BACKGROUND: Most of the literatures only reported that there is a great difference between diabetics who have a high 24-hour urinary albumin excretion rate and those without renal damage, but there is no obvious difference between cases of microalbuminuria and those without renal damage.OBJECTIVE: To probe into the relationship between diabetic nephropathy and osteoporosis.DESIGN: A case-control study.SETTING: Department of Endocrinology, West China Hospital of Sichuan University.PARTICIPANTS: According to the diagnostic standard set by the American Diabetes Association in 1997 (fasting blood glucose ≥ 7 mmol/L,postprandial blood glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/L), 96 diabetic patients were selected, including 56 males < 60 years old and 40 females who had not entered the menopausal period, excluding the influence of age and osteoporosis caused by menopause. The average age of the subjects was (48.7±10.5)years, their duration were from one month to twenty-one years with the aver age of (7.85±2.56) years, and their general information had no significant differences.METHODS: According to the urine albumine excretion rate and renal function, the patients were divided into four groups: normal albuminuria group (n=48), microalbuminuria group (n=28), macroalbuminuria group (n=15), renal failure group (n=5). The bone mineral densities of lumbar spines (L2-4), femoral neck, Ward's triangle and trochanter were detected with Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, and then the fasting blood glucose,2-hour postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin A, alkaline phosphatase, calcium, phosphorus, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and urine albumine excretion rate were compared between the patients with and without osteoporosis.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The fasting blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin A, alkaline phosphatase, calcium, phosphorus, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and urine albumine excretion rate, as well as the bone mineral density, were observed in all the patients.RESULTS: The L2-3 bone mineral density in the macroalbuminuria group was significantly different from that in the microalbuminuria group (P < 0.05). The proximal femur bone mineral density in the microalbuminuria group was significantly different from that in the normal albuminuria group (P < 0.05). The bone mineral densities of proximal femur and lumbar spine in the renal failure group were significantly decreased as compared with those in the other groups (P < 0.01). The disease course,glycosylated hemoglobin A, alkaline phosphatase and body mass index were significantly different between the patients with and without osteoporosis (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: The incidence rate of osteoporosis is increased with the aggravation of nephropathy, and diabetic nephropathy may be closely correlated with the decrease of bone mineral density and the occurrence of osteoporosis.

Aim To investigate the effect of CD44 anti-body-A3 D8 on the expression of IL-3 Rα and down-stream PI3K/Akt in NB4 cells. Methods The ex-pression of IL-3 Rα mRNA was detected by real-time quantitative RT-PCR, the IL-3Rα protein expression and changes of PI3 K/Akt signal pathway in NB4 cells treated with A3D8 were analyzed by Western blot. An-nexin-V-FITC/PI double staining flow cytometry was u-tilized to detect the apoptotic cells. The inhibitor of PI3 K/Akt signaling LY294002 combined with A3 D8 was used to inhibit the PI3K/Akt in NB4 cells. Re-sults After treated with A3 D8 , both the transcription-al level and translational level of IL-3 Rα were remark-ably reduced, and the PI3K/Akt pathway was inhibi-ted. LY294002 improved the inhibitory and apoptotic effects of A3D8 on NB4 cells. Conclusion CD44 antibody A3 D8 can downregulate the expression of IL-3Rα and inhibit the downstream PI3K/Akt pathway.

Radiation?induced heart disease ( RIHD) is a common type of radiation?induced damages in chest radiotherapy. There are no obvious short?term symptoms in patients with RIHD. However, RIHD causes irreversible permanent damages to the heart over time, which undermines the quality of life. Patients with severe RIHD even have a risk of death from myocardial infarction caused by coronary atherosclerosis. This paper summarizes the research advances in epidemiology, diagnosis, mechanisms of radiation?induced injury in various parts of the heart, radiotherapy techniques, and treatment. Reduction in radiation range and dose, early diagnosis, and early treatment are recommended for patients to reduce heart injury and improve the quality of life.

Objective To explore the value of prenatal diagnosis and sonographic features of Joubert syndrome and related disease (JSRD). Methods From April 2013 to August 2013, a fetal suspected hydrocephaly and the child of the same family were studied in Southern Medical University Afifliated Shenzhen Maternity&Child Healthcare Hospital. The fetal underwent ultrasonographic imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, genetic test and autopsy. The propositus underwent magnetic resonance imaging, genetic test and clinical test. The magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonographic imaging features of the JSRD were analysed. Results (1) Ultrasound results:′cleft sign′was detected because of the fetus cerebellar vermis dysplasia. The width of left ventricle was 2.3 cm. (2) MRI results:Both the fetal and the propositus showed′molar tooth sign′and′cleft sign′. (3) Genetic test results:Both of them had the mutations of CC2D2A gene at chromosome 4p15.32. (4) Fetal autopsy results:fetal cerebellar vermis hypoplasia and cerebellar hemispheres moved closer to the midline. (5) Clinical test result:the propositus had poor audio-visual reaction, looked instability, poor head-eye coordination, upper eyelid lifting fatigue, mental retardation and ataxia. His mouth crooked when he was crying. (6) The electroencephalogram results:the EEG with abnormal 3-4 Hz coming from occipital cortex showed poor sleep background. Frontal area launched sharp wave frequently. It was more obvious on the right area. Conclusions It is easy to diagnose JSRD according to the′molar tooth sign′,′cleft sign′,′bat wing sign′and the clinical features. The′molar tooth sign′on prenatal MRI may prompt JSRD risk, but it is not speciifc. Prenatal ultrasonographic features of cerebellar vermis hypogenesis provide some clues for the diagnosis.
