Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2015;31(3):279-284
Objective To investigate the medium and long-term influence of silicon oil versus heavy silicone oil on rabbit retinas.Methods 28 health standard rabbits were randomly divided into A,B and C groups,with 12,12 and 4 rabbits respectively.All rabbits received routine vitrectomy and tamponade with silicone oil (group A),or heavy silicone oil (group B) or balanced salt solution (group C).After 4,8,12 and 24 weeks,the retinal b-wave amplitude was measured by ERG,posterior retinal thickness was measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT).Retinal ultrastructure and tissue morphology were observed by transmission electron microscopy and optical microscopy.Results Compare to group C,the b-wave amplitude decreased at 4 weeks after surgery,and decreased at 8 weeks after surgery for group B,and decreased at 8 weeks after surgery,and decreased at 24 weeks after surgery for group A.The decreases were greater in group B than group A at 8,12,24 weeks after surgery,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The posterior retinal thickness of group A and B was thinner than group C at 24 weeks after surgery (P<0.05).The decreases were greater in group B than group A,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Transmission electron microscopy and optical microscopy revealed severe pathological changes of retinal ultrastructure and morphology in group A and B rabbit eyes,at 12 weeks and 8 weeks after surgery respectively.The changes were more severe in group B and group A,including edema and necrosis in cone/rod cells,in disk membranes,mitochondria,cytoplasm,nucleus and other organelles.The morphological changes were also more severe in group B and group A,including degenerations of ganglion cell layer,inner nuclear layer changes.Those changes became more severe when the tamponade time extended.Conclusion The heavy silicone influence on visual function,ultrastructures,histomorphology of rabbit retinas is much worse than the silicon oil,and the effect is more significant with its time prolong.

Objective: To investigate the effect of Tanreqing injections combined with azithromycin in the treatment of children bronchial pneumonia. Methods:Totally 56 cases of pediatric bronchial pneumonia were selected in our hospital from September 2012 to September 2013 and randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 28 cases in each. The control group was with azithromycin treatment, and the observation group was with Tanreqing injections additionally. The effect and adverse reactions of the two groups were studied and compared. Results:In the observation group, the effective rate was 92. 9%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0. 05). The hospitalization time and the symptoms disappearance time in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (P<0. 05). The adverse reactions showed no significant difference be-tween the two groups. Conclusion:Tanreqing injections in the treatment of children bronchial pneumonia is rapid, effective and safe.

Objective To construct genetically engineered cells that secrete human TH and GDNF at the same time by stable co-transfection pcDNA3.0/hTH and pcDNA3.1/hGDNF in SH-SY5Y cells and study their effects on the gene therapy of Parkinson′s disease (PD). Methods pcDNA3.0/hTH and pcDNA3.1/hGDNF were constructed by inserting human TH and GDNF cDNA into pcDNA3.0 and pcDNA3.1, respectively. SH-SY5Y cells were transfected with pcDNA3.0/hTH and pcDNA3.1/hGDNF and the positive cell clones of human TH and GDNF cDNA engineered cells could be identified by RT-PCR. The engineered cells were co-cultured with primary dopaminergic neurons in mouse. The number and growth condition of primary dopaminergic neurons were examined by Immunocytochemistry. Results The number of primary dopaminergic neurons protected by double-gene engineered cells increased at least by 2.8 times in comparison with the control cells(P

Abstract: The activities of four CYP450 enzymes (CYP3A, 1A2, 2El and 2C) and the mRNA expression levels of CYP1A2, 2El, 2Cll and 3A1 in rat liver were determined after Wistar rats were orally administered with brucine (BR) at three dosage levels (3, 15 and 60 mg.kg-1 per day) and the high dose of BR combined with glycyrrhetinic acid (GA, 25 mg.kg-1 per day) or liquiritin (LQ, 20 mg.kg-1 per day) for 7 consecutive days. Compared with the control, brucine caused 24.5% and 34.6% decrease of CYP3A-associated testosterone 6beta-hydroxylation (6betaTesto-OH) and CYP2C-associated tolbutamide hydroxylation (Tol-OH), respectively, and 146.1% increase of CYP2El-associated para-nitrophenol hydroxylation (PNP-OH) at the high dose level. On the other hand, (BR+GA) caused 51.4% and 33.5% decrease, respectively, of CYP2El-associated PNP-OH and CYP1A2-associated ethoxyresorufin-O-de-ethylation (EROD) as compared with the high dose of BR group. Meanwhile, (BR+LQ) caused 41.1% decrease of CYP2El-associated PNP-OH and 37.7% increase of CYP2C-associated Tol-OH. The results indicated that the co-administration of BR with GA or LQ had effect on mRNA expression and activities of the CYP450 enzymes mentioned above to some extent, and the in vivo antagonism of LQ on BR-induced CYPs adverse effects and the in vivo inhibitory action of GA on CYP2E1 and 1A2 might play an important role in the detoxification of Radix Glycyrrhizae against Strychnos nux-vomica L.
