AIM: Three different antisense oligonucleotides complementary to basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) mRNA were compared in inhibitory effect on gene targeted expression. METHODS: After transfecting bFGF antisense oligonucleotides (asODN) into SWO-38 cells by lipofectin,the proliferation of cells was identified by MTT method, apoptosis was examined by flow cytometric cell cycle analysis and the expression levers of bFGF were detected by Western-blotting. RESULTS: There were 49%,33%,51% inhibition of cell growth and 35%, 27%, 18% cell apoptosis after asODN1, asODN2 and asODN3 treatment.In addition,the decrease in bFGF protein was 63%, 42%, 11%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The data suggeste that asODN1 is a potent target to bFGF mRNA, which inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis in SWO-38 cells.

Objective:To establish a pristine-induced rheumatoid arthritis model in mice,and to evaluate its histological and immunological distinction.Methods:Thirty female BALB/c mice,6-8 weeks old,were randomly divided into 2 groups,a control group and pristine group.The mice in pristine group were injected intraperitoneally with 0.5 ml pristine three times at 0,9,and 18 weeks, while mice in the control group receiving saline at the same time.Arthritis score and paw thickness were measured and histopathological assessment of joint sections was performed.The expression of phagocytes,dendritic,neutrophils,T and B cells markers in spleen were determined by flow cytometry.Results:In model-marking group,11 mice were presented with macroscopic evidence of arthritis such as erythema or swelling.The paw thickness in pristine-induced mice was significant higher than that in the control groups[(2.90±0.51) mm vs(1.29±0.47 mm),P<0.05].In addition,arthritis score in pristine-induced mice was 9.55±2.80 at 21 weeks after first injection with 0.5 ml pristine.H&E staining revealed a significant increase of synovial inflammation, cartilage and bone destruction after stimulated with pristine.Meanwhile,the expression levels of CD11b,CD11c,GR1,CD4,CD8 and CD154 were obviously increased in model-marking group when compared with that in control group.Conclusion: The pristine-induced model presents the similar histological and immunological distinctions with human rheumatism arthritis,which can mimic the pathogenesis of rheumatism arthritis.

Objective: To observe the expressions of NMDAR2 and GLAST in the hippocampal gyrus and supraoptic nucleus(SON) under sleep deprivation in young rats.Methods: The changes in expressions of NMDAR2 and GLAST in SON and hippocampal gyrus under sleep deprivation in younger rats were observed by immunohistochemistry method. Results:The expressions of NMDAR2 and GLAST in SON and the hippocampal gyrus were significantly increased on the 3rd day of sleep deprivation,even more sigificantly on the 5th day,decreased gradually on 7th day,and became similar to those of control group on the 14th day.Conclusion: Sleep deprivation can affect the expressions of NMDAR2 and GLAST in the hippocampal gyrus and supraoptic nucleus,but the effect diminisshes gradually with prolonged time,which may be associated with self-regulation and self-protection of the central nervous system.

Objective:
To understand the working categories of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) nursing and its existing problems, and to provide a realistic basis for the construction of primary PCI in clinical nursing.
Methods:
Qualitative interviews were used to carry out semi-structured and personal in-depth interviews among 5 doctors and 27 nurses in 5 hospitals. 7 step analysis of Colaizzi was used to analyze the data.
Results:
The working categories of primary PCI nursing involves professional team management, early identification, preoperative preparation, evaluation and predictive nursing, disease observation, safe transfer, psychological nursing and health guidance.
Conclusion
Primary PCI nursing is still in the stage of continuous optimization, but some parts of the process are not standardized and the nursing behavior is inconsistent. Primary PCI nursing needs to form nursing behavior norms under the guidelines of evidence-based medicine.

Objective To evaluate the effect of Eylea (aflibercept) on recombinant adeno-associated virus 2 (AAV2)-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV).Methods Two normal cynomolgus monkeys were used in this study.Recombinant AAV2-VEGF was delivered by subretinal injection (60 μl/eye,7.0×1011 IU/ml) into both eyes for each cynomolgus monkey.Both eyes of one animal were treated with single intravitreal injection of Eylea (50 μl/eye,40 mg/ml) 3 weeks after AAV2-VEGF injection,and the two eyes of the other animal were untreated.Optical coherence tomography (OCT),electroretinography (ERG),fluorescein angiography (FFA) and ocular photography were conducted.The experiment was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) at JOINN Laboratories (Suzhou) (IACUC serial number:ACU15-1112).Results OCT showed that subretinal hyperreflective material,retinal edema,choroid edema and local pigment epithelial detachment were found after injection of recombinant AAV2-VEGF.All of those symptoms were relieved after treated with Eylea,but aggravated after 4 weeks treated with Eylea.FFA showed that the area of fluorescein leakage expanded obviously after 2 weeks treated with AAV2-VEGF,and it was observed at the whole of fundus posterior pole at 5 weeks after injection.After 1 week treated with Eylea,the area of fluorescein leakage decreased obviously,but increased gradually after 4 weeks treated with Eylea.ERG results showed that the amplitude of ERG decreased gradually after injection of recombinant AAV2-VEGF.After intravitreal injection of Eylea,the amplitude of ERG increased gradually,but it decreased again after 4 weeks treated with Eylea.Conclusions Injection of recombinant AAV2-VEGF is capable of inducing CNV and pathological retinal in cynomolgus monkey.Eylea can prevent the development of clinically relevant CNV,but the effect just lasts for a period.
