Objective To investigate the application value of virtual touch tissue quantification (VTQ) technique in staging of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods VTQ examination was performed on a random sample of 96 CKD patients at different clinical stages and 45 healthy volunteers (control group). Shear wave velocity (SWV) of renal parenchyma was measured and compared. Correlation between SWV and clinical stage and glomeru-lar filtration rate (GFR) of CKD patients was analyzed. Results The SWV value of renal parenchyma decreased gradually, along with the progression of CKD disease and impairment of renal function. There was no significant difference(P>0.05)between the control group and the CKD1 group ( P=0.061), the CKD2 group and the CKD3 group (P = 0.238), and the CKD4 group and the CKD5 group (P = 0.624). The difference of SWV between the remaining groups was statistically significant(P < 0.05). SWV of renal parenchyma was negatively correlated with CKD stage (r =-0.65, P < 0.001), which means the higher the stage of CKD was associated with the lower the SWV. SWV was positively correlated with GFR (r = 0.73, P < 0.001), which means the lower the GFR was related to the lower the SWV. Conclusion VTQ technique can noninvasively reflect the changes of renal parenchyma elas-ticity and evaluate the impairment of renal function in CKD patients. It can provide a new quantitative evaluation index for the clinical staging of CKD.

Objective To investigate the effect of fluoride on the expression of a subunit of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase- Ⅱ (α-CaMK Ⅱ ) at both mRNA and protein levels in human neuroblastoma cells were cultured in DMEM with final concentrations of NaF 0(control) ,0.05,0.50,2.00,5.00 mmol/L, respectively, for 48 hours. Then quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot were performed to detect the expression level of α-CaMK Ⅱ P1 (postnatal day 1) pups together with their mothers were randomly divided into three groups. Lactating rats were given drinking water containing NaF at concentrations 0(control) ,2,3 mmol/L. And pups were exposed to NaF through milk. In each group, 8 pups were sacrificed on day 14 after birth. In post-weaning period, another 8 pups in each group were given drinking water with the same dose of fluoride as their mother's 21 day after birth. After then, these pups were killed on day 28, and hippocampus was dissected immediately and Western blot was conducted mRNA and protein levels were decreased. When NaF concentrations were 0,0.05,0.50,2.00,5.00 mmol/L, the mRNA relative ratios of α-CaMKⅡ in SY5Y cells were 1.00 ± 0.00,0.77 ± 0.18,0.40 ± 0.11,0.22 ± 0.06 and 0.15 ± 0.03, and protein levels of α-CaMK Ⅱ were 100.00 ± 0.00,76.17 ± 2.08,59.16 ± 2.12,48.52 ± 2.71 and 43.51 ± 2.57, any mmol/L group, hippocampus α-CaMK Ⅱ protein levels on day 14 and 28(75.02 ± 2.88,73.83 ± 3.88 and 81.00 ± 2.54,45.70 ± 2.34) were significantly lower than that of control groups(100.00 ± 0.00,100.00 ± 0.00, all P < 0.01). In 3 mmol/L group, hippocampus α-CaMKⅡ protein level on day 28 was lower than that of 2 mmol/L group (P < 0.01). Conclusion Fluoride can decrease mRNA and protein levels of α-CaMK Ⅱ in nerve cells and hippocampus, which may be one of the mechanisms of learning and memory impairment by fluorosis.

Study the infect of child anorexia granule on serum ghrelin and leptin of anorexia children and its clinical efficacy. Selected 81 cases of anorexia children aged 1-6 years old into treatment group (42 cases) and control group (39 cases), in addition, 30 case healthy children as healthy control group. The control group children were treated with domperidone suspension 0.3 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1), tid, orally 30 minutes before meals. Treatment group were treated with child anorexia granule, 1-3 years 1 package, bid; 4-6 years 1 package, tid; po, 4 weeks as a course of treatment. Study the change of serum ghrelin and leptin before and after therapy. The study demonstrates that before treatment, the serum ghrelin level of disease group was lower than healthy group (P < 0.01), and the serum leptin level was higher than healthy group (P < 0.01). After treatment, the serum ghrelin level both increase, and the serum leptin decline. And the change of treatment group was significantly different with control group (P < 0.01). And the clinical effective rate are 95.23% and 74.35% (P < 0.01). After 6 months of follow-up visit, the children weight significantly increase in treatment group (P < 0.01). Results indicate that child anorexia granule can facilitate secretion of ghrelin, and inhibit secretion of leptin, so as to work up an appetite. And the molecular mechanism is its infect on serum ghrelin, leptin.

OBJECTIVETo explore relationship between HBV DNA level and peripheral blood follicular helper T lymphocyte (Tfh) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and its significance.
METHODSHBV DNA levels of 179 cases of CHB patients with positive HBV DNA, positive HBeAg and positive human leukocyte antigen(HLA)-A2 were tested with real time fluorescent quantitative PCR. Tfh and HBV specific CTL were tested with flow cytometry. IL-21 was also tested. 179 cases of CHB patients were divided into group A and group B based on HBV DNA levels, 86 cases in group A, HBV DNA levels were 10(4)-10(5) copies/ml, 93 cases in group B, HBV DNA levels were 10(6)-10(7) copies/ml. Above testing indexes of the two groups were compared.
RESULTSHBV DNA levels of group A were (4.85 +/- 0.37) log10 copies/ml, HBV DNA levels of group B were (6.83 +/- 0.31 ) log10 copies/ml, t = 27.31, P < 0. 001; Tfh of group A was (5.96 +/- 1.59)%, higher than that of group B (3.71 +/- 2.15)%, t = 4.92, P < 0.01; IL-21 of group A was (42.61 +/- 15.11)ng/L, higher than that of group B (14.91 +/- 3.15) ng/L, t = 8.62, P < 0.01; HBV specific CTL of group A was (0.36 +/- 0.08)%, higher than that of group B (0.18 +/- 0.06)%, t = 19.99, P < 0.001.
CONCLUSIONSerum HBV DNA level of CHB patients is related to the level of peripheral blood Tfh level: patients with low HBV DNA level have high Tfh level, high IL-21 level and high HBV specific CTL level. Patients with high HBV DNA level have low Tfh level, low IL-21 level and low HBV specific CTL level. The mechanism of baseline HBV DNA level affecting anti-viral therapy may be related to Tfh level.
