In recent years,T helper cell 17(Th17),regulatory T cell(Treg) and podocyte injury attrac-ted widespread attention in the pathogenesis of primary glomerular disease. Th17 cells have the function of re-cruiting neutrophils and macrophages to the infected tissue through the secretion of cytokines such as IL-17. Treg cells have immune function, mediated immune tolerance, protecting the body against inflammatory injury. The imbalance of Th17 cells increase and Treg cells decrease could play an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of primary glomerular disease. As the important part of the glomerular filtration barrier,podocyte be-comes the focus in recent years. Study on relationship among Th17,Treg,podocyte injury and primary glomeru-lar disease will provide more theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of primary glomerular disease.

BACKGROUND:Different sources of stem cells have different molecular characteristics and growth characteristics;therefore, there are some differences in therapeutic mechanisms and effects. OBJECTIVE:To compare mesenchymal stem cells growth characteristics form two sources. METHODS:Mesenchymal stem cells from the umbilical cord and the embryonic liver were isolated and cultured. Passage 5 cells were used to observe the cellmorphology, calculate the doubling time of cellpopulation-doubling time, identify surface markers and determine the differentiation capacity. Mesenchymal stem cells from the umbilical cord were subcultured to passages 10 and 15, and cellcurves were drawn and population doubling time was calculated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Mesenchymal stem cells from these two sources in logarithmic phase were fusiform and grew spiral y with osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic capacities. The growth curves of cells were both S-shaped. At passage 5, the doubling time was (34.37±0.31) hours for embryonic liver-derived mesenchymal stem cells and (35.63±0.38) hours for umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells, and there was no significant difference (P>0.05). However, the population doubling time of passages 10 and 15 umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells was (52.6±0.53) and (53.27±0.92) hours, respectively, which was significantly difference from that of passage 5 cells (P<0.05). The cellmorphology and growth curve from two sources are basical y the same. Embryonic liver-derived stem cells are smal er and proliferate faster than umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells, but no statistical difference is found between the two types.

Great changes in drug metabolizing enzyme (DME) expression occur in the fetus and child during development. Individual hepatic DME ontogeny can be categorized into one of three groups based on developmental trajectories.Some enzymes such as CYP3A7,are expressed at highest level in the fetus dur-ing the first trimester and either remain elevated or slightly de-crease during gestation,but are silenced or reduced to relatively low levels within one to two years after birth.SULT1 A1 is an ex-ample of the second group of DME.These enzymes are ex-pressed at relatively constant levels throughout gestation and into adulthood.CYP3A4 belongs to the third DME group .These en-zymes are expressed at negligible or low levels in the fetus.Sig-nificant increases in enzyme levels are exhibited within the first one to two years after birth.The epigenetic regulation refers to genomic modifications that do not involve changes in DNA se-quence and include DNA methylation,histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs.The epigenetic regulation mechanisms are responsible for the developmental expression of DME genes dur-ing liver maturation.This review will provide a summary of DME developmental expression profiles and reveal epigenetic mecha-nisms underlying variable drug metabolism and drug response. Thus,knowledge regarding DME ontogeny has permitted im-proved capability to predict drug disposition in pediatric pa-tients,which is crucial for improving drug dosing leading to opti-mal safety and efficacy in children.

Objective To study the changes in heme oxygenase-1/endogenous carbon monoxide system in rabbit aorta with atherosclerosis induced by high cholesterol diet, and the influence of the system on the atherosclerotic process. Methods Rabbits were given 1.5% cholesterol diet (Ch group, n=8) or 1.5% cholesterol diet plus hemin(15mg?kg~ -1 ?d~ -1 , ip., Hm group, n=8) or zincprotoporphyrin IX (Znpp-IX,45?mol?kg~ -1 ?d~ -1 , ip., Zn group, n=8).After 12 weeks,serum lipids and total bilirubin, aortic CO protduction and HO activity were assessed, the area of atherosclerotic plaques in aorta were measured by oil-red-O staining and image analysis software. Results Compared with control group (C group, n=8), aortic HO activity and CO production were higher significantly, and the aortic plaques area was (54.00?4.16)% in Ch group. Znpp-IX injection markedly decreased aortic HO-1 activity and CO production, the aortic plaques area was (61.13?3.50)%. Compared with Ch group, hemin injection increased markedly not only serum total bilirubin concentration, but also aortic HO activity and CO production, and the aortic plaques area was (17.88?3.01)%. Conclusion The HO-1/CO system may play a protective role against atherosclerosis. Enhancement of HO-1 activity is possibly the basic function of HO-1/CO system in prevention of atherosclerosis.

Objective To study clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) . Methods Clinical data and auxiliary examinations of eight patients with ABPA were analyzed, as well as relevant literatures were reviewed. Results All patients had symptom of cough, expectoration, out of breath and wheezing tale, seven of them with history of asthma, and all of them had increased peripheral blood eosinophil (EOS) count, serum levels of total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and lgE specific for Aspergillus fumigatus and showed positive prick test specific for Aspergillas fumigatus. Six of them showed infiltration shadows and six of them showed bronchiectasis in their chest CT images. Lung function test indicated obstructive ventilation dysfunction or mixed ventilation dysfunction with reversible airflow obstruction after administration of bronchodilator. Conclusions Diagnosis for ABPA should be made by integration of clinical features, increased blood eosinophil count and serum level of IgE, and result of prick test specific for Aspergillus fumigatus. Corticosteroid is a mainstay therapy for ABPA, ancillary with anti-fungi therapy. Patients with ABPA should be followed-up to prevent its recurrence.
