Objective To explore the therapeutic effects of nimodipine and magnesium sulfate on severe pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) as well as the effect on plasma endotheline (ET) and serum nitric oxide (NO), in order to provide theoretical foundation for clinical treatment. Methods Forty two patients with severe PIH, being divided into 2 groups at random, were treated with nimodipine or magnesium sulfate. The changes of blood pressure, arteriole of eyeground, urine protein, ET, NO and clinical symptoms were observed respectively before and after the treatment, and the pregnancy outcomes were compared. Results (1) After the treatment of nimodipine, the serum NO of patients increased significantly from (51.72?14.64)?mol/L to (67.56?14.77)?mol/L ( P 0.05). (2) The nimodipine group took shorter time (0.5 h) to lower the blood pressure notably than the magnesium sulfate group (2 h).(3) As for the disappearing of subjective symptoms , nimodipine group (1.7? 1.3) h was quicker than magnesium sulfate group (3.4?1.7) h. Conclusions Compared with magnesium sulfate, nimodipine was better in improving and protecting the function of endotheline cells, dilating cerebral blood vessels, depressing blood pressure strongly and persistently, reducing subjective symptoms of patients and had no other side effects except increasing heart rate.

Background Perineural invasion is an important biological character for adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of lacrimal gland,which is different from those of other lacrimal gland tumors.As the important part of neurotrophic factors,glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) plays an important role in perineural invasion for ACC of salivary gland.GDNF regulation in the ACC cell biology function needs to be further explored.Objective This study was to investigate the effect of GDNF on proliferation and migration of ACC cells,and to explore the mechanism of neural invasion in ACC of lacrimal gland.Methods ACC-2 cell line was cultured and passaged in RPMI 1640 medium with 10％ fetal bovine serum,100 U/ml penicillin and 0.1 g/L streptomycin.Single-cell suspension was prepared with the density of 2×104/ml using logarithmic phase of cells and then incubated to 96-well plate.GDNF with the final concentration of 20,60,80,100 and 120 μg/L was added into the medium respectively in the experimental groups,and the cells were cultured in the medium without GDNF as the control group.The expression of GDNF in ACC-2 cells was detected by immunohistochemistry.MTT assay was employed to assay the absorbance value at the wavelength of 570 nm (A570) for the evaluation of proliferation of ACC-2 cells after cultured by different concentrations of GDNF for different time points.Meanwhile,transwell chamber was used to examine the cell migrated number.Results Immunochemistry assay exhibited that ACC-2 cells showed the positive response for GDNF with the brown staining in the cytoplasm.In 48 hours after culture,the A570 value was elevated with the increase of GDNF concentration,showing a significant difference among various groups (F =3.336,P =0.026),and the A570 value in various concentrations of GDNF groups was higher than that of 0 μg/L GDNF group (all P＜0.05).After action of 80 μg/L GDNF,the A570 value of the cells was gradually increased with the prolong of culture time (Ftime =39.979,P=0.000).In 30 minutes after GDNF cultured,the number of migrated cells increased with the increase of GDNF concentration (F=144.886,P=0.000).ACC-2 cells were cultured by 100 μg/L GDNF for 24,30 and 40 hours,the number of migrated cells were more as the time lapse,and more migrated cells were seen in GDNF group at various time points (Ftime =46.747,P =0.000 ; Fgroup =63.786,P =0.000).Conclusions GDNF can stimulate the proliferation and migration of ACC-2 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner.

Objective To observe the clinical effects after implantation of an aspherical intraocular lens Acrysof IQ.Design Prospective,randomized concurrent-controlled study.Participants 64 patients(64 eyes)with bilateral senile cataracts.Methods Pa- tients were operated with phacoemulsification and IOL implantation.They were divided randomly into 2 groups according to the table of random number:one group with Aerysof IQ(aspherical IOL)implantation and the other with Acrysof SN60AT(spherical IOL).Thor- ough ophthalmic examinations,including visual acuity,slit lamp examinations,fundoseopy,wavefront aberrometry,contrast sensitivity, were performed 1 week,1 month and 3 months after surgery.Main Outcome Measures Visual acuity,the best corrected visual acuity, spherical aberration(C 12),the root mean square of the total higher-order aberration(RMSh),and contrast sensitivity at 4 kinds of light backgrounds.Results At 1 postoperative month,RMSh(0.30?0.68?m)and C12(0.07,?0.04?m)in aspherical IOL group were signifi- cantly lower than those of the spherical IOL group(0.49?0.14?m,0.36?0.06?m)(P=0.00)with a 6.0 mm aperture.At 3 postoperative months the RMSh(0.30?0.07?m)and C12(0.06?0.06?m)in aspherical IOL group were significantly lower than those of the spherical IOL group(0.47?0.14?m,0.34?0.06?m)(P=0.00)with a 6.0 mm aperture.The asphefieal IOL(Acrysof IQ)provided statistically sig- nificant better contrast sensitivity at all spatial frequencies under mesopic conditions(3 cd/m~2)with and without glare(P

Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV) belong to the family Filoviridae. Filoviruses cause severe filovirus hemorrhagic fever (FHF) in humans, with high case fatality rates, and represent potential agents for bioterrorism and biological weapons. It is necessary to keep surveillance of filoviruses, even though there is no report of their isolation and patients in China so far. To characterize MARV morphology, the Lake Victoria marburgvirus--Leiden was stained negatively and observed under a transmission electron microscope which is one of important detection methods for filoviruses in emergencies and bioterrorism. MARV showed pleomorphism, with filamentous, rod-shaped, cobra-like, spherical, and branch-shaped particles of uniform diameter but different lengths. Pleomorphism of negatively stained MARV is summarized in this article, so as to provide useful information for possible electron microscopic identification of filoviruses in China.

OBJECTIVETo study the possible mechanisms of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis (CNP) pain.

METHODSCNP models were established in male Wistar rats by the autoimmune method. Then the paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) was detected using the Von Frey filament, prostate pathological examination was conducted, the expressions of substance P (SP) and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) in the prostate tissue and L5-S2 spinal segments were determined by immunohistochemistry and their correlations were analyzed.

RESULTSCompared with the control group, the CNP model rats showed markedly decreased PWT (P < 0.05) and obvious inflammation in the prostate tissue, with significant differences in the scope of lesion and interstitial lymphocyte infiltration (P < 0.05). The expressions of SP and TRPV1 in the prostate and spinal cord dorsal horn L5-S2 were remarkably upregulated in the models as compared with the control rats (P < 0.05). However, the expression of SP in the prostate was not correlated with that in the spinal cord (r = 0.099, P = 0.338), nor was that of TRPV1 (r = 0.000, P = 0.5).

CONCLUSIONSP and TRPV1 were involved in the formation and persistence of pain in CNP rats through their upregulated expressions in the L5-S2 spinal segments.

OBJECTIVETo explore the possible pain mechanism of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS).

METHODSThe models of CP/CPPS were established in male Wistar rats by the autoimmune method. The paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) was detected using Von Frey filament. The expressions of the substance P and c-fos in the prostate and spinal L5-S2 segments were determined by immunohistochemistry followed by analysis of their correlation with CP/CPPS.

RESULTSCompared with the control rats, the CP/CPPS models showed significantly decreased PWT (P < 0.05), remarkable prostatic inflammation, enlarged scope of lesions, and obvious interstitial lymphocytic infiltration (P < 0.05). Both the expressions of substance P and c-fos were markedly elevated in the prostate and spinal dorsal horn (L5-S2) of the rat models (P < 0.05), but the expression of substance P in the prostate exhibited no correlation with that in the spinal cord (r = 0.099, P = 0.338), nor did that of c-fos (r = 0.027, P = 0.454).

CONCLUSIONThe upregulated expressions of substance P and c-fos in the spinal cord L5-S2 sections may be associated with the pain mechanism of CP/CPPS.
