?AlM: To observe the expression of Acin1 ( apoptotic chromatin condensation inducer 1 ) in congenital cataract mouse retina during development and investigate the differences of retinal apoptosis and the connection of lens and retina development between congenital cataract mouse and normal mouse.
?METHODS: There were congenital cataract mice ( 10 female and 5 male) and normal C57BL/6 mice (10 female and 5 male) . One male and two female mice were fed in the same cage randomly. The young mice were divided into two groups: congenital cataract group and normal control group. Five young mice were treated each group on 1, 5, 9, 14, 17, 21, 26, 60d. The left eyes were fixed with 4% neutral formalin to detect AClN1 protein by immunohistochemistry and retinas from right eyes were used to detect the mRNA expression of Acin1.
?RESULTS: Acin1 had sustained expression in each group. AClN1 protein gradually expressed from the ganglion cell layer, inner nuclear layer to the outer nuclear layer following retinal development. lt mainly expressed on ganglion cell layer and inner nuclear layer, but not neuroblastoma layer. AClN1 protein positive cells on P1 ~ P14d increased in normal control group, P17d reduced, after P21d positive cells of each layers decreased. The overall trend was similar in congenital cataract group with normal control group, P1 ~ P14d positive cells count was lower than normal control group, P17-P21d positive cells were flat and higher than the normal control group. Compared with the same day of the two groups, the differences except for P17, P26, P60d were significant (P<0. 05). The overall difference was statistically significant in congenital cataract group ( Fcataract=295. 07, P<0. 01);in addition to P1 and P5, P17 and P21, the differences were statistically significant ( P< 0. 05 ) compared with each other in congenital cataract group. The overall difference was statistically significant in control group (Fnormal=214. 21, P<0. 01); in addition to P1 and P5d, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0. 05) compared with each other in control group. The expression of P17d in congenital cataract group was lower compared with that of P14d in control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). Acin1 mRNA trends of two groups were similar with AClN1 protein. Compared with the same day of the two groups, the difference was significant except for P17, P21, P60d (P<0. 05 ) . The overall difference was statistically significant in each other of the two groups ( Fcataract=522. 29, P<0. 01;Fnormal=472. 05, P<0. 01). The difference was statistically significant compared with each day in control group ( P<0. 05). Compared with all the rest of days except for P21 and P26d, the difference was statistically significant in congenital cataract group (P<0. 05).
?CONCLUSlON: Acin1 exist differential expression of time and space in mouse retina during development, congenital cataract crystal developmental disorder may affect the expression of Acin1 and retinal cell apoptosis and development.

Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 2014;39(10):782-786
Objective To investigate the variation and significance of the expressions of NF-kB, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in the renal tissue of insulin-resistant rat. Methods Thirty healthy male Wistar rats were bred since 2 months old, and they were randomly divided into normal control (NC) group (n=15) and insulin-resistant (IR) group (n=15). Insulin resistance rat model was reproduced by feeding with high fat and sucrose diet. Hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp test was used to verify the reproduction of the model. The kidneys of the rats were obtained after the successful reproduction of the model. The change in renal histology was observed by HE staining, and the expressions of iNOS and COX-2 in the kidneys were detected by immunohistochemistry staining. The mRNA expressions of NF-κB, iNOS and COX-2 in the kidneys were assessed with RT-PCR. DNA binding activity of NF-κB in the rat's kidney was assessed with electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Results HE staining showed that, compared with NC group, the early lesions of the renal tissue, such as glomerular enlargement and mesangial region broadening, could be seen in IR group. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the positive expressions of iNOS and COX-2 were up-regulated significantly in IR group than in NC group (P<0.05). RT-PCR revealed that the expressions of NF-κB mRNA, iNOS mRNA and COX-2 mRNA in renal tissue were significantly higher in IR group than in NC group (P<0.05). EMSA showed that the binding activity of NF-κB in renal tissue increased significantly in IR group than in NC group (P<0.05). Conclusion NF-κB activation is present in the kidney tissue in the insulin resistance rat, which may upregulate the expression of downstream target gene iNOS and COX-2, resulting in damage to kidney tissue. The activation of NF-κB maybe one of the initiative factors that lead to the kidney lesion of the insulin resistance rat.

ObjectiveTo investigate the temporal features of renal injury in rats with severe heat stroke (SHS) and their relationship with inflammatory response.Methods Fifty-six male Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group and SHS for 0, 2, 6, 24, 48, 72 hours group (SHS-0, 2, 6, 24, 48, 72 h groups), with 8 rats in each group. Rats were placed in an artificial climate chamber [temperature (39.5±0.2)℃, humidity (60±5)%] to induce SHS model, and the criterion for successful model reproduction was the onset of lowering peak systolic blood pressure (SBP). Then the rats were transferred to room temperature (23.0±0.2)℃ after successful reproduction of the model. The rats of normal control group were kept in room temperature of (23.0±0.2)℃. Heart blood and renal tissue samples were harvested, and the levels of serum creatinine (SCr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were determined by automatic biochemistry analyzer. The levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in renal tissue specimens were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The changes in histopathology in kidney were observed with light microscopy, and Paller scores were used to assess the degree of renal injury.Results Compared with normal control group, the levels of SCr and BUN in serum, and MPO, TNF-α and IL-6 in the renal tissue homogenate were significantly increased in SHS-6 h group [SCr (μmol/L): 174.0±27.0 vs.68.0±11.3, BUN (mmol/L): 12.6±2.3 vs. 4.3±1.2, MPO: (203.0±38.0)% vs. (100.0±1.4)%, TNF-α: (121.0±16.0)% vs. (100.0±1.4)%, IL-6: (118.0±19.0)% vs. (100.0±1.3)%, allP< 0.05], and they peaked at 24 hours [SCr (μmol/L): 489.0±96.0 vs. 68.0±11.3, BUN (mmol/L): 19.3±5.7 vs. 4.3±1.2, MPO: (511.0±41.0)% vs. (100.0± 1.4)%, TNF-α: (399.0±47.0)% vs. (100.0±1.4)%, IL-6: (473.0±56.0)% vs. (100.0±1.3)%, allP< 0.01], then declined to the normal levels at 72 hours. Under light microscopy, tissue edema and necrosis of renal tubules were found, and leukocyte infiltration was found to be most profuse at 24 hours, then they returned to normal levels at 72 hours. Paller scores in SHS-6 h group were significantly higher than those of the normal control group (75.45±9.70 vs. 14.23±3.26,P< 0.01), and it peaked at 24 hours (186.00±14.25 vs. 14.23±3.26,P< 0.01), followed by a gradual lowering, back to normal level at 72 hours.ConclusionThe results suggest that progressive renal damage occurred in the rats with SHS within 24 hours, and it was accompanied with elevated levels of MPO, TNF-α and IL-6 in the kidney homogenate, suggesting that inhibition of neutrophil activation and the release of IL-6, TNF-α may protect the SHS associated renal injury.

This study is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) on type 2 diabetic mice model and to provide mechanistic insights into its therapeutic effect. Type 2 diabetic animal model was established with high calorie fat diet and low dose streptozotocin (STZ) injection. Mice were then randomized into 5 groups: model control, FGF21 0.25 and 0.05 μmol x kg(-1) x d(-1) groups, insulin treatment group. Ten age-matched normal KM mouse administered with saline were used as normal controls. Serum glucose, insulin, lipid products and the change of serum and liver tissue inflammation factor levels between five groups of mouse were determined. The results showed that blood glucose, insulin, free fatty acids (FFAs), triglycerides, and inflammatory factor average FGF-21 of type 2 diabetes model group and normal control group were significantly higher (P < 0.01), while compared with insulin group, no difference was significant. Average blood glucose, insulin, blood lipid and inflammatory factor of FGF-21 treatment group compared with type 2 diabetes group was significantly lower (P < 0.01) and insulin group has no difference with the model control group. The results of OGTT and HOMA-IR showed that insulin resistance state was significantly relieved in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, this study demonstrates that FGF-21 significantly remits type 2 diabetic mice model's insulin resistance state and participates in the regulation of inflammatory factor levels and type 2 diabetes metabolic disorders.

A two-dimensional liquid chromatography method was developed for the analysis of rice leaves proteomics based on the coupling of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-reversed-phase liquid chromatography with online tandem mass spectrometry. The influence of pH value of chromatographic mobile phase on the orthogonality of the hydrophilic interaction-reversed-phase two-dimensional liquid chromatography was evaluated by the changes of standard peptide retention. The results indicated that the better orthogonality (R2=0.34113) was achieved from the system with hydrophilic interaction columns(pH 9.3) in the first and C18columns(pH 3.3) in the second LC dimension. Coupled with multiple fraction concatenation strategy,the orthogonality of two-dimensional liquid chromatography was further evaluated in the analysis of complex rice leaf proteins. The results showed that more than 50% of the total peptides were identified less than two times, and the peptides obtained from first-dimension were well distributed across the elution window,indicating that the method showed significant orthogonality in the identification of complex rice leaf proteins. Based on the proteome discoverer software,207345 peptides belonged to 2930 protein clusters were identified.

Objective:To analyze the long-term efficacy and safety of re-irradiation for recurrent glioma.Methods:The data of 52 patients with recurrent gliomas were collected from 2009 to 2019. The median planned targetvolume (PTV) was 73.5 cm 3(49.9-102.7 cm 3) and the median dose was 45.0 Gy (43.0-48.8 Gy). Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival assessment, log-rank test for difference assessment, and Cox’s regression model for multivariate prognostic analysis. Results:The median follow-up time was 32.6 months. The median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) time were 16.1 months (95% CI, 4.1-28.1) and 8.0 months (95% CI, 4.0-12.0). The 1-, 2-and 3-year survival rates were 67%, 43% and 29%, respectively. The 6-month, 1-year and 2-year PFS rates were 67%, 40%, 26%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that KPS score and recurrence time significantly affected the OS ( P=0.012, P=0.001). KPS score and time interval between two radiotherapies significantly impacted the PFS ( P=0.003, P=0.018). Stratified analysis showed that KPS score was the independent prognostic factor of OS and PFS in patients with WHO grade Ⅱ initial pathology and reoperation after recurrence ( P<0.001, P=0.012); clinical manifestation was the independent prognostic factor of OS and PFS in patients with WHO grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ initial pathology ( P=0.006, P=0.044). The overall incidence of adverse reactions was 30.8%. Grade 1 adverse reactions accounted for 25.0%, and 5.8% for grade 2. Conclusions:Re-irradiation for recurrent glioma yields good long-term clinical efficacy and tolerable adverse reactions.
