Objective To explore the efficacy of GM6001,tissue inhibitor expression and significance of matrix metalloproteinase?9(MMP?9)in mice model of oxygen?induced retinal neovascularization(RNV)and evaluate the inhibition effect of MMP?9 inhibitor(GM6001)on RNV. Meth?ods Mice were placed in oxygen boxes to establish oxygen?induced RNV animal models. The GM6001 treated or hyperxia control groups received an intravitreal injection of 1μL GM6001(100μmol/L)or PBS at day 11 after birth. The normal control and hyperxia group were not treated. HE staining was used to detect RNV in retinal whole mounts,the mRNA level and protein expression of MMP?9 were measured by RT?PCR,Western blot and immunohistochemistry,respectively. Results RNV in the GM6001 treated group was decreased significantly compared with the hyperxia group and hyperxia control group. Compared with the normal control group,higher protein and mRNA expression of MMP?9 were observed in the hy?perxia group and hyperxia control group. The expression of MMP?9 protein and mRNA were decreased in the GM6001 treated group compared with the hyperxia control group(P<0.05). Conclusion The abnormal expression of MMP?9 was closely correlated with RNV. The development of RNV can be markedly inhibited by MMP?9 inhibitor(GM6001),which,we believe,will provide new molecular targets and therapeutic strategy for retinopathy of prematurity treatment.

Purpose:To construct replication-defective adenovirus which was recombinated with Egr-1 promoter and to Smad7, and to study whether it can express exogenous Smad7 protein in cytoplasm.Methods:Based on Adeno-X~(TM) expression system, the CMV promoter of the pShuttle vector was replaced by Egr-1 promoter, and the Smad7 cDNA was subcloned into the MCS(multiple cloning site) of pShuttle. The recombinant pShuttle was then subcloned into the Adeno-X~(TM) genome, which was transformed into E.coli to get recombinant Adeno-X~(TM) plasmid DNA. The recombinant adenovirus was made and amplified in the transfected HEK 293 cells before it was purified and tested for viral titer. Then the Smad7’s location in cells was determined by immunocytochemistry.Results:Identified by restriction endonuclease analysis and PCR, recombinant adenovirus with Egr-1 promoter and Smad7 cDNA was constructed successfully, with a viral titer of 1.0?10~(11) TCID50/ml. Both endogenous and exogenous Smad7 protein was found to be located in cytoplasm of fibroblast cells.Conclusions:With Adeno-X~(TM) expression system, utilizing the techniques of molecular cloning, recombinant adenoviral vector could be quickly and efficiently constructed which could be packaged into replication-defective Adenovirus and amplified in HEK293 cells. The recombinant adenovirus could express exogenous Smad7 protein in fibroblast cells.[

Objective To compare the clinical effects between continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and intermittent haemodialysis (IHD) for the treatment of sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods A prospective study was conducted. Seventy-three patients with sepsis-induced AKI admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs) of Tianjin Hospital and Tianjin First Center Hospital from January to December in 2014 were enrolled. They were randomly divided into two groups: CRRT group (n = 35) and IHD group (n = 38). Data were recorded for the patients in two groups before treatment, including acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score, mean arterial pressure (MAP), urine volume, and the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum creatinine (SCr) before and 1 week after treatment, the time of recovery of urine volume, the length of ICU stay, the duration of organ support, and the incidence of cardiovascular events. Results There was no statistically significant difference in APACHE Ⅱ scores (21.63±2.46 vs. 21.34±2.46), MAP [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 71.26±10.70 vs. 75.74±15.17], urine volume (mL: 404.00±79.13 vs. 438.97±87.17), CRP (mg/L: 100.94±14.73 vs. 95.17±27.03), and SCr (μmol/L: 394.02± 50.26 vs. 390.47±54.42) before treatment between CRRT group and IHD group (all P > 0.05). One week after treatment, compared to the IHD group, CRRT could dramatically reduce the levels of CRP (mg/L: 41.05±10.15 vs. 60.21±14.78, t = 6.401, P < 0.001), SCr (μmol/L: 185.97±65.48 vs. 232.02±71.93, t = 2.862, P = 0.006), urine output recovery time (days: 7.94±3.06 vs. 11.08±3.71, t = 3.923, P < 0.001), the length of ICU stay (days: 9.54±3.39 vs. 13.42±3.89, t = 4.521, P < 0.001), organ support time (days: 3.23±2.70 vs. 6.34±3.36, t = 4.343, P < 0.001), and the incidence of cardiovascular events [23.53% (8/35) vs. 39.47% (15/38), χ2 = 5.509, P = 0.025]. Conclusion Compared to IHD, CRRT can more efficiently help patients with sepsis-induced AKI in removing excessive water, metabolic waste, and lower the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, maintain homeostasis of the internal environment, lower the adverse effects on cardiovascular system, so that it significantly improve the prognosis of patients, shorten the time of organ support and the length of ICU stay.
