Objective To discuss the effect of Cordyceps sinensis liquid on Diabetic Nephropathy renal tubular epithelial cell transdifferentiation.Methods Diabetic Nephropathy renal tubular epithelial cells were treated with different dose of Cordyceps sinensis liquid and high glucose,and divided into five groups.Control group was added 5.5 mmol/L D-glucose,High glucose group was added 30 mmol/L D-glucose, Experimental group 1 was added 30 mmol/L D-glucose and 5μg/mL Cordyceps sinensis liquid,Experimental group 2 was added 30 mmol/L D-glucose and 10 μg/mL Cordyceps sinensis liquid,Experimental group 3 was added 30 mmol/L D-glucose and 20 μg/mL Cordyceps sinensis liquid.The expression of E-cadherin protein,FN protein,α-SMA protein and ILK protein in each group were detected by western blot. Results Compared with control group,the expression of E-cadherin protein in high glucose was decreased significantly(P<0.01),and with the addition of Cordyceps bacteria increases,E-cadherin protein expression in three Experiment group were gradually increased(P<0.01).Compared with control group,the expression ofα-SMA protein and FN protein in High glucose group were increased significantly (P <0.01 ),and both two protein in Experiment group 2 and Experiment 3 were significantly lower than High glucose group(P<0.01).Compared with control group,the expression of ILK protein in high glucose group was significantly higher(P<0.01 ),and its expression in Experiment group 3 was significantly lower than High glucose group (P<0.01 ). Conclusion Cordyceps sinensis liquid can inhibit diabetic nephropathy renal tubular epithelial cell translating into myofibroblast,then inhibit renal tubule interstitial fibrosis.

Objective To detect the pathological expressions of TNF-? and VEGF in interspinous ligament of patients with ankylosing spondylitis(AS) in active stage. Methods The expressions of TNF-? mRNA and VEGF mRNA in the interspinous ligament of patient with AS group and control group were detected by hybridization in situ. Their different results were compared by image analysis system and the correlation between TNF-? mRNA, VEGF mRNA and both AS disease active index (DAI) and C reactive protein (CRP) was analysed respectively. Results The expressions of TNF-? mRNA and VEGF mRNA in the interspinous ligament of patients with active AS were positive,but those of the control group were negtive. Statistical differences existed in the positive cell numbers and in image gray scale value of AS group (P

Objective To explore a safe and effective posterior surgical operation for correction of the horacolumbar kyphotic deformity. Methods The study involved 16 patients with thoracolumbar kyphotic deformity treated with the modified posterior transpedicular-intervertebral disc wedge resection osteotomy and screws-rods internal fixation apparatus.There were 11 males and 5 females at an average age of 26.5 years(13-53 years).The kyphosis deformity was caused by ankylosing spondylit in four patients,old lumbothoracic fracture in nine,vertebral dysplasia in two and vertebral body in one.The preoperative kyphosis Cobb angle was 58.1(45°-85°),with the kyphosis deformity at T10 in two patients,at Thin two,at T12in six,at L1 in three and at L2 in three.The main clinical manifestations were different degrees of lower back pain and progressive aggravation of the deformity,influencing the work and living.The course of disease was 8.5 years(4-17 years).All patients underwent pesteriortotal vertebral osteotomy on the apex vertebra,trails-pedicular fixation combined with correction and fusion,after which the patients stayed in bed for four weeks and received orthosis fixation for three months after operation. Resuits The operation lasted for average 190 minutes(125-240 minutes),with average blood loss of 750 ml(450-1 900 m1).All patients were with single segment cut bone,with no spinal cord injury,neurological injury or hardware failure.The post-operative vertical plane facial deformity was corrected for average 55(44°-76°),wit average correction rate of 83%.The follow-up for 10-24 months showed firm internal fixation on the X-ray film and good fusion ofthe vertebral column,with no pseudoarticulation formation,loosening internal fixation or loss of correction.All the patients obtained obvious improvement in appearance of the deformity,with disappearance of the lower back pain and improvement of the quality of life. Conclusion One stage posterior transpedicular-interverte-bral disc wedge resection osteotomy is all effect and safe surgical technique for correction of horacolumbar kyphotic deformity.
