Objective To study serum insulin level change and its clinical significance in the patients with chronic kidney dis-ease (CKD).Methods 800 cases of patients with chronic kidney disease were observed with 400 cases of healthy people as control group at the same time.According to whether there was a complication of diabetic,chronic nephropathy was divided into two groups:diabetic nephropathy chronic renal failure group (425 cases)and non-diabetic nephropathy chronic renal failure (375 cases).According to the classification standard,chronic renal failure and the diabetic nephropathy group was di-vided into four groups:type 1 diabetes (105 cases),type 2 diabetes (135 cases),gestational diabetes (95 cases),diabetes with other reasons(90 cases).Relevant clinical information was collected,including age,gender,height,weight,and the cor-responding body mass index (BMI)was calculated based on height and weight.After some laboratory examinations,related parameters of the research were collected,including object of urea(Urea),serum creatinine (SCr),fasting plasma glucose (FPG),fasting insulin (FIns).According to the corresponding formula,insulin sensitive index (ISI)and glomerular filtration rate (GFR)were calculated based on the above parameters.Statistical comparison was made after collection.Results Urea, Scr,FPG and FIns of the patients with chronic kidney disease were significantly higher than those of normal control group (t=36.788,35.612,137.216,9.294;all P=0.000 respectively).Age,gender and BMI calculatedfrom height and weight in three groups had differences,but they were not statistically significant (F=1,363,P=0.256;F=1.577,P=0.454;F=1.641,P=0.194),and had no effect on the occurrence of chronic kidney disease development.Comparison of patients with different types of diabetes and chronic kidney disease,when a group had higher FIns and lower ISI,it also had a smaller GFR,and the differences between groups were statistically significant (F=12.01,P=0.000;F=3.891,P=0.009;F=3.774,P=0.011).Conclusion The serum insulin were closely related to CKD.Observing the serum insulin can have a dee-per understanding of the disease development,make a more effective treatment and predict the probability to be recover.

ObjectiveTo establish the time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TRFIA) method for the detection of serum galectin-3 and investigate the clinical value of serum galectin-3 for the diagnosis of pancreas cancer.MethodsMonoclonal anti-human galectin - 3 antibody and biotinylated polyclonal antibody were used to establish the sandwich TRFIA for detection of serum galectin-3.The optimal experimental condition was studied.Serum levels of galectin-3,CEA and CA19-9 in the patients with pancreatic cancer,benign pancreatic mass,pancreatitis,and healthy controls were measured.The diagnostic value of serum galectin-3,CEA and CA19-9 for pancreas cancer was studied.ResultsThe linearity of the TRFIA for detection of serum galectin3 tanged between 0 to 100 μg/L.The within-run CV and between-run CV were ≤6.45％ and ≤8.68％,respectively,and the average recovery was 106.6％.The level of serum galectin-3 was 4.93 ( 0.85 ～ 23.80) μg/L in pancreatic cancer group,which were significantly higher than those in benign pancreatic mass [2.83 ( 2.17 ～ 4.06) μg/L ],pancreatitis [ 2.62 (0.55 ～ 9.76 ) μg/L ],and healthy controls group [ 1.88 ( 0.59 ～ 3.94) μg/L] (P ＜0.05).By using 3.77 μg/L as the cut-off point,the smsitivity,specificity for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer was 75.5％ and 90.9％.The levels of Gal 3 and CEA,CA19-9 was not correlated ( r =0.1321,P =0.3761 ; r =0.0920,P =0.5384).Combined determination of galactin-3 and CEA,CA19-9 levels could increase the diagnostic sensitivity to 92％.ConclusionsTRFIA method for the detection of galactin-3 is sensitive and stable.Galectin-3 could be a potentially novel serum tumor marker of pancreatic cancer.

The rate of corneal graft rejection is still high for high-risk keratoplasty although immune suppression drug is routinely used.The role of traditional Chinese medicine in corneal transplantation is concerned gradually.Heijingpaichitang on the prevention and treatment of rats with high-risk corneal allograft rejection needs further study.Objective This study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of heijingpaichitang on high-risk corneal transplantation immune rejection in rats.Methods Sixteen female SD rats were used as the donors and 32female Wistar rats were served as recipients.The high-risk corneal trasplantation models were established by corneal suture in 32 Wistar rats,and then homogeneity variant SD-Wistar corneal transplantation was performed.The recipients were randomized into model control group,cyclosporinc A (CsA)group,heijingpaichitang group and CsA +heijingpaichitang group.CsA,heijingpaichitang and CsA + heijingpaichitang was orally administered 4 days after operation once per day for 15 days,and normal saline solution was used at the same way in the model control group.Ocular anterior segment reaction was examined under the slit lamp and corneal opacification,edema and neovasculation were scored based on Larkin' s criteria.Rejection index of the corneal graft was recorded and the graft survival time was calculated.The pathological examination of the corneal graft was carried out in all rats,and the inflammatory cells in the corneas and CD4+ cells in the periphery blood were assayed using flow cytometry.The use of the animals complied with ARVO Statement.Results Corneal graft rejection occurred in 10 days after operation in the model control group,12-13 days in the CsA group and heijingpaichitang group and 22 days in the CsA +heijingpaichitang group.Compared with model control group,the scores of the corneal opacification,corneal edema and neovascularization were significantly lower in the CsA group,heijingpaichitang group and CsA+heijingpaichitang group (P＜0.05),and all the scores were declined in the CsA+ heijingpaichitang group compared with CsA group and heijingpaichitang group(P＜0.01),but no significant differences were seen in the scores between the CsA group and heijingpaichitang group(P＞0.05).The mean survival time of grafts was (10.38 ±1.69)days in the model control group,(22.50 ± 3.07) days in the CsA + heijingpaichitang group,with the significant difference (t =-9.790,P =0.000).The pathological examination of graft showed that the lymphocytes and new blood vessels were less in the CsA+heijingpaichitang group compared with CsA group and heijingpaichitang group 15 days after operation.Flow cytometry verified that the number of lymphocytes in graft,CD4+cells and CD4+/CD8+ in periphery blood were significantly lower in the heijingpaichitang group,CsA group and CsA+heijingpaichitang group compared with model control group (P＜0.05).Conclusions Heijingpaichitang can inhibit immune rejection to certain extent in high-risk corneal transplantation rat and has a similar effect to 0.1％ CsA.Heijingpaichitang and 0.1％ CsA have a synergistic effect.
