Objective To investigate the interaction between NMDA receptor subunit 2B (NR2B) and metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) in the spinal cord of morphine-tolerant rats. Methods Sixteen male SD rats weighing 220-280 g were randomly divided into 2 groups with 8 rats in each group: control group (C) and morphine group (M). In group M morphine 10μg was administered intrathecally (IT) twice a day for 7 consecutive days. In group C equal volume of normal saline was given instead of morphine. Tail flick latency (TFL) (a segment of tail 4-5 cm long was immersed in 52-53℃ hot water) was used to measure the antinocicepitve effect of morphine before and 30 min after morphine administration every morning. MPE (percentage of maximal possible effect) was calculated (pain threshold after drug administration - baseline pain threshold)/(10- baseline pain threshold)× 100% . The animals were killed at the next day after last IT administration and the dorsal half of L4-5 spinal cord was isolated and homogenized for determination of NR2B and mGluR5 protein expression by Western blot and CO-IP. Results MPE was significantly increased at 1-5 d of drug administration and returned to baseline at 7 d in group M as compared with group C. The mGluR5 protein expression was significantly up-regulated in group M as compared with group C but there was no significant difference in NR2B protein expression between the 2 groups. Conclusion There is interaction between NK2B and mGluR5 in the spinal cord of morphine-tolerant rats.

The Tongmai Yangxin pill (TMYX) has potential clinical effects on no-reflow (NR); however, the effective substances and mechanisms by which this occurs remain unclear. This study evaluates the cardioprotective effects and molecular mechanisms of TMYX against NR. We used a myocardial NR rat model (2 h after myocardial ischemia and 2 h after reperfusion) to confirm the effect and mechanism of action of TMYX in alleviating NR.

Objective To discuss the effects of extract of Ginkgo BilobaLeaves(EGb) on expression of cytokine of renal interstitial fibrosis induced by transforming growth factor-?1 (TGF-?1) and extracellular matrix. Methods Cultured human kidney cells(HKC) were divided into three groups: control group,TGF-?1(8 ng/mL) group,and TGF-?1(8 ng/mL) added EGb(25,50,100,150 mg/L)group.After 72 h,expression of ?-SMA was detected by cell immunochemistry ABC,and collagen type I by Real-time PCR and Western blotting. Results Treated with TGF-?1(8 ng/mL) for 72 h,expression of ?-SMA and collagen type Ⅰ were up-regulated markedly compared with control group.Treated with EGb(25,50,100,150 mg/L)and TGF-?1(8 ng/mL)concomitantly for 72 h,expression of ?-SMA and collagen typeⅠ were down-regulated in dosage dependent manner compared with TGF-?1 group. Conclusion EGb can inhibit expression of ?-SMA and collagen type I in HKC induced by TGF-?1,and the possible mechanism might be related to the inhibition of EGb on renal tubular epithelial-myofibroblast transdifferentiation.

Background When limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) occurs,not only the limbal stem cells (LSCs) were damaged,but also the LSCs matrix microenvironment was under destruction.The treatment of LSCD include both replenishing of stem cells and restoration of microenvironment.So far,the method to improve the microenvironment of LSCD still exist limitation and urgently need to establish more appropriate microenvironment for the LSCs growth in vitro.Objective This study was to investigate whether the human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can be used as the ideal cells to repair limbal microenvironment and its possible mechanism of repairing limbal microenvironment during the human LSCs amplification in vitro as feeder cells.Methods BMSCs were cultured and passaged in vitro,and flow cytometry was used to assay the expressions of CD45,CD71,CD90,CD105 and HLA-DR and directionally induced BMSCs to the osteoblasts and adipocytes.BMSCs were treated using mitomycin C (MMC) to use as the feeder cells.LSCs were separately co-cultured with BMSCs,Swiss-3T3 feeder cells and free-feeder cells,and colony-forming efficiency (CFE) of the LSCs was compared among different co-cultured groups.LSCs were then cultured sequentially and identified by flow cytometry.Expression of cytokines in BMSCs was confirmed by reverse transcriptional polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results Cultured BMSCs showed a good homogeneity,with a lot of expressions of interstitial cell markers such as CD71,CD90,CD105 and less expressions of hematopoietic cell markers including CD45 and HLA-DR.After separately cocultured with feeder cells for 12 days,the CFE of the LSCs co-cultured with BMSCs,Swiss-3T3 and no feeder cells was 3.67% ±0.58%,4.30% ± 1.54% and 0.20% ±0.10%,showing a statistical significant difference among the three groups(F =15.420,P =0.040).There was no statistically significant difference in the C FE of the LSCs between the BMSCs feeder group and the Swiss-3T3 feeder cells group(P =0.456),between the BMSCs feeder group and the free-feeder cells group or the Swiss-3T3 co-culture group and the free-feeder cells group (P =0.005,0.002).LSCs presented with a positive response for ABCG2 antigen in the co-cultured with BMSCs group.Basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF),stem cell factor (SCF) and N-cadherin(N-cad) were positively expressed in the BMSCs as feeder cells.Conclusions Human BMSCs-derived feeder cells can improve the growth of the stromal microenvironment of the LSCs and enhance their proliferation ability.Human BMSCs are suitable for engineering of epithelial sheets.

Objective To investigate the effects of subretinal fluid drainage combined with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs in the treatment of severe exudative retinal detachment Coats disease.Methods Thirteen patients (13 eyes) with 3B Coats' disease diagnosed at the Eye Center of Tongren Hospital were included in the study.The participants were aged from 1 year to 11 years with a mean age of (4.15 ± 2.99) years.The visual acuity was no light perception in 1 case,from light perception to counting finger in 7 cases,from 0.01 to 0.1 in 2 cases,and could not be measured due to young in 3 cases.Patients underwent retinal fluid drainage combined with intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR,0.5 mg,0.05 mL) at the pars plana of ciliary body,and with retinal laser photocoagulation or cryotherapy according to the retinal peripheral vascular activity.During the follow-up,the visual acuity,intraocular pressure,slit lamp,indirect ophthalmoscope and color ophthalmoscope were examined and observed.The abnormal blood vessel change,absorption of subretinal fluid,retinal reattachment and complication were observed.Results Two subretinal fluid drainage were performed in 3 cases,one subretinal fluid drainage in 10 cases.Six cases were combined with two intravitreal injections,4 cases with three intravitral injection,3 cases with intravitreal injection for more than three times.Five cases were treated with simple photocoagulation,3 cases with simple retinal cryotherapy,and 5 cases with laser combined with cryotherapy.In 13 patients,the visual acuity was improved in 2 cases,unchanged in 8 cases,and could not be measured due to young in 3 cases.Eight cases had complete retinal reattachment.No significant postoperative complications occurred during follow-up,such as endophthalmitis,retinal hole and vitreous hemorrhage.Conclusion Subretinal fluid drainage combined with intravitreal injection is an effective method for severe 3B stage Coats disease.

Objective To investigate the effect of radiotherapy combined with interventional therapy on the changes of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients with advanced cervical cancer.Methods 62 cases of cervical cancer collected in the first people’s hospital of jingzhou city during January 2009 to February 2014 were randomly divided into two groups.The patients in group A were treated with radiotherapy, and the patients in group B were treated with radiotherapy combined with interventional therapy.The level of vascular endothelial growth factor in two groups after treatment was measured by enzyme-linked immunoassay.Results The level of vascular endothelial growth factor of group A was ( 241.77 ±85.86 )μg/L, significantly higher than ( 124.66 ±65.86 )μg/L of group B.The level of vascular endothelial growth factor was related with cervical deterioration degree, tumor stage and lymph nodes metastasis (P<0.05),not with the patient’s age, and the size of the tumors.The level of vascular endothelial growth can reflect the clinical efficacy of patients after therapy (P<0.05).Conclusion Vascular endothelial growth factor level has a close relationship with the degree of deterioration of cervical cancer, tumor staging, lymph node metastasis and the curative effect after the interventional therapy.
