Objective To explore the mechanism of rapamycin-eluted stent in vascular endothelial injury. Meth?ods (1)Rapamycin (rapamycin group) was injected to rabbit dorsum muscle to simulate rapamycin-eluted stent implanta?tion into muscles. Control group and acetone control group were established at the same time. Morphological change in mus?cle was observed and serum calcium levels were measured after rapamycin injection.(2)HUVECs were incubated with 0.1, 1, 10 and 100μg/L rapamycin for 48 h respectively or with 1μg/L rapamycin for 6, 12, 24 and 48 h respectively.Cell via?bility was examined by MTT and its relationship with drug concentration and treatment time were analyzed.(3)HUVECs were divided into control group and 1μg/L rapamycin group. After 48 h,morphological changes of HUVECs were assessed by HE staining,the production of nitric oxide was examined by Nitric Oxide Assay Kit and the intracellular calcium ion con?centration was tagged with Fluo-3/AM. Results (1) Organizational morphology in local muscle with rapamycin injection represent stent implantation of rabbit,and calcium content in local muscle increased significantly in rapamycin group com?pared with nomal control group and acetone control group(P<0.05). (2) Cell survival rate decreased significantly upon ad?ministration of rapamycin in both concentration and time dependent manner(P<0.01). (3) In rapamycin group, cytoplasm vacuoles, nucleus pycnosis and nuclear fragmentation were observed;compared with control group,the levels of intracellular free Ca2+increased while the levels of nitric oxide was reduced. Conclusion Rapamycin treatment lead of injury to vascular endothelial cells which might through up-regulating intracellular Ca2+level.

Objective To investigate the effects of ulinastatin (UTI) combined with magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate (MgIG) on the expression of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in lung tis?sue of rats with pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin (BLM). Methods Ninety Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: BLM group, methylprednisolone (MTH) group, UTI group, MgIG group and UTI combined with MgIG (UTI+MgIG) group, n=18 for each group. The rat model of pulmonary fibrosis was established by injecting bleomycin through tra?chea in five groups. Twenty-four hours after treatment with BLM,rats were treated with normal saline every day in BLM group, and rats were treated by corresponding drugs in other groups. Six rats of each group were killed at the 7th,14th and 28th day respectively. The pathological changes of alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis were evaluated by HE staining, and ex?pression levels of TGF-β1 and CTGF in lung tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry method. Results (1) Com?pared with BLM group, the degree of alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis was reduced in other groups. There was significant dif?ference in alveolitis at the 7th and 14th day between UTI+MgIG group and BLM group. And there was significant difference in pulmonary fibrosis at the 14th and 28th day between UTI+MgIG group and BLM group (P<0.05). (2) Compared with BLM group, the expression levels of TGF-β1 and CTGF were decreased in other groups. In UTI+MgIG group, the expres?sion levels of TGF-β1 were significantly lower at the 7th and 14th day compared with those in UTI group and MgIG group, and which were significantly lower at the 28th day than those in MTH group, UTI group and MgIG group (P<0.05). The ex?pression levels of CTGF were significantly lower at the 7th day in UTI + MgIG group than those in UTI group and MgIG group, and which were significantly lower at the 14th and 28th day than those in MTH group, UTI group and MgIG group (P<0.05). Conclusion The combination of UTI and MgIG can alleviate alveolitis and fibrosis in BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis rats, which might related with the down-regulation of TGF-β1 and CTGF expressions.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of blood concentration monitoring of cylosporin A(CsA) in patients with nephrotic syndrome(NS)on efficacy and safety. METHODS:The medical records of 154 NS patients receiving CsA and blood concentration monitoring in nephrology department of China-Japan Friendship Hospital during Jan. 2014-Aug. 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The results of blood concentration monitoring in 63 adult inpatients with refractory NS receiving CsA for the first time within 6 months of initial treatment were analyzed statistically. The relationship of blood concentration monitoring with efficacy and safety was analyzed. RESULTS:The blood concentration of CsA in 154 patients were monitored for 512 times with an average of 3.32 times/person,and average blood concentration was(125.98±105.13)ng/mL. The patients with blood concentration of CsA＜100 ng/mL accounted for 44.14%. There was no statistical significance in average monitoring times or average blood concentration between male and female,average blood concentration of CsA among different age groups (P＞0.05). The blood concentration was monitored for 237 times in 63 adult inpatients with refractory NS receiving CsA for the first time within 6 months of initial treatment(induction period). Average blood concentration of effective group were significantly higher than ineffective group;the proportion of effective group with blood concentration＜100 ng/mL was significantly lower than that of ineffective group,with statistical significance (P＜0.05). Among 63 patients,17 patients suffered from ADR (the incidence of ADR was 26.98%). The average blood concentrations of ADR patients were significantly higher than those without ADR;the monitoring times of ADR patients with blood concentration＞150 ng/mL was significantly higher than those without ADR,with statistical significance(P＜0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between effective group and ineffective group (P＞0.05). Among effective group,there was no statistically significance in average blood concentration between ADR patients and patients without ADR(P＞0.05);the monitoring times of ADR patients with blood concentration＞150 ng/mL was significantly higher than patients without ADR,with statistical significance(P＜0.05). With the increase of monitoring times,the incidence of ADR decreased gradually. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR among patients who were monitored for different times (P＞0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The pharmacokinetics of CsA varies in different patients and many factors affect its blood concentration. The changes of blood concentration affect the efficacy and safety of CsA. It is difficult to determine the dosage of CsA based on experience in the treatment of NS with CsA. Great importance should be attached to blood concentration monitoring of CsA and the implementation of individualized dosage regimen based monitoring results so as to improve therapeutic efficacy and reduce the occurrence of ADR.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of peroneal osteotomy combined with arthroscopic knee debridement on perioperative indexes, X-ray indexes, Japanese Orthopaedic Association Assessment score (JOA score), American Hospital for Special Surgery knee score (HSS score) and complication rate of patients with knee osteoarthritis.Methods:A prospective research method was adopted. A total of 110 patients with knee osteoarthritis who were admitted to Chengde Central Hospital from April 2016 to April 2021 were selected as the research objects and divided into the control group (55 cases), the combined group (55 cases) by random number table method. The control group underwent arthroscopic debridement of the knee joint. On the basis of the control group, the combined group was combined with fibula osteotomy. The control group and the combined group were followed up for 6 months after operation. The perioperative indicators, score of JOA before and after 1 month of treatment, X-ray indicators, score of HSS before and after 6 months of treatment, and the incidence of complications during the follow-up period were compared between the control group and the combined group.Results:The operation time of the combined group was longer than that of the control group: (84.36 ± 14.64) min vs. (75.88 ± 12.86) min; compared with before operation, 1 month after operation, the scores of swelling, pain while up and down stairs, walking pain, joint range of motion were increased in the control group and the combined group, and the combined group was higher than the control group: (8.35 ± 0.73) points vs. (6.74 ± 0.67) points, (15.05 ± 1.74) points vs. (13.96±1.66) points, (21.75 ± 2.07) points vs. (18.58 ± 1.73) points, (27.59 ± 3.25) points vs. (25.74 ± 2.83) points; the femoral tibial angle and the range of motion of the knee joint in the control group and the combined group were increased, and the combined group was greater than the control group: (1.94 ± 0.60)° vs. (3.02 ± 0.67)°; the scores of stability, flexion deformity, muscle strength, range of motion, function, and pain in the control group and the combined group increased, and the combined group was higher than the control group: (8.62 ± 0.86) points vs. (6.89 ± 0.78) points, (7.86 ± 0.96) points vs. (6.27 ± 0.68) points, (7.79 ± 0.62) points vs. (6.95 ± 0.57) points, (14.95 ± 2.60) points vs. (12.48 ± 2.33) points, (17.46 ± 2.21) points vs. (14.59 ± 1.76) points, (24.83 ± 3.25) points vs. (18.59 ± 2.57) points, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). During the following up period, there were no significant differences in the incidences of osteofascial compartment syndrome, neurovascular injury, intraarticular adhesion and incision infection between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The operation time of fibular osteotomy combined with arthroscopic debridement of knee joint in patients with knee osteoarthritis was longer, but fibular osteotomy combined with arthroscopic debridement of the knee joint can reduce the valgus of the patient and improve the range of motion of the joint. It could effectively reduce the degree of pain and improve the function of knee joint, and the safety was good, with good therapeutic effect.

Objective To observe the host response and the expression of interleukin-4 (IL-4) in different cross-linked hyaluronic acid composite gels at different time points after the implantation in vivo, and to explore the significance of biocompatibility and macrophage polarization in post-implantation inflammatory response and tissue remodeling. Methods New Zealand white rabbits were respectively injected with crosslinked hyaluronic acid-crosslinked hydroxypropyl methylcellulose gel (sample 1), crosslinked hyaluronic acid-hydroxypropyl methylcellulose gel (sample 2) and commercially available modified sodium hyaluronate gel (control) in subcutaneous tissue at both sides of the spine. Then the rabbits were dissected at 1, 4 and 12 weeks after the implantation. The tissues were fixed with 10％formaldehyde solution, embedded in paraffin and sliced. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was performed to observe the degree of inflammation and fibrosis. Masson staining was performed to observe the formation of collagen fibers. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to observe the expression of IL-4. Results The results of HE staining showed that the inflammatory reaction in the sample 1 and sample 2 groups was significantly higher than that in the control group 1 and 4 weeks after the implantation. The inflammatory cells aggregated, and the wall of capsule and microcapsule was thick. The sample 1 group was more obvious, and the result was mild stimulation. For all the groups, the results were all non-irritating at 12 weeks after the implantation. The results of Masson staining showed that the collagen fibers in the sample 1 and sample 2 groups were increased compared with the control group, mainly distributed around the implantation site, and a small amount among the gels after 1 and 4 weeks. After 12 weeks, the collagen fibers were further increased, especially among the gels, which were consistent with the control group. The results of immunohistochemical staining showed that, at the same time point, the expression of IL-4 in sample 1 and sample 2 groups was higher than that in the control group, and the expression of IL-4 increased gradually with time. The expression of IL-4 in the control and sample 1 group at 12 weeks after the implantation was higher than that at 1 and 4 weeks respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). In the sample 1 group, the expression of IL-4 at 12 weeks after the implantation was higher than that at 1 week, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The expression of IL-4 in the sample 1 group was significantly higher than that in the control group at 4 weeks after the implantation, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions The two different cross-linked sodium hyaluronate composite gels have good biocompatibility. The formation of collagen fiber and the expression of IL-4 can gradually increased within 12 weeks after the subcutaneous implantation, which is beneficial to the tissue remodeling.

However, the detection accuracy of pregnant women with twin pregnancy needs to be improved.

OBJECTIVE：To study the effects of couplet medicine of Rheum p almatum-Salvia miltiorrhiza on the contents of enterogenous urotoxin and intestinal barrier function in chronic renal failure （CRF）model rats. METHODS ：Totally 55 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation group （10 rats）and modeling group （45 rats）. In sham operation group ，the kidneys were isolated but not removed ；CRF model was reproduced by 5/6 nephrectomy in modeling group. After modeling （excluding 5 dead and non-modeling rats ），modeling rats were divided into model group （water），Niaoduqing granules group （2.5 g/kg），couplet medicine of R. palmatum -S. miltiorrhiza groups（6，3 g/kg，by crude drug ），with 10 rats in each group. Sham operation group and model group were given constant volume of water intragastrically. Administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically ，once a day ，for consecutive 12 weeks. After last administration ，the contents of creatinine （Scr）and urea nitrogen（BUN）in serum ，the content of urinary creatinine （Ucr） in urine were determined by automatic biochemical analyzer；creatinine clearance rate （Ccr）was calculated. The contents of enterogenous urotoxin [trimethylamine-N-oxide （TMAO），indoxyl sulfate （IS）and p-cresyl sulphate （PCS）] were determined by UPLC-ESI-MS/MS. Real-time RT-PCR and immunofluorescence assay were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of Occludin and ZO-1 in the ileum tissue. HE staining and Masson staining were used to observe the pathologi cal changes of renal tissue. The ultrastructural changes of rat colon were observed by transmission electron microscope. RESULTS ：Compared with sham operation group ，serum contents of Scr，BUN，TMAO，PCS and IS were increased significantly in model group （P＜0.01），while urine content of Ucr ，Ccr，mRNA and protein expression of Occludin and ZO- 1 in ileum tissue were decreased significantly （P＜0.01）；renal glomerulosclerosis ， renal tubules dilation and inflammatory invasion and fibrosisin the interstitium were all found ；the intestinal epithelial barrier structure of colon tissue was severely damaged. Compared with model group ，serum contents of Scr ，BUN，TMAO，PCS and IS were decreased significantly in administration groups （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）；the mRNA and protein expression of Occludin and ZO-1 in the ileum tissue were increased significantly （except for mRNA expression of ZO- 1 in R. palmatum -S. miltiorrhiza low-dose group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）；the infiltration of inflammatory cells in renal interstitium ，the degree of fibrosis and the damage of intestinal epithelial barrier structure in colon tissue were reduced. CONCLUSIONS ：Couplet medicine of R. palmatum -S. miltiorrhiza can effectively protect the residual renal function of CRF model rats ，the mechanism of which may be associated with reducing the serum contents of enterogenous urotoxin ，up-regulating mRNA and protein expresssion of Occludin and ZO- 1 in the ileum tissue so as to improve intestinal barrier function.
