Acta Anatomica Sinica 1953;0(01):-
Objective To investigate the intervening effects of Ganoderma spore on the decrease of cell proliferation and neuronal survival in the hippocampus of fetal and postnatal rats induced with gestational hypertension. Methods Fourty SD pregnant rats were divided into four groups including the control group,Nw-nitro-L-arginine methylester(L-NAME)+distilled water(DW) group,L-NAME+L-Arginine group and L-NAME+Ganoderma spore(GS) group.The hippocampal tissue of the brain was detected by immunohistochemistry,Western blotting,RT-PCR,flow cytometry and electron microscopy. Results After the application of L-NAME,the expressions of hypoxia inducing factor-1?(HIF-1?) and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) were increased at the hippocampus of E21 brain and continued up to P30 brain.The microvessel density of E21 hippocampus was increased and the structural abnormalities of blood capillary at P30 hippocampus were showed.The cell proliferation was decreased at E21 hippocampus and so was the neuronal number at P30 hippocampus.With the administration of Ganoderma spore,HIF-1? and VEGF were down-regulated at E21 hippocampus and were not detected at P30 hippocampus.The microvessel density of E21 hippocampus reached a normal level and the blood capillary ultrastructure of P30 hippocampus was restored.The cell proliferation of E21 hippocampus and neuronal number of P30 hippocampus were recuperatively increased.Conclusion Ganoderma spore may prevent the decrease of cell proliferation and neuronal survival in the hippocampus of fetal and postnatal rats induced with gestational hypertension.

Background Hypoxia is an important cause resulting in many retinal diseases,such as retinal edema,diabetic retinopathy,proliferative retinopathy and so on.ObjectiveThis study is to investigate the effects of hypoxia on the expression of AQP-4 in Müller cells in vitro.MethodsMüller cells were isolated from New Zealand white rabbits and primarily cultured in DMEM containing 20% fetal bovine serum by the explant culture method.The cells were identified by immunostaining for the glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP).Generation 2 of cells was cultivated with the chemical hypoxia inducer,CoCl_2,for 24 hours in the hypoxic group and only with DMEM in the control group.The expression of the AQP-4 protein in Müller cells was detected by immunocytochemistry.The expression of AQP-4 mRNA was determined by semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).ResultsAbout 90% of Müller cells(generation 2) presented a positive immunoreactivity for GFAP,showing a brown staining in the cytoplasm.Cultured cells displayed the presence of intermediate filaments,microvillus and various cellular organs.The Integralabsorbance of the AQP-4 protein in Müller cells was markedly increased 24 hours after incubation with CoCl_2 in comparison with the control group (t=6.74,P<0.05).The expression level of AQP-4 mRNA in Müller cells was significantly enhanced 24 hours after incubation with CoCl_2 in comparison with the control group (t=21.79,P<0.05). ConclusionHypoxia enchances the expression of AQP-4 in Müller cells and further increases fluid accumulation in the retina.These results suggest that Müller cells play an important role in the formation of retinal edema in diabetic retinopathy or proliferative retinopathy.

Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2018;49(21):5061-5069
Objective To optimize the preparation technology of transcription activator (TAT) and polyethylene glycols (PEG) co-modified tilianin-loaded composite phospholipid liposome (TAT & PEG tilianin CPL, T&PTCPL) and investigate its protective effect on cardiomyocytes. Methods The composite phospholipid liposome was prepared by thin film-ultrasonic method. A three- factor, three-level Box-Behnken experimental design was employed. The weight ratio of total phospholipid to tilianin (X1), the concentration of DSPE-PEG2000-TAT (X2), and hydration volume (X3) were observed. The encapsulation efficiency (Y1), particle size (Y2), and polydispersion coefficient (Y3) were evaluated to optimize optimal formula. In addition, hypoxia/reoxygenation model was established with Na2S2O4 in H9C2 cells. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, malonaldehyde (MDA) level and release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) were assessed to evaluate the effect of T&PTCPL, meanwhile, the in vitro release rate (dynamic dialysis method) and absorption rate of tilianin and T&PTCPL in Caco-2 cell were examined. Results The optimal formula was as following: X1 = 20, X2 = 1.7%, and X3 = 3.2 mL; The encapsulation efficiency was (86.62 ± 2.51)%, particle size was (149.7 ± 8.2) nm and PDI was 0.15 ± 0.05. Compared with model group, T&PTCPL and tilianin groups increased SOD activity, inhibited level of MDA, LDH and CK-MB leakage (P < 0.05), and the effect of T&PTCPL group was better than tilianin group, meanwhile, T&PTCPL was completely released at 48 h, with a cumulative release of 88.65%, and Caco-2 cells had better absorption of T&PTCPL. Conclusion The Box-Behnken design is suitable for optimizing the formulation of T&PTCPL, and the observed responses are in close agreement with the predicted values of the mathematic models; Moreover, T&PTCPL shows a better sustained release effect in vitro release, which promots the absorption of tilianin in Caco-2 cells and suggests that T&PTCPL may have protective effect on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury.

In order to investigate the effects of TGF-beta1 on the expression of MMP-2, -9 and TIMP-1 in human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, the third-sixth passage cultured RPE cells were treated with TGF-beta1 at different concentrations (0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10 ng/mL), the expression of MMP-2, -9 and TIMP-1 mRNA was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR assays. MMP-2, -9 and TIMP-1 mRNA were expressed in the cultured RPE cells. The values of MMP-2/beta-actin in the cells treated with 0.1, 1.0, 10 ng/mL TGF-beta1 were 1.04 +/- 0.04, 1.07 +/- 0.02 and 1.11 +/- 0.03, respectively, significantly higher than in the control group (0.96 +/- 0.03, P < 0.05-0.01). The expression of MMP-2 mRNA could be up-regulated by TGF-beta1, in a dose-dependent manner. The expression of MMP-9 mRNA in the cultured RPE cells was slightly up-regulated by various TGF-beta1 concentrations treatment. The values of TIMP-1/beta-actin in the cells treated with 0.01 and 0.1 ng/ mL TGF-beta1 were 0.85 +/- 0.01 and 0.97 +/- 0.02 respectively, significantly lower than in the control group (1.07 +/- 0.04, P < 0.01), indicating that the expression of TIMP-1 mRNA was down-regulated by TGF-beta1 at low concentrations. But along with the increase of TGF-beta1 concentrations (1.0 and 10 ng/mL), the expression of TIMP-1 mRNA was slightly up-regulated, not significantly different from that in the control group (P > 0.05). It was concluded that TGF-beta1 might play an important role in the up-regulation of the expression of MMP-2 in RPE cells and result in a directional shift in the balance between MMP and TIMP. This may be facilitated for RPE cells to migrate in the pathogenesis of vitreoretinopathy.

Abstract?AIM: To analyze the effects of femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery ( FLACS ) in the treatment of cataract and its effect on prognosis.?METHODS:Forty-two cases (42 eyes) of patients with cataract who were treated in the Department of Ophthalmology in our hospital between January 2012 and December 2014 were selected as the study objects. According to the order of treatment, they were divided into control group and observation group, 21 cases in each. The control group was treated with traditional phacoemulsification cataract surgery ( PCS ) . On the basis, the observation group was treated with femtosecond laser. The effective phacoemulsification time (EPT), cumulative dissipated energy (CDE), fluid flow and monitored pressure of the two groups were recorded.The rate of corneal endothelial loss and the situation of Tyndall phenomenon were statistically analyzed.The two groups were followed up for 1a.The long-term visual acuity recovery was observed.The best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) was recorded, and the long-term complications were statistically analyzed.?RESULTS: 1 ) The total response rate in observation group was 95% while in control group was 90% ( P>0.05);2) the surgery time of the observation group was longer than that of the control group ( P<0.05) but EPT was shorter than that of the control group.CDM and liquid flow were less than those of the control group ( P<0.05 ); 3 ) at 1d after surgery, there was no significant difference in intraocular pressure between the two groups (P>0.05); the rates of Tyndall phenomenon and corneal endothelial loss in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05);4) BCVA of the two groups at different time after surgery were significantly higher than that before surgery (P<0.05). However, at 1d, 3mo, 6mo and 1a after surgery, BCVA of the observation group was better than that of the control group ( P <0.05 ); 5 ) the incidence of complications in the observation group after surgery (14%) was lower than that in the control group (43%) (P<0.05).?CONCLUSION: The surgical effects of FLACS in the treatment of cataract are good.After surgery, the visual acuity of patients is improved significantly and the incidence of postoperative complications is low. However, the surgery time is long and cost is high, so it is difficult to popularize.

AIM:Titanium-Nickel shape memory alloy(TiNi-SMA) has memory,abradability and good biocompatibility. It has different osteotomy methods and biomechanics from routine distraction osteogenesis. In this study,the dog models of mandibular defects were established to explore the effect of TiNi-SMA distractor with different osteotomy methods on mandibular distraction osteogenesis. METHODS:The experiment was performed at the animal experimental center of Sun Yat-sen University from October to December 2005. ①Eight male adult Beagle canines of 12-14 kg were selected. A 1.5 cm?1.0 cm bone defect was made in bilateral mandible of each dog. The same size transport bone disc was created mesially by osteotomy on left side and corticotomy on right side. TiNi-SMA distractor was implanted to repair defect. ②One,four,and seven days,and nine weeks after operation,the canines were radiographed for histological analysis and bone formation was observed. RESULTS:Eight dogs were all included in the final analysis. ①Gross observation found the wounds healed well without infection in all experiment dogs. ②X-ray examination showed the bone transport disc on the right side of corticotomy moved to defect area gradually after operation and filled defect area on the whole on the 7th day after operation;The bone transport disc dislocated 1 day after operation and separated from defect area totally on the 7th day after operation on the side of osteotomy(left side). ③ Histological examination demonstrated bone formed in accordance with intramembranous ossification in distraction zone and bony connection between the transport disc and mesial mandible on right side;On the left side,there was a big defect at the area of both distraction and defect zone because of dislocated bone transport disc,and no obvious new bone regeneration was found. CONCLUSION:Corticotomy can be used to establish a successfully canine model of mandibular distraction osteogenesis.
