Objective To explore the contribution of resveratrol(Res)to the proliferation and apoptosis of lens epithelial cells in vitro.Methods Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay was used to measure its effects on the proliferation of lens epithelial cells cultured with different concentrations of Res for 24h,48h and 72 h.HE staining,transmission electron microscope(TEM),TUNEL fluorescence staining and the Annexin V assay by flow cytometer(FCM)were applied to observe the ceumorphological change detect the apoptosis induced by Res quantitatively.Results Res obviously suppressed the proliferation(P<0.01)and induced the apoptosis of lens epithelial cells in concentration-dependent manner.The rate of apoptosis in control was 4.67%,and 17.31%,32.77%after having been treated with 100μmol/L and 200μmol/L Res for 24h,respectively.Conclusion The results of this study confirm the ability of Res to suppress the growth and the proliferation of lens epithelial cells with a typical apoptotm feature in vitro.Therefore,Res might be considered as a possible treatment strategy for after-cataract.

The effect of interventional therapy combined with multifactorial intervention on critical limb ischemia in patients with diabetes mellitus was investigated. The patency rate and limb salvage rate were followed up. Interventional therapy is effective in treating diabetic foot with critical limb ischemia. Multifactorial intervention was helpful for reducing amputation.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) ω-3 and ω-6, and their middle metabolites PGE2 and PGE3 on angiogenesis formation of gastric cancer, and to explore associated mechanism.
METHODSThe effects of ω-3, ω-6, PGE2, PGE3 on the proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) were measured by proliferation and migration assay respectively. The angiogenesis assay in vivo was used to measure the effects of ω-3, ω-6, PGE2 and PGE3 on neovascularization. In all the assays, groups without ω-3, ω-6, PGE2 and PGE3 were designed as the control.
RESULTSWith the increased concentration of ω-6 from 1 μmol/L to 10 μmol/L, the proliferation ability of HUVECs enhanced, and the number of migration cells also increased from 28.2±3.0 to 32.8±2.1, which was higher than control group (21.2±3.2) respectively (both P<0.05). With the increased concentration of ω-3 from 1 μmol/L to 10 μmol/L, the proliferation ability of HUVECs was inhibited, and the number of migration cells decreased from 15.8±2.0 to 11.0±2.1, which was lower than control group (22.1±3.0) respectively (both P<0.05). In the angiogenesis assay, compared with control group (standard number: 43 721±4 654), the angiogenesis ability of HUVECs was significantly enhanced by ω-6 in concentration-dependent manner (1 μmol/L group: 63 238±4 795, 10 μmol/L group: 78 166±6 123, all P<0.01). Meanwhile, with the increased concentration of ω-3 from 1 μmol/L to 10 μmol/L, the angiogenesis ability was significantly decreased from 30 129±3 102 to 20 012±1 541(all P<0.01). The proliferation and migration ability of HUVECs were significantly promoted by ω-6 metabolites PGE2 (P<0.05) in a concentration-dependent manner. In contrast, ω-3 metabolites PGE3 significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration ability of HUVECs in a concentration-dependent manner (all P<0.05). After rofecoxib (a COX-2 specific inhibitor) inhibited the expression of COX-2, the expression level of PGE2 was significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner. In co-culture system, whose gastric cancer cells expressed positive COX-2, ω-6 could increase angiogenesis of gastric cancer cells(P<0.01), but ω-3 could inhibit such angiogenesis(P<0.01). In co-culture system, whose gastric cancer cells did not express COX-2, ω-3 could inhibit the angiogenesis of gastric cancer cells (P<0.05), but ω-6 had no effect on angiogenesis.
CONCLUSIONSThe PUFA ω-6 can enhance the angiogenesis via the promotion of proliferation and migration of HUVECs, and COX-2 and PGE2 may play an important role in this process, whereas, the ω-3 can inhibit the angiogenesis through its middle metabolites PGE3 to inhibit the proliferation and migration of HUVECs. Results of this experiment may provide a new approach to inhibit and prevent the spread of gastric cancer.
