AlM:To investigate the features on prolonged central serous chorioretinopathy ( CSCR ) by optical coherent tomography ( OCT ) and to provide the basis of deciding the pathogenetic condition and prognosis. METHODS: Eighty - five patients who had been diagnosed with CSCR were grouped by suffering time as below: 32 patients suffered longer than 6mo as the prolonged and 53 patients with CSCR cured within that time. The imaging features of OCT were compared between the above groups.RESULTS:The incidence rate of neuroepithelial serous detachment extent above 500μm associated with pigmentary epithelial detachment in suffering eye and pigmentary epithelial damage in contralateral eye was significantly different between two groups. However, the incidence rate of neuroepithelial serous detachment extent above 4 000μm was not significant difference.CONCLUSlON:OCT could display clearly the change of every layer of retina with simplicity and visibility, which supplies us a new horizon to diagnose and trace CSCR. We could decide the pathogenetic condition and prognosis in accordance with the features of OCT, to provide references for the diagnosis and treatment of CSCR.

The purpose of the study is to construct R8 peptide (RRRRRRRR) and pH sensitive polyethylene glycols (PEG) co-modified liposomes (Cl-Lip) and utilize them in breast cancer treatment. The co-modified liposomes were prepared with soybean phospholipid, cholesterol, DSPE-PEG2K-R8 and PEG5K-Hz-PE (pH sensitive PEG). The size and zeta potential of Cl-Lip were also characterized. The in vitro experiment demonstrated that the Cl-Lip had high serum stability in 50% fetal bovine serum. The cellular uptake of Cl-Lip under different pre-incubated conditions was evaluated on 4T1 cells. And the endocytosis pathway, lysosome escape ability and tumor spheroid penetration ability were also evaluated. The results showed the particle size of the Cl-Lip was (110.4 ± 5.2) nm, PDI of the Cl-Lip was 0.207 ± 0.039 and zeta potential of the Cl-Lip was (-3.46 ± 0.05) mV. The cellular uptake of Cl-Lip on 4T1 cells was pH sensitive, as the cellular uptake of Cl-Lip pre-incubated in pH 6.0 was higher than that of pH 7.4 under each time point. The main endocytosis pathways of Cl-Lip under pH 6.0 were micropinocytosis and energy-dependent pathway. At the same time, the Cl-Lip with pre-incubation in pH 6.0 had high lysosome escape ability and high tumor spheroid penetration ability. All the above results demonstrated that the Cl-Lip we constructed had high pH sensitivity and is a promising drug delivery system.

Objective To prepare monoclonal antibody(McAb) against human tissue kallikrein (HK) and develop an ELISA kit allows for the in vitro quantitative determination of human tissue kallikrein in urine. Methods To generate a monoclonal antibody specific for TK, the synthetic TK peptide consisting of 12 amine acids(12P), was fused to keyhole limpet hemocyanin(KLH) and used for immunization. Using hybridoma screening, monoclonal secreting cell lines were identified and used to generate ascites in BALB/c mouse. Antibody was purified by affinity column chromatography. 12% SDS-PAGE and Western blot were used to visualize the purified antibody. This kit employs indirect competitive ELISA technique and BiotinAvidin System. 12P was fused to bovine serum albumin(BSA) and has been pre-coated onto a microplate at first. Standards and samples were added to the appropriate microplate wells with a biotin-conjugated McAb croplate well. A TMB substrate solution is added to each well. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminating by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm. The concentration of tissue kallikrein in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve. Results 8 hybridoma cell lines secreting mAbs special to HK,SDS-PAGE and Western blot demonstrated successful preparing and purification of McAb( 100% ). The linearity of this ELISA kit is demonstrated(r =0. 990). The range of detection of the assay is 0.008 μg/ml to 0. 5 μg/ml. The assay remained stable, with no change in the values measured, over five cycles of freezing and thawing. Conclusion 8 McAbs against HK have been prepared successfully and possess high titer and specificity. The development of an ELISA kit for detecting HK can meet the needs of detection of HK in urine samples.
