1.Calpains and liver injury
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1986;0(06):-
Calpains are calcium-modulated proteases which respond to Ca2+ signals by removing limited portions of protein substrates,thereby irreversibly modifying their functions.Members of calpains are present in a variety of organisms in human.Calpains mediates crucial cellular functions,including rearrangement of cytoskeletal proteins and protein cleavage to activate various receptors and pro-enzymes.The abnormal activation of calpains is one of the important mechanisms in several pathogenesis,including neurodegenerative diseases,traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries,cataracts and ischemia-associated injuries.The recent findings on the role of calpains and its inhibitors in the liver injury will be reviewed in this paper.

Objective To research the imaging classification and dynamic changing of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC). Methods The imaging types of BAC proved by operation and pathology in 32 cases were divided into single nodules, single segment or lobe consolidation, multiple segments or lobar consolidation and multiple diffuse nodules according to the features of plain chest films and CT at first examination. The spreading lesions in lung were recorded.The developing course and changes in size of lesions on the followed-up plain films and CT were observed, then the developing rules of different types of BAC were analyzed. Results The single noduli were enlarged and became poor defined opague shadows gradually. The single segment or lobar consolidation enlarged until the whole lobe. All single lesions progressed and coexisted with diffused nodular or opaque pulmonary involvement eventually. Multiple segments or lobar consolidation developed from peripheral to center of the segment or lobar, diffused pneumonia-like shadows appeared simultaneous. Multiple extensive nodules showed a trend of getting larger and then fused.Conclusion Different types of BAC have theirown developing rule,but they finally form a consequence that the primary lesion coexisted with the spread ones from different way.

Objective:
To investigate the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections among five high-risk populations in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, so as to provide insights into improvements in the control strategy for hepatitis C.
Methods:
The detection of anti-HCV antibody was collected from patients receiving renal dialysis, patients receiving invasive diagnosis and treatment in hospitals, physical examination populations, unpaid blood donors and subjects admitted to family planning clinics in national hepatitis C surveillance sentinels in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from 2013 to 2021, and the year-, gender- and age-specific prevalence of anti-HCV antibody was analyzed.
Results:
The mean prevalence of anti-HCV antibody was 2.19%, 1.81%, 0.05%, 0.10% and 0.03% among 3 600 patients receiving renal dialysis, 3 600 patients receiving invasive diagnosis and treatment in hospitals, 18 000 physical examination populations, 18 000 volunteer blood donors and 3 600 subjects admitted to family planning clinics, respectively. The prevalence of anti-HCV antibody appeared a tendency towards a decline among patients receiving renal dialysis (χ2trend=49.065, P<0.001) and volunteer blood donors (χ2trend=11.419, P=0.001). The prevalence of anti-HCV antibody was higher among male patients receiving invasive diagnosis and treatment in hospitals than among females (2.34% vs. 1.36%; χ2=4.826, P=0.028), and no gender-specific prevalence of anti-HCV antibody was seen among other four high-risk populations (all P>0.05). The highest prevalence of anti-HCV antibody was detected among patients receiving renal dialysis (3.30%) and patients receiving invasive diagnosis and treatment in hospitals at ages of 50 to 59 years (3.35%), while the highest prevalence was found among physical examination populations at ages of 60 years and greater (0.18%).
Conclusion
The prevalence of anti-HCV antibody was high among patients receiving renal dialysis and patients receiving invasive diagnosis and treatment in hospitals and low among physical examination populations, volunteer blood donors and subjects admitted to family planning clinics in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from 2013 to 2021. Periodical monitoring of anti-HCV antibody is recommended among the elderly.
