Objective To investigate the expression and significance of osteopontin (OPN) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in lipid -induced rat renal injury. Method Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: normal control rats (C group) and cholesterol fed rats (H group). Twelve weeks later, the 24h total urine protein amount, creatinine clearance rate and the levels of total serum cholesterol, LDL- cholesterol, HDL- cholesterol and triglycerides were measured. Kidney pathological changes were observed by HE and PAS statning. Immunohistochemitry were used to detect the expression of OPN, MCP-1 and ED1. Results Total serum cholesterol level, LDL-cholesterol level and 24h total urine protein amount in H group rats were higher than those in C group rats, and there were no significant difference between two groups in HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides level. Compared with C group rats, the expression of OPN and MCP-1 increased in cortical tubular epithelium of H group rats, and the number of ED1 + cells increased in tubulointerstitium as well. Either OPN or MCP-1 expression was positive correlation with the number of ED1 + cells. Conclusion The expression of OPN and MCP-1 in tubular epithelium increased in hypercholesterolemia rats, which might mediate M? infiltration into tubulointerstitium and lead to interstitial fibrosis.

Objective To investigate the expression of osteopontin(OPN) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1) and the effect of Irbersartan on them in diet-hypercholesterolemia rats. Methods Wistar rats were divided into three groups: normal control rats(C), cholesterol fed rats(H) and cholesterol fed rats treated with Irbesartan(50 mg ? kg -1 ? d -1 ). Twelve weeks later, we measured the 24 hours total urine protein, creatinine clearance and total serum cholesterol, LDL- cholesterol, HDL- cholesterol and triglycerides. Kidney pathology was observed. Immunohistochemistry was used to analyse the expression of OPN, MCP-1, ED1 +and their relationship. Results (1) Total serum cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol level and 24 h total urine protein in H group rats were higher than that in C group rats, there was no significant difference between two groups in HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides.(2) Compared with C group rats , the expression of OPN and MCP-1 increased in cortical tubular epithelium (2.34?0.25 vs 0.49?0.11; 1.93?0.21 vs 0.49?0.11, P

Objective To find the mutation of disease-causing genes of sudden unexplained death syn-drome (SU D S ) in the young by whole exome sequencing in one case. Methods O ne SU D S case was found no obvious fatal pathological changes after conventional autopsy and pathological examination. The whole exome sequencing was performed with the Ion Torrent PGMTM Systemwith hg19 as reference se-quence for sequencing data. The functions of mutations were analyzed by PhyloP, PolyPhen2 and SIFT. A three-step bioinformatics filtering procedure was carried out to identify possible significative single nu-cleotide variation (SN V ), which was missense mutation with allele frequency <1% of myocardial cell. Results Four rare suspicious pathogenic SN V were identified. C ombined with the analysis of convention-al autopsy and pathological examination, the mutation MYOM 2 (8_2054058_G/A ) was assessed as high-risk deleterious mutation by PolyPhen2 and SIFT, respectively. Conclusion Based on the second genera-tion sequencing technology, analysis of whole exome sequencing can be a newmethod for the death cause investigation of SU D S. The gene MYOM2 is a newcandidate SU D S pathogenic gene for mecha-nismresearch.

Objective To explore the possible mechanism and protective effect of Xuebijing injection (血必净注射液)and dexamethasone on rats with paraquat-induced chronic pulmonary injury.Methods Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups:normal group(n=5),model group(n=5), treatment groups(n=20).In the normal group,normal saline was used,while in the other groups,20% paraquat 80 mg/kg was injected peritoneally for poisoning.After 2 hours of intoxication,low dose Xuebijing injection(1.25 g/kg),high dose Xuebijing injection(2.50 g/kg),dexamethasone(25 mg/kg),high dose Xuebijing injection combined with dexamethasone(combined group)respectively were administered into the four different treatment groups,equal amount of normal saline was given to the normal and model groups,and the treatment continued for 4 days.At 28 days after paraquat injection,5 rats in each group were killed respectively,serum transforming growth factor-?1(TGF-?1)and hydroxyproline(HYP)level in the lung homogenate were measured,and pulmonary coefficient and histological changes were observed.Results In the treatment groups,the levels of serum TGF-?1 and lung tissue HYP,pulmonary coefficient were leas than those of model group,and among the treatment groups,combined group had the best results(all P

Objectiye To optimize the depth of the microchannel and the time point for sperm collection,and improve the efficiency of sperm screening on a microfluidic device. Methods Microchannels with four different depths of 25, 50, 100 and 200 μm were tested. Mice sperm were added to the inlet of the microchannel. The relative quantity and motility of sperm in the outlet were recorded at different collection times, i.e. ,5, 15, 30 and 60 min. Statistical method one-way ANOVA and appropriate post-hoc testing were applied to analyze differences between different groups, and further to select the best-fit depth of the microchannel and the time point for collection. Results In microchannels with depths of 25, 50, 100 and 200 μm, the sperm motilities measured in each outlet were (85.4 ± 2.3)%, (85.8 ± 5.8)%,( 87. 2 ± 2. 8 ) %, (76. 5 ± 2. 8 ) % respectively with statistical significance ( F = 5.8, P < 0. 05 ). No obvious differences were found among 25-100 μm channels, however the motility dramatically decreased in the 200 μm group. The relative sperm quantities were (5.2 ±2.0)%, (7.2 ±2.5)%,(12.3 ±2.0)%,(7. 7 ± 1.1 ) % respectively with statistical significance ( F = 6. 9, P < 0. 05), which increased with channel depth from 25 to 100 μm,while it decreased in the 200 μm channel Taking 2 indexes into account, 100 μmwas the most fit channel depth for sperm motility screening. The sperm motility in the outlet gradually decreased with time. At the time points of 5, 15, 30 and 60 min after adding sperm, the sperm motilities were (99. 6 ±0. 7)%, (87.2 ±2. 8)%, (79. 3 ±2. 2)% and (62. 6 ±8.0)% respectively with statistical significance ( F = 37. 3, P < 0. 01 ). Yet the relative quantities of sperm in the outlet increased almost three times in this process. At the time points mentioned above, the relative quantities of sperm were (5.8±1.1)%, (10.6 ± 0.9)%, (12.1 ± 1.7)%, (17.9 ± 3.4)% respectively with statistical significance ( F = 17.8, P < 0. 01 ). Thus 15-30 min was the ideal screening time. Conclusion An effective microdevice for sperm screening with optimized depth and collection time period is developed,which may contribute significantly for the screening of healthy sperm on microfluidic chips.

Clinical data of 116 patients with implanted permanent dual catheters for hemodialysis,including 18 with infection and 98 non-infection, during January 2006 and July 2009 were retrospectively analyzed to study risk factors for catheter-related bacteremia (CRB). Duration of catheter implantation,primary disease, routine blood examinations and blood biochemical examination of the patients were analyzed between the two groups. COX proportional hazard regression analysis was performed for all predictor variables. Results showed that overall incidence of bacteremic episodes was 0. 314 per 1000 catheter-day.Compared to that in infection group, levels of hemoglobin, plasma albumin, peripheral lymphocyte count and ratio of CD4/CD8 in non-infection group were significantly higher ( all P < 0. 05 ), and OR of CRB were 4. 011 (P =0. 0213) for diabetes mellitus and 7. 181 for hemoglobin level less than 80g/L (P = 0. 0020),respectively. It is suggested that improving nutrition status and correcting anemia for patients with hemodialysis are necessary to reduce CRB.
