Objective To discuss the clinical effect of behavioral therapy combined with pramipexole in patients’ degree of depression and non-motor symptoms in early-onset Parkinson’s disease and depression.Methods A total of 74 cases of patients with early-onset Parkinson’s disease and depression were equally divided into observation group and control group, 37 cases in each groups.Patients in control group were given pramipexole, while patients in observation group were given pramipexole and behavioral therapy.The hamilton depression ( HAMD) scale, Zung self-rating depression scale and unified Parkinson’s disease rating scale ( UPDRS ) were used to evaluate and measure the change of degree of depression and non-motor symptoms.Results Before treatment, the HAMD score, Zung score, UPDRS II score and UPDRS III score between two groups had no statistical difference; after treatment, the HAMD score, Zung score, UPDRS II score and UPDRS III score in two groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05). The HAMD score, and Zung score between two groups had no statistical difference at the end of 4th weekends, and compared with control group, those scores in observation group were much better at the end of 8th and 12th weekend (P<0.05).The UPDRS II and UPDRS III between two group had no statistical difference at the end of 4-8th week, while those scores in observation group were better than those in control group at the end of 12th week(P<0.05).Conclusion Behavioral therapy combined with pramipexole has a great effect on the improvement of patients’ degree of depression and non-motor symptoms, which has a positive promotion on patients’ life quality.

Objective In previous study,we carried out refined mapping of loss of heterzygosity (LOH) on 1q31.1-32.1 and found that a minimal region of frequent deletion was located at DIS413-D1S2622,which indicated that the region could harbor a tumor suppressor gene associated with colorectal carcinoma.This study was to screen for the potential tumor suppressor gene (TSG) on D1S413-D1S2622 in Chinese origin patients with sporadic colorectal cancer.Methods 25 genes located in the D1S413-D1S2622 region were chosen and a microarray-based high throughput screening conducted in 19 sporadic colorectal cancers to identify candidate tumor suppressor genes.The relationship between expression levels of candidate genes and the clinicopathological data was analyzed.Real-time PCR was performed to validate the microarray results.Results According to the microarray-based high throughput screening,we found 4 significantly down-expressed genes,including CSRP1,LMOD1,PPP1R12B and CFHL3.There was no significant association between of CFHL3,CSRP1,LMOD1,PPP1R12B expression and the clinicopathological data.CSRP1 could be a colorectal cancer related tumor suppressor gene.CSRP1 was down-regulated in colorectal cancer.Conclusions CSRP1 might be involved in the progression of colorectal cancer.

Objective To assess the safety and the efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transmural drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts (PPC).Methods A total of 17 patients with PPC who underwent EUS to detect the optimal site and depth of puncture.The needle was punctured into the PPC cavity through endoscopic biopsy hole,cyst fluid was drained with a syringe.The guide wire was inserted along the pinhole under X-ray,and then the needle-knife was sent along the guide wire to cut the gastric wall and pseudocysts wall,followed by balloon dilation.The way of drainage was selected according to the cyst fluid properties.The technical success rate,treatment success rate,complication occurring rate and the skills were evaluated.Results Four patients were with nasalcystic catheter drainage,9 patients with double pigtail stents internal drainage,and 4 patients with nasal-cystic catheter and double pigtail stents combination drainage.The treatment success rates were 3/4,7/9,and 4/4 respectively.Only 1 patient subsequently developed bleeding from puncture site after stent successively placed,and was turned to surgery because of ineffective endoscopic treatment.Infection occurred in 4 patients during drainage,two of those were switched to surgical resection due to poor medical treatment response,and the other 2 were cured with intravenous infusion of antibiotics sensitive to cyst fluid bacteria and metronidazole rinse PPC.The median follow-up duration was 28.5months,and there was none of recurrence.Conclusions EUS-guided transmural drainage of PPC is safe.Stent placement and nasal-cystic catheter play an important role in PPC treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of active vitamin D (VD) on macrophage M1 and M2 phenotype and its role in protecting podocyte impairment in diabetic nephropathy (DN).Methods Diabetes mellitus rats were established by intraperitoneal injection with streptozocin.Rats were randomly divided into four groups:normal-1 (NC-1,n=8),normal-2 (NC-2,n=8,normal rats treated with calcitriol 0.1 μg· kg-1 · d-1 by gavages),DN (n=24) and VD (n=24,DN+calcitriol 0.1 μg· kg-1 · d-1 by gavages).Blood glucose and body weight were assessed,and 24-hour urine was collected regularly.Blood and urine samples were taken for biochemical study,and kidney tissues were used for PAS staining to assess histological changes.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect number of CD68 + macrophage.Western blotting was used to detect protein expressions of nephrin,podocin,CD68,M1 specific marker of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS),TNF-α and M2 specific marker of CD163,arginase 1 (Arg-1),mannose receptor (MR).Results (1) In DN group,levels of BUN,Scr,urinary protein and glomerular mesangial matrix proliferation were significantly higher (P ＜ 0.05),and the expressions of nephrin,podocin were significantly decreased compared with NC groups (P ＜ 0.05).These above changes were significantly improved in VD group (P ＜ 0.05).(2)Number of CD68 + macrophage infiltration in DN group was increased in a time dependent manner compared with NC groups,which was significantly reduced in VD group (P ＜ 0.05).(3)To further definite M1 and M2 macrophage activation phenotype,the protein expressions of iNOS and TNF-α was increased in DN group at 8th,14th,18th weeks compared with NC groups (P ＜ 0.05),which were significantly decreased in VD group (P ＜ 0.05).Although,there were no significant difference of protein expressions of CD163,Arg-1 and MR between VD and DN group at both 8th and 14th week (P ＞ 0.05),the protein expressions of CD163,Arg-1 and MR were higher in VD group at 18th week than that in DN group (P ＜ 0.05),and the ratio of CD163/CD68 was also enhanced in VD group (P ＜0.05).(4)Moreover,the protein expression of iNOS was negatively correlated with expression of either nephrin or podocin (r =-0.707,P ＜ 0.01; r =-0.712,P ＜ 0.01),whereas the protein expression of CD163 was positively correlated with expression of either nephrin or podocin (r =0.627,P＜ 0.01; r=0.613,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Vitamin D can regulate macrophage phenotype,via inhibiting M 1 macrophage activation and enhancing M2 macrophage activation to protect podocyte impairment.

Objective To investigate the effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on high glucose induced podocyte injury and its signal transduction mechanism.Methods Differentiated mouse podocytes were exposed to normal glucose,high glucose,and different concentrations of 1,25(OH)2D3 or LY294002 (a selective PI3K inhibitor) for 24 h.PCR and immunofluorescent staining were used to detect nephrin,podocin,and desmin.Western blotting was used to detect protein expression of nephrin,podocin,desmin,PI3K,Akt and p-Akt.Results Compared with high glucose group,1,25(OH)2D3 (100 nmol/L and 1000 nmol/L) significantly up-regulated the expression of podocin and nephrin in podocytes induced by high glucose (P ＜ 0.05).Meanwhile,1,25(OH)2D3 (100 nmol/L) significantly reduced the expression of desmin (P ＜ 0.05).PI3K and p-Akt were obviously reduced in high glucose group.In the presence of 1,25(OH)2D3,the trends were reversed.However the above effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 were abolished when p-Akt was blocked by the PI3K inhibitor LY294002.Conclusions 1,25 (OH)2D3 can inhibit high glucose-induced pedocyte injury through PI3K/p-Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the effects and underlying mechanism of calcitriol on ameliorating podocytes impairment in DN rats.Methods SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:normal control (NC) group,calcitriol treatment (VD) group:calcitriol 0.1μg· kg--1 d-1,diabetic nephropathy (DN) group:streptozocin (STZ) 58 mg/kg,DN treated with calcitriol (DN + VD) group:calcitriol 0.1 μg · kg-1 · d-1 + STZ 58 mg/kg.Rats were sacrificed at the end of 18 weeks.Results Compared with the DN group,the DN + VD group exhibited significantly lower proteinuria by 36％,improved renal histology at the end of the experiment (P ＜ 0.05),and similar levels of blood glucose,serum urea nitrogen as well as body weight (P ＞ 0.05).There were no significant differences in the serum concentrations of creatinine,calcium and phosphorus among the four groups (P ＞ 0.05).In DN group,the expressions of nephrin,podocin,VDR,PI3K-p85 and p-Akt were significantly decreased and the expression of desmin was increased compared to NC group.Calcitriol treatment could attenuate the above changes.Additionally,a positive correlation was observed between the expressions of nephrin and VDR (r=0.776,P ＜ 0.05).Likewise,the expression of nephrin was positively correlated with either PI3K -p85 or p-Akt (r=-0.736,r=0.855,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Calcitriol can ameliorate podocytes injury in DN rats,which might be related with the further up-regulation of PI3K/p-Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on high glucose induced macrophage activation and its underlying signal transduction mechanism.Methods RAW 264.7 cells were used to perform cell culture,the activity of intracellular iNOS was measured.VDR siRNA and PPARγ antagonist pre-treatment with macrophages were done before using 10-8 mol/L1,25(OH)2D3 to intervene high glucose pre-incubated macrophages.M1 markers including iNOS,TNF-α,IL-12,M2 markers including MR,Arg-1,IL-10 and nuclear receptors VDR and PPARγ were separately examined.Results The iNOS activity was increased in a glucose-dose and time dependent manner.Particularly,25 mmol/L glucose at 24 h gave the maximum response.After being treated with 25 mmol/L glucose for 24 h,not only inflammatory cytokines of TNF-α,IL-12 in the supernatant were increased,but quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting analysis showed iNOS was also up-regulated (P ＜ 0.05).However,M2 markers,i.e.MR and Arg-l were significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.05).When in the presence of 1,25(OH),D3,the trends were reversed:the markers of M1,including TNF-α,IL-12 and iNOS were obviously reduced (P ＜ 0.05),while M2 markers,IL-10,Arg-1 and MR were increased (P ＜ 0.05).In addition,VDR and PPARγ were also increased (P ＜ 0.05).However,the above effects of 1,25 (OH)2D3 were abolished when further inhibited the expression of VDR and PPARγby VDR siRNA and PPARγ antagonist.Besides,accompanied by VDR,PPARγwas also decreased upon the treatment with VDR siRNA (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion 1,25(OH)2D3 can promote high glucose induced classically activated macrophages (M1) converting to alternatively activated macrophages (M2) and this is achieved through VDR-PPARγ pathway.
