Objective To observe the expression of stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) in the kidney after ischemic reperfusion injury (IRI),and explore its relationship with macrophage during the IRI kidney.Methods A total of 28 healthy C57BL/6 male mice were used to establish renal IRI model by clamping both pedicles for 35 min followed by reperfusion.Kidney tissue samples were collected at indicated time points.Renal histological changes were estimated.The expression of SDF-1 was determined by immunohistochemistry,ELISA and real-time PCR.After the liposomal clodronate was injected intraperitoneally,the location of CD68 was observed by immunofluorescence.Renal histology and protein expression of SDF-1 were also detected.Results Compared with sham-operated group,classical tubular damage was found in IRI group,accompanied by a large number of inflammatory cells.The expression of total renal SDF-1 peaked on day 1 and decreased to control levels in the following days.SDF-1 in healthy kidney was localized at cortex,but spread to the corticomedullary area of the kidney during IRI.Compared with IRI groups,elimination of macrophage by injection of liposomal clodronate alleviated renal IRI and down-regulated the expressions of CD68 while up-regulating SDF-1.Conclusions SDF-1 expression is up-regulated in IRI kidney and is associated with macrophage.SDF-1 may play a role in the early phase of acute kidney injury and it may be a new marker in diagnosis of AKI.

Combining the two novelty search work workshops with recent published papers on novelty search in Universities and Colleges,new progresses for science & technology (ST) novelty search in Universities and Colleges have been comprehensive summarized,and some enlightenments have been probed into seminar:a new novelty search experience communication mode and fast development of college ST novelty search work to ST novelty search and innovation.
3.Advances of Vanin-1 in pathogenesis of kidney disease
Journal of Chinese Physician 2020;22(10):1594-1597
Vanin-1 is highly expressed in many organs such as liver, intestine, and kidney. Its main function is mainly related to the activity of pantoyl enzyme mercaptoethylamine. Several studies have shown that Vanin-1 is related to oxidative stress and inflammatory response under physiological conditions, and its role in pathological conditions depends on the diseased organ. This article summarizes the structure, properties, functions of Vanin-1 and its role in the field of kidney disease.

Different from the traditional health technology assessment(HTA), hospital-based health technology assessment(HB-HTA) is mainly based on the perspective of the hospital to carry out economic analysis, commonly used cost-effectiveness analysis combined with budget impact analysis methods. It pays attention to the current medical costs and effects, and supports the hospital′s internal health technology access, purchase pricing, elimination and other decisions. In the context of deepening the reform of medical insurance payment mode in China, the hospital internal medicine decision-making based on HB-HTA is particularly important. Based on the economic characteristics of health technology, the authors analyzed the differences between HB-HTA and traditional HTA in carrying out economic evaluation, introduced the steps, contents, indicators and methods of HB-HTA economic evaluation, and put forward relevant strategic suggestions.
