ObjectiveStudy the relationship among CaSR expression, tubulointerstitial damage,metabolic disturbance of calcium and phosphorus and microvascular density around the tubulointerstitium in children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome.Methods36 cases of children with primary nephrotic syndrome were divided into hormone-sensitive group and steroid-resistant group.Semi-quantitative scores for tubulointerstitial pathological evaluation of the extent of damage, automatic biochemical analyzer for the determination of serum calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) concentration of renal tubular epithelial CaSR expression and microvessel microvascular density around the tubulointerstitium were determined by immunohistochemical assay.ResultsMore severe the tubulointerstitial damage, lower level of serum Ca and higher level of serum P were observed [(2.26 ± 0.15) mmol/L]in children of the steroid-resistant group and the steroid-sensitive group [(1.90 + 0.12) mmol/L, P ＜ 0.05].CaSR expression (4.63 + 0.78) of renal tubular epithelial cells in the steroid- sensitive group was significantly lower than that in the steroid-resistant group (6.56 + 1.22, P ＜ 0.05), but microvascular density was significantly higher in the steroid- sensitive group(2.98 +0.35 vs 2.02 +0.24, P ＜0.05).When the tubulointerstitial damage was mild, CaSR expression (4.15 +0.58) in renal tubular epithelial cells in the steroid- sensitive group (4.26 ±0.61) was lower than the steroid-resistant group(3.12 ± 0.33; 3.01 ± 0.21), and microvascular density was higher,but the difference was not significant(P ＞0.05).In the moderate tubulointerstitial damage, CaSR expression in renal tubular epithelial cells in the steroid- sensitive group (5.35 ± 0.64) was significantly lower than the resistant group (7.37 +0.81, P ＜0.01), and microvascular density was significantly higher than the resistant group (2.81 ±0.16, 2.02 ±0.14, P ＜0.05).Compared by mild and moderate tubulointerstitial damage in children with the steroid-resistant, CaSR expression (11.46 ± 1.38) in children with severe tubulointerstitial damage was significantly increased, and microvascular density (1.15 ± 0.11) was significantly decreased (all P ＜ 0.01).ConclusionsCaSR expression was increased and microvascular density around the tubulointerstitium was decreased in children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome.Dut to steroid resistance, the cytotoxic of steroid damaged the renal tubular epithelial cells, the metabolic disturbance of calcium and phosphorus and the damage of blood vessel endothelium finally resulted in severe tubulointerstitial damage.

Sympathetic nervous system level and ambulatory blood pressure in children with primary nephrotic syndrome / 中南大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the change in ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) value and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) level in children with primary nephrotic syndrome(PNS) and their relationship.@*METHODS@#ABPM and casual blood pressure(CBP) were tested in 114 children with PNS and 12 normal children as a control group. The 24-h urine noradrenaline(NA), adrenaline(A) and dopamine(DA) content were detected through high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical luminescence and the correlation with ABP was analyzed.@*RESULTS@#Among 114 children with PNS, 101 had elevated blood pressure (88.6%), 45 showed high incidence of masked hypertension (39.5%), and 80 non-dipper blood pressure (70.2%). Systolic blood pressure level and blood pressure load were greater than diastolic blood pressure. NA, A, and DA levels of the PNS group were significantly higher than those of the control group, while those of the elevated blood pressure group were significantly higher than those of the normal blood pressure group in PNS children. SNS levels were positively correlated with blood pressure levels and blood pressure load, and negatively correlated with night BP decreasing rates.@*CONCLUSION@#Children with PNS have high incidence of hypertension with large proportion of masked hypertension and non-dipper blood pressure. Severe masked hypertension classification should be set up. In PNS children, SNS activity is elevated that might evaluate the blood pressure level and decrease blood pressure circadian rhythm.

In vitro labeling and tracing of metanephric mesenchymal cells derived from embryonic rats / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:Stem cell transplantation provides a new approach to treat chronic renal disease.Specific marking and in vivo tracing of stern cells are the basis of studies in this field.However,the marking methods appropriate for all cells remain uncertain.OBJECTIVE:To observe the in vivo location and differentiation of 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and green fluorescence protein (GFP)-Iabeled cells in adriamycin nephrosis rats so as to explore an efficient labeling and tracing method for metanephric mesenchymal cells (MMCs) derived from embryonic rats.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Grouping comparative observation was performed at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from April to December 2007.MATERIALS:A total of 60 female SD rats,weighing 180-220 g,of dean grade,were used to establish models of adriamycin nephrosis.METHODS:DAPI and MMCs infected with GFP and DAPI were respectively injected into addamycin nephrosis via the tail vein.DAPI and GFP distribution in the frozen sections was detected at 1,3,and 5 weeks,postoperatively.In addition,GFP expression in renal tissues was detected by ABC immunoenzymatic staining method.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:DAPI and GFP-labeled Cell grafts in adriamycin nephrosis rats were compared.The changes of GFP-transfected MMCs at different time points were observed.RESULTS:DAPI positive cells were observed in tubular structures after 1 weeks of injection of DAPI-labeled cells and DAPI alone,and remained existing at 5 weeks,but the florescence was reduced with time.GFP-transfected MMCs were able to survive and integrate into tubular structures after 1 week,and remained existing at 5 weeks.Moreover,the fluorescence was not reduced.ABC immunoanzymatic staining showed that only a few GFP-positive MMCs appeared in glomerular tufts,and mainly distributed in cytoplasm.Semi-quantitative evaluation of GFP show that the positive cell rate in rats with early application was greater than that with advanced application,and the positive rate was increased with time.CONCLUSION:Liposome mediated GFP gene transfer was an efficient labeling in vitro and suitable tracing method for cell differentiation experiment in vivo,suitable for short-term tracing and observation of transplanted cells.

Serum and urine VEGF concentration of different pathological types in children with Henoch Schonlein purpura nephritis / 中南大学学报(医学版)

Objective To explore the relationship between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) concentration in urine and renal vascular damage in children with Henoch Schonlein purpura nephritis (HSPN).Methods The kidney pathological lesion of 78 biopsy-proven HSPN children was assessed with renal vascular damage, glomerular pathological damage, and tubulointerstitial pathological damage semi-quantitative points. The children were divided into 3 groups (light, medium, and heavy group) according to the renal vascular, glomerular, tubulointerstitial, glomerular and tubulointerstitial total pathological points. Blood and urine vascular endothelial growth factor concentration was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay;the localized renal VEGF expression and microvessel density were detected by immunohistochemistry assay in the kidneys. Results The semi-quantitative points of glomerular, tubulointerstitial, renal vascular, and glomerular and tubulointerstitial total points in different groups had significant difference (all P＜0.01);the minor renal vascular damage, the higher light microvessel density, blood and kidney concentration of VEGF, and the VEGF excretion in the urine were also lower in different groups, and there were significant differences (all P＜0.01). Glomerular points were positively related with tubular points, vascular points, kidney total score (r=0.596,0.612, and 0.728;P＜0.05, 0.05, and 0.01 respectively). Microvessel density was highly positively related with blood VEGF and renal VEGF, and negatively rela-ted with urine VEGF (r=0.601, 0.696, and -0.639,all P＜0.01). Conclusion The urinary excretion of VEGF leads to the decrease of local kidney VEGF concentration resulting in the renal vascular injury, which may be the important reason for renal vascular damage and pathology chronic progress in HSPN children.
