Background Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetic mellitus,but its pathogenesis is still unclear.Adiponectin may restrain inflammatory reaction and reduce adhesion of vascular endothelial cell to influence diabetic microangiopathy.Relation between adiponectin and nitric oxide synthase (NOS)is less reported.Objective This study was to observe the effect of adiponectin on the expression of NOS in the retinas of diabetic rats.Methods Forty 8-10 weeks Sprague-Dawley (SD) female rats were collected.The rats were randomized into the normal control group (10 rats),adiponectin group (15 rats) and diabetic model control group (15 rats) using the random number table method.Tetraoxypyrimidine was intraperitoneally injected to establish the diabetic model in the rats of the adiponectin group and diabetic model control group,and 10 μg/kg of adiponectin was then injected into the rats of the adiponectin group.Western blot was used to detect the expression of the adiponectin protein in the rat retinas,and the expression of NOS in rat retina was located by immunochemistry.The use of the animals complied with the Regulations for the Administration of Affairs Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission.Results The relative amount of adiponectin (adiponectin/β-actin)in the retinas was 0.85 ± 0.21,0.79 ± 0.17 and 0.42 ± 0.08,respectively,in the normal control group,adiponectin group and diabetic model control group,with significant differences among the 3 groups (F =4.236,P =0.000).The adiponectin/β-actin ratio in the retinas of the diabetic model control group was significantly declined in comparison with the normal control group and adiponectin group (q =6.615,P =0.000 ; q =6.026,P =0.000).The NOS levels (A value) in the retinas were 0.244 ± 0.035,0.262 ± 0.032 and 0.367 ± 0.066,respectively,in the normal control group,adiponectin group and diabetic model control group,showing a significant difference among them (F =3.752,P =0.001).The A value of NOS in the diabetic model control group was significantly increased in comparison with the normal control group and adiponectin group (q =3.488,P =0.002 ; q =3.079,P =0.005).NOS expression was localized to the inner nuclear layer and retinal ganglion cell layer.Conclusions Adiponectin reduces NO content in diabetic rat retinas by regulating NOS expression.

Objective Establish rabbit VX2 soft tissue tumor model,and treat it with percutaneous ethanol injection(PEI)under the guidance of magnetic resonance imaging.Make ready for the therapeutic evaluation with functional magnetic resonance imaging. Methods Fifteen healthy New Zealand white rabbits were included in this study.0.2 mL tumor tissue suspensions were injected into the rabbits’posterior limb.14 days later,all rabbits were underwent conventional MRI examination.PET were performed to all the tumors under the guidance of MRI in the next day of the examination.T2 WI was used as guidance and monitoring means.MR com-patible puncture needle with lateral hole was stabed into the lesion center,and inj ected anhydrous ethanol according to the volume of tumors’diameter (1 mL/cm )slowly.the tumors signal characteristics,morphological feature and pathological feature were ob-served pre and post-operation.Results All of the 1 5 rabbits were established soft tissue tumor model successfully;the success rate is 100%.The tumors were oval or round,3-4 cm in diam.MRI scanning showed low signal on T1 WI and high signal on T2 WI be-fore PEI.PEI was performed to all the tumors under the guidance of MR successfully with 3.5 mL ethanol injected into the tumors in average.T2 WI could monitor the ethanol in dispersion and distribution within the tumors clearly.Histologically,tumors were composed of large,uniform,oval/round cells arranged in solid nests which was intensive in the periphery of tumors.Necrosis tissue was apparent in the center of the tumors.10 days after operation,most tissue in the periphery of tumors was coagulative necrosis , only a few tumor cells left.Ranges of necrosis in the tumors center were obviously increased compared with pre-operation.Conclusion Rabbit VX2 tumor of soft tissue model is suitable for the therapeutic evaluation of tumor .It is an animal model which has the characteristic of simple to operate and high rate of suc-cessful.MR T2 WI can monitor the ethanol in dispersion and distribution within the tumors clearly.It is a good guidance and monitoring imaging method of tumor ablation.

In order to construct a recombinant plasmid containing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting survivin and to investigate its effect on survivin expression and cell apoptosis of human retinoblastoma cell line Hxo-rb44 in vitro, RNA interference plasmid pSIRENS that can express shRNA of survivin was designed, constructed, and transfected into human retinoblastoma cell line Hxo-rb44. Survivin and c-Myc expression was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot. Apoptosis of Hxo-rb44 cells was assayed by Honchest33258 staining and cell growth curve was drawn. The results showed that the oligonucleotide targeting survivin was identified in pSIRENS plasmid. After pSIRENS plasmid transfected, survivin and c-Myc expression in Hxo-rb44 cells was decreased significantly. Apoptotic rate of cells was up-regulated from (3.5+/-1.29) % to (36.1+/-19.66) %. The proliferation ability of Hxo-rb44 cells was inhibited. No significant effects on survivin expression and apoptosis of the cells were found when negative control plasmid was transfected. In conclusion, the plasmid containing shRNA targeting survivin was constructed successfully. It could inhibit efficiently the expression of survivin and c-Myc in human retinoblastoma cell Hxo-rb44 in vitro. The inhibition of the expression of c-Myc might be involved in the apoptosis of Hxo-rb44 cells.

Students(64)of two years in our department were divided into two groups in experimental teaching of forensic toxicology analysis:in one group,the methods of LBL was performed,while the methods of PBL was performed in the other group. By comparing effects between these two methods,we analyzed the function methods of PBL to improve students'experimental skills and capacity of analyzing and solving problems. It was concluded that the PBL methods was more suitable for the experiment teaching of forensic toxicology analysis than the LBL methods.
