Diabetic retinopathy ( DR ) is one of the main blinding eye diseases for people over the age of 50, and diabetic macular edema ( DME) is the leading cause of vision loss is DR patients. The early diagnosis and early treatment is important. As OCT and FFA, mfERG, especially the retinal thickness, volume, retinal edema index quantitative indicators such as objective evaluation of macular edema, embodies the new progress of retinal imaging technology in recent years. OCT is a non -contact clinical application in recent years, noninvasive, high resolution of ophthalmic imaging examination, can do it on retinal ultrastructure observation and quantitative analysis, and the technology is relatively mature, become a routine inspection diagnosis of macular edema. Laser photocoagulation, intravitreous injection with Ranibizumab and vitrectomy is nowadays the important means for the treatment of intractable macular edema.

BACKGROUND: During xenogenic liver transplantation, major histocompatibility antigen can induce immunological rejection, and immunosuppressant can cause adverse effect on organism. Recently, treatment prior to transplantation induces immune tolerance, which is perspective for organ transplantation.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between thymus induction and immunological rejection during liver transplantation. METHODS: A total of 40 male SD rats of clean grade were selected as donors. Moreover, 30 male Wistar rats of clean grade and 10 male SD rats of clean grade were selected as recipients. The donor rats were divided into allogeneic gene transplantation, allotransplantation, cyclosporine, and thymus induction groups, with 10 rats in each group. The modified Kamada and improved two-cuff technique was used to establish a stable rat orthotopic liver transplantation model. The cyclosporine group was given cyclosporine (50 mg/kg) for 5 successive days. Thymus induction group was injected with major histocompatibility antigens (50 pL) for 5 successive days. Other groups were not given any interventions. Survival time of rats was recorded in each group. Pathological observation and mixed lymphocyte cultured were performed at days 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 after transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Survival time was longer in the thymus induced group compared with other groups (> 60 days), damaged level was mild, local immunological rejection was reduced, and lymphocytes were decreased. The effect after liver transplantation was similar to allogeneic gene transplantation but superior to cyclosporine intervention (P < 0.05). This suggested that thymus induction relieved immunological rejection following liver transplantation.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of transabdominal perposterior mediastinum radical operation in the treatment of cardiac carcinoma. Methods Twenty-six cases of cardiac carcinoma invading low esophagus underwent transabdominal posterior mediastinum radical resection. Among them 9 patients received radical proximal gastroesophagectomy, and 17 cases did radical total gastroesophagectomy. Results The procedures were all successful. The mean operation time for total gastrectomy was (189±39) min, proximal subtotal gastrectomy was (153±35) min. The averge blood loss of total gastrectomy was (200±80) ml, proximal subtotal gastrectomy was (168±76) ml. The harvest of celiac lymph nodes were (23.3±7.3), esophageal lymph nodes were (4.1±2.0). Pneumonia was complicated in 4 cases and there was no anastomotic hemorrhage, leakage nor stenosis. All patients were followed up from 5 to 51 months, liver metastasis was found in 4 cases, lung metastasis in 2 patients and death in 1. There was no anastomotic stoma tumor recurrence. Conclusion It was feasible and safe to perform transabdominal perposterior mediastinum radical operation for cardiac carcinoma patients, provided that diaphragms was not involved and tumor invaded esophageal length was less than 5 cm.

BACKGROUND: Most patients who underwent liver transplantation would suffer acute rejection or transplanted liver failure resulted by chronic rejection, therefore, inducing specific immune tolerance via varied pathways is the ideal method to solve this problem. OBJECTIVE: To treat rat transplanted liver by injecting transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β_1) plasmid, and to analyze the relationship between TGF-β1 and allograft rejection from gene level. METHODS: A total of 30 male, Wistar rats were served as allogenic liver donors, and 10 male, SD rats served as syngeneic donors Totally 40 male SD rats were served as liver recipients, and divided into 4 groups by order number table: ailogenic transplantation, syngeneic transplantation, ciclosporin, and ciclosporin plus TGF--β_1 groups. In each group, rat orthotopic liver transplantation model was established by modified Kamada and improved two-cuff technique. After modeling, rats were received cyclosporine 1-5 days in the cyclosporine group, or intraperitoneal injected ciclosporin for 1-5 days, combined with TGF-β_1 plasmid 0-2 days in the cyclosporine plus TGF-β_1 group. No intervention was performed in the other groups. The survival time of rats were recorded, and the pathological changes was detected at days 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 after transplantation, then the mixed lymphocyte culture was performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The survival time of rats in syngeneic transplantation group and cyclosporine plus TGF-1,β_1 group was more than 60 days, which was obviously greater than that of allogenic transplantation and cyclosporine groups (P< 0.05). The histopathologic slide showed that there was moderate and severe acute rejection, with evident intrahepatic inflammatory cell infiltration in the allogenic transplantation and cyclosporine groups. Few rejections were observed in the syngeneic transplantatior group, which was close to the normal lever tissues. Mixed lymphocyte culture of the cyclosporine plus TGF-β_1 group was superior to the syngeneic transplantation group or cyclosporine group (P < 0.05). The results demonstrated that cyclosporine combined with local injection of TGF-β_1 plasmid can relieve post-transplant immune rejection.

BACKGROUND: A small number of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) present in bone marrow, which would gradually drop with age. OBJECTIVE: To verify the effect of adherent method on culture of bone marrow-derived MSCs. METHODS: Under anaesthesia, bone marrow cells were obtained from femur and tibia of rats, cultured by DMEM containing calf serum, placed in an incubator containing 5% CO_2 at 37 ℃. The culture medium was renewed after 24 hours, and remained periodical medium change with once per week. The weakly adherent cells were passaged. The cell morphology, growth curve, and the expression of cell-surface markers were identified by flow cytometry and immunocytochemical staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After 24 hours of culture, the cells could adhere to the walls with fusiform or triangle shapes, proliferated faster after 2-3 days, and presented whirlpool-like or clustering. The cells reached a logarithmic growth phase after 2 days, and into the late stationary phase after 12 days, which covered the bottle after 15 days. The cultured cells were positive to CD90 and CD54. The results verified that bone marrow-derived MSCs can be isolated by adherent method. This method is easy operation, and can maintain cell activity preferably.
