Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2012;30(2):101-105
BackgroundWith the number of diabetics increases,people pay more attention to the diabetic keratopathy.The major mechanism leading to diabetic keratopathy is diabetic corneal neuropathy.So it is significant to observe pathologic mechanism of diabetic corneal neuropathy. Objective To investigate the protective effects of edaravone( a free radical scavenger) on corneal nerve of rats with experimental diabetic corneal neuropathy,then explain the effects of oxidative stress in the pathologic mechanism of diabetic corneal neuropathy. Methods Seventy Sprague-Daxley male rats were taken as experimental subjects and 20 of them were used as normal control group.The remaining 50 were induced to be diabetic mellitus by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin and divided into 2 groups randomly:edaravone treated group and diabetic control group.In the edaravone treated group,edaravone(0.2 g/L) eye drops were used 3 times a day until the animal was killed.Five rats in each group were sacrificed at 6,8,10 and 12 weeks respectively.Then the corneal sensation,number of corneal nerve fibers,morphology,content of malondialdehyde(MDA) and activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) in the corneal tissue were detected.ResultsIn the diabetic control group,the corneal sensation and the number of corneal nerve fibers were decreased,the density of neural network for cluster was sparse,the nerve activity was decreased,the content of MDA in the corneal tissue was significantly increased,the activity of SOD in the corneal tissue was significantly decreased (P<0.01 ).Accompany with the course of disease,the above change was obvious day after day.Compared with the diabetic control group,the corneal sensation and the morphological abnormalities in corneal nerve of edaravone group were improved significantly which had the partial branches to the 12th week,the content of MDA in the corneal tissue was significantly decreased,the activity of SOD in the corneal tissue was significantly increased (P<0.01).Conclusions Edaravone can lower diabetic corneal nerve of rats with experimental diabetic corneal neuropathyinjury,Oxidative stress may be a critical pathologic mechanism of diabetic corneal neuropathy.

Microbiology 2008;0(07):-
There are one third of synthesized proteins must be secreted to the cell surface or to the surrounding environment to acquire their native functional state. Most of them are exported by Sec translocase (secretion pathway). Sec translocase consists of a membrane embedded protein-conducting channel, termed SecYEG and a peripherally associated motor domain, the ATPase SecA. The SecDFyajC heterotrimeric membrane protein complex can facilitates protein translocation. SecB is a molecular chaperone that functions in the protein translocation pathway. SecM (secretion monitor) encoded by the 5' region of the secM-secA mRNA, which elongation arrest is required for upregulated expression of SecA. The signal sequence in the N terminus of the nascent peptide is first recognized by the signal recognition particle (SRP). SecB, the Sec-system-specific chaperone, channels the preprotein to the Sec translocation pathway and, ad- ditionally, actively targets the bound precursor to the translocase by its ability to bind SecA. The preprotein-bearing SecA then binds to the membrane, at a high-affinity SecA-binding site, SecYEG, which constitutes a channel for polypeptide movement. Continued translocation requires cycles of ATP hydrolysis bySecA, which is thought to occur in a step-wise fashion with a step of 20~30 amino acid residues.
8.The clinical features and quality of life study of juvenile idiopathic arthritis
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(3):228-231
Objective To explore the clinical features and long-term prognosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)in children, as well as particular quality of life associated with the clinical features and therapeutic options. Methods Seventy patients from August 1997 to August 2007 were retrospectively reviewed and survey was conducted using a questionnaire indicating quality of life(CHAQ questionnaires and CHQ questionnaire, adjusted appropriately) either by phone,letter or out-patient follow-up approach.The manner of correlation and logistic regression was used to analyze quality of life associated with the clinical features and therapeutic options. Results (l)The majority (74.3%) of patients were diagnosed as systemic onset JIA. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient of questionnaire is 0.9599, with a higher inernal consistency reliability. The scales validity also had the higher construction. Sixty nine cases with 76.8 percent of the score showed good quality of life. Quality of life in children less than 5 years old was significantly different from those more than 5-year old( P < 0.05). The rank sum test of single-use NSAIDs group and NSAIDs adding other medicine group suggested that the two groups had differences in quality of life( P = 0.026) .The correlation coefficient between the variables of time from onset to formal treatment and quality of life scores was 0.329( P < 0.05), and "walking"as the dependent variable for the regression analysis showed regression coefficient was 0.15( P = 0.016). The variable grip had the significant relationship with the "disease onset to regular treatment, the initial number of joint involvement" respectively. Conclusion Systemic oneset JIA is the most common type of JIA. Most of JIA patients have a good prognosis.The major factors which may cause the decline in the quality of life are age, duration without therapy after the disease onset,and the compliance to medication.To achieve a better prognosis,more aggressive therapy may be needed and individulized.

Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) can directly act on tumor cells to inhibit their growth,and could also migrate to the tissue lesions and tumor tissues to transfer and express many kinds of anti-cancer factors.Numerous researches have applied MSCs as carriers of drugs to induce apoptosis,inhibit differentiation of tumor cells and inhibit tumor angiogenesis,and have got outstanding antitumor results.
10.Application of the mortality in emergency department sepsis score for emergency department patients with sepsisi
Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2011;20(8):797-802
ObjectiveTo assess the sepsis score used for detecting the mortality of patients with sepsis in emergency department, and to compare with APACHE Ⅱ score, simplified acute physiology Ⅱ score ( SAPS Ⅱ ) and modified early warning score (MEWS) in terms of 28-day mortality of patients. Methods A total of 613 patients with sepsis were enrolled from the emergency department for a prospective study from September 2009 to September 2010. The sepsis score, APACHE Ⅱ score, SAPS Ⅱ score and MEWS score all were recorded and compared. The patients with sepsis were followed up for 28 days. Based on the sepsis score, patients with sepsis were stratified into 5 mortality risk groups, namely very low risk group (0~4 points), low risk group (5 ~7 paints), moderate risk group (8 ~ 12 points), high risk group ( 13 ~ 15points) and very high risk group (more than 15 points). The actual mortality rates were compared among all 5 groups by using Chi square test. Then, comparison between survivors and non-survivors carried out with logistic regression analysis to determine the independent risk factors of mortality.Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to compare the sepsis score with APACHE Ⅱ score, SAPS Ⅱscore and MEWS in respect of the prognosis validity. ResultsTen patients were out of the follow-up and the data of 603 patients followed up were completely documented. The actual mortality rates of 5 risk groups were 0%, 7.7%, 18.5%, 46. 7% and 63%, respectively. There were significant differences in age and four scoring systems between survivors ( n = 440) and non-survivors ( n = 163 ) ( P < 0. 01 ). Sepsis score,APACHE Ⅱ score, SAPS Ⅱ and MEWS all were valid and eligible for detecting the risk of mortality in patients with sepsis. The ROC areas under the curve (AUC) of these 4 scoring systems were 0. 767, 0. 743,0. 741 and 0. 636, respectively. ConclusionsThe sepsis score can be used to stratify patients with sepsis according to mortality risk with better sensitivity to predict 28-day mortality. It is rational for evaluation in prediction of patients with sepsis in Emergency Department.
