Abstract:Objective
To expiore the influence of oral low dose of mixed rare earth Changle in the morphological structure of the kidney of diabetic rats, and clarify its repair on kidney structure damage of diabetic rats.Methods Male Wistar rats were treated with STZ to set up diabetes mellitus models and then divided into diabetic model group and Changle treatment group (n=10),the other 10 nomal rats were used as control group,the rats in three groups were given daily saline, Changle(0.2 mg?kg-1),and daily saline,orally one month, then they were executed and the kidney was obtained.The kidney morphometry was used to detect the changes of rat kidney weight, body weight
, kidney weight to body weight ratio, renal cortical thickness, glomerular volume density, total glomerular volume, near (far) end of the total volume, near (far) end of the tubular epithelial cell height, near (far) end of tube cavity diameter and the morphological changes of kidney.Results Compared with control group and Changle treatment group,in diabetic model group, the kidney weight was increased significantly(P<0.01), the body weight was markedly decreased (P<0.01),the kidney weight to body weight ratio was significantly increased(P<0.01);the total glomerular volume, near (far) end of a small tube volume, proximal tubule epithelial cell height, near (far) end of the small tube cavity diameter were significantly increased (all P<0.01); the kidney cortical thickness, glomerular volume and diatal tubule epithelial cells had no significant change(P>0.05).Compared with control group, in Changle treatment group the kidney weight, renal cortical thickness and glomerular volume density, glomerular total volume, total vovlume of proximal tubule, near (far) end of the tubular epithelial cell height, near (far) end of tube cavity diameter had no significant difference(P>0.05), but the body weight was significantly reduced (P<0.01), and the kidney weight to body weight ratio,near (far) end of a small tube,and total volume were significantly increased (P<0.01).The HE staining results showed that the kidneys in control and Changle treatment groups were normal, the rat kidney in diabetic model group was swollen;the PAS staining results showed that in diabetic model group most of the proximal tubular epithelial cells were markedly swollen, containing increased PAS positive material, a small number of proximal tubules showed the shedding of epithelial cells, lumen expansion and part of expansion of the distal tubule; however there were no significant changes in epithelial cells;in normal control group and Changle treatment group there were no the changes mentioned above.Conclusion Oral low dose of mixed rare earth Changle can repair structure damage of the kidney of the diabetic rats.
