Background It is very important for us to understand retinal function change in the patient with diabetic mellitus in clinic. At present,the study about diabetic mellitus associated with macular edema includes fundus fluorescense angiography ( FFA) and multifocal electroretinogram ( mfERG) etc.. However, seldom research is performed in the mfERG findings for different types of diabetic macular edema. Objective This study aimed to investigate the mfERG change in different types of diabetic macular edema compared with normal population. Methods Fifty-seven eyes with diabetic macular edema from 40 patients and 35 eyes from age-and gender-matched normal subjects were enrolled in this study. The eyes with diabetic macular edema were assigned to local macular edema group (n=16) ,diffuse macular edema group (n = 22) and cystoid macular edema ( n = 17 ) based on the manifestation of FFA. MfERG was recorded in all the individuals. The informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to any the medical examination. Results In focal diabetic macular edema group,the response density of P1 wave was significantly attenuated in ring 1 , showing a statistical difference in comparison with controls (t =2. 170,P = 0.038) ,and the latencies of P1 and N1 waves showed obvious prolong in ring 4 and 5 (t = 2.519,P = 0. 017 ;t = 2. 451 ,P = 0. 020). In diffuse diabetic macular edema group,the response densities of P1 and N1 waves were declined in ring 1,3,5 and ring 1,3,4,5 respectively,and the latencies of P, in ring 3,4 were significantly delayed respectively in comparison with controls (all P < 0. 05 ). In cystoid diabetic macular edema group, the response densities of P1 and N1 waves were lowed from ring 1 through 5 respectively, and the latencies of P1 and N1 waves were significantly longer from ring 3 through 5 and ring 4 respectively with the statistically significant difference from controls (all P<0. 05). The visual function of fovea was badly damaged. Conclusion These studies indicate that the most serious damage of visual function is in foveal area in cystoid diabetic macular edema group, and is then parafoveal area of diffuse diabetic macular edema group and perifoveal area in focal diabetic macular edema group. The outcome of mfERG presents a good consistency with FFA findings in the patients with diabetic macular edema.

Objective To study Barrett's esophageal consistency with its histological findings,which were found with magnifying chromoendo6copy,and to advance the endoscopic diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus. Methods The patients with BE were diagnosed by endoscopy and histology, and their histological findings and endoscopic appearances of a total of 67 patients with BE were observed. Results Endoscopic appearances type of BE showed island (28 cases) ,tongue(7 cases) ,and circum ference(32 cases). Three types of BE under magnifying chromoendoscopy,and in magnifying endoscope group,type Ⅲ which were found with magnifying endoscope were verified intestinalisation epithelium pat ho-type, compared with type I and type Ⅱ,the discrepancy of them had statistical significance(P＜0.01). Conclusion Magnifying chromoendoscopy had a relatively better consistency in the diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus with histological findings.

To prove the significance of 4-color fluorescence labeling flow cytometric analysis for leukemia immunophenotyping, bone marrow and peripheral blood samples from 88 cases with acute leukemia were analyzed by means of flow cytometry with 4-color fluorescence labeling monoclonal antibodies (McAbs). More than 90% of cases could be classified into acute myeloid, T- or B-lymphocytic leukemia by staining with 13 different kinds of monoclonal antibodies within 4 tubes of combination of antibodies. AML-M(2) - M(7) could also be identified simultaneously. Another one tube of combination of 4 McAbs could be used for further subtyping of those who were undetermined by the above 4 tubes. Patients with AML-M(0)/M(1) which may be negative of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in cytochemistry can be identified by labeling with both membrane and cytoplasmic antibodies. In conclusion, the accuracy of leukemia immunophenotyping has been improved by 4-color flow cytometry analysis.

The purpose of this study was to optimize a fixation procedure for detection of cytoplasmic antigens by flow cytometry(FCM) and to evaluate the effect of intracellular CD3, CD22, CD79a and myeloperoxidase(MPO) in lineage assignment. Four kinds of fixation procedure and three or four color direct immunofluorescence staining were used to permeate cell membrane and label cell surface and intracellular antigens by means of FCM. Results showed that percentage of cytoplasmic antigens positive cells was the highest and cell scatter and fluorescence intensity of CD45 were not changed after using of FACS permeabilization solution. MPO protein was positive in 16/18 acute myeloid leukemia(AML) patients. 4 cases of T cell-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cases were positive for cytoplasmic CD3(c CD3) but surface CD3 was negative. c CD22 was only detected in 9/13 of B-ALL and cCD79a was positive in 5/5 B-ALL. 18/38 cases of acute leukemia were expressed in more than one lineage marker, 8/21 cases of acute non-lymphocytic leukemia(ANLL) were CD7 positive. 7/17 cases of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) expressed CD13. After further cytoplasmic antigen detection, one was considered to be a T/myeloid biphenotypic leukemia, another one was diagnosed as biclonal or mixed leukemia. The results suggest that intracellular CD3,CD22,CD79a and MPO are lineage specific markers, they are very important for biphenotypic and biclonal/mixed acute leukemia identification

Objective To investigate the number and activities changes of peripheral blood endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients,and explore the connection between EPCs' number and the levels of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs),homocysteine (Hcy) and C-reactive protein (CRP).Methods Twenty-five CAPD patients and thirty healthy volunteers were involved.Total mononuclear cells (MNCs) were isolated from peripheral blood of patients.EPCs were characterized as adherent cells by double staining of FITCUEA-1 and DiL-AcLDL binding,and were further demonstrated by positive cells of CD34,CD133 and KDR using flow cytometry.The abilities of cell proliferation,adhesion and migration were further observed by fluorescent microscope.The correlations between the CEPCs' number and the levels of AGEs,Hcy and CRP were analyzed.Results The number and activities including migration and adhesion of EPCs in CAPD group were significantly lower than control group (P ＜ 0.05).The levels of serum AGEs,Hey and CRP in CAPD patients were increased (all P＜0.05) and had negative correlation with EPCs' number.Conclusions The number and activities of EPCs decrease in patients with CAPD,and EPCs' number is negatively correlated to the levels of AGEs,Hcy and CRP.

Objective To establish embryonic stem cells (ESC) that can express green fluorescent protein (CFP) and differentiate them into neurons. It would provide tagging neurons for clinical transplantation to cure neural system diseases. Methods ESC (R1) was transfeeted with a plasmid containing the GFP by electroporation. A transgeuic cell line was obtained after selection with G418. The ESCs were characterized by AKP staining. Monolayer differentiation method was used to induce neural differentiation derived from GFP-ESC and immunofluorescence method was used to identify Tuj1 positive cells. Results There was no significant difference(X2=3.14,P0.05) in transfect rates between liposome and electroporation (65% vs 79%). The AKP staining of GFP-ESC was positive. GFP-ESC could be differentiated into neural cells. Conclusions These results show that ESC expressing GFP has been estabhshed, which can be differemiated into neurons.
