Objective Experimental autoimmune anterior uveitis (EAAU) is a useful model for human anterior uveitis. The purpose of this study was to observe whether EAAU development could be prevented by anterior chamber-associated immune deviation (ACAID). Methods Bovine melanin protein (BMP) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was injected into the anterior chamber of the right eye of rats; control animals were injected with PBS alone. Seven days later, all animals were immunized with BMP in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) and pertussis toxin. The severity and incidence of uveitis was monitored by clinical examination and histopathology. The delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses were evaluated by footpad swelling elicited by injection of BMP.Results Rats intraocularly injected with BMP showed a reduced severity and incidence of EAAU, and significantly suppressed DTH response compared to control rats.Conclusion These data suggest that the ACAID procedure can be utilized to prevent the development of EAAU.

AIM:To determine whether the vitreous cavity (VC) is capable of supporting the induction of deviant immune response to retinal soluble (S) antigen and to observe the influence of interleukin-1 (IL-1) on the immunologic properties of the VC. METHODS: Retinal S antigen was inoculated into the anterior chamber (AC) and VC in Wistar rats. Seven days after antigen inoculation, the recipient animals were immunized with S antigen and complete Freund's adjuvant. Delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) was then assessed by footpad challenge. To alter systemic immune conditions, IL-1 was administrated by intraperitoneal injection. RESULTS: Antigen-specific DTH did not develop in rats in which S antigen was injected into the AC and the VC. In contrast, strong DTH was elicited by S antigen injected into the AC and VC if IL-1 was administrated systemically for 7 consecutive days after the antigen challenge. CONCLUSION: The VC is capable of supporting immune deviation to soluble antigen by actively suppressing antigen-specific DTH. Systemic administration of exogenous IL-1 eliminates the capacity of the VC to support immune deviation inducing by soluble antigen injected locally.

Objective:To investigate the effect of heavy ion beam on the invasion and metastasis associated gene RhoC expression in tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca8113 cells. Methods:Real-time PCR and Western-blot were used to detect the expression of RhoC mRNA and RhoC protein respectively after Tca8113 cells were irradiated by heavy ion beams of 12 C6+. Results:The expression levels of RhoC mRNA in the experimental group were lower than that in the control group(P<0. 05) except for the levels at 12 h after 2 Gy and 4 Gy 12 C6+ irradiation. In addition, the expression levels of RhoC protein increased in a dose-dependent manner at 12 h af-ter irradiation, reaching a peak at 4 Gy, and subsequently decreased with the increase of irradiation dose. The expression level of RhoC protein was consistent with that of RhoC mRNA. Conclusion:Heavy ion beam of 12 C6+ may inhibit RhoC gene expression in Tca8113 cells.

Objective To assess the efficacy of Sevoflurane-Remifentanil anesthesia in pediatric fiberoptic bron-choscopy (FOB) compared with a Propofol-Remifentanil regimen. Methods 60 children scheduled for fiberoptic bronchoscopy were randomly divided into two groups ( = 30 in each group): In group S, patients received Sevoflu-rane inhalation and intravenous infusion with Remifentanil. In group P, patients received total intravenous anesthesia with Propofol and Remifentanil. Standard laryngeal mask airways (LMA) were inserted into all children in two groups after anesthesia and fiberoptic bronchoscopy was carried out via LPA. MAP, HR, SpO2, PETCO2 and BIS were record-ed before anesthesia (T0, baseline), before FOB (T1), 2 min after FOB (T2). Then assess the effect of general anesthe-sia. Procedure time, recovery time and incidence of adverse events were also recorded. Results HR, MAP and SpO2 at T1 and SpO2 at T2 in group P were significantly lower than those in group S. PETCO2 at T1 and MAP, HR, PETCO2 at T2 in group P were significantly higher than those in group S. Better quality of anesthesia, less respiratory depression, and less interruption needed during procedure were found in group S. Conclusion Compared with Propofol-based to-tal intravenous anesthesia, Sevoflurane inhalation via laryngeal mask combined with intravenous Remifentanil pro-vides a superior profile in pediatric fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
