ABSTRACT
Objective:Renal involvement in primary Sjogren′s syndrome (pSS) has been considered rare, and recent studies have shown that there was a large difference in the prevalence of the disease, which has been reported to range from 0.03% to 67%. The meta-analysis was to determine the prevalence of renal involvement in pSS patients.Methods:The study on pSS renal involvement was conducted in Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane Library from January 2002 to May 2019. After logarithmic conversion of the prevalence rate, meta-analysis of random effect model was carried out to explore the prevalence of pSS renal involvement. Subgroup analysis and meta regression analysis were used to explore the source of heterogeneity. We also performed sensitivity analysis and assessments of publication bias by Begger′s test.Results:The meta-analysis included eighteen observational studies of 8 888 participants. The result in random effects model showed that the combined prevalence was 9.0% (95% CI: 6.0%-12.0%), with significant heterogeneity between these studies ( I2=97%, P<0.01). The source of heterogeneity was explained by a stratified analysis of region, type of study, and the diagnostic criteria for renal involvement. Sensitivity analysis showed that the result was robust and Begger′s test did not detect the presence of publication bias. Conclusions:The prevalence of renal involvement in pSS is 9.0%. Due to huge heterogeneity, large multicenter prospective studies will be needed to determine its prevalence and the relationship between pSS and kidney.
ABSTRACT
Endothelial dysfunction was closely related with AS , NO bioavailability ( production and utilization of endothelial NO ) was decreased by oxidative stress , lipid infiltration , inflammatory factor expression , vascular tone alteration and so on , which play an important role in endothelial dysfunction .Enhanced arginine , activityand asym-metric dimethylarginine together with increased hyperhomocysteinemia all promote AS by intervening NO bioavail -ability.Diabetes mellitus, obesity, chronic kidney disease , smoking and so on also involved in AS via influencing NO bioavailability and NO level .
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the rule of the Nrf2-ARE in renal interstitial fibrosis and the mechanism of butylphthalide on renal protective effect.Methods Seventy-two male CD-1 mice were divided into 4 groups,Sham group,UUO group,NBP group,ACEI group.The Sham group and UUO group were gavaged with physiological saline.The NBP group was gavaged with butylphthalide.The ACEI group was gavaged with benazepril.After 3,7,14 days,6 mice were executed and collection of kidney tissue.The expression of Nrf2,γ-GCS and type Ⅰ collagen were detected by immunohistochemisty,RT-PCR and Western blot.The correlation of Nrf2 and γ-GCS was assessmented by linear regression.Results The expression of type Ⅰ collagen in UUO group was increased compared with the Sham group,However,the expression of Type Ⅰ collagen in NBP group or ACEI group were reduced compared with the UUO group.Compared with Sham group,the expression of Nrf2mRNA,γ-GCSmRNA and type Ⅰ collagen mRNA in uuogroup were increased in 3,7,14 days after surgery.Compared with UUO group at 7th,14u day,the lelve of Nrf2 mRNA were apparently increased in NBP group (P＜0.05).It was a positive correlation between the Nrf2 and γ-GCS and negative correlation between the γ-GCS and Type Ⅰ collagen.Conclusion The renal protective effect of butylphthalide in the renal interstitial fibrosis was more predominant than benazepril.The roles maybe occurred through increased the expression of Nrf2 and γ-GCS and alleviated the expression of Type Ⅰ collagen in nephridial tissue.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the influence of intravenous injection of dezocine and fentanyl under general anesthesia on analepsia and analgesia after children appendectomy.Methods 86 children needed peritoneoscope appendectomy were enrolled in the study.All patients were randomized into two groups.The patients in group A were given intravenous injection of dezocine at half an hour before the end of the operation.The patients in group B were given intravenous injection of fentanyl before the end of the operation.The operation length,the postoperative catheter removal time and the heart rate,respiratory rate,mean arterial pressure,blood pressure saturability at the time of stopping using narcotic (T1),the time of catheter removal (T2),10min after catheter removal (T3) of the two groups were observed and recorded.At half an hour after catheter removal,Riker sedation-agitation scale and FLACC of two groups were estimated.Results The heart rate[(112.47±8.06)beats/min,(111.29±9.03)beats/min] and mean arterial pressure[(69.49±7.33)mmHg,(68.72±6.93)mmHg] of group A at T2,T3 were significantly lower than those of group B[heart rate: (126.98±7.24)beats/min,(131.54±8.62)beats/min and mean arterial pressure: (76.81±5.18)mmHg,(72.05±3.76)mmHg, heart rate tT2=3.294,tT3=5.018;mean arterial pressure tT2=4.029,tT3=2.287,all P<0.05].Besides,the FLACC score[(3.62±0.73)points] and Riker score[(2.93±0.75)points] of group A at half an hour after catheter removal were significantly lower than those of group B[(5.06±0.92)points,(3.96±1.17)points,tFLACC=6.390,tRiker=2.119,all P<0.05].Conclusion Intravenous injection of properdezocine at half an hour before the end of the operation has good postoperative analgesia effect for children appendectomy and children wake up in a more stable state,and the occurrence rate of postoperative analgesia and adverse reaction is low, so it has less influence on cardiovascular reaction and is applicable for clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the impact of different doses of butylphthalide on renal interstitial fibrosis in mice with obstructive nephropathy, and to discuss the correlation between Nrf-2 expression level and renal interstitial fibrosis. Methods Totally 72 male CD-1 mice of clean grade were selected and randomly assigned into 4 groups:sham operation group (Sham), model group (UUO), low dose of butylphthalide group (NBPL) and high dose of butylphthalide group (NBPH). In addition to the control group, UUO model was established in other three groups. NBPL group was given NBP 150 mg/(kg· d) by gavage since postoperative day 1,NBPH group was given NBP 220 mg/(kg·d) by gavage. Sham group and UUO group were given equal volume of saline by gavage. Six mice were sacrificed at the third, 7th, 14th day, respectively. The obstructive renal tissue was selected for immunohistochemical staining and Western blot assay. The expression levels of Nrf- 2 and type Ⅰ collagen were detected by Western blot assay. Results The IOD value of type Ⅰ collagen was increased with time in UUO group, and which showed a gradual decreasing trend in Sham group, NBPL group and NBPH group (P<0.05). The IOD values at different time points were significantly higher in UUO group, NBPL group and NBPH group compared to those of Sham group. The IOD values were significantly decreased in NBPL and NBPH groups than that of UUO group, and IOD value was lower in NBPH group than that of NBPL group (P<0.05). Western blot assay showed that IOD values of Nrf-2 and type Ⅰ collagen at 7 d and 14 d were increased in UUO group, NBPL group and NBPH group compared with those of Sham group. The IOD values of Nrf-2 protein were increased, and IOD values of type Ⅰcollagen were decreased, in NBPL group and NBPH group than those of UUO group. The IOD value of Nrf-2 protein was decreased in NBPL group than that of NBPH group, but the IOD value of type Ⅰcollagen was increased in NBPL group than that of NBPH group (P<0.05). Conclusion NBP can improve renal interstitial fibrosis in UUO mice, which may be related with the increased expression of Nrf-2 and the down-regulated expression of type I collagen.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study on the possible mechanism of butylphthalide delaying renal fibrosis of mice with obstructive nephropathy. Methods Totally 72 male CD-1 mice of clean grade were selected and randomly assigned into 4 groups: sham operation group (Sham), model group (UUO), control group (ACEI) and treatment group (NBP). The mice in the control group (ACEI) and the treatment group (NBP) were given benazepril and butylphthalide by gavage, and the mice in sham operation group (Sham) and model group (UUO) were given normal saline by gavage. Six mice were sacrificed at the third, 7th, 14th day, respectively. The obstructive renal tissue was selected for immunohistochemical staining and western blot. Results (1)With the longer time of ureteral obstruction, the expression of Nrf-2 was gradually strengthened in time-dependent manner;(2)Compared with the model group, the levels of Nrf-2 and γ-GCS in butylphthalide group were significantly increased, and the expression of type Ⅰ collagen was decreased significantly (P < 0.05). The expression of Nrf-2 and γ-GCS in each time points was stronger than that in the benazepril group (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that: there was a positive correlation between Nrf-2 and γ-GCS (r = 0.930) and a negative correlation between Nrf-2 and the expression level of type Ⅰ collagen(r = -0.859). Conclusion Butylphthalide can relieve renal interstitial injury caused by oxidative stress and delay the progress of renal interstitial fibrosis by activation of Nrf-2 pathway and up-regulated expression ofγ-GCS.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the predictive accuracy of the SurgiCase CMF software in surgical simulation and prediction for mandibular asymmetry with 3-dimensional simulation and measurement.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>CBCT data of 27 patients with mandibular asymmetry were observed in CMF, and postoperative soft tissue physiognomy were predicted by simulating sagittal ramus osteotomy with or without genioplasty. The measurement parameters representing the symmetry of soft tissue were selected and the horizontal, coronal and sagittal planes were established. The results were analyzed by SPSS 19. 0. The overlap compared color grading charts were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Angles between cheilions and the horizonta plane (Ch-Ch-FH) in the simulation and postoperative soft tissues are (2. 35 ± 1. 81)° and (1. 44 ± 1. 13)°. The angles constructed among subnasale, upper lip and lower lip (Sn-UL-LL) are (4. 02 ± 3. 05)° and (2. 59 ± 1. 64)°, showing statistically different (P < 0. 01, P < 0. 05), which means that predictive accuracy of the lip canting and lip vertical deviation is relatively low. Distance between gonioi and sagittal plane (Go'-MS), distance between gonion and pogonion (Go'-Pog') and angle betweer subnasale to menton and the horizontal plane (Sn-Me'-MS) are not statistically different, which mean! high predictive accuracy of mandibular angle and chin. By observing the overlap compared color gradin-) charts, the predictive accuracy is not good in the cheek, especially in the deviate side.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The predictive accuracy of CMF system for patients with mandibular asymmetry is relatively high, but it is not good in the lip and cheek.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of benazepril on intergrin-linked kinase (ILK) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression in glomerular mesangial cells induced by high-glucose.Methods The mesangial cells from SD rat (HBZY-1) were cultured conventionally and randomly divided into four groups:normal glucose (D-glucose 5.5 mmol/L,group NG),mannitol-treated group (mannitol 20 mmol/L,group MG),high glucose (D-glucose 30 mmol/L,group HG),Benazepril-treated high glucose group (D-glucose 30 mmol/L + Benazepril 10 μmol/L,group ACEI).Cells from NG,MG,HG,ACEI gronps were harvested after 3,6,12,24,48 and 72 hours of treatment respectively.The mRNA expressions of ILK and α-SMA were detected by RT-PCR.The protein levels of ILK and α-SMA were detected by Western blotting and immunofluorescence.Results The expressions of ILK mRNA and protein in HG group were significantly increased compared with those in NG group (all P ＜ 0.05).The increased expressions of ILK and α-SMA in HG group were time-dependent and the expression reached the peak at 48 h (ILK,P ＜ 0.05) or 72 h (α-SMA,P ＜ 0.01).The expressions of ILK and α-SMA in ACEI group were lower than those in HG group (all P ＜ 0.01),but failed to rescue to the same level as those in NG.There was no significant differences of ILK expressions between MG group and NG group at the same time point (P ＞ 0.05).The expressions of α-SMA mRNA and protein in MG were higher than that in NG (P ＜ 0.05),which suggest that high osmotic pressure could cause the increasing of α-SMA.Conclusions Benazepril can decrease the expressions of ILK and α-SMA to inhibit the process of fibrosis in DN and mediate the phenotypic transformation of glomerular mesangial cells.The phenotypic transformation of glomerular mesangial cells in glucose may also depend on high osmotic pressure in DN.

ABSTRACT
22 cases of chronic gastritis,8 cases of gastric cancer,and 3 cases of other gastric diseases.10 hea'thy adults were also studied to serve as the control.According to the diagnostic criteria of Chinese traditional medicine ,58 cases with epigastric pains out of the 80 were categorized into the group of spleno-gastric asthenia (SGA) of 35 cases and the group of hepatogastric incoordinatin (HGI) of 23 cases.The basal pressure and rhythmic contractions of the stomach in response to a definite volume loading were recorded.It was found that 60% of SGA cases and 56.8% of PU cases showed only a few low-amplitude or no contractions in response to all varieties of volume loading,which were significantly higher than that in HGI cases (26%) and the control (10%).In the interval between the contractions and relaxations of the proximal stomach the intra-gasrric pressure was significantly lower in SGA and PU cases than in HGI cases and the control.These findings indicate that the tension and contractility of the mesculature of the proximal stomach are markedly reduced in patients with PU and SGA.
