Objective To investigate the effect of RBP on 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation,lipid metabolism and glucose transporter 4(GLUT-4)gene expression.Methods We constructed an expression vector for rat resistin gene and transfected it into 3T3-L1 adipocytes.RBP was added to the medium of 3T3-L1 adipocytes or resistin-overexpressing adipocytes on day 0 of differentiation.Cell differentiation and lipid accumulation were determined by oil red O staining.The mRNA expressions of differentiation marker genes(pref-1,C/EBP?,FAS)and GLUT-4 gene were evaluated by RT-PCR.Triglyceride(TG)and free fatty acids(FFAs)in adipocytes were measured by colorimetric kit.Results(1)When 10-12mol/L RBP was applied,the percent of living cells was high and the shape was unchanged.(2)RBP had no effect on the differentiation of normal adipocytes,but significantly decreased the number of lipid droplets in resistin-overexpressing adipocytes without affecting the lipid droplets-presenting day.(3)C/EBP? and FAS expressions in resistin-overexpressing adipocytes were down-regulated after RBP was applied,without changing their expressions in normal adipocytes.(4)RBP had no effect on the cellular TG and FFAs levels in normal cells,whereas it can significantly decrease the levels in resistin-overexpressing adipocytes.(5)There was no difference in the expression of GLUT-4 gene between 3T3-L1 adipocytes and RBP-applied cells.Conclusions(1)RBP has no effect on the cell differentiation and lipid metabolism in normal 3T3-L1 adipocytes.(2)RBP can inhibit the cell differentiation and lipid metabolism of resistin-overexpressing 3T3-L1 cells.(3)RBP has no effect on the expression of GLUT-4 gene.

Objective To investigate the application value of montelukast in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods 64 patients with stable COPD in Jinqiu Hospital of Liaoning Province from December 2015 to December 2016 were randomly divided into observation group and control group according to the digital table,32 cases in each group.The two groups were given routine treatment,including cough,phlegm,oxygen therapy,smoking cessation,rehabilitation treatment,regular use of long-acting bronchodilators,on this basis,the observation group was treated with montelukast sodium.After 12 weeks of treatment,the patients were assessed for airway improvement and quality of life before and after treatment,and recorded the two groups of acute exacerbation and adverse drug reactions.Results The two groups had improved lung function and quality of life after treatment,but after treatment,the FEV1,FVC and FEV1 actual/FEV1 prediction of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t =2.49,1.77,1.85 all P ＜ 0.05).After treatment,the 6 minutes walking distance of the observation group was longer than that of the control group,Borg score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t =1.83,6.66,all P ＜0.05).After treatment,the SGRQ score in the observation group was lower than that of the control group,the difference was statistically significant[(51.15 ± 3.14)points vs.(54.83 ± 4.03)points,t =3.94,P ＜ 0.01].Conclusion Montelukast can effectively improve the stability of COPD pulmonary function and quality of life,and with high safety.

Objective To analyze the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of pathogenic bacteria in urinary tract infection (UTI)so as to provide evidence for appropriate selection of antimicrobial agents in clinical practice. Methods From January 2001 to December 2008 in Shanghai Ruijin Hospital,4683 strains of pathogenic bacteria isolated from urine samples were detected by ATB system;drug susceptibility test was performed with disk diffusion method and pathogenic bacteria distribution and drug resistance was analyzed with WHO NET 5.3 software. Results Among 4683 strains of pathogenic bacteria,most was gramnegative bacilli,accounting for about 77.8%,of which predominant strain was Escherichia coli (68.7%,3217/4683).The predominant strain of gram-positive bacteria was Enterococcus faecalis,accounting for 10.0%(468/4683).Escherichia coli showed hish resistance rotes to ampicillin,piperacillin and compound snlfamethoxazole(SMZ-TMP),which were 76.6%,61.7%and 57.4%respectively,while a low resistance to imipenem,cefoperazone-sulbactam,piperacillin-tazobactam,Enterococcus faecalis showed high resistance rates to erythromycin,gentamicin and levofloxacin,which were 65.8%,43.2%and 31.1%respectively,and were most susceptive to vancomycin and teicoplanin, both with resistance rates of 0. The susceptibility rate of Enterobacteriaceae to imipenem was 100%. From 2006 to 2008, the detection rate of extend-spectrum β-lactamases ESBLs -producing Escherichia coil in outpatient increased year by year, from 28.7% to 43.3% (P＜0.05), whereas no significant change was found in inpatients. The detection rate of (ESBLs)-producing Escherichia coil in inpatients was significantly higher than that in outpatients (P＜0.05).The detection rate of ESBLs-producing Escherichia coil was 23.6%. The antimicrobial resistance rate in elderly patients was significantly higher than that in overall antimicrobial resistance rote (P＜0.05). Conclusions The predominant bacteria of UTI are still gram-negative bacteria, main of which is Escherichia col. Bacteria are resistant to a variety of antibiotics. Approximate selection of antibiotics in clinical practice should be made on the basis of susceptibility test results.

Objective To investigated the inhibitory effect of an IgG-Fc region specific inhibitory peptide on the ANCA-accelerated apoptosis of neutrophils. Methods The peptide was prepared by solid-phase peptide synthesis and its biological activity was identified by rosette formation assay. ANCA was prepared from the sera of active Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) patients. Neutrophils isolated from the blood of healthy volunteers were primed with TNF-?(2 ng/ml) then incubated with ANCA. At different intervals(3, 6, 12, 18 hours) the neutrophils were harvested to assess the apoptosis by flow cytometric analysis of JC-1 staining, Sub-G1 population and fonnation TUNEL technique. Results Tg19320 bound tightly to human IgG dose-dependendy and inhibited statistically the rosette formation between SRBC-IgG and U937 cells(20.3% vs 53.2% ,P

The aim of the study was to observe osseointegration of dental implants in osteoporotic rats. Rats were randomly divided into groups A(SHAM) and B(OVX), and pure titanium screws were implanted in the distal half of the right femurs. 1 5 and 3 months after implantation, half of the rats in each group were sacrificed and right femurs were observed by X ray photography, scan electron microscopy as well as light microscopy. The results showed that 1.5 and 3 months after implantation, the osseointegration index (OI) of group A was higher than that of group B. But the OI of each group was almost the same at different intervals. 1 5 months after implantation, the amount of new bone formation in group A was more abundant than that in group B, and it increased in group A but decreased in group B 3 months after implantation.The results confirmed that with higher BMD osseointegration was better. Osteoporotic changes could decrease OI and the amount of new bone formation at implant bone interface in rats. Osseointegration would not improve without outside factors.

Objective To explore the role of chemokines and ehemokine receptors in the etiopathog-enesis of diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis (LN). Methods ① Total RNA from the kidney tissues and peripheral blood cells of 12 patients with diffuse proliferative LN and 10 normal controls were prepared simultaneously and reverse transcribed into complementary DNA. Sybr green dye based real-time quantitative PCR method was used to compare the expression levels (indicated as-AACt value) of MCP-1, CCL19,CXCLg, CXCL10 and CCR2, CCR7, CXCR3. ② Immunofluoresceee labeling and immunohistochemical staining technique were used to observe the distribution of chemokines MCP-1, CCL19, CXCL9 and CXCL10 in normal and patients kidney tissues. Results The 4 chemokines genes (MCP-1, CCL19, CXCL9 and CXCL10) were consistently highly expressed in kidney tissues and peripheral blood ceils of diffuse proliferative LN patients compared with normal controls. The 2 chemokine receptors, CCR2 and CXCR3 were also overexpressed in peripheral blood cells of diffuse proliferative LN patients. There was nearly no expression of these 4 chemokine proteins in normal kidneys. But they were found in glomeruli of diffuse proliferative LN patients. Conclusion The expression of chemokines in the peripheral blood cells may be used as biomarkers for LN. Further study maybe lead to the development of specific drugs targeting at them for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Objective Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ( IPF) is a chronic inflammatory disease with unknown etiology and is lack of effective therapy. The aim of this study is to explore the function of Ca2+ and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in the pathogenesis of IPF, and the impact of 1,25?( OH) 2 D3 on Ca2+ and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in type Ⅱalveolar epithelial cells of rat with IPF. Methods 150 male SD rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: prevention group ( control groupⅠ, model groupⅠ, medication groupⅠ) and treatment group ( control groupⅡ, model groupⅡ, medication groupⅡ) . The tracheal exposure surgery was operated in control groupⅠ/Ⅱ, and then 200μL sterile physiological saline was administered by intraperitoneal injection of each rats 2 days and 14 days after surgery, separately. Bleomycin(BLM)(5 mg/kg) was in?jected into the trachea of model groupⅠ/Ⅱ, and then vitamin D3 solvent(0.1%ethanol and 99.9%glycol propylene, 1μL/g) was ad?ministered by intraperitoneal injection 2 days and 14 days after surger?y, separately. Bleomycin( BLM) ( 5 mg/kg) was injected into the tra?chea of medication groupⅠ/Ⅱ, and then 1,25?( OH) 2 D3( 2μg/kg) was administered by intraperitoneal injection 2 days and 14 days after surgery, separately. IPF model was built by injecting Bleomycin into the trachea of rats, 1,25?(OH)2D3(2μg/kg) was used to prevent and treat IPF by intraperitoneal injection in medication group. The hydroxyproline content of lung tissue in each group was measured, type Ⅱalveolar epithelial cells were separated from lung tissue and labeled with Fluo?3AM, then concentration of Ca2+ was detected by Laser scanning confocal microscope. The mRNA levels of PI3K, AKT and mTOR in the typeⅡalveolar epithelial cells were tested by RT?PCR. Results Compared with control groupⅠ/Ⅱ at each time point, hydroxyproline content of lung tissue, Ca2+ concentration and expression of PI3K, AKT and mTOR in typeⅡalveolar epithelial cells in model groupⅠ/Ⅱand medication groupⅠ/Ⅱwere sig?nificantly raised( P<0.05 or P<0.01) , but these were significantly reduced in medication groupⅠ/Ⅱcompared with model groupⅠ/Ⅱ( P<0.05 or P<0.01) . Correlation analysis showed that there is significant positive correlation between Ca2+ concentration and mRNA expression levels of PI3K, AKT and mTOR in model groupⅠ/Ⅱ(r=0.5988, r=0.6230, r=0.6603,P<0.01)and medication groupⅠ/Ⅱ( r=0.701 2, r=0.632 3,r=0.740 3,P<0.01) . Conclusion The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway plays an important role in devel?opment of IPF. 1,25?( OH) 2 D3 is able to reduce Ca2+concentration in typeⅡalveolar epithelial cells and inhibit the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, and then inhibit the development of IPF.
