Objective:To study the effects of ascorbic acid on BMP-2 mRNA expression of osteoblast cell sheets.Methods:Rat os-teoblasts were primaryly cultured and identified;osteoblast cell sheets were built by physical scraping method in vitro;the osteoblast cell sheets were cultured with 1 5,50 and 85 mg/L ascorbic acid for 1 and 2 weeks respectively,and the expression of BMP-2 mRNA of the cell sheets was detected by RT-qPCR.Results:The obtained cells were conformed to be osteoblasts.The osteoblast cell sheets could be rolled into tube in vitro.The expression of BMP-2 mRNA of osteoblast cell sheets in experiment group,whether in week one or week two was higher than that in control group,50 mg/L group showed the highest expression(first week P <0.05;second week P>0.05);the expression of any group in week two was higher than that in week one(P <0.05).Conclusion:Ascorbic acid may pro-mote the expression of BMP-2 mRNA in osteoblast cell sheets.

OBJECTIVETo test expression of carbonic anhydrase II (Ca II) mRNA in osteoclasts which were applied with fluid shear stress.

METHODSThe bone marrow cells of Sprague-Dawley rats were cultured with the presence of 1,25-(OH)2D3 and dexamethasone. The osteoclast-like cells were identified by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP) staining and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation, then purified with trypsin/ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). Different values and lasting time of steady fluid shear stress were exerted on the osteoclasts with parallel plate flow system. The Ca II expression of osteoclasts were detected by real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and nested polymerase chain reaction(PCR).

RESULTSThe levels of Ca II mRNA were down-regulated correspondingly with the increase of stress and time (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONIt's indicated that steady fluid shear stress within a certain range may down-regulate the expression of Ca II in osteoclasts.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of plasma exchange(PE) in the treatment of autoimmune hemolytic anemia in children.Methods:The data from 8 hospitals in China during November 2014 to April 2017 were collected, and the clinical characteristics of PE in children with AHA were analyzed retrospectively.Results:A total of 21 children with AHA were included in the study, including 17 cases from PICU and 4 cases from pediatric kidney ward, with 11 boys and 10 girls, and the median age was 3.64(0.25, 11.10)years old, and median hospital stay was 12(4, 45)days.There were 15 cases(71.4%) with infection, 2 cases(9.5%)with autoimmune diseases, 4 cases(19.0%) with unknown.Consciousness disturbance occurred in 4 patients before replacement and recovered to normal after PE.The volume of blood decreased in two cases(9.5%) and completely relieved.There were 20 cases of anemia (95.2%), 15 cases were normal after PE, and 5 cases were improved.Jaundice occurred in 18 cases (85.7%), 12 cases were normal after PE, 6 cases were improved.Hepatosplenomegaly was found in 11 cases, 10 cases were normal after PE, 1 case was improved.After PE, the hemoglobin and red blood cell count increased, while the total bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, urea nitrogen and lactate dehydrogenase decreased, there were significant differences between pre-and post-replacement ( P<0.05). Only 1 case had allergic reaction, which was improved after symptomatic treatment, and PE was continued.After PE, 2 cases (9.5%) had complete remission, 16 cases (76.2%) had partial remission and 3 cases (14.3%) had been discharged. Conclusion:PE therapy can obviously improve the clinical symptoms and laboratory indexes of children with AHA who have failed to respond to conservative treatment.It can be used as a treatment measure for children with severe AHA and has a good safety.

AIM: To investigate the efficacy and safety of ZKY001 eye drops with different concentrations in the treatment of corneal epithelial defects(CED)after primary pterygium excision.METHODS: This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial. From March 15, 2022 to November 14, 2022, patients with primary pterygium who had undergone surgery were recruited from 12 tertiary hospitals across China. Using block randomization, 178 patients(178 eyes)were randomly assigned to 3 groups in a 1:1:1 ratio: 0.002% ZKY001 group(n=59), 0.004% ZKY001 group(n=59), and placebo group(n=60, receiving ZKY001 sham eye drops). Subjects in each group received 1 drop of the study drug 4 times per day for 4 d. The percentage of CED area recovery from baseline, the first complete healing time of CED area, the number of first complete healing cases of CED, and changes in visual analogue scale(VAS)scores for eye discomfort including eye pain, foreign body sensation, tearing and photophobia were observed.RESULTS: In terms of improvement in CED, there were no statistically significant differences among the three groups including the first healing time of CED, the percentage improvement in CED area compared to baseline, and the percentage of first healing cases at different follow-up visits(all P>0.05). Numerically, the first healing time of CED was shorter in the test groups compared to the placebo group(67.87±21.688 h for the 0.002% ZKY001 group, 61.48±22.091 h for the 0.004% ZKY001 group, and 68.85±20.851 h for the placebo group). On D1 morning, the percentage improvement in CED area compared to baseline was maximally different from the placebo group, and the numerical difference advantage was maintained at subsequent follow-up visits. The number of first healing cases in the CED area at different follow-up visits was higher in the test groups than the placebo group. In terms of improvement in ocular discomfort, the total VAS scores were lower in the test groups compared to the placebo group, mainly due to reductions in foreign body sensation and pain scores. At D3, the 0.004% ZKY001 group showed statistically significant improvement in foreign body sensation(P<0.017). In terms of safety, the overall incidence of adverse events was low(9.0%)and similar among groups.CONCLUSION: The use of ZKY001 eyedrops after primary pterygium surgery can safely improve the CED repair, and alleviate postoperative symptoms caused by CED.
