Objective To study the effect of procyanidins (PC) on mRNA and protein expression of par-4 and bcl-2 genes in PC12 cells induced by A?_ 25-35 . Methods Cell survival rate was evaluated by MTT assay and apoptosis was analyzed by Hoechst 33258-PI fluorescence staining. The expressions of mRNA and protein for par-4 and bcl-2 were tested by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Results Pretreatment with different concentrations of PC (5、10、20, and 30 mg/L) for 1 h increased the survival rate of PC12 cell in a dose-dependent manner. PC prevented the PC12 cells nuclei from shrinkage, condensation, and cleavage induced by A?_ 25-35 . PC decreased the expression of par-4 mRNA and protein, and increased the expression of bcl-2 mRNA and protein. Conclusion PC can protect PC12 cells from apoptosis induced by A?_ 25-35 in a dose dependent manner. The mechanism of protection is likely related to decreasing the par-4 gene expression and increasing the bcl-2 gene expression.

Objective To investigate the role of community-based intervention among diabetic patients for the control of blood glucose,blood fat,blood pressure and body weight. Methods Patients in a specific community with type 2 diabetes mellitus were selected in the study,with 133 in the exercise group,200 in the integration group and 140 in the control group.Intervention and followup were conducted for 8 months,and clinical parameters including blood glucose were detected. Results Both exercise and integrated therapeutics could decrease the levels of fasting blood glucose(FBG) and postprandial 2-h blood glucose,with a more significant descending degree in the integration group than the exercise group(P

Objective To develop a real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR method for detection of Legionella pneumophila as a tool for environmental and clinical examination. Methods A pair of degen-erated primers and one TaqMan-MGB probe were designed to test the conserved region at the macrophage in-fective potentiation (mip) gene of Legionella pneumophila. TaqMan MGB real-time quantitative PCR assay was developed with pMD-19T plasmid including mip gene of Legionella pneumophila as standard sample. The sensitivity and specificity of the real-time quantitative PCR was evaluated using the standard sample and dif-ferent strains. Results The detection limit of 0.71 copy/μl was obtained for the standard sample in a reac-tion system of 0.6μl of sense and antisense primers (20μmol/L), respectively, 0.4μl of probe (20μmol/L) and 6.0μl of DNA temple. Conditions for the PCR reactions were as follows. After an initial de-naturation at 95℃ for 20s, 40 amplification cycles were performed. Each cycle consisted of denaturation at 95℃ for 10 s, primer annealing at 50℃ for45s. The PCR Ct value of a standard strain and 12 isolates was in a scale of 13.23 and 16.04. However, the Ct values of the strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Shigella sonnei were greater than 30. Conclusion The real-time quantitative PCR method has good sensitivity and specificity and the result has potentiality of applying for detecting Legionella pneumophila.

The rate of corneal graft rejection is still high for high-risk keratoplasty although immune suppression drug is routinely used.The role of traditional Chinese medicine in corneal transplantation is concerned gradually.Heijingpaichitang on the prevention and treatment of rats with high-risk corneal allograft rejection needs further study.Objective This study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of heijingpaichitang on high-risk corneal transplantation immune rejection in rats.Methods Sixteen female SD rats were used as the donors and 32female Wistar rats were served as recipients.The high-risk corneal trasplantation models were established by corneal suture in 32 Wistar rats,and then homogeneity variant SD-Wistar corneal transplantation was performed.The recipients were randomized into model control group,cyclosporinc A (CsA)group,heijingpaichitang group and CsA +heijingpaichitang group.CsA,heijingpaichitang and CsA + heijingpaichitang was orally administered 4 days after operation once per day for 15 days,and normal saline solution was used at the same way in the model control group.Ocular anterior segment reaction was examined under the slit lamp and corneal opacification,edema and neovasculation were scored based on Larkin' s criteria.Rejection index of the corneal graft was recorded and the graft survival time was calculated.The pathological examination of the corneal graft was carried out in all rats,and the inflammatory cells in the corneas and CD4+ cells in the periphery blood were assayed using flow cytometry.The use of the animals complied with ARVO Statement.Results Corneal graft rejection occurred in 10 days after operation in the model control group,12-13 days in the CsA group and heijingpaichitang group and 22 days in the CsA +heijingpaichitang group.Compared with model control group,the scores of the corneal opacification,corneal edema and neovascularization were significantly lower in the CsA group,heijingpaichitang group and CsA+heijingpaichitang group (P<0.05),and all the scores were declined in the CsA+ heijingpaichitang group compared with CsA group and heijingpaichitang group(P<0.01),but no significant differences were seen in the scores between the CsA group and heijingpaichitang group(P>0.05).The mean survival time of grafts was (10.38 ±1.69)days in the model control group,(22.50 ± 3.07) days in the CsA + heijingpaichitang group,with the significant difference (t =-9.790,P =0.000).The pathological examination of graft showed that the lymphocytes and new blood vessels were less in the CsA+heijingpaichitang group compared with CsA group and heijingpaichitang group 15 days after operation.Flow cytometry verified that the number of lymphocytes in graft,CD4+cells and CD4+/CD8+ in periphery blood were significantly lower in the heijingpaichitang group,CsA group and CsA+heijingpaichitang group compared with model control group (P<0.05).Conclusions Heijingpaichitang can inhibit immune rejection to certain extent in high-risk corneal transplantation rat and has a similar effect to 0.1% CsA.Heijingpaichitang and 0.1% CsA have a synergistic effect.

?AlM:To explore the influence factors of orthokeratology controlling development of juvenile myopia.
?Methods: A retrospective analysis of 86 cases ( 169 eyes ) who performed orthokeratology from November 2012 to November 2013 in our hospital was carried out. Ater 2a treatment, diopter increased > -0. 25D as invalid control group (54 eyes), diopter increased ≤ -0. 25D as effective control group ( 115 eyes ) . The difference of various factors between two groups were compared.
?RESULTS: Univariate comparison showed that the two groups had no statistical significance (P>0. 05) in terms of gender, whether wear glasses in the past, anterior corneal diameter before treatment, central corneal thickness, intraocular pressure and anterior chamber depth. However, the two groups had statistical significance (P<0. 05) in the terms of age, dioptre before trement, corneal curvature, and axial length basis. Logistic regression analysis showed that foundation axial length, age and corneal curvature were in line with regression model ( P<0. 05 ), these were independent factors that orthokeratology lens control juvenile myopia development.
? CONCLUSlON: lndependent factors affecting orthokeratology control juvenile myopia development is foundation axial length, age and corneal curvature. For juvenile patients, the longer of foundation axial length, the longer the age, the greater the curvature of cornea, orthokeratology can better control the myopia’s development.
