AIM: To investigate the clinical therapeutic effects of human umbilical vein (HUV)implantation and mitomycin C (MMC) in non-penetrating trabecular surgery (NPTS). METHODS:A total of 32 patients (46 eyes) with uncontrolled primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) were divided into two groups: HUV+MMC group (n=25), SKGEL+MMC group (n=21). The procedure commenced with the creation of a limbus based conjunctival flap. After the dissection of a superficial limbus based rectangular scleral flap, MMC(0.4mg/mL) was used superior and inferior surface of the superficial scleral flap for three minutes. A second limbus based scleral flap was carefully dissected beneath the previous one towards the choroid. Schlemm's canal was deroofed during the extension of the deep scleral flap toits limbal edges. HUV or SKGEL fixed on the bed of sclera in experimental group. Postoperative examinations were performed at 1 week,2,4 weeks;2,6,12 months. IOP,best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA), functional blebs and success rate were examined. RESULTS: There were no statistically differences with postoperative IOP in HUV+MMC group and SKGEL+MMC group (P>0.05) during 1 week to 12 months. There was no difference with postoperative function blebs and the change of BCVA during 1 week to 12 months between HUV+MMC group and SKGEL+MMC group (P>0.05).At 12 months after surgery, the success rate was 84% in HUV+MMC group,86% in SKGEL+MMC group. CONCLUSION: The application of HUV in NPTS can prevent the adhesion of filtering channel and it can improve the success rate of NPTS. Compared with SKGEL, HUV has lower price. So it is a better implant.

Herpetin (HPT) is an active monomer constituent isolated from lignanoid in seeds of Herpetospermum caudigerum. HPT shows inhibitory effects in hepatic injury and HBV-DNA and the replication. In the study, we successfully prepare herpetin liposomes by film dispersion method for the first time. The prescription process was optimized, with the entrapment efficiency as the index. According to the optimized prescription, the mass ratio of HPT: phospholipids: cholesterol was 2.44:78.05: 19.51, the hydration and de-molding process was performed with 0.5% F68 solution at 50 degrees C, and the water-bath ultrasonic time was 20 min. The HPT liposomes prepared by this method showed an average entrapment efficiency of (94.50 +/- 2.15)% and a particle size of (119.2 +/- 10.7) nm, which was consistent with the trial expectations and will lay a solid foundation for the hepatic targeting delivery system in future.

ABSTRACT:Objective To explore the effects of miRNA-1246 (miR-1246)on cell proliferation,invasion and migration in human cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC)cell line SiHa.Methods SiHa cells were assigned into 3 groups:miR-1246 analog group,miR-1246 antagonist group and control group.Transfection efficiency was determined.The MTT assay,transwell assay and wound healing assay were performed respectively to evaluate the proliferation,invasion and migration abilities of SiHa cells.Western blot was carried out to detect the expression of thrombospondin-2 (THBS2)before and after transfection.A THBS2 3’-UTR-containing dual luciferase plasmid was synthesized and co-transfected with miR-1246 into SiHa cells to observe the luciferase enzyme activity.Results MTT assay,transwell assay and wound healing assay revealed that the abilities of proliferation,migration and invasion were significantly enhanced (P<0.01)in SiHa cells transfected with miR-1246 analog,but suppressed in SiHa cells transfected with miR-1246 antagonist.Western blot showed that SiHa cells transfected with miR-1246 analog had significantly decreased THBS2 expression (gray value = 6 .2 8 ± 1 0 .2 2 , P=0 .0 1 3 ) while those transfected with miR-1246 antagonist had significantly increased THBS2 expression (gray value = 12.90±19.81, P=0.037).After co-transfected with miR-1246 and THBS2 3’-UTR-containing plasmid,SiHa cells exhibited a decreased level of luciferase enzyme expression.Conclusion miR-1246 promoted the proliferation,invasion and migration of CSCC SiHa cell, and it might promote CSCC tumorigenesis and progression by suppressing the expression of its target gene THBS2 .

High-performance liquid chromatographic coupled with variable wavelength detection (HPLC-VWD) has been developed for simultaneous determination of 5 analytes including ellagic acid, quercetin, kaempferol-3-O-beta-D-rutinoside, tiliroside and kaempferol, and high-performance liquid chromatographic with an evaporative light scattering detector (HPLC-ELSD) has been established to determine goshonoside-F5 in extract of Rubi Fructus. Chromatographic separations were carried out on an Agilent ZORBAX SB-C18 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5.0 microm). All calibration curves of reference standards revealed good linearity (R2 > 0.999 5) within the concentration ranges tested. The method limits of detection ranged 0.297-90.144 ng and the method limits ofquantitation ranged 0.990-300.480 ng, respectively. Recoveries of 6 analytes were from 97.11% to 101.7%, with RSD less than 2.1%. The result shows that amounts of the 6 analytes in the samples from 16 localities were found to be different. The higher latitude of growing environment, the more ellagic acid in herb. The content of total flavonoids in sample from east localities were higher than that in middle and west localities, and the content of goshonoside-F5 in Bozhou, Anhui province was higher than others. This method was found to be simple, accurate, sensitive with good repeatability. Those results might serve as a sound foundation for further study, quality control and application of Rubi Fructus.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the protective effect and its mechanisms of Sinomenium acutum polysaccharide on mice with acute alcoholic liver injury. METHODS:60 mice were randomly divided into blank control group (normal saline),model group (normal saline),bifendate group (positive control,150 mg/kg) and S. acutum polysaccharide low-dose,medium-dose, high-dose groups(100,200,400 mg/kg),10 in each group,intragastrically administrated,once a day,for continual 7 d. 1 h af-ter last administration,mice received 50% ethanol (0.1 mL/10 g) intragastrically to induce acute alcoholic liver injury model ex-cept for those in blank control group. After 12 h,alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST)levels in se-rum,malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione(GSH),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)levels in liv-er tissue of mice were determined;hematoxylin-eosin staining was conducted to observe the pathological changes in liver tissue;flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis rate. RESULTS:Compared with blank control group,mice in model group showed pathological changes in edema,disordered cell arrangement and local necrosis;ALT and AST levels in serum,MDA level in liver tissue and hepatocyte apoptotic rate were significantly increased,while the SOD,GSH and GSH-Px levels in liver tissue were significantly decreased,with statistical significances (P<0.01). Compared with model group,cell degeneration and necrosis degree of mice were improved in S. acutum polysaccharide medium-dose and high-dose groups;except for cell apoptosis rate of liver in S. acutum polysaccharide low-dose group was not decreased significantly,the above-mentioned indicators in other treatment groups were significantly improved(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:S. acutum polysaccharide shows obvious protective effect on mice with acute alcoholic liver injury,its mechanism might re-late to anti-oxidation stress and inhibiting hepatocyte apoptosis.
