Journal of Chinese Physician 2015;17(1):33-36
Objective To investigate the expression of aquaporin-1 (AQP1) in human peritoneum and its effect on peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients with the different peritoneal transport characteristics.Methods Peritoneal biopsies were obtained from the PD patients (n =30) at catheter insertion.Western blot and immunohistochemical staining were used to investigate AQP1 expression in peritoneal tissues.After catheter insertion,4 week,peritoneal equilibrium test (PET) was used to decide peritoneal transport characteristics.Results Western blot revealed a major band at 28 kDa band.The expression of AQP1 index was 1.49 ±0.67 in the normal subjects,and 1.61 ±0.76 in the PD patients,and there was no significant difference.Positive deposition was distributed in mesothelial cells,endothelial cells of capillaries,and small veins.The index of AQP1 expression in endothelial cells of capillaries in normal subjects and PD patients were 2.12 ±0.18,and 2.50 ±0.81,respectively,and no significant difference was found.The index of AQP1 expression in mesothelial cells of capillaries in normal subjects and PD patients were 1.95 ± 0.67,and 2.23 ± 1.07,respectively,and no significant difference was found.Among PD patients,the level of AQP1 was significantly different.Conclusions The expression of AQP1 was different in the PD patients with different peritoneal transport characteristics.In the high and high average transport groups,the level of AQP1 was lower; the low transport group was higher.It reveals that AQP1 plays a role in the pathogenesis of transcellular water transport.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the preventive and therapeutic effects of Yishen Huanji Decoction (YSHJD), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on military overtraining-induced kidney injury in a rat model. METHODS: Thirty SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group, untreated group and YSHJD-treated group. The military overtraining-induced kidney injury in rats was established by forcing to run on the treadmill for 8 weeks. The rats in YSHJD-treated group were administered with YSHJD at the same time. The 24-hour urines were collected every weekend for detecting the contents of urinary sediment, 24-hour urine total protein, 24-hour urine albumin and activity of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG). The blood and renal tissues were collected after 8-week training, and the levels of serum urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (SCr) were detected. Angiotensin II (Ang II) was detected by radioimmunoassay and activity of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase in kidney was analyzed by chemical colorimetric method. RESULTS: Compared with the normal control group, after 8-week training, the contents of 24-hour urine protein, activities of NAG in urine, and the levels of BUN and SCr in rats in the untreated group and YSHJD-treated group were obviously increased (P<0.05), and these parameters of the YSHJD-treated group were lower than those of the untreated group (P<0.05). The contents of Ang II in blood plasma and kidney of rats in the untreated group and YSHJD-treated group were higher than those of the normal control group (P<0.05), and had no statistical difference between the untreated group and YSHJD-treated group. Compared with the normal control group, the activity of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase in kidney of rats in the untreated group was obviously decreased (P<0.05), and had no statistical difference between the normal control group and YSHJD-treated group. CONCLUSION: YSHJD can protect against military overtraining-induced kidney injury in rats by decreasing the contents of 24-hour urine protein, BUN and SCr, and the activity of NAG, and increasing the activity of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase.

Objective To study the experience of laparoscopic repair in gastric and duodenum perforation. Methods 35 patients with gastric and duodenum perforation were performed laparoscopic repair.Results 34 pati- ets with gastric and duodenum perforation were safely operated.1 case with perforation of gastric carcinoma was con- verted to open for radial gastrectomy.The mean time of hospitalization was 7.5 days.There was no intraoperative and postoperative complications.Pathological examination showed 4 patients with perforation of gastric ulcer and one with perforation of gastric carcinoma.Conclusion Laparoseopic repair was one of the safe,quick recovery and little suffering treatment for duodenum perforation.

Objective To investigate the effects of long-term high-fat diet and the modern lifestyle of more food and lack of exercise on insulin resistance and islet function. Methods 75 Wistar rats were feed by routine or high-fat diet for 11 months. Some of high-fat rats were induced to diabetic models by injecting 12mg/kg streptozotocin. Islet function was evaluated by intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test. Insulin sensitivity was detected by insulin tolerance test. Results Compared with control group, 2h blood glucose of high-fat group was elevated significantly. Fasting blood glucose of high-fat group was also elevated at eleventh month. Body weight of high-fat group was increased remarkably compared with control group, and the insulin sensitivity of high-fat group was decreased by 50% at forth month. Then insulin sensitivity of both groups was declined greatly. Hypoglycemic effect of 0.5 U/kg insulin at ninth month was similar to that of 0.1U/kg insulin at forth month. Furthermore, no significant difference of insulin sensitivity was observed between high-fat group and control. Conclusions Main course for insulin resistance is the modern lifestyle of more food and lack of exercise. The main effect of high-fat diet on the occurrence of diabetes is damaging islet function.

G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) have a marked mediating effect on bodily immunoregulation. Recent years’ studies found that GPCRs plays an important role in the mechanism of the intervening effect of electroacupuncture on rheumatoid arthritis pain. Of them, adrenergic receptors, 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors, adenosine receptors, opioid peptide receptors, dopamine receptors and cannabinoid receptors separately mediate the effect of electroacupuncture on rheumatoid arthritis pain in the central and peripheral nervous systems and the inflammatory region. The exploration of the mechanism by which electroacupuncture increases GPCRs expression is our future research direction.

Objective To evaluate the features of solid-pseudopapiHary tumors of pancreas (SPTP),and to compare with the clinical and pathological findings in order to improve the diagnostic accura-cy.Methods The CT appearances were analyzed retrospectively in 5 patients with pathologically proven SPTP.There were 4 women and 1 man,with the mean age of(16.20±7.49)years.Plain CT and contrasted CT were performed in all 5 cases.Results The tumors of 4 caseswerelocatedinthe head and neck of pan-creats and 1 case was in the body and tail of pancreas.Clear tumor margins were seen in all cases.The mean diameter of these tumors was 5.2 cm(3.0-9.0 cm).Two cases were predominantly composed of cystic por-tions,2 cases were mainly composed of solid portions,and 1 case was composed of similar proportions of solid and cystic portions.Inhomogeneous enhancement Was rewealed in contrasted CT scan,but Was lower in both phase than normal pancreas.Tumor border discontinuous ring-shape calcification was seen in 1 case,dilata-tion of the main pancreatic duct Was demonstrated in 1 case and no metastasis were seen.Conclusions Certain CT features may suggest the diagnosis of SPTP.CT combined with the clinical feature is helpful to the diagnosis.

Objective To study the preventive and therapeutic effects of losartan and vitamin E on kidney injury induced by overtraining in a rat model. Methods Forty SD male rats were randomly divided into four groups (10 each): control group, model group, losartan group and vitamin E group. Rats in control group were fed with conventional diet. Rats in other three groups were forced to run on the treadmill for 8 weeks, once a day for 20 minutes and 5 days for each week, till exhaustion to induce the kidney injury. Rats in losartan group and vitamin E group were gavaged either with losartan or vitamin E everyday. Urine was collected at the end af each week, urine protein and N-acety-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) were detormined, and the serum urea nitrogen, creatinine (SCr), angiotensin Ⅱ, Na+-K+-ATP-ase activity in kidney were analyzed after 8 weeks' training. Results After 8 weeks' training, the urine protein, NAG in urine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), SCr were obviously increased in model group, losartan group and vitamin E group as compared with that in control group, while those in model group were higher than that in losartan group and vitamin E group (P0.05). Na+-K+-ATP-ase activity of renal tissue were obvionsly lower in model group and losartan group than that in control group and vitamin E group (P
