1.Advances of the mechanisms of renal tubular cell injury
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(04):-
The nature of renal tubular cell injury in ischemic acute renal failure includes not only cell death (necrosis or apoptosis) but also sublethal injury causing cell dysfunction. The role of intracellu- lar calcium, calcium - dependent enzymes calpain, nitric oxide, phospholipase A2, loss of tubule cell polarity and tubular obstruction in the pathophysiology of the renal tubular cell injury during hypoxia/ischemia is described. The effects of vascular factors, infiltrating activited leukocytes, apoptosis and growth factors on renal tubular cell injury are discussed. Potential mechanisms that tubular injury leads to a profound fall in glomerular filtration rate are proposed.

Objective To investigate the impact of alterations within the space of Disse micro- environment on the migration of hepatic stellate cells(HSC) during the process of liver fibrosis,and to ex plore the novel mechanism of liver fibrosis from the view of cell migration.Methods A modified in vitro Boyden chamber system to partially mimic in vivo microenvironment of Disse space of normal and liver fibrosis was employed.The effects of fibrogenetic growth factors on the migration of HSC in liver fibrosis were observed via cell migration and cell proliferation experiments.Results Enhanced platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF)-BB,transforming growth factor(TGF)-?1 and/or epithelial growth factor(EGF) in liver fibrosis resulted in an increase in migratory capacity of activated HSC.The enhanced migration of HSCs induced by PDGF-BB was partially associated with their increased proliferation,while,TGF-?1 or EGF-induced migration was proliferation independent.The elevation of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) or vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)during liver fibrosis had no effect on the migration of HSCs.Conclusions The study provides valuable insights into the role of space of Disse microenvironment in regulating HSC migratory behavior.TGF-?1,PDGF-BB and EGF,which increased in liver fibrosis, could induce the migration of activated HSC.However,bFGF or VEGF has no such kind of effect,al- though they also increased during liver fibrosis.
5.Mitochondrial transfer mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells for rescue of tissue injury
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(41):6708-6713
BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have beneficial effects on the treatment of various diseases. Mitochondria transfer is newly proposed and its specific mechanisms of action and control factors remain unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To review the studies about stem cells and mitochondrial transfer, then to discuss its value on clinical.
METHODS:The PubMed, VIP and Wanfang databases were searched for related articles concerning stem cells and mitochondrial transfer. Key words were“stem cell, embryonic stem cell, progenitor cell, mitochondria”in Chinese and“Stem cell[s], Mother cell[s], Progenitor cell[s], Colony-Forming Unit[s], Colony Forming Unit[s], Mitochondria[l] transfer”in English. Thirteen articles were found initial y, and using the citation tracking method, final y 42 articles were determined. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Studies have shown that mitochondrial transfer from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells is associated with rescue of aerobic respiration and restoration of mitochondrial function in the injured somatic cells. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and recipient cells form tunneling nanotubes for mitochondrial transfer. Movement of mitochondria between cells is regulated and directed by Miro1. The successful transfer of mitochondria may be accompanied with the clearance of damaged mitochondria. The rescue of mitochondrial function in early stages may provide a valuable therapeutic strategy for various diseases include acute lung injury.

Objective: To explore and discuss the clinical curative effect on intermittent positive pressure breathing therapy of non - invasive ventilator in the treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) of elderly patients with complication of acute respiratory failure. Methods: 112 elderly patients who were COPD (all of patients were acute exacerbation period) with complication of acute respiratory failure were divided into control group (60 cases) and observation group (52 cases) as the random number table. A series of basic therapy including routine anti-inflammatory, relieving asthma and expectorant therapy were implemented for all of patient. And the non-invasive ventilator was used to implement non-invasive mechanical breathing therapy. In this therapy, patients of control group were implemented sustaining positive pressure breathing therapy, while patients of observation group were implement intermittent non-invasive positive pressure breathing therapy (1:1). The curative effect, pH value (at 6,24 and 72h), PaO2 (at 6,24 and 72h), PaCO2 (at 6,24 and 72h) and complications between the two methods were compared. Results: There was no significant difference in the general demographic characteristics between the two groups. For patients at 6, 24 and 72 h, the differences of the pH value, PaO2and PaCO2 between pre and post-treatment were significant in observation group (F=5.669, F=6.985, F=7.628, P<0.05) and control group (F=5.311, F=6.892, F=7.958, P<0.05) , respectively. The differences of the pH value, PaO2 and PaCO2 at 6h, 24h and 72h were significant (at 24h, F=6.776, F=7.098, F=7.673. at 72 h, F=7.883, F=6.983, F=7.335, P<0.05),respectively. For two groups, the differences of pH value, PaO2 and PaCO2 at pre-weaning, post-weaning 6h and post-weaning 12h were not significant. While the mechanical ventilation time and mechanical ventilation rate of observation group were significant lower than that of control group (t=3.591, x2=3.052, P<0.05). Besides, the incidences of complications including flatulence, trachea intubation, respiratory and relative pneumonia of observation group were significant lower than that of control group (x2=4.997, P<0.05). Conclusion: The new method can significantly shorten duration of breathing and duration of hospital stays. And its incidence of complication is lower while safety of treatment is relatively higher than that of traditional method.
