Aim To investigate the effects of EDT on anoxia and ischemic injury in cultured PC12 cells. Methods Cultured PC12 cells were treated with 1 mmol?L -1 Na 2S 2O 4 and 20 mmol?L -1 NaCN in combination with glucose deprivation. The protective effects of EDT on these two models were evaluated by lactate dehydrogenate (LDH) efflux assay and colormetric MTT assay.ResultsEDT, within the range of 10 -8～ 10 -6 mol?L -1, significantly antagonized LDH efflux induced by two models and increased the optical density at 570 nm tested by colorimetric MTT assay in concentration-dependent manner. 10 -6 mol?L -1 EDT might time-dependently inhibit two injuries and reach maximal level at 48 h. Conclusion EDT can protect PC12 cells from anoxia and ischemic injury.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the effect of maxadilan, which specifically activates pituitary adenylate cycla-se-activating polypeptide type I receptor (PAC1 receptor), on the proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation potential of human adipose-derived stem cells ( ASCs) .METHODS:ASCs from human adipose tissue were isolated by enzymatic di-gestion and cultured.ASCs were confirmed by the analysis of the markers for cell phenotypes by flow cytometry ( FCM) and adipogenic/osteogenic induction.The effect of maxadilan on ASCs viability was analyzed by CCK-8 assay and FCM.ASCs were irradiated by ultraviolet C ( UVC) at 254 nm and the absorbance of apoptotic ASCs induced by various doses of UVC was measured by CCK-8 assay.ASCs were exposed to 702 J/m2 UVC for 24 h to induce apoptosis.The effect of maxadilan on ASC apoptosis was analyzed by FCM and the determination of caspase 3 and caspase 9 levels.RESULTS:Adipose-de-rived stem cells were confirmed by the detection of the positive expression of cell phenotypes including CD29, CD44, CD59 and CD105 by FCM.The data of CCK-8 assay revealed that ASCs treated with maxadilan (80 nmol/L) had the strongest ability of proliferation.The data of FCM also demonstrated that the addition of 80 nmol/L maxadilan to ASCs in experimen-tal group markedly improved the proliferation capacity of the cells compared with control group (P<0.05).The apoptosis of ASCs exposed to 702 J/m2UVC was dramatically inhibited by the treatment with maxadilan (80 nmol/L).Such process involved the caspase signaling pathway including caspase 3 and caspase 9.There was statistical significance (P<0.05) between experiment group ( ASCs irradiated by UVC and supplemented with maxadilan) and control group ( ASCs only irra-diated by UVC) .Meanwhile, adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation potentials were both positive in experiment group and control group.CONCLUSION:Maxadilan promotes proliferation and inhibits apoptosis of the ASCs.The differentia-tion potential of ASCs toward adipogenic and osteogenic lineages wouldn’ t be altered by maxadilan.Maxadilan would bene-fit to growth and expansion of ASCs in vitro.

[ABSTRACT]AIM:ToinvestigatethepromotingroleofTranswellcontactco-culturesysteminthegrowthand differentiation of single-dissociated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).METHODS:Bovine corneal endothelial cells (CECs) at passage 1~2 (P1~2) were seeded on the underside of Transwell inserts placed into culture plates and were cultured in 37 ℃and 5%CO2 for 8 h.Accutase digestion and 40μm filter process disaggregated colony-aggregated iPSCs into single-dissociated iPSCs , and the cells were seeded on the inside of Transwell inserts with CECs in medium of mTeSR 1 for 3 d and then in low-glucose DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS for 2 weeks.The characteristics and differentiation markers were evaluated by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction ( qPCR ) , immunofluorescence staining, live&dead cell staining and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining.The group of iPSCs cultured in conventional medium was used as control group 1.The group of single-dissociated iPSCs co-cultured with CECs was set as experimental group, while single-dissociated iPSCs without co-culture were as control group 2.RESULTS: The bovine CECs showed typical hexagonal cobblestone shape .iPSCs showed colony-like growth , while became single-dissociated cells after Tran-swell contact co-culture with bovine CECs for 3 d.The single-dissociated iPSCs positively expressed the undifferentiated markers, Nanog and Oct4.The mRNA expression levels of Nanog , Oct4 and Sox2 between experimental group and control group 1 were both positive and had no statistical significance difference (P>0.05).The dead cells in experimental group decreased significantly, and there was statistically significant difference compared to control group 2 (P<0.01).After 14 d of induced differentiation co-culture , the single-dissociated iPSCs showed rather uniform polygonal morphology , increased dimension and no obvious colony existence .Negative ALP staining, positive immunofluorescence staining for ZO-1, AQP1 and CD31, and negative for CD34 and CD133 were also observed.The results of qPCR showed that the mRNA expression of Oct4, Nanog and Sox2 significantly decreased , and had statistically significant difference compared with control group 1 (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: When co-cultured with bovine CECs, iPSCs morphologically changed to endothelial-like cells and expressed some markers of CECs .Transwell contact co-culture system not only enhances the growth of single-dis-sociated iPSCs , but also promotes their differentiation .

Objective:To investigate the association of thyrotropin receptor antibodies(TRAb) with the sensitivity to glucocorticoid therapy in Graves′s ophthalmopathy(GO) patients.Methods:Total 37 subjects with active GO were treated with prednisone. According to the relieve degree and clinical activity of their eye symptoms post-steroid treatment, patients were grouped into sensitive group(S) and non-sensitive group(NS). TRAb positive rate and antibody titer of the two groups were compared.Results:In S group( n=28 ), the positive rate and titre of TRAb were 76.53% and (12.54?5.62) U/L, respectively; The positive rate and titre of TRAb post-treatment were 22.18% and (7.82?4.91) U/L, respectively, were significant lower than data prior treatment. In NS group( n=9 ), the positive rate and titre of TRAb prior treatment were 67.24% and (11.07?4.63) U/L, respectively; The positive rate and titre of TRAb post-treatment were 59.74% and (10.81?5.96) U/L, there was no significant difference with data prior treatment. Prior treatment, there was no significant difference of TRAb titres between the two groups. Post-treatment, TRAb titres in NS group were significant higher than in S group.Conclusion:The variations of TRAb level were closely correlated with the sensitivity to glucocorticoid therapy in GO patients. Serum TRAb level can be used as a major index to evaluate therapeutic sensitivity to glucocorticoid therapy in GO.

?AlM: To study the correlation between monocular mild myopic juvenile myopia degree and dominant eye.
? METHODS: Totally 158 patients with juvenile monocularly mild myopia in our hospital from December 2012 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed, and cylindrical mirror astigmatism was used for spherical equivalent conversion. On the basis of the myopic degree, they were divided into three groups, 30 cases in group A (-0. 25~-0. 75D), 92 cases in B group (-1. 0~-2. 0D), 36 cases in group C (-2. 25 ~ -3. 0D). The card hole method was selected to measure dominant eye for subjectsat nearly 33cm and 5m. After glasses correction of ametropia, the far and near dominant eyes were received measurement again.
?RESULTS:The monocular mild myopia of dominant eye was compared with the non-dominant eye adjustment function, and there was no significant difference ( P>0. 05 ) . The dominant eye, non - dominant eye mean diopter and other correlations of eyes in the three groups were compared, and there was no significant difference (P>0. 05). The dominant eye of three groups at 5m was compared, and there was significant difference (P<0. 05). The dominant eye of three groups at 33cm was compared, and there was significant difference (P<0. 05). Dominant eye at different visual distance was compared, and there was significant difference (P<0. 05). Monocular uncorrected eye was compared with dominant eye mild afte myopia glassesr, and there was significant difference (P< 0. 05).
?CONCLUSlON: The formation of myopic anisometropia is related to the degree of clearly seeing objects, although glasses correction can improve the clarity and visual, but affect the choice of the dominant eye, because the myopic anisometropia appears most early in the dominant eye, therefore optician correction stage, which should be taken into consideration, and avoid the severity of the adolescent myopia.
