Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2013;(5):452-455
Background Retinal neovascularization disease is a group of threatening-vision eye diseases.Researches showed that cathepsin B is involved in angiogenesis.Exploring a drug which inhibit retinal blood vessels will provide the basis for the molecular mechanism of these diseases.Objective This study was to investigate the inhibitory role of cathepsin B-RNAi-lentivirus on retinal angiogenesis.Methods Sixty 7-day-old C57BL/6J mice were raised together with maternal mice in the closed box with the oxygen concentration of (75-2)% for 5 days to establish the retinal angiogenesis mouse models.The mice were then taken into the normal air environment for continuous raise and were randomized into 3 groups.NC-GFP-LV of 1 μl and the equal volume of cathepsin B-RNAi-lentivirus was intravitreously injected respectively in 40 eyes in the control group and the gene treatment group,and no drug was administered in the 40 eyes of the model group.The mice were sacrificed and retinas were obtained.Expression of cathepsin B protein in the retina was detected by Western blot assay (cathepsin B/β-actin).Real-time PCR was used to detect and compare the expression level of cathepsin B mRNA (2△△Ct).FITC-dextran was used to perform heart infusion for the retinal stretched preparation 5 days after intravitreously injection.Retinal neovascularization was examined by fluorescent angiography.Results The expression level (2-△△Ct) of cathepsin B mRNA was 0.74 ±0.12 in the gene treatment group,showing a significant decline in comparison with 1.66±0.17 and 1.58±0.29 in the model group and control group (q--0.746,1.588,P< 0.01).The expression level of cathepsin B protein (cathepsin B/β-actin) in the retina was 0.64±0.06,0.93±0.09 and 0.96±0.09 respectively in the gene treatment group,model group and control group,indicating a significant reduce in the gene treatment group (q =0.637,0.894,P<0.01).Distorted vessels were seen in the mice retinas of the model group with more branches and vascular anastomosis,and fluorescine leakage was exhibited under the fluorescence microscope.However,the vessels were regular with less branches and angiogenesis.Conclusions Cathepsin B-RNAi-lentivirus can effectively inhibit oxygen-induced retinal angiogenesis in mouse.

Objective To investigate the effects of telmisartan on the blood glucose, blood lipid, blood insulin, and insulin resistance in the hypertensive patients with dyslipidemia, and also its effect on controlling blood pressure. Patients and Methods A total of 96hypertensive patients (34 females, 62 males) with dyslipidemia were included (mean age 51.2±9.6, range 42-65 years). Patients were randomized to receive either telmisartan 80 mg/day (n=46) or enalapril 10 mg/day (n=50) for 6 months. The levels of blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and biochemical data were measured before therapy and at the end of the 3-month treatment and 6-month treatment, respectively. Meanwhile, insulin resistance was evaluated by using a homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IS). Results In the telmisartan group, the mean blood pressure was obviously lower than that of pre-therapy (P<0.05), and the levels of triglyceride (TG), HOMA-IR, and HOMA-IS were all obviously lower than those of pre-therapy and of the enalapril group at the end of the 3-month-treatment period (P<0.05). After 6 months of treatment, the levels of TG, HOMA-IR, and HOMA-IS in the telmisartan group were significantly lower in comparison with those of pre-therapy, the enalapril group (P<0.01), and 3-month-treatment (P<0.05). Post-prandial12 hour blood glucose (P2HBG) in the telmisartan group decreased significantly after 6-month treatment compared with that of pre-therapy and the enalapril group (P<0.05). The level of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol was significantly higher after 6-month treatment in the telmisartan group than with pre-therapy and the enalapril group(P<0.05). Conclusions Telmisartan could not only control blood pressure steadily and effectively, but also decrease blood TG, increase HDL cholesterol and insulin sensitivity, and lower insulin resistance.

A molecular template synthetic polymer highly selective for norfloxacinum was prepared by a molecular imprinting technique. The selective binding characteristics of the template polymer was evaluated by Scatchard analysis. The multiple-sites binding model was used to calculate the maximum numher of binding sites and the dissociation constant. The results showed that the template polymer using methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer could form two kinds of binding sites. The dissociation constants were estimated to be Kd1 = 2.9 × 10-5mol/L and Kd2 = 3.2 × 10-3 mol/L. The selective binding experiment for substrates indicated that the polymer gave much higher affinity and selectivity for norfloxacin than for acid pipemidic and cefalexin. It is possible to be a good adsorption and binding material in the selective enrichment and determination of trace norfloxacin in complex biosamples.
