Objective Previous researches demonstrated that pyrroledithiocarbomate (PDTC), an inhibitor of nuclear factor, results in specific inhibition on nuclear factor-κB and therefore suppress cataract formation. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of nuclear factor-κB inhibitor on cataract formation after alkali burn in rats. Methods Ocular surface alkali burn models were established in the right eyes of 40 SPF Wistar rats by putting the 7 mm filter paper with 1 mol/L NaOH in the central cornea for 60 seconds. PDTC (2 mg/mL, 0. 1 mL) was subconjunctivaly injected everyday in 20 model eyes and the equivalent amount of normal saline solution was used in the same way in other 20 model eyes. The rats were killed in the first, third, fifth and seventh day after alkali burn and lenses were obtained for the histopathological examination, and immunochemistry and polymerase chain reaction were used to detect the expression of nuclear factor-κB in lens epithelial cells. The experiment and use of animal followed the Standard of Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology. Results After alkali burn, lens epithelial cells namely fell off in control group but those of experimental group were complete in the first day. In the third day, the lens cortex was obviously condensed in both two groups. In the fifth and seventh day, the lens epithelial cells fell off and lens cortex was obviously briquetted. Lots of vacuole and fragments could be seen in both groups. The gray scale value of nuclear factor-κB in lens epithelial cells were significantly higher in 1 day and 3 days after alkali burn in PDTC group compared with control group(t =2. 836, P =0. 036; t =4. 932, P =0.004) . The nuclear factor-κB /p-actin values were considerably lowed in 1 day and 3 days after alkali burn in PDTC group compared with control group (t = 31. 563, P = 0. 000; t = 17. 837, P = 0. 000). No statistically significant difference were found in gray scale values of nuclear factor-κB and nuclear factor-κB/p-actin values in 5 days and 7 days after alkali burn between PDTC group and control group (P＞0. 05). Conclusion Early usage of inhibitor of nuclear factor plays a suppressive role in cataract formation after ocular surface alkali burn of rat model.

AIM and METHOD: The relationship between the evolution of the reticulin fibres(RF) or the collagen fibres(CF) and the growing of hematopoietic cells in long-term bone marrow culture (LTBMC) from 15 paticnts with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and form 6 normal subjects was observed by inverted microscope, Gomoris staining and Massons staining were used. RESULTS: (1)The amount of RF contents of 8 AMLs,with self- maintained(AMLsm) in the 1～8 weeks-old-culture was significant less than that of normal control and 7 AMLs,without self-maintained(AMLnsm) ( P

Objective To understand the incidence of hemolytic disease in newborn (HDN)among the newborns with jaundice and the coincidence degree of the blood group serological results and the clinical diagnosis in HDN.Methods The microcolumn gel method was adopted to detect the 3 serological indexes in 276 jaundice newborns of maternal fetal blood group incompatibility,in-cluding the direct antiglobulin test,free antibody test and antibody release test.Results 108 cases of HDN were clinically diagnosed with the positive rate of 39.13%.The positive detection rate in newborns with 0-2 d old was highest(50.00%).Conclusion The serological test can provide the basis for the early diagnosis and treatment of HDN.Collecting the specimen as early as possible can improve the positive diagnosis rate of HDN.

Background Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is one of major causes of childhood blindness.Early screening and treatment of ROP is necessary.Objective This study was to analyze the incidence of ROP in single and multiple premature infants and related factors.Methods This study was approved by Ethic Committee of Suzhou Municipal Hospital,and oral informed consent was obtained from the parents of the infants before any medical examinations.Five hundred and four fetus with the gestational age of ≤34 weeks or birth weight of ≤ 2 000 g were collected in Suzhou Municipal Hospital,of whom 357 infants were single fetus birth and 147 infants were multiple fetus,including 26 twins and 21 three fetus birth.The fundus were examined by RetCam Ⅱ equipment and ROP was determined based on the fundus findings and history of birth.ROP incidences between the single fetus and multiple fetus were compared,and the inducing factors were analyzed.Results Sixty-six infants were ROP in all 504 fetus,with the incidence of 13.10％.The incidence of ROP in the single fetal group was 10.92％ (39/357),which was significantly higher than 18.37％ (27/147) in the multifetal group (x2=5.069,P=0.024),and risk of ROP in the multifetal group was higher than that in the single fetal group (OR =1.835).The oxygen inhalation rate was 42.02％ (150/357) and the oxygen inhalation duration was 5.71 days in the single fetal group,and that in the multifetal group was 58.50％ (86/147) and 9.42 days,respectively.Conclusions Incidence and risk of ROP in the multifetal infants are higher than those in the single fetal infants,and low-birth-weight,less gestational weeks and excess oxygen inhalation are influence factors.

Objective To investigate the cytokine spectrum and henlatopoiesis-supportive function of umbilical cord derived mesdnchymal stem cells(UC-MSC),and compare with those of normal adult bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells(BM-MSC).Methods The mRNA of cytokine production of UC-MSC and BM-MSC were determined by reverse transcriptasc polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)analysis.To evaluate hematopoiesis supporting activity,cord blood(CB)CD+34 cells were co-cultured with UC-MSC or BM-MSC.Colony-forming cells(CFC)were determined after 5 weeks of culture.Results RT-PCR assay showed that UC-MSC had a cytokine spectrum very similar to that of BM-MSC.including expression of the mRNA ofstem cell factor,leukemia inhibitor factor,macrophage colony stimulating factor,Flt3-ligand,interleukin-6,vascular endothelial growth factor and stromal derived factor-1.but UC-MCS additionally expressed mRNA of granulocyte macrophage and granulocyte colony-stimulating factors.After co-culture with CD+34 cord blood cells for 5 weeks,no significant difference in CFC was observed between the CD+34 cells/UC-MSC and CD+34 cells/BM-MSC co-cultures (P＞0.05). Conclusion The cytokine spectrum and hematopoiesis-supponive function of UC-MSC ale similar with that of BM-MSC.

Objective: To investigate the distribution and resistance of pathogens isolated from blood cultures in patients with hematological malignancies after chemotherapy in Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University so as to understand the real situation of blood stream infection (BSI) and provide the basis for rational use of antibiotics in clinic. Methods: The data of 657 strains isolated from blood culture specimens of patients with hematological malignancies from January 2013 to December 2016 were collected analyzed. Results: A total of 657 cases of blood culture positive bacterial strains were included in the study, involving 410 cases (62.4%) with single Gram-negative bacteria (G^- bacteria) , 163 cases (24.8%) with single Gram-positive bacteria (G⁺ bacteria) , 50 cases (7.6%) with single fungi. The most common 5 isolates in blood culture were Klebsiella pneumoniae (17.5%) , Escherichia coli (17.2%) , Coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS) (14.9%) , Pseudomonas aeruginosa (14.2%) and Staphylococcus aureus (3.5%) . The extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli were 25.2% and 55.8%, respectively. ESBL producing strains were almost more resistant than non-ESBL producing strains. The resistance rates of Enterobacteriaceae to carbapenems, piperacillin/tazobactam and tigecycline were lower than 14.0%. The resistance rates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to a variety of drugs were lower than 12.0%. Tigecycline-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria were not detected, and the resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumannii to cefixime and cefotaxime were 7.1%. Methicillin-resistant strains in CNS (MRCNS) and in Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) accounted for 84.7% and 43.5%, respectively. Vancomycin, linezolid and tigecycline-resistant G⁺ bacteria were not detected. Conclusion The pathogens isolated from blood culture were widely distributed. Most of them were G^- bacteria, and the resistance to antibiotics was quite common. Furhermore, vancomycin, linezolid and tigecycline can be chosen empirically to treat patiens who ar suspected to have G⁺ bacterial BSI.
