Proper wound healing and scaring are the key factor to the success of trabeculectomy in glaucoma patients.The inadequate wound healing will lead to bleb leakage and ocular hypotension after surgery;however,excessive wound healing and scaring will cause the failure of the surgery and eventually increase the intraocular pressure.The applying of antimetabolic drugs such as mitomycin C (MMC) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) are able to relieve the excessive wound healing in some degree;however,the side effects like ocular hypotension,dysesthesia endophthalmitis can never be ignored.What is worse,some patients are not sensitive to such drugs.Subconjunctival injection of CAT-152 (monoclonal antibody against transforming growth factor-β) was able to control wound healing in animal trabeculectomy model,while failed in multi-center clinical trial.Recent studies have focused on the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF inhibitors on the wound healing after trabeculectomy.This paper aims to review the mechanism of wound healing after trabeculectomy,as well as the role of anti-VEGF on this kind of wound healing and scaring.

As a kind of progenitor cells, the neural stem cells (NSC) possess the potential abilities of both proliferation and differentiation, from which some neurons or glias can be produced. Therefore, the neural stem cells show broad application prospects and clinic utility value. In this paper, the biological characteristics, distributions, main differentiation mechanisms, some experimental skills and application in neurosurgery of the neural stem cells were discussed.

Abstract Objective:The effects of both TM-TGFa and S-TGFa on proliferation were compared to explore the biological characteristics of the two forms of TGF-a.Methods:The proliferation of mouse fibroblast cell line NIH3T3 and its expression of PCNA were determined by the methods of MTT and histochemical technique. The level of IL-6 mRNA in HaCaT cell line was tested by in situ hybridization. Results:The two forms of TGFa were able to promote cell proliferation,PCNA expression and IL-6 mRNA transcription.The effects of S-TGFa had been shown stronger than that of TM-TGFa( P

Objective To investigate the distribution rule of NMDA receptor protein localizated on neuron membrane surface. Methods After the primary culture model of forebrain cortex neuron of rat had been set up,the NR1 subunit protein molecule of NMDA receptor has been combined with primary antibody IgG,and marked by Staphylococcus protein A-colloid gold particles (SPA-G). Then the neuron was observed with Field-emission SEM,and the content of AU element was calcalated by software. Results The cluster of NMDA receptor combined with SPA-G particulates was clearly observed as some globular being distributed mainly under some niches of lipid rafts,mainly localized at originating section of dendritic protuberance of neuron membrane surface. Conclusion NMDA receptor molecule protein was distributed on the membrane surface lipid rafts of originating section of dendritic protuberance of neuron. It was in accord with the distribution rule of postsynaptic membrane on neuron. The Field-emission SEM could distinguish single NMDA receptor melocule cluster after being marked with SPA-G molecule in neuron.

Objective To investigate the changes of vital signs and cerebral blood flow after sport in hyperthermal and heavy humid environment; and to investigate the effect of Urapidil on these changes. Methods 90 soldiers were divided into three groups: new soldiers group, new soldiers taking Urapidil group and veterans group(as group A,B,C). Their vital signs and cerebral blood flow were measured at quiescent condition in normal temperature and after their running for 3000m within 20 minutes in hyperthermal and heavy humid environment. Results Little difference was found among the three groups at guiescent condition in normal temperature. Whereas after exercise, there was significant elevation in body temperature, pulse, systolic pressure and cerebral blood velocity. On the other hand, a little decline in diastolic pressure was showed, but no obvious changes in pulsatility index(PI) following the exercise. Compared with group A, the average body temperature in group B was lower. The cerebral blood velocity in group C was faster and the PI showed lower. Conclusion Sport in hyperthermal and heavy humid environment could significantly affect vital signs and cerebral blood flow of human. The veterans had acquired better heat adaptation than the new soldiers. Urapidil played an important role in pharmacological hypothermia.

0.05). The movement and invasion ability were evidently inhibited in AQP1-siRNA groups compared with those in blank control groups and negtive control groups [(36? 3), (23?4)/HP vs(70?5),(65?4)/HP and(72 ?4),(69?4)/HP, respectively, P0.05).CONCLUSION The knock down of AQP1 by RNAi have no effect on the adhesion ability of Hep-2 cells, whereas could prevent the movement and invasion ability of laryngocarcinoma cells, which may be related with the metastasis of laryngeal carcinoma.

Objective To study the change of activity and toxicity of superoxide (O - 2 ) produced in polymorphonuclear leukocytes(PMNLs) during ischemia reperfusion cerebral injury.Methods The rats were administrated by both PMA (an activator of single transduction of O - 2 produced in alkaline phosphatase(ALPase) positive granules of PMNLs) and the inhibitor BCA respectively; the model of middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion was made by suture cleat mothod,the activity changes of both myeloperoxidease (MPO) and O - 2 were measured at 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 168h reperfusion following ischemia 1h, and the pathological ultrastructural changes were observed. Results The MPO activity of both PAM group and BCA group reached the peaks at 24h after reperfusion; however,there were no remarkable differences in MPO activity between these two groups in the same time point. The O - 2 activity in the PAM group was significantly higher than those in the BCA group. The O - 2 activity reached the peak at 72h of ischemia reperfusion. In the same experimental time point, the pathological changes of the ultrastructure in ischemic reperfusive injury brain of the PAM group were much more serious than the those of the BCA group, which showed obviously the neurons edema, the abnormal structures of nerve felt and synapse in the ischemia reperfusion injured brain.Conclusion The increase of brain O - 2 activity from PMNLs during cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury was direct ratio to the degree of cerebral injury. BCA might depress the activity and the toxicity of the O - 2.

Objective To explore the repaired effects of autotransplantation of bone marrow-derived neural stem cells (BMSCs) on hippocampus of epilepsy rats.Methods Male SD rats were randomly divided into groups normal control (NC),graft and non-graft .Under sterile condition, the BMSCs of rats were isolated, and under specific condition the BMSCs were cultured to induce and differentiate into neural stem cells(NSCs). Then the models of temporal lobe epilepsy were established in groups graft and non-graft , and the NSCs were autotransplanted into the right hippocampus of rats of graft group. The morphological changes of the hippocampus were observed at 1,2 ,4,8,16 weeks after the transplantation respectively.Results The number of hippocampal CA3 pyramid cells of groups non-graft and graft significantly decreased than that in NC group(all P

Objective To explore the effect of erythropoietin(EPO) on Bcl-xl expression in hippocampal CA1 subregion and cognizing function in rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion(IR).Methods Male SD rats were randomly separated into sham-operated group,IR group and EPO group,and the IR models were made.At 3 h before IR models made,rHu-EPO and saline were injected into rat lateral ventricles in EPO group and IR group,respectively,with help of stereotaxic coordinates.Bcl-xl protein expression of Hippocampal CA1 subregion was detected by immunohistochemistry at 24 h after operation.The learning and memory abilities were examined by electricity maze at 4 weeks after operation.Results Compared to sham-operated group,Bcl-xl protein expression in EPO group and IR group were obviously decreased,but EPO group was significantly increased than IR group(all P

Pharyngeal foreign body is a common disease. The diagnosis and treatment are easy. However, in a few cases, pharyngeal foreign bodies migrated to other part of body, which often causing missed diagnosis or misdiagnose to delaythe treatment, and even lead to fatal complications. Here we present a case report of a 52-year-old female patient.who was found to have cervical mass 20 days before. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showd a foreign body and foreign body granuloma on the left side of the neck. To look back on the history, the patient swallowed a fish bone in mistake one month ago.
