AIM: To study the antiproliferation of vitamin E succinate (VES) on pterygium fibroblasts in vitro and to find a potential agent for prevention and treatment of primary and recurrence pterygium.METHODS: Primary culture and subculture of pterygium fibroblasts were established in vitro ,and different concentrations of VES (0, 10 and 20mg/L) were added to subcultured fibroblasts, respectively. Influence of VES on the growth curve of fibroblast was observed at day 2, 4 and 7 after treatment of VES. 3- [4,5-Dimethylthiazolzyl]-2,5-Diphenyl Tetrazolium Bromide (MTT) assay at 490nm was used to evaluate the effect of the cells proliferation.RESULTS: The addition of VES to culture caused the marked descent of growth curve in comparison with the control group, and the inhibiting rate of 10 and 20mg/L of VES was 33.2% and 46.7%, 67.9%, and 76.8%, 81.7% at day 2,4 and 7, respectively. VES could obviously inhibit the fibroblast proliferation in dose-dependent manner by MTT assay.CONCLUSION: VES can significantly inhibit the proliferation of pterygium fibroblast in vitro.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the mutation in serum lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2) Ile198Thr, Val279Phe and cerebral infarction in Chinese Han population of Jiangsu Province. Methods One hundred fifty patients with cerebral infarction and 100 healthy controls in Chinese Han population of Jiangsu Province were recruited. The correlation between Val279Phe and Ilel98Thr mutation in Lp-PLA2 gene and cerebral infarction was analyzed using polymerase chain reaction and denaturing high performance liquid chromatography. Results The Val279Phe genotype and the mutant allele frequency in the cerebral infarction group were significantly higher than those in the control group (χ2 were 6. 31and 5. 32, respectively, all P ＜0. 05), and there was no significant difference between the Ile198Thr genotype and the mutant allele frequency in the control group (χ2 were 0. 039 and 0. 037, respectively, all P ＞0. 05). Conclusions The Val279Phe mutation in Lp-PLA2 gene may be a genetic risk factor for cerebral infarction in Chinese Han population of Jiangsu Province.

AIM: To evaluate the protective effects of mycophenolate mofetil on the kidneys of type 2 diabetic rats and discover their mechanisms. METHODS: Wistar rats were divided into three groups, such as normal control rats, diabetic rats, and diabetic rats in the treatment with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF, 15 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 ). Thirteen weeks later, urinary albumin excretory rate (UAE), creatine clearance (Ccr), blood glucose, blood insulin and blood lipid were measured, and kidney pathology was observed. Inmmunohistochemistry was used to analyze the expression of CTGF, ColI and ColⅢ. RESULTS: Mycophenolate mofetil decreased UAE, Ccr and reduced glomerular volume. The expression of CTGF and deposition of ECM decreased after diabetic rats received mycophenolate mofetil. CONCLUSION: Mycophenolate mofetil can protect the kidney of diabetic rats. Its mechanism may be related to the decrease of CTGF expression and extracellular matrix deposition in renal tissue.

Objective To evaluate a modified liver hanging maneuver(retrohepatic tunnel of the IVC) in patients undergoing hemihepatectomy.Methods Twenty-four patients undergoing hemihepatectomy were divided into two groups:modified liver hanging maneuver group(n=12)and Pringle's maneuver group(n=12).The amount of intraoperative bleeding,operation time,postoperative liver function,liver function recovery and complications were compared between the two groups.Reset All operation were performed successfully and there were no difference in the time of operation etween the two groups.There was a difierence in the amount of mean intraoperative blood loss between the two groups.It was(160±40)ml in liver hanging group and(560±120)ml in Pringle's group(P＜0.01).Liver function recovery measured on postoperative day 3 and day 7 was better in liver hanging groupthan that in Pringle's group(P＜0.01).The volume of postoperative peritoneal serous fluid dranage was significantly less in liver hanging group(P＜0.01).Conclusion The modified liver hanging maneuver is useful for hemihepatectomy.

OBJECTIVETo compare the difference in the clinical efficacy on primary trigeminal neuralgia (PTN) between the comprehensive therapy of electroacupuncture (EA) at qi streets acupoints combined with spinal regulation method and medication with carbamazepine (CBZ).

METHODSSixty patients were randomized into a comprehensive therapy group (30 cases) and a medication group (30 cases). In the comprehensive therapy group, the acupoints at qi streets on the head such as Taiyang (EX-HN 5) and Sishencong (EX-HN 1) and those at qi streets on the chest and abdomen such as Shenshu (BL 23), Zhongwan (CV 12) and Guanyuan (CV 4), etc. were selected. After arrival of qi, EA was attached on 2 to 4 groups of acupoints. After acupuncture, the spinal regulation method was applied. This comprehensive therapy was given once a day. In the medication group, CBZ was used for oral administration, 100 mg at the first time, twice a day, and 400 to 600 mg each day as the maintenance dose. Separately, before and after treatment, in 2 and 6 months in follow-up, pain rating index (PRI), life satisfaction index B (LSI-B) and hamilton depression scale (HAMD) were adopted to evaluate comprehensively the clinical efficacy in the two groups and compare the adverse reaction during the treatment between the two groups.

RESULTSAfter treatment, the curative and markedly effective rate in the comprehensive therapy group was 76.7% (23/30), which was better than 63.3% (19/30) in the medication group (P < 0.01). The difference in PRI was not significant after treatment between the two groups (all P > 0.05). In 2 and 6 months follow-up, PRI grade in the comprehensive therapy group was superior to that of the medication group (both P<0. 05). After treatment and in follow-up, HAMD score was all reduced in the two groups (P < 0.01, P < 0.05) and the result in follow-up in the comprehensive therapy group was significant as compared with that in the medication group (all P<0. 05). After treatment, LSI-B score was increased obviously in the two groups (all P < 0.05) and the result in the comprehensive therapy group was better than that in the medication group (P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reaction in the comprehensive therapy group was 16.7% (5/30), which was lower than 30.0% (9/30, P < 0.01) in the medication group.

CONCLUSIONThe comprehensive therapy of EA at qi streets acpoints combined with spinal regulation method achieves the long-term efficacy on PTN as compared with oral administration of CBZ in terms of the improvement of psychological condition, analgesia and life quality. It is the safe, effective and stable therapy.

Background Corneal transplantation is the most reliable and effective means to treat the corneal blindness in the clinical,immune rejection is a major cause of corneal graft failure after the keratoplasty.Objective This study aimed to investigate the role of Tim-1 in the immune reaction following corneal transplantation in rats.Methods Forty clean female Wistar rats were randomized into normal control group,autologous corneal transplantation group and allogeneic corneal transplantation group.Penetrating corneal transplantation was performed with the Wistar rat donors and Wistar rat receipts in the autologous corneal transplantation group,while with the SD rat donors and Wistar rat receipts in the allogeneic corneal transplantation group.The corneal graft diameter was 3.5 mm and the plant bed diameter was 3.0 mm.The inflammatory response of the grafts was examined under the slit lamp microscope 7 days and 14 days after operation and scored based on the criteria of Larkin.Rejection index (RI),mean survival time and survival rate were calculated.The histopathological examination was performed 7 days and 14 days after surgery to evaluate the inflammatory manifestation,and the expressions of Tim-1 protein and mRNA were assayed by immnunochemistry and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR)in the time points mentioned above.Results Mild edema of the grafts were found 7 days after operation in both the autologous corneal transplantation group and the allogeneic corneal transplantation group.In postoperative 14 days,the grafts were clear in the autologous corneal transplantation group,but the thickening,neovacularization and cloudy of the grafts were exhibited in the allogeneic corneal transplantation group.The survival rate of the grafts was 100％ in the autologous corneal transplantation group and that of the allogeneic corneal transplantation group was 0 with the survival time of (9.8±1.2) days.Histopathological examination revealed the stromal infiltration of inflammatory cells in both the autologous and allogeneic corneal transplantation groups in the seventh day,however,the inflammatory cells were obvious decreased in the autologous group but increased in the allogeneic corneal transplantation group in the fourteenth day.Immunochemistry showed a gradually declined positive cells for Tim-1 protein in the autologous corneal transplantation group,but the positive cells were exactly elevated in the allogeneic corneal transplantation group from 7 days through 14 days after operation;While only few positive cells were seen in the normal control group.The expression levels of Tim-1 mRNA in the grafts were 1.24 ± 0.03,5.85 ± 0.08 and 6.54 ± 0.20 in the normal control group,autologous corneal transplantation group and that of the allogeneic corneal transplantation group,respectively,in the seventh day,and in the fourteen day after operation,the expression level declined to 1.54 ±0.10 in the autologous corneal transplantation group and elevated to 8.62±0.24 in the allogeneic corneal transplantation group,showing significant differences among the different groups and various time points (Fgroup =3 277.590,P =0.000 ; Ftime =136.000,P =0.000).Conclusions Tim-1 may play an important role not only in the inflammatory response but also in the rejection reaction of the corneal transplantation.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of rosuvastatin on prognostic of patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) after circumferential pulmonary vein ablation. METHODS:75 patients with paroxysmal AF were divided into observa-tion group(n=39)and control group(n=36)according to the admission single. All patients underwent circumferential pulmo-nary vein ablation antiarrhythmic treatment. Control group orally received warfarin sodium,amiodarone,metoprolol,and sub-cutaneous injected low molecular weight heparin. Observation group additionally received 10 mg Rosuvastatin tablet,qd on the basic of contol group. Changes of cardiac function,inflammatory factors,lipid levels in 2 groups before and after treat-ment were observed,and follow-up results were compared. RESULTS:There was no significant difference in left atrial diame-ter and left ventricular ejection fraction in 2 groups before and after treatment (P>0.05);atrial effective refractory periods (AERP)in 2 groups significantly prolorged,and observation group prolorged more significantly than control group,the differ-ence was statistically significant(P<0.05). Serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein,interleukin-6 48 h and 1 month after op-eration in 2 groups significantly increased,and control group was significantly higher than observation group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05);before operation and after 3 months of operation,there was no significant difference in inflammatory cytokine levels(P>0.05). Triglyceride and low density lipoprotein cholesterol in observation group 1 month after operation significantly decreased, HDL-C significantly increased, there were significant differences (P<0.05). Fol-low-up time was (23.91 ± 5.28) months,AF recurrence was 7.8%,which was significantly lower than control group (13.9%),the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05);and there were no significant differences in ablation-related atrial tachycardia (ATa) and the incidence of adverse reactions between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Rosuvastatin can effectively inhibit the inflammatory reaction and prolong the AERP,thereby reducing the recurrence rate of AF,with good efficacy and safety.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the difference of genotypes in patients with coronary artery disease(CAD)and different responses to clopidogrel. METHODS:Totally 159 CAD patients were selected from cardiology department of our hospital during Mar. 2013-Nov. 2015. They were given clopidogrel+aspirin for dual antiplatelet therapy for at least 1 year. Turbidimetry method was used to detect the percentage of platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and arachidonic acid (AA) before and after treatment. The polymorphism of cytochrome P450(CYP)2C19,CYP3A5,wild type leucine 33 allele(PLA1)/proline 33 al-lele(PLA2)were detected by PCR-RFLP. RESULTS:There were 3 kinds of CYP2C19 genotypes(2/2,2/1,1/1),3 kinds of CYP3A5 genotypes (3/3,3/1,1/1) and 3 kinds of PLA1/PLA2 genotypes (A1/A2,A2/A2,A1/A1);the frequency of each genotype was in line with Hardy-Weinberg balance(P>0.05). Among 159 cases,there were 81 cases of clopidogrelsemi-re-sponse,accounting for 50.9%;78 cases of clopidogrelresponse,accounting for 49.1%. The frequencies of CYP2C19 gene dele-tion(2/2 or 2/1 genotype)and 2 allele in clopidogrelsemi-responsepatients were significantly higher than clopidogrelre-sponsepatients,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The frequencies of PLA1/PLA2 gene deletion(A2/A2 or A1/A2 genotype) and A2 allele in clopidogrelsemi-responsepatients were significantly higher than clopidogrelresponsepatients,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The frequencies of CYP3A5 gene deletion(3/3 or 3/1 genotype)and 3 allele in clopidogrelsemi-re-sponsepatients were slightly higher than clopidogrelresponsepatients,without statistical significance (P>0.05). After treat-ment,the percentage of ADP or AA-induced platelet aggregation in different genotypes patients were significantly lowered,com-pared to before treatment;but the percentage of platelet aggregation in CYP2C19 gene deletion and CYP3A5 gene deletion patients were significantly higher than gene expression patients(1/1 genotype),with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no sta-tistical significance in the percentage of platelet aggregation between PLA1/PLA2 gene deletion patients and gene expression patients (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The incidence of clopidogrelsemi-responsein CAD patients is high. CYP2C19 and PLA1/PLA2 gene polymorphism may be related to clopidogrelsemi-re-sponse,while CYP3A5 gene polymorphism has no relation-ship with it. CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 gene deletion may weaken inhibitory effects of clopidogrel on platelet aggregation of CAD patients.
