1.Role of chronic inflammation in obesity-related glomerulopathy
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2016;31(5):395-397
In recently years,the incidence rate of obesity - related glomerulopathy(ORG)is increasing. Adi-pose tissue as a new endocrine organ releases inflammatory factors which can lead to glomerular artery endothelial damage,mesangial expansion and extracellular matrix accumulation and podocyte lesion,etc. Studies have confirmed that the chronic inflammation may play a key role in the pathogenesis of ORG. Now,the molecular mechanisms of chro-nic inflammation and its effect in the development of ORG were summarized.

Objective To explore the changes of frequency, BAFF expression and sensitivity to apoptosis of CD19 + CD5 + B cells in endometriosis patients and investigate the relationship between CD19 +CD5 + B cells and endometriosis. Methods Flow cytometry and quantitative PCR were used to assess the frequency, BAFF expression and sensitivity to apoptosis of CD19+ CD5 + B cells in the peripheral blood,peritoneal fluids and endometrium biopsies of 39 patients with endometriosis and 31 patients with myoma of uterus ( control subjects). Results: All 39 endometriosis patients had higher frequencies ( all P < 0. 01 ) of CD19 + CD5 + B cells in the peripheral blood, peritoneal fluids and endometrium biopsies than that in 31 control subjects. CD19 + CD5 + B cells from endometriosis patients expressed higher BAFF, and were more resistant to CD95L-induced apoptosis than the cells from control subjects ( P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion CD19 + CD5 + B cells might play an important role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis through higher BAFF expression and more resistance to CD95L-induced apoptosis.

APOBEC3 is a class of cytidine deaminase, which is considered as a new member of the innate immune system, and APOBEC3G belongs to this family. The research about APOBEC3G is a new direction of innate immune defense mechanism against virus. APOBEC3G has the restrictive activity on many viral replications, which deaminates dC to dU in the viral genome and then induces extensive hypermutation. APOBEC3G can also interrupt viral replication at several phases such as reverse transcription, replication, nucleocapsid and so on by non-deamination mechanisms. However, virus can encode viral proteins to counteract the restriction activity of APOBEC3G. Elucidation of the antagonistic interaction between APOBEC3G and the virus will be contributed to development of new antiviral drugs in the future.

OBJECTIVE:To introduce the research progress of biliary tract prosthesis,to analyze the reason of complication following stent implantation,and to explore the biocompatibility of various biliary tracts and host. METHODS:We retrieved Medline database (1989/2009) and CNKI (1989/2009) using the computer. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria,the literatures were screened by the first author,and the data were collected,and the quality was evaluated. We described and arranged the treatment progress of biliary tract prosthesis implantation,complication of stent implantation and biocompatibility of biliary tract prosthesis to investigate treatment state,complication and biocompatibility of the biliary tract prosthesis. RESULTS:The literatures were summarized. The bilitary tract prosthesis contains plastic stent,mental stent,silica gel tract stent and degradable polylactic acid stent. The complications of stent implantation included transudation,hemorrhage,perforation and stenosis. Among various stents,the biocompatibility of plastic stent was poor,easy to be blocked,but the price was low,and easy to be taken out. The diameter of mental stent following distension could reach 7-10 mm,with long unobstructed time,but the price was higher compared with the plastic stent. The biocompatibility of silica gel tract stent was good. The silica gel tract had strong decay resistance and pliable texture,which could extend tumor excision range and elevate curative effects. Moreover,complications did not occur such as infection and stenosis of the biliary tract. Biocompatibility of nickel-titanium alloy biliary ducts was significantly better than the stent products,without complications. With the exception of price factor,the biocompatibility of degradable polylactic acid stent was the best,but further studies were needed to observe and study the formation of biliary sludge,stent displacement and blockage,stent degradation products. CONCLUSION:Biliary tract prosthesis implantation can be an important treatment method for stenosis of biliary tract. During treatment,enough preparation is needed prior to implantation according to various clinical symptoms to select suitable stent type. Indications are followed strictly to avoid the occurrence of complications. The biocompatibility of silica gel stent and Ni-Ti alloy stent is good,but the biocompatibility of other stents should be enhanced.
