Objective To investigate the effect of taurine on iron bioavailability in rats and its possible mechanism. Method SD rats were randomly divided into three groups:normal group (NG),taurine treated group (TG),experimental control group (EG). TG and EG were induced to be anemic experimentally for 4w before the study. Then the rats were fed iron supplements for 25 d,meanwhile TG was treated with taurine following hemoglobin(Hb) repletion bioassay. Regression analysis of TG and AG were measured following Hb repletion bioassay using iron supplements. And the relative biological value of TG following Hb repletion were calculated. The serum iron,unsaturated iron-binding capacity(UIBC),total iron-binding capacity(TIBC),transferin saturation(TS)and the expression of hepcidin were detected. Results The iron bioavailability of TG was higher than EG,and the RBV of TG was 126%. Other hematological variables of TG were close to NG,and better than EG. The expression of hepcidin was increased compared with NG,but decreased compared with EG. Conclusion Taurine can improve iron bioavailability in rats via suppressing hepcidin expression in rats.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum retinol binding protein (RBP), stromal cell derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and renal function in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DKD).Methods:The patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) admitted to Yantai Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical College from October 2017 to October 2020 were prospectively selected, 438 patients were divided into simple T2DM group ( n=276)and DKD group( n=162) according to the presence or absence of DKD, according to the ratio of urinary albinin/creatinine (UACR) were divided into normal( n=25), microalbuminuria ( n=75) and macroalbuminuria group ( n=62), according to the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were divided into G1 stage ( n=28), G2 stage ( n=27), G3A + G3B stage ( n=35), G4 stage ( n=39)and G5 stages( n=33). The relationship between RBP, SDF-1 and renal function index UACR, serum uric acid (UA), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), β 2-microglobulin (β 2-MG) and serum creatinine (Scr) was analyzed. Measurement data of normal distribution were expressed as Mean± standard deviation ( Mean± SD). Independent sample t-test was used for comparison between two groups, and one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups.Chi-square test was used to compare the enumeration data between groups. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to analyze the discriminant value of RBP and SDF-1 for DKD. Pearson was used for correlation analysis among indicators. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of RBP. Results:In the DKD group, the duration of diabetes was longer, the levels of RBP, UACR, UA, BUN, β 2-MG, Scr were high, SDF-1 and eGFR were lower, with statistically significant differences compared with the simple T2DM group( P<0.05).The areas under the curve of RBP and SDF-1 to distinguish DKD were 0.903 and 0.868, and the optimal cut-off values was 70.71 mg/L and 5.69 ng/mL. With the increase of urinary albumin and clinical stage, the levels of RBP, UACR, UA, BUN, β 2-MG, Scr increased gradually, while SDF-1 and eGFR decreased gradually, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05).RBP was positively correlated with UACR, UA, BUN, β 2-MG and Scr in DKD patients ( r=0.764, 0.787, 0.693, 0.577, 0.801, P<0.000 1), and negatively correlated with EGFR ( r=-0.782, P<0.000 1). SDF-1 was negatively correlated with UACR, UA, BUN, β 2-MG and Scr ( r=-0.744, -0.794, -0.666, -0.605, -0.820, P<0.000 1), and positively correlated with EGFR ( r=0.767, P<0.000 1). The multiple linear regression equation was RBP=29.852+ 0.007UACR+ 0.101UA+ 0.497BUN+ 0.034Scr-0.083eGFR ( P<0.001). Conclusion:RBP and SDF-1 have certain discriminant value for DKD patients in T2DM population, and the degree of DKD renal function injury is positively correlated with RBP and negatively correlated with SDF-1, the increase of UACR, UA, BUN, Scr and the decrease of eGFR are risk factors for the increase of RBP.

Raw264.7 cells were incubated with receptor activator of NF-kappa B ligand (RANKL) and α-melanocyte stimulating hormone(α-MSH) for6 d.The amount of osteoclast cells were counted by tartrate resistant acid phosphatase staining and the acid phosphatase activity was assayed.The expressions of 5 melanocortin receptors (MCR) in Raw264.7 cells were determined by RT-PCR.The results showed that the number of osteoclasts in RANKL +α-MSH group was significantly increased compared with RANKL group (P < 0.05),but there was no osteoclast formation in α-MSH group.Compared with control group and α-MSH group,the acid phosphatase activities were significantly increased in RANKL group and α-MSH+RANKL group (P<0.05).All five MCRs were expressed in the Raw264.7 cells shown by RT-PCR.These results suggest that α-MSH may promote osteoclasts formation through RANK signaling pathway.
