BACKGROUND:Diabetic cystopathy is one of the most common chronic diabetic complications. The establishment of animal models of diabetic cystopathy wil provide experimental animal platform for relevant research.
OBJECTIVE:To establish a guinea pig model of diabetic cystopathy and to evaluate its urodynamic characteristics.
METHODS:Fifty short-hair Britain female guinea pigs were randomly divided into two groups, 42 as the experiment group and the other 8 as the control group. The experiment group was intraperitoneal y injected with streptozotocin to induce diabetes. The control group received injection of blank citric acid buffered solution. Diabetic guinea pigs were detected by urinary dynamics test at 9 and 12 weeks. Diabetic guinea pigs were further assigned into diabetic cystopathy subgroup and compensated subgroup. The urodynamic parameters of three groups were compared.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Twenty of 42 guinea pigs were successful y induced diabetes by the injection of streptozotocin. At 9 weeks after the injection, bladder function compensation was present in six diabetic guinea pigs while bladder function was decompensated in another three diabetic guinea pigs. At 12 weeks, bladder function compensation was present in one diabetic guinea pig, while another eight guinea pigs were confirmed with diabetic cystopathy (88.89%). In the diabetic cystopathy subgroup, the residual urine volume was increased (0.72±0.08) mL, maximal detrusor pressure was decreased (0.63±0.05) kPa, maximum bladder capacity was increased (2.01±0.05) mL, and bladder compliance was increased (0.34±0.04) mL/kPa. There were significant differences compared with the compensated subgroup and the control group (P<0.001). Diabetic cystopathy occurs at 12 weeks after diabetic models are successful y established in guinea pigs, and urodynamic changes are mainly the increase of residual urine volume.

Objective: To observe the effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on proliferation, cell cycle and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Methods: HUVECs were culturedin vitro at the concentration of (1×105/ml) and the cells were divided into 2 sets of groups:CSWT group, the cells were treated by different energy of (0.03, 0.09, 0.18, 0.24) mJ/mm2 respectively and corresponding Control group, in which the cells had no CSWT. HUVEC proliferation was detected by CCK colorimetric method, cell cycle was measured by lfow cytometry, mRNA and protein expressions of ICAM-1 were examined by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis respectively. Results: Compared with Control group, (0.09 mJ/mm2) CSWT group had promoted HUVECs proliferation,P<0.05 and the other CSWT groups were similar to corresponding Control groups,P>0.05; (0.09 mJ/mm2) CSWT group showed decreased proportion of G0/G1 stage and increased S and G2/M stages, allP<0.05; while (0.03 mJ/mm2) CSWT group only increased the proportion of G2/M stage,P<0.05 and the other CSWT groups were similar to corresponding Control group,P>0.05. Compared with Control group, (0.09 mJ/mm2 ) and (0.03mJ/mm2) CSWT groups showed increased mRNA expression of ICAM-1 (9.27±0.95) vs (1.02±0.27),P<0.001 and (7.08±0.60) vs (1.02±0.27),P<0.01; (0.09 mJ /mm2) CSWT group had elevated protein expression of ICAM-1,P<0.05. Conclusion: ESWT especially at (0.09 mJ/mm2) may accelerate cell cycle transition from G0/G1 stage to S and G2/M stages, promote HUVECs proliferation and increase ICAM-1 expression which may play important roles in ESWT facilitated angiogenesis in vitro.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that extracorporeal shock wave therapy is an effective, safe, and non-invasive treatment for ischemic heart disease, which can improve angiogenesis in the ischemic myocardium. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research advances in promotion of angiogenesis for ischemic myocardium by extracorporeal shock wave therapy. METHODS:A computer-based online search of PubMed database and CNKI database was performed for relevant articles published between 1998 and 2014 with key words of “shock wave, ischemic heart disease, angiogenesis, cytokine, stem cel” in English and Chinese, respectively. Articles related to the promotion of angiogenesis for ischemic cardiovascular disease by extracorporeal shock wave were selected. Repetitive articles were excluded. According to inclusion criteria, 51 literatures were selected in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy can improve angiogenesis in the ischemic myocardium by mobilizing proliferation and differentiation of stem cels into vascular endothelial cels, and by enhancing the expression of growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor. Moreover, the extracorporeal shock wave therapy can create a local favorable microenvironment for angiogenesis by inhibiting inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis and by regulating components of the extracelular matrix. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy plays an important role in the angiogenesis of ischemic myocardium and displays a good clinical prospect in the treatment of ischemic heart disease. However, the specific mechanism requires further studies.

Objective To explore the effect of quality control circle (QCC) on reducing the incidence of complications in the patients with peritoneal dialysis (PD). Methods Eighty-nine patients who underwent peritoneal dialysis after discharge were divided into QCC group (45 cases) and control group (44 cases) according to random sampling method. Both groups were followed up regularly, QCC activity was applied in patients of the QCC group on the basis of the QCC activity procedure. The intervention time was 1 year. The blood pressure, standard rate of urea clearance index, peritonitis incidence, catheter drift rate, infection incidences of external orifice of catheter, admission rate of complications and peritoneal dialysis withdrawal incidence between 2 groups were compared. Results After interference, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure in QCC group were significantly lower than those in control group:(124.11 ± 13.07) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. (132.68 ± 12.09) mmHg and (72.13 ± 10.51) mmHg vs. (78.91 ± 11.79) mmHg, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The standard rate of urea clearance index in QCC group was significantly higher than that in control group:95.56%(43/45) vs. 81.82%(36/44), and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). After interference, the peritonitis incidence and admission rate of complications in QCC group was significantly lower than those in control group: 2.22% (1/45) vs. 13.64% (6/44) and 0 vs. 9.09% (4/44), and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in catheter drift rate, infection incidences of external orifice of catheter and peritoneal dialysis withdrawal incidence between 2 group (P>0.05). The Spearman correlation analysis result showed that peritonitis was negatively correlated with education level (r = -0.28, P < 0.05), and standard rate of urea clearance index was positively correlated with education level (r = 0.21, P < 0.05). Conclusions The QCC management model can reduce the incidence of complications in patients with peritoneal dialysis.

Background:miR-181b is related to the progression of many tumors,however,its expression in colitis-associated colon cancer is not clear. Aims:To investigate miR-181b expression and its potential target genes in the process of colitis-associated colon carcinogenesis. Methods: Colitis-associated colon cancer model was established by combined administration of azoxymethane(AOM)and dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)in mice. The expression of miR-181b in colon tissue at different time points was measured by real time fluorescent quantitative PCR(qPCR). Target genes of miR-181b were screened preliminarily by genome microarray combined with miRNA target gene prediction softwares TargetScan, PicTar and miRDB. Expressions of target genes in colitis-associated colon cancer mice were detected by qPCR. Results:The expression of miR-181b was gradually elevated during the development of colitis-associated colon cancer. However, AOM or DSS alone did not change expression of miR-181b. Genome microarray combined with miRNA target gene prediction softwares showed that Ipmk,E2f5,Klf6,Prkcd,Bai3,Hic2 might be the target genes of miR-181b. qPCR showed that expressions of Ipmk,Prkcd,Bai3,Hic2 were significantly decreased in colitis-associated colon cancer than in control group. Conclusions:Expression of miR-181b in colon is upregulated with the development of colitis-associated colon cancer,but is irrelevant with simple chronic inflammation.

Objective To observe expression of membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MT1-MMP) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and its relation to clinicopathological characteristics in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell epithelioma (BCE). Methods The expression of MT1-MMP and MMP-2 was determined in situ hybridization and ABC immunohistochemical technique respectively in 48 cutaneous SCCs and 41 BCEs. Results The expression of MT1-MMP and MMP-2 in SCC was significantly higher than that in BCE (P 0.05). Conclusions Overexpression of MT1-MMP and MMP-2 might be related to lymphatic metastasis in SCC. Expression levels of MT1-MMP and MMP-2 may not be responsible for the differentiation in aggressiveness of BCE.
