AIM: To investigate whether potassium cyanate can inactivate glyceraldehydes 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and thioltransferase (TTase) in bovine lens.METHODS: Fresh intact bovine lenses were incubated with 100mmol/L potassium cyanate (KCNO) for 7 and 12 days respectively. Then all lens were incubated in 50mmol/L DMEM solution. The proteins in the watersoluble fractions from the normal control and the cyanate-modified lens were extracted. The activity of GAPDH and TTase in the water-soluble fraction after incubation at 37℃ was measured by spectrophotometer.RESULTS: GAPDH activity was significantly lower in the cyanate-modified lens proteins than that of the normal control (P<0.01), and considerably diminished in protein incubated with 100mmol/L potassium cyanate for 12 days. There were statistically significant differences in the activity of TTase between the normal control lenses and the carbamylated lenses incubated for 7 days (P<0.05) and 12 days (P<0.01). However. there was no statistical difference between the samples incubated with 100mmol/L KCNO for 7 and 12 days (P=0.19296).CONCLUSION: This study provides evidence to show carbamylation is able to inactivate GAPDH and TTase in bovine lenses. This may have implications for the susceptibility of lenticular GAPDH and TTase to carbamylation, and also for the research on pathogenesis of cataract.

[Summary] The incidences of obesity and its associated diseases are increasing worldwide.Bariatric surgery leads to more sustainable weight loss and better glycemic control compared with conservative medical treatment. Potential mechanisms mediating the improvement in glycemic control after bariatric surgery include changes in the levels of food intake, gastrointestinal hormones, bile acids as well as intestinal bacterial flora.

Background Free-flap Epi-LASIK surgery show a fast epithelial healing and mild trauma responses.Its mechanism is notable. Objective The aim of this study was to compare the corneal epithelial healing response following photorefractive keratectomy(PRK)and flap-free Epi-LASIK surgery. Methods Twelve experimental rabbits were randomly assigned to high cutting group(-10.00 D)and low cutting group(-3.00 D),and 2 normal matched rabbits were used as controls.PRK was performed in lateral eyes and flap-free epipolis laser in situkeratomileusis(Epi-LASIK)surgery was curried out in the fellow eyes.The corneal wound healing response in early stage of post-operation was examined under the slim lamp,and the inflammatory cells infiltration in cornea,basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)and nuclear transcription factor(NF-KB)expressions in corneal stroma were detected by hematine-eosin staining and immunohistochemstry in the seventh day after operation. Results The inflammatory reaction was milder in the eyes with Epi-LASIK than ones of PRK under the slim lamp.No significant difierences were found in numbers of inflammatory cells in cornea.expressions of bFGF and NF-κB in corneal stroma between two types of surgeries in low cutting group(P＞0.05).In high cutting group,the numbers of inflammatory cells were(12.25±1.22)/400 field in PRK eyes,and those of free-flap Epi-LASIK eyes were(6.67±0.31)/400 field,showing obvious difference between them(t=-8.87,P＜0.01).Expressions of NF-κB(A value)in cornea were 6.11±1.36 and 41.82±8.7 1 in PRK eyes of low cutting group and high cutting group.and those in free-flap Epi-LASIK were 3.01±0.81 and 11.59±4.55.indicating a drastically increase in PRK eyes(P＜0.05).The expressions of bFGF(A value)in corneal stroma were 33.59±6.98 and 123.68±18.81 in PRK eyes and those in free-flap Epi-LASIK eyes were 69.20±8.85 and 123.68±1 8.81 in low cutting group and high cutting group,presenting a considerably decrease in PRK eyes (P＜0.05).The corneal epithelial healing was faster in free-flap Epi-LASIK eyes than that in PRK eyes.and deeper cutting slowed the healing procedure. Conclusion In low cutting group,healing time of corneal epithelium is close between PRK and flap-free Epi-LASIK.But in high cutting group,epithelial healing is faster and inflammatory reaction is lighter in flap-free Epi-LASIK compared with PRK.

Objective To examine the serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)levels in subjects with type 2 diabetic mellitus(DM)or DM accompanied by cerebral infarction(DM+CI),and the relationship be- tween the serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)levels,and to investigate risk factors of cerebral infarc- tion in patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus.Methods The serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)lev- els were measured in 50 DM patients,50 DM+CI patients and 30 healthy controls by ultra-sensitive immunoassay. hs-CRP values and its relationship with cerebral infarction in patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus and other factors, such as age,BMI,TG,etc,were analyzed.Results Univariate analysis revealed significant differences in hs-CRP concentrations between controls[(0.73?0.46)mg/L]and subjects with DM[(2.26?1.38)mg/L],or subjects with DM+CI[(3.82?2.67)mg/L](P

Objective: To evaluate the inhibitory effects of recombinant adenovirus carrying TEM8 (Ad-TEM8) against angiogenesis and growth of mouse glioma G422 cells in vitro and in vivo. Methods: The Ad-TEM8 was constructed and subcutaneously injected to immunize Kunming mice, and then the splenic lymphocytes were collected for co-culture with G422 cells in vitro. The growth inhibition of G422 cells was observed and IFN-γ secretion by the activated lymphocytes were examined by ELISOT method. In addition, the anti-tumor and anti-angiogenesis effects ofAd-TEM8 were observed in Kunming mice carrying G422 xeno grafts. Results: Ad-TEM8 effectively stimulated the generation of cytotoxic Tlymphocytes (CTLs)in Kunming mice and the secretion of IFN-γ. Subcutaneous injection of Ad-TEM8-induced cytotoxicity effectively inhibited in vivo tumor growth and angiogenesis. Conclusion: Ad-TEM8 can induce CTLs in mice, inhibit tumor growth in vitro and in vivo, and disrupt tumor vasculature. The anti-angiogenesis effect might be a mechanism for its in vivo anti-tumor effect; and TEM8 may serve as a novel target for anti-angiogenesis therapy of glioma.
