Objective To explore the possible role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Me-thods After the IgAN model was successfully induced at 12 weeks, the BALB/C mice were randomly divided into IgAN group (n=15) and IgAN+VitD group (n=15). The nephrosis mice were administrated with 100 μl/d propylene glycol or propyl-ene glycol+1,25(OH)2D, 3 ng/(100g?d), for 6 weeks. The control group was setted (n=15). The level of 24 hour urine protein was determined at week 0, 12 and 18. At week 18, the levels of serum 25(OH)D, ifbroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and galactose-deifcient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) were detected. The mRNA and protein expressions of interleukin-21 (IL-21) in Peyer’s patches (PPs) were detected by lfuorescent quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blot respectively. The protein expression of Bcl-6 was detected by western blot. The percentages of Tfh cells/T lymphocytes, B220+IgM+/B lympho-cytes, B220+IgA+/B lymphocytes, B220-IgA+/B lymphocytes in PPs were determined by lfow cytometry. Results Compared with control group, the levels of 24 hour urine protein, FGF23 and Gd-IgA1 were increased, serum 25(OH)D was decreased, the mRNA and protein expressions of IL-21 and the protein level of Bcl-6 were increased, the percentages of Tfh cells/T lym-phocytes, B220+IgM+/B lymphocytes, B220+IgA+/B lymphocytes, B220-IgA+/B lymphocytes were elevated in IgAN group (P<0.05). These indicators were improved in IgAN+VitD group. Compared with the IgAN group, the differences were statisti-cally signiifcant (P<0.05), however compared with control group, some indicators showed no signiifcant differences (P>0.05). Conclusions 1,25(OH)2D may protect the microenvironment of PPs in IgAN through inhibiting the differentiation of Tfh cells and B cells and the generation of Gd-IgA1.

Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) infection is dependent on the functions of structural glycoproteins at multiple stages of the viral life cycle. These proteins mediate the initial attachment and fusion events that occur between the viral envelope and a host cell membrane, as well as cell to cell spread of the virus. To characterize the HHV-7 glycoproteins that can mediate cell fusion, a cell-based fusion assay was used. 293T cells expressing the HHV-7 glycoproteins of interest along with a luciferase reporter gene under the control of the T7 promoter were cocultivated with SupT1 cells transfected with T7 RNA polymerase. HHV-7 glycoproteins gB, gH, gL and gO can mediate the fusion of 293T cells with SupT1 cells, and the fusion can be inhibited by anti-CD4 mAbs. Thus, the coexpression of HHV-7 gB, gO, gH and gL is sufficient and necessary for HHV-7 induced membrane fusion, and one of these glycoproteins or protein complex formed by these glycoproteins might be the ligand(s) of CD4 molecule.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the roles of different housing environments in neurological function,cerebral metabolism,cerebral infarction and neuron apoptosis after focal cerebral ischemia.Twenty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control group (CG) and cerebral ischemia group,and the latter was further divided into subgroups of different housing conditions:standard environment (SE) subgroup,individual living environment (IE) subgroup,and enriched environment (EE) subgroup.Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).Beam walking test was used to quantify the changes of overall motor function.Cerebral infarction and cerebral metabolism were studied by in vivo magnetic resonance imaging and 1H-magnetic resonance spectra,respectively.Neuron necrosis and apoptosis were detected by hematoxylin-eosin and TUNEL staining methods,respectively.The results showed that performance on the beam-walk test was improved in EE subgroup when compared to SE subgroup and IE subgroup.Cerebral infarct volume in IE subgroup was significantly larger than that in SE subgroup (P＜0.05) and EE subgroup (P＜0.05) on day 14 after MCAO.NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr ratios were lower in MCAO groups under different housing conditions as compared to those in CG (P＜0.05).NAA/Cr ratio was lower in IE subgroup (P＜0.05) and higher in EE subgroup (P＜0.05) than that in SE subgroup.NAA/Cr ratio in EE was significantly higher than that in IE subgroup (P＜0.05).Cho/Cr ratio was decreased in MCAO groups as compared to that in CG (P＜0.05).A significant decrease in normal neurons in cerebral cortex was observed in MCAO groups as compared to CG (P＜0.05).The amount of normal neurons was less in IE subgroup (P＜0.05),and more in EE subgroup (P＜0.05) than that in SE subgroup after MCAO.The amount of normal neurons in EE subgroup was significantly more than that in IE subgroup after MCAO (P＜0.05).The ratio of TUNEL-positive neurons in EE was significantly lower than that in SE subgroup (P＜0.05) and IE subgroup (P＜0.05).Correlation analysis showed that the beam walking test was negatively correlated with NAA/Cr ratio (P＜0.05).Cerebral infarct volume was negatively correlated with both NAA/Cr ratio (P＜0.01) and Cho/Cr ratio (P＜0.01).The amount of normal cortical neurons was positively correlated with both NAA/Cr ratio (P＜0.01) and Cho/Cr ratio (P＜0.05).The TUNEL-positive neurons showed a negative correlation with both NAA/Cr ratio (P＜0.01) and Cho/Cr ratio (P＜0.01).This study goes further to show that EE may improve neurological functional deficit and cerebral metabolism,decrease cerebral infarct volume,neuron necrosis and apoptosis,while IE may aggravate brain damage after MCAO.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the mortality and morbility of children with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) following treatment with decompressive craniectomy and further analyze its long-term outcomes.Methods Seventeen children with sTBI undergone decompressive craniectomy between 2004 and 2010 were retrospectively studied.Quality of life of the patients who survived the operation was assessed by using the King' s outcome scale for childhood head injury (KOSCHI).ResultsOf 17 children with sTBI,the mean preoperative Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score was 5.27.Five children (29％) died postoperatively,of whom three children were died of cerebral infarction.Twelve children who survived the operation were followed up for average 4.6 years,which showed the mean KOSCHI score of 4.75.Among the 12 survivors,five patients (42％) experienced posttraumatic shunt-dependent hydrocephalus and four (33％) suffered ipsilateral and/or contralateral hygroma.ConclusionsAlthough a high mortality rate is observed in the children with sTBI after decompressive craniectomy,the survived patients have satisfactory outcomes. Posttraumatic hydrocephalus and hygroma are two common complications after decompressive craniectomy for children with sTBI.

Objective To discuss the characteristics and clinical results of rotating platform high flexion(RDHF)total knee replacement TKR. Methods A total of 61 patients(78 knees)including 13males(15 knees)and 48 females(63 knees)at age range of45-79 years(mean 64.3 years)were treated with Sigma(RP-HF)rotating platform high flexion total knee replacement.Osteoarthritis was found in 56patients and rheumatoid arthritis in 5.By medial parapatella approach,denervation and facet repair of the patella were done,without replacing them. Results All 78 knees were followed up for 3-16 months (mean 10.5 months).the X-ray film demonstrated no prosthesis loosening,patella dislocation or subluxation.According to the knee society scoring system,the preoperative score was 48 points(33-72 points)and the knee functional score was 41 points(28-63 points)on average.After surgery,the knee score was 97points(88-100 points),the functional score 96 points(84-99 points),and the range of motion(ROM)130.(110.-150.)on average.No spin-out or infection were detected. Conclusions The Sigma RP-HF knee system provides sufficient contact area.full range of patella locus and sufficient axial rotation,which helps reach a stable and durable high flexion performance.Our short-term clinical follow up result is good but the advantages of low wear and longevity of the Sigma RP-HF prosthesis still need further study.

Aim To investigate the brain targeting of ginkgolide B prodrug (PGB ) and its mechanism. Methods The liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS /MS)method was applied to in-vestigate the pharmacokinetics of PGB in rat brain tis-sue after intravenous injection of PGB.Also the brain targeting was evaluated on the basis of the pharmacoki-netic parameter of PGB.The incomplete cerebral is-chemia model was induced in mouse,the effect of PGB on cerebral capillary permeability was observed by Ev-ans blue method.High performance liquid chromatog-raphy (HPLC)was used to determine the partition co-efficients (logP)of PGB in octanol-water system.PGB and P-glycoprotein (P-gp)was docked by using Mole-gro Virtual Docker (MVD)software to predict its bind-ing abilities with P-gp.The interaction of PGB with ATPase activity of human P-gp membrane was esti-mated by measuring inorganic phosphate liberation. Results The brain targeting of PGB was evaluated by treatment effective (TA ) and drug targeting index (DTI),the calculated value were 6.87 and 4.1 4 re-spectively.Preventive medication of PGB could signifi-cantly decrease cerebral capillary permeability (P <0.05).The lipo-hydropartition coefficient of PGB was higher than that of GB,their logP data were 1 .03 and 0.61 respectively.PGB displayed the stronger binding affinity with P-gp than GB according to the molecular docking calculations,their MolDock Score toward P-gp were -1 43.36 and -1 1 6.40KJ·mol -1 respectively. ATP-hydrolisis showed that PGB increased ATPase activity with a Km of approximately 237.75 μmol · L -1 ,however GB with a Km of approximately 841 .24μmol·L -1 .PGB might interact with P-gp with a high-er affinity and exhibit more effect than GB.Conclu-sion PGB is characterized by its brain targeting. Higher liposolubility of PGB results in good blood-brain permeability,which is advantageous to its brain targe-ting.Besides,PGB can effectively inhibit the efflux effect of P-gp to GB because of its increased P-gp AT-Pase activity.

Polymeric micelles have exhibited attractive properties as drug carriers, such as high stability in vivo and good biocompatibility, and been successfully used to dissolve various drugs of poor aqueous solubilities. In this study, we developed a new type of polymeric micelles with mannose-mediated targeting and pH-responsive drug release properties for anticancer drug delivery. The polymeric micelles were prepared from an amphiphilic polymer, poly (glycidyl methacrylate)-g-mannose (PGMA-Mannose). An anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX), was encapsulated into the micelles during the micellization, and could be released rapidly under acidic condition. The specificity of cellular uptake of the micelles by two different cell lines was studied using confocal laser scanning microscopy and the MTT assay. DOX-loaded micelles were efficiently trapped by mannose-receptor-overexpressing cancer cells MDA-MB-231, whereas mannose- receptor-poor cells HEK293 showed much lower endocytosis towards the micelles under the same conditions. Thus, DOX-loaded micelles displayed higher cytotoxicity to MDA-MB-231 cancer cells as compared with free DOX. The present study demonstrates that PGMA-Mannose micelles are a promising targeted drug delivery system for cancer therapy.

Objectives To study the protective effects of vitamin D (VitD) on podocyte insulin resistance and its mecha-nisms. Methods Immortalized mouse podocytes in vitro were randomly divided into 4 groups:podocytes+5 mmol/L glucose group (group A);podocytes+5 mmol/L glucose+1 nmol/L propylene glycol group (group B);podocytes+30 mmol/L glucose+1 nmol/L propylene glycol group (group C); podocytes+30 mmol/L glucose+1 nmol/L propylene glycol+1 nmol/L VitD group (group D). The percentage of podocyte apoptosis was determined after 48 h of incubation. Podocyte viability was assessed by MTT assay. The mRNA expressions of vitamin D receptor (VDR) and insulin receptor substrate protein 1 (IRS1) in podocyte were detected by RT-PCR. Western blot analysis was performed to measure the protein levels of p-IRS1/IRS, p-Akt/Akt and p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2. Results There were significant differences in apoptosis percentage, viability and the expression of VDR, IRS1, p-ERK1/2 of podoctyes(P<0.05)among 4 groups. There was no difference in p-Akt/Akt expression among 4 groups(P>0.05). Compared with group A, B , and D, the percentage of podocyte apoptosis in group C was significantly increased, the cell viabi-lity was decreased, the expressions of VDR and IRS1 mRNA and p-IRS1 and p-Akt proteins were down-regulated, whereas p-ERK1/2 was up-regulated in group C. The levels of p-IRS1/IRS1, p-Akt/Akt, p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2 had no statistical differences in group A, B, and D (P>0.05). Conclusions VitD-VDR system alleviates podocyte apoptosis induced by high glucose, and acti-vates insulin signaling pathway and counteracts insulin resistance signal to improve podocyte insulin resistance.
