AIM:Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) activation is critical for growth factor-mediated cell proliferation. The present study was designed to determine the effect of the tyrphostin AG1295 and AG1296, a selective blocker of PDGF βand αRTK,on proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) development.METHODS:Rabbit conjunctival fibroblasts (RCF) cells were cultured.The effects of AG1295, AG1296,PDGF-AA and PDGF-BB on RCF proliferation are evaluated by MTT assay.Homologous rabbit conjunctival fibroblasts were injected intravitreally to make animal PVR model, followed by injection of 100μmol/L of AG1295 or AG1296 respectively. The presence of tractional retinal detachment (TRD) was assessed to evaluate the effect of AG1295 and AG1296 in vivo .Electroretinography and histologic studies were performed after intravitreal injection of AG1295 into untreated eyes to evaluate toxicity. RESULTS: Both AG1295 and AG1296 (10μmol/L) significantly inhibited rabbit conjunctival fibroblast cell growth stimulated by PDGF-AA or -BB in vitro.Development of TRD was significantly reduced (P<0.05) with 100 μmol/L of AG1295 or AG1296 in vivo, but the effect of AG1295 only present till day 14. Inhibitive effect of AG1296 is longer than that of AG1295.No significant histologic or retinal functional damage was found in both drug-treated groups. CONCLUSION: PDGF αand βreceptor specific inhibitor AG1296 and AG1295 attenuated PVR without significant side effects in rabbits, and AG1296 was better than AG1295. The much longer and stronger therapeutic effect from PDGFαreceptor inhibitor indicated that PDGF α receptor is more important in the development of PVR, and inhibition of this pathway could be a useful treatment alternative to prevent PVR.

Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine 2010;30(4):403-406
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect and possible mechanism of gypenoside (GP) on expression of inflammatory factors in aortic lesion of rats with high-fat induced atherosclerosis.
METHODSAtherosclerotic rat model was established by feeding high-fat diet and intraperitoneal injection of vitamin D3. Sixty healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into the normal group, the model group, the simvastatin treated group and the three GP groups treated respectively with different dosages of GP. Rats were sacrificed 7 weeks later, their histopathological changes in thoracic aorta were observed by light microscope; expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and nuclear factor-kappaBp65 (NF-kappaBp65) in aortic wall were detected by immunohistochemistry; serum level of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) was determined by ELISA; serum total antioxidant capacity determined by colorimetry, and serum malondialdehyde (MDA) level determined by Thiobarbituric acid method.
RESULTSIn comparing with the model group, GPS showed actions in lessening the atherosclerosis lesion; reducing expressions of ICAM-1, MCP-1 and NF-kappaBp65 in aortic wall (P<0.01) and serum levels of MDA, ox-LDL (P < 0.01), as well as increasing the serum level of total antioxidant capacity (P < 0.01 ).
CONCLUSIONGP can down-regulate the expressions of ICAM-1 and MCP-1, inhibit the atherosclerosis formation in experimental rats, its mechanism might be related with its anti-oxidation effect and further inhibiting on the NF-kappaB activation.

For the children who suffer trauma in earthquake, rehabilitation care aims to promote functional recovery, shorten hospital stay, and reduce the incidence of complications or disability by evidence-based, multidisciplinary, and comprehensive early rehabilitation intervention on the basis of first aid and clinical treatment. Children are likely to suffer traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, peripheral nerve injury, limb fracture, and amputation in the earthquake disaster, so the clinical rehabilitation care designed considering the characteristics of children should be provided immediately after acute phase of trauma to promote functional recovery.

Objective To investigate the interpersonal disturbances and its related factors among college students.Methods The field questionnaire survey was conducted among 730 college students with stratified-cluster sampling method in Zhengzhou University.The self-administered anonymous survey instruments included the Interpersonal Relationships Integrated Diagnosis Questionnaire,Parental Bonding Instrument questionnaire,Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.Results ①Detection rate of interpersonal relationship disturbance was 47.8% in 730 college students.Severe interpersonal disturbances accounted for 16.3%.The most serious problem was communication and making friends disturbance which accounted for 58.5% of the total.②)There were statistical differences of conversation scores ((2.15± 1.66),(2.53± 1.83),(2.22± 1.79)) among different major college students (medical,engineering,liberal arts) (P<0.05).A statistical difference was found in making friends((2.76±1.89),(3.18± 1.92)) and getting along with opposite gender ((2.23 ± 1.82),(1.81 ± 1.66)) between male and female (P< 0.05).There were significant differences of conversation ((2.58 ± 1.84),(2.02 ± 1.65)),making friends ((3.28 ± 1.93),(2.78 ±1.88)) and getting along with opposite gender ((2.16± 1.75),(1.77± 1.69)) between grade one and three students(P<0.05).③The interpersonal disturbances were significantly related to parental bonding styles,anxiety and sleep quality.④The results of logistic regression showed that anxiety was the main risk factor (B =1.42,OR=4.4,95% CI =1.74-9.86,P<0.01) and maternal parenting style and sleep quality were protective factors(P<0.01)of interpersonal disturbances.Conclusion The interpersonal disturbance,which are severe and affected by multiple factors in college students,should be paid attention by school,society and family to improve their learning and growing environment in order to promote their physical and mental health.
