International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2016;38(10):918-921
Objective To investigate the effects of Rehmannia glutinosa polysaccha-rides (RPS) on myocardial apoptosis of rats after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods The experimental rats were randomly devided into sham operation group, model group, RPS low, medium and high-dose group, Danshen tablets group, 20 rats in each group. All the rats were performed the coronary occlusion operation except the sham operation group. And then, the rats in RPS low, medium and high-dose groups were given RPS 10, 20, 40 mg/kg by intragastric administration;the rats in Danshen tablets group were given Danshen tablets suspension 260 mg/kg;the rats in sham operation group and model group were given the equal volume of saline;once a day for 4 weeks. The areas of myocardial infarction were analysised by TTC staining;the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes was observed by TUNEL and the apoptosis index(AI) were calculated;the expression of bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3 were detected by IHC and were semi-quantitative analysised. Results Compared with the model group, the areas of myocardial infarction (31.7% ± 6.1%, 22.8% ± 5.5% vs. 43.9% ± 6.7%) and the apoptosis index (44.6%± 6.7%, 32.8%± 5.4%vs. 59.4%± 9.0%) in RPS medium and high-dose group (RPS 20, 40 mg/kg) significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The expression of bcl-2 (0.40 ± 0.09, 0.45 ± 0.08 vs. 0.26 ± 0.05) significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), the expression of Bax (0.55 ± 0.11, 0.28 ± 0.08 vs. 0.85 ± 0.13) and caspase-3 (0.11 ± 0.03, 0.08 ± 0.02 vs. 0.16 ± 0.03) significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the ratio of bcl-2/Bax (0.73 ± 0.05, 1.61 ± 0.20 vs. 0.31 ± 0.08) significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusions RPS had inhibition effects on myocardial apoptosis after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats, which may be related to its effects of enhancing the ratio of bcl-2/Bax and down regulating the expression of caspase-3.

Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2007;0(08):-
Objective:To assess the clinical setting of a heavy silicone oil tamponade(Densiron-68) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD).Methods:Twenty-nine eyes of 29 consecutive patients were recruited between December 2007 and February 2009.Primary vitrectomy with Densiron-68 was used in all cases.Patients to be selected had two groups:one group had 18 cases,mean age was 72.5 years.These patients were impossible prone because of ages and body factors.Among these of 11 cases had macular holes and posterior pole part holes,another of 7 cases had many holes.Another group had 11 cases,mean age was 45.8 years.These patients with inferior complex rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with secondary proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR) were included.Besides one case of giant retinal tear with between 2 and 7 clock hours,among these of 7 cases had one or two scleral buckling procedure,or pars plana vitrectomy with oil endotamponade.But inferior recurrent retinal re-detachment appeared.Surgical techniques included pars plana vitrectomy,membrane peeling,heavy water application,endophotocoagulation,cryocoagulation,endotamponade et al.Results:1or 13-month follow up,mean 4.3-month.Densiron-68 removal with 25 cases was after operation of 2 months,and didn't remove of 4 cases.After Densiron-68 removal,majority showed a stable reattached retina without further interventions,while,in one or two patients,recurrent retinal re-detachment appeared during Densiron-68 removal.Some of patients had partly lens opacification or lens post-capsular opacification.Part of patients had ocular hypertension.Conclusion:With Densiron-68,high anatomical and functional success rates can be achieved with inferior complex rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.Heavy silicone oil tamponade improves inferior tamponade,and may be considered a new generation of intraocular tamponades.But there were a significant early emulsification.Despite adequate Densiron fills,emulsification necessitated its removal.
5.Effects of high glucose concentration on MMP-2 expression and cell cycle in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells
Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2007;0(08):-
Objective:To examine the effects of glucose on the expression of matrix metalloproteinases-2(MMP-2)and the changes of ultramicrostructure,cell cycle in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells.Methods:Human umbilical vein endothelial cells(hUVEC)were incubated in a culture medium with 11.2mmol/L,16.8mmol/L and 33.6mmol/L glucose concentrations for 24h,48h,72h respectively.The expression of MMP-2 was measured by RT-PCR and Western-blot.Results:When D-glucose concentrations rose,hUVEC exposed to high glucose concentration(11.2mmol/L,16.8mmol/L and 33.6mmol/L)increased in cell expression of MMP-2 after 48 h and 72 h of exposure,as compared with those cultured in medium with a low glucose concentration(5.6mmol/L).And cell cycle changed too.Conclusion:High concentration of glucose can arrest the proliferative response and show that even a short-term exposure of endothelial cells(ECs)to high glucose concentration leads to their activation associated with increased expression of MMP-2 and that this effect may appear more significantly along with time of exposure to high concentration of glucose.

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2009;16(4):623-624
Objective To study the outcome of pregnancy with lupus nephritis. Methods The clinical data of 9 pregnancies with lupus nephritis were retrospectively malyzed. Results Hypertension,proteinuria,injured renal function and abnormal serological marker were complicated with nine patients with lupus nephritis in pregnancy. The outcome of pregnancy was as following:abortion 2 cases,stillbirth 1 case,premature delivery 4 cases,term delivery 2 cases. All neonate survived without malformation. There was no postpartum hemorrhage or death. Patients with active SLE had very high fetal mortality( 100% ). And SLE got worsen in 50% of them. However,fetal mortality rate in pa-tients with controlled or quiescent SLE was 11.1% ,which was much lower than it in other patients(P<0.05). Con-clusion Lupus nephritis should be controlled before pregnancy. Pregnancy outcome could be improved by careful multidisciplinary monitoring and proper usage of adrenal cortical hormone.
