ObjectiveTo systematically review the value of autoantibodies to serum M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) in predicting spontaneous and therapeutic remission rates of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN).MethodsPubMed, Embase, Clinical Trails, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biology Medicine, Wanfang, and CQVIP databases were searched for studies on remission of IMN associated with PLA2R antibody published from inception to December 2020. Binary variables were extracted according to PLA2R antibody positive and negative groups. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate the literature quality. Meta analyses were performed in RevMan 5.3 software, and relative risk (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Publication bias was analyzed by Stata 15.0 software.ResultsA total of 15 articles were included in the meta-analysis, all of which were cohort studies (erther retrospective or prospective). A total of 1 452 patients with IMN were enrolled in the study. Among them, the spontaneous remission rate of IMN patients without immunosuppressive therapy was observed in 6 articles, and the therapeutic remission rate of IMN patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy was observed in 13 articles (both spontaneous remission rate and therapeutic remission rate were observed in 4 articles). Meta-analysis results showed that the spontaneous remission rate in the PLA2R antibody positive group was significantly lower than that in the PLA2R antibody negative group [RR=0.73, 95%CI (0.55, 0.97), P=0.03]. For IMN patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy, the remission rate in the PLA2R antibody positive group was significantly lower than that in the PLA2R antibody negative group at diagnosis [RR=0.81, 95%CI (0.72, 0.92), P=0.000 9].ConclusionsThe spontaneous remission rate of IMN with PLA2R antibody positive at diagnosis and the remission rate under the immunosuppressive therapy are significantly lower than those with PLA2R antibody negative. For IMN patients with negative PLA2R antibody, non-immunosuppressive therapy may be preferred to reduce the risk of adverse reactions due to its relatively high spontaneous remission rate. For IMN patients with PLA2R antibody positive, a more aggressive, longer-term immunosuppressive therapy may be required, given its lower spontaneous and therapeutic remission rates.
Objective To observe the inhibitory effects of gene transfer of canstatin on retinal neovascularization in mice. Methods Fifty-six 7-day-old C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control group,oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) group, empty vector group and treated group,14 mices in each group. Except for the control group,the mice in the other groups were exposed to (75plusmn;2)% oxygen for 5 days and then back to the normal air to establish the model of OIR. On postnatal 12 day, the treated group was received intravitreal injection of canstatin pCMV-HA, while the empty vector group was received the same volume of empty plasmid.The changes of retinal vessels were observed by Evans blue angiography on postnatal 17 day. With parafin section which stained by hematoxylin and eosin, then the number of endotheliocyte nuclei breaking throuhgh the internal limiting membrane(ILM) was observed and counted by optical microscope.Results Retinal blood vessels distributed regularly in treated group compared with OIR group and empty vector group.The differences of the number of endotheliocyte nuclei breaking throuhgh ILM in treated group was significant compared with the other two groups(F=39.006,Plt;0.001).Conclusion The canstatin pCMV-HA can effectively inhibit the retinalneovascularization in OIR.
Objective To observe the effect of Twist gene interference on the migration and pAkt protein expression of Rhesus retinal vascular endothelial cell line. Methods The Rhesus retinal vascular endothelial cells (RF/6A) were divided into Twist interference plasmid group, negative control group, and phosphate buffered solution (PBS) group; plasmid vectors were transfected via liposome gene transfection method. Migrated endothelial cells was detected and counted by Transwell chamber assay. Matrigel was used in endothelialcell tube formation; the inhibitory effect of Twist gene interference on endothelial cell tube formation was observed.The effect of Twist gene interference on the expression of pAkt protein in RF/6Acells was measured by Western blot. Results The number of migrated endothelial cells in Twist interference plasmid group was lower than that in the negative control and PBS group (F=23.786,P=0.000).The number of endothelial cell tubes in Twist interference plasmid group was apparently less than that in the negative control and PBS gorup (F=7.159,P=0.014). The expression of pAkt protein in Twist interference plasmid group decreased markedly.Conclusion Twist gene interference can suppress the migration of retinal endothelial cells via inhibiting the expression of pAkt protein.
It is important to design a long-period transparent bioactive material for corneal repair in the process of corneal tissue renovation. This article discusses the silk fibroin and formamide blend membranes as a corneal stroma repair material. Silk fibroin solution was mixed with formamide in different proportions to obtain insoluble transparent silk fibroin film by casting method. The blending membranes had excellent mechanical properties, cell compatibility and long-term transparent properties. Rabbit corneal stromal cells were seeded on the sterilized composite films. The rate of cell surface adhesion was over 90% after cells were placed on it for 5 hours. When cells were seeded on blend membranes from one day to seven days, Alma Blue was added to complete medium. Compared with the cell culture plate, there was no significant difference in cell proliferation on formamide/silk films. The results indicated that formamide/silk films might be used as a corneal stroma repair material and worth of further investigation.
目的 比较低频与高频探头超声对急性阑尾炎的诊断价值。 方法 对2010年1月-2011年6月120例急性阑尾炎的手术病理结果与超声检查结果进行回顾性分析,比较低、高频探头超声对急性阑尾炎的诊断价值。 结果 120例急性阑尾炎中,通过低频探头超声检出67例(55.8%),通过高频探头超声检出105例(87.5%);单纯性阑尾炎以及化脓性和坏疽性阑尾炎高频探头超声检出例数明显大于低频探头超声,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);阑尾周围脓肿低、高频探头超声均全部检出。 结论 高频探头超声对急性阑尾炎的检出率高于低频探头超声,但二者各有所长,在临床中联合应用能有效提高急性阑尾炎的超声诊断符合率。
