Ocular neovascularization,abnormal formation of new vessels from pre-existing capillaries,is a special pathologic change of many ocular diseases,including diabetic retinopathy and retinopathy of prematurity,etc..Ocular neovascular diseases comprise the common causes of blindness in millions of people.Recent studies showed that kringle domains from many endogenous proteins inhibit the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells in vitro and neovascular formation in vivo.Hence kringle domain with conservative structure has been considered as a potential inhibitor of neovascularization.The update studies on antiangiogenic kringle domains and its inhibition on ocular neovascularization were summarized.

0.05) respectively in groupC1-C4,while in groups T1-T5,the rates were 21%,28%,36%,40%,37.5% ( P 0.05).However,the differentiation rate of MSCs increased probably with the incubation time prolonged.During the procedure of MSCs differentiation,the expression pattern of some genes such as GATA4 and cTNT may make some difference.

Objective:To observe the tansdifferentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) into cardiomyocyte in a coculture system with cardiomyocytes.Methods:Newly born Wistar Rats' cardiomyocytes were isolated and cultured and the cells were labeled with DAPI.Prepared MSCs were planted into the cardiomyocytes dishes to establish a co-culture system.Supernatant liquid of the cardiomyocytes or fibroblast was added the MSCs(non-labeled) dishes as the control. After one week of coculture,fluorescence microscope observation and immunocytochemical staining with cTnT was performed to evaluate the phenotype changes in non-labeled MSCs.Results:MSCs and cardiomyocytes were connect with each other by net in culture plate after a few days of coculture;some non-labeled cells were positively stained by cTnT antibody while the MSCs cultured with cardiomyocytes or fibroblast supernatant liquid were stained negatively.Conclusion:To obtain cardiomyocyte phenotype in vitro,direct contact of MSCs with cardiomyocytes is essential.The signaling molecules induce MSCs' transformation into cardiomyocytes are likely some membrane proteins on the surface of cardiomyocytes.

This paper argues that the core idea of evidence-based medicine is to “follow the evidence”,whose essence is a model of clinical medical service,and a guiding ideology for the clinical practice.It has become a proper noun nowadays.The wording “evidence-based medicine teaching method”needs discussion, because “evidence-based medicine” and “teaching method” are lack of logical internal relations in concept.The teaching method of scientific sense has its own characteristics and requirements.To name a teaching method,it is necessary to define its peculiar connotation in teaching method,with specific procedures and steps to form a complete set of scientific method of teaching.

The research methods, such as philology of medicine history and comparison between tradition and modern and so on were adopted in this article to study the acupuncture-moxibustion development after western medicine spreading to the East in Japan and its main transition under the impact of western medicine. The results showed that from Meiji to Showa period, under the influence of western medicine, the transition of Japanese acupuncture-moxibustion mainly embodied in following three aspects, incuinng acupuncture works absorbing western medicine knowledge, applying experiment measures to explore acupuncture principle and launching acupuncture teaching in accordance with Europe and America academy educational pattern. The changes on acupuncture works, teaching materials and methods of researching and teaching have triggered the transition and transformation of Japanese acupuncture-moxibustion from tradition to modern.

BACKGROUND: Multipotent differentiation ability enables mesenchymal stem cells from autologous bone marrow to differentiate into osteoblasts and chondroblasts, thereby promoting the formation of bones and cartilage. However, the osteogenic ability differs from each other, and whose osteogenic ability is the best still needs to be studied further. OBJECTIVE: To compare the osteogenic ability of fascia- and muscle-derived stem cells in rats. METHODS: Fascia- and muscle-derived cells were isolated from 20 rats, followed by flow cytometry sorting, and were then cultured. FDC-LacZ cells were transfected with retro-BMP4 virus twice. Afterwards, the transfection efficiency of fascia-derived cells was detected through LacZ and alkaline phosphatase staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with fascia-derived cells, muscle-derived cells showed stronger chondrogenic ability and produced more calcium deposition. These findings indicate that the osteogenic ability of muscle-derived cells is superior to that of fascia-derived cells in rats.

Cancer-related fatigue survivors have been found to have lower morning serum cortisol levels, flattened diurnal cortisol cy-cles, and decreased cortisol responses to psychological stress. The mechanism may be related to the inflammation caused by disorder of hy-pothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, and there are also some evidences to support that cortisol can be used to reduce cancer-related fatigue. This study introduced the research progress of the relationship between cancer-related fatigue and hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis.

Objective:To develop an Online Game Cognitive Distortions Scale(OGCDS) and examine its applicability in Chinese adolescents.Methods:A pretest was given to 117 middle school students to determine a 17-item version of OGCDS.A sample of 495 middle school students were required to complete OGCDS,Internet Game Cognition Addiction Scale and Young's Internet Addiction Disorder scale.Reliability and validity of OGCDS were analyzed.Results:①The retest reliability,split-half and Cronbach's ? reliability coefficients of the total scale were 0.753,0.827 and 0.904,respectively.②Scores of the total scale and each subscale were both significantly correlated with scores of IGCAS and IAD scale at 0.01 levels (r=0.540～0.728;r=0.283～0.413).③Four factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis,explaining 72.626% of the total variance;the load of each item varied from 0.490～0.886.④Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that standard measurement model fit data well:?2=141.586,NFI=0.909,IFI=0.952,CFI=0.952,RMSEA=0.063.Conclusion:Reliability and validity of OGCDS is corresponded with psychometric standard.

Objective To investigate the effect of hypertensive perfusion which induced by norepinephrine on the TNF-α and IL-6 in serum and the activity of Na~+-K~+-ATPase in lung tissue and to observe the morphology of lung tissue. Method Ten domestic pigs were suffered from ventricular fibrillation for 4 minutes and applied cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The pigs they were divided into two groups. Hypertensive perfusion group( n = 5) :the mean arterial pressure, which induced by norepinephrine was maintained as 130% as baseline for 4 hours; nor-real perfusion group( n = 5) : the mean arterial pressure was maintained as baseline for 4 hours, too. Hemodynamic parameters was observed, blood samples were extracted to detect the TNF-α and IL-6 in serum at the time of baseline, 10 min, 2 h and 4 h after successful resuscitation. The expression of Na~+ -K~+ -ATPase in lung tissue and the change of ultrastmeture and pathology in lung tissue was detected at 24 h. All values were analyzed by student' s t test. Results There was no influence on hemodynamic parameters except the blood pressure and heart rate in hypertensive perfusion group. The release of TNF-α and IL-6 were reduced(P < 0.01 ) and the activity of Na~+-K~+ -ATPase was upgraded in hypertensive perfusion group. Hypertensive perfusion could play a protective role on the morphology of alveolar cell. Conclusions Hypertensive perfusion which induced by norepinephrine could reduce the release of inflammatory cytokines, upgrade the activity of the Na~+-K~+-ATPase, decrease the consumption of surfactant and have an important protective effect on lung tissue.

ObjectiveTo test the susceptibilities of Candida albicans to 5 antifungal agents including methylrosanilinium chloride and to estimate their relationship with the genotypes of C.albicans.MethodsThe susceptibilitiesof 67C.albicansisolatestomethylrosaniliniumchloride, fluconazole, amphotericinB,itraconazole and ketoconazole were determined by using a broth dilution method as described in the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards(NCCLS) document M27-A2.DNA was extracted from the C.albicans isolates and subjected to the amplification of 25S ribosomal DNA(rDNA) introns by PCR.The C.albicans isolates were divided into A,B and C genotypes according to the amplicons.The relationship was analyzed statistically by exact probability test between the genotypes and antifungal susceptibility of C.albicans.ResultsOf the 67 C.albicans isolates,8.96％ were resistant to fluconazole,2.98％ to itraconazole,1.49％ to ketoconazole,and no resistance to amphotericin B was observed.The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of methylrosanilinium chloride varied from 0.125 to 4 mg/L.Statistical analysis revealed no significant correlation between the genotypes and autifungal susceptibilities of C.albicans(all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions More attention should be given to the increasing resistance to fluconazole and itraconazole in some isolates of C.albicans as well as to the favorable antifungal activity of methylrosanilinium chloride.The antifungal resistance shows no apparent correlation to the genotypes of C.albicans.
