The effects of mycophenolic acid (MPA) on high glucose-induced expression of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in mesangial cells (MC) were investigated. Rat MC were cultured in the presence of different concentrations of MPA (1.0 and 10.0 micromol/L) or MPA plus high glucose for 72 h. The expression of TGF-beta and CTGF was detected by Western blot. The results showed that high glucose could induce the expression of TGF-beta and CTGF in MC, but MPA could inhibit this effects. MPA did not influence the expression of TGF-beta and CTGF in normal glucose. It was concluded that MPA might prevent the progression of diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting the expression of TGF-beta and CTGF in MC.

AIM:To reveal the characteristics and patterns of mental activity in the cerebral cortex of patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and explore the pathogenetic characteristics of ADHD.METHODS: The ADHD patients were asked to record their mental activity, general health condition and obsessions before the onset of pathological symptoms by means of psychological introspective reports.RESULTS: The direct cause of attention distraction and failure of attention focus is the patients' inability to perform cognitive tasks (including perception, memory and recollection, imagination, association and thought)in a continuously ongoing manner in relaxation. The frequent stagnancy and pause during the course of recognition precipitated the patients in a stressful state, which contributed to the onset of various hyperactivities and also resulted in the acquisition of "silent verbal thinking". This is an important psychopathological phenomenon long been neglected. All theses abnormalities caused the patients much discomfort, which was naturally relieved by means of impulsive and irritable behaviors.CONCLUSION: A series of clinical symptoms of ADHD arises from the same pathogenic factor of difficulty in mental activity and inability to carry out the activities in the cerebral cortex in a relaxed manner. The difficulty in mental activity is the key problem of ADHD and the source of various synptoms, which should be ;reated for the first place. The cause of this key problem is possibly lowered metabolism of the cerebral cortex, and the effect of "instinct" can not be neglected in the attempt to explain the pathogenesis of ADHD.

Objective To describe the clinical features of invasive fungal disease in Huashan Hospital,Fudan University from January 2004 to December 2006.Methods The medical data were reviewed retrospectively for the patients with fungal infection, which was confirmed by positive fungal culture or microscopic examination with blood,sterile body fluid,deep tissue,sputum specimen or isolation of Aspergillus spp.and Cryptococcus spp.from bronchoalveolar lavage.The proven and probable cases of invasive fungal disease were included in this analysis.Results A total of 111 patients were diagnosed as invasive fungal dis-ease,including 104 proven cases and 7 probable cases.Sixty-one cases were community-acquired and the other 50 were nosoco-mial.The most common site of infection was bloodstream (51,45.9%),followed by central nervous system (44,39.6%)and respiratory system (14,12.6%).The most common pathogens were Candida spp.(50,45%),Cryptococcus (47,42.3%) and Aspergillus spp. (12, 10.8%). The community-acquired fungal infections were mostly found in central nervous system (44,72.1%),and respiratory system (12, 19.7%),mainly caused by Cryptococcus and Aspergillus. The nosocomial fungal infections occurred primarily in blood-stream (96.0%),mainly due to Candida spp.No underlying disease or risk factor was identified in more than half of the pa-tients with community-acquired infection,while almost all the patients with nosocomial fungal infection had underlying disease and predisposing factors.Indwelling venous catheter was closely associated with nosocomial bloodstream infection.Indwelling venous catheter lasted for more than 1 week in 64.7% of the patients with Candida bloodstream infection.The same fungal strain was isolated from both the cather and blood of the same patient in 11 cases.The overall mortality of these invasive fungal diseases was 14.4% (16/111).The mortality rate was 18.0% (9/50)in the patients with nosocomial invasive fungal infection, and 11.5% (7/61)in the patients with community-acquired invasive fungal infection.Conclusions The most common site of in-vasive fungal infection is bloodstream,followed by central nervous system,and respiratory system.Majority of the fungal patho-gens are Candida spp.,Cryptococcus and Aspergillus spp.The community-acquired invasive fungal disease is primarily meningitis caused by Cryptococcus.The nosocomial invasive fungal disease is mainly bloodstream infection caused by Candida spp.

Objective To study the efficacy and safety of different doses of caffeine citrate and aminophylline treatment for apnea of prematurity. Methods Preterm infants who met the inclusive criteria were admitted to NICU of JingZhou Central Hospital from October 1st, 2013 to October 1st, 2015. They were randomly assigned to three groups. Infants assigned to high dose caffeine group were received a loading dose of 40 mg / kg daily, followed by the maintaining dose of 20 mg / kg daily. Neonates in low dose caffeine group were administered with the loading dose of 20 mg / kg daily, followed by maintaining dose of 10 mg / kg daily. Infants in the aminophylline group received a loading dose of 5 mg / kg, then with maintaining dose of 2 mg / kg every 12 hours. Caffeine citrate or aminophylline therapy were continued until the infants were free from apnea for a period of 7 days or when the gestational age of 34 weeks were reached. Extubation failure rate, frequency of apnea, duration of apnea, mechanical ventilation, as well as oxygen therapy, length of hospital stay, mortality, and the adverse effects were compared among three groups. Results 90 infants were enrolled for study, with 30 in each group. Extubation failure rate, frequency of apnea, apnea duraion and oxygen therapy duration of infants in high dose caffeine groups were all significantly lower than those of infants in low dose caffeine group and aminophylline group (P < 0. 05). The incidence of tachycardia was significantly higher in the high dose caffeine group compared to the other two groups (P < 0. 05). Whereas all these factors between low dose caffeine group and aminophylline group were of no statistical difference (P > 0. 05). Duration of mechanical ventilation and CPAP, length of hospital stay, incidence of complications (BPD, ROP, IVH, PVL, NEC ), mortality were of no significant difference among three groups ( P > 0. 05 ) . Conclusions High dose caffeine therapy for apnea of prematurity is more effective in decreasing incidence of extubation failure and apnea, as well as decreasing duration of apnea and oxygen therapy. Tachycardia is the only adverse effect of high dose caffeine therapy discovered by this study.
