Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2013;(2):147-150
Background Alkali burn-induced corneal neovascularization(CNV) usually leads to blindness.Recently,study determined that vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) were the main regulating factors inducing angiogenesis,and canstatin proteins can inhibit the growth of VEGF and bFGF and thereby inhibit CNV growth.Objective The present study was to investigate the effect of recombinant canstatin protein on mouse CNV induced by alkali burn and its mechanism.Methods CNV models were induced in the right eyes of 40 female BALB/c mice by sticking the 2.0 mm filtering paper with 1 mol/L NaOH at the central cornea for 10 seconds.The animals then were randomized into two groups.Recombinant canstatin protein drops(5 mg/L) was topically administered 4 times daily in the mice of the experimental group,and normal saline solution was used at the same way in the control group.Corneas of the mice were examined under the slit lamp to calculate the CNV area 1 day,3,7,14 days after modeling.The mice were sacrificed at above time points and corneas were obtained.The expressions of VEGF protein and bFGF protein in cornea were detected by Western blot,and the results were analyzed by enhanced chemiluminescence(ECL).The use of the experimental animals complied with the Instructive Notions with Respect to Caring for Laboratory Animals by State Ministry of Science and Technology.Results In 3,7 and 14 days after establishment of models,the area of CNV was (1.98-0.31) mm2,(6.21 ±0.44) mm2 and (9.83±0.72) mm2 in the experimental group,and that in the control group was (2.92 ± 0.41) mm2,(8.04 ± 0.56) mm2 and (11.78 ±0.84) mm2,showing significant reduce in the mice treated with recombinant canstatin protein(t3d =4.332,P=0.005 ;t7 d =11.729,P =0.000 ;t14 d =14.562,P =0.000).Western blot analysis showed that there was significant increase in the gray scale of VEGF protein 1 day,3,7,14 days following alkali burn in the experimental group compared with the control group(t1 d =-3.980,P<0.001 ;t3d =-10.020,P<0.001 ;t7d =-4.355,P<0.001 ;t14 d =-8.156,P<0.001),and the gray scale of bFGF was significantly ascent at various time points in the the experimental in comparison with the control groups (t1 d =-3.488,P<0.001 ; t3 d =-2.124,P =0.013; t7 d =-1.977,P =0.028; t14 d =-4.542,P<0.001).Conclusions Topical application of recombinant canstatin protein drops inhibits CNV growth induced by alkali burn by down-regulating the expressions of VEGF and bFGF proteins.

The paper reviews the background and current situation of medical disputes and puts forward the concept of the reaction chain of medical disputes in view of their high occurrence rate and the difficulty in handling them. It discusses the framework, chief content, basic principles and major features of the reaction chain of medical disputes and argues that as a commonly used tool for handling medical disputes, the reaction chain renders it possible to check from the angje of the interests of the patients whether each party involved in the dispute has fulfilled its duties. Intended to improve the professional ethics of the physicians and the quality of medical care and calling on the patients to rebuild their confidence in the physicians, the reaction chain indicates that it is necessary to scientifically analyze the entire process and various influencing factors of medical disputes and bring into play the advantages of integration so as to successfully resolve medical disputes.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of aerosol inhalation recombinant human interferon α1b in the treat-ment of bronchiolitis in children. METHODS:60 children with bronchiolitis were randomly divided into low-dose group,high-dose group and control group. All children were given tracheal suctioning,phlegm dispersing and other symptomatic treatment. Based on it,low-dose group was given recombinant human interferon α1b 1-2 μg/(kg·times),adding into 3 ml 0.9% Sodium chloride injec-tion,compression aerosol inhalation,twice a day;high-dose group was given recombinant human interferon α1b 3-4 μg/(kg·times), adding into 3 ml 0.9% Sodium chloride injection,compression aerosol inhalation,twice a day;control group was given ribavirin 10-15 mg/(kg·d),adding into 5% Glucose injection at ratio of 1∶1 by intravenous infusion,once a day. The treatment course for all groups was 5-7 d. Clinical efficacy,disappearance time of cough,respite,rale and three depressions,hospitalization time and incidence of adverse reactions in all groups were observed. RESULTS:Disappearance time of cough,respite,rale and three depres-sions and hospitalization time in high-dose group were significantly shorter than low-dose group and low-dose group shorter than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). Total effective rate in high-dose group was significantly high-er than low-dose group and low-dose group higher than control group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions during treatment.

Objective To investigate the application of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) combined with magenetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting biochemical metabolism in children with epilepsy. Methods In 20 cases of epilepsy,6 were intractable epilepsy and 8 normal subjects exprienced MRI and single-voxel 1H-MRS exminations by locating in the amygdaloid-hippocampus The signal intensities of N-acetylaspartate(NAA),creatine+phosphocreatine(Cr),choline-containig compounds(Cho) and the ratios of NAA/Cho+cr,NAA/Cho,and NAA/Cr were set into comparison bilaterally between the patients and controls. Results 15 patients were abnormal in 1H-MRS examination The signal intensity of NAA in MRI abnormal area was obviously lower than that in the contralaterals of focus and the controls,the Cho was higher than in the contralaterals and controls;NAA/Cho+Cr (0 59?0 11) and NAA/Cho (1 08?0 36) were lower than those in contralaterals (0 75?0 17,1 40?0 38)and controls (0 77?0 12,1 29?0 48) NAA,Cho,Cr and ratios of NAA/Cho+Cr,NAA/Cho,NAA/Cr of the left and the right side of controls were not significantly different There are decreases of bilateral NAA and ratio NAA/Cho+Cr in 5 out of the 6 children with intractable epilepsy. Conclusions Signal intensity of NAA and ratio NAA/Cho+Cr,NAA/Cho in children with epilepsy were decreased by 1H-MRS detection These spectral abnormalities may reflect neuronal loss or dysfunction,there are bilateral diffuse abnormalities in the intractable epilepsy 1H-MRS may help understand the underlying pathophysiology in children with epilepsy
