Objective To investigate the macrophages (Mφ) phenotype mechanism in acute kidney injury caused by severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods Sixty-four male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group (SO) and SAP group (n =32 in each group).SAP rat model was made by retrograde cholangiopancreatic injection of 5％ sodium taurocholate.At 2,6,12 and 24 h after modeling,the samples of blood and kidney tissue were collected.The levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) were detected by using automatic biochemical analyzer.The expressions of IL-12,TNF-α,IL-10 and TGF-β mRNA of kidney tissue were detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR).The levels of CD68,iNOS and Arg-1 were measured by Western blot.Results In the SAP group at each interval,BUN and Cr concentrations were significantly higher than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.01,P ＜ 0.05) ; Compared with the control group,the expressions of IL-12,TNF-α,IL-10 and TGF-β mRNA in renal tissue of SAP group were significantly higher (P ＜ 0.01,P ＜ 0.05).In the SAP group,the levels of CD68,iNOS and Arg-1 were higher than those in the control group.Conclusions Inflammation and inflammatory imbalances may be pathological factors of acute kidney injury following SAP.

Objective To investigate the expression of CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and its relationship with the clinical pathological parameters of ccRCC.Methods The expression of CXCR4 was detected by immuno-histochemistry method in 63 cases of ccRCCs,20 cases of para-carcinoma tissues and 20 cases of normal renal tissues.The correlation between expression level of CXCR4 and clinical pathological parameters of ccRCC patients were analyzed,and the clinical significance of its expression in ccRCC was evaluated.Results The positive expression rate of CXCR4(49.2％) in ccRCCs was significantly higher than that in para-carcinoma tissues (15％) and normal renal tissue (10％),and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The expression level of CXCR4 and the clinical stage and pathological grade of ccRCC were correlated (P ＜ 0.05),and was associated with lymph node transfer (P ＜ 0.05).The CXCR4 negative group overall survival rate [55.2％ (16/29)] and the average survival time(46 months) was significantly better than the positive group [38.5％ (10/26),32 months;P ＜ 0.05].Conclusions The expression level of CXCR4 in ccRCC is correlated with the clinicopathological parameters and prognosis.CXCR4 is expected to be an important marker for diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of renal cell carcinoma.

ObjectiveTo analyze the obvious and hidden preoperative and intraoperative blood loss during treatment of the intertrochanter fracture with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) so as to provide necessary data support for clinical perioperative treatment.MethodsThe clinical data of 216 patients with intertrochanteric fractured treated with PFNA between December 2005 and September 2010 were analyzed retrospectively.An analysis was done on preoperative and postoperative blood routine, perioperative and postoperative blood loss and transfusion, perioperative obvious and hidden blood loss and perioperative and postoperative blood transfusion.ResultsThe average blood loss was 48.9ml during operation, with no blood transfusion.Obvious hemochrome decrease (＜9 g/L) was found in 42 patients at 2-4 days after operation and the patients received blood transfusion for mean 300 ml.The mean obvious blood loss was 62.3 ml, while the mean hidden blood loss was 385 ml in all the patients.There was no obvious difference between males and females.ConclusionThe intertrochanter fracture is mostly seen in the elder patients.Compared with the minimal invasive operation, PFNA has more hidden blood loss, as indicates that much attention should be paid to the vital signs of the patients after surgery for prevention of the complications.

Objective To investigate the effect of triggering receptor expression in myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) on intestinal macrophage apoptosis in rat.Methods In vitro,the achieved rat intestinal macrophages were divided into 3 groups:control group,LPS (Lipopolysaccharides) group and LPS + LP17 group (n =6 holes of culture plate in each).The concentrations of LPS and LP17 were 1 mg/L and 0.1 mg/L,respectively.The intestinal macrophage apoptosis was measured by using TUNEL kit and flow cytometry after culture for 6 h.All data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 18.0 software.Results The shape and growth of rat intestinal macrophages were quite favorable after culture.The membrane marker of intestinal macrophages,CD14 was clearly observed under immunofluorescence.After macrophage was treated with specific procedure,the cell apoptosis found in LPS group (44.33 ± 7.74)％ was significantly higher than that in control group (19.17 ± 6.01) ％ (P=0.000) measured by TUNEL;the cell apoptosis in LPS +LP17 group (28.33 ± 6.53)％ apparently reduced compared with LPS group (44.33 ±7.74) ％ (P =0.004);there was no significant difference in cell apoptosis between control group (19.17 ± 6.01) ％ and LPS + LP17 group (28.33 ± 6.53) ％ (P =0.050).By flow cytometry,the apoptotic cells in LPS group (16.47 ± 1.66) ％ was significantly increased compared with control group (7.70 ± 1.52) ％ (P =0.000);apoptotic cells in LPS + LP17 group (11.47 ± 3.12) ％ was significantly reduced in comparison with LPS group (16.47 ± 1.66) ％ (P =0.018).There was no significant difference in apoptotic cells between control group (7.70±1.52)％ and LPS + LP17 group (11.47±3.12) ％ (P =0.061).Conclusion LP17 can inhibit TREM-1 expression in intestinal macrophages and reduce intestinal macrophage apoptosis.

Objective To explore the effects of different body positions at the expiratory phase thinsection multi-slice spiral CT on the diagnosis of pulmonary air trapping after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT).Methods Thirty-one allo-HSCT patients underwent the expiratory phase low-dose MSCT lung scanning at supine and prone positions to detect whether they have air trapping lesion,the volume percent of air trapping region (CT value ≤-700 HU at expiratory phase) against the whole lung was measured by using GE workstation after grading.Statistical analysis on lesion detection rate was performed with McNemar test and volume percent with rank sum test.Results Air trapping regions were observed in 8 patients (25.8％,8/31) who performed CT scan at the supine position,while 15 cases (48.4％,15/31)were positive for prone position CT scan.Seven cases showed positive results at both body positions.Statistical significance in the positive detection rate at supine and prone positions was found (x2 =4.00,P =0.039).The volume fraction of the two positions was 13 for supine position and 21 for prone position with statistical significance (Z =-3.37,P =0.001).Sensitivity at prone position CT scan to detect air trapping was much higher than that at supine position CT scan.Conclusion For allo-HSCT patients with chronic rejection reaction,performing expiratory phase thin-section CT scan and prone position scan can not only improve the detection rate of lung forepart lesions,but also preliminarily evaluate the severity of the air trapping,which can provide a basis for the early diagnosis and treatment in clinics.

Objective To set up a standard for surgical classification of cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV) and their management strategy according to the classification.Methods The clinical data of 63 CTPV cases were analyzed retrospectively,the classification and the corresponding treatment strategy were evaluated.Results According to the imaging examination,surgical treatment and long-term follow-up,CTPV was classified into four types:Type Ⅰ:cavernous transformation involving main trunk of the portal vein and intrahepatic branches.Portasystemic shunt (mesocaval and splenocaval shunt)(or plus port-azygous devascularization) were used for this type;Type Ⅱ:cavernous transformation in the main trunk and proximal SV or SMV.Portasystemic shunt (mesocaval and splenocaval shunt) or plus portazygous devascularization were applied;Type Ⅲ:cavernous transformation involving the whole portal system.Portopulmonary shunt (splenopneumopexy) or inferior mesenteric-caval shunt plus port-azygous devascularization were suggested;Type Ⅳ:any types aforementioned accompanied by biliary and /or pancreatic abnormalities.The treatment should focus on main symptoms and two-stage operation.Conclusions Doppler ultrasound and multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) three dimensional (3D) reconstruction are the mainstay for the diagnosis of CTPV;Correct diagnosis,classification as well as individualized management are of great importance in the treatment of adult CTPV.
