1.Biocompatibility of intraocular lens cytokine in aqueous humor
International Eye Science 2014;(11):1982-1986
Intraocular lens ( IOL) implantation is the major method to replace the cataract lens. How to improve the biocompatibility of IOL has been the focus of current research. Major reactions after the IOL implantation include endophthalmitis, corneal endothelial edema, iritis, uveitis, and posterior capsule opacification, etc. At cellular level, macrophages, monocytes, fibroblasts and lens epithelial cells can be detected on the surface of IOL. Their adhesion, proliferation migration, and transformation may be induced by the operation related cytokines released into the aqueous humor. Detailed analysis of cytokines profile after IOL implantation may be beneficial to explore the mechanism of posterior capsule opacification.

The Rhei Radix et Rhizoma was one of the most widely used traditional Chinese medicine for its special biological activities. The content of rhein, one of its major compounds, was an important standard for the quantity control of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma. The major method used for the detection of rhein was instrumental analysis like HPLC, but it was complex, time-consuming and cannot detect large samples at the same time. The enzyme-linked imunmosorbent assay (ELISA) was accurate, reliable, simple, low costs, and of a high-throughout. Recently, it was widely used for the determination of those small molecule compounds in some traditional Chinese medicinal plants. In this study, an artificial antigen were synthesized by the carbodiimide (CDI) method. Rhein-bovine (rhein-BSA) conju gate and rhein-ovalbumin (rhein-OVA) conjugate, were produced as the immunogen and coating antigen, respectively. The conjugate and the hapten number in the conjugate were determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometry (UV). The conjugation ratio of Rhein and BSA was about 4.0:1, rhein acid and OVA was 2.6 : 1, respectively. Rhein-BSA conjugate was used to immunize Bal b/c mice to produce antiserum. The antiserum titer of the Rhein were higher than 8000 detected by ELISA. The successfully synthesized conjugate antigen rhein-BSA implies its feasibility in the establishment of fast immunoassay for the rhein content determination.

AIM: To investigate the influence of He-Ne laser on connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression and collagen formation of fibroblast in filtration site after trabeculectomy in rabbit, and to discuss the mechanism for preventing scar formation with He-Ne laserin vivo.METHODS: The upper nasal limbus area next to the upper rectus muscle in right eyes Received 10 minutes He-Ne laser irradiation (200mW/cm2) every day for three days, the left eyes served as control. Twenty-four hours after the last irradiation, both eyes of the rabbits were took trabeculectomy surgery. The expressions of CTGF in the filtration area were tested on the 7th, 14th and 28th day after surgery and collagen density was tested on the 14th and 28th day after surgery. Each of the time point had 7 rabbits. RESULTS: The expression of CTGF was lower than that of the control group's on the 7th and 14th day after trabeculectomy surgery (P=0.01, P=0.005). When examined on the 14th and 28th day, the collagen density of irradiation group were significantly lower than that of the control group's (P=0.013, P=0.01).CONCLUSION: Pretreating the filtration area with 200mW/cm2 He-Ne laser may be helpful in preventing scar formation after trabeculectomy in rabbit, possibly due to downregulation of the expression of CTGF and collagen synthesis in fibroblasts. He-Ne laser may be developed into a new scar preventing method in filtration surgery.

This paper, from the aspects of neuroendocrine, emotion, learning etc, analyzed comprehensively the characteristics of the influence of prenatal stress (PS) on offspring, including intensity of PS, timing of exposure and individual differences. Despite the variety in methodology, most studies on it indicate that the prenatal stressful events lead to offspring's increased plasma glucocorticoid (GC) level, more depressed-related behaviors and impaired learning abilities. Although mechanism of prenatal stress is still unclear, most studies show that it is concerned with hypothalamio-pituitary-adneral (HPA) axis,dopaminergic (DA-ergic) system, neuropeptide Y (NPY)and serotoninergic (5-HT ergic) system. Moreover, further studies are proposed to pay more attention to the relationship and interaction of various related substances.
