ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2) and peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) associated thrombosis in cervical cancer patients, and provide certain clinical basis of early prevention in peripherally inserted central catheter associated thrombosis in cervical cancer patients. Methods One hundred and forty cervical patients with PICC were enrolled in this study, and they were divided into thrombosis group (35 patients) and non-thrombosis group (105 patients). The level of F1+2 was examined using enzyme-linked immunoassay, and was analyzed according to the clinic features. Results The level of F1+2 was correlated with clinical stage (r = 0.640, P = 0.004);but was not correlated with age, type of tumor and concurrent radiochemotherapy (P>0.05). The level of F1+2 in thrombosis group was (520.343 ± 121.759) pmol/L, in non- thrombosis group was (388.361 ± 104.873) pmol/L, and there was significant difference (P =0.001). The multi-factors Logistic analysis showed that the level of F1+2 (OR=1.011, P=0.001) and age (OR = 21.025, P = 0.031) were independent risk factors for the PICC associated with thrombosis in cervical cancer. Conclusions The level of F1+2 is closely related with clinical stage and PICC associated thrombosis, and it is an independent risk factor for the PICC associated with thrombosis in cervical cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of Fushenjiangxianning on renal protein kinase C(PKC),renal vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),renal platelet-derived growth factor ?(PDGF-?),and renal protection in diabetic nephropathy(DN) rats.Methods The diabetic SD rats induced by STZ were divided into four groups: diabetic control group,Fushenjiangxianning group,Irbesartan group, and Fushenjiagxianning combined with Irbesartan group,and the normal control group as well.After the experimental rats in every group were respectively treated for 12 weeks by above intervention methods,the relative kidney weight,blood sugar,urea nitrogen(Bun),serum creatinine(Scr),and urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER) were detected by routine analysis methods,and PKC and VEGF in renal tissue were detected by immunohistochemical techniques,and PDGF-? in renal tissue was detected by Western blotting,and ultramicrostructure of kidney was observed by transmission electron microscope.ResultsThe expression of renal cortex PKC and VEGF was increased in diabetic rats.The ultramicrostructure of kidney was noticeably changed,and the blood sugar,UAER,BUN,Scr,relative kidney weight,and PDGF-? were significantly increased in diabetic rats.While the above indexes in Fushenjiangxianning group,Irbesartan group,and Fushenjiangxianning combined with Irbesartan group were significantly lower than those in diabetic control group(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of Jieju Fushenning(JFN) on platelet-derived growth factor B(PDGF-B) and bone morphogenetic protein-7(BMP-7) expression in renal tissue of rats with diabetes mellitus(DM). Methods The diabetic SD rats induced by STZ were divided into four groups:model group,JJFSN group,irbesartan group and JFN combined with irbesartan group. Meanwhile,a normal control group was set up. The rats in each group received corresponding treatment for 12 weeks. The urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER) was detected by routine analysis method,and PDGF-B and BMP-7 expression in renal tissue were detected by immunohistochemical techniques. PDGF-B expression in renal tissue was detected by Western blot,and the ultrastructure of kidney was observed by transmission electron microscope. Results The expression of BMP-7 was decreased and PDGF-B expression was increased in renal cortex of the model group. PDGF-B expression was obviously decreased and BMP-7 expression was increased in JFN group,irbesartan group and JFN combined with irbesartan group compared with those in the model group(P
