1.Treatment of Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura nephritis in children
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2014;29(17):1287-1290
Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura(HSP) is one of the most common vasculitides in children with many manifestations including skin purpura,arthritis,abdominal pain and renal involvement.The renal involvement(Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura nephritis,HSPN) is the principal cause of morbidity and major risk factor for prognosis in HSP.The paper reviewed the updated treatment strategy for HSPN.Accordingly,steroids,cyclophosphamide,mycophenolate mofetil,mizoribine,cyclosporine,triptolide,angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) / angiotensin receptor blockers(ARB),plasma apheresis and tonsillectomy are possible indicator for the further therapy of HSPN.Furthermore,prospective randomized controlled treatment studies on children with severe HSPN would be needed.
2.Review on Stem Cells Used on Heart Regeneration
Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2013;(11):1360-1362
[Objective] This article mainly discussed the potential of myocardial cellregeneration and the possible mechanisms involved. [Method] To study the mechanism of cardiac regeneration ability HSCs, this review studyed the relationship of the differentiation of cardiac stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, myocardial cells and myocardial regeneration and the possible mechanisms involved. [Result] Self-renewing, differentiation both in vitro and in vivo of the c-kit positive CSCs had been seen. No matter in physiological condition or after damage, the c-kit positive CSCs had clonality and the potential of multi-directional differentiation. Hematopoietic stem cells can generate cardiomyocytes and coronary blood vessels for human celltherapy. The ability of dedifferentiation cells to maintain and improve the ventricular function of a damaged heart is very limited. [Conclusion] CSCs and HSCs play an important role in reversing chronic ischemic and non-ischemic heart failure.

Objective To investigated the neuroprotective effect of PTEN inhibitor BPV on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and its mechanism. Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to induce a reperfusion model of middle cerebral artery occlusion for 1 h. During the reperfusion, the BPV solution (0. 2 mg/kg daily) or the equal volume of saline was injected intraperitonealy immediately. The neurological deficit scores were conducted at day 1, 3,5, and 7 after ischemia-reperfusion. At day 4, triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining was used to assess cerebral infarction volume. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of interleukin 10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α) in cortical ischemic border zones. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression level of PTEN mRNA. Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of PI3K, Akt, and p-GSK-3β. At day 7, Bielschowsky silver staining was used to detect the axonal distribution in the ischemic border zone of the striatum. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of myelin basic protein (MBP). Results At day 4 after ischemia-reperfusion, the infarct volume (32. 27% ± 1. 71% vs. 45. 49% ± 2. 12% ; P < 0. 001), TNF-α concentration in the cortical ischemic border zones (134. 17 ± 10. 38 pg/ml vs. 264. 17 ± 24. 84 pg/ml; P < ), and PTEN mRNA level (1. 19 ± 0. 08 vs. 2. 50 ± 0. 06; P < 0. 001) in the rats of the BPV group were al significantly lower than those of the normal saline group. The IL-10 concentration (186. 83 ± 10. 83 pg/ml vs. 147. 83 ± 11. 62 pg/ml; P < 0. 001), and the expression levels of PI3K (0. 43 ± 0. 08 vs. 0. 26 ± 0. 06; P = 0. 004), Akt (0. 52 ± 0. 05 vs. 0. 40 ± 0. 04;P = 0. 001), and p-GSK-3β (0. 75 ± 0. 08 vs. 0. 38 ± 0. 06; P < 0. 001) were al significantly higher than those of the normal saline group. At day 7 after ischemia-reperfusion, the neurological deficit score (4. 83 ± 0. 41 vs. 6. 33 ± 0. 52; P < 0. 001) in the rats of the BPV group was significantly lower than that of the normal saline group. The axon densities in the ischemic border zones (35. 51% ± 2. 45% vs. 25. 31% ± 2. 79% ; P < 0. 001) and the expression level of MBP (32. 56% ± 3. 46% vs. 27. 81% ± 4. 18% ; P = 0. 037) were significantly higher than those of the normal saline group. Conclusions BPV has neuroprotective effect for cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Its mechanism may be associated with the up-regulation of PTEN downstream proteins PI3K, Akt and p-GSK-3β expression to regulate inflammatory mediators and reduce the inflammatory response.

Although patients with intestinal polyposis are not usual in clinical at present,it is still difficult to make early diagnosis because of the lack of specific clinical manifestations So clinicians should know the etiology of intestinal polyposis progress,master the methods of early diagnosis,select the appropriate treatment and do the follow-up regularly,which may help improving the prognosis of patients and improving the quality of survival.Early detection,early diagnosis and early treatment can largely avoid possible malignant polyps cancerous changing,which may not only have a significant effect on the quality of patients'life,but also have great significance to alleviate the burden of the patient's family.
