This review focuses on the current literatures on the therapeutic potential of non-renal derived adult stem cell transplantation for kidney disease.Although the therapeutic mechanism remains debatable,some reports suggest that hematopoietic stem cell transplantation holds potential for treatment of renal diseases such as renal ischemia reperfusion injury,IgA nephropathy and lupus nephritis.Mesenchymal stem cell(MSC) are capable of homing to injured kidney and contribute to activate intrinsic kidney cells,promote angiogenesis,inhibit oxidative stress and reduce apoptosis,inflammation and renal fibrosis.These renoprotective effects are likely mediated by paracrine/autocrine mechanism via cytokine and microvesicles from MSC.Pluripotent stem cells may be induced from fibroblast,mesangial cells,renal tubular epithelial cell and urine epithelial cell.Induced pluripotent stem cell(iPSC) can differentiate into renal lineage cells.The derivation of kidney disease-specific iPSC opens new avenues for the resolution to limited donor availability in kidney transplantation and for treating kidney diseases such as diabetic nephropathy and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

A safe and effective vaccine against the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is expected to have a considerable impact on elimination of acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Despite decades of effort, an effective vaccine against HIV-1 remains elusive. In recent years, the Thai HIV Vaccine Efficacy Trial (known as RV144) showed a reduction in HIV-1 acquisition by 31%, but this agent could not delay disease progression in vaccinated individuals. Clinical analyses of experimental data and experiments in vitro have revealed two main types of immunogen design: induction of broad-spectrum neutralizing antibody (bNAb) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses. bNAb can prevent or reduce acquisition of infection, and its main immunogens are virus-like particles, natural envelope trimers and stable bNAb epitopes. An effective CTL response can slow-down viral infection, and its main immunogens are "mosaic" vaccines, "conserved immunogens", and the "fitness landscape" of HIV-1 proteins. This review summarizes the strategies as well as progress in the design and testing of HIV-1 immunogens to elicit bNAb and CTL responses.

Objective To measure the fractional anisotropy(FA) values in the language function areas(Broca area,Wernicke area and arcuate fasciculus)by diffusion tensor imaging(DTI),discussing the pathological characteristics in cerebral palsy children with language development delay.Methods DTI was performed in twenty-seven cerebral palsy children with language development delay(observation group) and 20 children with febrile seizures(control group) by Philips 3.0T MRI scanner.The FA values of Broca area,Wernicke area and arcuate fasciculus were measured at Philips Workstation.Results The FA values of control group in the left Broca area,Wernicke area and arcuate fasciculusis were higher than those of the right side,and the difference was statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).The FA value of observation group in the left Broca area was lower than that of the right side,and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05);the FA values of observation group in the left Wernick area and arcuate fasciculusis were higher than those of the right side,but the difference was not statistically significance (all P ＞ 0.05).The FA values in the bilateral Broca area and arcuate fasciculusis of observation group were lower than those of the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05),those in the bilateral Wernick area were also lower than the control group,but the difference was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The main pathogenesis for language development delay in cerebral palsy children was extensive damage in language functional areas,and Broca area and arcuate fasciculus were markedly impaired than Wernick area.

Objective To investigate the effect factors and the relationship of diagnostic system efficiency as soft copy reading with medical LCD.MethodsThirty chest images were selected from PACS on-line.Three of high,mid and low-experienced radiologists interpreted the images on different types of displays independently.Design four display levels based on five factors influencing diagnostic system efficiency,including view distance (0.3 m,0.6 m,0.9 m,1.2 m),monitor resolution ( 1 MP,2 MP,3 MP,5 MP),illuminant level (50 Ix,100 Ix,200 lx,400 lx),view angle (0°,15°,30°,45°) and angle of negative effect light (0°,30°,60°,90°).Three indices of misdiagnosis frequency,diagnosis time and frequency of unable to recognize were analyzed.Orthogonal experimental design and software SPSS 13.0 were used to analyze the results.Results The indices were much different for different factors at different levels.According to the index of average misdiagnosis frequency,extreme difference value of view angle was the lowest (1.4) and angle of negative effect light was the highest (5.0).Extreme difference value of view distance,monitor resolution and illuminant level were 2.9,2.8 and 2.5,respectively.ConclusionsThe order of different factors influencing diagnostic system efficiency is as follows: angle of negative effect light,view distance,monitor resolution,illuminant level and view angle.

Objective This study was conducted to explore the effects of fluorosis on rat renal apoptosis and proliferation, oxidative stress and necrosis. Methods Wistar rats were provided with distilled water containing NaF(50mg/L) for six months. Kidney cell apoptosis and the cell cycle of proliferation were detected by TUNEL (TdT-mediated dUTP Nick End Labelling) and flow cytometry. Rsults TUNEL_positive cells could be detected in fluoride_treated rat kidney. The apoptotic rates of fluoride_treated kidney cells were higher than that of control significantly. Fluorosis could reduce the cell number of G2/M period in cell cycle and decrease DNA relative content significantly. In addition, fluorosis could induce rat renal oxidative stress and necrosis. Cnclusion It was suggested that fluorosis could induce apoptosis and change the cell cycle of rat renal cells in vivo, and also could result in rat renal oxidative stress and necrosis.
