Exosomes are nanosized membrane particles secreted by cells that transmit information from cell to cell.Exosomes in-volve in the regulation of important physiological activities of cells and play an important role in the formation and develop-ment of atherosclerosis (AS ).As one of extracellular vesicles, exosomes is getting increasingly attention.This article aims to review the role of exosomes derived from the AS related cells (immune cells,platelets,vascular endothelial cells,vascular smooth muscle cells)in the pathogenesis of AS.

Objective　To observe the effects of epithelial growth factor (EGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on wound healing of the penetration keratoplasty (PKP) with autograft in rabbits. Methods　After the establishment of penetrating keratic autograft model on 24 rabbits, they were equally divided into EGF-, bFGF-, EGF+bFGF-treated and control groups. The wound healing of all the animals were observed with healing intensity, liquid scintillation counter, AgNORs staining, VG staining and transmission electron microscopy. Results　①EGF, bFGF, and EGF+bFGF increased the limiting pressure of the wounds and the 3H-TdR incorporation. ②The fibroblast cells and its secreting proliferative collagen in both the bFGF group and EGF+bFGF group were more well-arranged. Conclusion　①EGF, bFGF, EGF+bFGF can obviously elevate the intensity of wound healing after PKP and enhance the synthesis of DNA. ②The effect of this agent combination is just as the same as bFGF applied alone 14 d after the operation. ③bFGF can improve the quality of wound healing after PKP.

Tissue engineering has always been a hot spot in the life science area over the past few years. However, there are some problems, such as the multiplication of seeding cells, the preparation of tissue engineering scaffolds, and the controlled release of drugs from scaffolds and so on. Recently microspheres have been widely used to solve these problems. For example, microspheres are used as microcarriers to culture seeding cells. In addition, microsphers can be either used to prepare engineering scaffolds or directly used as scaffolds. Microspheres can be used to load drugs and control the drug release as well. In this paper the application of microspheres in tissue engineering is reviewed and the up-to-date methods are introduced, including ways of improving performances of microcarriers, preparing scaffolds with microspheres and adding drug-loaded microspheres into scaffolds.

Adoption of the board of directors system in a public hospital is conducive to straightening out its internal management system and enables its head to more effectively exercise his power of supervision while giving full play to his functions. In addition, when major issues are concerned, decision-making is more democratic and scientific, reducing disputes over trifles. The board of directors system may after all be accepted as an effective form of management.

Objective　To observe the effect of epidemic growth factor (EGF) combining with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on wound healing of the penetrative keratic autoplasy in rabbits. 　 Methods　All 18 rabbits (36 eyes) were randomly divided into 9 groups and undergone penetrative keratic autoplasy, eyedrop.Diameters of the trephines were all 6 mm. Liquid scintillation counter was used to measure the incorporation rate of 3H-TdR. Pressure-detector was used to survey the intensity of keratic wound healing. AgNORs staining was used to count the fibroblast cells at keratic wound. VG staining, AgNORs staining and transmission electron microscopy were used to observe the morphological changes of keratic wound.　Results　(1) Both the wound intensity and the number of fibroblast cells of combination groups were higher than the 2 control groups in 8 days. (2) From the 14 th day to 21 st day, the wound intensity, the number of fibroblast cells and the incorporation rate of 3H-TdR in wound healing had no obvious difference from the positive control groups. 　Conclusions　 At the primary time, EGF combining with bFGF topic is more efficient to accelerate the wound healing of PKP. But the effect of this combination topic is just the same as bFGF topic alone 14 days later.

Objective To observe the effects and significance of Nordy on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the retinas of diabetic rats. Methods Diabetic rats by streptozotocin were randomly divided into diabetes group (5 rats?2) and Nordy treatment group (5 rats?2). Another 10 normal rats were recruited as normal control group. The Nordy treatment group was injected 0.5% Nordy (27 mg/kg) while diabetes groups and normal control group were injected saline solution into peritoneal cavity once every other day. One month or 3 months later, 5 rats in each group were killed and the expression of VEGF and iNOS in the retinas were detected by immunohisochemistry. The average positive areas were measured and analyzed by computer aided video system. Results The expression of VEGF and iNOS in control group were extremely low. In 1 month, the expression of VEGF and iNOS in diabetic group increased and the average positive areas of VEGF and iNOS were significantly more than that of Nordy treatment group (P

[Objective] To observe the effect of Zhuyun Decoction on immune sterility rats.[Method] Set up groups of normal saline,model,Zhuyun Decoction and prednisone,make models of every group by injecting subcutaneously suspension of sperm and Fu's adjuvant,etc.into female SD rats along the groin,NS into normal saline group.After 4 weeks,the groups of normal saline and model take NS,Zhuyun Decoction for Zhuyun Decoction group,prednisone for prednisone group.After 2 weeks,they are closed together with male ones.Before the first immune and 1 week after strengthened immune,take blood and measure AsAb with ELISA method,measure the immune integral of IgG and IgA in uterus tunica intima with SABC method;meanwhile,compare the pregnant rats and average nidation points in all groups.[Result] In the Zhuyun Decoction group,the pregnant rats and nidation points are much more that other groups;Zhuyun Decoction can reduce IgG and IgA integral in uterus tunica intima.[Conslusion] Zhuyun Decoction has definite effect on immune sterility rats,whose mechanism may be related with regulation of IgG and IgA integral in uterus tunica intima.

Objective To construct eukaryotic expression plasmid pIRESneo3-pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) and detect its transient expression in SP2/0 cells. Methods Specific primers were designed based on the mature peptide sequence of human PEDF cDNA in the GenBank. Human PEDF gene was cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pIRESneo3. The PEDF DNA was transfected into SP2/0 with LipofectamineTM 2000. The recombinant human PEDF protein expressed in SP2/0 cell culture supernatant was identified by Western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The biological activity of the recombinant human PEDF was measured by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-z-y1)-2,5-diphenytetrazolium bromide(MTT) method. Results PCR amplification, restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing confirmed that the mature peptide sequence of human PEDF cDNA was successfully cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pIRESneo3. And the plasmid was transfected into SP2/0 cells, which could secret PEDF. Western blot analysis showed that there was only one obvious band at the position of relative molecular weight of 50 000, and it is equivalent to the expected value. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay suggested that the content of PEDF began to rise after transfection, and peaked at 36 h [(0.92±0.04) μg/ml]. The proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cell line was significantly inhibited by supernatant after transfection of 36 h (P<0.05). Conclusions The eukaryotic expression plasmid pIRESneo3-PEDF had been successfully constructed and active human PEDF was transiently secreted, which made a foundation for further study of stable expression and purification of PEDF. This protein could be a potential medication for preventing and managing retinopathy of prematurity.

Different human thyroid carcinoma cell lines were treated with all-trans retinoic acid(RA). RA could inhibit cell growth,improve iodide uptake and increase some thyroid specific genes and retinoid acid receptor(RAR)mRNA expressions in FTC-133 cells.However,RA had no effect in C643,HTH74 and XTC. UC1 cells.These findings indicate that different thyroid carcinoma cells display diverse responses to RA.
