ObjectiveTo investigate the expression and activity of Rho-associated kinase 1 (ROCK1) in renal tissues of uninephrectomized diabetic rats,and to explore the possible mechanism of renal protection of spironolactone.Methods The model rats were established by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ) after uninephrectomy and randomly divided into sham operation group(N),uninephrectomized control group?,uninephrectomized diabetic group (D),and spironolactone treated group (S).Four and 8 weeks later,biochemical indexes and renal morphology were detected.Expressions of ROCK1 and connect tissue growth factor (CTGF) were examined by immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR.Protein expression of p-MYPT1 was examined by Westem blotting.Results After 4 and 8 weeks,compared with group N and C,blood glucose,systolic blood pressure,24-h urinary protein,kidney weight/body weight (KWI) were significantly increased (P＜0.01),and extracellular matrix proliferation and basement membrane thickening were found in group D.After 8 weeks in group D,Alb significantly decreased and Scr significantly increased (P＜0.05).In group D,protein and mRNA expression of ROCK1 and CTGF increased significantly and protein expression of p-MYPT1 increased significantly as well with time.Treatment with spironolactone could partially reverse those changes. ConclusionsExpression and activity of ROCK1increase in renal tissues of uninephrectomized diabetic rats and are positively correlated with the expression of CTGF.Spironolactone can protect the kidney of diabetic rats in early stage probably through decreasing the expression of ROCK1,CTGF and inhibiting the activation of ROCK1.

Objective To explore the application of gastric(enteric)-pharyngeal anastomosis for cervical esophageal carcinoma. Methods The clinical data of 12 cases with surgical management of cervical esophageal carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed. Results The resectability of cervical esophageal carcinoma was 100%,no case complicated with pharyngeal fistula.Swallowing function of all cases was in a good state.The overall follow-up was 1 to 7 years,among them 9 surviving,3 dead.The surviving 5 cases are over 3 years,the ongest beyond 7 years. Conclusions Gastric(enteric)-pharyngeal anastomosis is a good primarily rehabilitating method of the cervical esophageal defect after surgical treatment of cervical esophageal carcinoma.

AIM: To comparatively analyze the application of laser confocal microscopy and corneal smear in the diagnosis of fungal keratitis.METHODS: Totally 77 patients (77 eyes) diagnosed as fungal keratitis were selected.Laser confocal microscopy and corneal smear examination were performed to observe the characteristics of the images, and the detection rate of fungus were compared between the two methods.RESULTS: Of the 77 patients, 66 eyes (86%) were positive and 11 eyes were negative detected by laser confocal microscopy;51 eyes (66%) were positive and 26 eyes were negative detected by corneal smear examination, the difference was statistically significant compared between two group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Laser corneal confocal microscopy is relatively safe and sensitive.If combined the application of laser corneal confocal microscopy and corneal smear examination in clinical, the diagnosis rate of fungal keratitis may be improved.

OBJECTIVETo seek the plasma differential proteins in patients with unstable angina of blood-stasis pattern (UA-BSS) for exploring the proteomic specialty in them by way of two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE) detection on plasma of patients and healthy persons.

METHODSUsing DIGE and tandem mass spectrometry, comparative proteomic study was conducted on the plasma of 12 UA patients of qi-deficiency and blood-stasis pattern (UA-QBS), 12 UA patients of phlegm-stasis cross-blocking pattern (UA-PSS) and 12 healthy volunteers.

RESULTSPreliminary results showed that Haptoglobin beta chain, DBP, HBB, HBA, Transthyretin, ApoA- I, ApoA-IV were significantly differentially expressed in both patterns, while Haptoglobin alpha1 chain, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, ApoC-III, ApoA-II, ApoC-II, ApoJ, and Haptoglobin alpha 2 chain were only seen differentially expressed in the UA-PSS patients, alpha1-antitrypsin, Fibrinogen gamma chain, and Fibrin beta were only seen differentially expressed in UA-QBS patients.

CONCLUSIONThe common proteomics characteristics of patients of QBS and PSS patterns may be correlated with inflammatory reaction and metabolic disturbance (including blood lipid and blood oxygen).

Background Researches documented that retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) in unaffected carriers of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) becomes thickened in different quadrants to different degrees.But the change of their macular thickness is still unclear.Objective This study was to clarify RNFLT and macular thickness by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in unaffected female carriers of LHON families.Methods Five female LHON patients (5 eyes) from 5 LHON families,eighteen unaffected female carriers (18eyes) from 18 LHON families and twenty-five age-matched healthy female controls (25 eyes) were included in this study.The patients and genetic carriers were diagnosed in PLA General Hospital from 2011 September to 2012 October.Regular ocular examination were performed followed by OCT measurement of retinas.The Optic Disc Cube 200×200 and Macular Cube 200×200 protocols were used during the OCT measurement.Average (360°) RNFLT,RNFLT at four quadrantic sections,cube average macular thickness and macular thickness of nine Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) sub-areas were compared among the LHON genetic carriers,LHON patients and normal controls.Results Compared to the normal control group,significant reduced values were seen in temporal,superior,nasal and inferior side of sub-area macular thickness in the LHON female carriers (P=0.022,0.046,0.024,0.008).In addition,but no significant differences were found in cube average thickness,central subarea macular thickness,temporal,superior,nasal and inferior side of lateral sub-area macular thickness,average RNFLT,and temporal,superior,nasal and inferior quadrant RNFLT between the LHON female carriers and normal controls (P=0.102,0.051,0.238,0.663,0.1 10,0.104,0.419,0.371,0.158,0.063,0.563).Compared to the unaffected female carrier group,female patients showed significant reductions in cube average macular thickness,temporal,superior,nasal and inferior side of sub-area macular thickness,temporal,superior,nasal and inferior side of lateral sub-area mac ular thickness,average R NFLT and temporal,superior,and inferior quadrant RNFLT (P =0.000,0.000,0.000,0.007,0.002,0.002,0.000,0.000,0.040,0.000,0.016,0.000,0.000) except for the central subarea macular thickness and nasal quadrant RNFLT (P=0.388,0.580).Conclusions Unaffected LHON female carriers show a normal peripapillary RNFLT,but the macular thickness at medial sub-area is thinner.This first report offers an information of macular structure change in unaffected LHON female carriers,which suggest that macular damage appears prior to RNFLT change.

The first case of acquired syphilitic skull osteitis accompanied by syphilitic meningitis in China is reported.A 55-year-old female presented with a persistent distending pain of the frontal and occipital regions of the skull for two months.T1 weighted magnetic resonance imaging(MR1) showed muhiple lesions in the skull and linear enhancement of the meninge near the lesions.The serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were positive for Treponema pallidum particle agglutination assay (TPPA) and rapid plasma reagin circle card test(at the dilutions of 1∶32 and 1∶4 respectively).The levels of leukocyte and protein were 10 ×106/L and 0.82 g/L respectively in CSF.TP DNA was detected in the calvarial periosteum.Histopathological examination of the frontal bone showed focally destructive osteolytic lesions with obscure texture of the bone,hyperemia around the destructive bone tissue and in dura mater-like tissues,proliferation of interstitial fibrous tissue,swelling of endothelial cells and inflammatory infiltration predominantly composed of abundant plasma cells.After managed with routine treatment regimen for neurosyphilis,her headache was relieved 3 days later,nearly disappeared 15 days later,completely disappeared 30 days later.No similar headache recurred.A 5year follow up demonstrated a satisfactory long-term and short-term outcome.She was finally diagnosed with syphilitic skull osteitis complicated by syphilitic meningitis.
