Objective To understand the epidemiologic trend and characteristics of the distribution of schistosomiasis in Yunnan Province, China. Methods The data of two sampling surveys on schistosomiasis in Yunnan in 1995 and 2003 were collected, and the database of GIS was set up. The spatial status of rates of human infection and cattle infection were analyzed by using the GIS software, ArcView 3.2, contours method. The relationships between rates of human infection and cattle infection in 1995 and 2003 were analyzed with SPSS statistical software. Results The high-risk areas of schistosomiasis in Yunnan were Dali City, Yongsheng, Heqing, Eryuan, Weishan and Nanjian counties, and those areas contained different infection grades which were intertwine. The rate of human infection was descendent and the distribution of high-risk areas of schistosomiasis was decreasing. The infection rate of cattle was higher than before in the south of epidemic areas in Yunnan. Those epidemic areas of schistosomiasis could be identified as three spatial distributions. Conclusions The control and prevention of schistosomiasis in Yunnan should be focus on Dali City, Eryuan, Weishan, Yongsheng, Heqing and Nanjian counties, and the key is synchronistical chemotherapy in human and cattle.

The bFGF plays an important role in embryonic development of tendons and ligaments and in the healing of injuried tendons and ligaments. The eukaryotic expression plasmid of rat basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene was constructed in order to further investigate the bFGF function in molecular regulatory mechanism in the repair of tendons and ligaments and to provide the foundation for the clinical application. The cDNA fragments of bFGF were cloned from the skin of rats by RT-PCR, and recombinated to the pMD18-T vector. The cDNA encoding bFGF was cloned from the pMD18-T vector by RT-PCR, digested with restriction enzyme EcoR I Pst I and bound to eukaryotic expression plasmid pIRES2-EGFP to construct eukaryotic expression plasmid pIRES2-EGFP-bFGF. The pIRES2-EGFP-bFGF was transfected into the tenocytes by lipid-mediated ransfection technique. MTT test was used to detect the biological activity of bFGF in supernatants after the transfection. The expression of type I and III collagen genes was detected by using RT-PCR. It was verified that the pIRES2-EGFP-bFGF was successfully constructed, and its transfection into tenocytes could significantly enhance the biological activity of bFGF, and increase the expression of type I and III collagen mRNA, suggesting that pIRES2-EGFP-mediated bFGF gene therapy was beneficial to the repair of tendons and ligaments.

Background Vitronectin is a glycoprotein that has a variety of functions.Its expression was markedly higher in the retina of oxygen induced mice,which was confirmed in our animal model,and also increased in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (人 UVECs) that were cultured in high glucose.However,there was no evidence that showed vitronectin was involved in retinal neovascularization.Objective This study was to observe the influence of vitronectin on cytoskeleton remodeling,cell migration and blood vessel formation in 人 UVECs conditioned by high glucose.Methods 人 UVECs were cultured in high glucose and the expression of vitronectin was knocked down using RNA interference technology.The experiments were divided into the high glucose group (人 UVECs were conditioned with DMEM medium that contained 50 mmol/L glucose),negative interference group (人 UVECs were transfected with control siRNA in advance,and then were conditioned with DMEM medium that contained 50 mmol/L glucose) and positive interference group (HUVEC were transfected with vitronectin siRNA in advance,and then were conditioned with DMEM medium that contained 50 mmol/L glucose).The protein expression of vitronectin was measured by Western blot,and the microfilament cytoskeleton of 人 UVECs was examined by immunofluorescence cytochemical staining followed by fluorescence microscopy.Cell migration ability in a scratch wound assay and blood vessel formation ability in a matrigel assay of 人 UVECs were evaluated.The general differences were analysed by One-Way ANOVA ;further contrasts of the two groups were analysed by the LSD-t test.Results The differences in vitronectin expression of the three groups were not obvious at 0 hour (F=1.064,P>0.05).After 24 hours,vitronectin expression was highest in the high glucose group,lower in the negative interference group,and the lowest in the positive interference group,and the differences were significant (F =15.519,P<0.05).After 48 hours,vitronectin expression of the three groups displayed the same pattern,and the differences were also significant (F=37.521,P<0.05).Immunofluorescence showed that the cytoskeleton structure was most obvious in the high glucose group,moderate in the negative interference group,and was the least obvious in the positive interference group,after both 24 hours and 48 hours.In the scratch wound assay,the cell migration ability of the high glucose group was the highest,lower in the negative interference group,and the lowest in the positive interference group after 24 hours,and the differences were significant (F=90.685,P<0.05).After 48 hours,the cell migration abilities of the three groups displayed the same pattern,and the differences were also significant (F=67.880,P<0.05).In the matrigel assay,after 6 hours,the number of blood vessels formed in the high glucose group was more than that in the negative interference group,and the least amount was found in the positive interference group.The differences among of them were significant (F =86.653,P<0.05).The number of blood vessel formed in the positive interference group was also the lowest after 12 hours,and the differences were also significant (F=18.992,P<0.05).Conclusions Vitronectin can bring about cytoskeleton remodeling,increase in cell migration,and enhancement of blood vessel formation in 人 UVECs conditioned in high glucose.It may be one of the important influence factors of diabetic retinopathy.
