Abstract:Thin limbs of the long looped nephrons (LLN) are of heterogenic ultrastructure and transportation, which is important for formation of the gradient osmolarity in renal medulla and therefore the concentrated urine. Here presented a detailed description of the epithelia, including ultra-structure and length and location of the epithelial types and subtypes of the descending thin limbs (DTL), as well as ascending thin limbs (ATL), of the LLN. Three adult C57/BL/6J mice were used for kidney tissue serial sections and computer assisted 3D reconstruction of nephrons. Based on tubular tracing, sections representing different epithelial types of DTL and ATL of the LLN were selected and re-embedded in Epon for the ultrastructural analysis. Three epithelial types, type-2, -3, and -4 in sequence are of their own ultrastructural features, running courses, and the spatial locations in renal medulla. Type-2 epithelium constituted the upper part of the DTL for a various distance, about (53.51±5.05)%, located in the outer two thirds of the inner stripe of the outer medulla (ISOM); while type 3 epithelium lined the middle part (38.47±3.06)% of the DTL, started at the border of the outer two thirds and inner one third of the ISOM, ended at the lower 1/5 to 1/4 of the whole length of the DTL, at the various levels of the inner medulla (IM); and type-4 lined the last part of the DTL for various distances, and constituted the pre-bend part of the DTL and the whole length of the ATL. For the individual nephrons, the location of the transition between type-2 and -3 was almost consistent, while the transition of the type-3 and -4 was at the various levels of the IM. According to the ultrastructure, traditional type-2 epithelium was subdivided into type-2a, -2b, and -2c. Type-2a constituted initial part of the DTL of LLN with highly complex ultrastructure and tortuous course for various distances, whereas type-2b and -2c were structurally less complex with less tortuous course, compared with type-2a, and gradually transferred into type-3 around the border of outer and inner medulla (check). In conclusion, different epithelial types and subtypes along DTL and ATL were arranged in a regular sequence, but of various lengths and locations, suggesting regional or segmental transportation properties. | |||

Abstract:Background: olestra is a new type of fat substitutes. Because it is not absorbed, it may cause gastrointestinal Symptoms when consumed in large amounts. Objective: The aim was using cake as the carrier of olestra to compare the effect of gastrointestinal symptoms in people when consumed in different amounts. Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial compared the effects of olestra cake (11g/day or 22g/day in cake) with those of regular butter cake on gastrointestinal symptoms. The study lasted 9 days: 3days baseline and 6 days treatment. The gastrointestinal symptoms and their impact on daily activities were collected by telephone interviewers and recorded in a daily record. Results: Gastrointestinal symptoms, such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, flatulence, nausea, loose stools, more frequent bowel movement and so on, were observed in our study. The incidence of diarrhea (liquid/watery stools, bowel movement frequency > 3/day) which people and researchers paid more attention to was only 0.79% when one participant consumed 11g olestra. Of 63 evaluable subjects in the olestra cake group (22g/day) or in the butter cake group, incidence of GI adverse events was 1.6% lower than the incidence consumed 11g/day (6.4%). There was not significant difference between different intake doses in the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events by chi-square (p=0.371>0.05). The incidence of gastrointestinal function change had a growing trend with the increase of olestra intake. But it is not significant by chi-square (p=0.541>0.05). Gastrointestinal symptoms, such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, flatulence, nausea, loose stools, mainly occurred in the first day after eating up cake, while more frequent bowel movement mainly occurred in the first and second day. The effect of sex and age on the incidence of gastrointestinal symptoms was not significant. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that consumption of olestra is not associated with increased incidence or severity of gastrointestinal symptoms. So it is safe and acceptable that olestra, as fat replacer, is applied in food. | |||

Abstract:Purpose:To explore the AR and HBx expression in both mRNA levels and protein levels, and to find the relationship among them and clinical characteristics. Compared with the negative controls, we tried to find the role of AR in HBV-associated hepatocarcinogenesis. Methods: Eighty-three cases of surgically resected HBV-associated HCC and 14 cases of the HBV-negative HCC were selected. Meanwhile, 13 peritumoral liver tissues from hemangioma served as benign control. One hundred and eighty-nine liver biopsy samples of chronic hepatitis B and 75 cases whose diagnosis as "No pathological diagnostic abnormal" were also selected. The expressions at mRNA levels were detected by fluorescence quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Western blot and En Vision immunohistochemical stain investigated the protein expressions. Results: In 83 HBV-associated HCC cases, in both peritumoral tissues (P=0.000) and tumors (P=0.000), AR mRNA levels correlated positively with HBx; The expression of AR (P=0.011) and HBx (P=0.000) was significantly higher in peritumoral tissues than in tumors; HBV-associated HCC cases had significantly higher AR mRNA than HBV-negative HCC in both peritumoral tissues (P=0.027) and tumors (P=0.021). The results from western blot analysis and Immunohistochemical stain were consistent with those of mRNA levels.In chronic hepatitis B patients, the expression of AR correlated with the grade of Scheuer scores (P=0.034). Conclusions: To clarified the expression of AR in HBV-associated HCC and chronic hepatitis B cases. AR plays a role in HBV-associated hepatocarcinogenesis. HBx-induce AR expression may be a mechanism of hepatocarcinogenesis. AR had stronger expression in peritumoral tissues than in tumors implied that the expression of AR increases during preneoplastic stages and that progression towards cancer development can suppress maintain AR expression levels. It is therefore proposed that androgen therapy may be ineffective after establishment of tumor. In chronic hepatitis B, AR pathway may be related with inflammation. | |||

Abstract:The charged ions have been used in tumor therapy instead of conventional radiation therapy since 1970’s mainly as its favorable depth profile of the relative biological effectiveness (RBE). However, the projectiles fragments produced inside patient’s body reach a region beyond the range of the primary particles, and cause needless exposure, known as ‘fragment tail’, which spoil the therapy effect seriously. The production of fragments is one of the most crucial, but not yet perfectly understood, problems to be considered when planning for the utilization of heavy ions therapy, and there is no detailed experimental description about the dose distribution it caused until now. In this paper, we introduce a method of detecting the light fragments briefly with the aim of giving a feasible way to measure the spatial dose distribution behind the Bragg peak or Spread out Bragg peak (SOBP) using the CR-39 solid state nuclear track detector, the HSP-1000 microscope system and the PitFit track measurement analysis software. | |||

Abstract:Evodiamine (Evo), an alkaloidal component extracted from the fruit of Evodiae fructus (Evodia rutaecarpa Benth., Rutaceae), decreases the body weight of rats through a poorly defined mechanism. The hypothalamus is responsible for controlling food intake and energy expenditure. We postulate that Evo mediates this activity by modulating feeding-related peptides in the hypothalamus. We investigated the effects of Evo on food intake, body weight and the mRNA expression of hypothalamic NPY, AGRP, Pmch, POMC, CART, and MC4R, in male rats. Evo (40 mg/kg or 4 mg/kg) was intragastrically administrated for 25 days, and the food intake and body weight of rats were recorded daily. Blood samples were collected for leptin radioimmunoassay (RIA). Real-Time PCR was used to analyze the mRNA expression. Our results show that intragastric administration of Evo (40 mg/kg) inhibits food intake, decreases body weight and reduces the mRNA expression of NPY and AGRP in the hypothalamus, while it increases the circulating level of leptin. Our results indicate that Evo decreases food intake, and therefore body weight, partly by down-regulating NPY and AGRP mRNA expression in the hypothalamus. | |||
