Objective To investigate the effect of macrophage polarization on tubulointerstitial fibrosis of mouse unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO) model.Methods Twelve male C57BL/6J mice were employed,each of which with an age of 8 to 10 weeks.UUO model was established with these mice with the method of unilateral ureteral ligation.Mice were then sacrificed on the 7th and 14th day respectively after operation,and renal tissue specimens were obtained.The authors detected collagen deposition by Masson staining,and alpha smooth muscle actin (alpha SMA) as well as collagen type Ⅰ (Coll-1) mRNA by real-time quantitative PCR.The authors also detected the degree of renal interstitial macrophages infiltration and expression changes of polarization by immunofluorescence staining.Results Compared with the mice that were observed on the 7th day after operation,the degree of renal interstitial fibrosis in mice observed on the 14th day after operation was comparatively serious,the difference shown by semi-quantitative results was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Moreover,mice observed on the 14th day after operation have more M2 macrophages,the difference between two groups of mice was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).On the contrary,there was no statistically significant difference in the degree of M1 macrophages infiltration between these two groups of mice.Conclusions In the renal interstitial fibrosis model induced by UUO,the degree of macrophage infiltration increased significantly,mainly resulted from M2 macrophage infiltration,suggesting that M2 macrophages were involved in the formation of renal fibrosis.

Objective To explore the value of transthoracic echocardiography in diagnosis of univentricle and analyze the sonogram typing. Methods The results of 66 patients with univentricle were reviewed retrospectively,and analayzed their typing connected with the reports in the literature. Results There were 3 ultrasonic types in 66 cases:①Type A(single left ventricle) 19 cases,single ventricle with left ventricular shape,residual cavity in front of it. ②Type B(single right ventricle) 38 cases, single ventricle with right ventricular form,and residual cavity in the rear.③Type C (solitary single-ventricle) 9 cases,there was only one ventricle. Thirty-one of them were treated surgically, 5 cases without operation had MRI or cardiac catheterization examination and the remaining 26 patients were only observed by echocardiography,the positive rate of diagnosis in type was 100%, the results were compared with cardiac catheterization or MRI examination and the operation: 1 cases of mixed type total anomalous pulmonary venous connection was misdiagnosed as heart-type total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. But 1 case of descending aorta limitations narrow complicated patent ductus arteriosus(PDA), PDA was missed. The rest were completely correct diagnosis. Conclusions The transthoracic echocardiography can be used to evaluate types and all containing malformations of univentricle,and offers reliable information for operation.

AIM:To investigate the expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in nephritic epithelium of primates. METHODS:The expression of ACE2 in Vero E6 cells was detected by the techniques of RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry (ICC) techniques. The distribution of ACE2 protein in kidney tissues of two Rhesus monkeys and two normal human cases was observed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) techniques. RESULTS:Vero E6 cells were found to express both ACE2 mRNA and protein. ACE2 protein was mainly located in epithelium of proximal tubules of Rhesus monkey and human kidney. CONCLUSION:The expression of ACE2 in epithelium of primate kidney may provide the condition for SARS-CoV entry,which may be one of the reasons for inducing renal damage in SARS patients.

Bombyx mori bidensovirus (BmBDV) has been identified as causing chronic densonucleosis in Bombyx mori specifically. The replication mechanism of BmBDV remains unknown. Its genome comprises two single stands DNA (VD1 and VD2). In order to rescue infectious virions in vitro, we obtained the total viral DNA extracted from the BmBDV-infected larvae midguts, subsequently cloned the full-length sequence of BmBDV genome fragments by PCR and constructed recombinant plasmids pMD18T-VD1 and pUC-VD2. The linear genome fragments were obtained by digesting recombinant plasmids with corresponding restriction enzymes, and then collectively transfected BmN cells by the method of liposome-embedding. We determined the replication of the virus gene by PCR with the template of demethylated total DNA extracted from the post-transfect BmN cells. Meanwhile, we collected the total proteins from the post-transfect BmN cells and the larvae midgut of feeding the post-transfect BmN cells to perform Western blotting analysis, and detected the expression of viral genes. Here we firstly confirm that infectious virions can be rescued in BmN cells by linear co-transfect method.
