Objective To analyze the corneal flap thickness in laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK) using Moria M2 microkeratome and to identify the related factors. Methods Sixty patients with LASIK were divided into two groups: M2 90 group,using the Moria M2 90 microkeratome,n=30;M2 110 group,using the Moria M2 110 microkeratome,n=30.All were performed on both eyes with the right one treated first.Subtraction pachymetry was used to measure corneal flap thickness which was analyzed statistically with the data including age,preoperative corneal diameter,curvature,corneal thickness and refraction. Results In the 30 patients of M2 90 group,the mean corneal flap thickness of right eye and left eyes were(128.03?12.03)?m(105~156 ?m) and(123.40?12.38) ?m(92~147 ?m),respectively,and the corneal flap thickness were statistically different between the right and left eyes(P

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of acupoint selection by heavenly stems on eosinophils(EOS) in guinea pigs with asthma.Methods Forty-eight guinea pigs were randomized into four groups: group A(timely electroacupuncture at the period of the day from 3 p.m.to 5 p.m.),group B(un-timely electroacupuncture at the period of the day from 9 a.m.to 11 a.m.),group C(model group) and group D(normal control group).Asthma was induced by chicken ovalbumin in groups A,B and C.The hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining method and terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling(TUNEL) method were applied in the pathological and quantitative observation of eosinophils(EOS) in lung slices.Results The number of EOS was increased in model group(P

Objective To investigate the effects of rapamycin on renal tissue and function of rats with protein overload nephropathy and to explore the protective mechanism of losartan. Methods Experimental rat models with protein overload nephropathy, induced by intraperiotoneal injection of BSA (2. 0 g/d)into female Wistar rats, were divided into three groups: control group, rapamycin group(injected intraperitoneally with rapamycin) and losartan group(injected intraperitoneally with rapamycin and given orally with losartan). At different time points, the quantity of 24-hour urine protein and renal function were measured, and the morphologic changes of renal tissues were evaluated by HE staining and electron microscope. Results Both at day 7 and day 14, rats received BSA developed intense proteinuria. At day 7, compared with control group, 24-hour proteinuria increased markedly in rapamyein group (P<0.05). Nevertheless,proteinufia was notably alleviated in losartan group (P<0.05). At day 14, 24-hour-urine protein of rapamycin group was also significantly higher than that of the losartan group (P<0.05), but therewas no significant difference between control group and losartan group (P>0.05). Proteinuria and intratubular albumin cast formation were alleviated notably in losartan group. The fusion of focal podocytes in rapamycin group was obvious in comparison with control group. Conclusions Rapamycin can agrravate proteinuria in rats with protein overload nephropathy through changing the barrier of glomerular filtration by damaging podocytes. Furthermore, losartan can alleviate severe proteinuria induced by rapamycin.

AIM: To investigate the apoptosis in primary gastric cancer cells induced by resveratrol, and the relation between this apoptosis and expression of bcl- 2 and bax. METHODS: In in vitro experiments, MTT assay was used to determine the cell gowth inhibitory rate. Transmission electron microscopy and TUNEL staining were used to quantitatively and qualitively detect the apoptosis of primary gastric cancer cells before and after the resveratrol treatment. Immunohistochemical staining and RT - PCR was used to detect the expression of apoptosis - regulated gene bcl - 2 and bax. RESULTS: Resveratrol inhibited the growth of primary gastric cancer cells in a dose - and time - dependent manner. Resveratrol induced primary gastric cancer cells to undergo apoptosis with typically apoptotic characteristics. TUNEL assay showed that after the treatment of primary gastric cancer cells with resveratrol for 24, 48, 72, 96 hours, the apoptotic indexs were 4.93% ± 0.19%, 16.74% ± 0.43%, 27.88% ±0.36%, 36.84% ± 1.07 % respectively. Immunohistochemical staining showed that after the treatment of primary gastric cancer cells with resveratrol for 24, 48, 72, 96 hours, the positive rates of Bcl - 2 proteins were 20.68% ± 0.49%, 10.84% ±0.33%, 6.80% ± 0.34%, 3.91% ± 0.15% and the positive rates of Bax proteins were 19.79% ± 0.98%, 30.74% ±0.85%, 40.14% ± 1.17%, 60.08% ± 1.64%. After exposed to resveratrol for 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h, the density of bcl- 2 mRNA decreased progressively with elongation of time and the density of bax mRNA increased progressively with elongation of time by RT- PCR. CONCLUSION: Resveratrol is able to induce the apoptosis in primary gastric cancer. This apoptosis may be mediated by down- regulation of Bcl- 2 and up- regulation of Bax.

BACKGROUND:It has been an urgent problem of how to promote cartilage repair of the knee and shorten the total course through a tissue engineering approach. Fortunately, microfracture plus stem cel transplantation may open up a new path for this issue. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinic feasibility of arthroscopic microfracture technique plus stem cel transplantation for repair of articular cartilage injury of the knee. METHODS:From October 2010 to March 2012, a total of 16 patients with articular cartilage injury of the knee were enrol ed, including 12 males and 4 females, with the average age of 38.6 years (16-52). Al cases of cartilage injury were confirmed by arthroscopy. Autologous bone marrow was extracted from patients at 2 weeks before treatment to isolate, culture and amplify bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s in vitro. The cel culture solution of 3-5 mL (about 107 cel s) was harvested. The articular cavity was clean by arthroscopy and microfracture technique was performed at the area of cartilage injury that was then covered with hemostatic gauze through a minimal y invasive incision and the prepared bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were injected. The knee was bandaged with the elastic bandage after aspirating the joint cavity effusion by vacuum suction. Functional exercises were performed early by CPM.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After fol ow-up of 4-18 months, there were 13 cases of excel ent, 2 cases of valid and 1 case of ineffective. According to Lysholm knee scores, the average scores were improved from 42 points (33-67 points) to 89 points (75-99 points) at 4 weeks after treatment. The function was satisfied and al patients were fol owed up without recurrence or worse. Under the arthroscopy, the combination of microfracture technique and autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation is proved to be effective for articular cartilage injury of the knee and it can notably improve the clinic symptoms and recover the function of the knee.
