1.Prevention and management of hypertension in the patients with renal diseases
Chinese Journal of Practical Internal Medicine 2003;0(01):-
Effective management for hypertension in renal diseases should be carried out according to the principles of 2007 ESH-ESC Practice Guidelines for the Management of Arterial Hypertension.The important role of kidney in the classification of hypertension,the corresponding therapy,the set of the target blood pressure,the choice of antihypertensive agents and combination therapy should be focused.Comprehensive approaches should be used for the treatment of hypertension in renal diseases to protect the target organs(including the kidney).Appropriate prevention and management strategies for hypertension in renal diseases should be disseminated and optimized.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)has certain advantages in the treatment of chronic liver diseases,especially chronic inflam-matory injury and liver fibrosis.However,the studies on medicinal components and action mechanism of TCM prescriptions are confronted with a great challenge.The computational pharmacology methods used in recent years,mainly including virtual screening technique,omics technologies,and network pharmacology approaches,as well as their application in TCM research,are presented;given the previous re-search work,the progress in research on active ingredients and action mechanism of TCM prescriptions using computational pharmacology methods is reviewed.It is thought that computational pharmacology techniques combined with conventional molecular biological and pharma-cological methods are an important research strategy for the material basis and action mechanism of TCMprescriptions for treating chronic liv-er diseases.

Based on avian leukosis virus ( ALV) p19 gene terminal nucleotide sequence, a 82 bp double-stranded DNA fragment was chemically synthesized and cloned into the expression vector pGEMEX-1. The sequencing result indicated th at the cloned fragment was a correct version of the one designed both in nucleot ide sequence and in its open reading frame. The recombinant was used to transfor m E.coli BL21 (DE3). The cloned fragment was expressed as a fused protein wi th T7 gene 10 leader peptide and was shown to be 34 kD in size on SDS-PAGE gel when induced with 1 mmol/L IPTG. The expression product was able to bind immunol ogically to rabbit anti-ALV serum in Western-blot assay and is being tested to differentiate exogenous from endogenous ALV.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of BRMS1 ( breast cancer metastasis suppressorl ) protein in colon cancer.Methods The expression of BRMS1 protein was detected by using EliVision immunohistochemical techniques in 46 cases of colon cancer,and adjacent non cancerous colon tissues.The clinical significance with histopathologic records was aralyzed.Results The expression levels of BRMS1 ( 34.8% ) in the colon cancer tissues was significantly lower than those of adjacent non cancerous colon tissues( x2 =23.92,P <0.01 ).The expression of BRMSl was significantly correlated with tumor size,clinical stage,and lymph node status (x2 =6.02,4.28,4.35,all P<0.01) ;BRMS1 had no correlation with age,pathological type.Conclusion BRMS1 might synergistically promote the metastasis of colon cancer.Detection of the expression of BRMS1 may be hdpful in determineing the prognosis of colon cancer.

Objective To investigate the effects of pancreatic kininogenase on pressure,myocardical fibrosis and serum nitric oxide (NO) level in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Methods Twenty-four (fifteen weeks) male SHR were randomly divided into three groups:SHR group,pancreatic kininogenase group and captopril group(n=8 ),8 male Wistar kyoto rats with normal blood pressure were considered as control group. Pancreatic kininogenase was given by peritoneal injection (7.2 U?kg~ -1 ?d~ -1 ), captopril was given by intragastric administration(10 mg?kg~ -1 ?d~ -1 ), the rats in SHR group and rats with normol blood pressure in control group were treated with 0.9% NaCl(2 mL?kg~ -1 ?d~ -1 )administered through peritoneal injection. After four-week experiment, the pressure was measured in rats througth carotid artery,then the rats were sacrificed , and LVMI,CVF,PVCA and serum NO level were measured. Results In SHR group, SBP,LVMI,CVF and PVCA were higher, serum NO level was decreased obviously than those in control group (P0.05). Conclusion Pancreatic kininogenase can obviously reduce the blood pressure and reverse myocardial fibrosis,its mechanism may be concerned with the increasing of NO level in SHR.

Objective:The purpose of this study is to locate and characterize splenic trauma with contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS).Methods:A defined mild intraparenchymal lesion was done in 2 pigs.Ultrasound features after trauma were observed by baseline ultrasound,color Doppler flow images(CDFI) and CEUS with a contrast agent(Sono Vue),respectively.Results:In 2 pigs,focal intraparenchymal lesions on spleen with diameters ranging from 10.0 to 10.0 mm could be identified by CDFI and CEUS but not by the baseline ultrasound.Hyperechoic rift in spleen was visible along trauma area as enhancement in splenic parenchyma disappeared on CEUS.Hyperechoic line could be kept in a long time.The hyperechoic rift also appeared at the sub-capsular region beside a traumatic lesion.Hyperechoic rift in traumatic region could be seen even as CEUS was converted to conventional B-mode.Enhancement in the traumatic lesion was clearly seen in CDFI.Conclusion:Hyperechoic rift in spleen was visible along trauma area as a contrast agent is used.CEUS is useful in identifying the grade,range and location of splenic injury.

Objective To study the dynamic changes of transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) on our in vitro model of brain blood barrier (BBB) made from primary culture of BALB/c mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVEC), and to explore the relation between TEER and BBB permeability, and search for the best culture condition. Methods BMVEC were isolated from BALB/c mouse and cultured on a transwell insert with special micro-pore. The cells were identified with immunohistochemical methods and electron microscope. TEER over BMVEC was measured after BBB model establishment for determining the 3H-Glucose permeability of BBB in vitro. Results BMVEC cultured in the transwell insert exhibited typical "flagstone" appearance and in a tight monolayer structure under electron microscope. Immunohistochemical detection of ZO-1 protein, a marker antigen of tight junction, showed smooth, continuous and tight junctions between confluent BMVEC. TEER over BMVEC monolayer increased to (346?10) ?/cm2 when the permeability for 3H-Glucose was decreased to the minimum. Conclusion BBB model in vitro made from primary culture of BMVEC in transwell has the basic characteristics of BBB in morphology, electrical resistance and permeability.
