In the past, panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) and vitrectomy (PPV) were the main treatments for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). In recent years, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs have been used more and more widely in PDR due to their advantages in rapidly subtracting new blood vessels, reducing leakage, and promoting the absorption of blood. The combination of anti-VEGF drugs and PRP in the treatment of PDR, especially high-risk PDR, can increase the rate of neovascularization and prevent some patients with mild to moderate vitreous hemorrhage from PPV. The application of anti-VEGF drugs during the perioperative period of PPV can also reduce bleeding during the operation, shorten the operation time, and reduce surgical complications. Although clinical studies have confirmed that anti-VEGF drugs can be used as an alternative treatment for PRP, most patients require multiple and long-term treatments, which increase the psychological and economic burden of patients. It is expected that the cost of anti-VEGF drugs and the development of long-acting dosage forms can be reduced and bring better efficacy and benefits to PDR patients in the future.

The ribosomal DNA fragment was amplified with PCR utilizing synthetic primers with host bacteria chromosomal DNA as template. The resultant probes were labeled with Digoxigenin and were applied in the dot blot of DNA vaccine samples. The host bacteria genomic DNA in DNA vaccine against hepatitis B was less than 15 ng/?g. Digoxigenin labeled probes proved sensitive and reliable in determining genomic DNA.

Objective To investigate the effect of simvastatin and aspirin on atherosclerosis and its effect on non endothelium dependent diastolic function(NMD)and blood lipid in patients.Methods Retrospective analyzed a total of 95 the clinical data of patients with atherosclerosis treated in Tianjin Baodi Hospital from August 2014 to May 2016.The patients were divided into simvastatin group and combined treatment group according to their treatment methods,simvastatin group was given simvastatin,combined treatment group was given aspirin on the basis of simvastatin.After four weeks treatment,the difference of plaque quantity,NMD and blood lipid between the two groups were observed.Results After treatment,the size and number of plaques in the combined treatment group were smaller than those in the simvastatin group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),the NMD level in the combined treatment group was significantly higher than that in the simvastatin group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),the levels of IL-18,IL-6 and hs-CRP in the combined treatment group were lower than those in the simvastatin group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),the levels of LDL-C,TG and TC in the combined treatment group were lower than those in the simvastatin group,HDL-C levels were higher than simvastatin group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Simvastatin combined with aspirin can significantly improve the endothelium dependent diastolic function and lipid level in patients with atherosclerosis,and has good therapeutic effect.

Objective To investigate the role of hyperoxaluria and unilateral complete ureteral obstruction in the development of renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis. Methods Forty male Wistar rats were divided into four groups randomly,with ten rats in each.The groups were named A(control),B(hyperoxaluric),C(obstructive) and D(hyperoxaluric+obstructive).The rats were sacrificed 2 weeks after operation;left nephrectomy was then performed.The tissue sections obtained from kidneys were examined under light microscopy for the presence and the degree of crystal deposition in the tubular lumen.Apoptotic changes in renal tubular cells were examined using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase(TdT)-mediated dUTP in situ nick and labeling (TUNEL) method. Results Oxalate crystal deposition was evident in the renal tubular lumen in groups B and D,while there was no evidence in groups A and C.With respect to apoptotic changes,the mean values of the apoptotic cell count were 1.1?1.1 in A and 31.3?8.0 in B.The values for C and D were 145.0?33.4 and 275.8?51,respectively.There was statistically significant difference between all goups ( P

Objective To investigate the applied value of adipose-derived stromal cells(ADSCs) transfected glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor(GDNF)by lentivirus in cerebral transplantation.Methods Primarily isolated and cultured, the rat ADSCs were transfected GDNF by high-titer lentivirus. Then, configuration of cells and expression of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) were observed. By stereotaxic frame, transfected ADSCs were intrastriatally transplanted.1month and 2month after transplantation, survival and migration of marked cells were detected. GDNF expression, verified by Western blot, was compared with control group.Results ADSCs, transfected by lentivirus, can differentiate into neuron-like cells and express NSE in cytolymph. 1 month after transplantation, the majority of cells survived in transplanting area. 2 month later, part of transplanted cells still survived and migrated far from the transplanting area. In addition, the level of GDNF protein in the brain tissue was significantly higher compared with control group (all P
