AIM: To study the physiological function changes of the tears film after rebuilding ocular surface with corneal stem cells, and to discuss the validity and the estimate system of rebuilding ocular surface with the corneal stem cells. METHODS: The male New Zealand rabbits were used to establish the alkali burning model in the right eye. The corneal stem cells of the left eye were cultured on the amniotic membrane in vivo, and then transplanted to the right eye. Furthermore, the physiological function changes of the tear film were examined. RESULTS: Compared to the before alkali burning, the ocular surface cell morphology was similar after rebuilding ocular surface with the corneal stem cells, which were cultured on the amniotic membrane in vivo; The tear film breakup time test showed the a remarkable difference between after and before the alkali burning, but the cell modality after rebuilding had no remarkable difference compared to that before the alkali burning. CONCLUSIONS: It's an effective method to rebuild the ocular surface with the corneal stem cells in vivo, the cell framework and the physiological function of the tears film recover well after rebuilding. It may be a validity estimate system of rebuilding ocular surface to analyze framework and configuration of the ocular surface and test the tear film breakup time.

Objective To study the relationship between magnesium level in umbilical vein and mother′s peripheral blood with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and fetal weight. Methods 39 pregnant women with IUGR were randomly divided into 3 groups: Group 1 (n= 14): The patients were treated with 10% glucose 500 ml + danshen compound 14 ml + low molecular weight dextran 500 ml iv; Group 2 (n= 14): in addition to the same treatment as in group 1, 25% magnesium sulfate 20 ml in 5% glucose 500 ml iv was given; Group 3 (n= 11): no treatment was given; and another 12 normal term delivery women were served as control. Magnesium concentration levels were determined in both maternal peripheral blood and their fetal umbilical vein. Results Maternal serum magnesium level was higher in Group 2 (1 06?0 09) mmol/L than that in Group 1 (0 69?0 05) mmol/L (P

Objective To explore the role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)-induced endothelial cell damage in the pathogenesis of dermatomyositis (DM)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD).Methods Serum free DNA and krebs von den lungen-6 (KL-6) level were tested in healthy controls,dermatomyositis patients with or without interstitial lung disease (DM-ILD and DM-NILD).Subjects' peripheral blood neutrophils were stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA),then human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were co-cultured with NETs.The cell morphology was observed by the inverted phase contrast microscope.Cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK8).Results The concentration of serum free DNA in DM patients [(271.27 ± 76.53) μg/L] was significantly higher than that in health control (HC) [(152.89 ± 37.34) μg/L,P ＜ 0.001].Moreover,free DNA level in DM-ILD patients [(302.67 ± 74.15) μg/L] was higher than that in DM-NILD patients [(235.59 ±63.55) μg/L,P ＜0.005].The concentration of KL-6in DM patients [(3.08 ±2.07) μg/L] was higher than that in HC [(0.87 ± 0.51) μg/L,P ＜ 0.001].Similarly,KL-6 in DM-ILD patients [(4.00 ± 2.44) μg/L] was higher than that of DM-NILD patients [(2.03 ± 0.61) μg/L,P ＜ 0.005].Free DNA and KL-6 were positively correlated (r =0.251,P ＜ 0.05).The survival of endothelial cells in DM group (53 ± 11) ％ was lower than that of HC group [(70 ± 5) ％,P ＜ 0.001].Not surprisingly,the survival of endothelial cells in DM-ILD group (44 ±4) ％ was lower than that in DM-NILD group [(61 ± 8) ％,P ＜ 0.01].Conclusion NETs could play an important role in the pathogenesis of dermatomyositis associated interstitial lung disease,suggesting that NETs may be the potential therapeutic target.

Objective:To analyze the secular trends of height among Chinese students aged 17 in dif-ferent ethnic minorities from 1985 to 2010. Methods:A total of 18 Chinese ethnic minorities’ students, including Mongolian, Hui, Uygur, Zhuang, Korean, Tibetan, Miao, Buyi, Dong, Bai, Tujia, Hani, Dai, Lisu, Wa, Nakhi, Tu and Qiang as subjects were sampled from the 1985, 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010 Chinese National Surveys on Students’ Constitution and Health. The heights of 17 years old people by gender in various ethnic minorities were analyzed and compared. Results:From 1985 to 2010, the in-crements of adult heights increased significantly in many ethnic minorities’ boys. In 2010, the average height of boys aged 17 years in each minority group was higher than 162 cm and was higher than 170 cm among boys from Hui, Mongolian and Korean groups. The ethnics with height growth rates of more than 2 cm per decade in boys were Hui (2. 64 cm/decade) and Dong (2. 05 cm/decade) and the ethnics with height growth rates of more than 1 cm per decade were Korean (1. 99 cm/decade), Tibetan (1. 90 cm/decade), Hani (1. 80 cm/decade) and the other 9 minority groups. The average height of girls aged 17 years in each minority group was higher than 150 cm in 2010 . The heights showed an upward trend in 15 minority groups, but with different degrees. The ethnics with height growth rates of more than 1 cm per decade were Hui (1. 56 cm/decade) and Korean (1. 29 cm/decade). The increments that were signifi-cant between 1985 and 2010 were Hui (3. 89 cm), Korean (3. 23 cm), Dong (2. 35cm) and the other 6 minority groups ( P<0 . 05 ) . Conclusion: Our data suggest that the increments of adult heights may reflect the secular growth change in the major minority groups during the past 25 years, but there was an obvious disequilibrium among various ethnic minorities. We should pay more attention to the minority groups with poor growth and give them more help. Meanwhile, we should also pay attention to the nega-tive effects of the secular growth trend on those minority groups with fast increasing adult height.

Objective:To analyze the current situation of age at menarche ( AAM) in Chinese ethnic minority girls aged 9 -18 years, and compare the AAM with that of Chinese Han girls from the same province or autonomous region .Methods:Probit analyses were used to calculate the AAM in various eth-nic minority groups of Chinese girls who participated in 2010 National Physical Fitness and Health Sur-veillance .The sample size of ethnic minority girls was 31 711, and the ethnic minorities were Mongolian , Hui, Tibetan, Uighur, Miao, Yi, Zhuang, Buyi, Korean, Dong, Yao, Bai, Tujia, Hani, Kazak, Dai, Li, Lisu, Wa, Shui, Dongxiang, Naxi, Kirgiz, Tu, Qiang and Sala.The local Han girls to compare with the AAM were also surveyed in 2010 National Physical Fitness and Health Surveillance .Results:In the 13-year-old group, the percentage of menarche in Sala was the lowest (32.17%), while that in Korean was the highest (93.23%).At the age of 18, 99.60%ethnic minority girls appeared menstruating .The AAM of the top 3 ethnic minority groups were Korean ( 11 .79 years ) , Mongolian ( 12 .44 years ) and Zhuang (12.52 years); and the last 3 ethnic minority groups were Dongxiang (14.36 years), Sala (14.32 years) and Shui (14.02 years).The AAM in Korean was 0.93 years earlier than that of the Han girls from Jilin province;the AAM in Mongolian was 0 .14 years earlier than that of the Han girls from Neimenggu autonomous region;the AAM in Naxi and Qiang was close to that of the Han girls in the same province (region) (P>0.05);and the AAM in Hui, Uighur, Miao, Yi, Zhuang, Buyi, Dong, Yao, Bai, Tujia, Hani, Kazak, Dai, Li, Lisu, Wa, Shui, Dongxiang, Kirgiz, Tu, and Sala was later than that of the Han girls in the same province ( region) .The cluster analysis indicated that the 26 ethnic mi-nority groups could be classified as three groups: Korean were classified into the earlier age group of AAM;Dongxiang, Sala, Uighur, Yi and Shui belonged to the later age group of AAM;and the other 20 ethnic minority groups were into the middle age group of AAM .Conclusion:There was a large variation among different ethnic minority groups in China .The AAM was earlier in Korean , and Mongolian , com-pared with the local Han girls , and the AAM in other ethnic minority groups was the same or later com-pared with the local Han girls .

Streptococcus pneumoniae(S.pn) is an opportunity pathogenic bacteria,environmental factors play a key role in the pathogenicity of S.pn. It is important to study virulent gene in vivo. The S.pn suicide plasmid containing gfp reporter was constructed by fusing the genes pneumolysin and gfp,in which gfp is an excellent molecule probe in vivo. The plasmid was integrated to No.22 S.pn by homologous recombination. The recombinant S.pn was gained and evaluated in aspects of fluorescence excitation, biological character and physio-activity. The results showed it is efficient and available to report the expression of virulent genes in vivo and in vitro, which will provide a new easy method for evaluating and screening the virulent genes of S.pn in vivo.

Objective To define the loci of the mutant gene in the loop-tail mouse.Methods To study the heredity pattern, loop-tail mice were mated with normal C57BL/6J and C3H mice.Their offsprings with loop-tail or normal phenotype were registered respectively.Microsatellite marker D1Mit113 and D1Mit149 were used to locate the mutant gene.Based on fine mapping, the candidate gene Vangl2 was found.Vangl2 gene from the loop-tail mice was amplified by PCR followed by sequencing.Incision enzyme FspBI ( BfaI ) identified the genotype of offspring from loop-tail mice intercrossing.Results Heredity test indicated that the loop-tail phenotype was controlled by a single dominant gene not with 100%penetrance but was affected by genetic background.A C-to-T transversion was at the 1345bp in Vangl2 gene of the loop-tail mice.Conclusions The C-to-T transversion introduces a pre-termination codon of amino acids and causes the phenotype of loop-tail phenotype.None homozygous mice were found in the offsprings, suggesting that the homozygous mice are lethal.
