OBJECTIVE:To study the expression of serum cytokines, interleukin-38 (IL-38) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in the acute phase of Kawasaki disease (KD) in children and the association of IL-38 and IL-1β with inflammatory response in the acute phase and the development of coronary artery lesion (CAL). METHODS:A total of 40 children with KD who were hospitalized in the hospital between July 2015 and June 2016 were enrolled, with 21 children in the CAL group and 19 in the non-CAL (NCAL) group. Thirty healthy children and 19 children with infection and pyrexia, who were matched for sex and age, were enrolled as healthy control group and pyrexia control group respectively. ELISA was used to measure the serum levels of IL-38 and IL-1β in the 40 children in the acute phase of KD. Spearman's rank correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlations of IL-1β and IL-38 with interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), procalcitonin (PCT), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), triglyceride (TG), and total cholesterol (TC). RESULTS:The serum level of IL-38 in the children in the acute phase of KD was significantly lower than that in the healthy control group (P<0.05), but significantly higher than that in the pyrexia control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the level of IL-38 between the CAL and NCAL groups (P>0.05). The children in the acute phase of KD had a significantly higher level of IL-1β than the healthy control group (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between this group and the pyrexia control group (P>0.05). There was also no significant difference in the level of IL-1β between the CAL and NCAL groups (P>0.05). Serum IL-1β and IL-38 levels were not correlated with serum levels of CRP, ESR, PCT, IL-6, and NT-ProBNP or blood lipids (TG and TC) (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:IL-38 is involved in an inflammatory response in the acute phase of KD and may exert an anti-inflammatory effect, which is opposite to the effect of IL-1β to promote inflammatory response. However, there is no significant correlation between these two cytokines and the development of CAL in KD.
Objective To evaluate the gene expression of several molecules in Toll-like-receptor-4(TLR4) signal transduction pathway in the monocytes /macrophages after getting stimulated by the serum of Kawasaki disease(KD) patients in the acute phase as well as by γ-globulin,and to investigate the role of TLR4 in endothelial damage of KD and possible mechanism of γ-globulin in the treatment of KD.Methods Forty children with KD and 10 cases age-matched healthy children were studied.The gene expression of several molecules in TLR4 signal transduction pathway in the monocytes macrophages was evaluated after getting stimulated by the serum of KD patients in the acute phase as well as by γ-globulin.Results The expressions of TLR4 mRNA,MyD88 mRNA,TRAF6 mRNA in the human mononuclear macrophage(THP-1) were upregulated in KD serum group than in healthy control group,and γ-globulin could abolish the effect of KD serum group on TLR4 mRNA,MyD88 mRNA,and TRAF6 mRNA expressions;there was no difference in TLR4 mRNA,MyD88 mRNA,TRAF6 mRNA and CD14 mRNA expressions between KD-non coronary artery damage(KD-CAL-) serum group and KD-coronary artery damage(KD-CAL+) serum group.Conclusions It is assumed that TLR4 pathway involves in vascular damage in KD,and blocking the TLR4 pathway may be one of the mechanisms of γ-globulin to treat KD.
Objective: To evaluate potential acylation stimulating protein(ASP) resistance in both adipocytes and preadipocytes under the conditions of insulin resistance induced by testosterone on both receptor level and post-receptor level.Methods: 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were cultured and differentiated,and the adipocytes and preadipocytes were treated with 0(testosterone-free DMEM/F12),10-8,10-7,and 10-6 mol/L testosterone overnight.RT-PCR and flow cytometry were used to detected mRNA and cell surface expression of ASP receptor.Both non-testosterone treated and testosterone treated 3T3-L1 cells were cultured with 5.0 μmol/L ASP for 4 hours.Then the cell proteins were extracted and the expressions of Gβ,Gαq/11,p-PKCα,and p-PKC ζ were measured by Western blot.Results: High dose testosterone suppressed the C5L2 mRNA and protein expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes but not in preadipocytes.At 10-6 mol/L,testosterone inhibited C5L2 mRNA and cell surface C5L2 expression by 60%(P0.01) and 27%(P0.01),respectively.After overnight incubation with testosterone(in adipocytes and preadipocytes),Gαq/11,Gβ,p-PKCα,and p-PKCζ were downregulated in the presence of ASP treatment to a certain degree.In adipocytes,testosterone effectively blocked the ASP-stimulated Gαq/11,p-PKCα,and p-PKCζ expression by 52%,50% and 57%(P0.05 to P0.01,respectively) at 10-6 mol/L in adipocytes.In preadipocytes,testosterone did not influence the four proteins' expression.Conclusion: Testosterone inhibited ASP-stimulated signal proteins.The ASP resistance mechanism of action involves both changes in expression of C5L2 as well as signaling parameters to some extent.Testosterone-induced ASP resistance may contribute to the physiological abnormalities associated with insulin resistance and some abnormalities related with testosterone such as disorders in polycystic ovarian syndrome and so on.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of progesterone on the mRNA expression of acylation stimulating protein (ASP)-receptor C5L2 in adipocytes and preadipocytes and the C5L2 protein expression on the cell surface.METHODS:Preadipocytes of the line 3T3-L1 were cultured and induced to differentiate. Progesterone of the doses 0 - 1 x 10(-6) mol/L was added into the cultured fluid of the mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes and preadipocytes overnight. RT-PCR and flow cytometry were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of ASP receptor C5L2. Both non-progesterone treated and progesterone-treated 3T3-L1 cells were cultured with 5.0 micromol/L ASP for 4 hours, then the cell protein was extracted and the expressions of G protein (including Galphaq/11 and Gbeta) and phosphated protein kinase C (including p-PKCalpha and p-PKCzeta) were measured by Western blotting.RESULTS:The C5L2 protein expression level of the mature adipocytes stimulated by progesterone 1 x 10(-6) mol/L for 18 h was 36% +/- 15%, significantly downregulated compared with that of the adipocytes stimulated by progesterone 0 mol/L (46% +/- 12%, P < 0.01), with a inhibition rate of 22%. The C5L2 mRNA and protein expression levels of the preadipocytes stimulated by progesterone 1 x 10(-6) mol/L for 18 h were 0.17 +/- 0.11 and 36% +/- 16% respectively, both significantly lower than those of the preadipocytes stimulated by progesterone 0 mol/L (0.50 +/- 0.18 and 51% +/- 20% respectively, P < 0.01 and P < 0.05) with the inhibition rates of 66% and 29%respectively. The ASP-stimulated Galphaq/11, Gbeta, p-PKCalpha, and p-PKCzeta expression levels of the mature adipocytes after overnight exposure to progesterone 1 x 10(-8) and 1 x 10(-6) mol/L were suppressed dose-dependently. For example, the ASP-stimulated Galphaq/11, Gbeta, and p-PKCalpha expression levels of the progesterone 1 x 10(-6) mol/L group were significantly lower than those of the progesterone 0 mol/L group by 41%, 63%, and 49% respectively (P < 0.05 to P < 0.01. In the preadipocytes the reduction of ASP-induced Galphaq/11, Gbeta, and p-PKCzeta expression levels were observed at the concentration of progesterone as low as 1 x 10(-8) mol/L, and all the four proteins were inhibited significantly at the 1 x 10(-6) mol/L progesterone concentration.CONCLUSION:Progesterone induces ASP resistance in adipocytes and preadipocytes. ASP resistance may contribute to the physiological abnormalities associated with insulin resistance induced by progesterone.
Objective:To evaluate the lower urinary tract function in patients received pelvic neoplasm radiotherapy.Methods:Totally 21 patients including 15 cases of cervical cancer, 2 cases of sacral cancer, 4 cases of rectal cancer were included in this study. Maximum flow rate,pressure flow study,urethral pressure profile were measured. The patients were divided into three type based on the main symptom: frequency group, difficulty of urination group and incontinence group, and the causes were analyzed retrospectively. According to the American Urology Association Symptom Score(AUA), the association between voiding dysfunction and score were analyzed.Results:The difference of bladder volume, bladder compliance and maximum detrusor contraction power between radiotherapy group and normal group was significant (P0.05).Among 21 patients, urine incontinence was noted in 6(28.6%), difficulty of urination in 11(52.3%), frequency in 4(14%). There was significant association between voiding dysfunction and AUA score(r=0.43,P0.05).Conclusions:Pelvic neoplasm radiotherapy obviously affects function of bladder and urethra. The application of urodynamics helps to diagnosis complex voiding dysfunction after radiotherapy.

Objective:To study if bladder filling sensations are influenced by the state of rectal fullness.Methods:Bladder filling sensations were evaluated during 2 consecutive cystometric studies in 12 healthy volunteers.The tests were done first with an empty rectum and then with a full rectum.The bladder pressures were recorded at the same time.Results:The state of rectal fullness had very little influences on bladder compliance during filling.Compared with these of the state of rectal empty,the thresholds of first filling sensation,first desire to void and strong desire to void were significantly decreased when the rectum was full.Conclusions:There may exist a nervous reflex pathway between the rectum and bladder that can influence the bladder filling sensations.Before cystometric tests,we should examine the state of rectum in case the state of rectal fullness might influence the bladder filling sensations evaluating.
Aim To evaluate potential acylation stimulating protein (ASP) resistance in both adipocytes and preadipocytes under the conditions which produce insulin resistance by 17β-estradiol on both receptor level and post-receptor level. Methods 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were induced differentiated and 0 mol/L (17β-estradiol-free DMEM/F12), 10-8 mol/L, 10-7 mol/L and 10-6 mol/L 17β-estradiol was added to cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes and preadipocytes overnight. RT-PCR and flow cytometry were used to detect mRNA and cell surface expression of ASP receptor. Both non-17β-estradiol treated and 17β-estradiol treated 3T3-L1 cells were cultured with 5.0 μmol/L ASP for 4 hours. Then the cell proteins were extracted and the expressions of Gβ, Gαq/11, p-PKCα and p-PKC ζ were measured by Western Blot. Results High dose 17β-estradiol suppressed C5L2 mRNA and protein expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes but not preadipocytes. At 10-8 mol/L, 17β-estradiol increased C5L2 mRNA and protein expression slightly in both adipocytes and preadipocytes (P>0.05, respectively). At 10-6 mol/L 17β-estradiol inhibited C5L2 mRNA and cell surface C5L2 expression by 40% (P<0.05) and 21% (P<0.05), respectively. After overnight incubation with 17β-estradiol (in adipocytes and preadipocytes), Gαq/11, Gβ, p-PKCα and p-PKCζ were downregulated in the presence of ASP treatment to a certain degree. In adipocytes, at 10-6 mol/L, 17β-estradiol inhibited the ASP-induced Gαq/11, Gβ, p-PKCα and p-PKCζ expression by 17%,23%,15% and 15% (P>0.05, respectively). Whereas high dose 17β-estradiol effectively blocked ASP-stimulated Gαq/11 significantly by 24% (P<0.05) in preadipocytes. However, 17β-estradiol counteracted ASP-stimulated Gαq/11, Gβ, p-PKCα and p-PKCζ to some extent. Conclusion 17β-estradiol induces ASP resistance in adipocytes and preadipocytes. ASP resistance may contribute to the physiological abnormalities associated with insulin resistance induced by 17β-estradiol.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the correlation between the parameters of prostate volume (PV) measured by transabdominal ultrasonography and urodynamic results in diagnosing bladder outlet obstruction (BOO).METHODS:112 BPH patients aged 45-85 underwent transabdominal ultrasonography to measure the superior-inferior diameter (R1) anterior-posterior diameter (R2), and left-right diameter (R3). Urodynamic examination was conducted to record the maximum flow rate (Qmax), detrusor pressure at maximum urinary flow rate (Pdet. Qmax), and detrusor pressure at minimum urinary flow rate (Pdet. Qmin), Schafer grading and international prostate symptom score (IPSS) scores were calculated. Correlation analysis was performed.RESULTS:The PV, R1, R2, and R3 were (48 +/- 29) ml, (4.3 +/- 1.0) cm, (3.7 +/- 0.9) cm, and (5.2 +/- 0.8) cm respectively. The Qmax, Pdet. Qmax, Schafer score, and IPSS score were (6.2 +/- 3.2) ml/s, (56 +/- 41) cm H2O, 3.1 +/- 1.8 (0-6) and 23 +/- 2 (15-31) respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that R1 (OR = 22.662, P = 0.000), PV (OR = 0.946, P = 0.008) , and Qmax (OR = 0.760, P = 0.013) were positively correlated with Schafer grading value.CONCLUSION:The parameters of PV measured by transabdominal ultrasonography are reliable to diagnose BOO due to BPH.
