Methods：A mathematical model is developed based on response （MR） Hagan-Poiseuille law and mass transport, coupling mechanics of myogenic tubuloglomerular feedback （TGF） and the tubular system in the renal medulla. The model parameters, including the permeability coefficients, the vascular lumen radius and the solute concentration at the inlet of the tubes, are derived from the experimental results. Simulations of the blood and water flow in the loop of Henel, the collecting duct and vas rectum, are carried out by the model of the tubular system in the renal medulla, based on conservations of water and solutes for transmural transport. Then the tubular model is coupled with MR and TGF mechanics. Results：The results predict the dynamics of renal autoregulation on its blood pressure and flow, and the distributions are 88.5% in the cortex, 10.3% in the medulla, and 1.2% at papilla,respectively. The fluid flow and solute concentrations along the tubules and vasa recta are obtained. Conclusion ：The present model could assess renal functions qualitatively and quantitatively and provide a methodological approach for clinical research.展开更多

At 24 hours after treatment, the proliferating cell nuclear antigen was measured with immunocytochemistry, alkaline phosphatase ( ALP) activity was determined and the expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) was detected to observe the effects of bFGF on growth and differentiation of osteoblasts. Results: bFGF ( 5-50 ng/ml ) could obviously promote the growth of osteoblasts. The intracellular expression of TGF-β, mRNA increased significantly, but the intracellular ALP content decreased.Conclusions: bFGF can obviously stimulate the proliferation of osteoblasts and promote the synthesis of TGF-β1, but cannot promote the differentiation of osteoblasts.展开更多
