Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common serious complications in critically ill patients, and it is an independent risk factor for death. In recent years, renal replacement therapy (RRT) has become one of the routine treatments for AKI patients, however there is no accepted consensus on the optimal timing of RRT over the world. This paper reviewed the clinical studies carried out by researchers in the field of critical care and nephrology, thereby summarized and analyzed the related parameters of the optimal time to carry out, with the exception of previously acknowledged classic RRT indications such as hyperkalemia, severe metabolic acidosis, volume overload and so on. The feasible parameters such as serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urine volume, the time admitted in the intensive care unit (ICU) and several standards distinguished AKI stages are discussed in order to find out the cutoff points of those parameters which were best for the patients' outcome, and to provide guidance of decision making for the optimal timing of RRT for AKI patients.

5.Differential expression of Ezrin in cervical cancer tissues and the relationship between Ezrin and PCNA, MMP-2, MMP-9, HPV
China Oncology 2013;(11):904-909
Background and purpose:Previous studies have revealed potential roles for Ezrin in a variety of cancers. Ezrin participates in several functions including cell adhesion, motility and cell survival, and there is increasing evidence that it regulates tumour progression. This study aimed to determine the differential expression of Ezrin between cervical cancer tissues and normal controls and to explore the association of Ezrin expression with clinical pathological characteristics and with the expression of PCNA, MMP-2, MMP-9 and HPV E6 protein. Methods:Retrospective study was performed among 30 cervical cancer tissue samples which were diagnosed in our hospital from Jan. 2002 to Dec. 2006. Ten normal cervixes from uterine myomas were employed as normal controls. Semi-quantitative immunohistochemisty analysis was performed to detect the association of Ezrin expression with clinical pathological characteristics, and with expression of PCNA, MMP-2 and MMP-9, HPV E6 protein in cervical cancer tissue and normal controls. Analyze the association of Ezrin expression with the clinical characteristics. Results:The expression of Ezrin was strong and the distribution was diffuse mainly in the cytoplasm and membrane in cervical cancer tissues, while the normal cervical tissues was weak and mainly in the membrane. However, there was no signiifcant association between the expression of Ezrin and the clinical characteristics including tumor stage, histology and grade. Ezrin expression was positively correlated with the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and HPV E6 protein in cervical cancer tissues, except PCNA. Conclusion:Ezrin was over-expressed in cervical cancer tissues and may be involved in the progress of invasion and metastasis in cervical cancer.

Objective To construct a new recombinant immunotoxin expression vector fused with a murine interleukin18(IL18) gene and a truncated pseudomonas exotoxin (PE38) gene, and examine the expression of IL-18-PE38 fusion protein in Escherichia coli (E. coli). Method Murine IL-18 (mIL-18) cDNA was cloned from murine liver tissue through reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The mIL-18 cDNA was ligased with a PE38 gene carried by PRKL expression vector through T4 DNA ligase and constructed into fusion protein expression plasmid PRKL-IL18-PE38. The recombinant vector was identified by restriction endonucleases digestion, PCR and DNA sequencing. After transformed into E.coli BL21 and induced by IPTG, the expressed product was obtained and the molecular weight and specificity were determined by SDS-PAGE and Western-blotting. Result The new recombinant immunotoxin expression vector was constructed successfully. DNA sequencing revealed that the mIL-18 and PE38 gene were consistent with NCBI Gene Bank. The IL-18-PE38 fusion protein was expressed in E.coli BL21, and Western-blotting analysis indicated that the molecular weight of the expression product is about 56 kDa, and could react with the specific antibody against mIL-18. Conclusion IL-18-PE38 recombinant immunotoxin expression vector will provide the basis for study on the targeted cytotoxic activity to Th1 cells and may have some potential value in the treatment of Th1 cell-mediated autoimmune diseases.

BACKGROUND:To design and fabricate a novel three-dimensional thermoresponsive polymer cel scaffold is one of the hot topics in the research of polymer science. OBJECTIVE: To prepare three different kinds of thermoresponsive acelular carriers and to evaluate their performance. METHODS:The copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide temperature acelular scaffold, macroporous copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide temperature acelular scaffold and macroporous copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide crosslinking aldehyde sodium alginate thermoresponsive acelular scaffold were prepared. The specific surface area, thermoresponsive performance, porosity, pore size and biocompatibility of these three groups of scaffolds were determined. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The specific surface area of copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide thermoresponsive acelular scaffold, macroporous copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide thermoresponsive acelular scaffold and macroporous copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide crosslinking aldehyde sodium alginate thermoresponsive celular scaffold was respectively 135, 386, 421 m2/g. The lower critical solution temperature was 30, 28.5, 29.5℃. The cel toxicity reaction was respectively grade 2, 2, 1. These indicators showed that the three kinds of scaffolds were provided with a temperature-sensitive characteristics and similar lower critical solution temperature. The biocompatibility of macroporous copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide crosslinking aldehyde sodium alginate thermoresponsive acelular scaffold was significantly better than the other two scaffolds. The porosity and pore size of macroporous copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide thermoresponsive acelular scaffold and macroporous copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide crosslinking aldehyde sodium alginate thermoresponsive acelular scaffold were greater than those of the copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide thermoresponsive acelular scaffold (P < 0.05). These results demonstrate that macroporous copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide thermoresponsive acelular scaffold and macroporous copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide crosslinking aldehyde sodium alginate thermoresponsive acelular scaffold have more obvious pore structure.

The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) VP22, is one of the most abundant HSV-1 tegument proteins with an average stoichiometry of 2 400 copies per virion and conserved among alphaherpesvirinae. Many functions are attributed to VP22, including nuclear localization, chromatin binding, microtubule binding, induction of microtubule reorganization, intercellular transport, interaction with cellular proteins, such as template activating factor I (TAF-I) and nonmuscle myosin II A (NMIIA), and viral proteins including tegument protein VP16, pUS9 and pUL46, glycoprotein E (gE) and gD. Recently, many novel functions performed by the HSV-1 VP22 protein have been shown, including promotion of protein synthesis at late times in infection, accumulation of a subset of viral mRNAs at early times in infection and possible transcriptional regulation function.
