Keratocytes situated between the collagen lamellae in the corneal stroma,are mitotically quiescent cells.The cells can secrete collagens and keratan sulfate proteoglycans which contribute to the transparency of the cornea.Upon injury,keratocytes are stimulated to corrent apoptosis and transite into repair phenotypes,fibroblast and myofibroblast.These repair phenotypes can either promote regeneration or induce fibrotic scar,and the latter is detrimental to the otherwise transparent cornea.Moreover,a population of keratocytes can be induced to appear the stem cell-like characteristics.Therefore,keratocytes are no longer bystanders,but active participants in numerous functions.

AIM:To study the sedation, diuresis and anticoagulation effects of Ji-Ming-San (JMS) in animal models for exploring the circadian variations of the dosing action and verifying the rationality of administering JMS on special time. METHODS: The sedation effect and circadian difference were determined by observing the time session of ambulation, raising double-forefoot test and autonomic activity of model mice. The diuretic effect and the circadian variation in rats were examined by metabolic cage test while the anticoagulation and the circadian change were observed by glass test. RESULTS: JMS produced significant sedation effect by reducing time session of ambulation, raising upper limbs frequencies/time and autonomic activity and the built-in rhythm with autonomic activity disappeared after JMS administration. JMS had satisfactory diuretic effect and total urinary output in water-loaded rats was increased after dosing. The diuretic effect of dosing showed a circadian rhythm with more significant output during the night than that during the daytime. Also, JMS prolonged the clotting time significantly and the action exhibited circadian difference. As compared with administration at the night, the clotting time was more prolonged at the daytime. CONCLUSION: JMS can produce obvious sedation, diuresis and anticoagulation effects with varied circadian rhythm. The findings suggest that the effect of administering JMS is better at the end of rest phase than other time session.

Objective Toinvestigatetheeffectoffolicacidonplasmahomocysteine(Hcy)levels and vascular endothelial function in elderly cerebral infarction patients with hyperhomocysteinemia. Methods Thisstudywasaprospectivecontrolledtrial.Atotalof112elderlylacunarinfarction patients with high hyperhomocysteinemia admitted to the Department of Neurology,Nanjing Municipal Government Hospital from November 2012 to October 2013 were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups according to the method of random number table. The patients of both groups received the conventional drug treatment of ischemic stroke at the same time. Fifty-six patients were in group A,and they were treated with folic acid 20 mg,once a day;56 patients were in group B,and they did not treat with folic acid. The Hcy levels on admission and after 24 weeks treatment were measured. Brachial artery flow-mediated endothelium-dependent dilation (FMD)was measured by high resolution ultrasound,and nitric oxide (NO), nitricoxidesynthase(NOS),andendothelin(ET)weredetectedatthesametime.Results Twenty-four weeks after treatment,the plasma Hcy level in group A was significantly decreased as compared with prior treatment (12. 2 ± 4. 2 vs. 22. 6 ± 3. 7μmol/L;P<0. 05),moreover,it was lower than the level of group B at the same period (12. 2 ± 4. 2 vs. 21. 8 ± 4. 0μmol/L;P <0. 05 ). The FMD level of group A was significantly higher than that of prior treatment and group B (11. 2 ± 3. 6 vs. 9. 2 ± 3. 3,9. 3 ± 3. 3;P<0. 05). The NO and NOS levels of group A at 24 weeks after treatment were significantly higher than those of prior treatment and group B at the same period (76. 2 ± 9. 4 vs. 49. 2 ± 9. 0,50. 0 ± 9. 1μmol/L,47. 6 ± 9. 5 vs.38. 4 ± 7. 5,37. 8 ± 8. 8 kU/L;P<0.05). The ET level of group A was decreased as compared with that of prior treatment and group B at the same period (81. 3 ± 20. 5 vs. 105. 6 ± 25. 2,105. 3 ± 21. 8 ng/L;P<0.05).NoadversereactionwasfoundduringthetreatmentingroupA.Conclusion Alargerdoseof folic acid can significantly reduce the plasma Hcy level,decrease the FMD level,and ameliorate vascular endothelial function in elderly cerebral infarction patients with hyperhomocysteinemia.

Two-way choice is the main way for the seven-year-program clinical medical students and postgraduate supervisors.This article analyzes the influence factors and shortages of two-way choice for postgraduate supervisors and seven-year-program clinical medical students.This investigation discovers that the supervisor's abilities of research,teaching and clinical and their personal magnetism are important and key factors.The students' gender,character,hobbies and interests and the familiarity to profession are the secondary factors.The other factors that include employment status,the level of income and the advice of parents and friends also have influence on two-way choice for postgraduate supervisors and seven-year-program clinical medical students.In order to further improve the tow-way choice,the author gives some suggestions,including introducing profession and the scientific researches of supervisors in advance,encouraging the face-to-face communication between students and supervisors,promoting multiple profession choices and giving some aids to the students for choosing the supervisors.
