1.Influence of pan retinal photocoagulation on diabetic retinal and corneal
International Eye Science 2015;(8):1363-1366
Diabetic retinopathy ( DR ) is one of the most serious microvascular complications of diabetes. It also is a world's major causes of blind eye diseases. Although the injection of anti - vascular endothelial growth factor intraocular drug is becoming a hotspot of current research. Pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP) remains the effective and economical treatment for DR. As a destructive treatment, PRP will inevitably cause some changes on the normal morphology and function of the retinal and cornea. Currently, with the development of the optical coherence tomography, confocal microscopy and other auxiliary examination, we have more accurate and objective research to better understand the laser-neural tissue interaction. This may help us to protect the patient's visual function more efficiently.

Objective: To study the correlation of blood stasis syndrome or its accompanied syndromes with Gensini score in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) in stable condition. Methods: The syndrome types of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and blood stasis score in 131 CHD patients confirmed by coronary angiography were recorded. Gensini score was calculated according to the coronary pathological characteristics showed by angiography. The correlations of blood stasis syndrome and its accompanied syndromes with coronary lesion and Gensini score were analyzed. Results: Among the TCM syndrome types, blood stasis, turbid phlegm and qi deficiency were the most common syndromes, revealed in 85 patients (64.9%), 83 patients (63.4%) and 85 patients (64.9%), respectively. The coronary lesion length and Gensini score in the patients with blood stasis syndrome were much higher than those in the patients with non-blood stasis syndrome (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In the subtypes of blood stasis, the coronary lesion length and Gensini score in the patients with blood stasis accompanied by turbid phlegm syndrome were higher than those in the patients with non-blood stasis syndrome (P<0.05). And in the patients whose blood stasis syndrome score was more than 9 points, the coronary lesion length was higher than that in the patients whose blood stasis syndrome score was less than 9 points (P<0.05). Besides, with bivariate analysis, the blood stasis syndrome score showed no correlation with Gensini score (Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.104, P=0.241). Conclusion: Blood stasis syndrome is the most common TCM syndrome in CHD patients in stable condition. The blood stasis syndrome score is proportional to coronary lesion length, and reflects the severity of coronary lesion.

Pleiotrophin, discovered in 1989, was thought as a muhi-funetional growth factor; It plays an important role in tumor occurrence and central neural system. The latest research showed pleiotrophin signal pathway probably takes part in neural repair after peripheral nerve injury, especially in the followed crisis point, such as the protection of spinal cord neuron, the promotion of the speed of neuron axon regeneration, the guidance of neuron axon regeneration, skeleton muscle reirmervation. It potentially makes a key role in the guidance of neural axon regeneration in peripheral neural system and muscle reianervation. Along with the related researches go deep, pleiotrophin gene might become a controllable target for promoting the result of peripheral neural repair and reconstructing the neuromuscular junction.

Objective To investigate the functions of triple point-mutants of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α(HIF1α)in angiogenesis in bone defect region under normoxic conditions.Methods Triple point-mutations (the 402,564 and 803 amino acids)in HIF1α coding sequence (CDS)were induced.The triple mutant of HIF1α(402/564/803)was inserted into the adenovirus pAdEasy-1 system to complete viral packaging and titer measurements. The wild-type HIF1α gene and the empty adenovirus vector were packaged in the same way.For the in vitro experiment,the rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)were divided into four experimental groups:A,MSCs infected with viral solution containing mutant HIF1α;B,MSCs infected with viral solution containing wild-type HIF1α;C,MSCs infected with viral solution without any HIF1α;and D,MSCs without viral infection. The efficiency of infection was observed by the expression of human renilla reniformis green fluorescent protein (hrGFP).The expression levels of HIF1α mRNA and protein in infected cells in each experimental group were measured.For the in vivo experiment,the MSCs were divided into the same four groups and infected with the virus solutions from each group and cultured under normoxic conditions.At 72h after the infection,the MSCs were used as seed cells and transplanted into Apatite-wollastonite magnetic bioactive glass-ceramic (AW MGC)vector to construct artificial tissue-engineering scaffolds,and then the scaffolds were implanted into the in vivo rabbit radial bone defect model.The animals from each group were sacrificed 8 weeks after the surgery and the tissues from the implantation region were harvested for evaluation of angiogenesis.Results The 402,564 and 803 amino acids in CDS area were point mutated into alanine;three types of recombinant adenovirus were successfully constructed, packaged and characterized.The expression levels of HIF1αmRNA were significantly higher in Group A and Group B than in Group C and Group D (P <0.05 ).There was no significant difference between Group A and Group B group or between Group C and Group D (P >0.05 ).The HIF1α protein expression in Group A was significantly higher than that in the other three groups (P <0.05);however,there was no significant difference among groups B,C and D (P >0.05).There was prominent angiogenesis in bone defect region in Group A,but not in the other three groups.Conclusion ① Triple point-mutants of HIF1αefficiently expressed functional proteins under normoxic conditions.② Triple point-mutants of HIF1αeffectively promoted in vivo angiogenesis in bone defect region.
