Objective: To explore the differential lipid metabolites in the plasma of mice with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF). Methods : Thirty SPF C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into 2 groups with 15 mice in each group. The experimental groups were divided into control group and bleomycin(BLM) group. The model of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis was induced by one-time intratracheal infusion of BLM(1 mg/kg). Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the lung histopathology. The collagen fiber deposition in lung tissue was observed by Sirius red staining. The differential lipid metabolites in plasma of IPF mice were screened and enriched by lipidomics. Results : HE staining showed that the pulmonary tissue structure was disordered, alveolar septum was broken and alveolar wall was destroyed in BLM group. Sirius red staining showed a large amount of collagen fiber deposition in the lung interstitium of BLM group. The results of lipidomics analysis showed that the lipid metabolism profile of BLM group changed, 15 differential lipid metabolites were screened out, of which 11 differential lipid metabolites were up-regulated, and 4 differential lipid metabolites were down-regulated, mainly concentrated in glycerophosphoglycerophosphates, glycerophosphocholines, steroid lactones, etc. Conclusion The lipid metabolism profile of BLM group mice changes, differential lipid metabolites such as phosphoglycolate phosphatase(PGP)(18:0/18:0), PGP(i-12:0/i-24:0), PGP(i-13:0/a-25:0), and phosphatidylcholine(PC)(18:0/14:0), PC(18:3/16:0), lysophosphatidylcholine(LPC)(16:1), and LPC(18:3) may play an important role in the progression of IPF. These findings provide a new reference for further study of the molecular mechanism of IPF, and also provide a potential new target for clinical treatment.

Aim To investigate the effect of interdialytic serum potassium levels on thrombosis of autologous ar-teriovenous fistula(AVF)in patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD)on maintenance haemodialysis(MHD).Methods 159 CKD patients who underwent MHD in our hospital from October 2021 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into hyperkalemia group(n=53),normal serum potassium group(n=61)and hypokalemia group(n=45)according to the mean serum potassium level of patients with different dialysis intervals,and all patients were followed up for 1 year or followed up until AVF thrombosis.General datas were collected and the following indicators were detected at the time of patient enrolment,including biochemical indicators,inflammatory factors,ultrasound indicators of AVF and oxidative stress factors levels.Multifactorial Logistic regression equations were used to analyze the effects of clinical indicators on AVF thrombosis in MHD patients,receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to assess the predictive efficacy of clinical indicators on AVF thrombosis;And interval likelihood ratio was used to stratify interdialyt-ic serum potassium levels,and further observe whether the relationship was stability between AVF thrombosis and interdia-lytic serum potassium levels in MHD patients.Results Compared with the normal serum potassium group,the levels of C-reactive protein(CRP),intact parathyroid hormone(iPTH),procalcitonin(PCT),triglyceride(TG),malondial-dehyde(MDA),myeloperoxidase(MPO),brachial artery resistance index(RI),brachial artery pulsatility index(PI)and radial artery PI were significantly elevated in hyperkalemia group and hypokalemia group,while the levels of albumin(Alb),total cholesterol(TC),superoxide dismutase(SOD)and fistula blood flow were significantly reduced(P＜0.05).Systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,fistula blood flow,Alb and SOD levels were significantly lower in patients with AVF thrombosis than those in patients with AVF unthrombosis(P＜0.05);Interdialytic mean serum potassium level,CRP,iPTH,PCT,brachial artery RI,brachial artery PI,radial artery PI,radial artery RI,MDA and MPO levels were significantly higher in patients with AVF thrombosis(P＜0.05).The ROC curve was used to analyse the model estab-lished by the multifactorial Logistic regression equation,and it was found that model 1 and model 2 had good predictive effi-cacy,and model 2 had the best predictive efficacy.The results of the interval likelihood ratio showed that:when the patient's interdialytic serum potassium level was 3.5～4.5 mmol/L,the possibility of the patient's AVF thrombosis was the lowest,and when the patient's interdialytic serum potassium level was＞5.5 mmol/L or＜3.5 mmol/L,the possibility of the patient's AVF thrombosis was higher,and when the patient's serum potassium level was＞5.5 mmol/L,the probability of AVF thrombosis was the highest in patients,which was 3.925 times higher than that of patients without AVF thrombosis.Conclusion Abnormal interdialytic serum potassium levels may induce AVF thrombosis in CKD patients.Serum potassium levels can be monitored during MHD treatment to enable timely intervention and improve clinical treatment outcomes for patients.

The objectiue was to explore how to improve stem cell derivation from human great saphenous vein. After the saphenous vein was cut into small pieces, the cells of the vessel wall were obtained by tissue adherent method and digestion with type Ⅱ collagenase. The morphological changes of blood vessel wall were observed under inverted microscope. The survival of vascular wall cells was assessed by trypan blue staining. Stem cells doubly positive for CD34 and CD117 were sorted out by immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometry. The cells obtained by tissue adherence method exhibited signs of fibrotic changes and aging at the third passage (P3), while the cells extracted by enzymatic digestion still showed colony-like growth. Survival rates of these two groups of cells were (91.7±1.2)% and (97.2±0.7)%, (P=0.005). The results of flow cytometry showed that the positive rates of CD34 and CD117 double positive cells in these two groups were (0.16± 0.05)% and (0.44±0.07)%, respectively, with statistical significance (P=0.005). Immunofluorescent staining showed that the positive rates of double positive stem cells in the two groups were (89.41±2.06)% and (94.03±1.83)%, P<0.05 one week after the sorted stem cells were cultured. The positive rates of CD31, VEGF2 and SMA in the stem cells determined by flow cytometry were (0.12±0.01)%, (0.19±0.02)% and (0.45±0.01)%, respectively, which were not statistically different from those of the control groups. This could rule out substantial inclusion of mature endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells. Tube forming experiment confirmed that these vascular stem cells had developmental plasticity. More viable and morphologically healthy vascular stem cells can be derived by enzymatic digestion. These cells can be widely used in clinical and basic research.
