Background Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a chronic inflammatory disease,with pathological changes of retinal microvessels.Studies demonstrated that sericin has anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation effects,inferring that sericin might play a protective effect on diabetic microangiopathy.Objective This study was to investigate the effects of sericin on intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1),vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and Cx43 expressions in retina and explore the protection of sericin to retinal microangiopathy in diabetic rats.Methods Forty-eight specific pathogen free male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group,diabetic model group,sericin-treated group and calcium dobesilate-treated group,with 12 rats for each group.The diabetic models were established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) for 3 consecutive days and feeding up with high lipid foods.Normal saline solution,2.4 g/(kg · d) sericin solution and 0.2 g/(kg · d) calcium dobesilate were used by gavage administration in the rats of the diabetic model group,sericin-treated group and calcium dobesilate-treated for 3 months group,respectively.The rats were sacrificed and retinal sections were prepared,and the retinal morphology was examined by hematoxylin-eosin staining.The expressions of ICAM-1,VCAM-1 and Cx43 proteins and mRNA in retinas were detected by Western blot assay and reverse transcription PCR.The use and care of the rats complied with Regulations for the Administration of Affairs Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission and ARVO statement.Results The retinal structure was normal in the normal control group.The swell and rupture of inter limiting membrane (ILM),scatter vascular endothelial cell nuclei breakthrough ILM and decrease of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) were displayed in the diabetic model group;while in the sericin-treated group and calcium dobesilate-treated group,the mild thickening of ILM and disorder of retinal cells were obtained.The relative expression levels of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were significantly raised and those of Cx43 were reduced in the diabetic model group,sericin-treated group and calcium dobesilate-treated group when compared with the normal control group (all at P＜0.05).Compared with the diabetic model group,the expressions of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 proteins and mRNA in the sericin-treated group were significantly reduced (ICAM-1 protein:0.834 3±0.032 1 vs.0.918 9±0.042 4;VCAM-Ⅰ protein:0.726 4±0.011 2 vs.1.235 0±0.078 9;ICAM-1 mRNA:0.716 3±0.008 6 vs.0.956 8±0.012 5;VCAM-1 mRNA:0.393 7±0.035 0 vs.0.477 9±0.020 6) and those of Cx43 protein and mRNA were evidently elevated (Cx43 protein:0.133 1 ±0.015 3 vs.0.039 2±0.002 0;Cx43 mRNA:0.676 8 ±0.064 8 vs.0.430 8±0.111 3) (all at P＜0.05).Conclusions Sericin can relieve retinal microangiopathy and protect retina against the pathogenesis and development of DR by down-regulating the expressions of ICAM-1,VCAM-1 and upregulating the expression of Cx43 in retinas of diabetic rats.

0.05). However, compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude in ims injected group wa s si gnificantly higher as compared with the other two groups[ims injected group (12.50?2.06) mV, iv group (1.50?0.20) mV, control group (10.13?4.04) mV, F=6.347, P=0.033]. The MSC s were able to be observed only in ims injected tissues 3 weeks after implantati on (A large number of small undifferentiated cells were found outside the myofib ers and some were found between the cells.) The atrophy of gastrocnemius in ims injected group was much less severe than that of the other 2 groups. The diameter of muscle fibers was significantly longer on d60 (F=4.537,P=0.021).Conclusion:Intra- muscular injection of MSC was well distributed in denervated muscle, which provides a newway of nerve regeneration in the rat model of sciatic nerve injury.

Objective To analyze the therapeutic effect of intracoronary versus intravenous bolus tirofiban on myocardial perfusion and major cardiovascular events (MACE) in elderly patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and explore the optimal route of tirofiban application. Methods From July 2009 to July 2010, 120 NSTE-ACS patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI ) were consecutively enrolled in this study. They were randomly divided into two groups: intracoronary (60 cases) versus intravenous (60 cases) bolus tirofiban. Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow, TIMI myocardial perfusion grade (TMPG) and MACE 30 days after PCI were observed. Results The incidence of TIMI flow and TMPG 3 grade in intracoronary group were higher than in intravenous group [53(88.3%) vs. 38(63.3%); 53(88.3%) vs. 40(66.7%), respectively, both P＜0.05]. However, MACE incidence and bleeding complications during hospital 30 days after PCI had no significant difference between the two groups [1 (1.7%) vs. 0; 3(5.0%) vs. 5(8.3%)], which were not statistically significant (P＞0.05). Conclusions Intracoronary bolus tirofiban before PCI more effectively increases coronary blood flow and myocardium blush than intravenous route in elderly NSTE-ACS patients.

Objective To study the effect of expression of RNA interference targeting protein kinase B(PKB) gene transfection mediated by nanoparticles(NP) on intimal hyperplasia(IH) in vein grafts of rats.Methods Nanoparticle PKB short hairpin RNA(shRNA) gene complex was prepared with PLGA and PVA.Autogenous vein graft model was established in 72 rats by transplanting internal jugular vein to carotid artery.The models were randomly divided into 3 groups:(1) PKB shRNA group: PKB-shRNA gene mediated by NP were transfected into the veins before anastomosis.(2) Empty vector group: the veins were transfected by empty vector mediated by NP.(3) Control group(no transfection).The grafted veins were harvested 3,7,14 and 28 days after the operation respectively.The mRNA and protein expression of PKB were determined by Northern blot and Western blot.IH was observed by HE and Verhoeff stain.The presence of apoptotic VSMC was detected by TUNEL stain.Results Compared to empty vector group and control group,PKB shRNA group had less expression of mRNA and protein of PKB gene(P

Objective To investigate the effect of antisense oligonucleofide(PCNA ASON)and vascuiar endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene traneduction on restenosis after balloon angiopasty.Memods chinese rabbits were randomly divided into control group(I),PCNA ASON(II),VEGF only (Ⅲ),PCNA ASON+VEGF(Ⅳ)groups.Each group included 7 rabbits.Restenosis wasevaluated by pathology immunohistochemistry and Western-blotting for the expression of PCNA,and the depth and area oftunica media and tunicca intima were measured. Results All rabbits experienced restenosis on different severities,especially in control group.Lesions were less severe in PCNA ASON and VEGF groups than in controls.The proliferation of smooth muscle and intima significantly ameliorated in PCNA ASON and VEGF combination group that in PCNA ASON or VEGF groups(P<0.01).But the difference between the PCNA ASON and VEGF group was not significant(P>0.7). Conclusion PCNA ASON and VEGF gene transductionn are effective in preventing restenosis after balloon angioplasty caused vessel injury in rabbits.
