Objective To study correlation of the retinal nerve epithelium layer thickness measured with different optical coher-ence tomography (OCT) in vivo with histological measurement. Design Experimental study. Participants 15 rabbit eyes. Methods The retina measurement position of 15 rabbit eyes were marked by laser, and then were scanned by OSE-1800 OCT and Stratus OCT. Reti-nal nerve epithelium layer thickness was measured in retinal histological shdes of rabbit eyes. The results measured with three methods were compared and linear regression analyses were done with SPSS11.5 software. Results The average retinal nerve epithelium layer thickness measured with OSE-1800 OCT, Stratus OCT and histological method were 119.5±7.4, 118.0±5.6, and 116.3±8.8μm respec-tively(P=0.292). Retinal nerve epithelium layer thickness measured with both OCT instruments had the best correlation (r=0.914, P= 0.000), and the thickness measured with Stratus OCT and histological method had the better correlation (r=0.872, P=0.001), and the thickness measured with OSE-1800 OCT and histological method had the significant correlation (r=0.833, P=0.002). Conclusions The retinal nerve epithelium layer thickness measured with different OCTs in vivo correlate well with histomorphometry, and the measure-ment of both OCT instruments are accurate.

Objective To investigate the effect of berberine on growth and apoptosis of human cervical cancer cell line HeLa and its possible mechanism.Methods The effect of berberine on growth of HeLa cells was studied by MTT assay.Apoptosis of HeLa cells exposed to berberine was observed by flow cytometry and DNA gel electrophoresis.The expression of Bax and Bcl-2 was studied by Western blotting analysis.Results Berberine markedly inhibited the proliferation of HeLa cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner.After incubation of HeLa cells with 20 and 40 mg/L berberine for 48 h,DNA Ladder can be observed.A typical "sub-G1 peak" was checked by flow cytometry.There was a very low rate of natural apoptosis(1.9?0.6)%,while in 5 mg/L berberine group,the apoptosis rate was(2.3?0.8)%.After exposing HeLa cells for 48 h to 20 and 40 mg/L berberine,the apoptosis rate reached(16.7?2.8)%(P

Objective To investigate clinical manifestations and clinical diagnosis and treatment and pathological and immunohistochemical features in gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Methods The clinical data of fifty-two cases with gastrointestinal stromal tumors were collected, whose clinical diagnosis and treat-ment and pathological features were retrospectively analyzed from January 1995 to December 2007. Results All patients received operation therapy, only forty-five cases with complete surgical resection. The immu-nohistochemical staining showed that the cases with CD117 positive accounted for 100% (52/52) and CD34 positive accounted for 88.5% (46/52). Conclusions Surgery was necessary for all patients, especially complete surgical resection. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors were poor in preoperative diagnosis, which diag-nosis was based on the immunohistochemical staining of the tumor tissue. CD117 and CD34 tumor markers may help to diagnose gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the effect of polysaccharide from Fructus corni ( PFC) on cardiomyocytes against hypoxia/reoxygenation ( H/R) injury and its possible relationship with ROS/PKC/p38 MAPK pathway.METHODS:Prima-ry cardiomyocytes were isolated from neonatal SD rats and randomly divided into normal group, H/R group, PFC (20 mg/L, 100 mg/L and 200 mg/L) preconditioning+H/R groups, chelerythrine+PFC (100 mg/L)+H/R group and SB203580+PFC (100 mg/L)+H/R group.The cell viability was measured by inverted microscopic observation.Apoptosis in the car-diomyocytes was detected by Hoechst 33258 staining and fluorescence microscopy.The levels of lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH) and superoxide dismutase ( SOD) in the cell culture supernatants, and the reactive oxygen species ( ROS) in the cells were also measured by microplate reader.The protein levels of PKC, p-p38 MAPK and HSP70 in the cells were detec-ted by Western blotting.RESULTS:Compared with normal group, the cell viability and beating frequency were decreased in H/R group.LDH and ROS contents, apoptotic rate and p-p38 MAPK level increased significantly (P<0.01).Compared with H/R group, PFC preconditioning increased beating frequency, SOD activity and the protein level of PKC and HSP70, and decreased ROS production, the protein level of p-p38 MAPK and cell apoptotic rate.However, the effect of PFC was in-hibited by chelerythrine or SB203580.CONCLUSION:PFC may protect cardiomyocytes from hypoxia/reoxygenation injury. Its mechanism is possibly involved in the inhibition of ROS via increasing the activity of SOD and the activation of PKC, and suppression of excessive activation of p38 MAPK.

Objective To review the clinical features of fulminant myocartitis,in order to provide assistance to the clinical management.Methods The clinic data of 183 patients with viral myocarditis,including 153 cases of acute myocarditis and 30 cases of fulminant myocarditis admitted in our hospital during January 2008 and Dec 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.The age of onset,interval after virus infect,initial symptoms,auxiliary examination,treatment,and turnover were compared in the study.Results The average onset age of fulminant myocartitis and acute myocarditis were similar [(22.3 ± 7.6) vs.(26.2 ± 12.6) years,P =0.105 5].There was a significant difference between the two gourps in the rate of patients with a explicit history of virus infection [30.0％ (9/30) vs.78.4％ (120/153),x2 =28.3,P ＜0.001],the average interval after virus infect [(3.1 ±2.2) vs.(7.0 ±3.80) d,P＜0.001] and the length of hospital stay [(12.1 ± 6.9) vs.(6.9 ± 4.50) d,P ＜ 0.001].Chest congestion (101/153,66.0％),feebleness (76/153,49.7％),fluster (74/153,48.4％) are the most onset symptoms of acute myocarditis,while chest congestion (24/30,80.0％),shortness of breath (14/30,46.7％),feebleness (13/30,43.3％) in flunimant myocarditis.Advanced A-V block (19/30,63.3％),cardiogenic shock (18/30,60.0％),ventricular arrhythmia(16/30,53.3％),Adams-Stokes syndrome(8/30,26.67％) and acute renal failure (8/30,26.7％) were the most complications of flunimant myocarditis.Temporary pacemaker (11 cases),extracorporeal memberane exygenator (7 cases) and intra-aortic balloon pump (7 cases) were applied in critical patients.In acute phase,21 cases were cured,9 cases was dead of cardiogenic shock and ventricular(27,30.0％).Two dead cases applied with ECMO because of delay.After leaving hospital,1 case was implanted permanent pacemaker,2 cases became chronic myocarditis and required hospitalization repeatedly.Conclusions The fulminant myocarditis has a rapid onset,most of which has no prodrome of virus infection or a shorter interval than acute myocarditis.Timely and effective mechanical circulatory support is critical for fulminant myocarditis.

OBJECTIVETo discover and identify differentially expressed genes associated with colorectal adenoma formation and the role of RegIV in colorectal adenoma differentiation.

METHODSA subtracted cDNA library was constructed with cDNAs that were isolated from either the normal mucosa or adenoma tissue of a single patient. Suppressive subtractive hybridization (SSH) combined with virtual northern blotting was used to characterize differentially expressed genes and contigs were assembled by electronic cloning (in silico cloning) with the EST database. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was performed in 9 colorectal adenomas.

RESULTSThe amino acid sequence was determined with open reading frame (ORF) prediction software and was found to be 100% homologous to the protein product of RegIV (a novel gene isolated from a large inflammatory bowel disease library). RegIV was found to be highly expressed in all of the adenoma samples (9/9) compared with the normal mucosa samples, while 5/6 cases showed RegIV to be more strongly expressed in adenocarcinoma.

CONCLUSIONRegIV may play an important role in the initiation of colorectal adenoma differentiation, and its detection may be useful in the early diagnosis of colorectal adenoma formation.
