ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To study the effects of ginsenoside Rb 1(G-Rb1)on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)of renal tubular epithelial cells and its potential mechanism. METHODS The growth factor β1(TGF-β1)10 ng/mL was used to induce EMT of human renal tubular epithelial cells HK- 2. The morphological changes of HK- 2 cells were observed after treated with 10, 20,30 μmol/L G-Rb1 for 48 h. The transcriptional activities of biovector SBE in human embryonic kidney cell HEK 293 were determined after 24 h treatment with 1.0,2.5,5.0,10,20,30 μmol/L G-Rb1. Effects of above concentration of G-Rb 1 on the viability of HK- 2 cells were determined after 24 h of treatment. mRNA expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),collagen Ⅰ (COL-Ⅰ)and fibronectin (FN)in HK- 2 cells were detected after treated with 10,20,30 μmol/L G-Rb1 for 24 h. The expressions of α-SMA,Smad3,p-Smad3,COL-Ⅰ,FN and E-cadherin were detected after treated with 10,20,30 μmol/L G-Rb1 for 24 h. RESULTS G-Rb1 of 10-30 μmol/L significantly inhibited TGF-β1-induced EMT in HK- 2 cells and the increase of transcriptional activities of biovector SBE induced by TGF-β1(P<0.05),but had no effects on relative activities of HK- 2 cells(P>0.05). The protein and mRNA expressions of α-SMA,COL-Ⅰ and FN , the protein expressions of Smad 3 and p-Smad 3 were significantly up-regulated induced by TGF-β1(P<0.05),while the protein expression of E-cadherin was significantly down- regulated(P<0.05);G-Rb1 could effectively reverse aboveprotein or mRNA expressions. CONCLUSIONS G-Rb1 can protect renal tubular epithelial cells from EMT induced byxiezhishen TGF-β1 to a certain extent ,which may be related to inhibiting the activation of TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway.
ABSTRACT
Breathing pattern parameters refer to the characteristic pattern parameters of respiratory movements, including the breathing amplitude and cycle, chest and abdomen contribution, coordination, etc. It is of great importance to analyze the breathing pattern parameters quantificationally when exploring the pathophysiological variations of breathing and providing instructions on pulmonary rehabilitation training. Our study provided detailed method to quantify breathing pattern parameters including respiratory rate, inspiratory time, expiratory time, inspiratory time proportion, tidal volume, chest respiratory contribution ratio, thoracoabdominal phase difference and peak inspiratory flow. We also brought in "respiratory signal quality index" to deal with the quality evaluation and quantification analysis of long-term thoracic-abdominal respiratory movement signal recorded, and proposed the way of analyzing the variance of breathing pattern parameters. On this basis, we collected chest and abdomen respiratory movement signals in 23 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and 22 normal pulmonary function subjects under spontaneous state in a 15 minute-interval using portable cardio-pulmonary monitoring system. We then quantified subjects' breathing pattern parameters and variability. The results showed great difference between the COPD patients and the controls in terms of respiratory rate, inspiratory time, expiratory time, thoracoabdominal phase difference and peak inspiratory flow. COPD patients also showed greater variance of breathing pattern parameters than the controls, and unsynchronized thoracic-abdominal movements were even observed among several patients. Therefore, the quantification and analyzing method of breathing pattern parameters based on the portable cardiopulmonary parameters monitoring system might assist the diagnosis and assessment of respiratory system diseases and hopefully provide new parameters and indexes for monitoring the physical status of patients with cardiopulmonary disease.

Objective To preliminarily explore the clinical features,treatment,and outcomes of moyamoya disease in the elderly.Methods The clinical data of the elderly patients with moyamoya disease (aged > 60 years) admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery,the 307th Hospital of PLA from May 2007 to July 2016 were collected retrospectively.Their clinical features,imaging features,and surgical outcomes were analyzed.Results A total of 68 patients were enrolled,including 35 females (51.47%) and 33 males (48.53%).The ratio of male to female was 1:1.06.The age at the time of diagnosis of moyamoya disease was 62.82 ±3.08 years.Fifty-two patients (76.5%) had vascular risk factors.The most common clinical manifestation was cerebral ischemia (n =61,89.7%).Thirty of them (44.1%) presented as transient ischemic attack.The Suzuki staging of most patients was 4-6 (71.6%),12 patients (17.6%) complicated with posterior cerebral artery stenosis or occlusion.Thirty-one patients were treated with encephalo-duroarterio-synangiosis (EDAS).Among them,17 patients underwent bilateral surgery and 14 underwent unilateral surgery.The incidence of perioperative infarction or hemorrhage was 5.6% (2 patients developed cerebral infarction and 1 patient developed cerebral hemorrhage);37 patients received conservative treatment.During the follow-up period,5 patients developed cerebral infarction (1 in the surgical treatment group and 4 in the conservative treatment group);there was no significant difference between the 2 groups.There were no significant differences in age,sex,vascular risk factor,clinical symptoms,and preoperative modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores between the 2 groups.Cerebral angiography was performed 6-9 months after operation in the surgical treatment group.A total of 24 cerebral hemispheres were evaluated by Matsushima typing,of which 17 (70.8%) were excellent.During the follow-up period,the proportion of patients with clinical outcome excellent (the mRS score was 0) (Z =-5.268,P < 0.00l) and clinical improvement (the mRS score was improved ≥ 1 compared to the baseline) (Z =-3.780,P < 0.001) were significantly higher than the conservative treatment group.Conclusions The clinical symptoms of old patients with moyamoya disease were mainly cerebral ischemia.Most of them had vascular risk factors,and the imaging manifestations showed higher Suzuki staging.The perioperative risk of EDAS in the old patients with moyamoya disease was lower.It might be an effective method to prevent clinical symptoms progress and improve the outcomes.
ABSTRACT
A survey on the quality of life of diabetic patients was conducted in Shanghai Changqiao community in August 2017.Total 1 002 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)aged ≥60 years were randomly selected to participant in this face-to-face questionnaire survey,967 participants completed the survey with a effective rate of 96.5%.The Anxiety Self-Rating Scale and Diabetes-Specific Quality of Life Scale (A-DQOL) were applied for evaluation.The results showed that up to 48.9%(473/967) participants had an anxiety state.Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that the educational level was the main influencing factor of A-DQOL (P<0.05).The educational level and fasting blood glucose were the influencing factors of satisfaction degree and impacting degree score;educational level,treatment mode and BMI were the influencing factors of grade Ⅰ anxiety;age and educational level were the influencing factors of grade Ⅱ anxiety (all P<0.05).The survey demonstrates that age,educational level,treatment,fasting blood glucose and BMI would affect the quality of life of elderly T2DM patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the correlation between anterior circulation artery stenosis and lacune or lacunar infarct(LI) in elderly patients.Methods A retrospective analysis of data was performed in 111 patients with intracranial artery atherosclerosis,ischemic cerebral infarction or transient ischemic attack from January to December 2016 in our hospital.All the patients underwent non-contrast brain MRI or CT scan,as well as one-stop dynamic whole brain 4D CT angiography and CT perfusion scan(CTA-CTP/ perfusion).Imaging data were retrospectively analyzed.Intracranial 4D CTA was produced by using MIP and CPR post processing.The correlation of intracranial internal carotid artery(ICA)and middle cerebral artery (MCA)stenosis with lacunar infarct or lacune was analyzed by chi-square test using IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0 software.Results The average age of 111 patients was(68.4± 6.8)years.A total of 19 phases with 6080 images were obtained by one-stop scanning.The optimal phase of artery visualization was selected from 19 phases for evaluating artery stenosis.Intracranial ICA and/or MCA stenosis were revealed in 94 patients,including 73(65.8%)patients with LI or lacune and 21 patients(18.9%)without LI or lacune.17 patients without intracranial ICA or anterior circulation of MCA stenosis included 7 patients(6.3 %)with LI or lacune and 10 patients(9.0%)without LI or lacune.Anterior circulation vessels stenosis was positively correlated with lacunar infarction or lacune(x2 =7.794,P=0.005).94 patients with anterior circulation vessels stenosis were further divided into 2 subgroups:unilateral and bilateral stenosis.39 cases showed unilateral vessels stenosis,including 25 cases (26.6 %) with LI or lacunein,and 14 cases (14.9 %) without LI or lacunein.And 55 cases showed bilateral vessel stenosis,including 48 cases (51.1%)with LI or lacune,and 7 case (7.4 %) without LI or lacune.The risk for LI or lacunein was statistically higher in bilateral vessel stenosis than in unilateral vessel stenosis(x2 =7.061,P=0.008).Patients with anterior circulation vessels stenosis combined with LI or lacune were 73 cases,including 31 cases of grade Ⅰ,19 cases of grade Ⅱ,14 cases of grade Ⅲ,and 9 cases of grade Ⅳaccording to Trial criteria(NASCET)classification,with no significant difference between the different grades of anterior circulation vessels stenosis.Conclusions A correlation between ICA or MCA stenosis and lacunar infarction or lacune may exist.Risk for lacunar infarction or lacune is higher in patients with bilateral artery stenosis than in patients with unilateral artery stenosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the promoting effects of IL-7 and IL-2 on CD4+CD25-T cells proliferation in vitro and construct a stable culture system in vitro for CD 4+CD25+regulatory T cells from human umbilical cord blood.To compare the inhibiting effects between induced proliferated CD 4+CD25+Tregs and naturally isolated CD 4+CD25+Tregs on PBMCs functional activity.Methods:CD4+CD25-T cells and CD4+CD25+T cells were isolated from human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells by magnetic activated cell sorting ( MACS) system and then expanded in vitro.Four different concentration levels of IL-7 combined with proper concentration of IL-2 were added as inducer and the efficiency and optimal concentration of IL-7 on inducing,CD4+CD25-T cells were analyzed via 4 different methods.Flow cytometry method was used to detect the changes of CD 4+CD25-T cells.The inhibitory effect of expanded CD 4+CD25+T cells on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was tested by MTS.The expressions of Foxp3,IL-10 and TGF-βgenes in CD4+CD25+T cells were test by RT-PCR.Results:The CD4+CD25+T cells from each groups were expanded significantly after three weeks of culture.The results indicated that use of IL-7 combined with IL-2 resulted in the highest cell expansion comparing to the other groups.It was shown by the inhibitory test that the expanded CD 4+CD25+regulatory T cells could inhibit the proliferation of PBMCs ,but IL-7 induced CD4+CD25+regulatory T cells exerted weaker suppressor activity than natural regulatory T cells .Only IL-7 (4 ng/ml) and IL-2 (2 000 U/ml) induced CD4+CD25+regulatory T cells showed the strongest killing activity.Conclusion:We successfully expand CD4+CD25+regulatory T cells in vitro.The protocol is established in which the use of mAbCD 3/CD28 combined with IL-7 and IL-2 resulted in the highest cell expansion ,and intensely expressed cell phenotype of CD 4 and CD25.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (A-FABP) and lower limb vascular disease (LLVD) in the elderly with type 2 diabetes(T2DM).Methods Bilateral lower limb vessels were checked by the High Resolution Color Doppler in all the subjects,including 40 healthy subjects as control (group A),126 T2DM patients.42 T2DM patients had no LLVD (group B),40 had mild LLVD (group C),and 44 had severe LLVD (group D).The levels of plasma A-FABP,blood glucose,lipid profiles,HOMA-IR,hypersensitive C reactive protein (hs CRP),and e-glomerular filtration rate were determined.Results The levels of plasma A-FABP were in the following ascending order of group A(4.5± 1.7)μg/L<group B(6.1±2.1)μg/L<group C (7.2 ± 2.3)μg/L < group D (8.4 ± 3.2)μg/L (P< 0.01).A-FABP levels elevated along with the decrease of ABI and the increase of L IMT.Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that A FABP levels was main influencing factor of lower limb vascular disease (LLVD) in the elderly with type 2 diabetes.LDL C,HbA1c,HOMR-IR,hs-CRP were the predictive factors for the plasma A-FABP levels in the elderly with T2DM after multiple stepwise regression analysis.Conclusions For elder T2DM patients,the level of plasma A FABP is correlated with the degree of LLVD,and plays an important role in the progress of LLVD.
ABSTRACT
Objective To use Q value method to assess the effect of combination therapy with vitamin E and vitamin C for idiopathic asthenospermia. Methods 76 patients diagnosed as idiopathic asthenospermia by computer-assisted semen analysis according to the WHO criteria were selected at the andrology clinic from August 2012 to November 2013. Malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration was measured by using thiobarbituric acid (TBA) assay. The patients were randomly divided into three groups. Vit C group received vitamin C 200 mg thrice daily, vit E group received vitamin E 100 mg thrice daily , and the combination group received vitamins E and C for 12 weeks. Repeat semen analysis and MDA measurement were conducted after treatment, and the Q value which evaluated whether a synergistic interaction existed was calculated. Results MDA concentration decreased in all the groups, with the lowest concentration in the combination group. While all the groups achieved improvement in term of progressive motility , with the combination group presented far more better than the other two groups , exhibiting a synergistic interaction, with a Q value of 1.18. Conclusion Combination therapy with vitamin E and vitamin C has a marked internal synergistic effect on antioxidation in the treatment of idiopathic asthenospermia.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the inhibitory role of spermatogenesis-associated gene 12 (SPATA12) on tumor cell proliferation and its possible mechanism.@*METHODS@#The expression pattern of SPATA12 in testicular tumors was investigated by in situ hybridization analysis using tissue microarrays. The effects of SPATA12 on tumor cell proliferation and colony formation was detected by 3-(4.5-dimethylthiazol-2- yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and colonyforming assays, respectively. The changes of expression level of cell cycle genes in tumor cells were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RTPCR).@*RESULTS@#In situ hybridization analysis showed that the SPATA12 was highly expressed in normal adult testis, but lacking in testicular tumors such as seminoma. MTT assay and colony-forming assay indicated that the exogenous expression of SPATA12 could suppress both tumor cell proliferation and colony formation. RT-PCR showed that the expression of cyclin A1 gene was markedly suppressed and the level of cyclin D1 was somewhat reduced following SPATA12 transfection. However, no obvious changes were observed in mRNA expression of cyclin B1 or cyclin E1 after SPATA12 transfection.@*CONCLUSION@#SPATA12 could be an inhibitor during the development of tumor via regulation of cell cycle genes.

Objective To assess the effect of vitamin D insufficiency on the quality of life in the elderly.Methods A total of 205 cases in health examination center of our hospital were randomly divided into elderly group (aged ≥ 60 years) and middle-aged g roup (aged 45-60 years).The SF-36 Form was adopted to investigate status of body and mental health.Serum 25 (OH)D3 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Serum 25 (OH) Ds ≤ 49.9 nmol/L was defined as vitamin D insufficiency. ResultsThere were 55 cases (53.9%) with vitamin D insufficiency and 16 cases (15.7%) vitamin D sufficiency in the elderly.The scores of vitamin D insufficiency group in the elderly were lower than of vitamin D threshold and sufficiency groups in fourdimensions,including physical function,physical role,body pain and general health.The scores ofvitamin D insufficiency group in the elderly were also lower than of vitamin D threshold and sufficiency groups in three dimensions,including social functioning,vitality and mental health (F=10.28,9.20,6.60,all P<0.05).Serum 25(OH)D3 played more important role in scores of the quality of life in the elderly than other factors by stepwise multiple linear regression. ConclusionsThe vitamin D insufficient status widely exists in the elderly,and it might influence their quality of life.
ABSTRACT
Objective The study was to investigate the relationship among angiotensin 1-converting enzyme(ACE), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1)gene polymorphisms and the common carotid artery (CCA-IMT), and the predicting effects of them on CCA-IMT in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Methods The polymorphisms of ACE (I/D) gene and PAI-I (4G/5G) gene were deter-mined by polymemse chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR) method in 308 cases with T2DM. CCA-IMT was compared among the groups with different genotypes of ACE and PAI-1. The in-dependent or synergistic effects of the ACE I/D and PAI-1 40/5G polymorphisms on CCA-IMT in 308 patients with T2DM were analyzed with multivariate linear regression. Then the 156 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics (durations< I year) without AS received the maltifactorial targeted intervention, including taking aspirin and controlling blood glucose, blood pressure, blood lipid and body weight. The differences of metabolic control, ACE (I/D) and PAId (40/5G) gene polymorphisms were analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the eorrelation among the CCA-IMT, ACE (I/D) and PAI-1 (4G/5G) polymorphisms. Results Patients with ACE DD genotypes had higher CCA-IMT than those with ACE-Ⅱ or ACE ID genotypes. Patients with both ACE DD and PAI-1 404G genotypes had a higher CCA-IMT than those with any other pairs of genotypes. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that ACE DD and PAI-1 4G4G gene polymorphisms had synergistic effect on the CCA-IMT in T2DM patients. After 2 years multifactorial intervention, the frequencies of PAI-1 4G alleles and 404G genotypas were lower than those in the CCA-IMT non-inereasing group. Conclusions These findings indicate that the ACE-DD geno-type and its synergistic effects with the PAI-1 4G/4G genotype are independent risk factors for the CCA-IMT in T2DM patients. Under multi-factorial intervention for 2 years, PAI-1 4G/4G genotype may be a negative predictor for the progression of CCA-IMT in T2DM patients.
ABSTRACT
A review of cell traction forces (CTFs) measurement based on Biological MiCro Electromechanical Systems (BioMEMS) microposts matrix is presented.CTFs are exerted by cells and ansmitted to the underly-ing substrate through focal adhesions and close contacts.which is essential for cells movement.Cells probe the mechanicaI compliance of the exlracellular mabix (ECM) in part by locally deforming it with nanonewton-scale traction forces.Precision measurement of CTFs is significant for many researches such as call biology and tissue engineering and so on.Enabled by the advancement in BioMEMS technology,surface treated high aspeect ratio Polydimethyisiloxane(PDMS)micropos matrix devices,which serve as BioMEMS sensom for de-tecting cellular nanoforces and studying in vitro cell mechanics,have been developed.Closely spaced vartical microposts matrixes were designed to encourage cells to attach and spread across multiple microposts,and to bend the microposts like vertical cantilevers as the cells locomote on the surface.Using this dense and dis-crete matrix of microposts rather than a convanfional continuous substrate,CTFs can be directly measured and quantified by processing the microscopy images of the deformations of microposts.The resolution of the force was in tens of nN/μm scale.At first,the conventional CTFs measurement methods were concisely summa-rized.Then BioMEMS microposts matrix method was described in detail,including principle and fabfication process,Surface treatment and cell expedment results.Furthermore,high aspect ratio structure collapse prob-lem was investigated.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the role of polymorphisms of scavenger receptor class B gene CD36 in affecting the progress of subclinical atherosclerosis (AS) and the associated factors affecting the expression of CD36 on the surface of peripheral blood monouclear cells (PBMC) and the association between CD36 expression and progress of subclinical AS in type 2 diabetic patients.Methods CD36 polymorphisms (CD36-rs1984112, CD36-T620C) were typed by PCR-RFLP in 470 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus and 220 non-diabetic controls of Hans in Hunan area.The genotypes and allele frequencies were compared between cases and controls.Fluorescence intensity of CD36 on the surface of PBMC was analyzed in 102 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus by flow cytometry and was compared between the patients without AS and the patients with subclinical AS.Multiple linear regression was applied to evaluate the relevant factors contributing to CD36 expression.Results The genotypes and allele frequencies of CD36-rs1984112 in type 2 diabetes mellitus were not significantly different between cases and controls (P>0.05), either did CD36-T620C (P>0.05).The mean florescence intensity (MFI) of CD36 in type 2 diabetics with subclinical AS was higher than that without AS (1 382±659 vs 1 173±340, P<0.05).Factors affecting the CD36 expression were: age (P=0.005), gender (P=0.021), systolic blood pressure (SBP) (P=0.027), standardized coefficients Beta was 0.28, 0.31 and -0.21, respectively.Age contributed to the CD36 expression level in males (P=0.002) and diastolic blood pressure in females (P=0.001) respectively.Conclusion CD36-rs1984112 and T620C seem not to be a functional polymorphism sites in Hans of Hunan, southern China.CD36 expression level is higher in type 2 diabetics with subclinical AS in contrast with those without AS.CD36 expression on PBMC surface is higher in aged males with lower SBP.
