Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) on mononuclear cells in peripheral blood and changes of serum vitamin D level in children with bronchiolitis.Methods The children who were diagnosed as bronchiolitis and received treatment in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from October 2013 to January 2014 were chosen as the pre-treatment group,and then divided them into moderate group and severe group according to the clinical symptoms,20 cases for each group.Then the cases in pre-treatment group who recovered after treatment were recruited as the after-treatment group,and the children who were healthy and medical examination in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University in the same period were recruited as the healthy control group.The expressions of TLR4 on CD14 labeled mononuclear cells in the periphera were measured by flow cytometry.The level of 25 (OH) D in serum was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results (1) The expression level in children with bronchiolitis of TLR4:the mode-rate group [(18.98 ±2.29)％] and severe group [(30.13 ±2.13)％] increased significantly (P ＜0.05) compared with control group [(1.17 ± 0.57) ％].And the expression level of moderate group [(2.02 ± 0.48) ％] and severe group [(11.43 ± 1.52) ％] decreased significantly after treatment (P ＜0.05).(2) Serum vitamin D level in children with bronchiolitis of the moderate group[(17.16 ± 3.34) μg/L] and severe group [(6.56 ± 2.28) μg/L] were lower than healthy control group [(53.69 ± 20.18) μg/L] before treatment (P ＜ 0.05),especially the severe group [(6.56 ±2.28) μg/L].The level of moderate group [(9.59 ± 2.31) μg/L] and severe group [(4.70 ± 0.67) μg/L] became lower after treatment (P ＜ 0.05).(3) Both severe group (r =-0.491,P ＜ 0.05) before treatment and moderate group (r =-0.436,P ＜ 0.05) after treatment showed negative correlation between TLR4 on mononuclear cells in peripheral blood and serum 25 (OH)D level in children with bronchiolitis.And no correlation was found among healthy control group,moderate group before treatment and severe group after treatment (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The conditions of children with bronchiolitis was positively correlated with the expression level of TLR4,and negatively correlated with the vitamin D level.The serum 25 (OH) D decreased steadily during the treatment.The expression of TLR4 in monocytes has a certain correlation with the level of vitamin D in children with bronchiolitis.

Objective:To assess the value of urine heat-shock protein-70 (HSP-70) in the early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods:Patients with cardiopulmonary bypass from May 2018 to July 2018 in Henan Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled as subjects. Urine samples were collected before and after cardiopulmonary bypass at 0 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h. Patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes Guide. Urinary HSP-70, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) was determined by immunoturbidimetry. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to calculate the critical value, sensitivity and specificity of urine HSP-70, [TIMP-2]×[IGFBP7] and NGAL for the diagnosis of postoperative AKI after CPB.Results:A total of 45 patients were enrolled in the study. There were 24 cases in AKI group and 21 cases in non-AKI group. The level of urinary HSP-70, [TIMP-2]×[IGFBP7] and NGAL in AKI group were significantly higher than in the non-AKI group at each postoperative time point, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). The level of urinary HSP-70 in AKI group peaked at 2 h after CPB, which was significantly earlier than the peak time of urine [TIMP-2]×[IGFBP7] and urine NGAL (12 h after CBP and 4 h after CBP, respectively). Urinary HSP-70≥2.1 μg/L could predict postoperative AKI of CPB at 2 h after CPB, with the area under the curve ( AUC) of 1.00, the sensitivity of 100.0% and the specificity of 100.0%. Urinary [TIMP-2]×[IGFBP7]>19.1 μg 2/L 2 could predict postoperative AKI of CPB at 12 h after CPB with the AUC of 0.94, the sensitivity of 87.5%, and the specificity of 100.0%. Urinary NGAL>27.4 μg/L could predict postoperative AKI of CPB at 4 h after CPB with the AUC of 0.95, the sensitivity of 95.8%, and the specificity of 85.7%. The positive predictive value of urine HSP-70≥2.1 μg/L at 2 h after CPB was 100.0%, and the negative predictive value was 100.0%. Conclusions:The level of urinary HSP-70 increases earlier than that of urinary [TIMP-2]×[IGFBP7] and NGAL in patients with AKI after CPB. Clinical monitoring of urinary HSP-70 level contributes to early diagnosis of AKI.

Objective:To establish a rat model of neurogenic bladder and analyze the changes in kidney morphology and function and the expression of proteins in AngiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ)/transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)/Smads pathway.Methods:Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into experimental group (spinal nerve amputation, n=36) and control group (sham operation, n=12). At 6, 12, and 24 weeks, the bladder compliance was measured by cystometry, the kidney morphology was detected by B-ultrasound, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Scr) in blood samples were examined, the kidney pathological changes were detected by Masson and HE staining, the distribution of AngⅡ/TGF-β1/Smads pathway proteins was analyzed by immunohistochemisty, and the protein expressions in kidney were detected by Western blotting. Results:Urodynamics showed that the basic bladder pressure in experimental group was higher than that in control group. B-ultrasound showed that compared with the control group, the diameter of the renal pelvis of the rats with nerve dissection gradually increased ( P<0.05), and the hydronephrosis was gradually obvious. Compared with the control group, the BUN and Scr in experimental group gradually increased (both P<0.01). Masson and HE staining showed that compared with the control group, the collagen expression and renal tubulointerstitial scores in experimental group were gradually increased (both P<0.01). Immunohistochemisty showed that compared with the control group, in experimental group the expression of angiotensinⅡ receptor type 1 (AT1), TGF-β receptor 1(TGF-βR1), phosphorylated Smad2 gradually increased (all P<0.01), the pathway inhibitor Smad6 gradually decreased ( P<0.01), and the distribution of each protein in kidney was consistent. Western blotting showed a corresponding expression trend with immunohistochemisty. Conclusions:In neurogenic bladder caused by bilateral spinal nerve amputation, due to bladder dysfunction, increased bladder pressure induces hydronephrosis, destruction of the nephron structure, activation of AngⅡ/TGF-β1/Smads pathway, and renal fibrosis. This method is effective and has clinical similarities, laying a foundation for exploring neurogenic bladder treatment.

The median resolution rate of 17 blood station laboratories by minipool test was 36.36%, the median rate of invalid batch of NAT was 0.67%, and the median rate of invalid result of NAT was 0.07‰. The consistency rate of ELISA dual reagent detection results was (99.63±0.24)%, and the median length of equipment failure was 14 days.
