Objective To analyze the correlation between serum levels of long non-coding RNA cyclin-de-pendent kinase inhibitor 2B antisense RNA 1(lncRNA CDKN2B-AS1),and microRNA-184(miR-184)in pa-tients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS)and the occurrence of coronary artery restenosis(RS)after percu-taneous coronary intervention(PCI)treatment.Methods A total of 288 ACS patients who underwent PCI treatment in the hospital from February 2020 to March 2023 were selected.According to the results of follow-up angiography at 6 months after surgery,they were separated into a RS group of 96 cases and a non RS group of 192 cases.The quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR)method was applied to detect the relative expression levels of serum lncRNA CDKN2B-AS1 and miR-184.Pearson correlation was applied to analyze the correlation between serum lncRNA CDKN2B-AS1 and miR-184.The factors affecting the occurrence of RS in ACS pa-tients after PCI were analyzed using multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to analyze the evaluation value of serum lncRNA CDKN2B-AS1 and miR-184 for the occurrence of RS in ACS patients after PCI.Results Compared with the non RS group,the serum lncRNA CDKN2B-AS1 level in the RS group was obviously increased,while the miR-184 level was obviously reduced(P＜0.05).There were statistically significant differences in the levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),interleukin-18(IL-18),total bilirubin(TBIL),and cardiac troponin Ⅰ(cTnⅠ)between the two groups(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a obvious negative correlation(r=-0.427,P＜0.05)between the expression levels of serum lncRNA CDKN2B-AS1 and miR-184 in ACS pa-tients.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis results showed that lncRNA CDKN2B-AS1,hs-CRP,IL-18,and cTnⅠ were risk factors affecting the occurrence of RS in ACS patients after PCI,while miR-184 and TBIL were protective factors affecting the occurrence of RS in ACS patients after PCI(P＜0.05).ROC curve re-sults showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of serum lncRNA CDKN2B-AS1,miR-184,and their com-bination in evaluating the occurrence of RS in ACS patients after PCI was 0.787,0.844,and 0.929,respective-ly,and the AUC of the combined evaluation the occurrence of RS in ACS patients after PCI was obviously higher than those of serum lncRNA CDKN2B-AS1 and miR-184 alone(Zcombination-lncRNACDKN2B-AS1=4.490,Zcombination-miR-184=3.429,all P＜0.05).Conclusion The serum lncRNA CDKN2B-AS1 level in ACS patients is obviously elevated,while miR-184 level is obviously reduced,which is correlated with the occurrence of RS in ACS patients after PCI.Both are factors that affect the occurrence of RS in ACS patients after PCI,and the combination of the two has better evaluation effect on the occurrence of RS in ACS patients after PCI.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of urine abnormalities for school children in Chengdu city and to evaluate the significance of urinary screening.Methods During January to December 2013,morning urine of 6 615 students were collected and screened by urine reagent paper.Two weeks later,the repeated screening was conducted in the children whose urine samples were positive for the first screening.Urine samples with positive testing results for twice were submitted to urine routine tests at local hospital,and the children with the urine positive results were defined as urine abnormalities.The children with urine abnormalities were transferred to a tertiary hospital and given treatment and follow-up.Results There were 6 615 cases receiving urine screening,including 2 624 cases (39.67 ％) of the grade I,and 3 991 cases(60.33％) at junior middle school.During the first screening,323 cases (4.83％) children had urinary occult blood positive,43 cases (0.65％) had urinary protein,20 cases (0.30％) had occult blood positive and proteinuria,and 103 cases (1.56％) had white cells in urine.During the second urine screening,62 cases (0.94％) had occult blood positive,6 cases (0.09％) had urinary protein,2 cases (0.03％) had proteinuria and occult blood positive,46 cases (0.70％) had white cells in urine.The incidence of urine abnormalities with occult blood positive,proteinuria,occult blood positive and proteinuria,and white cells in urine of children at junior middle school [1.38％ (55/3 991 cases),0.13％ (5/3 991 cases),0.05％ (2/3 991 cases),0.70％ (28/3 991 cases)] were significantly higher than those of children at primary school [0.27％ (7/2 624 cases),0.04％ (1/2 624 cases),0 (0/ 2 624 cases),0.69％ (18/2 624 cases)],and all the differences were statisticallysignificant (x2 =64.16,168.53,178.09,98.16,all P ＜ 0.05).In children transferred to a tertiary hospital for treatment,there were 4 cases with IgA nephropathy,1 case with minor glomerular abnormalities,and 12 cases with urinary tract infection.Conclusion Urinary screening is an effective way to find out kidney disease and urinary tract infection in children.Follow-ups should be strengthened.

Objective To investigate the effect of remifentanil on protein kinase C (PKC) activity during renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Seventy-five male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=15 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),I/R group,remifentanil group (group R),naloxone group (group N),and naloxone + remifentanil group (group NR).Renal ischemia was induced by clamping the bilateral renal arteries for 45 min using an atraumatic clamp followed by reperfusion.In R and NR groups,remifentanil 1.0 μg · kg-1 · min-1was infused via the caudal vein starting from 15 min before ischemia until 30 min of reperfusion.In N and NR groups,naloxone 0.3 mg/kg was injected via the caudal vein at 20 min before ischemia and 35 min of ischemia,respectively.The rats were sacrificed at 24 h of reperfusion and the kidneys were removed for determination of the ultrastructure of the renal tubular epithelial cells (using transmission electron microscope),activity of PKC in renal tissues (by ELISA),and expression of the PKC in renal tissues (by immuno-histochemistry).Results Compared with group S,the activity of PKC in renal tissues was significantly increased in the other four groups,and the expression of the PKC in renal tissues was up-regulated in group R.Compared with group I/R,the activity of PKC in renal tissues was significantlyincreased,the expression of PKC in renal tissues was up-regulated,and the pathological changes were attenuated in group R.Compared with group R,the activity of PKC in renal tissues was significantly decreased,the expression of PKC in renal tissues was down-regulated,and the pathological changes were aggravated in N and NR groups.Conclusion The mechanism by which remifentanil attenuates renal I/R injury may be related to up-regulation of PKC expression and increase in PKC activity through activating opioid receptors in rats.

Objective To evaluate the effect of remifentanil on cell apoptosis during renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Seventy-five male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 220-250 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =25 each):sham operation group (group S),I/R group,and remifentanil group (group R).Renal ischemia was induced by occlusion of the bilateral renal arteries for 45 min followed by reperfusion in groups I/R and R.Remifentanil was infused at 1.0 μg· kg-1 · min-1 via the caudal vein starting from 15 min before ischemia until 30 min of reperfusion in group R,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead of remifentanil in groups S and I/R.At 15 min before ischemia (T0) and 3,6,12,24 h of reperfusion (T1-4),5rats were anesthetized and sacrificed,and renal specimens were obtained to detect the apoptotic rate and expression of Bax and Bcl-2 protein (by flow cytometry) and mRNA (by RT-PCR).The ratios between Bcl-2/Bax protein and mRNA expression were calculated.The pathological changes of renal tubules were scored.Results Compared with group S,the pathological scores and apoptotic rate were significantly increased at T1-4,and ratios between Bcl-2/Bax protein and mRNA expression were increased at T1,2,while decreased at T3,4 in groups R and I/R (P ＜0.01).Compared with group I/R,the pathological scores and apoptotic rate were significantly decreased at T1-4,while the ratios between Bcl-2/Bax protein and mRNA expression were increased in group R (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).Compared with the baseline value at T0,the pathological scores and apoptotic rates were significantly increased at T1 4,and the ratios of Bcl-2/Bax protein and mRNA expression were increased at T1,2,while decreased at T3,4 in groups R and I/R (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Regulation of Bcl-2/Bax expression and inhibition of cell apoptosis in renal tissues are involved in the mechanism by which remifentanil reduces renal I/R injury in rats.

Objective To investigate the role of opioid receptors in remifentanil-induced attenuation of renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods Seventy-five male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n =15 each):sham operation group (group S),group I/R,remifentanil group (group R),naloxone group (group N),and naloxone + remifentanil group (group NR).Renal ischemia was induced by clamping the bilateral renal arteries for 45 min using an atraumatic clamp followed by reperfusion.In groups R and NR,remifentanil was infused at 1.0 μg· kg-1 · min-1 via the caudal vein starting from 15 min before ischemia until 30 min of reperfusion,while groups S,I/R and N received the equal volume of normal saline instead of remifentanil.In groups N and NR,naloxone 0.3 mg/kg was injected via the caudal vein at 20 min before ischemia and at 35 min after ischemia respectively,while groups S,I/R and R received the equal volume of normal saline instead of naloxone.Blood and urine samples were collected from the femoral vein and urinary bladder respectively at 24 h of reperfusion for determination of the levels of serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN),urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT).The rats were sacrificed at 24 h of reperfusion and the renal tissues were removed for determination of nalondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity.Pathological changes in renal tissues were observed with light microscope.Results Compared withgroup S,the levels of serum Cr and BUN,urinary NAG and γ-GT,and MDA were significantly increased,while the activity of SOD was significantly decreased in the other 4 groups ( P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01 ) and pathological changes in renal tissues were observed in the other 4 groups.Compared with group I/R,the levels of serum Cr and BUN,urinary NAG and γ-GT levels,and MDA were significantly decreased,while the activity of SOD was significantly increased ( P ＜ 0.01 ),and the pathological changes were reduced in group R,and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in groups N and NR ( P ＞ 0.05).The pathological changes were similar in groups I/R,N and NR.Compured with group R,serum Cr and BUN concentrations,urinary NAG and γ-GT levels and MDA concent were increased,while SOD activity were decreased ( P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01 ).Conclusion Opioid receptors mediate remifentanil-induced attenuation of renal I/R injury in rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of remifentanil on nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 1 (NOD1) mRNA expression in rats with renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury.Methods Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 220-250 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =20 each):sham operation group (S group),I/R group and remifentanil group (R group).Renal ischemia was induced by occlusion of bilateral renal arteries for 45 min followed by 24 h reperfusion in groups I/R and R.Remifentanil 1.0 μg· kg-1 · min-1 was infused until 30 min of reperfusion starting from 15 min before ischemia in group R,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in S and I/R groups.The animals were sacrificed at 15 min before ischemia and at 3,6,24 h of reperfusion and the kidneys were removed for microscopic examination and polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) count and for measurement of NOD1 mRNA expression (by RT-PCR).The apoptotic rate was determined by flow cytometry double staining method.Results Compared with group S,NOD1 mRNA expression was up-regulated,and the apoptotic rate and PMN count were significantly increased at each time point during reperfusion in group I/R,and the apoptotic rate and PMN count were significantly increased at each time point during reperfusion,and NOD1 mRNA expression was up-regulated at 6 and 24 h of reperfusion in group R (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with I/R group,NOD1 mRNA expression was down-regulated,and the apoptotic rate and PMN count were significantly decreased at each time point during reperfusion (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01),and the pathological changes were significantly attenuated in group R.Conclusion Remifentanil can reduce the renal I/R injury by down-regulating the expression of NOD1 mRNA and inhibiting inflammatory response and apoptosis.
