in plasma were determined. Then, diabetic cardiomyopathy group were divided into conventional treatment group(15 cases)and losartan treatment group(15 cases)by random digits table to take corresponding treatment for 12 weeks. The changes of cardiac function, the levels of BNP and CRP in plasma were detected and compared. Results The levels of BNP and CRP in diabetic cardiomyopathy group [(331.27 ±65.64)ng/L,(26.10±10.13)mg/L]were significantly higher than those in diabetic control group[(76.09±39.14)ng/L,(7.03±2.71)mg/L](P<0.01). After treatment 12 weeks, the levels of BNP and CRP were significantly lower, left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly higher and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was significantly lower in losartan treatment group than those in conventional treatment group(P<0.05).Conclusions The increasing levels of BNP and CRP can reflect clinical severity of diabetic cardiomyopathy.Losartan can decrease the levels of BNP and CRP, and improve heart function, and it has better effective on diabetic cardiomyopathy.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of cluster needling of scalp acupuncture combined with rehabilitation(Tang's Approach) on depression of stroke patients with motor aphasia.Methods70 stroke patients were randomly divided into the acupuncture with rehabilitation group and the control group. The cluster needle of scalp point with speech rehabilitation training was used in the acupuncture with rehabilitation group, while speech rehabilitation training was used only in the control group. The degree of depression and aphasia were observed in the two groups 4 weeks after treament.Results 4 weeks after the treatment, the classification of aphasia was getting better in the acupuncture with rehabilitation group than in the control group(P<0.05), and the incidence of depression decreased significantly in the acupuncture with rehabilitation group compared with the control group(P<0.01). The score of Stroke Aphasic Depression Scale (SADQ) decreased significantly in the acupuncture with rehabilitation group compared with the control group (P<0.01).ConclusionTang's Approach may improve the depression of stroke patients with motor aphasia.

Objective To investigate the influence of VEGF expression on the apoptosis of pancreas subjected to ischemia/reperfu-sion injury. Methods Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups (rt = 10). Group A was served as sham-operation group. Groups B were subjected to 30 min of ischemia by clamping of celiac artery and superior mesenterie artery then releasing for 6 hours to produce ischemia/reperfusion injury model. Groups C were treated with VEGF antisense oligodeexynueleotide after isehemia. Rats were sacrificed, the pancreas was obtained to detect the VEGF expression by immunohistochemical method, and apoptosis was determined by TUNEL staining. Results Apoptosis appeared and VEGF expression up regulated in pancreas after Isehemia/reperfusion injury. Comparison between Groups C and Groups B showed a significant down regulation of VEGF expression (P <0. 05) and a notable increase of apoptotic index (P < 0. 05). Conclusion VEGF expression suppresses apeptosis of pancreas during the course of ischemia/reperfusion injury and may play an important role in protection of pancreas against the ischemia/repeffusion injury.

Objective To study the influence of short hairpin RNA-mediated inhibition of APRIL gene on proliferation,invasion and metastasis of human colon carcinoma SW480 ceils in vitro. Methods After treatment with shRNA, the expression level of APRIL protein in human colon carcinoma SW480 cells was detected by western blotting. And cell adhesion, cell migration and cell invasion of SW480 cells transfected with sh637 were analyzed respectively as compared with non-transfected SW480 cells and mocktransfectant. Results The expression of APRIL protein in SW480 transfected with sh637 were significantly lower than mock-plasmid groups and untransfected ones (F=42.15, P=0.00). Cell proliferation was markedly inhibited, compared with untransfected groups and negative control ones (F=24.76, P<0.05).And the average absorption of cell adhesion in transfected groups, mock-plasmid and non-transfected ones were 0.343, 0.409, 0.412, respectively. Cell adhesion decreased 39% compared with untransfected groups. Similarly, there was significant difference for cell migration (F=65.53, P<0.01) between transfected groups (The average ceil number in exposed area to migrate was 47.89±13.16) and nontransfected (98.78±23.26) as well as mock-plasmid ones (108.01±39.11). Then, in view of the average absorption of cell invasion between transfected groups(0.58±0.10) and non-transfected (0.94±0.23) as well as mock-plasmid ones(1.11±0.21), a prominently difference for cell invasion was also found between them (F=5.771, P<0.05). Conclusion The results suggest APRIL has a proliferation-inducing effect and probably be involved in cell invasion and cell metastasis of colon carcinoma and it could enhance capacity of invasion and metastasis of SW480 cells.

Ninety elderly patients with coronary heart disease were randomly divided into 2 groups:in study group (n = 45) the cognitive-behavioral intervention as well as conventional medical treatment were performed and in control group ( n = 45 ) only conventional treatment was given. Short Form-36 ( SF-36),symptom checklist 90(SCL-90), Hamilton anxiety scale( HAMA), Hamilton depression scale( HAMD)were evaluated before and after intervention, the serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG)and body mass index (BMI)were measured, the smoking and drinking behaviors were recorded. After 6-month of intervention the smoking [(0. 6 ± 0. 2)cigarettes/d] and drinking [(10. 1 ± 2. 3)g/d] behaviors, the scores of SF-36 (85 ± 16), SCL-90 (104 ±4), HAMA (10 ±4) and HAMD (12 ±3), the systolic blood pressure [( 123 ± 11 ) mm Hg ( 1 mm Hg = 0. 133 kPa)], diastolic blood pressure [(77 ± 5 ) mm Hg], the fasting blood glucose [(4. 2 ± 2. 6 ) mmol/L] and BMI ( 22.5 ± 0. 5 ) in study group were significantly improved compared to control group ( P < 0. 01 ). The results indicate that cognitive-behavioral intervention can improve the mental state and quality of life in elderly patients with coronary heart disease.

Objective To explore the impact of comprehensive musing intervention on the accuracy of non-stress test (NST). Methods With sealed envelope method, 400 cases of primiparous pregnant women without high risk factors were randomly divided into the research group and the control group with 200 cases in each group. The research group was given comprehensive care intervention, the control group received routine nursing. The incidence of non reaction of non-stress test, Apgar score no higher than 7 points, amniotic fluid pollution and cesarean section rate were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence of non reaction of NST was 15.08% in the research group, which was lower than 29.40% of the control group. The incidence of Apgar score no higher than 7 points and amniotic fluid pollution were 8.5% and 19.0% respectively in the research group, which showed no significant difference compared with those of the control group. The cesarean section rate in pregnant was 38.5% in the research group, which was significantly lower than 65.5% of the control group. Conclusions Comprehensive care intervention is effectively to improve the accuracy of NST , so that it can reduce cesarean section rate.
