Objective To determine if aquaporin1 ( AQP1) and aquaporin5 ( AQP5) are expressed in the alveolar-capillary membrane in rats, and to investigate the changes of AQP1 and AQP5 expression in the rat with acute lung injury.Methods The distribution of AQP1 and AQP5 in alveolar capillary membrane was investigated by immunohistochemistry and immunoelectron microscopy with affinity-purified antibodies to human AQP1 and AQP5.The possibility that alveolar capillary membrane AQP1 and AQP5 undergo altered regulation was studied by a rat model established using intra-tracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS).Results Immunolabelling showed that AQP1 was stained primarily in the microvascular endothelium of normal lungs, while AQP5 was expressed in type I pneumocytes. Immunohistochemical analysis showed a significant decrease in the expression of AQP1 and AQP5 in injured lungs at 4 -48 h after LPS instillation.AQP1 protein was resumed partly at 24 h after LPS instillation and steroid administration, whereas AQP5 was unchanged.Conclusions The decreased expressions of AQP1 and AQP5 in injured lungs suggest that both of them may play a role in abnormal fluid transportation.

Long non-coding RNA ( LncRNA) is a class of transcript (>200 nucleotides) that do not encode proteins. It plays an important role in epigenetic regulation and gene expression at transcriptional or post transcriptional level. The abnormal expression of LncRNA may lead to various pathological processes. Diabetic retinopathy ( DR ) is a multifactorial disease. Recent studies have shown that many specific expressions of LncRNAs are closely related to the genesis of DR. In this review, we summarized the recent advances in the function of LncRNA, the regulatory mechanisms of LncRNA involved in the development of DR, and the related therapies.

Diabetic macular edema ( DME ) is a major cause of visual impairment in patients with diabetes mellitus, the central retinal thickness ( CRT ) is correlated with the visual impairment and the changes of visual function before and after treatment. Furthermore, CRT is related to the changes of macular microstructure. The subtle changes of retinal microstructure can be qualitative and quantitative analyzed by spectral- domain OCT ( SD -OCT) . In this study, the changes of retinal microstructure in patients with DME are reviewed, what is of great meaning to explore mechanism, observe disease progress, guide clinical treatment and prospect prognosis of DME.

Objective To investigate the changes of tumor necrosis factor- ?(TNF- ?) and souble intercellular adhesion molecule - 1 (sICAM - 1) in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in children with viral encephalitis (VE) before and after treatment,and to explore the pathogenesis of the cytokins in VE. Methods The levels of TNF - ? and sICAM - 1 in serum and CSF were determined before and after treatment using EL1SA in 38 children who were admitted with VE, and 20 children as normal controls. Results The levels of TNF- ? and sICAM - 1 in serum and CSF before treatment were obviously higher than those of control group,and the difference was significant(P 0. 05), but the serum and CSF TNF - ? and sICAM - 1 levels in SVE group were higher than those of control group(P

0.05.Post-operation complications in the TRI group included severe radial spasm in 3 patients and local hematoma in 3 patients.In the TFI group,local hematoma in 7 cases,vagus reflex in 12 patients,pseudo aneurysm in 2 patients,difficultly in micturating in 10 patients and lumbar pain in 5 patients were recorded after the operation.Conclusion Transradial and transfemoral PCI show similar high success rate.The incidence of complications associated with puncture was less in the TRI group than that in the TFI group.Transradial access can be applied as a routine access for emergent PCI with AMI.
