ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the influence of tanshinone 11 A on the expressions of molecular chape rone Cosmc. advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) in the kidney tissue of the allergic purpura nephritis mice and the levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinase/mitogen activated protein kinase (ERK/MAPK) signaling pathway proteins, and to clarify mechanism of tanshinone 11 A in the treatment of allergic purpura nephritis. Methods: A total of 38 mice were divided into control group∗ model group (allergic purpura nephritis model) and tanshinone 11 A group (allergic purpura nephritis model • tanshinone 11 A treatment), with 12 in each group; the other 2 mice were used to verify the success of modeling. The urine red blood cell counts and urine protein levels of the mice in various groups were measured, and the pathomorphology of kidney tissue of the mice in various groups were observed by periodate schiff-reaction (PAS) staining. The AOPP protein levels in the kidney tissue of the mice were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the ERK and phosphorylated ERK (p-ERk) protein expression levels were determined by Western blotting method. The expression levels of ERK. p-ERK and Cosmc mRNA in kidney tissue of the mice were determined by RT-PCR. Results: In control group, there was no hyperplasia of glomerular basement membrane and no glomerular sclerosis; in model group, the proliferation of glomerular basement membrane was obvious∗ the inflammatory cells were infiltrated, and glomerular sclerosis appeared; in tanshinone 11 A group, glomerular basement membrane hyperplasia and inflammatory infiltration were not obvious in the mice, there was only small amount of infiltrated inflammatory cells. Compared with control group, the urine red blood cell count, the 24 h urine protein level, the p ERK mRNA and AOPP protein levels of the mice in model group and tanshinone 11 A group were increased ( P<0. 05 or P<0. 01); the Cosmc mRNA expression levels were decreased (P<0. 01). Compared with model group, the urine red blood cell count. 24 h urine protein level, the p-ERK and AOPP protein levels in the kidney tissue of the mice in tanshinone 11 A group were decreased (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). and the Cosmc mRNA expression level was increased (P

ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of low molecular weight heparin calcium combined with Bailing capsule in treatment of children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis and the efficacy of serum hs-CRP, MMP-9, APN and CysC.MethodsFrom January 2013 to December 2015, 84 children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis were enrolled in our hospital.According to the order of admission, the observation group and control group were divided into observation group and control group.The control group were given low molecular weight heparin calcium, the observation group were treated with low molecular weight heparin calcium combined with Bailing capsule for treatment.The levels of serum hs-CRP, MMP-9, APN, CysC, inflammatory factors and immune levels were observed in the two groups.ResultsAfter treatment, the clinical effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group[92.86% (39/42) vs 69.05% (29/42)] (P<0.05).There were no significant differences in hs-CRP, MMP-9, APN and CysC levels between the two groups.After treatment, the levels of hs-CRP, MMP-9 and CysC in the two groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (P<0.05).APN was significantly higher than that before treatment (P<0.05).Compared with the control group, the levels of hs-CRP, MMP-9 and CysC in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the APN level was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05).There were no significant differences in TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-18 levels between the two groups before treatment.After treatment, The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-18 in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05).There were no significant differences in IgA, IgG and IgM levels between the two groups.After treatment, the levels of IgA, IgG and IgM in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05).The levels of IgA, IgG and IgM in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in adverse reaction rate between the two groups.ConclusionLow molecular weight heparin combined with Bailing capsule can effectively reduce hs-CRP, MMP-9, CysC level and APN level in children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis, improve clinical symptoms, good clinical efficacy and high safety.
ABSTRACT
To observe the effect of tripterygium glycosides combined with Danshen injection on blood coagulation mechanism in children with allergic purpura nephritis, and investigate its treatment efficacy through a randomized controlled study. The results showed that before treatment, there were no significant differences in levels of D-D, APTT, PT, FIB and PLT between treatment group and control group; while after treatment, there were significant differences in levels of D-D, PT, FIB and PLT between two groups, but no difference in level of APTT. The effective rate was 90.38% in treatment group, significantly higher than 79.25% in the control group. There was no significant difference in incidence of adverse reactions between two groups. The results suggested that tripterygium glycosides combined with Danshen injection can enhance treatment efficacy and improve blood coagulation mechanism of children in the treatment of purpura nephritis, with high safety and no adverse effects.
