1.The creation and study of an inherited congenital cataract model in rats
Ophthalmology in China 1993;0(01):-
We used the teratogen 5-hromodeoxy- uridine(BRDU)in the creation of a model of inherited congenital cataract in Wistar rats.The highest rate of impregnation(81%) of the rats was observed during the period oestrus.The frequency of occurrence and the density of the congenital cataract in the F1 generation varied with the dosage of BRDU,and the frequency of the cataract in the F2 generation was positively correla- ted with the dosage of the drug.The crea- tion of this inherited congenital cataract model may be useful in exploring the etio- logy of the cataract and its prevention and treatment.

3.A contrastive research on bFGF expression in retinas of rd mouse and C57BL mouse
Recent Advances in Ophthalmology 2017;37(5):411-414
Objective To compare the expressions of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in retinas of rd mouse (the experiments) and C57BL mouse (the controis) of five different postnatal ages,analyze the similarities and differences of bFGF expressions,and conclude the role of bFGF during the key period that retinas developed or degenerated,Methods Eight rd mice and eight C57BL mice of postnatal 0 week,1 week,2 weeks,3 weeks,4 weeks (PN 0,1,2,3,4 W) were chosen stochastically and executed immediately,their eyeballs were excavated and made into the retinal slices,then the bFGF contents in the retinas were analyzed by immunohistochemical method,photomicroscope and semi-quantitative analysis.Results Change characteristic of the curve of bFGF contents in retina of rd mice was similar to that of C57BL mice.Both curves began to fall after born,which reached each low level at PN-1W and then rose until reaching each peak at PN-2W,at which ten layer structures of retinas in both groups were formed.Then both curves began the second fall till PN-4W.During the last two weeks,retinas of C57BL mice degenerated rapidly while retinas of rd mice continued to mature.For all the five postnatal weeks,the bFGF contents in retinas of rd mice were lower than those of C57BL mice evidently.All statistical analysis of the difference have made sense distinctly (P < 0.01).Couclusion bFGF may play a protective role in the developing to maturation and sustaining of retinal structure,and the higher expression of bFGF content may prevent retinal degeneration in some extent.

Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2017;35(1):17-21
Background Retinal transplantation is a new approach to the treatment of retinal degeneration diseases,and how to avoid or reduce the immune rejection after transplantation is a problem.In experimental studies on retinal transplantation,C57BL/6 mice are often used as donors and rd mice serve as recipients.Studies showed that Fas ligand (FasL) protein induces the apoptosis of Fas+ inflammatory cells by FasL/Fas signal pathway,speculating that FasL protein is associated with immune rejection after transplantation.Objective The aim of this study was to investigate FasL protein expression change in retinas of C57BL/6 mice and rd mice with aging and reveal the immune characteristics of the mouse retinas.Methods The frozen sections of eyeball from C57BL/6 mice and rd mice at the age of postnatal (PN)-0 week,PN-1 week,PN-2 week,PN-3 week and PN-4 week were prepared.The expression of FasL protein in the mouse retinas was examined by immnofluorescense technique.Images were acquired by fluorescence microscope and analyzed semi-quantitively by software from laser scanning confocal microscope as the fluorescence intensity (FI).The results were compared among different strains of mice.Results The retina developed imperfectly in PN-1 week C57BL/6 mice and FasL protein was positively expressed in the whole retina.In PN-2,3 and 4 week C57BL/6 mice,retinas finished the development with 10 layers,and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE),inner segment (IS),outer limiting membrane (OLM),outer plexiform layer (OPL),inner nuclear layer (INL),inner plexiform layer (IPL) and ganglion cell layer (GCL).Retinal structure and expression of FasL protein in the whole retina of rd mice in the PN-1 week were similar with C57BL/6 mice,however,ONL cells of rd mice were evidently decreased with aging.The RPE,OPL,INL,IPL and GCL expressed the FasL protein in PN-2,PN-3 and PN-4 week rd mice.The mean FI of FasL protein in the RPE layer was 184.199±16.747,186.797±7.904 and 184.319± 18.795 in rd mice of PN-2 week,PN-3 week and PN-4 week,which were significantly higher than 160.402±22.851,160.995 ±22.799 and 105.787 ± 17.676 in C57BL/6 mice (t =-3.360,P =0.002;t'=-4.277,P =0.000;t =-12.175,P=0.000).There were not significant differences in the mean FI of FasL protein in IPL between C57BL/6 mice and rd mice at ages of PN-2 week,PN-3 week and PN-4 week (all at P>0.05).Conclusions The cells of retinal ONL are gradually decreased with the development of rd mice,and FasL protein expression intensity in RPE is evidently enhanced in rd mice compared with C57BL/6 mice.

Objective To investigate the changes of cellular configuration and polarized characteristic of visual pigment during the development of rod cells of neonatal calf in vitro. Methods Retinal cells of neonatal calf were dissociated and cultivated for 10, 20, 30 and 40 days in vitro were used for immunocytochemical analysis. Retinal rod cells were identified by rho4D2 antibody. The configuration of positive cells and rhodopsin molecular distribution were analysed at different cultivated time. The immuno-reactivity of positive cells was measured by image analysis system. Results The rho4D2 immuno-reactive cells included small round cells without protuberance and the cells with protuberance at the peak. At the 10th day after cultivation, the visual pigment immunoreaction was suffusive in the whole cell membrane and apical process; while at the 30th and 40th day, it gathered at the membrane of apical process or one pole of the cells. The results of quantitative analysis showed that the immunoreactive intensity of positive cells at the 20th day after cultivation was stronger than that at the 10th day; while there was no significant difference among the immunoreactive intensity at the 20th, 30th, and 40th day. Conclusions Rod cells at the 30th and 40th day after cultivation have the polarized characterization and visual pigment molecular distribution with high level of expressive ability of protein, which are mature neurons.

Objective To explore the effects of drugs on functions of mitochondria in retinal nerve cells, and to lay a foundation of the investigation of drug protection for retinal nerve cells. Methods Cultivation of the retinal nerve cells of 8 eyes of neonatal calves was performed. The changes of fluorescent density of the mitochondria of cultured cells labeled by dye rhodamine 123 (Rh123) before and after the activation of the medicines, including ferulic acid (FA), arginine, glycine, taurine, vitamine E and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) respectively, were detected by laser-scanning confocal microscopy. Results FA with the concentration of 500 ?g/ml led the diphasic variation of the fluorescent intensity of mitochondria. After scanning for 60.772 seconds when treated with FA firstly, the fluorescent intensity decreased rapidly (from 45.425?4.153 to 22.135?5.293); while after 112.774 seconds when treated secondly, the intensity increased obviously (from 19.655?4.383 to 28.247?4.764), and after 168.773 seconds when treated thirdly the intensity still increased. After scanning for 56.457 seconds when treated with vitamin E (12.5 mg/ml), the fluorescent intensity increased obviously (from 88.255?5.039 to 111.273?4.529), which suggested that vitamin E with the concentration of 12.5 mg/ml strengthen the fluorescent intensity. After scanning for 58.147 and 134.148 seconds when treated with BDNF (50 ng/ml) respectively, the fluorescent intensity increased obviously (from 69.115?5.038 to 77.225?5.131) which suggested that BDNF with the concentration of 50 ng/ml led the increase of the fluorescent intensity. Glycine (2.5 mg/ml) and arginine(30 mg/ml) didn't affect the fluorescent intensity of mitochondria, and taurine (6.25 mg/ml) caused the appreciable decrease of the fluorescent intensity. Conclusion FA, BDNF and vitamin E may promote the metabolism of retinal nerve cells via the path of mitochondria, while amino acids may adjust the activation of retinal nerve cells through other ways.

Objective To study on the ultrastructural characteristic of segments of photoreceptors from neonatal retinas for supporting donor retina choice of retinal transplantation. Methods Photoreceptors from neonatal calf and adult calf were analysed by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Results Segments of photoreceptors from neonatal calf appeared the mushroom pattern, in which, distal end of outer segment which was ball shaped formed the head with mushrooms appea rance, and the inner segments along with some of outer segments formed the body with mushrooms appea rance. Within the outer segment, plasma membranes of adjacent evaginations form a disk subsequently. The array of most disks were vertical to the entire length of segments, but some were parallel and slope to. Owing to the incomplete formation, some rim of disk near distal end of outer segment revealed step shaped appearance. The distal end of outer segment displays some processes consisted of membranous discs, much vesicular material and mitochondria, much rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and numerous polysomes. Segments of photoreceptor connected with outer nuclear layer via the external limiting membrane. Conclusion The typical morphological structures of outer segments suggest the immature and strong gowth ability of photoreceptors of the retina of neonatal calf, and therefore the competence for donor material of retinal transplantation.
