Objective To study skeletal muscle atrophy and the change of autophagy in skeletal muscle of patients with chronic kidney disease.Methods Mean muscle cross sectional area,mRNA and protein expression of autophagy markers Bcl-2-adenovirus E1B interacting protein 3 (LC3B),Bcl-2-adenovirus E1B interacting protein 3 (Bnip3),Beclin-1 were measured in rectus abdominis biopsies obtained from 22 consecutive patients with stage 5 CKD scheduled for peritoneal dialysis from 4 hospitals in Shanghai.Control biopsies were obtained from another 8 healthy subjects during elective surgery for adenomyosis and 6 subjects during elective surgery for abdominal wall hernias.Rectus abdominis muscles were obtained at the beginning of surgery.HE staining was performed and mean cross sectional area (CSA) was calculated.Electron microscopy was used to confirm the changes of autophagy.mRNA levels of LC3B,Beclin-1,Bnip3 were evaluated by RT-PCR and protein levels of those parameters were evaluated by Western blotting.Results Compared with control group,mean CSA of muscle fibers was decreased and the transcript levels of LC3B,Beclin-1,Bnip3 were up-regulated in CKD group.Similarly,protein levels of LC3BⅠ,LC3B Ⅱ,Beclin-1 and Bnip3 were increased in CKD group.Additionally,activation of autophagy was confirmed by the appearance of autophagosomes by electron microscopy.Conclusion Chronic kidney disease may cause skeletal muscle atrophy and lead to activation of autophagy,which may contribute to muscle atrophy.

Objective To identity whether there is muscle atrophy phenomenon in end-stage kidney disease patients and to detect the level of transcription factor Foxo1 and the activity of ubiquitin-proteasome system.Methods Twenty-two patients in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 were selected and their mean muscle cross sectional area was measured.mRNA and protein levels of Foxo1,Atrogin-1,MuRF1 in rectus abdominis biopsies obtained from consecutive patients were detected.Control biopsies were obtained from 8 healthy subjects during elective surgery for abdominal wall hernias and 6 subjects during elective surgery for adenomyosis.Results Compared with the control group,cross sectional area of muscle fibers decreased and the transcription and protein levels of Foxo1,Atrogin-1,MuRF1 were upregulated in CKD group(P＜0.05).Protein level of p-Foxo1 decreased in CKD group(P＜0.05).Conclusion There exist muscle atrophy phenomenon in CKD patients,which may associate with the upregulation of Foxo1 and activation of ubiquitin-proteasome system.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of trans-ulner or trans-radial approach to coronary revaseularization with titanium-nitride-oxide-eoated stent (TITAN2). Methods 31 patients,who were planed to receive coronary revaseularization,were selected into this study. All patients with coronary revascularization were either by trans-ulner or by trans-radial approach. The pass-through rate of stent, early thrombosis in stent and MACE at followup were recorded for TITAN2. Results 46 lesions with stenosis > 75% with coronary angiograpby in 31 patients successfully underwent coronary revaseularization with TITAN2. One stent didn't go through the lesion in RCA. The pass-through rate of stent was 97.8%. Remaining stenesis ,stent unglues,endarterium laceration ,early thrombosis in stent and coronary rupture were not discovered after stent deployment. MACE was 0 at 1-5 month follow-up. Conclusion Confirmed good efficacy in coronary revascularization with TITAN2 is observed.

Objective To observe myocardial tolerance to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats after exposure to X-ray irradiation.Methods Twelve male rats were randomly divided into control group and radiation group.The rat model of radiation-induced heart disease was established in the radiation group by precordial irradiation with 20.0 Gy of 6 MV X-ray in a single fraction.At 14 days after model establishment,the Langendorff perfusion technique was performed in the two groups and the cardiac parameters including left ventricular developing pressure (LVDP),left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP),maximal rate of left ventricular pressure rise/fall (+/-LVdp/dtmax),and coronary flow (CF)were recorded.Myocardial infarct size after I/R was compared between the two groups by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining.Results After 30 minutes of ischemia and 60 minutes of reperfusion,the irradiation group had a significantly slower CF than the control group (5.64±0.35 vs.8.38±0.52 ml/min,P=0.002).Moreover,the irradiation group had substantially poorer recovery of cardiac function in isolated hearts compared with the control group,as shown by a significantly reduced LVDP (25.4±2.31 vs.52.76±2.76 mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa),P=0.000),significantly reduced+/-LVdp/dtmax(547.04±78.74 vs.1 100.05±83.35 mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa)/s,P=0.001;-408.81±56.74 vs-813.62±73.82mm Hg(1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa)/s,P=0.002),and a significantly increased LVEDP (85.29±4.61 vs.65.65±3.65 mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa),P=0.012).X-ray irradiation induced a significantly increased percentage of myocardial infarct size in rats (44.67％±0.95％ vs.30.46％±0.96％,P=0.000).Conclusions X-ray irradiation can induce coronary injury,reduce myocardial tolerance to I/R injury,and increase myocardial infarct size after I/R in rats.

AIM: To better reveal the changing process of macula area after photodynamic therapy (PDT), the changes of tomographic imaging on macular fovea optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) scan at different follow- up time points after treating age-related macular degeneration ( AMD) by PDT were investigated.
METHODS: This cohort study included 30 eyes of 26 patients diagnosed as AMD. The dosage of verteporfin was calculated according to manufacturer's instruction. All participants got FFA, ICG, OCT scan and best corrected visual acuity before and followed up for 2wk, 1, 2, 3mo after PDT. The standard five lines combined with 6 lines OCT scan covered key parts of lesion and the scan locations before and after were kept the same. The bilaminar foveal thickness (BFT), outer high reflectivity band thickness ( OHRBT ) , and the total area of intraretinal fluid ( IRF ) and subretinal fluid ( SRF ) were measured at different time points. The relationship between the changes and follow up time was analyzed. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using SPSS for windows version 13. 0.
RESULTS: There months after treatment, an improvement of 2 lines or better on the Snellen chart was achieved on 22 eyes, visual acuity of 3 eyes without significant change, 3 eyes got decreased, 2 cases lost follow up. The average macular thickness of improved 22 eyes before treatment was 722. 5±55. 6μm, 2wk after treatment, 708. 3±45. 3μm, 1mo, 584. 4±49. 3μm, 2mo, 430. 7±50. 2μm and 180. 6 ±36. 3μm at 3mo. The OHRBT before and after treatment respectively were 302. 3 ±50-2μm, 277. 5±42. 3μm, 202. 7±40. 1μm, 180. 6±35. 7μm, 100. 8±22. 9μm. The total area of both IRF and SRF was estimated as 0. 34±0. 12mm2 , 0. 25±0. 07mm2 , 0. 10±0-05mm2 , 0. 08±0. 04mm2 , 0. 05±0. 01mm2 .
CONCLUSION:SRF and retinal edema of patients with AMD were absorbed 1mo after PDT, and the BFT, OHRBT were significantly tend to be thin.

Objective To establish a reverse transcription nested polymerase chain reaction ( RT-nPCR ) assay for detection of tree shrews orthoreovirus (TRV).Methods Three strains of TRV were respectively isolated from fresh feces of three tree shrews that came from the same field at different times .We designed and synthesized two pairs of MRV L1 gene nested primers and established the system of RT-nPCR.The TRV RNA was extracted and reversely transcribed to cDNA as a template for nested-PCR amplification.The developed RT-nPCR was optimized.The specificity and sensitivity were tested.Finally, the RT-nPCR was used to detect TRV in 25 tree shrew samples.Results Taking the genomic RNA of TRV as template, the RT-nPCR was able to amplify a specific fragment band targeting the L 1 gene, while there were no target bands in the normal cell control , ( Wa strain rotavirus , hepatitis A virus , and herpes simplex virus ) .The RNA of TRV was diluted by 1:10 to 1:109 .Each dilution sample was analyzed by the RT-nPCR.The minimum detectable concentration of RNA was 0.01 pg/μL.The results of RT-nPCR detection showed that 4 of the 15 tree shrews were TRV-positive in the survival group , and 10 of 10 tree shrews were TRV-positive in the death group . Conclusions The RT-nRCR assay established in this study is accurate , specific and sensitive .Therefore, it can be used for routine detection of TRV in quality assurance testing .
