Background The pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR) involves a variety of biological pathways.Recently,inflammation factor has been thought to paly an important role in the pathogenesis of DR.Studies show that the concent of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is increased in high-glucose environment,which leads to the abnormality of tight junction protein and follows by blood-retinal barrier (BRB) damage.Polysaccharides of dendrobium candidum (PDC) can inhibit the overexpression of TNF-α,but its effect on TNF-α in early DR procedure has been unelucidated.Objective This study was to investigate the effects of PDC on permeability of BRB and its mechanism in daibetic rats.Methods Fifty clear adult SD rats were divided into normal control group,diabetic model group and low-(100 mg/[kg · d]),moderate-(200 mg/[kg · d]) and high-dose (300 mg/[kg · d]) PDC groups,10 rats for each group.Streptozotocin was intraperitoneally injected to establish diabetic model in 40 rats,expect for normal control group.PDC at the concentrations of 100,200 and 300 mg/(kg · d) was intragastrically administered in the low-,moderate-and high-dose groups respectively at 6 weeks after modeling,and normal saline solution was used at the same way in the normal control group and diabetic model group.Evans blue was perfused via cardic chamber and eyes were obtained.Evants blue leakage was measured to evaluate the BRB permeability.The relative expressions of TNF-α,zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1),occludin and claudin-5 proteins were detected by Western blot;TNF-α contents in the retina and serum of the rats were detected by ELISA.Results The leakage concents of Evans blue in the retinas were (12.68±1.30),(30.45±2.60),(22.12±1.15),(17.99±1.00) and (21.49±1.00) in the normal control group,diabetic model goup and low-,moderate-and high-dose PDC groups,respectively,and the retinal leakage concents in the diabetic model group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group,and the retinal leakage contents in the low-,moderate-and high-dose PDC groups were lower than those in the diabetic model group (all at P ＜ 0.01).Western blot showed that the relative expression level of retinal TNF-α was significantly higher in the diabetic model group compared with the normal control group(1.12±0.10 vs.0.27±0.03),and that in the diabetic model group was significantly higher than that in the normal control group;while the relative expression levels of retinal TNF-α in different doses PDC groups were significantly lower,and the relative expression levels of retinal ZO-1,occludin and claudin-5 were significantly higher than those in the diabetic model group (all at P＜0.05).ELISA showed that the concentrations of retinal and serum TNF-α were higher in the diabetic model group compared with the normal control group,and those in the different doses of PDC groups were lower than those in the diabetic model group (all at P＜0.05).No significant differences were found among various doses of PDC groups (all at P＞0.05).Conclusions PDC can improve the permeability of BRB by down-regulating the expression of TNF-α and up-regulating the expressions of tight junction proteins in the retina of diabetic rats,which is probably related to suppressing the development of early DR.

The clinical features, electroneurophysiology, neuroimaging and gene characteristics of one case of early adult-onset dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) with an onset of epilepsy were reported. The female patient had the onset manifestation of epilepsy. Whereafter, she progressively developed marked cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation and choreic movement. Electroencephalography showed that there were multiple complex slow waves in the whole brain cortex. Magnetic resonance imaging showed the patient had marked atrophies in the cerebral cortex, brainstem and cerebellum. Atrophin-1 gene detection revealed that the numbers of CAG repeats were 15/65 (the patient) and 14/54 (her father) respectively. Her father had no clinical manifestations until now. The mother and brother were normal. DRPLA has diverse clinical presentation,heterogeneous phenotypic spectrum, early adult-onset DRPLA is rare, and the specific gene detection can be helpful for a definitive diagnosis.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of pine pollen on Kidney Mitochondria DNA Deletion Mutation (mtDNA) in senile mice.

METHODKunming senile mice were randomly divided into the pine pollen group, and the senile control group. And a young control group was randomly selected. Mouse in the pine pollen group were orally administered with pine pollen (750 mg x kg(-1)) daily. The young control group and the senile control group were orally administered with isometric 0.9% sodium chloride injection. After 60 days, deletion mutation of mtDNA were detected by PCR technology and photodensity scan. Relative level of MDA and activity of SOD in kidney tissues were detected.

RESULTThe senile control group showed significant increase in relative level and deletion mutation of mtDNA (P < 0.05). Compared with the senile control group, the pine pollen group showed decreased depletion of kidney mtDNA (P < 0.05). Pine pollen can decrease MDA volume and increase the activity of SOD significantly (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONPine pollen can inhibit deletion mutation of mtDNA in senile mice, suggesting that pine pollen can reduce oxidative damage of mtDNA and protect mtDNA. Accordingly, it provides a possible mechanism of anti-aging effect of pine pollen at the molecular level.
