Background Extracellular matrix (ECM) has various kinds of types and important biological function.The important role of ECM during choroidal neovascularization (CNV) arouse attention.Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), which is one of ECMs, involves in the formation of blood vessels, but the relationship between CNV and ICAM-1 is still unknown.Objective This study was to observe the dynamic expression of ICAM-1 in krypton laser-induced CNV and explore the effect of ICAM-1 on CNV.Methods Forty-eight healthy male clean BN rats were randomly divided into post-photocoagulation 1-week group,2-week group,3-week group,4-week group, 5-week group, 6-week group, 7-week group and 8-week group.Laser-induced CNV models were monocularly established and the fellow eyes served as the normal controls.Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) was carried out to quantitate the leakage degree (absorbency).The eyeballs were enucleated on various time points,and CNV areas were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining;immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization assay were employed, respectively, for the detection of relative expression levels of ICAM-1 protein and mRNA (absorbency).The use and care of the animals complied with the Regulations for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Committee.Results After laser photocoagulation,the retinal inner and outer nuclear layers were ruptured and invaginated.Disruption of Bruch membrane and macrophages migrating to the photocoagulation zone were seen under the optical microscope.The proliferation of fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells was exhibited.ICAM-1 protein was mainly expressed in vascular endothelial cells,retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells and macrophages,and ICAM-1 mRNA was mainly expressed in the outer nuclear layer.Statistically significant differences were found in the fluorescence leakage degree, the relative expression levels of ICAM-1 protein and mRNA as well as CNV areas among the groups (F=178.839, 739.077,2 463.508,194.434, all at P＜0.05).The gradually enlarged CNV area, increased fluorescence leakage, up-regulation of ICAM-1 protein and mRNA expressions were matched with the extension of time after photocoagulation and peaked in the post-photocoagulation 8-week group.Conclusions The expressions of ICAM-1 protein and mRNA up-regulate upon the increase of CNV area and fluorescein leakage, suggesting that ICAM-1 might play an important role in CNV development.

Objective To observe the effect of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection on choroidal neovascularization in brown Norway rats. Methods Thirty-six healthy brown Norway rats were divided randomly into control group (n=18) and experimental group (n=18), while one eye was chosen randomly as experimental eye. The choroidal neovascularization model was establishied, while 8μl triamcin-olone acetonide was injected in vitreous body immediately after photocoagulation in the experimental group, and the same volume isotonic balanced salt solution was injected in the control group. The eyes of six rats were enucleated for histological slices in the second, forth, and sixth week, respectively. The expression of nuclear factor-kappa B was detected with immunohistochemical method, and the max area of choroidal neovascularization was also measured. Results The area of choroidal neovascularization was smaller, and the expression of nucle-ar factor-kappa B was lower in the experimental group than in the control group (t>7.450, P<0.001). Conclusion Triamcinolone acetonide could effectively inhibit the development of choroidal neovascularization, and decrease the expression of nuclear factor-kappa B in brown Norway rats.

Studies have shown that microRNA plays a role of oncogene or tumor suppressor gene in the carcinogenesis and progression of tumor.However, the role of microRNA-143 (miR-143) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) needs further study.Aims: To investigate the expression and clinical significance of miR-143 in ESCC.Methods: Sixty-three ESCC tissues and corresponding para-cancerous tissues, 40 esophageal intraepithelial neoplasia (IEN) tissues and corresponding normal tissues from Jan.2013 to Dec.2013 at the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University were enrolled.The expression of miR-143 was examined by real-time quantitative PCR, and its correlations with clinicopathological features were analyzed.Results: Compared with controls, expression of miR-143 was down-regulated in ESCC and IEN (P<0.05).Expression of miR-143 was correlated with pathological type (P<0.001), but not with gender and age (P>0.05).Expression of miR-143 was correlated with pathological staging, lymph node metastasis and TNM staging (P<0.05), but not correlated with tumor infiltration depth in ESCC patients (P>0.05).Conclusions: Expression of miR-143 is down-regulated in ESCC and IEN tissues, which may be closely related to the development and progression of ESCC, and has the potential to be used as a new target for diagnosis of ESCC.

Objective:To analyze the osmotic pressure of citicoline sodium injection from different manufacturers to provide experi-mental basis for improving the national standard of the product. Methods:The cryoscopic method was used to detect the osmotic pres-sure of 479 batches of citicoline sodium injection from 45 pharmaceutical factories. Results:The osmotic pressure of citicoline sodium injection was within the range of 359-692 mOsmol · kg-1 , that of citicoline sodium for injection was within the range of 401-1408 mOsmol·kg-1 , and that of citicoline sodium chloride injection was within the range of 278-299 mOsmol·kg-1 . Conclusion:The os-motic pressure of citicoline sodium injection and citicoline sodium for injection from different manufacturers is obviously different. It is necessary to detect osmotic pressure in the quality standard in order to evaluate the quality of preparation process.
