Résumé
Objective To investigate the expression of macrophage migration inhibitory factor(MIF) in renal tissue of children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis(HSPN),and its correlation with clinical indexes and pathological changes,and to explore its effect on the pathogenesis of HSPN.Methods According to the clinical manifestation,60 children with HPSN were divided into only purpura group,mixed group and HSPN group.MIF concentration of Henoch-Schonlein purpura(HSP) groups and healthy control group were detected with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).MIF protein expression and the marker of human macrophage(CD68) in renal tissues of HSPN and normal control group were detected with immunohistochemistry method.The total urine protein for 24 hours and urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) level were detected with laboratory routine method.Results MIF concentration in mixed group and HSPN group were significantly higher than that in only purpura group and healthy control group(Pa

Résumé
Objective To explore the correlation between-173G/C gene polymorphism of macrophage migration inhibitory factor(MIF) and Henoch-Schonlein purpura(HSP),Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis(HSPN) in children in Jiangxi Province.Methods One hundred and thirty-one ethnic Han children with HSP were enrolled,including 80 children with concurrent nephritis(HSPN group) and 51 children without nephritis(HSP without nephritis group).One hundred and five healthy children were used as the healthy control group.Germline DNA was extracted from peripheral blood by Promega blood genomic DNA kit.Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP) was used for genotyping the-173G/C polymorphism of MIF.Genotype distribution and allele frequencies were obtained by direct counting.Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS 11.5 software.Allele and genotype distribution were compared by using the chi-square test.The relative risk of allele was described by odds ratios(OR) and 95% confidence intervals(95%CI).Results Three genotypes(GG,GC,CC) were detected in MIF-173 G/C.GG,GC genotypes were detected in HSP without nephritis and healthy control group.GG,GC and CC genotypes were detected in HSPN group.Mutant genotype(37.5%) and C allele frequency(20.0%) in HSPN group were significantly higher than those in healthy control group(20.0% and 10.0%,respectively)(?2=6.964,7.400,Pa
Résumé
ObjectiveTo observe the expressions of hepatocyte growth factor(HGF) and its receptor c-Met in renal tissues of children with primary nephrotic syndrome(PNS) and the changes of serum HGF,and to explore its role in PNS chronic progress.MethodsForty-five children with PNS in active stage were studied.Among them,5 cases had severe tubulointerstitial lesions,12 cases had moderately tubulointerstitial lesions,21 cases were mild,7 cases without lesions.Serum from 20 normal cases and 10 normal renal tissues were evaluated as well.Inter-group comparison using One-Way ANOVA.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to examine the serum HGF,and immunohistochemistry staining and image analysis methods were used to study the expressions of HGF,c-Met,transforming growth factor-?1(TGF-?1) and ?-smooth muscle actin(?-SMA) in renal tissues.ResultsThe levels of HGF and c-Met protein expressions in renal tissues of children with severe tubulointerstitial lesions were significantly lower than those in the mild group and moderate group(Pa0.05).The level of HGF expression had positive correlation with the levels of TGF-?1,?-SMA among children with mild and moderately renal tubulointerstitial lesions(r=0.521,0.603Pa
