Visual dysfunction is a common complication in cerebral palsy, including low visual acuity, refractive errors, strabismus, abnormal visual field, absent stereopsis, abnormal fundoscopic fingdings and nystagmus, etc. Low visual acuity is reported in almost three-quarters of patients.The incidence of strabismus is 39%~50% and nystagmus is 9.5%. Periventricular leukomalacia, introventricular hemorrhage and low birth weight are risk factors of visual dysfunctions in cerebral palsy.

Aim To observe the protective effects of breviscapine against lung fibrosis and investigate its possible mechanism.Methods Effects of breviscapine on cell proliferation,activation and extracellular matrix secretion were examined in mouse embryonic lung fibroblast L929 cells in vitro.The mouse model of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis was used to assess the protective effect of breviscapine against lung fibrosis.Results In vitro,breviscapine had no cytotoxicity directly on L929 cells,however,it could suppress cell proliferation,activation and secretion of laminin(LN) and collagen Ⅰ(ColⅠ) induced by transforming growth factor beta1(TGF-?1) in L929 cells.In vivo,breviscapine could prevent increase in serum TGF-?1 and decrease in superoxide dismutase(SOD),peroxidase(POD) and catalase(CAT) in mice with lung fibrosis caused by bleomycin.In addition,breviscapine was able to reduce pulmonary hydroxyproline,collagen,malondialdehyde(MDA)and TGF-?1 in lung fibrosis mice.Conclusion Breviscapine has protective effect against lung fibrosis and the possible mechanism is to enhance antioxidative defense activities and prevent TGF-? signal.

Objective To analyze the magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)features of multiple sclerosis(MS)patients both in the brain and the spinal cord and to explore its relationship with factors such as quality of life,disability of MS patients and so on.Methods A total of 170 MS patients confirmed clinically underwent MRI examination and answered the questionnaires of Multiple Sclerosis Quality Of Life-54 instrument,Expanded Disability Status Scale,Hamilton Anxiety Scale and Hamilton Depression Scale.Results The lesions on brain MRI were usually seen in the white matter around the lateral ventricles,the centrum ovale majus and frontal lobe.The commonly seen length of the single lesions on the spinal cord was as long as that of 1-2 vertebral bodies,but that of the fused lesions was as long as that of 4-5 vertebral bodies.The distribution of the lesions was significantly correlated with the quality of life,the degrees of the disability,anxiety and depression.Conclusion MRI examination is useful for early and better diagnosis of MS and can provide guidance for treatment,and thus can improve the prognosis and the quality of life of patients.

Objective To discover the mutations of rare thalassemia genes by sequencing of α and β-globin genes,to understand the frequency of rare mutations and to enrich thalassemia gene mutation spectrum in Chinese population.Methods For the cases of phenotype and genotype inconsistent,the 1st generation of sequencing was performed for α or β-globin gene coding region sequence analysis.Results A total of 102 patients with rare thalassemia gene mutations were found by sequencing,including 79 cases of β-thalassemia with 35 kinds of mutant types,and 23 cases of α-thalassemia with 11 kinds of mutant types.Conclusion The thalassemia gene sequencing could reveal rare mutations in genes,identify the genotype of patients,provide important support for prenatal diagnosis of rare thalassemia families,and reduce the missing rate and birth rate of children with thalassemia.

Objective To investigate influence of Qi-strengthening,blood-activating and toxin-removing therapy on plasma and colonic P-selectin in ulcerative colitis(UC) rats.Methods Trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid(TNBS) was used for the establishment of SD rat models of UC.UC rats were randomized into the model group,western medicine group(gastric gavage of suspension of Olsalazine Sodium Capsules 0.266 g?kg-1?d-1),and herbal medicine group(gastric gavage of Kuijie Fufa Recipe 20 g?kg-1?d-1).Meanwhile,a normal control group was set up.After medication for 10 and 30 days,and after drug withdrawal for 10 days,plasma P-selectin level was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and colonic P-selectin expression was detected by immunohistochemical assay.Results Plasma P-selectin level was increased in the model group in different time(P

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the establishment of quality standard for Fresh Gastrodia elata lyophilized powder. METHODS:TLC was conducted for the qualitative identification of G. elata in preparation,and HPLC was conducted for the content determination of gastrodin in preparation. The column was Diamonsil C18 with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.05% phos-phoric acid(3∶97,V/V)at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,detection wavelength was 220 nm,column temperature was 25 ℃ and vol-ume injection was 10 μl. RESULTS:TLC pots of Fresh G. elata lyophilized powder were clear and well-separated. The linear of gastrodin was 2.9-14.5 μg/ml(r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were no more than 1.00%;recov-ery was 98.07%-102.70%(RSD=1.74%,n=6). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,accurate and reproducible,and suitable for the quality control of Fresh G. elata lyophilized powder.

Objective To establish HPLC characteristic spectrum of Polygonum Capitatum from GAP planting base, and provide reference for the overall quality control of Polygonum Capitatum. Methods HPLC analysis was performed on a DiamonsiL C18 chromatographic column (250 mm× 4.6 mm, 5μm) with the eluting system of gradient consisted of methanol and 0.2% H3PO4. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min. The column temperature was maintained at 25℃ and the detection wavelength was at 254 nm.Results HPLC characteristic spectrum of Polygonum Capitatum samples from 10 different areas was established, which contained 11 common peaks, and the similarities of comparative results were over 90%.Conclusion The established method can be used to determine the characteristic spectrum of Polygonum Capitatum and can provide a basis for the overall quality control and quality standards of Polygonum Capitatum.

Objective To investigate changes in serum levels of antinuclear antibody(ANA), anti?double?stranded DNA(dsDNA)antibody and anti?extractable nuclear antigen(ENA)antibody before and after anti?tumor necrosis factor?α(TNF?α)therapy in psoriatic patients. Methods Clinical data obtained from 32 patients with psoriasis were analyzed retrospectively. Of the 32 patients, 13 received intravenous injection of 5 mg/Kg infliximab at week 0, 2, 6 for 3 sessions, then once every 8 weeks(infliximab group), while other 19 received subcutaneous injection of 25 mg etanercept twice every week(etanercept group). The treatments in the 2 groups both lasted more than 3 months. Serum levels of ANA, anti?dsDNA antibody and anti?ENA antibody and changes of clinical symptoms were detected and observed respectively before each treatment in the infliximab group, as well as every 3- 6 months in the etanercept group. The 75%reduction in psoriasis area and severity index(PASI75)and disease activity score of 28 joints(DAS28) were used to evaluate clinical efficacy. Serum levels of ANA, anti?dsDNA antibody and anti?ENA antibody were measured by indirect immunofluorescence(IIF)assay, Western blot analysis combined with enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), and Western blot analysis, respectively. Results After 3?month treatment, the 32 patients achieved clinical remission to different extents. Of 32 patients receiving anti?TNF?αtherapy, 7(21.9%)developed new autoantibodies. Concretely speaking, 4 patients in the infliximab group developed autoantibodies in 8.3 ± 5.1 months, including 3 cases positive for ANA and 3 for anti?ENA antibody. Three patients in the etanercept group developed autoantibodies in 9.0 ± 3.0 months, including 3 cases positive for ANA and 1 for anti?ENA antibody. Conclusion Partial patients with psoriasis may develop autoantibodies after anti?TNF?αtherapy.
