Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(47):7703-7708
BACKGROUND:Currently, in pterygium excision combined with limbal epithelial transplantation, there were stil some controversies about whether the medical fibrin glue could instead of stitch fixing autologous conjunctival graft. OBJECTIVE:To compare the therapeutic effect of medical fibrin glue and stitch in pterygium excision combined with limbal epithelial transplantation using Meta analysis. METHODS: The randomized controled trials about the therapeutic effect of medical fibrin glue versus stitch in pterygium excision combined with limbal epithelial transplantation were reviewed from PubMed database, CNKI ful-text database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, VIP database and Wanfang database from database creation to June 2015. The operative time, complications and recurrence rate of these two groups were analyzed using Meta. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 14 randomized controled trials, and 879 patients were enroled. Meta-analysis results showed that the operative time, incidence of postoperative complications, the relapse rate after six months and one-year in the fibrin glue group were lower than those in the suture group [MD=-15.58, 95%CI (-18.96,-12.21),P < 0.000 01]; [OR=0.39, 95%CI(0.19, 0.68),P=0.02]; [OR=0.28, 95%CI(0.12, 0.65),P=0.003]; [OR=0.23, 95%CI(0.07, 0.76),P=0.02]. These results demonstrate that the application of fibrin glue in pterygium excision combined with limbal stem cel transplantation can promote graft attachment, shorten the operation time, reduce postoperative complications and reduce the postoperative recurrence of pterygium.

Aim To explore the effects of hypertension on the contractibility of rat basilar artery and its inter-actions with the sodium pump activity.Methods The basilar artery was respectively isolated from Wistar and SHR rats,and the isometric tension of arterial rings was measured by Multi Myograph System-610M.The cont-ractibilities of arterial rings induced by KCl or 5-HT were compared between the basilar arteries of the two groups of rats to analyze the effect of hypertension on the cerebral vascular tension and the activity of sodium pump.Results In SHR rats,the concentration-re-sponse curves of the contraction of isolated basilar ar-tery rings induced by KCl and 5-HT were significantly shifted to right,and the relaxation of vascular tone in-duced by K+which was reintroduced from the external was attenuated compared with those in the WR.These results suggested that hypertension could significantly decrease the activity of the sodium pump and the con-tractile responses of KCl and 5-HT.OUA could con-tract the basilar artery in a concentration-dependent manner,and its concentration-response curve was opti-mally fitted by a two-site binding model:Kd was 1.7 ×10 -8 and 1.6 ×10 -5 mol·L-1,respectively.The results indicated that the two different function sodium pumps existed in the rat basilar artery:one with the high OUA affinity and the other with the low OUA af-finity.If the high and low affinity sodium pumps were inhibited by 5 ×10 -7 and 10 -4 mol · L-1 OUA,re-spectively,the concentration-response curves of KCl and 5-HT would shift to left in SHR rats but not in WR rats.It suggested that OUA could enhance the contrac-tion induced by KCl and 5-HT significantly,and a concentration-dependent effect was observed in the SHR vascular contraction induced by 5-HT (r =0.9393 ,P<0.05 ).When the two concentrations of OUA were applied,there was no significant difference in the shift left of the concentration-response curves in-duced by KCl in the SHR cerebral vessels.However, the marked difference was shown in the shift left in-duced by 5-HT.The results implied that only the high affinity sodium pump was involved in the contractile re-sponse of SHR cerebral vascular to KCl,whereas,the contractile response of SHR cerebral vascular to 5-HT was induced by both high and low affinity sodium pumps.Conclusion Hypertension could lower the contractile response of the basilar artery to vasocon-strictors,and the mechanism might relate to the de-creased sensitivity of the sodium pump induced by hy-pertension or the increased sensibility of the sodium pump to OUA.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of caspase-3 in the brain of acutely pentylenetetrazole(PTZ)-kindled rats.MethodsThe caspase-3 positive cells were revealed using immunohistochemical SP method. CMIAS image analysis system was used to analyse the expression of caspase-3 hemi-quantitatively. ResultsFollowing PTZ induced epilepsy, the expression of caspase-3 increased both in the hippocampus and in the cortex, and that was more remarkable in the hippocampus than in the cortex.ConclusionCaspase-3 may be activated during neuronal apoptosis after epilepsy. Hippocampus is more sensitive to the neuronal damage due to epilepsy than the cortex is.

Objective To investigate if edema caused by rosiglitazone is associated with the change of aldosterone level. Methods Plasma aldosterone levels in different periods from patients treated with rosiglitazone combined with insulin were measured.Type 2 diabetes patients who have been treated with insulin alone were divided into two groups: patients treated with rosiglitazone(4mg/d) combined with insulin(RSG+insulin group), or treated with insulin alone (insulin group)(n=10). Aldosterone levels, incidence of edema and weight gain were monitored every two months during six months. Results The incidence of edema and weight gain were higher in RSG+insulin group than in insulin group. After two months, aldosterone levels were higher in RSG+insulin group than in insulin group[(77.8±25.9)vs(60.2±27.6)pg/ml,P>0.05],but it had no statistical difference; after four months, aldosterone levels were higher in RSG+insulin group than in insulin group[(87.2±27.1)vs (61.5±25.6) pg/ml,P<0.05]. After six months, aldosterone level recovered gradually,it had no statistical difference compared with that of control[(77.0±21.0)vs(69.6±21.7) pg/ml,P>0.05]. Conclusions The cause of early edema in type 2 diabetic patients treated with rosiglitazone combined with insulin was probably assosiated with elevated aldosterone level.

Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma(DDCS)comprises approximately 10%of all chondrosarcomas and has the worst outcome with a 5-year survival of 10%.The preferred localizations are the femur,humerus and pelvis.DDCS represents a special form of chondrosarcoma characterized by the presence of well-differentiated cartilaginous component in juxtaposition with malignant mesenchymal tumor of high-malignancy grade.The diagnosis of DDCS is highly complicated,requiring detailed radiological and histopathological evaluation as well as precise bioptic technique.The dedifferentiated component is typically a high-grade sarcoma(usually grade 3 or 4),which can be either an osteosarcoma,a malignant fibrous histiocytoma or an anaplastic spindle cell sarcoma.In approximately one-third of the radiographs,one-third of the MR images,and one-half of the CT scans, the tumors demonskates bimorphic features.Recently,array-based comparative genomic hybridization(array-CGH)studies have been performed on frozen chondrosarcoma(including DDCS)specimens.There is a statistically significant association between high-grade tumor(grade Ⅲ and dedifferent ated)and the recurrent genetic deletions at 5q14.2~q21.3,6q16~q25.3,9p24.2~q12,and 9p21.3.One of the most commonly deleted regions of DDCS involved chromosome 9.Earlier investigations of DDCS showed p53 mutation and p53-LOH in the anaplastic component.It is also accompanied by Rt-LOH.P161NK4 and E-cadherin promotor methylation were observed in the low grade chondroid compartment of DDCS.While p161NK4,FHIT,and E-cadherin were methylated in highly malignant osteosarcomatous compartment of the tumor.Surgical resection of the tumor within wide or radical margins is the most important treatment.The value of neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy remain uncertain.Several new drug targets have been identified and phase Ⅱ studies are currently ongoing.Current phase Ⅱ trials open for DDCS patients used the following medicine:apomab(proapoptotic selective agonist of Ap02L/TRAIL death receptor),perifosine(serine/threonine kinase Akt inhibitor),dasatinib(multitargeted small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor),and the combination of gemcitabine and docetaxel.More recently,several phase Ⅰ studies have reported incidental responses of DDCS to newer targeted agents,such as histone deacetylase and vascular endothelial growth factor antisense oligodeoxynucleotide.The prognosis for patients with DDCS remains poor. The poor prognosis of the DDCS is determined by nonchondroid high grade component caused by invasive growth and formation of metastases.Therefore,early diagnosis and prompt surgical treatment may improve the outcome.
