The internal limiting membrane (ILM),composed of collagen fibers,glycosaminoglycans,laminin and fibronectin,is the basement membrane of the retinal Müller glia cells and serves as an interface between the vitreous and retina.The ILM is the structural interface between the vitreous and retina.ILM removal ensures separation of the posterior hyaloid from the macular surface,which can relieve macular traction and prevent postoperative epiretinal membrane formation.Thus,vitrectomy with ILM peeling has become an increasingly utilized and vital component in surgical intervention for various vitreoretinal disorders.However,many recent studies showed that ILM peeling is a procedure that can cause immediate traumatic effects and progressive modification on the underlying inner retinal layers.There were some surgical strategy (fovea-sparing ILM peeling or inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique,or Abrasion Technique).But some controversies exist,such as when ILM peeling is necessary,which adjuvant to use to perform the procedure,and what is the best technique to peel the ILM.A full assessment ILM structure and function and related factors of surgery is helpful to predict the anatomical and functional prognosis.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of the treatment of neodymium-yttrium aluminum garne (Nd:YAG) vitreolysis for the anterior vitreous opacity after implantation of intraocular lens.MethodsForty-nine eyes of 47 patients with the anterior vitreous opacity after implantation of intraocular lens received the slit lamp examination, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and B-scan. The anterior vitreolysis and posterior capsulotomy were performed simultaneously with Nd:YAG laser. The outcomes of visual acuitiy changes and complications were studied. ResultsIn 49 eyes, 46 had anterior vitreous opacity associated with posterior capsule opacification, and the other 3 without obvious posterior capsule opacification. In all patients, the visual acuity improved significantly without any complications after the laser procedure (t=32.50, P=0.007). After Nd:YAG laser treatmen, transparent area was found in anterior opaque vitreous in 21 eyes (42.86%) within 15 minutes, and in 47 eyes (95.92%) within 24 hours. No complication occured in or after the operation. ConclusionsIn the patients with visual deterioration after implantation of intraocular lens, the prescence of anterior vitreous opacity should be concerned. Opening the opaque anterior vitreous with Nd:YAG vitreolysis is effective for the patients with the anterior vitreous opacity after implantation of intraocular lens.

Objective To estimate the effect of tretinoin gel sheeting on early-stage hyperplastic scars in rabbit ears,and to evaluate the feasibility to prevent and treat hyperplastic scars with it.Methods The ears of 24 rabbits were used to establish a model of hyperplastic scar according to previously reported methods.Then,the rabbit ears were randomly divided into four groups:control group receiving no treatment,gel sheeting group treated with the vehicle of the tretinoin gel sheeting,0.05％ tretinoin group treated with 0.05％ tretinoin gel sheeting,0.1％ tretinoin group treated with 0.1％ tretinoin gel sheeting.All the gel sheetings were topically used twice daily for six consecutive weeks.During the treatment,the size,thickness,color and texture of scars were estimated.After six weeks of treatment,all the scar tissues were resected from the rabbit ears and subjected to hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and van Gieson (VG) staining.Statistical analysis was carried out by analysis of variance and rank sum test.Results The scars were deeply colored,thickened,hard and elevated with an uneven surface in the control group,but lightly colored,thinned and soft with the presence of small subcutaneous nodules in the other three groups.The surface of scars in the two tretinoin groups was similar to that of adjacent normal skin,and scaling was observed on the scar surface in the 0.1％ tretinoin group.HE and VG staining showed a disarrangement of collagen fibers with the formation of vortex-like structures in the control group.A significant decrease was noted in the number of fibroblasts and microvessels as well as amount of collagen deposition per unit cross-sectional area in the two tretinoin groups compared with the control group and gel sheeting group.Additionally,the collagen fibers were regularly arranged and parallel to the long axis of scars in the two tretinoin groups.The scar hyperplasia index (HI) was 3.173 ± 0.26,2.465 ± 0.19,1.906 ± 0.21 and 1.903 ± 0.23 in the control group,gel sheeting group,0.05％ tretinoin group and 0.1％ tretinoin group respectively,the fibroblast density (NA) was 5836.7 ± 527.03,4128.73 ± 387.66,3207.59 ± 439.17 and 3200.28 ± 421.48 respectively,and the area density of collagen fiber (AA) was 45.38 ± 5.83,36.57 ± 6.84,28.09 ± 3.82 and 28.07 ± 3.47 respectively.As far as HI,NA and AA were concerned,the control group differed significantly from the other three groups (all P ＜ 0.01),and the gel sheeting group from the two tretinoin groups (all P ＜ 0.01),but no significant difference was observed between the two tretinoin groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Topical tretinoin gel sheeting can inhibit scar proliferation at early stage in rabbit ears,and may provide a new choice for the prevention and treatment of hyperplastic scars.

Objective To explore the clinical value of transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound(TV-CDS)in the detection of blood flow changes within the ovarian stromal artery in patients with ovarian endometriosis.Methods Blood flow indices within the ovarian stromal artery were measured by TV-CDS in 60 patients and60 normal controls.Results In ovarian endometriosis group,TV-CDS examination showed the color signal pattern was dot-like with high-resistance ovarian stromal arterial flow which manifested significant higher resistance index(RI),pulsatility index(PI)and systolic/diastolic(S/D)ratio than those in normal group(P<0.01).Analysis on clinicopathologic data showed that cystic history and diameter were risk factors affecting the absence of ovarian stromal blood signal,while cystic history,diameter and category were associated with the significant difference of blood flow display area(P<0.05).Conclusions TV-CDS can be used as a non-invasive,convenient and sensitive method for assessing blood flow changes within the ovarian stromal artery,indicating ovarian interstitial damage as well as pathological conditions of ovarian endometriosis that contributes to clinical diagnosis and treatment.

To develop a safe and efficient recombinant subunit vaccine to foot-and-mouth disease virus(FMDV)type Asia 1 in sheep,a tandem repeated multiple-epitope gene consisting of residues 137-160 and 197-211 of the VP1 gene of FMDV was designed and artificially synthesized.The biologically functional molecule,the ovine IgG heavy constant region(oIgG)as a protein carrier was introduced for design of the multiple-epitope recombinant vaccine and recombinant expression plasmids pET-30a-RE and pET-30a-RE-oIgG were successfully constructed.The recombinant proteins,RE and RE-oIgG,were expressed as a formation of inclusion bodies in E.coli.The immune potential of this vaccine regime in guinea pigs and sheep was evaluated.The results showed that IgG could significantly enhance the immune potential of antigenic epitopes.The recombinant protein RE-oIgG could not only elicit the high levels of neutralizing antibodies and lymphocytes proliferation responses in the vaccinated guinea pigs,but confer complete protection in guinea pigs against virus challenge.Although the recombinant protein RE could not confer protection in the vaccinated animals,it could delay the appearance of the clinical signs and reduce the severity of disease.Inspiringly,the titers of anti-FMDV neutralizing antibodies elicited in sheep vaccinated with RE-oIgG was significantly higher than that for the RE vaccination.Therefore,we speculated that this vaccine formulation may be a promising strategy for designing a novel vaccine against FMDV in the future.

Skeletal muscle extracellular matrix (ECM) is the microenvironment for muscle cells to survive and function. Changes in ECM components and structure directly affect the activity and function of muscle cells. Pathological remodeling occurs to skeletal muscle ECM in insulin resistance, including collagen deposition, hyaluronan accumulation, activation of membrane protein integrin signaling path-way, and the imbalance of matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases, while all those would impair the tissue insu-lin sensitivity.
