BACKGROUND:The degradation of extracellular matrix, which is mediated by matrix metal oproteinases, plays a crucial role in the corneal neovascularization. Tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2, a new type serine proteinase inhibitor, can effectively inhibit the activity of matrix metal oproteinases.
OBJECTIVE:To elucidate the effect of tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 on the expressions of matrix metal oproteinases in keratocytes in vitro.
METHODS:Rabbit keratocytes were primarily cultured and subcultured in vitro. Plasmid vector pBos-Cite-neo/TFPI-2 was transfected into keratocytes with Lipofectamine 2000. The positive cells were selected using G418.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The results of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, western blot analysis and gelatinase zymography analysis showed that, expression of mRNA and protein of tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 was upregulated in the transfected keratocytes (P<0.05), while activity of matrix metal oproteinase 1 and 2 was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Experimental findings indicate that that tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 strongly inhibits the activity of matrix metal oproteinase 1 and 2 in keratocytes.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of through moxibustion combined with electric acupuncture versus electric acupuncture alone for treatment of patients with cervical spondylosis radiculopathy (CSR), so as to provide a basis for optimizing clinical treatment.Methods A prospective study was conducted. Sixty patients with CSR treated in the clinic of Acupuncture Department as outpatients or admitted into the department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University as inpatients were enrolled, and according to the random number table, they were divided into through moxibustion combined with electric acupuncture treatment group (observation group) and conventional electric acupuncture treatment group (control group), 30 cases in each group. The main acupoints of the observation group were as follows: Fengchi, Dazhui, Tianzhu, Houxi, Cervical Jiaji points, Shenshu, Mingmen, in cases with significant neck and shoulder pain, supporting points were added such as Jianjing, Tianzong, in cases with severe arm and finger numbness and pain, Quchi, Hegu, Waiguan, and in cases with marked dizziness and headache, Baihui, Temple acupoints were added. The needle 0.30 mm × 40 mm in size was chosen to be applied, at bilateral neck Jiaji points, direct subcutaneous needling (piercing) was made, at Dazhui, the piercing of needle for 1 to 1.5 inches was performed (body inch), at Mingmen, reinforcing method was used for piercing, at Shenshu, 0.30 mm × 50 mm needle was chosen for piercing with reinforcing method, and at the rest acupoints, conventional neutral supplementation and drainage method of acupuncture was applied. After obtaining qi from needling, electric needle device was added, the current strength used for individual patient depended on his or her degree of tolerance, the needle retention being 20 minutes, and during the above process, at Dazhui and a set of neck Jiaji points, moxibustion with moxa was applied. The acupoints used in the control group were the same as those in the observation group except moxibustion, other procedures were similar to those in the observation group. In both groups, the therapy was taken once a day for consecutive 5 days in a week, constituting one therapeutic course, and after two courses, the changes of clinical symptom scores and clinical efficacies were observed.Results After treatment, the clinical symptom scores in two groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (control group: 15.68±2.01 vs. 7.10±1.87, observation group:18.13±1.69 vs. 7.92±2.14), and the degree of improvement in the observation group was more significant (P < 0.01). After treatment, the total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [96.67% (29/30) vs. 83.33% (25/30),P < 0.05].Conclusion The clinical therapeutic effect of through moxibustion combined with electric acupuncture for treatment of patients with CSR is better than that of electric acupuncture alone, so there is certain feasibility.
