Objective: To study the effect of catch up growth after semistarvation on insulin resistance in rats. Methods: Wistar rats (n=40) were randomly divided into 5 groups: normal chow group (NC given diet with 18.94% of calories as fat for 12 w); high fat group (HF, given diet with 50.55% of calories as fat for 12 w); food restriction group (FR, 50% of their normal spontaneous food for 4 w); refeeding normal chow group (RN, after 4 w semistarvation, given normal diet for another 8 w ); refeeding high fat diet group (RH, after 4 w semistavation, given high fat diet for 8 w). Changes of body weight, height, and food intake were recorded. At the end of experiment, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMAIR), the rate of abdominal fat (including perirenal fat and epididymal fat) vs weight, plasm protein, blood lipid (including total cholesterol and triglyceride) were detected. Results: There were 82.5% rats getting catch-up growth in refeeding groups. Body weight of both refeeding groups could not catch that of NC group, but the rate of visceral fat vs weight was higher than that of NC group, and this rate of RH group was close to that of HF group. The changes of visceral fat vs body weight were consistent with that of TG levels. All nutritional status except high fat diet could not influence total cholesterol levels. RH and RN group’s HOMAIR were higher than those of NC group and HF group. All groups have similar fastingglucose levels. Conclusion: Catch-up growth can induce insulin resistance, but is not consistent with fat accumulation and hypertriglyceridemia in rats.

AIM: To study the effect of calories restriction on endoplasmic reticulum(ER) chaperone protein 78-kD glucose regulated protein(GRP78) mRNA expression in the liver of high fat diet rats,in order to explore the mechanism of how calories restriction improves insulin resistance.METHODS: Wistar rats(n=24) were randomly divided into 3 groups: normal chow(NC) group,was fed free normal chow(18.94% of calories as fat) for 12 weeks;high fat group(HF) was fed high fat diet(50.55% of calories as fat) for 12 weeks;calories restriction group(CR) was fed high fat diet for 8 weeks at first,then given 50% of diet consumed by the same age NC group.Changes of body weight,height,and food intake were recorded.At the end of experiment,HOMAIR,the rate of visceral fat(including perirenal fat and epididymal fat) vs weight,plasma protein,blood lipid(including total cholesterol and triglyceride),hepatic GRP78 mRNA and hepatic histological changes(including light microscopic studies and electron microscopic studies) were detected.RESULTS:(1) Animals in HF group had an obviously elevation of fasting insulin(27.51?3.51) mU/L vs(15.46?2.25) mU/L,triglyceride(1.35?0.25) mmol/L vs(0.67?0.10) mmol/L,total cholesterol(2.59?0.34) mmol/L vs(1.41?0.28) mmol/L and insulin resistance index HOMAIR(5.85?0.23 vs 2.85?0.60) compared with NC group,and also had obviously lipid accumulations in the liver.(2) After calories restriction,all the abnormal elevated biochemical indicators were decreased to normal levels,the hepatic lipid accumulations were also improved.(3) The changes of liver ultrastructure in HF group showed rough endoplasmic reticulum enlargement,fragmentation,taking off grain,and with glycogen solution.The changes in CR group were nearly the same as those in NC group.(4) High fat diet induced the expression of GRP78 mRNA, calories restriction might reverse it.CONCLUSION: Reasonable food calories restriction is a good method to improve insulin resistance,partly due to improvement of endoplasmic reticulum stress in liver.

Objective To establish a CLCN3/MMTV-PyMT double transgenic mouse model of spontaneous breast tumor with simultaneously overexpressing ClC-3.Method CLCN3 transgenic mice were crossed with MMTV-PyMT spon-taneous mammary tumor model mice.The genotype was determined by PCR.The expression of ClC-3 in tissues was detec-ted by immunofluorescence and Western blot.Results CLCN3 and MMTV-PyMT transgenic mice were bred and CLCN3/MMTV-PyMT hybrid mouse model was successfully established.The ClC-3 expression in CLCN3/MMTV-PyMT hybrid mice was higher than that in the MMTV-PyMT mice, assessed by immunofluorescence and Western blot analysis.Conclu-sions Transgenic mouse models of spontaneous breast cancer with simultaneously overexpressing ClC-3 are successfully es-tablished.The double transgenic mice provide a good animal model for further research of ClC-3 in tumor growth and metas-tasis.

Objective To analyze the application of clinicopathological features and LEF-1 in the diagnosis of solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN).Methods Clinical and pathological data of 227 cases who were pathologically diagnosed as pancreatic SPN at Changhai Hospital from Jan 2000 to Dec 2015 were collected and analyzed.Immunochemical assay was used to detect the expression of LEF-1 in 132 cases of SPN, and the results were compared with β-catenin, which is most commonly used for diagnosing SPN.Results 81.9% of patients with SPN were female (186/227).Mean age at the onset was 34 years.Mean tumor size was 5.4 cm.48.5% tumors were localized in the pancreatic tail, and 33% in the head.46.3% tumors were cystic and solid, 42.3% were solid, and 11.4% were cystic.There were 2 cases of lymph node metastasis (0.9%), 15 cases of vascular tumor thrombus (6.6%), 14 cases of nerve invasion (6.2%), and 13 cases of adjacent organs invasion (5.7%) based on microscopic observations.Immunochemical analysis showed that 130 of 132 cases with SPN expressed LEF-1 with strong nuclear positivity, and the positivity rate was 98.5%.But no obvious expression of LEF-1 can be seen in normal pancreatic tissue and other pancreatic tumors.The specificity was 100%.The positivity of β-catenin expression in SPN was 96.6%(144/149), and β-catenin was positively expressed in only one case of acinar cell carcinoma.Tumors were completely removed by surgery in 165 cases, and the median follow-up was 51 months.By Oct 31, 2016, 162 patients (98.2%) survived, 5 had liver metastasis, and 1 had recurrence.Conclusions SPN is predominantly encountered in young female patients, and the clinical manifestations are not specific.LEF-1 can be used as a specific marker for the diagnosis and differentiation of SPN, which is more accurate than β-catenin.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of risedronate sodium in treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis, one-year randomized, double blind clinical trial was performed among 54 women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. The changes were compared in bone mineral density (BMD), bone metabolism markers and adverse events after 12 months oral administration of risedronate sodium. BMD was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptionmetry (DEXA) and bone turnover marker was detected. The results showed that there was a significant increase in BMD of the lumbar spine (3.29% +/- 1.18%, 4.51% +/- 1.64% respectively) after 6 and 12 months in the risedronate treatment group versus placebo control group (-0.62% +/- 0.24%, 0.48% +/- 0.18% respectively). Bone turnover was decreased to a stable nadir over 6 and 12 months for resorption markers [N-Telopeptide (NTx), P < 0.05] and over 12 months for formation marker (ALP, P < 0.05; BGP, P < 0.05). The safety profile of risedronate sodium was similar to that of placebo. There were no trends toward increased frequency of any adverse experience except for gastrointestinal symptoms (7.1%), rash (7.1%) and hematuria (3.6%), which were usually mild, transient, and resolved with continued treatment. It was concluded that risedronate was an efficacious and safe drug in treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Wistar rats(n=24) were divided into normal control group(NC), food restriction group(FR), and catch-up group(RN). Serum glucose,lipids, gastrin, the ratio of visceral fat to body fat, adipocyte CCK2R mRNA and protein levels were determined. Compared with NC group, FR rats had lower serum gastrin and visceral fat formation. The adipocyte CCK2R mRNA and protein levels of FR rats were lower than those of NC rats. Serum gastrin level of RN rats was higher than those of FR and NC rats(P＜0.05). The ratio of visceral fat to body fat in RN rats increased compared with FR rats and was close to that of NC rats. The adipocyte CCK2R mRNA and protein levels of RN rats were higher than those of FR and NC rats. Gastrin and its receptor pathway possibly play a role in the mechanism of visceral fat accumulation in catch-up rats.

Cultured primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were divided into 4 groups:normal control( NG ),persistent high glucose ( HG ),hyperglycemia group ( TG ),and mannitol control ( MA )groups.After 1,4,and 7 days of culture,cells were collected.Cell proliferation,cell apoptosis,ROS,SOD,MDA,and NO level,eNOS mRNA and protein level were measured.Endothelial cell proliferation was inhibited in HG,TG,and MA groups compared with NG group.Hyperglycemia memory induced apoptosis of endothelial cells,increased ROS and MDA generation,and down-regulated intracellular SOD level,findings similar to those in HG group.After 24 h of culturing,eNOS expression and NO generation in both HG and TG groups were higher than those in NG group.However,after 7 days of culturing,eNOS expression and NO generation in both HG and TG groups were lower than those in NG group.These results suggest that in hyperglycemia memory cell model,transient hyperglysemia may lead to persistent imbalance in oxidative stress and reduce endothelium-derived relaxing factor NO level,indicating that hyperglycemia memory may play an important role in persistent vascular endothelial cell injury.

Objective To investigate a possible association of donor-recipient compatibility for ABO blood group alleles with acute rejection (AR) in renal transplantation. Methods A study comprising 87 pairs of donor and recipient was performed. The ABO genotype A1, A2, O1, O2, and B alleles of renal transplanted recipients and their respective donors were assessed by PCR amplification with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP). Accordingly, recipients were divided into donor-recipient ABO genotype matched and mismatched groups. Results The PCR-SSP based types of all cases showed total concordance with their serologically assigned ABO groups. Fifty pairs (57. 5%) were matched for ABO genotype among the 87 pairs of donor and recipient while 37 (42. 5%) were mismatched, including 1 allele mismatch in 31 pairs (83.8%), 2 alleles mismatches in 6 pairs (16. 2%).The incidence of AR was 12.0% (6 cases) and 29. 7% (11 cases) for ABO genotype matched and mismatched transplant patients, respectively ( P ＜ 0.05). After high dose methylprednisolone (MP)treatment, all cases exepienced reversion of AR except a A2O1 recipient receiving kidney from a A1O1enced 4 AR episodes within 3-10 months, and the period of AR was gradually shortened. After high dose MP was administered empirically, even though short-term improvement of renal function was observed, the serum creatinine continued to increase progressively with decreased efficacy of high dose MP. One year after operation the serum creatinine rose to 441 μmol/L. Conclusions Simultaneous definition of the ABO genotype and HLA is highly feasible. The A2 patient is suitable for receiving kidneys from blood group O donors. DNA mismatch for ABO genotype of renal transplant recipients and their respective donors is an independent risk factor for AR. Genotyping of ABO blood group is conducive to prevent AR.
