Journal of Chinese Physician 2021;23(2):223-226
Objective:This study aimed to investigate the role of mitochondrial fusion protein 2 (Mfn2) in chronic renal injury caused by cyclosporine A (CSA) and the possible mechanism.Methods:The model of chronic CSA nephropathy was established in rats. The rats were divided into solvent control group, CSA model group and normal control group. Serum creatinine and urinary protein levels were detected. The tubulointerstitial injury was observed by light microscopy. The changes of mitochondrial structure were observed by electron microscope, and the expression of Mfn2 was detected by Western blot.Results:The levels of serum creatinine and urinary protein in CSA model group at 2 and 4 weeks were significantly higher than those in control group and solvent group ( P<0.05). In CSA model group, tubulointerstitial injury was obvious, mitochondria swelling and deformation were found in tubular epithelial cells, and ridge disappeared. Compared with normal control group and solvent control group, the expression of Mfn2 in CSA model group was significantly decreased at 2 and 4 weeks ( P<0.05), and the expression of Mfn2 in CSA model group at 4 weeks was further decreased compared with 2 weeks ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Mfn2 may play an important role in the injury of tubular epithelial cells caused by cyclosporine.

Objective To know the distribution of arsenic and trace elements in drinking water in the endemic arsenism areas in Shanyin County, Shanxi Province. Methods Drinking water samples were collected from the chronic endemic arsenic poisoning areas of Silizhuang and Shanghexi, Shanyin County, Shanxi Province and HPLC-HG-AFS system was used to analyze the arsenic contents, valence and speciation. The trace elements were determined by ICP-MS. The data were analyzed by SPSS13.0 for windows. Results A total of 63 drinking water samples were determined, 39.68% of them exceeded the standard limit of arsenic level, inorganic arsenic was the main arsenical in drinking water, iAs3+/(iAs3++iAs5+) ratio was 56.17% in the water sample (arsenic was higher than 50 ?g/L) . The contents of Fe, Mn, Hg, Se and Pb in part of drinking water samples exceed the standard limits. No significant difference was seen between the arsenic results determined by HPLC-HG-AFS and ICP-MS. Conclusion Arsenic contamination of drinking water in Shanyin County, Shanxi Province is severe. The most frequently seen arsenic valence state in drinking water is iAs3+. Some trace elements in part of drinking water samples exceed the standard limits, this may aggravate arsenic poisoning.

Objective To evaluate clinical effects of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine therapy for epilepsy after stroke. Methods Literatures about the treatment of epilepsy after stroke with the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine which come from the database such as CNKI, VIP, WanFang and Pubmed, were studied and all the randomized controlled trials on comparing therapeutic effects of treating epilepsy between combined treatment of TCM and western medicine and western medicine were enrolled. The Cochrane Collaboration's software RevMan 5 was used for meta-analysis. Results 7 articles were included in the study, there is homogeneity among these articles(P>0.05), The fixed effect model was used for the meta analysis. the combined results were OR=5.17, 95%CI(3.02, 8.82), the overall effect of test Z=6.01, P<0.01, the difference between the treatment group and the control groups was significant, that means the overall effect of the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine treatment was better than western medicine treatment; Funnel plot graphic displayed asymmetrically, which indicated the literatures publication bias. Conclusion The current data indicate that the curative effect of TCM and west medicine combined treatment is better than pure western medicine therapy for epilepsy after stroke, but as the literature publication bias, clinical studies need more high quality large samples to prove this conclusion.
