Objective To evaluate the effects of Cu2+ and Cd2+ at different concentrations on superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) activity in Oncomelania hupensis. Methods Cu2+- and Cd2+-containing solutions were prepared at 7 concentrations, and O. hupensis snails were exposed to the solutions for 24 h, of 15 snails in each concentration. Then, the snail body was collected following removal of the snail shell and homogenated, and the SOD, CAT and POS activities were detected in the supernatants. Results With the increase of the Cu2+ concentration, the SOD activity appeared a rise followed by a reduction in O. hupensis snails, and the CTA activity appeared a decline-rise-decline tendency, while the POD activity showed a tendency towards rise followed by decline. With the increase of the Cd2+ concentration, the SOD activity appeared a rise followed by a reduction in O. hupensis snails, and the CTA activity appeared a decline- rise- decline tendency, while the POD activity showed a decline-rise-decline tendency. Conclusion Exposure to Cu2+ and Cd2+ at high concentrations results in a decline in the activity of SOD, CAT and POD in O. hupensis at the same time.

Objective To observe the effects of salvianolate on blood biochemical indexes, pathological changes of renal tissue and expression of CD2AP and Desmin protein in membranous nephropathy rats induced by cationic bovine serum albumin. And to explore the renal protective effect of salvianolate on membranous nephropathy rats and its possible mechanism. Methods Healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group and modle group. Rat models of membranous nephropathy were reproduced by injection of cationized bovine serum albumin through tail vein. Model successful rats were randomly divided into model group, benazepril group, and salvianolate groups (16.7, 33.3, and 66.7 mg/kg). Each group was given the dose of the corresponding drugs. After treatment, the level of 24 h urine total protein (UTP), serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), urea nitrogen (BUN), and serum creatinine (Scr) were detected. Immunofluorescence, light microscope, and electron microscope were used to observe the pathological changes of rat kidney. Immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR were used to detect the expression of CD2AP and Desmin. Results Compared with the control group, levels of UTP, TC, and TG increased significantly (P < 0.01), levels of serum TP and ALB decreased significantly (P < 0.01) in the model group. Compared with the model group, the UTP, TC, and TG of each treatment group were significantly decreased (P < 0.05, 0.01), while the TP and ALB were significantly increased (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in the UTP, TC, TG, TP, and ALB among each dosage of salvianolate and benazepril group. And there was no significant difference among each dose group of salvianolate. There was no significant difference among each groups in the level of BUN and Scr. Compared with the normal group, the expression of CD2AP in model group was significantly decreased and Desmin was significantly increased (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression of CD2AP increased and Desmin decreased in each treatment group (P < 0.01), but there was no difference among the treatment groups. Conclusion Salvianolate has kidney protective effect on membranous nephropathy rats. The mechanism may be related to up-regulating the expression of CD2AP, down-regulating the expression of Desmin, inhibiting podocyte injury and protecting the integrity of the glomerular filtration barrier.
Résumé
A novel electrochemiluminescence ( ECL) method for the determination of L-cysteine ( L-Cys) was established. water-soluble CdS quantum dots ( QDs) with Cd2+rich surface were synthesized via a controllable one-poe approach. The mercapto group in L-cysteine molecule can specifically interact with excessive Cd2+on the surface of CdS QDs, resulting in enhancement of ECL intensity of the CdS QDs, which can be used for the detection of L-Cys. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the enhancement of ECL intensity was linear with the concentration of L-Cys in the range of 5. 0×10-9-1. 0×10-5 mol/L. The limit detection of (S/N=3) was 1. 2×10-9 mol/L. In comparison with other methods for detecting L-Cys, this method is more simple and selective, and can be applied to detect L-Cys in real sample with satisfactory results.

Mutations in CD2AP, mapped to 6pL2. 3 and encoding CD2 - associated protein ( CD2AP), are responsible for autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant steroid - resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS). CD2AP plays a key role in the slitdiaphragm network of the kidney, which is necessary for the structure and ultrafiltration functions of the slitdiaphragm. The CD2AP homozygous mutation results in early - onset SRNS while heterozygous expression of the CD2AP mutation has increased susceptibility to glomerular injury.No recurrence of proteinuria was observed in the patient with SRNS with CD2AP homozygousmutationafter the renal transplantation. Therefore, detection of the CD2AP gene in the patients suffering from SRNS will be beneficial to making therapeutic decisions and predicting prognoses.

Objective To study the immunophenotypic feature of CD+2 adult B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (CD+2 B-ALL) and provide evidences for the diagnosis, therapy and prognosis. Methods The immunophenotypes of 18 cases of adult CD+2 B-ALL and 68 cases of adult CD-2 B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(CD-2 B-ALL) were assayed by a panel of monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) with FACS. Results The age of CD+2 B-ALL adults was younger compared to that of CD-2 B-ALL. The patients in the CD; group were similar to CD-2 group for the expression of most of the cell surface antigens assayed. However, it was notable that expression frequencies of CD10 [(73.78±26.67) %] in CD+2 B-ALL was higher than those in CD; B-ALL [(52.84±35.25) %] (t = 2.35, P0.05). The CD20 expression in CD+2 B-ALL was lower than that in CD-2 B-ALL significantly (χ2 = 11.38, P <0.05). The myeloid antigen (CD13 or CD33) expression in CD+2 B-ALL 44.4 % (8/18) was lower than that in CD-2 B-ALL 72.1 %(49/68) (χ2 = 4.86, P <0.05). Conclusion Patients in the CD+2 B-ALL were similar to CD-2 B-ALL for expression of most of the cell surface antigens assayed. CD+2 B-ALL showed low expression frequency of myeloid antigens (CD13, CD33) and CD20 antigens than CD-2 B-ALL. These results suggested that those with the CD+2 B-ALL immunophenotype generally presented with favorable prognostic features and usually could achieve good outcomes after treatment.

Las dermatosis ocupacionales en trabajadores de fotografía son poco frecuentes en la actualidad. Los alergenos habituales son los reveladores de color CD-2, CD-3 y CD-4. Dichos productos pueden producir erupciones liquenoides y eczematosas. El caso que presentamos es el de un paciente varón de 35 años, trabajador de una empresa de revelados de fotografía desde hacía dos años. En el momento de la consulta presentaba lesiones eczematosas que afectaban mano derecha y ambos miembros superiores con intenso prurito. Se realizaron pruebas epicutáneas, con batería estándar del Grupo Español Internacional de Dermatitis de Contacto (GEIDC) y específica para fotografía, observándose resultados muy positivos para los reveladores de color CD-2, CD-3, CD-4 y TSS (4-amino-N, N-dietilalinina sulfato), así como moderado para hidroxilamonio. El tratamiento consistió en corticoides por vía oral y tópica, así como el cese de la actividad laboral relacionada con el contacto con dichas sustancias, lo que permitió la resolución completa de las lesiones cutáneas sin recidiva.
Occupational dermatitis in photography workers are quite rare nowadays. Common allergens are colour developers CD-2, CD-3 and CD-4. These products can cause lichenoid and eczematous eruptions. We present the case of a 35 year old male patient, who had been working in a photography development company for two years. At the time of the consult the patient presented eczemaous lesions involving the right hand and both arms with intense itching. Epicutaneous patch tests were performed with standard battery from the Spanish Group International Contact Dermatitis (GEIDC) and specifi c battery for photography, showing intense positive results for colour developers CD-2, CD-3, CD-4 and TSS (4-amino-N, N-dietilalinina sulfate), as well as moderate positive result to hydroxyl ammonia. Treatment consisted of oral and topic corticotherapy and the cessation of any work related to the contact with these substances, which allowed complete resolution of skin lesions without recurrence.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of chimeric anti-CD2 monoclonal antibody (basiliximab) on acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients following aliogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods Thirty-six patients who were suffered from acute GVHD from March 2005 to July 2007 were studied. All of them were treated with steroid first and got no response, then began basiliximab therapy. Results Thirty of 36 patients showed response to basiliximab therapy including 25 complete responses and 5 partial responses. The efficacy was associated with the degree of GVHD and the source of donor. Conclusion Patients suffered from steroid-resistant acute GVHD can be successfully treated with basiliximab.

Objective To study the effects of CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) on podocyte adhesion and extension ability and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods Conditionally immortalized murine podocyte cell line was cultured in RPMI 1640 medium at 33℃permissive conditions. The podocytes were transfected with CD2AP small interfering RNA (siRNA) and serambing sequences labeled with fluorescein were taken as control. The transfected podocytes were trypsinized and seed into collagen IV coated plates. The relative cell adhesion and cell area were examined 90 min later. Apoptotic rates of CD2AP siRNA transfected podoeytes and different PAN concentrations incubated podoeytes were detected by flow cytometer. The distribution of F-actin was observed under laser scanning confoeal microscope. Nephrin protein expression and its phosphorylation level were examined by immunofluorescence and Western blot. Results The relative ceil adhesion of CD2AP siRNA transfected podocytes was apparently lower than that of control group[(41.72±6.07)% vs (64.46±8.53)%, P<0.05]. The cell area analysis had the similar result. The apoptotic rate of CD2AP siRNA transfected podocytes was significantly higher than that of the controls [(5.73±0.61)% vs (3.26±0.45)%, P<0.05]. 100 mg/L PAN could markedly induce podocytes to apoptosis and impair cell adhesion ability (P<0.05). Nevertheless, no significant difference was found in cell body spreading (P>0.05). The distribution of F-actin in CD2AP depletion podocytes was apparently altered. The expression of nephrin protein and its phosphorylation level was conspicuously descended to some degree (P<0.05). Conclusions CD2AP depletion facilitates podocyte apoptosis and impairs cell adhesion function. Cytoskeleton confusion and nephrin signaling weakness caused by CD2AP depletion may he partly responsible for the decline of cell adhesion and spreading.
