Objective To explore the effects and mechanism of atrovastatin on the expression of the NF-κB in renal tissues of diabetic rats.Methods A total of 60 male SD rats was randomly taken out 40 rats to make diabetic model by injection of 65mg streptozotoein (STZ) into enterocoelia,the rest of 20 rats were normal control group.After the model made,atrovastatin (2 mg/kg/d) was given to the treated group,and the normal control group and diabetic rats without treatment group were given equivalent water.After 12 weeks,the rats were killed.Total RNA of the renal tissues was isolated from one kidney for each rat,and the renal tissues from the another kidney was prepared for immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis.The NF-κB mRNA expressions among three groups were determined by RT-PCR.The distribution of NF-κB in the renal tissues was observed,and compared its difference among three groups.ResultsPCR showed that NF-κB mRNA was increased in the renal tissues of diabetic rats compared to control rats ( P < 0.05 ).Drug-treated rats showed significantly decreased levels of NF-κB mRNA in the renal tissues compared to the untreated diabetic group( P <0.05).The results were also observed in protein lelel of NF-κB expression.IHC showed that there existed positive cells in the glomerular and renal tubulointerstitum.Conclusions Atrovastatin can down-regulate the expression of NF-κB and suppress the increased level of NF-κB protein in the renal tissue of diabetic rats,and slow the progress of retinopathy.

Objective To evaluate MRI measurement of basal ganglia volumes in patients with Tourette's syndrome.Methods Ten patients with Tourette's syndrome(TS)and 10 healthy volunteers were studied.Volumes of bilateral candate,putamen and pallidum were measured,and the results were analyzed using paired t test.The basal ganglia volume was normalized according to individual brain volume.The basal ganglia volumes of TS patients were compared with normal control group using independent-sample t tesL Results In 10 healthy volunteers,volumes of the left caudate,putamen,pallidum were significantly larger compared with those of the right side(P<0.05).However,there were no significant differenees between bilateral basal ganglia volumes(P>0.05)in TS patients.After normalized processing,the volumes oftlle left candate(7.06±0.48)cm3,putamen(8.81 ± 1.01)cm3,pallidum(2.64 ± 0.38)cm3were smaller than those of control group[caudate(11.05±1.86)cm3,putamen(9.97 ±1.11 ) cm3, paUidum (3.04 ± 0.37 ) cm3 ] (t= - 6.577, - 2.457, - 2.376, P<0.05 ).The volume of the right caudate (7.32 ± 0.26) em3 in "IS patients was significantly smaller compared with the control group (9.81±1.83) cm3 (t = -4.258, P <0.01 ).However, the volumes of the right putamen and pallidum had no significant difference between two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion The basal ganglia volumes were significantly decreased in patients with TS.MRI volumetric measurement was an important tool for evaluating pathologic changes of TS.

Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2018;31(3):318-322
Betatrophin is a new kind of secretory glycoprotein,which belongs to the angiopoietin like protein family.It ex-pressed in liver and adipose tissue,and their expression level are affected by age,gender and thyroid hormone. The active mechanism of Betatrophin mechanism is still unclear. It plays an important role in the islet beta cell proliferation and in the lipid metabolism. In this paper,we mainly focus on the structure of betatrophin and the related research on blood glucose and lipid,metabolic syndrome and nonalcoholic fatty liver in recent years.

OBJECTIVETo compare the effects of olecranon plate and tension band in the treatment of olecranon fracture.
METHODSSixty-three patients with olecranon fracture were treated with olecranon plate and tension band. Thirty-five patients (21 male and 14 female, aged from 15 to 62 years, with an average of 48.9 years) were involved in tension band group and 28 patients (20 male and 8 female, aged from 25 to 67 years, with an average of 50.6 years)were involved in plate group. According to the Delee, JC classification in 1984, there were type 1A in 5 cases, type 1B in 8 cases, type 2 in 17 cases, type 3 in 7 cases and type 4 in 1 case in tension band group; there were type 1A in 3 cases, type 1B in 5 cases, type 2 in 6 cases, type 3 in 11 cases and type 4 in 3 cases in plate group.
RESULTSSixty-three cases were all followed up from 6 to 15 months. According to the criterion of PANG Gui-gen, the results were excellent in 20 cases, good in 7 cases, fair in 1 case and no bad in plate group; the results were excellent in 23 cases, good in 10 cases, fair in 21 case and no bad in tension band group. The therapeutic effect of two groups has no significantly statistic difference.
CONCLUSIONBoth olecranon plate and tension band are the effective treatments for olecranon fracture. The selection of two methods should depend on to the state of fracture.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of atorvastatin on parathyroid hormone 1-34 (PTH1-34) induced neonatal rat cardiomyocytes hypertrophy and on the expression changes of small GTP-binding protein (K-Ras) and extracellular signal regulated protein kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2).
METHODSNeonatal rat cardiomyocytes hypertrophy was established with 10(-7) mol/L rPTH1-34 in the presence or absence of 10(-5) mol/L atorvastatin or 10(-4) mol/L mevalonic acid (MVA). Cardiomyocyte diameter was measured by Motic Images Advanced 3.0 software, the synthetic rate of protein in cardiomyocytes was determined by (3)H-leucine incorporation and single-cell protein content was measured by BCA. The concentration of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were determined by ELISA. Protein expression of ERK1/2, p-ERK1/2 and K-Ras was detected by Western blot.
RESULTSCompared to PTH1-34 group, cellular diameter was decreased 12.07 µm, (3)H-leucine incorporation decreased 1622 cpm/well and single-cell protein content decreased 84.34 pg, ANP or BNP concentration reduced 7.13 µg/L or 20.04 µg/L, protein expression of K-Ras, ERK1/2 or p-ERK1/2 downregulated 0.81, 0.19 and 1.44 fold, respectively, in PTH1-34 plus atrovastatin co-treated cardiomyocytes (all P < 0.05). Compared to PTH1-34 plus atrovastatin co-treated group, cardiomyocyte diameter increased 4.95 µm, (3)H-leucine incorporation increased 750 cpm/well and single-cell protein content increased 49.08 pg, ANP or BNP increased 3.12 µg/L or 9.35 µg/L and protein expression of K-Ras, ERK1/2 or p-ERK1/2 upregulated 0.52, 0.06 and 1.19 fold (all P < 0.05) in MVA, PTH1-34 and atrovastatin co-treated cardiomyocytes.
CONCLUSIONSAtrovastatin attenuates PTH1-34 induced neonatal rat cardiomyocytes hypertrophy through downregulating K-Ras and ERK1/2 pathway.
