Objective To investigate the correlation risk factors of diabedc nephropathy(DN)in elderly type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods Eighty-six cases of elderly T2DM were divided into two groups,DN group(43 cases)and NDN group(43 cases).Their age,fasting plasma glucose(FPG),2 hour postprandial glucose(2hPG),triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c),systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP)were observed.Results Compared with that in NDN group,2hPG,TG,SBP,HbA1c wag obviously increased in DN group[(14.13±4.46)mmol/L vs(11.19 ±4.22)mmol/L,(1.51±0.79)mmol/L vs(1.20 ±0.53)mmol/L,(141.16±19.08)mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa)vs(132.79 ±17.40)mn Hg,(7.55±2.09)%vs(6.65±2.02)%](P<0.01 or<0.05).Multiple regression analysis showed that the risk factors of DN included 2hPG and TG.Conclusion DN in T2DM is related with 2hPG and TG.

Objective:To investigate whether transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)through renal arteries can protect kidney from acute tubular necrosis(ATN),so as to lay a foundation for MSC transplantation in treatment of ATN.Methods:Five-week-old nude mice were randomly divided into three groups:normal control group(n=10),acute tubular necrosis(ATN)model group without(n=10)and with MSCs treatment group(n=11).ATN nude mice were induced with 50% glycerin.MSCs labeled with enhanced green fluorescent proteins(EGFP)were injected into kidney through renal arteries.Serum creatinine was determined in all groups and pathological changes of renal tissues were detected using H-E staining.The amount and distribution of the EGFP-marked MSCs in renal tissues were determined with fluorescence microscope.Results:Degeneration and exfoliation of renal tubular epithelial cells,and even renal tubular tamponade with cast-off cells were observed in the ATN group;these pathological changes were mainly located at renal cortex and juncture of renal cortex and medulla.The damages were greatly alleviated in the ATN+MSCs transplantation group,with no swelling of epithelial cells,nuclear condensation or edema.Fourteen days after MSCs transplantation,EGFP positive cells were increased in renal tubules of recipient mice.Conclusion:The MSCs transplantation via renal artery can locate in renal tubular epithelium,and promote the repair of injured renal tubular epithelial cells.

OBJECTIVE: To prepare bezafibrate osmotic pump tablets(BOPT) and optimize its formulation by central composite design-response surface methodology(CCDRSM).METHODS: The amount of polyoxyethylene(PEO) N80 which used as an adjuvant of Bezafibrate osmotic pump tablets(A),the amount of Na2CO3(B),and the coating weight increase(C) were used as 3 factors for investigation,and the cumulative release amount at 1 h and 6 h respectively,and the linear correlation coefficient(r) of the cumulative release amount versus time were taken as indexes.The formulation of BOPT was optimized by CCDRSM and the optimized formulation was verified.RESULTS: The optimized formulation obtained was as follows: A 40 mg,B 20 mg,and C 29 mg.The tablets prepared in optimized formulation demonstrated good release behavior,with the absolute value of deviation of each index being less than 5%.CONCLUSION: The CCDRSM can be applied to optimize the formulation of BOPT and the established model is of satisfactory predictive value.

Objective To explore the relationship between sleep disorders and polysomnography parameters and serum 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)levels in Parkinson's disease patients.Methods 80 Parkinson's disease patients admitted of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine from July 2021 to June 2023 were collected,and based on the Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)score divided them into study group(n=46,PSQI>10 points)and control group(n=34,PSQI≤10 points).Overnight polysomnography monitoring on two groups of patients was conducted,serum 5-HT levels were detected,polysomnography parameters and serum 5-HT levels between two groups were compared,and the correlation between sleep disorders and polysomnography parameters and serum 5-HT levels were analyzed.Results The total sleep time of study group was significantly shorter than that of control greup,sleep efficiency,and minimum blood oxygen saturation of study group were significantly lower than those of control group(P<0.05).The serum 5-HT levels in study group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05).Correlation analysis showed that the PSQI score was negatively correlated with total sleep time,sleep efficiency,minimum blood oxygen saturation,and serum 5-HT levels(P<0.05).Conclusion Sleep disorders in Parkinson's disease patients are associated with decreased total sleep time,sleep efficiency,minimum blood oxygen saturation and serum 5-HT levels.
