Objective To discuss the changes of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in patients with primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS)and the correlation with renal pathological type,renal tubulointerstitial lesions and the clinical indicators.Methods Forty patients with PNS were divided into acute kidney injury (AKI) group and non-AKI group according to whether renal tubular necrosis (ATN) occurred in renal pathology.Moreover,on the basis of pathological type they were divided into minimal change disease (MCD) group,mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN) group,focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) group,membrane proliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) group and membranous nephropathy (MN) group.Twenty healthy subjects and normal kidney tissues which came from 20 patients with renal tumor nephrectomy and were distant from the tumor sites were the control groups.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to detect the serum and urine level of NGAL,and immunohistochemical staining was used to observe the expression of NGAL in the renal tissue.Results (1)The serum and urine level of NGAL and the expression of NGAL in the renal tissue in the PNS complicated with AKI group were significantly higher than that in the PNS without AKI group and in the control group(P ＜ 0.05).(2)The serum and urine level of NGAL and the expression of NGAL in the renal tissue were enhanced in MPGN group and FSGS group than that in the other three groups(P ＜ 0.05).(3) Before developing to severe tubulointerstitial lesions,with the aggravation of tubulointerstitial damage,the serum and urine level of NGAL and the expression of NGAL in the renal tissue were increased.But when renal tubular interstitial lesions developed to severe disease,serum level of NGAL and the expression of NGAL in the renal tissue were decreased(P ＜ 0.05).(4)The serum and urine level of NGAL and the expression of NGAL in the renal tissue were positively correlated with serum creatinine(r values were 0.198,0.352,0.146 respectively,P values were 0.048,0.000,0.028 respectively),were positively correlated with blood urea nitrogen(r values were 0.199,0.278,0.325 respectively,P values were 0.043,0.000,0.019 respectively),were negatively correlated with serum albumin(r values were-0.384,-0.318,-0.259 respectively,P values were 0.028,0.024,0.020 respectively) and were negatively correlated with urine osmotic pressure(r values were-0.250,-0.256,-0.277 respectively,P values were 0.012,0.027,0.002 respectively).Conclusion NGAL is a sensitive biological parameter for predicting AKI in the patients with PNS,and it can be used to evaluate the degree of tubulointerstitial lesions and renal function to a certain extent.

BACKGROUND: The complications of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) include acute lung injury, acute kidney injury, shock, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). In recent years, how to clear inflammatory mediators has become a hot topic in critical care medicine. Researchers hypothesize that continuous blood purification (CBP) can effectively eliminate a variety of inflammatory mediators which participate in the occurrence of MODS and adjust the immune imbalance. This study aimed to observe the effects of CBP in MODS patients. METHODS: In this retrospective clinical study, a total of 38 MODS patients, 18 males and 20 females, were enrolled. After conventional therapy, all the patients received CBP. Biochemistry, blood gas analysis, oxygenation index, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II scores were monitored. RESULTS: After CBP, the vital signs of patients were rapidly stable, and electrolyte disorders and acid-base imbalance were corrected. Renal function, blood gas, oxygenation index were all improved. MAP was increased, and APACHE II score was significantly decreased. All patients had good tolerance, stable hemodynamics, and no obvious adverse reaction on CBP compared with pre-CBP. CONCLUSION: CBP can effectively clean toxins, correct electrolyte acid-base balance, and improve systemic inflammatory response syndrome and the organ function of MODS patients.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the therapeutic effect of proton pump inhibitor(PPI) on alleviation of hoarseness symptoms in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux(LPR). METHOD: The LPR outpatients in ENT department of our hospital(60 cases)complained of hoarseness were enrolled in the study from August of 2013 to October of 2014. All of them were randomly divided into group A and B. The individuals in group A (30 cases) taked golden voice capsule to treat for 3 months, while the individuals in group B (30 cases) taked golden voice capsule and omeprazole to treat for 3 months. The data about reflux symptom index (RSI), reflux finding score (RFS) and voice handicap index (VHI)from the first month to the third month after treatment were recorded and compared group A with group B. RESULT: The scores of RSI and RFS in patients (60 cases) before treatment were significantly correlated with their VHI (r=0. 823, P<0. 01; r=0. 873, P<0. 01). The score changes of RSI and VHI from the first to the third month after treatment in group B were significantly higher than those in group A (P<0. 01). Meanwhile, the score changes of RFS from the third month after treatment in group B were significantly higher than those in group A (t=8. 307, P<. 01), but the differences were not significant for RFS from the first to the second month after treatment between group A and group B(t=1. 128, P>0. 05; t=0. 376, P> 0. 05). CONCLUSION PPI therapy could significantly alleviate the hoarseness symptom in LPR patients.

Objective To understand the changes and possible mechanism of the blood brain barrier(BBB) permeability induced by tumor necrosis factor(TNF-?) in vitro.Methods BBB model was established by coculturing allogenic brain microvessel end othelial cell(BMEC) and astrocyte(AS).The BBB model was divided randomly into normal control group,TNF-? group and Y-27632 pretreatment group.The changes of BBB permeability were evaluated by Gamma radioim muno assay counter.Results The Gamma radioimmuno assay indicated that the marker,~(125)I-BSA,across the BBB model in vitro was significantly increased after TNF-? treatment compared with control group,Y-27632 pretreatmen could prevent the permeability of BBB induced by TNF-?(P

Objective To investigate the distribution of high-arsenic drinking water in Honghu city of Hubei province in order to provide a scientific basis for prevention and control of endemic arsenic disease.Methods Investigations were made in 22 townships(towns,districts),68 natural villages of the drainage areas of the Dongjing River,the Neijing River and the Yangtse River in 2006 and 2007,with the townships(towns,districts)around Shahu town in Xiantao city as the focal point.1000 water samples were drawn each year,which was 10% of all the wells in every natural village.Using sampling investigation,water arsenic Was determined by half-quantitative fast reagent kit.All samples of water with arsenic exceeding the standard(≥0.03 mg/L)were re-determined according to state standard.Surveys on the disease was carried out in the villages(brigades)where arsenic exceeded the standard.Results A total of 2000 samples were surveyed from 68 natural villages,of which there were 401 samples from 48 villages exceeding the standard in a rate of 20.05%(401/2000).The highest arsenic content Was 0.71 mg/L.The high arsenic water sources were distributed mainy in the drainage areas of the Dongjing River and the Neijing River,but no patients with endemic arsenic disease were found.Conclusions The high arsenic water sources are distributed mainly in the drainage areas of the Dongjing River and the Neijing River.It is suggested that the interrelated government departments should take precise measures to impmve the quality of drinking water and ensure safe water to the residents in high arsenic areas.

Objective To investigate the correlation of M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) genetic polymorphism in two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) of Chinese Han population in Northeast China.Methods A total of 327 individuals were enrolled in the study including 95 adult patients with biopsy-proved IMN (IMN group) followed up for (25.4±11.6) months and 232 healthy people identified by healthy examination in China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University (HC group).Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to detect the genotype and allele frequency of rs35771982 and rs3828323 site in PLA2R gene.The x2 test was performed to compare the distribution difference of allelic frequency and genotype frequency of the two sites in PLA2R gene between two groups.Unconditional Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the risk factor of IMN.Results IMN and HC group were matched in male predominance and body mass index (BMI).Patients with IMN were older than the healthy controls and had higher Scr,serum total cholesterol (TC),24-hour urine protein level and lower serum albumin (Alb) level,lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) than the healthy controls (all P ＜ 0.01).The CC genotype frequency and the C allele frequency at SNP rs35771982 site of PLA2R gene in IMN group were significantly higher than those in HC group (x2=13.658,P=0.001;x2=15.315,P=9.10× 10-5),whereas there was no distribution difference of genotype and allele frequency at rs3828323 site between two groups (x2=2.844,P =0.241; x2 =2.959,P=0.085).The CC genotype at rs35771982 site in patients with IMN was not related to,age,gender,BMI,blood pressure and several laboratory indexes such as Alb,TC,Scr,eGFR and 24-hour urine protein level (all P ＞ 0.05).Unconditional Logistic regression analysis revealed that the genotype at rs35771982,age,TC,Scr and eGFR were correlated with IMN occurrence.The CC genotype at rs35771982 was the risk factor of IMN (OR =4.408,95％CI 1.488-13.058).Conclusions The CC genotype and C allele at rs35771982 site in PLA2R may be associated with the susceptibility to IMN,whereas the correlation between gene polymorphism at rs3828323 site and IMN is not demonstrated.The CC genotype at rs35771982 is the independent risk factor of IMN in Chinese Han population in Northeast China.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of salidroside on tic behavior and in vivo dopamine DA) and serotonin (5-HT) levels in Tourette syndrome (TS) model rats.

METHODSForty rats were randomly divided into the blank control group, the TS model group, the haloperidol-treated group (0.5 mg/kg x d(-1)), and the salidroside-treated group (50 mg/kg x d(-1)), 10 in each group. TS rat model was induced by imino-dipropio-nitrile (IDPN). Peritoneal injection of haloperidol and salidroside was started from the 4th day of modeling in the haloperidol-treated group and the salidroside-treated group respectively. Normal saline was peritoneally injected to rats in the blank control group and the TS model group respectively. Stereotyped behavior was scored, and changes of DA and 5-HT levels in blood and striatum were measured before modeling, after modeling, and after intervention.

RESULTSCompared with the blank control group, the score of the tic behavior was elevated (P < 0.01) , levels of DA and 5-HT in plasma and striatum were reduced in the model group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). Compared with the same group after modeling, the tic behavior score decreased and plasma DA levels increased in the two treated groups after intervention (P < 0.01). 5-HT content increased in the salidroside-treated group (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group after intervention, the tic behavior score was significantly reduced (P < 0.01), and DA levels in plasma and striatum were elevated (P < 0.01, P < 0.05) in the salidroside-treated group and the haloperidol-treated group. Compared with the haloperidol-treated group, the tic behavior score increased (P < 0.01), DA levels in plasma and striatum were lowered (P < 0.01, P < 0.05), the 5-HT level increased in plasma and striatum (P < 0.01, P < 0.05) in the salidroside-treated group.

CONCLUSIONSIn the salidroside-treated group, the tic behavior was significantly reduced, and DA levels in plasma and striatum were elevated. Its mechanism might be related to regulating activities of dopamine neurons in striatum.
