AlM: To evaluate the therapeutic effects and safety of femtosecond laser assisted penetrating keratoplasty ( FS-PKP) .
METHODS: ln the retrospective case series study, 46 cases ( 48 eyes ) with FS- PKP holds were analyzed. Preoperative best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA) was 2. 35 ± 1.01 (with a standard logarithmic eye chart). Opacities were all from epithelium to endothelium, including keratoconus, keratolukoma and corneal scarring etc. The full-thickness corneal donor-recipient grafts in different diameter and incision kerfangle were made by femtosecond laser in keratoplasty. The patients were treated according to the conventional penetrating keratoplasty after surgery. Evaluation indexes included preoperative and postoperative 1, 6, 10mo uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), BCVA, corneal astigmatism (CA) and surgical complications. Forty-three cases (44 eyes) with traditional PKP were as control group. The data of two groups were analyzed by mean comparison of two groups and Chi-square test in SPSS 18. 0.
RESULTS: All the operations were completed successfully, postoperative visual acuity of all patients had different degrees of increase. Comparison with the postoperative UCVA of traditional PKP surgery, UCVA was 3. 48 ± 0. 43 and 2. 97 ± 1. 14 at 1mo after operation, respectively, with statistically significant difference ( P=0. 009). The UCVA was 3. 86±0. 25 and 3. 74±0. 73 at 3mo after operation, respectively; the UCVA was 4. 04 ± 0. 23 and 3. 98 ± 0. 29 at 6mo after operation, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (P=0. 146, P=0. 56). ln FS-PKP group, BCVA was better than traditional PKP surgery group, with statistically significant difference ( P=0. 002 ). While there had no statistically significant difference between two groups of BCVA at 6, 10mo after operation (P6mo =0. 132, P10mo =0. 47). The incidence of complication of FS-PKP surgery, such as postoperative astigmatism, postoperative intraocular pressure and postoperative incision dehiscence were significantly lower than the one of traditional PKP surgery(P<0. 05).
CONCLUSlON:Compared with traditional penetrating keratoplasty, FS-PKP provides significantly faster visual recovery in the early postoperative period, and induces significantly less corneal astigmatism and lower incidence of complication. lt reflected the clinical superiority of this new technology .

To study the in situ intestinal absorption of five oligosaccharides contained in Morinda officinalis How. (sucrose, kestose, nystose, 1F-Fructofuranosyinystose and Bajijiasu). The absorption of the five oligosaccharides in small intestine (duodenum, jejunum and ileum) and colon of rats and their contents were investigated by using in situ single-pass perfusion model and HPLC-ELSD. The effects of drug concentration, pH in perfusate and P-glycoprotein inhibitor on the intestinal absorption were investigated to define the intestinal absorption mechanism of the five oligosaccharides in rats. According to the results, all of the five oligosaccharides were absorbed in the whole intestine, and their absorption rates were affected by the pH of the perfusion solution, drug concentration and intestinal segments. Verapamil Hydrochloride could significantly increase the absorptive amount of sucrose and Bajijiasu, suggesting sucrose and Bajijiasu are P-gp's substrate. The five oligosaccharides are absorbed mainly through passive diffusion in the intestinal segments, without saturated absorption. They are absorbed well in all intestines and mainly in duodenum and jejunum.

BACKGROUND: Migu tablet, a Chinese drug for kidney invigorating, is effective on preventing and treating osteoporosis, but the concrete mechanism of pharmacology is still not clear. Transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) is an important cytokine, which can regulate bone resorption and formation.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of kidney invigorating recipe on mRNA expression of TGF-β1 of osteoblast.DESIGN: A completely randomized controlled study was conducted.SETTING: Department of Traumatic Orthopedics, Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: This experiment was conducted at the laboratory for bone metabolism of integration of Chinese and western medicine, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from May 2003 to April 2004. Experimental rats: Totally 16 newborn SD rats of clean degree were involved. Experimental drug: Medical liquor of Migu tablet was prepared in the Department of Traumatic Orthopedics,Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The subscription was mainly composed of Chinese herbs such as Herba Epimedii, Cortex Eucommiae, Semen Juglandis,Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae. and so on. Positive control drug: which was recombinant basic fibroblastic growth factor (rbFGF), was purchased from Beijing Banding Company. Negative control group was subdivided into negative control of probe and antibody METHODS: 100,1 000,5 000,10 000 mg/L Chinese herb Migu tablet liquor for kidney invigorating and positive control drug 5 μg/L rbFGF were added into the osteoblasts of cranial bones of newly born SD rats separated and cultured in vitro. 24 hours later, nuclear acid molecular in situ hybridization of osteoblasts were analyzed by self-made digoxin-labeled TGF-β1 cDNA probe . The mean absorbance of positive particles representing the mRNA expression of TGF-β1. A total of 40 osteoblasts were randomly chosen from each group under 200-fold amplification. The average absorbance of hybridized particles of the cells was measured with TJTY-300 automatic image analyzer.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: mRNA expression of TGF-β1 in osteoblasts of each group.RESULTS: Automatic image analyzer showed that the TGF-β1 mRNA expressions of Migu liquor groups whose concentration were 5 000 mg/L and 10 000 mg/L were respectively 1.18 times and 1.30 times that of control group, with a significant difference. [The mean absorbance's of hybridized particles of the cells in the 5 000,10 000 mg/L Migu liquor groups and negative control were 0.213 67±0.015 00,0.237 03±0.021 73,0.181 27±0.015 28 ,respectively, P ＜ 0.05 and P ＜ 0.01].Although the mean absorbance ( 0.254 45±0.020 81)of the hybridized particles of the cells in the 5 μg/L recombinant rbFGF was higher than those of 5 000,10 000 mg/L Migu liquor groups, but there was no significant difference(P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Migu tablet for kidney invigorating can stimulate the secretion and synthesis of TGF-β1 in osteoblasts, thus promote bone formation and inhibit bone resorption.

BACKGROUND:The therapeutic effects of donkey-hide glue reinforcing bone oral solution on osteoporosis have been determined, but the exact effective mechanism is to be approached. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of donkey-hide glue reinforcing bone oral solution (DGRBOS) medicated serum on osteoprotegerin (OPG)and its ligand(OPGL)mRNAexpression of osteoblast in fetal rats and explore the molecular mechanism of treating osteoporosis with DGRBOS. DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial. MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out from June 2003 to October 2004 in Bone Metabolic Laboratory of Department of Integrative Chinese and Western Medicine, Affiliated Hospital of Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Technology and Science. Totally 30 3-month-oldWistar rats (15 males and 15 females) were randomly divided into 3 groups, I.e. DGRBOS group, estrogen group and control group, with 10 rats in every group. 12 clean newborn SD rats were selected to isolate and cul ture osteoblast. METHODS: ①After intragastric administration for 7 days, medicated serum was prepared respectively from the three groups. ②Skull osteoblast isolated from newborn SD rats was made into single cell suspension, then after digestion and passage, the subcultured osteoblast cell was made into cell suspension. The cultured osteoblasts were divided into 5 groups and given equal volumes of drug liquor. The DGRBOS group was given DGRBOS-medicated serum at the concentration of 100, 500 and 1 000 g/L which was diluted by nutrient solution; the estrogen group was given tibolone-medicated serum of 100 and 1 000 g/L; the control group was givenonly culture fluid. Meanwhile every group was given calf serum (100 g/L) for further culture. ③The osteoblast proliferation was measured by antigenic MTT colorimetric analysis and 3H-TdR penetration method. The in tra-cellular BGP contents were evaluated by radioimmunity .The mRNA expression of OPG and RANKL in osteoblast was analyzed by Rt-PCR. ④ One-way analysis of variance was applied to compare data among groups. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: mRNA expression of OPG and PAN KL in osteoblasts from fetal rats after intervention by medicated serum ofDGRBOS or Livial. RESULTS: ①The osteoblast proliferation measured by antigenic MTT colorimetric analysis and 3H-TdR penetration method showed that the proliferation in the DGRBOS group and tibolone group was enhanced moresignificantly than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05-0.01), and reached maximal effect at the concentration of 500 g/L (P ＜ 0.01), but when the concentration was over 500 g/L, the effect tended to saturate. The medicated serum with all concentrations from DGRBOS and estrogen groups could increase the contents of BGP in osteoblasts (P ＜ 0.05). ②The mRNA expression of OPG reached the peak when the DGRBOS medicated serum was 1 000 g/L, and was obviously higher than that at the concentration of 100 and 500 g/L (P ＜ 0.05). The expression in DGRBOS group at the concentration of 1 000 g/L and in the estrogen group at the concentration of 100 and 1 000 g/L was apparently higher than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.01). ③The mRNAexpression of RANKL was the highest in DGR BOS group with 1 000 g/L concentration, and was markedly lower than that of the concentration of 100 and 500 g/L (P ＜ 0.05). The expression in DGRBOS group at the concentration of 1 000 g/L and in the estrogen group at the concentration of 100 and 1 000 g/L was noticeably lower than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: ①The DGRBOS could remarkably enhance osteoblast proliferation in dose-dependent and a dose-saturable manner, and the effect was close to that of tibolone. ②Partial mechanism of DGRBOS in treating osteoporosis might be promoting osteoblast proliferation and regulating OPG/RANKL expression.
