Diabetic retinopathy (DR),one of the most serious microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus,leads to the increasing blindness rate,which seriously affects the quality of life in diabetic patients.Although the actual mechanism of DR is not yet completely clear,mounting evidence suggests that the development of DR may be associated with inflammatory processes and inflammatory factors,such as C-reactive protein (CRP),chemotatic factor,adhesion molecule,interleukin,tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),serum amyloid A (SAA).Usage of glucocorticoids,non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs),minocycline and anti-inflammatory factors to inhibit inflammatory process would be a new approach to the treatment of DR.This article reviews the current studies about the effects of inflammatory reaction and inflammatory factor in the pathogenesis of DR,mechanism of suppressing inflammatory response and anti-inflammatory factor in the treatment of DR.

Objective: To observe the histomorphology/pathology changes and the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in drowning rats brain, in an attempt to explore new pathways for treatment of water drowning. Methods: The animal model of freshwater drowning was established with rats. The rats were randomly divided into the following groups: control group, drowning-to- death group and 2 min-drowning group (including 5 subgroups survived for 3, 6, 12, 24, and 40 hours after being drowned in water for 2 min [n=10]). Brain indices of rats in each group were detected and the pathological changes of cerebral tissues were observed; the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF were detected immunohistochemically and the correlation between them was analyzed. The dynamic blood oxygen saturation was detected in rats survived for 40 h after 2 min-drowning at different points. Results: Brain index of the drowning group and groups surviving for 24, 40 hours after drowning were obviously higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Brain indices of the drowning-to-death group and the 24 h, 40 h survival groups were obviously higher than that of the control group; and those of the 3 h, 12 h survival groups were obviously lower than that of the drowning-to-death group but higher than that of the normal control group (P<0.05). The blood oxygen saturation was (59=5)% immediately after drowning and then gradually increased and reached the normal level after 12 h. The cerebral edema appeared 3 h after drowning and was gradually aggravated from 12 h to 24 h after drowning, then slightly relieved 40 h after drowning. There was no expression of HIF-1α in the control group and lower expression in drowning-to-death group; the expression of HIF-1α gradually increased with the increase of drowning period and reached peak 12 h after drowning(P<0.05); the expression of VEGF had a similar pattern to HIF-1α. The expression of HIF-1α was positively correlated with that of VEGF(r=0.629,P<0.05). Conclusion: Freshwater drowning can cause serious cerebral injury. The brain can be protected from oxygen deficiency by promoting synthesis of HIF 1α and subsequent upregulation of VEGF expression.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of laparoscope and open repair on treating upper gastrointestinal(UGI) ulcer perforation.MethodsRetrospective analysis was performed in consecutive series of 143 patients undergoing UGI ulcer perforation repairing.Among the total 143 patients,98 cases underwent laparoscope repair(laparoscope group),45 cases were with open repair (open group).The operation methods included either simple interrupted suture or pedicled omental patch.Postoperative management of triple therapy included proton pump inhibitor,β -lactam antibiotics and arilin was conducted.Therapeutic effects were compared between two groups.ResultsOperating time in laparoscope group was significantly longer than that in open group [ ( 83.88 ± 19.67 ) min vs.( 63.33 ± 12.06) min,P ＜ 0.01 ].Time of passage of gas by anus,hospital stay,cost of hospitalization and postoperative dosage of opiates in laparoscope group were significantly lower than those in open group [ (29.45 ± 9.24) h vs.( 46.40 ± 49.21 )h,(6.92 ± 1.06) d vs.(7.71 ± 2.48 ) d,(6929.39 ± 832.40) yuan vs.(7546.67 ± 1393.92) yuan,(5.7 ±8.3 ) mg vs.( 10.9 ± 9.5 ) mg,P＜ 0.01 ].There was no significant difference between two groups in perforated diameter,perforated position and flushing dose of abdominal cavity (P＞ 0.05 ).The rate of complication was 14.29％ (14/98) in laparoscope group,while 26.67％ (12/45) in open group,there was no significant difference between two groups (P＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionsLaparoscope repair of UGI ulcer perforation is a safe and feasible procedure compared with open repair.Although operating time of laparoscope repair is longer than open repair,the rate of complication does not increase.

Objective To study the immunomodulation effects of different dosage of dexmedetomidine (Dex)in the septic shock model of rats after cecal ligation and puncture (CLP).Methods After CLP, 48 wistar rats were randomly (random number)allocated in four groups:(1)CLP group;(2)small-dose Dex group [2.5 μg/(kg·h)];(3)medium-dose Dex group [5.0 μg/(kg·h)];(4) large-dose Dex group [10.0 μg/(kg·h)].HLA-DR (human leukocyte antigen-DR)and plasma cytokine (IL-4, IL-6,IL-10 and TNF-α)were measured,meanwhile mean arterial blood pressure (MAP),heart rate (HR)and mortality were also documented at 1,3,and 5 h after the CLP procedure.Results There were no obvious differences in HLA -DR level,levels of inflammatory mediators,MAP and HR among there Dex treatment groups.Compared with CLP group,HLA-DR level decreased in three Dex treatment groups (P =0.020)and pro-inflammatory mediator (IL-6)increased at 3 h (P =0.011 )then declined at 5 h with decreased HR (P <0.01),and without obvious change in MAP (P =0.124),and all of them led to a significantly decrease in the mortality.The mortalities in CLP group,small dose group,medium dose group and large dose group were 91.7%, 66.7%, 25.0% and 18.0%, respectively. Conclusions Dexmedetomidine used in rats with septic shock rats partially induced immunomodulation initiated within 5 h after CLP evidenced by decreased HR,maintenance of MAP and reduction of mortality rate in dose-dependent fashion.

Objective To investigate the effects of angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ ) and angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor antagonist (AT1RA) on the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) synthesis and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) mRNA expression of in vitro cultured hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Methods HSC-T6 rat hepatic stellate cell line was selected as the study model of the activated hepatic stellate cells. Cultured HSCs were randomized into control group, Ang Ⅱ group, AT1RA group and Ang Ⅱ AT1RA group. Cell culture medium was used to detect the TGF-β1 level by ELISA method. HSCs were harvested to measure the TIMP-1 mRNA expression by RT-PCR. Results TGF-β1 level of control group, Ang Ⅱ group and AngⅡ AT1RA group in cell culture medium was (7.531 ±0. 654) pg/mL, (9. 855± 1. 485)pg/mL and (7.719 ± 0.329) pg/mL respectively, Ang Ⅱ group higher than control group (P ＜ 0.05 ), Ang Ⅱ AT1RA group lower than Ang Ⅱ group (P ＜ 0. 05 ). TIMP-1 mRNA expression level of control group, Ang Ⅱ group and Ang Ⅱ AT1RA group in HSCs was 3. 387 ± 0. 042, 4.870 ± 0.061 and 3. 837 ± 0. 042 respectively, Ang Ⅱ group higher than control group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ), Ang Ⅱ AT1RA group lower than Ang Ⅱ group (P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion AngiotensinⅡ can increase the TGF-β1 synthesis and TIMP-1 mRNA expression of hepatic stellate cells, while all these effects are inhibited by angiotensinⅡ type 1 receptor antagonist.
