Objective To explore the clinical features of renal and urinary lesions in IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD).Methods Clinical manifestation,laboratory profiles,iconography images,pathologic findings,treatment and prognosis of 6 IgG4-RD patients with renal and urinary system involvement from Peking Union Medical College Hospital during Aug 2010 to Dec 2011 were analyzed retrospectively.Results Six patients had renal and/or urinary lesions among IgG4-RD cases diagnosed in our hospital,including 4 males and 2 women,with median age of 59 years (36 to 72 years) and median disease course of 10.5 months.All the patients presented multiple organ involvement simultaneously.Urinary system lesion varied,including renal dysfunction,abdominal pain and edema.Hyperglobulinemia,elevated serum IgG (median 23.3 g/L) and IgG4 (median 4227.0 mg/L),tubular proteinuria were found in all the 6 patients,and elevated Scr (median 237 μmol/L) in 5 cases.Kidney CT image often showed renal swelling,hydronephrosis,multiple low density focus with attenuation and kidney atrophy.Renal pathology revealed interstitial inflammatory cells infiltration comprising predominantly plasma cells and lymphocytes,with a high prevalence of IgG4-positive cells often admixed with fibrosis,which fit the features of tubulointerstitial nephritis.Patients with IgG4-RD nephropathy presented good response to glucocorticoids.After therapy,the symptoms were improved and serum IgG,IgG4 and Scr decreased.Conclusions Renal and urinary lesions of IgG4-RD are heterogeneous in clinical manifestation,and are often complicated with various organ lesions.The feature of renal histopathology is tubulointerstitial nephritis infiltrated by plasma cells and lymphocytes with positive IgG4.Glucocorticoids treatment is effective for this disease.

Objective To study the changes of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β),connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and collagen 1 (COL1) in newborn rat's lung tissue and the expressions of 4EBP1 (eukaryotic promoter) and P7OS6K (mammalian target of rapamyein pathway downstream target protein) after rapamycin and hyperoxia intervention,and to study the influence of mammalian target of rapamyein (mTOR) pathway on hyperoxic lung injury and the possible intervention methods.Method A total of 48 21-day-old neonatal rats were assigned into 8 groups (n =6),including air control group,3 d group (3 days after hyperoxic exposure),7 d group (7 days after hyperoxic exposure),14 d group (14 days after hyperoxic exposure),air + RAPA group (air + rapamycin),3 d + RAPA group (3 days after hyperoxic exposure + rapamycin),7 d + RAPA group (7 days after hyperoxic exposure + rapamycin) and 14 d + RAPA group (14 days after hyperoxic exposure + rapamycin).In the hyperoxic group,newborn rats were exposed to 90％ oxygen for 3,7,14 days respectively.The rats in the hyperoxia + rapamycin intervention groups received intraperitoneal injection of rapamycin and inhaled high concentrations of oxygen for 3,7,14 days respectively.Air ± rapamycin group received intraperitoneal injection of rapamycin for 3 days.To study the pathological changes of lung tissures after hyperoxia and rapamycin intervention,we used ELISA to detect the changes of TGF-β,CTGF and COL1 and Western blot to detect the variations of mTORC1,P70S6K and 4EBP1 expression.Result TGF-β,CTGF,COL1 levels at 3 days,7 days and 14 days after hyperoxic exposure (TGF-[β:33.7±2.8 vs.58.6 ±3.1 vs.98.8 ±1.5 ng/mg,CTGF:50.1 ±1.8 vs.68.7 ± 2.2 vs.94.4 ±2.5 ng/mg,COL1:471.9 ±5.7 vs.529.7 ±7.0 vs.556.4 ±8.5 ng/mg) were significantly higher than the air control group (TGF-β:25.5 ± 1.9 ng/mg,CTGF:41.7 ± 1.4 ng/mg,COL1:414.4 ± 8.9 ng/mg) (P ＜ 0.01).While the levels in rapamycin intervention group were significantly lower than all the hyperoxia + rapamycin intervention groups (P ＜ 0.01).The lung tissue pathological grades in 3 d + RAPA group and 7 d + RAPAgroup were significantly lower than those in the 3 d group and 7 d group (3.5 ± 0.8 vs.6.3 ± 2.3 and 9.7 ± 2.0 vs.14.0 ± 2.4) (P ＜ 0.01).The mTORC1,P70S6K,4EBP1 expressions in 3 d + RAPA group were lower than 3 d group (mTORC1:0.26 ± 0.04 vs.0.29±0.08,P70S6K:0.29±0.01 vs.0.31 ±0.08,4EBP1:0.31 ±0.06 vs.0.33 ±0.06) (P＜0.05),while the expressions in 7 d + RAPA and 14 d + RAPA groups were significantly lower than 3 d + RAPAgroup (P ＜0.01).Conclusion mTOR signal pathway may be involved in the repairing process of hyperoxic-induced lung fibrosis.Rapamycin can reduce the levels of TGF-β,CTGF and COL1 and inhibit the expressions of mTOR pathway downstream target protein P70S6K and 4EBP1,thus reduce lung injury atearly stage.

Based on the AuNPs/Nafion composite membrane technology and immobilization of amino adenosine aptamer using carboxyl carbon nanotubes on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode, a electrochemiluminescence sensor was preparated.The sensor was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical luminescence.The result showed that the sensor had a good stability and reproducibility.Adenosine and adenosine aptamer could form G-tetrahedral structure, leading a decrease of ECL intensity.Under the optimum experimental conditions, the relative ECL intensity showed a good linear relationship to the negative logarithm of adenosine concentration in the range of 1.0×10-11-1.0×10-7 mol/L, the linear equations was ΔIECL=-890lgC-5050 with a detection limit of 5.0×10-12 mol/L.The RSD was 2.7% in 11 times measurement of adenosine (1.0×10-10 mol/L).The recovery was 97.1%-110.0% in the determination of real adenosine sample.

Objective: To observe the effect of oxymatrine ointment on chronic eczema in mice, and preliminarily explore the mechanism. Methods:Thirty-two Kunming mice were randomly divided into four groups including oxymatrine ointment group, blank model group, blank ointment group and positive drug group treated with compound dexamethasone acetate cream. Eczema skin was con-tinuously treated with drugs for 14 days. The mice were sacrificed on the 15th day, and the eczema skin was clipped from back to make histological sections. The changes of inflammation were observed, and the inflammatory cell count was obtained. Meanwhile, heart blood was collected, and serum was obtained by centrifugation. The serum levels of IL-4 and IL-1β were determined by ELISA. Re-sults:The inflammatory cell count in oxymatrine ointment group and the positive drug group was lower than that in the blank model group and the blank ointment group (P<0. 05). The pathology results showed that oxymatrine ointment could improve chronic eczema symptoms, reduce the inflammatory cell infiltration and decrease edema, which was similar to the effects of compound dexamethasone acetate cream. In the respect of molecular immunology, the IL-4 and IL-1βlevels in serum showed no significant changes in oxymatrine ointment group (P>0. 05). Conclusion: Oxymatrine ointment has certain anti-inflammatory effect on eczema, and the mechanism needs to be studied further.

Objective To investigate the signal transduction pathway of arachidonic acid(AA) and prostaglandin E-2(PGE-2) synthesis in macrophage invaded by Toxoplasma gondii. Methods Synthesis of AA and PGE-2, expression of COX_2 mRNA and protein following stimulation infection by Toxoplasma gondii were evaluated in RAW264^7 cells by ELISA, RT_PCR and Western blotting after treatment with calcium channel blocker verapamil, chelator of extracellular calcium EGTA and inhibitor of CaM trifluoperazine (TFP), selective PKC inhibitor H7. Results Production of AA and PGE-2 induced by tachyzoite was significantly inhibited by EGTA, TFP and BAPTA/AM, and the PGE-2 production was inhibited by H7, with a reduced expression of COX_2 mRNA and protein in a dose_dependent manner. Conclusion The parasite down_regulates macrophage functions by affecting PKC signaling pathways, and triggers a biochemical cascade whose signals ultimately conduct to the secretion of immunosuppressive molecules PGE-2.
