Acta Anatomica Sinica 2002;0(06):-
Objective To observe whether laminin(LN) is expressed in the developing kidney of mouse and the changes of the expression associated with maturation and polarity. Methods Eight fetal and fourteen postnatal kidneys were examined by immunohistochemistry(Strepavidin Peroxidase conjugated method,SP),using polyclonal rabbit anti-mouse antibody. Results The expression of laminin in the kidneys increased with the gestational weeks of fetus and maturity of the kidney.The expression of laminin was positive in monocell,multicell without space and multicell with space.In the developing kidney,the laminin is expressed in the ureteric bud,glomerular basement membrane(GBM),tubular basement membrane(TBM),renal capsular basement membrane and interstitium.The expression of TBM was prior to the expression of GBM.Conclusion The expression of laminin in the developing kidney of mouse has chronological and spatial sequence.The laminin determines the polarity of cell.Laminin might play a key role during nephrogenesis.
2.The Expression of Metallothionein-1 in Mouse Kidney
Tianjin Medical Journal 2013;(8):793-795
Objective To investigate the expression and cellular localization of metallothionein-1 (MT-1) in mouse kidney. Methods The adult male CD-1 mice were selected as experimental animals. The protein of MT-1 in mouse renal cortex and medulla was detected by Western blot assay. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence methods were ap-plied to observe the location of MT-1 in renal tubules and collecting ducts of mouse kidney. Double-immunofluorescence and confocal laser scanning microscopy were used to observe the subcellular localization of MT-1 in the epithelial cells of re-nal tubules and collecting ducts of mouse kidney. Results The expression of MT-1 was detected in cortex and medulla of mouse kidney. The expression of MT-1was mainly found in proximal convoluted tubules and distal convoluted tubules of cor-tical labyrinth, and proximal straight tubules, distal straight tubules and collecting ducts of ray medullary and medulla of kid-ney. The strongest expression of MT-1 was found in proximal tubules, secondary in distal tubules and last in collecting ducts. The intracellular location of MT-1 was in brush border of proximal tubules and intracytoplasm, in the distal tubule epi-thelial cell cytoplasm and in the basolateral membranes of collecting duct epithelial cells. The subcellular localization was found in the lysosome. Conclusion The different locations of MT-1 expressed in proximal tubules, distal tubules and col-lecting ducts may determine different roles of them in kidney.

Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 1982;0(03):-
Objective To investigate the influence of neuro-specific DNA repair gene Nbn on the development of granular cells in hippocampus of monatal mouse. Methods The hippocampus development of postnatal mouse was evaluated by comparing the morphological differences of granular cells in hippocampus between the Nbn gene knockout mice (Nbn-CNS-Del) and the controls (Nbn-CNS-Ctr). Serial sections, immunohistochemistry and stereology methods were used to quantitatively analyze the development of granular cells in hippocampus of mice on the postnatal day 7, 14 and 21 (P7d, P14d and P21d). Results In Nbn-CNS-Ctr group, the granular layer in hippocampus manifested "C" in shape, the section area of granular layer was increased, and so was the cell body of granular cells in hippocampus during P7d to P21d; the inner arm granular cells in granular layer of hippocampus emerged on P7d, and most obvious changes occurred during P7d to P14d. While in Nbn-CNS-Del group, the granular layer in "C" shape were seen to form in most of the specimens during P7d to P21d, though they were sparsely distributed. Compared with that of the mice in Nbn-CNS-Ctr group, the development of granular layer in hippocampus of the mice in Nbn-CNS-Del group lagged obviously, and the sectional area of granular cells decreased significantly (P
4.EXPRESSION OF AQP-2 AND AQP-4 IN MOUSE KIDNEY DURING DEVELOPMENT AND MATURATION
Acta Anatomica Sinica 2002;0(05):-
Objective To observe the sites and relations of AQP-2 and AQP-4 in kidney during development and maturation, and discuss the roles of them. Methods Immunohistochemistry combined with stereological methods were used to observe and measure the expression of AQP-2 and AQP-4. Results AQP-2 was apparently noticed at the apical side and cytoplasm of principle cells in the collecting ducts. The expression of AQP-2 at the apical side increased from 17-fetuses to 1-day neonatal by stereology, but it hardly changed after 1-day neonatal. The expression of AQP-4 was faint at 14-day embryo and enhanced with age to reach a plateau at birth, and was not changed remarkably thereafter. The expression of AQP-4 was less than AQP-2 in every stage of kidney development. It was localized at the basolateral membrane of ureteric buds or collecting ducts.Conclusion We presume that AQPs are very important for balance of water during development and maturation in mice kidney, while AQP-4 is before birth, AQP-2 is after birth.
5.The study of association of serum uric acid level with left ventricular mass and QRS duration in patients with chronic heart failure
Journal of Chinese Physician 2017;19(5):721-724,728
Objective To investigate the association of serum uric acid (UA) level with ventricular hypertrophy,ventricular remodeling,and ventricular electromechanical activity dyssynchrony in patients with chronic heart failure by studying the correlation among left ventricular mass index (LVMI),QRS duration (QRSd) and UA.Methods Four hundred and fifty-three patients were selected in this study.Each patient received examinations of echocardiography,electrocardiogram (ECG),blood routine,and blood biochemistry.According to the different UA level,the patients were divided into group Ⅰ (UA≤360 μmol/ L),group Ⅱ (360 μmol/L < UA≤420 μmol/L),group Ⅲ (420 μmol/L < UA≤480 μmol/L),group Ⅳ (480 μmol/L < UA ≤540 μmol/L),and group Ⅴ (UA > 540 μmol/L).The differences in LVMI,QRSd,Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),and NYHA class among five groups were compared,and the correlation among LVMI,QRSd and UA were analyzed.Results According to the different UA,from groups Ⅰ to Ⅴ,with increase in UA,LVMI values increased,there was significant difference among five groups [(93.89 ±30.25) g/m2,(94.44 ±32.46) g/m2,(101.04 ± 37.22) g/m2,(124.39 ± 63.22)g/m2,and (133.51 ±41.85) g/m2,respectively] (F =17.501,P < 0.01).UA level correlated positively with LVMI (r =0.329 P <0.01).According to the different UA,from groups Ⅰ to Ⅴ,with increase in UA,QRSd prolonged,there was significant difference among five groups [(93.10 ± 14.56) ms,(92.77 ± 21.12)ms,(94.00±19.95)ms,(97.55 ±20.37)ms,and (101.73 ±25.57)ms,respectively] (F=2.516,P < 0.05).UA level correlated positively with QRSd (r =0.167,P < 0.01).According to the different UA,from groups Ⅰ to Ⅴ,with increase in UA,LVEF was reduced [(54.94 ± 10.26) %,(53.06 ±13.43)%,(51.79 ±14.01)%,(45.82±13.90)%,and (4-3.76±12.01)%,respectively] (F=14.299,P < 0.01),and the proportion of NYHA class Ⅳ increased (3.85%,4.29%,4.00%,21.05%,and 67.11%,respectively) (x2 =326.566,P < 0.01).Conclusions With the increase in UA level in patients with chronic heart failure,LVMI value increased,QRSd prolonged,LVEF decreased,and cardiac function reduced.It indicated that the elevated level of UA might reflect the severity of the ventricular remodeling,and ventricular electromechanical activity in dyssynchrony and development of heart failure.

10.SPERMICIDAL STUDY ON MANDELIC ACID IN VITRO
Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University(Medical Sciences) 1982;0(04):-
Mandelic acid(MA). the hydrolysate of a compound extracted from the leaves of prunus Persica B, possesses a strong spermicidal effect in vitro. In this experiment. the International Planned Parenthood Federation screening method for spermicides was used. Dilutions of MA, between 0.8mg/ml and 3.3mg/ml, totally immobilized human spermatozoa in less than 1 min. When the lowest spermicidal concentrotions of MA and boric acid against human spermatozoa were compared, it was found that MA was 40 times more potent than boric acid.
