Objective To observe the effects of gossypol on expressions of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), fibronectin (FN) and 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD) in nephridial tissue in rats with diabetes mellitus. Methods Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: normal control, type 2 diabetes and gossypol treatment group . After high-fat feeding for 4 weeks, the later two groups were injected with low dosage strepozotocin (30 mg/kg) intraperitoneally to induce type 2 diabetic rat model. The rats in gossypol treated group were given gossypol at the dosage of 15 mg/kg once per day for 4 weeks by gavage. And since the 5th week, the times of gavages had been changed into once per week at the same dosage and lasted to the 12th week . The levels of blood glucose, total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c) were measured. Additionally, the morphological changes of the kidney were studied by light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy respectively. The mRNA expressions of TGF-β1, FN, 11β-HSD and 11β-HSD2 in nephridial tissue were assayed by semi-quantity RT-PCR. The protein expressions of TGF-β1 and FN in nephridial tissue were determined by immunohistochemistry. Results The blood levels of glucose, TC and LDL- c were increased significantly in type 2 diabetic group compared with normal control group(P<0. 01). The volume of glomerulus and the deposition of PAS positive substance in the glomerular interstitium were increased under light microscopy, and the glomerular basal membrane was thicker in type 2 diabetic group than those in normal control group under transmission electron microscopy. The mRNA and protein expressions of TGF-β1 and FN were increased(P<0. 01), and the mRNA expression of 11β-HSD2 was decreased(P<0. 05), while the mRNA expression of 11β-HSD1 was unchanged in type 2 diabetic group compared with normal control group. After the treatment of gossypol, the level of the blood glucose was significantly decreased(P< 0. 01), and the levels of TC, LDL-c showed a trend of decrease but had no statistical differences compared with type 2 diabetic group. The morphology of nephridial tissue was ameliorated in gossypol treatment group. The mRNA and protein expressions of TGF-β1 and FN were decreased(0. 16± 0. 02,0. 22±0. 05 ; 0. 24±0. 06,0. 33±0. 07, P< 0. 05), while the mRNA expressions of 11β-HSD1 and 11β-HSD2 were unchanged compared with type 2 diabetic group. Conclusions Gossypol can relieve the pathologic changes of nephridial tissue, inhibit the expressions of TGF-β1 and FN through decreasing blood glucose of rats with diabetes mellitus.

Purpose To explore the features of 99Tcm-AnnexinⅤscintigraphy of venous thrombus and its feasibility of discriminating fresh venous thrombus from old one. Materials and Methods The rabbits (n=15) were randomly divided into three groups (fresh thrombus group, old thrombus group and control group). The inferior vena cava thrombus models were developed in the rabbits of thrombus groups by inserting screw cooper wire into inferior vena cava. The rabbits of control group received sham operation. 99Tcm-AnnexinⅤwas injected in the rabbits of fresh thrombus group and control group one day after operation;the same was done in the rabbits of old thrombus group 14 days after operation. Planar anterior abdominal images were obtained at 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after 99Tcm-AnnexinⅤinjection in all groups respectively. The ratios of thrombus to background of the two thrombus groups and the ratios of the area correspondent to the thrombus groups to background of the control group were calculated by ROIs counts. Then rabbits were executed, and thrombus was used for pathology examination. Results 99Tcm-AnnexinⅤuptake in thrombi was clearly visualized in all rabbits of the fresh thrombus group;whilst negative images showed in all rabbits of the old thrombus group and control group. The thrombus to background ratios of the fresh thrombus group (4.06±0.49) were higher than that of the old thrombus group (2.46±0.38), and also higher than the inferior vena cava below inferior pole of right kidney level to background ratios (2.27±0.24) of the control group (t=5.746, 7.318;P<0.05). All the thrombi of the fresh thrombus group were confirmed as fresh mixed thrombi by HE staining, and those of the old thrombus group were confirmed as old mixed organized thrombi. Conclusion 99Tcm-AnnexinⅤmay become a new acute venous thrombus imaging tracer used to discriminate fresh venous thrombus from old one.

Objective To observe the effect of dexmedetomidine in cerebral aneurysm embolization in pa-tients with hypertension. Methods Sixty patients with hypertension undergoing emergency cerebral aneurysm em-bolization were randomly divided into two groups:research group(dexmedetomidine given group) and control group. SBP,DBP,HR,plasma norepinephrine(NE):baseline value(T0),before intubation(T1),after intubation (T2),after extubation(T3). Extubation time and anesthetic-related complications were also recorded. Results The hemodynamic parameters and plasma norepinephrine concentration in the research group were more stable than those in the control group at different time point during perioperative period. There was no difference between two groups about extubation time. The incidence of anesthetic-related complications in research group was lower than control group(P < 0.05). Conclusions Dexmedetomidine can reduce the stress response of intubation ,extuba-tion and perioperative hemodynamic fluctuations in cerebral aneurysm embolization in patients with hypertension. It can also reduce the consumption of prorofol and the incidences of adverse effects.

Objective To observe the onset of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) senescence induced by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP) and the intervention effect of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Methods The VSMCs were divided into four groups: blank control group, t-BHP group (incubated with 80 μmol/L t-BHP for 72 h), 10 nmol/L DHEA intervention group (pretreated with 10 nmol/L DHEA 30 min before t-BHP) and 100 nmol/L DHEA intervention group (pretreated with 100nmol/L DHEA 30 min before t-BHP). Two ageing markers of ageing associated β-galactosidase activity and cell proliferation activity were adopted as main indexes. β-galactosidase activity was measured with immunocytochemical method and cell proliferation activity was measured with flowcytometry. Results After continuous treatment with 80 mmol/L t-BHP for 72 h, the ratios of G0/G1 phase cells and SA-β-galactosidase staining positive cells increased as compared with blank controlgroup [(89.4±3.4)% vs. (49.5±5.5)%, (3.5±1.2)% vs. (75.3±4.3)%], which indicated that VSMCs senescence were successfully induced by t-BHP. While the above changes were smaller in 100 nmol/L DHEA intervention group than in t-BHP group. Conclusions With ageing,accumulation of damage produced by reactive oxygen species may be an important mechanism causing the onset of VSMCs senescence. DHEA may be able to retard the progression of VSMCs senescence through antioxidant effect.

Objective To investigate the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs894278 and rs11931074 of α-synuclein (SNCA) and non motor symptoms in Parkinson' s disease (PD).Methods One hundred and twenty PD patients and 100 healthy controls enrolled from Tonglu Hospital Affiliated to Ruijin Hospital and Ruijin Hospital,Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from 2012 to 2014 were recruited and the motor subscale of the Unified Parkinson' s Disease Rating Scale Ⅲ (UPDRS-Ⅲ) was used to evaluate motor function.The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE),17-item Hamilton Rating Scale (HAMD-17),the Rapid Eye Movement Behavior Disorder Screening Questionnaire (RBDSQ) and the ROME-Ⅲ criteria for chronic constipation were used to evaluate non motor symptoms.SNCA SNPs (rs894278,rs11931074) were genotyped by direct sequencing.Results There was no statistically significant difference in age,sex,non motor symptoms scores among the three genotypes of the two SNPs in control group.There was no statistically significant difference in age,sex,UPDRS-Ⅲ scores and Hoehn-Yahr stage among the three genotypes of the two SNPs in PD group.The results demonstrated that there was no association between the two SNPs and RBDSQ scores,HAMD-17 scores,MMSE scores and constipation in PD patients.However,additional analysis showed that patients with GG rs894278 had a greater proportion of clinical probable RBD than those with GT and TT types (GG 52.2%,12/23;GT 18.2%,10/55;TT 21.4%,9/42;x2 =9.254,P=0.002;x2 =6.424,P=0.005).In Logistic regression analyses adjusting for age and sex,we observed that rs894278 GG genotype could increase the risk of RBD in PD patients (OR =5.367,95% CI =1.607-17.925,P =0.006).There was no association of RBD with allelic and genotypic distributions of SNCA rs11931074.Conclusion The results indicate that the rs894278 polymorphism correlates with RBD,while rs11931074 does not.
