Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2006;0(09):-
Objective To evaluate the expression of ? opioid receptor of the knee joint synovium tissue in patients with chronic inflammation. Methods The patients were divided into inflammatory group and control group(n=25 for both). Those who were allocated to the inflammatory group were diagnosed as osteoarthritis by arthroscopy, and in the control group, the patients were having dislocation of patella and took internal fixation with arthroscopy. The synovium tissues were harvested from suprapateller bursa, articulation vestibule, intercondylar fossa and articulation metacele. The synovium were taken to measure ? opioid receptor by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR in both groups. Results Immunohistochemical and RT-PCR results revealed that the expression of mRNA and the optical density (OD) of immunoreaction of ?-opioid receptor in the knee synovium tissue in the chronic inflammation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P0.05). Conclusion The expression of ? opioid receptor of the knee joint synovium tissue in chronic inflammation was significantly up-regulated. It may play a partial role in the peripheral mechanism of morphine.
2.Efficacy of 23 - gauge vitrectomy cutter replaeing scissors in conventional 20 -gauge pars plana vitrectomy for severe PDR
International Eye Science 2014;(6):1159-1160
AIM: To determine whether the 23 - gauge ( 23G ) vitrecomy cutter could replace scissors in conventional 20-gauge ( 20G ) pars plana vitrectomy for treating severe proliferative diabetic retinopathy ( PDR) .
METHODS:Non-comparative interventional case series. Totally 27 eyes of 27 patients with PDR stageⅥ confirmed by funduscopy and B-ultrasound scan were enrolled. They underwent 20G vitrectomy, in which 23G vitrectomy cutter replaced scissors to remove neuvascular membrane. All 27 eyes received complete panretinal photocoagulation, 17 eyes received no tamponade, 6 eyes were 12% C3 F8 tamponade, 4 eyes were filled with silicone oil. The follow up time was 3mo. The operation duration time, iatrogenic retinal tear and retinal bleeding need electric coagulation, best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA) , retinal reattachment were analyzed.
RESULTS: The operative time was 35- 120 ( average 79-19±29. 82) min; intraoperative iatrogenic retinal breaks were detected in 2 eyes (7%). At the end of 3mo follow up, BCVA>0. 1 were in 9 eyes, from 0. 05-0. 1 in 10 eyes,<0. 05 in 8 eyes. Retinal reattached in 25 eyes (93%), still detached in other 2 eyes with silicone oil.
CONCLUSION: The 23G vitrectomy cutter could replace scissors in conventional 20G pars plana vitrectomy for treating severe PDR.
3.Sequential changes of HIF-1αprotein and mRNA in hypoxic bovine retinal microvessel endothelial cells
International Eye Science 2005;5(2):225-228
● AIM: To investigate the sequential changes of HIF-1 α Protein and mRNA in hypoxic bovine retinal microvessel endothelial cells.● METHODS: The bovine retinal microvessel endothelial cells were cultured in normoxic and CoCl2-induced hypoxic conditions respectively. Expressions of HIF-1 α Protein were measured with immunohistochemical staining, and RT-PCR was used to determine the HIF-1 α mRNA.● RESULTS: HIF-1 α began to increase 1h after hypoxia,and reached the peak at 4h. After 16h, it declined significantly. Compared with the normoxic group, the expression of HIF-1 α protein in the hypoxic groups had significant difference (P<0.01), and HIF-1 α mRNA expression was unchanged under hypoxia.● CONCLUSION: HIF-1 α participates in the hypoxic procedures in retinal microvessel endothelial cells, and hypoxia induce time-dependent changes of HIF-1 α protein expression, which is not modulated on the transcription level. Analysis of HIF-1 α expression revealed a temporal and spatial changes with regard to the hyperoxic repression, indicating that HIF-1 may play a major role in the development of retinopathy of prematurity and other ischemic retinal disorders such as diabetic retinopathy.

BACKGROUND:Recent studies have demonstrated that surgical trauma leads to lipid peroxidation in erythrocytes.However,injured erythrocytes play an important role in thrombosis following replacement.OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the influence of artificial total knee replacement on the lipid peroxdation in erythrocytes,and the prophylactic treatment of vitamin E and fructose 1,6 diphosphate(FDP)on it.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Contrast clinical study,which was carried out in the Department of Otthopaedics,Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from January 2003 to June 2006.PARTICIPANTS:Sixty patients with knee osteoarthritis who underwent artificial total knee replacement by anesthesia of epidural block were divided into four groups,including control group,vitamin E group,FDP group and vitamin E+FDP group,with 15 cases in each group.METHODS:Vitamin E was orally taken in the vitamin E group three days before replacement,three times a day,100 mg for each.The administration was performed until the surgical morning.Thirty minutes after the operation,FDP(10 g)was intravenously dripped in the FDP group.Additionally.vitamin E was also orally taken in the vitamin E+FDP group three days before replacement,three times a day,100 mg for each;on the surgical morning,FDP(10 g)was intravenously dripped on the first 30minutes.Blood samples were taken for biochemical determination before and after the operation at 1,3,5,and 7 days.MAIN OUTCOME M[EASURES:Corltents of malonaldehyde(MDA)and cuprum/zincum/superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn-SOD)in the erythrocytes.RESULTS:MDA level in the vitamin E group and FDP group was significantly higher than that in the vitamin E+FDP group before and 5 and 7 days after replacement(P<0.05);while,Cu-Zn-SOD level was significantly lower(P<0.05).Otherwise,there were no significant differences in vitamin E+FDP group before and after replacement(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:The artificial total knee replacement can enhance lipid peroxidation and decrease antioxygen capability.However,the combination of vitamin E and FDP can prevent and relieve lipid peroxidation and antioxygen capability after replacement.

BacKground:RectaI carcinoid is a rareIy seen neuroendocrine tumor. TiII now,there is controversiaI for the treatment modaIities of rectaI carcinoids with diameter between 1-2 cm. Aims:To study the expression of Ki-67 in rectaI carcinoids and the efficacy and safety of endoscopic resection. Methods:A totaI of 83 rectaI carcinoid patients with tumor diameter Iess than 1. 5 cm were enroIIed. AII patients were pathoIogicaIIy diagnosed and underwent endoscopic mucosaI resection from Jan. 2008 to Dec. 2013 at Chongqing Three Gorges CentraI HospitaI and Wuhan Tongji HospitaI. The medicaI records were retrospectiveIy reviewed and expression of Ki-67 in tumor tissue was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Results:AII patients underwent preoperative endoscopic uItrasonography. Tumors were Iimited to mucosa or submucosa, and no muscuIaris propria invoIvement or metastasis was seen. The mean foIIow-up duration was 38 months,and no recurrence or metastasis occurred. Ki-67 was IowIy expressed in aII rectaI carcinoids(0. 84% ± 0. 67%). When tumors were grouped by size,no significant differences in gender,age,tumor site and Ki-67 expression IeveI were seen between <1. 0 cm group and 1. 0-1. 5 cm group(P >0. 05). Furthermore,when tumors were grouped by a cutoff vaIue of mean Ki-67 index 0. 84%,differences in cIinicopathoIogicaI parameters between the two groups were not significant either( P >0. 05 ). Conclusions:Ki-67 is IowIy expressed in rectaI carcinoids Iess than 1. 5 cm in diameter enroIIed in this study,which denoted an inactive proIiferation. For rectaI carcinoids with diameter Iess than 1. 5 cm,with Iow Ki-67 expression and without muscuIaris propria invoIvement and metastasis, IocaI endoscopic excision is an effective and safe treatment modaIity.
