Objective To observe the effects of blocking renin-angiotensin system with losartan or perindopril on renal angiotensinⅡand its type 1 receptor (AT1R) expression in STZ-induced (diabetic) rats. Methods Male SD rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: normal control group (NC) and (diabetic) group. Diabetes was induced by STZ (65 mg/kg) abdominal injection. Four weeks later, diabetic rats were further divided into 4 groups: diabetic rats treated with losartan (DL, 20 mg·kg-1·d-1),diabetic rats treated with perindopril (DP,2 mg·kg-1·d-1) and diabetic untreated control group(DC). Radioimmunoassay was used to measure plasma and renal angiotensin (Ⅱ.)Expression of AT1R was detected by RT-PCR in each group before and after 12 week′s treatment. Results At the 4th week, renal AT1R expression decreased. At the 16th week, plasma angiotensinⅡ,renal angiotensinⅡand AT1R mRNA in diabetic untreated group were significantly higher than those in normal rats. (Renal) angiotensinⅡand AT1R in losartan or perindopril-treatmented group were significantly lower than those in DC group. Conclusion Intrarenal RAS is abnormal in STZ-induced diabetic rats. Renoprotective effects of losartan and perindopril may partly induced by inhibiting renal angiotensinⅡ and AT1R (expression.)

Methods The following groups of rats were studied: normal control rats ,diabetic control rats and diabetic rats treated with perindopril (2mg?kg -1 ?d -1 ) . After 4 weeks or 12 weeks treatment , alterations of renal ultrastructure were observed in each group, Urinary albumin excretion was observed every 4 weeks.Results Urinary albumin excretion of diabetic rats treated with perindopril were significantly lower than that of diabetic untreated group(P

Objective To observe the effect of losartan on urinary albumin excretion in streptozotocin diabetic rats.Methods The following groups of rats were studied:normal control rats(NC),diabetic control rats (DC),diabetic rats treated with losartan 〔20mg/(kg*d)〕(DL) and diabetic rats treated with perindopril (2mg/(kg*d)〕(DP).Urinary albumin was observed at the 4th、8th、12th and 16th week.Results Urinary albumin excretion of diabetic rats treated with losartan or perindopril were significantly lower than that of diabetic untreated group (P<0.01).The effect was not different between losartan treated and perindopril treated rats.Conclusion The results suggested that losartan can reduce urinary albumin excretion in diabetic rats.

In order to identify host factors which interact with the movement protein (MP) of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV), ACLSV MP was cloned into the bait vector pGBKT7 and used to screen a cDNA library of Malus sylvestris cv. R12740-7A, which had previously been constructed by yeast two-hybrid sequencing transformation. The protein functions of the identified host factors were determined according to their gene annotations in GenBank. The result showed that the bait plasmid pGBKT7-MP showed no virulence or self-activating effect on yeast strain Y2H Gold. Sixty-nine interactor proteins were identified, which were divided into the following 10 classes according to their described functions: hydrolases; pathogenesis-related proteins; DNA binding proteins; phosphatases; ligases; proteins with catalytic activity; phenylalanine ammonialyases; peroxidases; NAD binding proteins; and proteins of unknown function. Bioinformatic analysis of gene homology suggested that phosphatases, pathogenesis-related proteins and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase A may play an important role in the interaction between virus and host. This study may provide a theoretical basis for the further study of viral pathogenesis and virus-host interaction mechanisms.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and its correlation with the 24 h microalbuminuria (mALB) in patients with small artery occlusion (SAO).Methods The patients with SAO were enrolled.CMBs were detected with susceptibility-weighted imaging.The demographic and clinical characteristics and 24 h mALB of the patients were compared.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors for CMB in patients with SAO.Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between the 24 h mALB and the degree of CMBs.Results A total of 90 patients with SAO were enrolled and 35 patients (38.89%) had CMBs.CMBs mainly distributed in basal ganglia/thalamus and infratentorial (62%) regions.The Age (70.8 ± 5.4 vs.67.3 ± 8.1; t =2.461,P =0.016),proportion of hypertension (80.0% vs.52.7% ;x2 =6.851,P =0.009),and 24 h mALB levels (16.257 ± 6.031 mg/24 h vs.11.910 ±5.458 mg/24 h; t =3.536,P =0.001) in the CBM group were significantly higher than those in the non-CMB group.Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that the 24 h mALB and the severity of CMB in patients with SAO showed a significant positive correlation (rs =0.795,P =0.000).The higher the 24 h mALB level was,the more severe the CMB degree would be.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that only 24 h mALB was the only independent risk factor for CMBs in patients with SAO (odds ratio,1.100,95% confidence interval 1.031-1.176; P =0.002).Conclusions The 24 h mALB is an independent risk factor for CMB in patients with SAO.The 24 h mALB level is positively correlated with the severity of CMB,and it may be used as a marker for small vascular injury.

Objective To investigate the effects of tropicamide and esculin-digitalisglycosides combination eye drops on low myopia of children (age ranging from 6 to 14). Methods Eighty children with 160 eyes of low myopia in the outpatient department of ophthalmology of our hospital were chose from July 2010 to April 2013, then the patients were equally divided into four groups:the control, esculin-digitalisglycosides eye drops,tropicamide,and tropicamide and esculin-digitalisglycosides combination groups. The naked vision and myopia correction of each group were compared before and after treatment for two weeks, and the treatment effects were compared among four groups. Results (1) The results showed there were no significant changes before and after treatment in the control, esculin-digitalisglycosides eye drops and tropicamide groups ( >0.05); (2) On the contrast, the tropicamide and esculin-digitalisglycosides combination have significantly improved naked vision and myopia correction after 2 weeks ( <0.05);(3) Prior to the treatment,there was no significant difference among four groups (<0.05);(4) After treatment,group under tropicamide and esculin- digitalisglycosides combined was statistical different from the other groups treated with other three eye drops ( <0.05);However, there was no statistical difference among groups in these three eyedrops. Conclusion Esculin-digitalisglycosides combined with tropicamide was the most effective treatment for low myopia of children.
