Objective To investigate the expression of β-arrestin2 and microtubule-associated pro-tein light chain(LC)3 in renal of rat with acute renal ischemia reperfusion injury,and to analyze the relation-ship between them and renal injury. Methods Fifty-four male SD rat(3-4 weeks old) were randomly divid-ed into three groups:control group,sham group,acute ischemic reperfusion injury group. We established the acute renal ischemia reperfusion injury model through removing the right kidney and clamping the left renal for 45 minutes with noninvasive arterial clip. We obtained the kidney and blood samples respectively at 12 h, 24 h,36 h,48 h,72 h,96 h after the surgery. Expressions ofβ-arrestin2 and LC3 protein were detected by the immunohistochemistry method and Western blot method. The renal function and morphological changes were assessed. Results Compared with control group and sham group,the serum creatinine and kidney pathologi-cal grading of acute ischemia reperfusion injury group obviously rised. The kidney injury was the most serious at the 24 h after acute ischemic reperfusion injury. The expressions of β-arrestin2 and LC3 were little in the control group and sham group. However,the expressions of these two indicators were obviously higher and reached the peak at the 12 h after acute ischemia reperfusion injury. All these results suggested that the chan-ges of these two indicators were anterior to the histopathological changes. The expressions ofβ-arrestin 2 and LC3 protein were in positive correlation with the kidney injury(r=0. 821,P<0. 05;r=0. 913,P<0. 05). Conclusion In the acute renal ischemia-reperfusion injury,β-arrestin2 may be as a kind of upstream regula-tory protein involving in the kidney pathological process through the regulation of the autophagy.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of deep acupuncture at Lianquan (CV23) combined with swallowing rehabilitation training in the treatment of dysphagia after stroke.Methods A total of 84 patients with dysphagia after stroke who met the inclusion criteria were divided into 2 groups, 42 in each. The control group received swallowing rehabilitation training, and the observation group was treated with acupuncture therapy based on deep acupuncture atLianquan (CV23) combined with swallowing rehabilitation training. The VFSS score and clinical efficacy were compared between the 2 groups before and after treatment.Results The cure rate of observation group was 69.1% (29/42), the total effective rate 85.7% (36/42), while the control group were 42.86% (18/42) and 66.67% (28/42). The comparison of cure rate and total efficiency rate between the two group had statistically significant differences (χ2=5.845, 4.200,P=0.016, 0.040). After treatment, the VFSS score of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (7.43 ± 2.27vs.4.31 ± 1.53;t=5.433, P<0.05). The recovery time of the 29 cured patients in the observation group was (12.0 ± 3.0) d, while the recovery time of the 18 cured patients in the control group was (17.8 ± 2.2) d. There was statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (t=7.094,P=0.001).Conclusions Deep acupuncture at Lianquan (CV23) combined with swallowing rehabilitation training can improve the swallowing function of patients with dysphagia after stroke, shorten the recovery time of swallowing function and improve the clinical efficacy.

Objective To examine the clinical features and long - term outcome of pediatric IgA nephropathy and to explore the clinical effect of Mycophenolate Mofetil(MMF)and Cyclophosphomide(CTX)in children with IgA nephropathy with nephrotic syndrome(NS). Methods A single - centre,retrospective,observational study of 115 chil-dren with IgA nephropathy from 2004 to 2013 in Pediatric Nephrology of Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University was conducted. Demographic and clinical data were reviewed retrospectively for age,sex,medical history,presenting symptoms,medications,follow - up duration and the responsiveness to treatment. Results In all children,NS occurred in 20(17. 4% ). There were 35 patients(30. 4% )with non - NS and 60 patients(52. 2% )with isolated hematuria. No special treatment in patients with IgA nephropathy with isolated hematuria. Among patients with proteinuria less than 20 mg/(kg·d),12 patients were treated with angiotensin - converting - enzyme - inhibitor(ACEI),8 patients were trea-ted with ACEI and corticosteroid. At all time points,mean proteinuria was significantly decreased in ACEI and cortico-steroid group compared with ACEI group(P ﹤ 0. 001). Patients with 20 - 49 mg/(kg·d)proteinuria were treated with ACEI and corticosteroid. At all time points,mean proteinuria was significantly decreased compared with the prior time point. Patients with NS were treated with MMF and corticosteroid or CTX and corticosteroid. Eleven patients were trea-ted with MMF,9 patients were treated with CTX. A significantly difference was seen after 3 months in proteinuria greater decrease from pretreatment in CTX group than those in MMF group(P ﹤ 0. 001). No significant difference in proteinuria was observed at other time point. No significant change in white blood cell count was observed in MMF group and CTX group. No serious complication developed in any patient during treatment. During the median follow - up of 35. 2 months (range 4. 0 - 124. 6 months),no patient progressed to end stage renal disease. Conclusions IgA nephropathy patients with isolated hematuria should be long - term followed up. Children with non - nephrotic - range proteinuria should be treated with ACEI or corticosteroid. Patients with NS should be treated with corticosteroid and MMF or CTX. The long -term prognosis within 3 - 5 years should be good if proteinuria within normal range in pediatric IgA nephropathy pa-tients.
