Acta Anatomica Sinica 1957;0(04):-
Using immunocytochemical method and image analysis computer system, quantitative analysis of substance P (SP) containing nerve fibers and neurons in the nucleus of dorsolateral funiculus (NDLF) was studied in the rat spinal cord. Under light microscope, in the white substance of the whole length of the spinal cord, a concentrated triangular or cuneiform area of SP-immunoreactive positive fibers and cells could be observed in the NDLF region. Using the image anlysis computer system (IBAS 2000) the outline of the whole SP stained area in the NDLF was drawn with a light point of the Mouse and this whole area was measured and named as the reference area (REFAREA). We selected the optimal gray level of the image in NDLF region by the Interactive Segment as the threshold. The sum of the SP labelled areas was called the field area (FAREA). The ratio of the FAREA to REFAREA (AREA%) represented the percentage of density to area of the SP labelled substance in NDLF. The mean value of REFAREA, FAREA, and AREA% are: 47931.38?m~2, 21995.25?m~2, and 45.89% in the cervical segments; 31575.15 ?m~2, 7646.85?m~2, and 24.22% in the thoracic region; 26889.89?m~2, 8470.66?m~2, and 31.50% in the lumbar and sacral segments, respectively. In short, according to the density of SP positive fibers and neurons in NDLF and the size of their distributive area, the sequence of density and size from highest to lowest is: cervical, lumbar, sacral and thoracic segments, with the lowest one at thoracic 8-10 segments.

Acta Anatomica Sinica 1955;0(03):-
HRP solution was injected into the right side of the thoracic spinal cord of the rat with a micropipette to observe the neurons which give rise to the descending propiospinal tract. Labeled neurons were distributed throughout the bilateral Rexed's laminae Ⅰ-Ⅹ of the spinal cord in the segments rostral to the site of HRP application. The greatest number of the labeled cells were consistently found in lamina Ⅶ (including the intermediolateral nucleus), and then in laminae Ⅷ and Ⅳ. Our results verified the existence of the nucleus of the dorsolateral funiculus and its intraspinal connections in the spinal cord of the rat. This nucleus gives rise to the descending projections to the lower spinal segments.

20?10~9/L. This regimen was given for one course for induction, and was followed by conventional chemotherapy as maintenance or consolidation when complete remission(CR) achieved, or succeeding with other treatment when no response could be observed. Results Six patients achieved CR (54.5%) and one achieved partial remission (PR)(9.1%) with one course of treatment. Among 6 of 11 patients with CR, 5 relapsed at 2,3,6,8 and 16 months respectively. Three relapsed patients were retreated with the same protocol but achieved only one partial responses. Nine of the 11 patients had been died and their mean survival (since induction chemotherapy) was 9.2 months. Infectious complications during cytopenia were less serious than conventional chemotherapy withno treatment-related.Conclusion This moderate intensity protocol with G-CSF priming is effective and safe but remissions are of short duration.

Objective To understand how Vibrio vulnificus hemolysin (VvhA) affects the viability of murine liver CD4+ T cells as well as its effects on the numbers of mitochondria and the expression of CD62L. Methods The primary murine liver monocytes (MNs) were isolated from C57BL/ 6 mice and then treated with recombinant VvhA (rVvhA) for 6 hours in vitro. The viability of murine liver CD4+T cells and the expression of CD62L were measured by staining with anti-mouse CD4, CD8, CD44, CD62L and cell via-bility fluorescent dye or fluorescent antibody. Moreover, the cells were simply incubated with MitoTracker or JC-1 probes to label mitochondria and mitochondrial membrane potential, which were further analyzed by using flow cytometry analysis. Results With the increase in the doses of rVvhA, the viability of murine liv-er CD4+T cells was decreased from 81. 5% to 15. 8% . The expression of CD62L on the surface of murine liver CD4+T cells was dramatically decreased. Both the murine liver na?ve and effector CD4+ T cells were sensitive to the cytotoxicity of rVvhA. Moreover, treating murine liver CD4+ T cells with rVvhA resulted in significantly decreased numbers of mitochondria and lower mitochondrial membrane potential. Conclusion The cytotoxicity of rVvhA to murine liver CD4+T cells might be achieved through inhibiting the expression of CD62L, decreasing the numbers of mitochondria and lowering mitochondrial membrane potential.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of conbercept in the treatment of different types of diabetic macular edema (DME).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From March 2019 to March 2021, 136 eyes of 136 patients with DME diagnosed in Department of Ophthalmology of Xi'an No.3 Hospital were included in the study. Among them, there were 65 males and 71 females; the average age was 56.65±8.65 years. All patients underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination, and glycosylated hemoglobin level (HbA1c) examination. Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study visual acuity chart was used for BCVA examination, which was converted into the logarithmic minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity during statistics. An OCT instrument was used to measure the central retinal thickness (CRT) of the macula. According to the characteristics of OCT, DME was divided into diffuse retinal thickening (DRT) type, cystoid macular edema (CME) type, serous retinal detachment (SRD) type, mixed type, and grouped accordingly, respectively, about 30, 38, 33, 35 eyes. There was no significant difference in age ( F=1.189), sex ratio ( χ2=1.331), and HbA1c level ( F=3.164) of the four groups of patients ( P>0.05). All eyes were treated with intravitreal injection of 10 mg/ml conbercept 0.05 ml (including conbercept 0.5 mg) once a month for 3 consecutive times, and then treated as needed after evaluation. BCVA and OCT examinations were performed 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment with the same equipment and methods as before treatment. The changes of BCVA and CRT before and after treatment were compared and observed. For measurement data subject to normal distribution, one-way analysis of variance was performed for comparison between groups; χ2 test was performed for comparison of count data. Results:Before treatment, the logMAR BCVA of the eyes in the DRT group, CME group, SRD group, and mixed group were 0.68±0.11, 0.69±0.15, 0.71±0.12, 0.73±0.14, and CRT was 631.4±50.7, 640.6±55.7, 652.3±63.4, 660.4±61.8 μm. Compared with before treatment, 1, 3, 6 months after treatment, DRT group (BCVA: t=8.139, 11.552, 11.672; CRT: t=16.163, 21.653, 25.855), CME group (BCVA: t=8.923, 9.995, 13.842; CRT: t=16.163, 21.653, 25.855), SRD type group (BCVA: t=5.171, 7.315, 6.051; CRT: t=9.099, 13.731, 21.306), mixed type group (BCVA: t=5.072, 6.939, 7.142; CRT: t=6.920, 15.352, 17.538) The BCVA of the affected eyes was significantly increased, and the CRT was significantly decreased, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). At 6 months after treatment, the differences in logMAR BCVA and CRT of the 4 groups of eyes were statistically significant ( χ2=58.478, 64.228; P<0.05). The average number of injections in the eyes of the DRT group, CME group, SRD group, and mixed group were 3.37±1.35, 3.68±1.38, 4.18±1.40, 4.13±1.50 times, respectively. Compared with the average number of injections in the eye, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=9.139, P=0.028). Conclusions:Conbercept can effectively reduce CRT and increase BCVA in eyes with different types of DME. Compared with SRD type and mixed type, DRT and CME type eye are more effective in improving vision, CRT reduction degree is greater, and the number of injections is less.

Objective:To observe the correlation between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).Methods:From October 2016 to December 2018, 50 cases of CSC patients (CSC group) and 50 healthy people (control group) matched by age and sex who were diagnosed in the ophthalmological examination of Xi’an No.3 Hospital were included in the study. According to the course of the disease, CSC was divided into acute phase and chronic phase, with 20 and 30 cases respectively. The average age ( Z=1.125) and body mass index (BMI) ( Z=0.937) of the two groups were compared, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05); the age of patients with different courses of CSC ( Z=1.525) and gender composition ratio ( χ2=0.397) and BMI ( Z=1.781) were compared, the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The Berlin questionnaire was used to assess the OSAS risk of subjects in the CSC group and the control group; polysomnography was used to monitor the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and minimum blood oxygen saturation (MOS) during night sleep. OSAS diagnostic criteria: typical sleep snoring, daytime sleepiness, AHI (times/h) value ≥ 5. The severity of OSAS was classified as mild OSAS: 5≤AHI<15; moderate OSAS: 15≤AHI <30; severe OSAS: AHI≥30. Non-normally distributed measurement data were compared by rank sum test; count data were compared by χ2 test. Spearman correlation analysis was performed on the correlation between OSAS and CSC. Results:The AHI data in the CSC group and the control group were 17.46±3.18 and 15.72±4.48 times/h, respectively; the MOS were (83.48±4.68)% and (87.40±3.82)%, respectively; those diagnosed with OSAS were respectively 36 (72.00%, 36/50) and 13 (26.00%, 13/50) cases. AHI ( Z=0.312), MOS ( Z=0.145), and OSAS incidence ( χ2=21.17) were compared between the two groups of subjects, and the differences were statistically significant ( P=0.028, 0.001,<0.001). The AHI of acute and chronic CSC patients were 15.95±3.02 and 18.47±2.92 times/h; the MOS were (86.10±11.07)% and (81.73±4.58)%, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in AHI ( Z=0.134) and MOS ( Z=0.112) in patients with different course of disease ( P=0.005, 0.001). The results of Spearman correlation analysis showed that OSAS and CSC were positively correlated ( r=0.312, P=0.031). Conclusion:OSAS may be a risk factor for the onset of CSC.
