Objective To investigate the effects of intravitreal injection of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) on the vitreoretinal adhesion and the vitreous gelatin. Methods Twenty-four pigmented rabbits were randomly divided into 3 experimental groups (group A, B, and C)and one control group with 6 rabbits (12 eyes) in each. Different concentrations of 0.1 ml MMP-3 (5,10, 20 ng in group A, B, and C, respectively) and equivalent dose of balanced salt solution were intravitreally injected to the rabbits, respectively. Clinical examinations (such as gross observation, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, indirect fundus ophthalmoscopy ), electroretinography (ERG) and fundus fluorecein angiography (FFA) were taken before and after injection. Results One week after injection, posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) and focal vitreous liquefaction were recognized clinically for the first time in 1 eye in group B. By the end of this study, clinically detected PVD developed in 1 eye in group A, 3 eyes in group B, but the synchisis developed slowly, and no liquefaction or PVD occurred in control group. As for the histological examination, partial PVD was observed in 1 eye in group A and 3 eyes in group B 60 minutes after injection. All of the eyes in group A and B showed partial PVD 1 week after injection, and the area of PVD enlarged in contrast with before. Complete PVD were recognized in 1 eye in group A and 3 eyes in group B 15 weeks after injection, and the cleavage was narrow and limited. In group C, inflammatory cell infiltration in the inner layer of retina, destruction of retinal structure, and fluorescein leakage at late phase was found in the early period after injection. Conclusions MMP-3 is effective in disrupting the adhesion of the posterior hyaloid to the inner limiting membrane leading to PVD, and helpful to some extent in producing vitreous liquefaction. The dose of 10 ng MMP-3 is safe and effective for the rabbits eyes, which may be used as an promising assistant of vitreous surgery.

Object To study the volatile constituents in the TCM preparation "Pao Chai Pill" made in Yangcheng (Guangzhou) (YPCP) in comparison with that made in Hongkong (HPCP) to gain some insight for the renewal of YPCP to a new dosage form Methods The volatile constituents were extracted with the aid of ultrasonic wave in organic solvent, and identified by GC-MS and elucidated on the standard MS data Their relative contents in percentage were calculated by area normalization Results 24 and 20 volatile constituents were identified in YPCP and HPCP respectively Conclusion YPCP showed more rich in sesquiterpene lactones but less sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpene alcohols than HPCP

AIM: To observe the influence of Toufengyu Dropping Pill(Rhizome chuanxiong,Radix angelicae dahuricae,etc) on neuropeptide and vasoactive substances in rat's migraine model. METHODS: Rat's migraine model caused by nitroglycerin were given Toufengyu Dropping Pill and rat's behavior and blood levels of NO,CGRP,ET,TXB_2 and 6-keto-PGF_(1a) were measured. RESULTS: The experimental results showed that Toufengyou Dropping Dill could obviously decrease rat's positive reaction number,the blood levels of NO,CGRP,TXB_2 and 6-keto-PGF_(1a),and increase the blood plasma level of ET,and rectify the imbalance of ET/NO ratio. CONCLUSION: Toufengyou Dropping Pill can affect the contents of neurotransmitter,neuropeptide in rat's migraine,then decrease the algoenic and inflammatory substances,relieve the neurogenic inflammation,and increase the pain threshold value,finally be quite effective for migraine.

Objective To study the protective effect of nalmefene hydrochloride on lung ischemia-reperfusion injury and its mechanism.Methods 40 rats were randomly divided into model group,high dose of nalmefene group,low dose nalmefene group and sham operation group equally(n =10).The lung ischemia-reperfusion model was established by occlusion of the left pulmonary hilum.The intravenous injection of nalmefene (20,10 μg·kg-1) was applied at 10 minutes before occlusion of the left pulmonary hilum in the high dose of nalmefene group and the low dose of nalmefene group,respectively.The sham operation group without occlusion of the left pulmonary hilum was not given any treatment.At 2 h after reperfusion,all rats were detected arterial blood gas value and then sacrificed.The specimens from the upper lobe of the left lung tissue were preserved to observe pulmonary lesions,detect the ratio of wet / dry weight and the expressions of β-endorphin and interleukin(IL)-17.Results Compared with the model group,the value of PCO2,the degree of pulmonary lesions,the ratio of wet / dry weight and the expressions of β-endorphin and IL-17 in lung tissue were significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.01),while the value of PO2 was significantly increased (P ＜ 0.01) in the low dose of nalmefene group.Compared with the low dose of nalmefene group,thevalue of PCO2,the degree of pulmonary lesions,the ratio of wet/dry weight and the expressions of β-endorphin and IL-17 in lung tissue were significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.01),while the value of PO2was significantly increased (P ＜ 0.01) in the high dose of nalmefene group.Conclusion Nalmefene hydrochloride may prevent lung ischemia-reperfusion injury in a dose dependent manner by reducing the production of β-endorphin and inhibiting the expression of IL-17 in lung tissue.

Objective To compare the prognosis effect of different Helicobacter pylori (Hp)eradication methods in patients with chronic gastritis.Methods One hundred and twenty patients with chronic gastritis diagnosed by gastroscopy and pathology examination were divided into sequential therapy group (36 cases),triple-combined therapy group (34 cases),Hp positive without eradication group (30cases) and Hp negative group (20 cases) according to the Hp infection status.All patients were followed up by gastroscopy,biopsy and rapid urease test before and after therapy.Results The Hp eradication rate in sequential therapy group was 94.44％ (34/36),in triple-combined therapy group was 73.53％ (25/34),and there was statistical difference (x2 =5.775,P =0.016).The symptoms scores and gastroscopy scores after therapy in the four groups were significantly lower than those before therapy,and there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05).The symptoms scores and gastroscopy scores after therapy in sequential therapy group were significantly lower than those in triple-combined therapy group,and there were statistical differences (P ＜0.05).The symptoms scores and gastroscopy scores after therapy in sequential therapy group,triple-combined therapy group and Hp negative group were significantly lower than those in Hp positive without eradication group [(0.84 ± 0.60),(1.34 ± 0.59),(1.49 ± 0.62) scores vs.(2.98 ± 0.54) scores,(0.47 ± 0.37),(0.83 ± 0.35),(0.96 ± 0.75) scores vs.(1.22 ± 0.40) scores],and there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The Hp eradication rate of sequential therapy is higher than that of triple-combined therapy.The two therapy methods can both improve the symptoms score and gastroscopy score,but the symptoms after sequential therapy are relieved faster compared with triple-combined therapy.
