2.Recent progress in molecular genetics and therapy for X-linked juvenile retinoschisis
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2012;30(1):94-96
Juvenile retinoschisis (RS or XLRS,MIM#312700)is a rare X-linked inherited disorder,mainly affects bilateral retina,and is characterized by cartwheel-like changes of the macular region of the retina and schisis or splitting within the inner retinal layers,leading to visual deterioration.The electroretinogram is beneficial in the diagnosis of juvenile retinoschisis.The a-wave can be of normal or nearly normal amplitude in this disorder,whereas the amplitude of the b-wave is appreciably reduced,giving a decrease in the proportion of b/a.The responsible gene,XLRSl,maps to Xp22 and was identified by positional cloning.This paper makes a brief review about the latest XLRS research of pathogenesis,animal experiments,clinical therapy,and 25 references are cited.

AIM:To investigate the role of SDF-1? in migrating of bone marrow stromal cells to the injured areas. METHODS:Ischemic brain lesion model was created in rats by permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). 48 SD rats were divided randomly into 2 groups. Group 1:phosphate buffered saline (PBS 1 mL) for control (n=25); Group 2:BMSCs (2?106) were injected intravenously at 24 h after MCAO (n=24). After propagated in BMSCs,Ad5/F35 GFP (green fluorescent protein) was infected to BMSCs. The expression of SDF-1? (stromal cell-derived factor-1?) mRNA in the penrumbral tissue was assayed by real-time quantitative PCR. The expression of CXCR4 on MSCs was detected by flow cytometry. Confocal microscopy was used to detect the GFP-labeled MSCs migration. RESULTS:Ad5/F35 GFP signals was observed in almost infected BMSCs. The expressions of SDF-1? mRNA in the thalamus and hippocampus of the ischemic brains were peaked at 3rd day after stroke,followed by a decrease at 14th day post-ischemia. The expression of SDF-1? mRNA in the cortex of the ischemic brains was peaked at 7th day post-ischemia,still at high level at 14th day post-ischemia. The median percentage of surface CXCR4 expression in BMSCs was 14%. GFP labeled BMSCs were detected in the origination of the middle cerebral artery (olfactory area) at 6 h,after 3 days in the prenumbra tissue such as thalamus,and in the cortex more labeled cells were found after 14 d post-ischemia.CONCLUSION:BMSCs can pass through the blood brain barrier of ischemic rats. Its mechanism might be associated with the expression of SDF-1? in the ischemic brain.

ObjectiveTo explore the association of smoking to the Aspirin and Clopidogrel antiplatelet in patients with stable angina after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods241 smoking patients and 252 non-smoking patients underwent PCI for stable coronary artery disease, all patients had taken aspirin 100 mg/d for 7 d or more. The arachidonic acid (AA)- and adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet aggregation were tested as they got in hospital. Then, they accepted Clopidogrel 300 mg as loading dose, continued with 75 mg/d for 3 d. The ADP-induced platelet aggregation were re-tested. ResultsThe incidence of aspirin resistance (AR) and aspirin semiresponder (ASR) was 19.1% in all the cases, and was 25.5% in smoking group, 14.3% in non-smoking group (P=0.027). Age (OR=3.79,95%CI: 1.77~8.12) and smoking (OR=1.98,95%CI: 1.18~4.43) were the independent risk factors of AR and ASR. The incidence of Clopidogrel resistance was 19.5% in all the cases, and was 13.2% in smoking group, 24.3% in non-smoking group (P=0.03). Smoking (OR=0.22,95%CI: 0.09~0.54) may reduce the risk of Clopidogrel resistance. ConclusionSmoking increased the risk of AR and ASR, but reduced the risk of Clopidogrel resistance.

With the development of aging population,the rational drug use in old people was paid more attention nowadays. So far, a number of studies in Europe, Asia and North America showed that lots of prescriptions with potential irrational drug use could be found out using STOPP & START criteria. In China, there is no systematic tool for guiding the rational drug use in old people yet, therefore, we can learn the content of STOPP&START criteria and use them for reference to promote the rational drug use in Chinese old people and lay the foundation for establishing rational drug use judgment criteria suitable for Chinese old people.
