Value of urinary retinol binding protein，urinary hepatic fatty acid binding protein，serum fibroblast growth factor-21 and transforming growth factor-β in the diagnosis of early dia... by Huang Qiao-mu, He Yan

“…ObjectiveTo explore the value of urinary retinol binding protein （RBP），urinary hepatic fatty acid binding protein （L-FABP），serum fibroblast growth factor-21 （FGF-21） and transforming growth factor-β （TGF-β） in the diagnosis of early diabetic nephropathy （DN）.MethodsFrom March 2019 to February 2020，129 hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） were divided into three groups of DM control （<italic>n</italic>=48），DN microalbuminuria （<italic>n</italic>=43） and DN massive proteinuria （<italic>n</italic>=38） according to urinary microalbumin/creatinine （UACR） ratio.In the same period，39 healthy subjects receiving physical examination were selected as normal control group.Urinary levels of RBP and microalbumin （mAlb） were measured by immunoturbidimetry； urinary levels of L-FABP and serum levels of FGF-21 and TGF by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）.Triglyceride （TG），total cholesterol （TC），high density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C），low density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）； serum levels of fasting blood glucose （FPG），2-hour postprandial blood glucose，mean blood glucose，24-hour urinary protein （24 h UP），glycosylated hemoglobin （HbA1c），albumin，hemoglobin （Hb），serum creatinine （Scr），urea nitrogen （BUN） and serum uric acid （SUA） were measured by an automatic biochemical detector.Glomerular filtration rate （GFR） was calculated by modified MDRD equation.Pearson’s correlation was employed for examining the relationship between urinary RBP，urinary L-FABP，blood FGF-21 and blood TGF-2 and renal function.The value of combining urinary RBP，urinary L-FABP，blood FGF-21 and TGF-β in the diagnosis of DN were analyzed by receiver operator characteristic （ROC curve）.ResultsUrinary RBP ［（56.32±6.24） mg/L，（78.86±14.22） mg/L，（103.25±16.57） mg/L <italic>vs</italic> （37.33±5.13） mg/L］，urinary L-FABP ［（39.56±4.51） μg/g，（89.69±11.88） μg/g，（196.38±36.21） μg/g <italic>vs</italic> （13.45±1.33）μg/g］，blood FGF-21 ［（254.85±25.19） μg/L，（305.42±30.36） μg/L，（354.12±35.67） μg/L <italic>vs</italic> （209.36±19.32）μg/L］ and TGF-β［（427.36±43.74） ng/L，（543.89±63.45） ng/L，（672.13±82.16） ng/L <italic>vs</italic> （356.24±39.15） ng/L］ in DM control，DN microalbuminuria and DN macroalbuminuria groups.The levels were significantly higher than those in normal control group （<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05）.Compared with normal control group，the levels of Scr ［（62.35±18.51） μmol/L，（68.52±27.96） μmol/L，（127.94±109.60） μmol/L <italic>vs </italic>（67.89±11.54）μmol/L］，BUN ［（6.01±2.43） mmol/L，（6.37±2.16） mmol/L，（9.65±4.18） mmol/L <italic>vs</italic> （4.16±0.42） mmol/L］，SUA ［（356.69±34.51） mmol/L，（359.23±36.42） mmol/L，（364.56±41.43） mmol/L <italic>vs</italic> （288.91±25.77） mmol/L］，24 h UP ［（0.05±0.25） g/24h，（0.36±0.26） g/24h，（0.77±0.28） g/24h <italic>vs</italic> （0.03±0.17） g/24h］，mAlb ［（6.94±1.63） μg/L，（8.32±1.75） μg/L，（10.46±1.91） μg/L <italic>vs</italic> （3.54±1.02） μg/L］ and eGFR ［（139.65±51.24） mL·min^-1·（1.73m²）^-1，（134.25±63.81） mL·min^-1·（1.73m²）^-1，（86.99±56.76） mL·min^-1·（1.73m²）^-1 <italic>vs</italic> （113.51±24.87） mL·min^-1·（1.73m²）^-1］ were significantly higher in DM control，DN microalbuminuria and DN macroalbuminuria groups （<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05）.Blood glucose related parameters were significantly higher in DM control，DN microalbuminuria and DN massive proteinuria groups than those in normal control group （<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05）.The levels of TG ［（1.26±0.88） mmol/L，（1.48±0.11） mmol/L，（1.71±0.09） mmol/L <italic>vs</italic> （0.93±0.97） mmol/L］，TC ［（4.67±0.49） mmol/L，（5.23±0.53） mmol/L，（6.81±0.61） mmol/L <italic>vs</italic> （3.41±0.33） mmol/L］，HDL-C ［（1.19±0.27） mmol/L，（1.26±0.33） mmol/L，（1.42±0.54） mmol/L <italic>vs</italic> （1.67±0.23） mmol/L］，LDL-C ［（2.41±0.66） mmol/L，（2.53±0.81） mmol/L，（3.21±1.27） mmol/L <italic>vs </italic>（2.76±0.33） mmol/L］，serum albumin ［（42.49±3.96） g/L，（39.64±4.45） g/L，（37.82±4.94） g/L <italic>vs</italic> （39.51±3.08） g/L］ and Hb ［（129.12±16.23） g/L，（126.33±19.45） g/L，（117.72±24.93） g/L <italic>vs</italic> （134.22±10.13） g/L］ were significantly higher in DM control，DN microalbuminuria and DN macroalbuminuria groups than those in normal control group （<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05） and the levels of Hb were significantly lower than those in normal control group （<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05）.Pearson’s correlation analysis indicated that urinary RBP，blood FGF-21 and TGF- β were significant positively correlated with urinary L-FABP and Scr，BUN，SUA，24 h UP，mAlb and eGFR （<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05）.ROC curve analysis revealed that AUC for urinary RBP，urinary L-FABP，blood FGF-21 and blood TGF-β diagnosing DN alone was 0.725，0.756，0.749 and 0.715 and diagnosing DN jointly 0.901.ConclusionThe levels of urinary RBP，urinary L-FABP，serum FGF-21 and TGF - β are abnormal in DN patients.The combined application of the four factors has significant diagnostic value for early DN.…”

Analyzing the Impact of the Presence of Foreign Tourists in Religious Places on Their Attitude Towards Shiism by Marziyeh Farshiddost, Behrooz Badkoo, Mohamad Ghasemisiani

“…The results of the research show that the causal factors including religious affiliation, the tourist's mental image towards Iran and Islam have been effective in changing the actual attitude of the tourists, although in the meantime and before the trip, media inductions and the targeted destruction of opposing networks have a negative attitude and accompanied by fear. have created Also, the results showed that categories such as the splendor of Iranian-Islamic architecture and religious commonalities along with the spirit of hospitality and attention to women have been the basis for changing their attitude towards the Shia religion, and the cultural and religious functions of religious tourism have led to the formation of an inner belief in the tourists towards the Shia religion. …”

Environmental Levels and Degradation Behavior of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) in the Water Environment by Zhaohe ZHANG, Dian CHEN, Wei ZHAO, Guoli YUAN, Jun LI, Xingchun JIAO

“…In surface water, many PPCPs have avoided the strict biodegradation environment of wastewater treatment, and photochemistry may have a greater effect than the biodegradation under sunlight, in which antibiotics are mainly photodegraded in the water environment; ibuprofen, iopromide and caffeine are more prone to biodegradation; esters and amides are the most common functional groups that are easily hydrolyzed in PPCPs[63], and tetracycline can undergo hydrolysis reactions due to adsorption into sediments. …”
