Objective To explore effects and mechanism of inactivation of vitamin D receptor (VDR) in intestinal tumor growth of APCmin/+ mice. Methods To generate APCmin/+VDR -/- mice through breeding, the number and size of small intestinal and colonic tumors were assessed and compared between APCmin/+ and APCmin/+ VDR -/- mice. The intestinal tumors were diagnosed with HE stain. The expressions of BCL-2,vimentin-1,Stat-1 and MSH-2 proteins of tumors were determined by immanohistocbemistry and compared be-tween APCmin/+ and APCmin/+VDR -/- mice. Results A comparison between APCmin/+ and APCmin/+ VDR -/- mice revealed that the number of the tumors, which were larger than 3mm, was significantly increased in APCmin/+ VDR -/- mice at 4 months of age (P< 0.01). HE staining indicated fistulous adenomas from small intestine and colon of two groups, Immunostaining showed Stat - 1 level in APC-min/+ tumors were increased and MSH-2 and vimentin-1 levels in APCmin/+ VDR-/- mice were increased, compared to APCmin/+tumors. Conclusion These observations suggested that inactivation of VDR promoted the intestinal tumor growth of APCmin/+ mice.

Objective To explore the relationship between respiratory viruses infection and the episode of steroid responsive simple nephrotic syndrome(SRSNS).Methods Thirty-eight children with SRSNS were selected,including the active stage group(n=28)and the remission group(n=10).The urine from 18 cases of nephritic nephrosis,16 cases of bronchiolitis,15 cases of secondary glomerular diseases and 15 cases of healthy children were served as controls.By using the method of reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and alkaline phosphoesterase-anti alkaline phosphoesterase enzyme-linked assay(APAAP),viral genes and antigens in urine were assayed,respectively.Results The positive rate of detecting viruses in the active stage group of SRSNS children was higher than that in the remission group and the other control groups(Pa

Objective To investigate the prevalence of renal insufficiency and its associated factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus with normoalbuminuria using estimated glomerular filtration rate ( eGFR) .Methods We retrospectively analyzed 10-year data of chronic complications in type 2 diabetics in-patient from the Chinese Diabetes Society.eGFR was estimated using the equation from Modification of Diet in Renal Disease(MDRD) study.The clinical characteristics as well as associated factors for low eGFR were analyzed among the normoalbuminuric type 2 diabetic patients.Results A total of 1351 type 2 diabetic patients were included, 755 patients with normoalbuminuria, 466 patients with microalbuminuria and 130 patients with macroalbuminuria respectively.Among the patients, 310 (22.9% ) had low eGFR (GFR <60 ml · min~(-1) · 1.73 m~(-2) ) , 19.7% (149/755) in the patients with normoalbuminuria, 21.9% (102/466) in microalbuminuria and 45.4% ( 59/130 ) in macroalbuminuria Patients with normoalbuminuria and low eGFR suffered more chronic complications than those with normoalbuminuria and normal eGFR, mainly retinopathy, cerebrovascular diseases and sensory neuropathy.Stepwise logistic regression analysis revealed that age ( OR = 1.042, P < 0.001), diabetic duration ( OR = 1.038, P = 0.045), systolic blood pressure (OR = 1.017, P < 0.001) were independently associated with renal impairment among the patients with normoalbuminuria.Body mass index ( OR = 0.868, P < 0.001) and HbAlc (OR =0.898, P =0.021) were also related with renal insufficiency.Conclusion A considerable proportion in type 2 diabetic patients without albuminuria may exist renal impairment, and eGFR estimation could benefit the evaluation of renal function in such patients.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of three types of anesthesia methods in elderly patients with coronary heart disease undergoing unilateral lower extremity surgery.Methods Totally 65 patients with coronary heart disease of cardiac function Ⅰ-Ⅱ (NYHA),scheduled for undergoing unilateral lower limb surgery were randomly divided into three groups:local nerve block anesthesia of lumbar plexus plus the sciatic nerve (21 cases),general anesthesia (19 cases),epidural anesthesia (25 cases).Systolic blood pressure (SBP),heart rate (HR),pulse rate and blood oxygen saturation (SPO2) at 0 min,10 min,20 min,30 min,40 min after surgery at the end of the surgery were observed and recorded.The change of troponin Ⅰ (cTnI) at 3 day after surgery was observed.Visual analoguc scales (VAS) scores.movement reaction,the infortnation of muscle relax and corresponding management were recorded in order to detect anesthesia efficacy.Results The excellent and satisfactory rate of anesthesia efficacy of three groups were 17 cases (81.0％) and 4 cases (19.0％),17 eases (89.5％) and 2 cases (10.5％),22 cases (88.0％) and 3 cases (12.0％) (all P＞0.05).In epiduralgroup compared with other groups,SBP were decreased (both P＜0.05).cTnI in nerve stimulator group was decreased (all P＜0.05) at 1 and 3 day after surgery compared with general anesthesia group,and at 3 day after surgery,cTnI level in nerve stimulator group was lower than other two groups(all P＜0.05).Conclusions The nerve stimulator guided nerve block is the most safe method among general anesthesia and epidural anesthesia in elderly patients with coronary heart disease scheduled for lower extremity surgery.

Objective To investigate the impact of anesthetization and manipulation on neurotransmitters glutamate and dopamine during cell transplantation. Methods Neural stem cells cultured in vitro from postnatal rats were implanted into the striatum of normal adult rats. Brain microdialysis combined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was applied to dynamically detect the impact of microdialysis probe implantation, anesthetics ketamine and pentobarbital and implanted cells etc on glutamate and dopamine levels. Results After 15 min probe implantation into the rat striatum, glutamate and dopamine levels in the striatum increased, evidently higher than the baseline value and declined to the baseline level within about 5-6 h. Ketamine and pentobarbital anesthetization for 15 rain resulted in a transient increase in glutamate and dopamine levels in the rat striamm;there were no significant effects on in vivo glutamate and dopamine levels by cell implantation itself. Conclusion Routine doses of intraperitoneal ketamine or pentobarbital anesthetization may result in a transient increase in glutamate and dopamine levels within the brain extracellular space. Based on these data, the optimal time for commencing brain microdialysis on glutamate and dopamine should be at least 6 h after probe implantation.

Objective To investigate the role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α/ hexokinase Ⅱ (HIF-1α/HKⅡ) signaling pathway in the inhibition of hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced apoptosis in the rat cardiomyocytes by hypoxic preconditioning (HPC).Methods Primarily cultured cardiomyocytes obtained from the neonatal rats were seeded in culture dishes at the density of 5× 105cells/ml.The cardiomyocytes were attached to the wall for 72 h and then randomly divided into 6 groups (n=15 each) using a random number table:control group (group C);group H/R;group HPC;HIF-1o inhibitor YC-1 group (group YC-1);group HPC + YC-1;dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group.The ceils were exposed to D-Hank solution saturated with 95％ N2 and 5％ CO2 for 4 h,and then cultured in the normal culture atmosphere for 2 h.The cells in YC-1 and DMSO groups were incubated in the culture medium containing 10 μmol/l YC-1 and 0.1％ DMSO (100 μl) for 24 b,respectively.HPC was induced by 3 cycles of 10 min hypoxia followed by 30 min reoxygenation,and H/R injury model was then established in group HPC.In group HPC+YC-1,the cells were incubated for 5 min in the M199 culture medium supplemented with 10 μmol/L YC-1 and 10％ fetal bovine serum,and the other treatments were similar to those previously described in group HPC.After the end of treatments,the apoptosis in cardiomyocytes was detected by TUNEL,the expression of HIF-1α,HKⅡ and cytochrome c was detected by Western blot,and the mitochondrial membrane potential was quantitatively measured using fluorescence.Apoptotic rate was calculated.Results Compared with group C,the apoptotic rate was significantly increased,the mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly decreased,and the expression of HIF-1α,HKⅡ and cytochrome c was significantly up-regulated in group H/R (P＜0.05).Compared with group H/R,the apoptotic rate was significantly decreased,and the mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly increased,and the expression of HIF-1αt and HKⅡ was significantly up-regulated,and the expression of cytochrome c was significantly down-regulated in group HPC (P＜0.05).Compared with group HPC,the apoptotic rate was significantly increased,the mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly decreased,the expression of HIF-1α and HKⅡ was significantly down-regulated,and the expression of cytochrome c was significantly up-regulated in group HPC+YC-1 (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which HPC inhibits H/R-induced apoptosis in rat cardiomyocytes is associated with activation of HIF-1α/HKⅡ signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the correlation of peritumoral brain edema( PTBE)size,histologi-cal grades and the expression rate of Ki-67 in gliomas. Methods The data and specimens about 74 cases of gliomas in People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region during 2010-2013 were collected. All cases were confirmed by surgery and pathology. According to preoperative MRI,PTBE was graded. Immunohisto-chemical discriminate the expression of Ki-67. HE coloration distinguish the histological grades. Results In this study,90. 54%(67/74)patients occured PTBE,the incidence of PTBE inⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳlevel of groups were 100%(3/3),78. 95%(15/19),83. 33%(15/18),100%(34/34). Ki-67 expression was positive in 75. 68%(56/74)patients,and the rates were 0,36. 84%(7/19),94. 44%(17/18),94. 12%(32/34) in Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ level of groups. The expression rate of Ki-67 was 57. 14%(4/7),60. 00%(6/10),and 80. 70%(46/57)in normal group,Ⅰ-level groups of PTBE,Ⅱ-level groups of PTBE. The result of Kruskal-Wallis H showed that the PTBE from different grades was statistically significant(H=11. 304,P=0. 010). The expression rate of Ki-67 in different grade gliomas was statistically significant(H=38. 530,P﹤0. 05), The difference of expression Ki-67 in gliomas of different PTBE was statistically significant( H=6. 478,P=0. 039). The result of Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that the PTBE level increased with the histo-logical grade up in gliomas(r=0. 385,P=0. 001). The expression rate of Ki-67 increased with the histologi-cal grade up in gliomas(r=0. 692,P﹤0. 05),and the expression rate of Ki-67 increased with the degree of PTBE up in glomas( r =0. 256,P =0. 028 ). Conclusion Accorrding to the PTBE size,the histological grades and proliferation ability of glioma can be judged pre-operation. Ki-67 can be used as the indicator of pro-liferation activity of tumor,and also be used as the important basis of histological grades.
