Objective To assess the renal protective effects of triptolide treatment in type 2 diabetic rats and its possible mechanisms.Methods Wistar rats were randomized to receive following approach control (n=7),dia- betic model without treatment (n=7) and diabetic group treated with triptolide[200 ?g/(kg?d),n=7].Plasma glucose (PG),serum creatinine (Scr),total cholesterin (TC),triglyeride (TG),kidney mass (KM),index number of kidney hypertrophy (KM/body mass,KM/BM),and 24 hours urinary albumin (24 h UAL) were determined. The protein expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1),osteopontin (OPN) and ED-1 in renal tissue were determined by immunohistochemical technique.The mRNA expressions of MCP-1 and OPN in kidney tissue were assessed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results Elevated 24 h UAL was markedly attenuated by triptolide treatment [24 h UAL,triptolide:2.32?0.29 vs diabetic model group:3.89? 0.51 mg/mgCr,P

Objective To investigate the possible damaging effect of infrasound on ultrastructure and permeability of rats′ blood retinal barrier (BRB). Methods Twenty mature male rats, averagely divided into 5 groups according to the exposure duration, were exposed to infrasound at a 16 Hz frequency and 130 dB sound pressure level in a pressure chamber for 2 hours per day. After exposed for 0, 1 day, 7, 14, and 21 days respectively, ultrastructural changes of rats′ BRB were observed through injection of lanthanum (La) nitrate solution, which was used as a tracer to demonstrate the breakdown of the BRB. Results With prolonging the duration of infrasound exposure, BRB structure lesion, chondriosome tumefaction, endoplasmic reticulum expandedness, membrane disc damage, retinal pigment epithelial cells distortion and putrescence, karyotheca expandedness, and La leakage on each level of retina aggravated gradually. Conclusion Infrasound may cause the breakdown of BRB, and the lesions aggravated with prolonged infrasound exposure time.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of monoamine oxidase inhibitor phenelzine on proliferation, apoptosis and histone modulation in acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line Molt-4 cells.
METHODSThe effect of Phenelzine on cell proliferation was detected by MTT. Apoptotic rate was measured by flow cytometry. The variation of apoptosis associated proteins Caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21, tumor suppressor protein p15, and the expression level of histone methylation of H3K4, H3K9 and histone acetylation of H3, DNMT1 were detected by Western Blot.
RESULTS① Molt-4 cell proliferation rates were (87.68±3.54)%, (67.84±3.24)%, (51.48±3.37)%, (28.72±2.56)% respectively after exposured to phenelzine at 5, 10, 15, 20 μmol/L for 24 h, P<0.05. ② After 10 μmol/L of phenelzine exposure for 24, 48, 72 h, cell proliferation rates were (67.84±3.24)%, (50.24±2.01)%, (40.31±2.25)%, P<0.05. ③ The apoptotic rates were (13.64±2.58)%, (31.24±3.42)%, (56.37±4.26)% after phenelzine treatment at 5, 10, 20 μmol/L for 24 h, which was concentration dependent. ④ Phenelzine could upregulate the expression of Bax, caspase-3, p21, and downregulate Bcl-2 expression. Phenelzine upregulated the methylation level of histone H3K4me1, H3K4me2 and histone acetylated H3, while it didn't change the level of histone H3K4me3, H3K9me1, H3K9me2. ⑤ Phenelzine inhibited DNMT1 expression and promoted p15 expression.
CONCLUSIONSPhenelzine increased the methylation of histone H3K4me1, H3K4me2, acetylation of histone H3 and p21, and decreased the expression of DNMT1 and p15, and ultimately inhibited the proliferation and apoptosis of Molt-4 cells.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of acupuncture on the immune function of sepsis patients.
METHODSNinety sepsis patients were assigned to the control group, the thymosin a1 group, and the acupuncture treatment group according to random digit table, 30 patients in each group. Patients in the control group were treated according to the guideline of Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC). Patients in the control group received routine treatment. Those in the thymosin alpha1 group additionally received subdermal injection of thymosin alpha1 (1.6 mg), once per day for 6 successive days. Needling at related points such as Zusanli (ST36), Yanglingquan (GB34), Neiguan (PC6), Guanyuan (RN4), and so on, was performed in patients of the acupuncture treatment group, once per day for 6 successive days. T cell subgroups (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+ /CD8+) and immunoglobulin levels (IgG, IgA, IgM) were detected. The length of ICU hospital stay, hospital readmission rate, and 28-day mortality were compared among the three groups.
RESULTSAfter six days of treatment, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, IgG, IgA, IgM, and CD4+ /CD8+ ratio of three groups were all significantly increased (P < 0.01). Of them, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, IgG, IgA, and IgM increased more significantly in the thymosin alpha1 group and the acupuncture treatment group (P < 0.01). Compared with the control group, the ICU hospitalization length was significantly shortened, the hospital readmission rate and the 28-day mortality were lower in the thymosin alpha1 group and the acupuncture treatment group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). There was no statistical difference in each index between the thymosin alpha1 group and the acupuncture treatment group (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONAcupuncture could adjust the immune function of sepsis patients, improve their immunological indicators and prognoses.

Objective To investigate the multi-drug resistance of Klebsiella strains and its mechanism.Methods Twenty strains of Klebsiella were isolated from the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College,Ningbo University from October 2009 to March 2011,in which 18 isolates were Klebsiella pneumonia and 2 were Klebsiella planticola. Drug sensitivity was determined by K-B tests. Drug resistant genes gyrA,parC (chromosome mediated) and aac( 6′)-I b-Cr,qnrA,qnrB,qnrS,qepA (plasmid mediated) were amplified by PCR and verified by direct automated fluorogenic sequencing. Results Resistance to β-1actams,aminoglycosides and quinolones was observed in 20 strains,and resistant rates were all above 80%.Klebsiella planticola strains were sensitive to imipenem and meropenem.Mutations of gyrA and parC genes existed in 18 strains (90%),and the positive rates of aac (6') -I b-C r,qnrB and qnrS were 60% (12/20),20% (4/20) and 20% (4/20),respectively.Conclusion The mutations ofgyrA and parC genes may be the main cause of the resistance to quinolones in these strains.
