Objective To investigate the role of silent mating type information regulation 2 homologue 1(SIRT1) in renal ischemia-reperfusion(IR) injury and its effect on NF-κBp65-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1α) signal pathway in mice.Methods Seventy-two healthy C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into four groups:control group(n=18),sham-operated group(n=18),IR group(n=18),resveratrol group(n=18).Bilateral renal pedicle were clamped for 45 min was adopted to establish the model of acute ischemic renal injury,to give 2％ dimethyl sulfoxide or resveratrol by intraperitoneal injection for 7 days before modeling.Determination techniques included routine biochemical methods for the the levels of Scr and BUN,spectrophotometry for the level of superoxide dismutase (SOD),HE staining for the histological changes as well as immunohistochemical method and Western blotting for the expressions of SIRT1,NF-κBp65 and PGC-1α,respectively.Results Compared with that in control and sham-operated groups,the levels of serum Scr and BUN were higher and SOD levels in renal tissues were lower at 12 h and 24 h after operation in IR groups(P ＜ 0.05).HE staining revealed evident pathological lesions including necrosis of renal tubular epithelial cells in IR group.Compared with that in IR group,resveratrol attenuated the above-mentioned changes.Western blotting revealed the up-regulated SIRT1 expression and the activated NF-κB signal pathway,the up-regulated p65 expression and the down-regulated PGC-1αexpression subsequent to IR(P ＜ 0.05).Both Western blotting and immunohistochemistry showed that the expressions of SIRT1 and PGC-1α in resveratrol group were up-regulated compared to that in IRgroup(P ＜ 0.05),while the NF-κBp65 expression in resveratrol group was down-regulated(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions In mouse model of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury,the activation of SIRT1 can inhibit the NF-κBp65 expression and accordingly up-regulated PGC-1α level,contributing to inhibiting inflammatory reactions and attenuating oxidative stress-induced injury in the protection of the kidneys.

ObjectiveTo analyze and compare the difference and prognosis between vascular embolization and craniotomy occlusion in patients suffering from aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) with Hunt-Hess levelⅢ-Ⅳ, and acute postoperative hydrocephalus.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 767 patients who had undergone vascular embolization (vascular embolization group,n = 403) or craniotomy occlusion operation (craniotomy occlusion operation group,n = 364), and the patients with postoperative acute hydrocephalus were screened. The clinical data of patients of both groups was analyzed. By judging short-term prognosis in patients with hydrocephalus with Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) score estimated at discharge, the advantages and disadvantages of two surgical procedures were compared.Results The number of cases with postoperative hydrocephalus in vascular embolization group was 56 (13.90%), while that in craniotomy occlusion group was 33 (9.07%). The difference between the two groups of incidence of hydrocephalus was statistically significant (χ2= 4.350,P = 0.037 ). In 767 patients with aSAH, the incidence of hydrocephalus among the patients after the hematoma removal operation was significantly lower than that of patients without hematoma removal [3.07% (11/358) vs. 19.07% (78/409),χ2 = 47.635,P = 0.000]. The incidence of hydrocephalus among the patients after ventricular drainage was significantly lower than that of patients without the drainage [2.77% (19/685) vs. 85.37% (70/82),χ2 = 487.032,P = 0.000]. In 403 cases of vascular embolization group, the incidence of hydrocephalus in the patients after the hematoma removal operation was lower than that of patients without it [8.06% (5/62) vs. 14.96% (51/341),χ2 = 2.082,P = 0.168]. The incidence of hydrocephalus in the patients after the ventricular drainage was lower than that of patients without drainage [2.59% (9/347) vs. 83.93% (47/56),χ2 = 266.599,P = 0.000]. In 364 cases of craniotomy occlusion operation group, the incidence of hydrocephalus in the patients after hematoma removal operation was significantly lower than that of patients did not receive [2.03% (6/296) vs. 39.71% (27/68),χ2 = 95.226,P = 0.000]. The incidence of hydrocephalus among the patients after the ventricular drainage was significantly lower than that of patients without drainage [2.96% (10/338) vs. 88.46% (23/26),χ2 = 203.852,P = 0.000]. The difference in incidence of hydrocephalus between the patients who had hematoma removal surgery between vascular embolization group and craniotomy occlusion operation group was statistically significant [8.06% (5/62) vs. 2.03% (6/296),χ2 = 4.411,P = 0.027], while no statistically difference was present in ventricular drainage patients [2.59% (9/347) vs. 2.96% (10/338),χ2 = 0.085,P = 0.819]. There were 23 patients (41.07%) with good outcome (GOS score 4-5), while 33 (58.93%) with poor outcome (GOS score 1-3) in 56 patients undergone vascular embolization operation. Good result (GOS score 4-5) was shown in 21 (63.64%) and 12 (36.36%) with poor outcome (GOS score 1-3) among 33 patients with hydrocephalus after craniotomy occlusion operation, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 4.230,P = 0.039).Conclusions Hematoma is one of the main factor contributing to the differences in the incidence of postoperative hydrocephalus of Hunt-Hess gradeⅢ-Ⅳ patients either receiving vascular embolization or craniotomy occlusion operation. Lateral ventricle drainage may not be the factor that contributes to the difference in incidence of hydrocephalus formation between the vascular embolization and craniotomy occlusion operation groups in Hunt-Hess levelⅢ-Ⅳ patients. The short term prognosis in the craniotomy occlusion operation group is superior to that of endovascular intervention embolization group.

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) refers the primary, non-traumatic parenchymal hemorrhage. In China, SICH accounts for about 20%-30%of total strokes. SICH is a kind of disease affected by multiple factors includ?ing environmental and genetic factors. The high morbidity and mortality cause serious damage to human health. Therefore, it is important to find etiology and risk factors of SICH. The article reviewed the progress of SICH pathogenesis in the perspec?tive of genetics and molecular biology.

Objective To investigate the significance of test of receptor activator of nuclear factor?kappa B(NF?κB)ligand(RANKL)in serum and urine for the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Methods A total of 53 patients with osteoporosis(the experimental group)and 45 healthy controls(the normal control group)were recruited in this study. The expression levels of RANKL in serum and urine was measured and compared by enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay. Results The serum and urine levels of RANKL in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group(P<0.01). The areas under receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve of serum and urine RANKL were 0.898 and 0.734, respectively. The combined detection of serum and urine RANKL and Ca2+reached a high sensitivity of 89.5%and a specificity of 86.1%for diagno?sis of osteoporosis. Conclusion RANKL may be closely associated with the progression of osteoporosis. Serum and urine RANKL test may be help?ful in the diagnosis of osteoporosis.
