In this study, we investigated the expression of CXCL12 (SDF-1)/CXCR4 in trophoblasts and the role they play in the gestation. Immunochemistry was used to detect the expression of CXCR4 and CXCL12 in human villi and placenta. Highly purified extra-villous trophoblasts (EVTs) ere detected for CXCR4 and CXCL12 in vitro by immunocytochemistry. The chemotaxis of CXCL12 was tested in transwell and the chemotactic activity was quantitatively examined. It was suggested that both CXCR4 and CXCL12 were expressed in trophoblasts and were decreased with the gestation time P < 0.05). In a certain coverage, CXCL12 exhibited chemotactic activity which was positively correlated with its concentration [(r) = 0.68, P < 0.01], the maximum chemotactic index (CI) was 1.62 +/- 0.12. Our results suggest that interaction between CXCR4 and CXCL12 is involved in materno-fetal immunological tolerance in all three trimesters of gestation and contributes to the invasion of EVTs during pregnancy.

The expression of sLea/x which correlates with conventional histopathologic parameters serves as a useful indicator for the prognosis of metastatic disease. The bindings between sLea/x and their common ligand E-selectin initiate hematogenous metastasis of cancer. Certain bioactive conformation is crucial for the interaction between sLea/x and their ligands. Thus, a new class of compounds that mimic the structures of sLea/x can potently inhibit not only their functional bindings to selectins, but also the metastasis of cancer. This review is mainly on the sLea/x molecular structure,biosynthesis,distribution, especially the relationship between sLea/x and hematogenous metastasis of cancer and the design of drugs that mimic the structures of sLea/x.

To compare the clinical effect of phacoemulsification and middle incision extracapsular cataract extraction ( Ml-ECCE) . METHODS: One hundred and eighty - five eyes of phacoemulsification (137 cases) and 185 eyes of 139 cases for Ml-ECCE from January 2011 to May 2013 were involved in this study. And the ratio posterior capsular rupture during surgery, visual acuity, corneal edema, corneal astigmatism and intraocular pressure post operation were followed up.RESULTS: On 1d after surgery, uncorrected visual acuity in the group of Ml-ECCE was better than that of phacoemulsification group, while from 3d; 1 and 3mo after surgery, no significant difference was found from the above two groups. On 1d postoperation, corneal edema ratio in phacoemulsification group ( 45 eyes ) was higher than that in Ml-ECCE group(20 eyes) ( X2=11. 665, P=0. 0006 ) . No significant difference was found for the ratio of posterior capsule rupture during surgery in these two surgical technique groups(X2=0. 094,P=0. 759). On 1wk;1 and 3mo after surgery, significant difference was found for the average of surgical induced corneal astigmatism between two groups (u=6. 661, 6. 880, 4. 187, P = 0. 00, respectively ). During following up, no significant difference was found for the intraocular pressure between two groups ( u=1. 858, 0. 963, 0. 471, 1. 349, 1. 388; P= 0. 063, 0. 335, 0. 638, 0. 177, 0. 165). lntraocular pressure on 1d postoperation in phacoemulsification and Ml-ECCE groups was higher than before operation ( u = 19. 86, 19. 39, P = 0. 00, respectively). And on 1wk; 1 and 3mo postoperation, intraocular pressure in the operated eyes in both groups was lower than before operation for 2~3mmHg.CONCLUSlON: Although phacoemulsification and Ml-ECCE could both get good visual rehabilitation, with similar visual outcome, no significant effect for intraocular pressure, and no severe complications, the latter one owns the advantage that easier maneuver, quicker recovery, and cheaper instruments needed, which is suitable for the hard nuclei cataract in local hospitals. Ml-ECCE is a safe, effective and easy manipulation for local hospital for large batch of cataract surgeries.

Objective To findout the current situation of plague,and the population structure and density distribution of rodent.Methods According to The Plague Monitoring Scheme of Inner Mongolia,we surveyed the surrounding areas of Ceke and Xinximiao.The density of rats was surveyed by one-day bow-clip method and the method of 5 meters clamp law catching rats was used.According to The Plague Diagnostic Criteria(WS 279-2008),the rats and fleas were detected by isolation and culture of Yersinia pestis,the serums of rodent were tested by indirect hemagglutination test.Results From 2002 to 2012,the monitored area was 291 km2.The number of qnadrat in every square kilometers was 118.The number of rodent captured was 1051,the number of Meriones Meridianus was 526,accounting for 50.05％ (526/1051),the number of Euchoreutes Naso was 175,accounting for 16.65％ (175/1051),and the number of Rhombomys Opimus was 154 accounting for 14.65％(154/1051).The average rodent density was 8.91/hm2.Etiology and serological test results were negative,46 groups of 753 fleas were cultured and 154 serum samples were tested.Conclusions There is no epidemic situation of animal plague in this area,but Meriones Meridianus is a dominant rat with high resistant.So,intensive monitoring should be strengthened in this area to prevent the prevalence of rodent and human plague.

Objective To observe the photocoagulation treatment effect of using 532 semiconductor laser in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy .Methods A total of 50 cases(95 eyes) of nonproliferative and proliferative dia betic retinopathy received local retinal photocoagulation ,grid photocoagulation or panretinal photocoagulation treatment carried out by 532 semiconductor laser .We observed visual acuity ,slit lamp biomicroscopy ,intraocular pressure ,oph-thalmoscopy,fundus fluorescence angiography (FFA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT).These patients were followed up for 6 months after laser treatment .Results Among the 95 eyes,visual acuity was improved in 36 eyes (37.9%),unchanged in 52 eyes(54.7%) and decreased in 7 eyes(7.4%).Among the 26 eyes with clinical signifi-cant macular edema ( CSME ) , macular edema was resolved completely or partly resolved after photocoagulation . Conclusion Photocoagulation with 532 semiconductor laser in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy was safe and ef-fective.

Objective To evaluate left ventricular regional volume and function of the patients with myocardial infarction by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography.Methods The study consisted of 24 normal subjects and 27 patients with myocardial infarction.Three-dimensional image data were acquired and were analysed offline.Regional volume curves and regional ejection fraction curves were derived.Regional diastolic volumes,regional systolic volumes and regional ejection fractions were compared respectively between two groups.Results The normal regional volume curves and regional ejection fraction curves were regular parabola.The regional volume increased and ejection fraction decreased in the zones with infarction,and the amplitudes of the regional volume curves and the regional ejection fraction curves decreased.Conclusions Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography can evaluate left ventricular regional volume and regional function objectively.

Objective To quantitatively analyze the energy loss (EL) in left ventricle with vector flow mapping (VFM) in hypertensive patients,and try to reveal the correlation of EL with cardiac structure and function.Methods Hypertension group:52 hypertensive individuals were enrolled in our study,divided into 4 subgroups:①14 patients with normal geometry(NG);②20 patients with concentric remodeling(CR);③15 patients with concentric hypertrophy(CH);④3 patients with eccentric hypertrophy(EH)(not enrolled in subgroup analysis).Health control group were composed of 32 healthy volunteers.LVEF,LVMI and E/e′ were measured.And the EL in left ventricle was measured at different phases and different segments based on VFM images.Results ①EL comparison:in the phrase of late diastole(DL),isovolumic contraction(IVC) and rapid ejection(RE),compared with the control group,EL in entirety and each segment of left ventricle in hypertension group increased (P<0.05);Compared with the control group,EL in entirety and each segment of left ventricle in each subgroup of hypertension increased (P<0.05);EL among different subgroups showed no statistically significant difference(P>0.05);②Correlation analysis:in the phrase of DL,IVC and RE,EL in entirety and each segment of left ventricle showed significant positive correlations with LVMI and with E/e′ (P<0.05).In the phrase of DL,EL in entirety and each segment of left ventricle showed significant negative correlations with LVEF(P<0.05).Conclusions EL measured quantitatively by VFM is more sensitive to reflect the changes of hemodynamic in hypertensive individuals.EL is closely correlated with cardiac structure and function.
