Chinese Journal of Nephrology 2010;26(5):339-342
Objective To investigate the interrelationship among urinary albumin elimination rate(UAER),serum adiponectin(ADPN)and blood glucose level in patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy(DN). Methods A total of 89 type 2 diabetic patients and 30 healthy people as control were enrolled in the study.According to UAER,the diabetic patients were divided into three groups:normal group(35 cases,UAER<30 mg/24 h),microalbuminura group (32 cases,UAER 30-300 mg/24 h)and macroalbuminura group(22 cases,UAER>300 mg/24 h).Serum adiponectin was measured by ELISA.Body mass index (BMI),waist hip radio(WHR),fasting plasma glucose(FPG),2-hour plasma glucose(2hPG),glycated haemoglobin(HbAlc),blood lipid and UAER were measured routinely.Data were compared among groups. Results Serum adiponectin level was lower in diabetic patients than that in healthy control group(P<0.05).Among diabetic patients.serum adiponectin of macroalbuminura group was significantly higher than that of normal and microalbuminura groups[(67.74±14.89)vs(39.36±13.92),(54.38±10.14)ng/L,P<0.051.Multiple regression analysis showed 2hPG,HbAlc,BMI,disease course,UAER and DBP were closely associated with the level of serum adiponectin. Correlation analysis indicated serum adiponectin was positively correlated with age (r=0.255), disease course (r=0.405), HDL (r=0.501)and UAER (r=0.843); while negatively with HbAlc (r=-0.479), FPG (r=-0.436), 2hPG(r=-0.418),BMI (r=-0.479) and WHR (r= -0.531), all P<0.01. Conclusions Serum adiponectin is positively correlated with UAER and negatively correlated with FPG. Blood glucose level is one of the main factors affecting serum adiponectin. Strict controlling of blood glucose level is beneficial to higher level of ADPN.

Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2010;26(1):83-86
Aim To study the action mechanism of hyperin(Hyp) on neonatal rat's neuron with anoxia/reoxygenation(A/R).Methods The dissociated neonatal rat brain cells were subjected to 30 min of anoxia or followed 40 min of reoxygenation.Lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),malondialdehyde(MDA)and nitric oxide(NO)in the supernatant were measured.The intracellular free calcium concentration([Ca~(2+)]_i)in brain cells was assayed with Fura 2-AM method.Results Anoxia induced a significant increase of LDH in the supernatant from (62.0±13.0) U·L~(-1)(Sham group)to (116.0±16.6) U·L~(-1)(Control group,P<0.01),and reoxygenation markedly increased LDH and MDA in the supernatant from (45.6±9.2) U·L~(-1) and (9.1±0.9) μmol·L~(-1)(Sham group)to (106.0±17.4) U·L~(-1) and (16.4±2.7) μmol·L~(-1)(Control group,P<0.01),respectively.In the range of 1.0 ~ 16.0 μmol·L~(-1),Hyp markedly and concentration-dependently inhibited anoxia-or reoxygenation-evoked increases of LDH and MDA.1.0~16.0 μmol·L~(-1) Hyp not only inhibited anoxia-induced increase of NO in the supernatant and rise of [Ca~(2+)]_i in brain cells(P<0.05 or P<0.01),but also attenuated reoxygenation-evoked increases of NO and[Ca~(2+)]_i(P<0.05 or P<0.01),Hyp 16.0 μmol·L~(-1) significantly reduced NO and[Ca~(2+)]_i from (34.4±6.3) μmol·L~(-1) and (640±94) nmol·L~(-1) to (25.0±5.1) μmol·L~(-1) and (331±56) nmol·L~(-1),respectively.Conclusion The protective effect of Hyp on A/R-injured neurons may be related to the inhibition of overload of[Ca~(2+)]_i,NO release and lipid peroxidation.
7.Clinical analysis of 72 cases with lower respiratory tract acinetobacterial infection
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2009;16(8):1370-1371
Objective To explore the clinical features,risk factors and the sensitivity to antibiotics of lower respiratory tract acinetobacterial infection.Methods The clinical data,results of sputum bacterial culture and drug sensitivity of the 72 cases with lower respiratory tract acinetobacterial infection were netrospectively reviewed.Results 53 cases(73.6%)were elder than 60 years old,69 cases(95.8%)had basic diseases,and 59 cases(81.9%)were nosocomial infection.Risk factors included basic diseases,lower immune function,all kinds of invasive operations,aerosol inhalation,unreasonable usage of antibiotics.Drug sensitivity test showed that the drugs which sensitive to acinetobacter was upper than 50% included Imipenen,Levofloxacin,Cefooerazone/sulbactum and Amikacin.Conclusion The patients who sufferred from lower respiratory tract acinetobacterial infection usually are elder than 60 years old,and have basic diseases.Most of this kind of infection is nosocomial infection.Because of severe clinical symptom and high drug resistant rate,the prognosis is poor.Reasonable selection of sensitive antibiotics is important.
8.Influence of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha on the susceptibility of oral squamous cell carcinomas cell lines against chemotherapeutic drugs and radiation
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2006;10(47):221-225
BACKGROUND: The transcription factor, hypoxia-inducible factor-1al pha (HIF-1α), is the key regulator that controls the hypoxic response of mammalian cells. However, the role of HIF-1α in the therapeutic efficacy of chemo-radiotherapy in oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSC) is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of HIF-α on the susceptibility of OSC cell lines against chemotherapeutic drugs and radiation. DESIGN: AN observational comparative experiment. SETTING: Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University. MATERIALS: OSC-2, OSC-4, OSC-5, and OSC-6 cell lines were estab lished from oral squamous cell carcinoma (The cell lines were from the De partment of Oral Oncology, Kochi Medical School, Japan). METHODS: The experiments were completed in Beijing Chaoyang Hospi tal affiliated to Capital Medical University from September 2004 to August 2006. The cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing fetal bovine serum (FBS), L-glutamine, penicillin and streptomycin. ① Total cell lysates were extracted from untreated OSC cells and those treated with 30 Gy γ-rays, 100 μmol/L cis-dichlorodiamine plat inum (CDDP), or 100 μmol/L 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The expressions of HIF-1α protein and mRNA were determined with western blotting analysis and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). ② Inhibition of cell prolif eration after different interventions: OSC cells were seeded in 96-well mi croplates (1.0×104) and cultured for 48 hours after the irradiation with 30 Gy γ-rays or in the presence of 100 μmol/L CDDP or 100 mmol/L 5-FU, and then the inhibition of cell proliferation was detected with 3-(4,5- dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. ③ Apoptosis after different interventions: OSC cell lines were cultured for 24 hours after the irradiation with 30 Gy γ-rays or in the presence of 100 μmol/L CDDP or 100 μmol/L 5-FU. The cells were then stained with annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide, and the numbers of apoptotic cells were analyzed by a FACScan cytometer (only for the OSC cells treated with γ-rays and CDDP). ④ Plasmid construction and transfection: Human HIF 1α cDNA was cloned into the pcDNA3.1/V5-His TOPO expression vector. OSC-2 cells were temporarily transfected with HIF-1α cDNA. OSC-5 cells were temporarily transfected with HIF-1α siRNA (Sense sequence is 5' CUGAUGACCAGCAACUUGAtt 3'). The blank control group was also set, the inhibition of cell proliferation was observed, and the apoptosis was ana lyzed (only in the CDDP-treated group) by using the methods mentioned above. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Expressions of HIF-1α protein and mRNA in different OSC cell lines; ② Inhibition of proliferation and the apoptosis of OSC cell lines after different interventions; ③ Overexpression and knockdown of HIF-1α by expression vector and siRNA; ④ Influence of overexpression and knockdown of HIF-1α on the susceptibility of OSC cell lines against γ-rays and chemotherapeutic drugs. RESULTS: ① Expressions of HIF-1α protein and mRNA in different OSC cell lines: The relative expression levels of HIF-1α mRNA were 1.0, 2.2, 4.3 and 4.0 in OSC-2, OSC-4, OSC-5 and OSC-6 cells, respectively. Simi larly, the expression of HIF-1α total cell lysates proteins and nuclear proteins were much lower in OSC-2 and OSC-4 cells than in OSC-5 and OSC6 cells. ② Inhibition of proliferation and the apoptosis in OSC cell lines after different interventions: After the treatment with g-rays, CDDP, and 5-FU, the cell numbers decreased obviously to (39.5±3.2)%, (39.2±1.2)%,and(47.9±3.6)% in OSC-2 cells, (53.9±6.6)%, (54.3±1.4)%, (54.8±3.8)%in OSC-4 cells. Those decreased to (74.1±3.8)%, (76.5±9.1)%, (69.6±7.7)%in OSC-5 cells and (71.4±7.4)%, (84.4±8.8)%, (82.0±4.5)% in OSC-6 cells.After the OSC cells were treated of with CDDP, the numbers of apoptotic cells were (50.9±1.3)%, (67.3±2.2)%, (12.2±0.8)% and (38.6±0.9)% in OSC-2, OSC-4, OSC-5 and OSC-6 cells. G-rays induced the apoptosis were (21.2±1.1)%, (14.6±0.9)%, (9.7±1.0)% and (10.4±0.8)% in OSC-2, OSC-4,OSC-5 and OSC-6 cells. ③ Inhibition of proliferation and the apoptosis in the transfected cell after different interventions: The cell numbers of HIF-1 α-transfected OSC-2 cells treated with γ-rays, CDDP and 5-FU were much more than those in the control group (t=-4.693 ,-8.617,-6.721, P < 0.01),whereas the cell numbers of OSC-5 cells transfected with siRNA were obviously fewer than those in the control group (t=5.800, 5.595, 4.253, P < 0.05-0.01). After the incubation of HIF-1α-transfected OSC-2 cells with CDDP for 24 hours, apoptosis was detected in (34.0±1.9)% of the cells, which was lower than that in the control group [(49.6±3.4)%, t=6.937, P < 0.01]. After the incubation of HIF-1α siRNA transfected OSC-5 cells with CDDP for 24hours, apoptosis was detected in (27.7±2.3)% of the HIF-1α siRNA transfected OSC-5 cells, which was obviously higher than that in the blank control group [(11.4±2.1)%, t=-8.941, P < 0.01].CONCLUSION: The expression level of HIF-1α correlates negatively with the susceptibility of OSC cells against chemotherapeutic drugs and radiation. The down-regulation of HIF-1α expression enhances the susceptibility of OSC cells against chemotherapeutic drugs and radiation. Therefore, the down-regulation of HIF-1α may be a potentially effective strategy for cancer treatment.
