The fibrovascular membrane of proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)cause severe damage to the structure and function of eye.The pathogenesis and development of fibrovascular membrane are associated with muhipie cellular factors,such as transforming growth factor(TGF),connective tissue growth factor(CTGF),basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF),tumor necrosis factor(TNF),extracellular matrix(ECM),matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs),endothelin and chemotactic factor,etc..So,the molecular mechanism of fibrovascular membrane of PDR is extremely complex.The relationship of pathogenesis on the fibrosis of PDR to cytokines,extracellular matrix,MMPs and other factors were summarized.

Aim To examine the protective effects of allopregnanolone against seizure on different animal models.Methods The protective effects of allopregnanolone against maximal electrical seizure (MES) and picrotoxin-induced seizure were studied in C57 mice 15 minutes after vehicle or drug intraperitoneal administration.Results In the MES test, we found that pretreatment with the phenobarbital or allopregnanolone produced a dose-dependent protective effect against seizure. The potency (ED50 value) of phenobarbital in the MES test was 2.40 mg?kg-1, with 95% confidence interval range from 1.22 to 4.72 mg?kg-1. The potency (ED50 value) of allopregnanolone in the MES test was 0.086 mg?kg-1, with 95% confidence interval range from 0.037 to 0.201 mg?kg-1, which was significantly higher than that of phenobarbital (P

Objective To investigate the effects of hemoglobin concentration on portal hypertension associated with hyperdynamic state.Methods According to blood hemoglobin level below or above 110g/L,55(nontreated) portal hypertension patients were divided into anemic and nonanemic groups,and the relevant(hemodynamic) and clinical data were examined and analyzed retrospectively.In order to avoid the effects of differences in hepatic function,data were analyzed separately according to the Child class.Results(Compared) to the nonanemic group,the anemic group had markedly increased cardiac output [(7.4?(1.7L))/min vs(6.3?1.9L)/min,P=0.028] and increased free portal pressure [(29.1?3.1)mmHg vs(26.8?3.3)mmHg,P=0.012],and a markedly decreased mean arterial pressure [(84?10.7)mmHg vs(97.1?12)mmHg,P
