AIM: To evaluate and analyze the morphological property and physiological activity of cartilaginous loose bodies in the knee joint, to research the changeable mechanism of histological morphous and physiological function. METHODS: The experiment was conducted at the Department of Pathology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, the Physical Testing & Chemical Analysis Center of Anhui Medical University, and the Electron Microscope Center of Anhui Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University from January 2005 to January 2006. ①Experimental samples were 30 cartilaginous loose bodies all through arthroscopy as experimental group in which Group A (less than 6 months) had 14 samples and group B (between 6 and 12 months) 10, group C (more than 12 months) 6. Another 30 control samples were originated from non-weight loading side of articular cartilage through special equipment by arthroscopy. ②All samples were carried out the morphological measurement, light and transmission electron microscope exam, Ⅱ-collagen immunohistochemical stain, the measurement of collagen, calcium and fosforus. RESULTS: ①To compare the samples in the group A and control group, they had the identical or similar morphosis, microscopic structure of chondrocyte and distribution of extracellular matrix, the statistical treatments of the content of calcium, fosforus and collagen showed that the differences of scores between two groups were not statistically significant [calcium:(3.120?0.224),(3.090?0.231) mg/g;fosforus:(0.432?0.045),(0.455?0.067) mg/g;collagen:(462.43?17.12)(466.71?14.59) mg/g]. General speaking, comparing with the control articular cartilage, the loose bodies in group A had the normal histological property and physiological activity. ②Compared with control group, the samples in group B and C had the tendency of fibrous degeneration: necrotic or degenerative chondrocytes increasing, the contents of proteoglycan and Ⅱ-collagen decreasing, the tendency in group C more than group B, but the cartilaginous loose bodies in group B and C had many active chondrocytes mainly. Total content of collagen [(441.20?16.49),(417.33?8.38) mg/g] and Ⅱ-collagen decreased, while the contents of calcium and fosforus increased [calcium: (3.696?0.442),( 6.469?0.555) mg/g;fosforus:(0.523?0.068),(0.683?0.056) mg/g]. Generally, compared with the control articular cartilage, the histological property and physiological activity of the loose bodies in groups B and C had changed. CONCLUSION: The cartilaginous loose bodies can remain its histological property and physiological activity in the knee articular cavity for a long time, but it has the tendency of disorganization and physiological activity descending as time prolongs.

International Eye Science 2015;(4):588-591
AIM:To observe the effects of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) on thioltransferase (TTase) expression and activity in human lens epithelial cells.
METHODS: Human lens epithelial cells B3 ( HLE B3 ) were treated with 1. 5mg/mL AGEs - BSA as the experimental groups cultured by fetal bovine serum of volume fraction 10% dulbecco modified eagle medium ( DMEM) and bovine serum albumin ( BSA) was added at the same concentrations as the negative control. The level of reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) was evaluated. Cells were collected at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4d and total RNA or protein was extracted. TTase mRNA levels were detected by qRT-RCR. TTase expression was detected by Western blot and its activity was measured.
RESULTS: Compared with the control group, AGEs-BSA up-regulated the expression of ROS (P<0. 01), ROS content increased in a time-dependent manner. BSA had no effects on ROS expression. The expression of TTase increased after treatment with AGEs-BSA for 1d, peaked at 2d (nearly 5. 06-fold increase, P<0. 01), then decreased gradually. No change was observed between BSA and control group (P>0. 05). Similarly, TTase activity peaked at 3d (nearly 2. 01-fold increase, P<0. 01). Western blot test found that TTase protein expression was increased
gradually, starting from the 3d TTase expression was reflected that there was statistically significant difference compared with control group (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION:AGEs-BSA significantly increases the production of ROS in human lens epithelial cells, and it then induces the oxidative stress which may promote the expression of TTase and enhances the activity of TTase.

Chinese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery 2012;28(9):544-548
Objective To explore the feasibility of establishing a modified mouse model of pressure overload induced left ventricular hypertrophy by transverse aortic constriction(TAC).Methods 55 C57BL/6 female mice were randomly divided into three groups:severe TAC group (n =27),moderate TAC group (n =7) and sham surgery group (n =21),respectively.By ligating the aorta arch between innominate artery and the left common carotid artery with modified techniques in a minimally invasive way,moderate or severe aortic constriction were established successfully and reliably to mimic left ventricular(LV)outflow obstruction; to correctly evaluate the cardiac structural and functional responses to aortic arch banding,2-dimention (2D) and M mode transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) were deployed to monitor the LV contractile function and assess the LV hypertrophic changes induced by pressure overload at 4 weeks after the surgery.Results The mouse model of aortic constriction was established successfully with a post-operative survival rate more than 88%.And all these operated mice were able to survive at least 4 weeks long.Eccentric left ventricular hypertrophic changes were detected with echocardiographic measurement 4 weeks after the banding operation in both mTAC and sTAC group,as dilated left ventricular lumen with enlarged LV end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) and LV end systolic-dimension (LVESD) were confirmed.Mice with moderate banded aorta exhibited a compensated LV hypertrophy with preserved contractile functions and satisfactory ventricular wall movements to some extent,although left ventricular fractional shorting (LVFS) reduced gradually from 0.403 ± 0.007 to 0.340 ± 0.015 (P<0.05) ; while in severe banded (sTAC) mice,LVFS reduced more significantly as a sharp decrease from 0.438 ± 0.011 to 0.216 ± 0.012 (P < 0.01) were detected,combined with poor contractile function and stiff ventricular wall movements,exhibiting a de-compensated pathological left ventricular hypertrophy.Conclusion This modified TAC opcration could be easily carried out,and the TAC mouse model mentioned in the present research was an effective pressure overload model with several superiorities including less trauma,improved post-operative survival rate,rapid recovery and satisfactory reproducibility,thus a better and recommended mouse model for specific research purpose concerning LV hypertrophy mechanistic studies.
