Objective:To investigate the clinical diagnostic value of joint test of retinol-binding protein (RBP), cystatin C (CYSC) and urinary (albumin/creatinine ratio, ALB/Cr) ALB/Cr in early diabetes nephropathy.Methods:Data of 50 early diabetic nephropathy patients (EDN group) from Jan. 2020 to Jun. 2021 in our hospital, another 50 pure type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM group), and 50 healthy subjects (control group) were compared and analysed. RBP, CYSC and urinary ALB/Cr were tested for the 3 groups. Then the clinical diagnostic value between single index test and joint test for the early diabetes nephropathy were compared.Results:Group EDN had higher RBP, CYSC and urinary ALB/Cr [ (114.66±0.56) mg/L, (2.64±0.33) mg/L, (351.81±15.48) ] mg/g than group T2DM [ (83.58±0.83) mg/L, (1.41±0.29) mg/L, (113.65±12.55) mg/g] and control group[ (38.61±0.66) mg/L, (0.53±0.26) mg/L, (16.36±5.61) mg/g]. The difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The specificity and sensitivity of early diabetes nephropathy were 95.38% and 96.21%, both higher than single index test. Conclusion:The combined detection of serum RBP, CYSC and urine ALB/Cr has certain reference value for the clinical diagnosis of early diabetic nephropathy.

Objective This study aims to evaluate the changes of Cdk5 expression at the time of 3 hours to 10 days after moderate brain injury by blunt force impact in a rat model,and to demonstrate its forensic significance.Methods To establish a rat model of blunt focal brain contusion,and to observe the changes of Cdk5 expression in brain tissue at different timepoints after brain injury by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.Results A low expression level of Cdk5 was observed in the brain tissue of both normal and sham control groups.The expression of Cdk5 increased after 3 and 6 hours,remarkably increased at 12 hours,and reached the maximal level at 24 hours after focal brain injury.The Cdk5 level gradually decreased 3 days,5 days,7 days,and 10 days and reached the normal level 7 and 10 days after the injury,with no statistical difference (P＞0.05) compared with the normal and sham control groups.Conclusion The expression of Cdk5 increased in the peripheral area of contusion tissue after blunt brain injury in rats,showing single peak change,and dropped to normal level with the time extension.The change of Cdk5 expression may provide a new reference index for the prediction of early brain contusion.

Objective To research the immuno-protection of SJIR-2 DNA vaccine with nanometer microspheres a-gainst Schistosoma japonicum infection in mice. Methods To construct eukaryotic expression plasmid pEGFP-SJIR-2, identified by double digestion and sequenced delivery. The recombinant plasmid pEGFP-SJIR-2 was ex-tracted and was encapsulated into PLGA nanometer microspheres which were modified by CHS. 40 female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10), each group of mice were injected with PBS, empty pEGFP plasmid, CHS-PLGA nanometer microspheres and CHS-PLGA-pEGFP-SJIR-2 nanometer microspheres 100 μg, re-spectively. Two weeks after the last immunization, each mouse was infected by cercaria of Schistosoma japonicum, sera of mice in each group were collected before each immunization and challenge infection. ELISA was used to de-tect the change of IgG in each group of micesera. 42 days later, all mice were sacrificed. The adult worms and eggs were collected and counted, and the worm and egg reduction rates were calculated as well. Results The recombi-nant plasmid pEGFP-SJIR-2 was successfully constucted, and there was significant difference in the numbers of worm and egg between CHS-PLGA-pEGFP-SJIR-2 group and PBS group ( P<0. 01 ) . The worm andegg reduction rates in CHS-PLGA-pEGFP-SJIR-2 group were 37. 36% and 46. 82% respectively. The IgG levels in mice sera of CHS-PLGA-pEGFP-SJIR-2 group were remarkably higher (P<0. 01) compared with PBS group. On the contrary, there was no significant difference between both pEGFP plasmid group and CHS-PLGA group in the numbers of worm and egg compared with PBS group. Conclusion SJIR-2 nanometer microspheres nucleic acid vaccine has some immuno-protection against Schistosoma japonicum infection in BALB/c mice,while it is worth further studying for it’ s potential value to be a candidate antigen molecule of Schistosoma japonicum vaccine.

Objective To study the expression of p35 and p25 in rat after focal cerebral contusion and to provide experimental data for estimating brain injury time. Methods Fifty adult male SD rats were randomly divided into 0 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 3 d, 5 d, 7 d, 10 d after focal cerebral contusion, control and sham-operated groups (5 rats each group). The focal cerebral contusion rat model was established. The expression of p35 and p25 protein of the damage peripheral zone in brain were detected by HEstain-ing, immunohistochemistry and western blotting at different injury time. Results Alarge number of p35 protein and a small amount of p25 protein were expressed in control group and sham-operated group. After focal cerebral contusion, p35 presented unimodal change with time and p25 presented bimodal changes with time. Conclusion Expression of p35 and p25 showed different regularity with good time correlation, which could help to estimate the brain injury time.
