Objective To observe whether bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can promote the repair of IgA nephropathy and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups which were MSCs injection group, normal saline(NS) infusion group and healthy control group. IgA nephropathy model was established by the improving method with BSA +SEB +CCl4 in former two groups. MSCs of SD rats were continuously cultured in vitro and identified with specific surface antigens by flow cytometry and osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation. MSCs were labeled with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) in vitro before transplanted. At 1st and 4th week after MSCs injection, the changes of body weight, urine protein, renal function, histopathology and IgA immunofluorescence were observed. MCP-1, TGF-β1 in urine were detected by ELISA. The expression of MCP-1, TGF-β1 in kidney were examined by RT-PCR. The cytokines and BrdU labeled MSCs were detected by immunohistochemistry to observe the disposition in kidney. Results At the end of the first week of MSCs transplantation, MSCs group urine protein (36.86±4.78) mg/24 h, serum creatinine (53.50±6.28) μmol/L, and the NS group urine protein (66.98±5.86) mg/24 h, serum creatinine (82.50±8.36) μmol/L, the differences between two groups were significant (P<0.05). At the same time, the content of MCP-1, TGF-β1 in urine and expression in renal tissue of MSCs group were obviously less than those of NS group (P <0.05). At the end of the 4th week, the body weight, histopatholngy, IgA immunofluorescence of MSCs group were remarkably improved as compared with those of NS group. The content of MCP-1, TGF-β1 in urine and expression in renal tissue, and renal pathological change in MSCs group had no significant differences as compared with those of healthy control group. As the time passed, the disposition of BrdU-labeled MSCs in kidney was taper. Conclusions MSCs injection contributes to renal repair in rat IgA nephropathy. The mechanism may partly depend on adjusting the excretion of cytokines in renal microenvironment and/or other functions rather than completely depend on their differentiation to renal cells.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of perioperative administration of rhubarb on the acute inflammatory response in patients with gastric cancer. METHODS: In this prospective, single-blinded, controlled clinical trial, thirty-one patients with gastric cancer operatively treated were randomly divided into two groups, with 14 patients in control group and 17 in study group. Patients in both groups were given an isocaloric and isonitrogenous enteral diet. The enteral diet was started 36 hours after operation, and continued for 6 days. Patients in the study group were fed with rhubarb before operation, and at 1 day and 2 days after operation. Indexes of acute inflammatory response such as serum C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and indexes of nutritional status such as serum albumin (ALB), prealbumin (PA) and transferrin (TRF) were measured before operation, and at 1 day, 3 and 7 days after operation. RESULTS: Patients in both groups had acute inflammatory response, and the indexes of nutritional status decreased after operation.IL-6, CRP and TNF-alpha tested at 3 and 7 days after operation were lower in the study group as compared with those in the control group, and the recovery time of gastrointestinal motility such as borborygmus, gas elimination and defecation was shorter in the study group as compared with that in the control group. The indexes of nutritional status showed no significant differences between two groups after operation. CONCLUSION: Rhubarb can positively modulate the acute inflammatory response, promote the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal motility, and benefit enteral nutrition support in patients who have undergone major operations for gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect of preoperative acute hypervolemic hemodilution with 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4(HES130/0.4)and polygeline on hemodynamic response and variance regularity of hemodynamic response in open-and close-thoracic cavity in undergoing thoracotomy patients. Methods Sixty patients undergoing thoracotomy,ASA physical status ⅠorⅡ,aged 20~65 yeansold,weighing 45~70kg,were randomly divided three group:HES130/0.4 group ( group A,n=20) ,Polygeline group ( group B,n=20) and Ringer's solution group (group C,n=20).They were respectively infused 20ml/ (kg?h) with HES130/0.4,polygeline and Ringer's solution in one hour before infuseing followed Ringer's 10ml/ (kg?h). The Blood Pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded.RPP was calculated before induction(baseline),5min before and 10 min after open thoracic cavity,5min before and 10min after close thoracic cavity. And central venous pressure (CVP) was measured at immediately after deep venous puncture ,5min before and 10min after open thoracic cavity,5min before and 10min after close thoracic cavity. Results The changes of hemodynamics in Ringer's solution group in operation were obvious as compared with baseline before operation.HES130/0.4 and polygeline were relatively stable.Two groups had no significant difference.The CVP of HES130/0.4 and polygeline groups increased obviously before and after open thoracic cavity,but the blood pressure was relatively stable.Only systolic blood pressure increased obviously as compared with Ringer's solution group at 5min before open thoracic cavity. At 10min after open thoracic cavity,HR and CVP in three groups increased obviously as compared with 5 min before open thoracic cavity.At 5 min before close thoracic cavity,blood pressure and CVP in three groups decreased obviously as compared with 10 min after open thoracic cavity. Conclusion The preoperative acute hypervolemic hemodilution with HES 130/ 0.4 and polygeline in undergoing thoracotomy patients can keep hemodynamics more stable and improve tolerance of patients to withstand hypovolemics.

Objective To explore the correlation of meteorological parameters with the epidemic of acute Moraxella ca-tarrhalis respiratory infection in hospitalized children in Suzhou. Methods A total of 8143 children with acute respiratory infec-tion were participated in the trial during 2006 to 2010, and the secretions of nasopharynx were collected for bacterium culture. Moraxella catarrhalis was identified according to the routine technique of culture. Meteorological parameters including mean temperature, relative humidity, rainfall amount, duration of sunshine and mean wind velocity were collected monthly during the same period. The relationship between the epidemic of Moraxella catarrhalis and metrorological parameters were analyzed by seasonal decomposition method, the Spearman rank correlation and stepwise regression analysis. Results Moraxella catarrhalis was identified in 4.04% of 8 143 specimens. The prevalence of acute Moraxella catarrhalis respiratory infection was higher during winter and spring. The monthly infection rate of Moraxella catarrhalis was negatively correlated with mean temperature as well as duration of sunshine and wind velocity. Wind velocity was independent risk factor for Moraxella catarrhalis infection. Conclusions Moraxella catarrhalis is a primary pathogen in respiratory tract infection in children in Suzhou. The epidemic of Moraxella catarrhalis is closely related to meteorological parameters.
