Background Allograft rejection is a main cause of failure of penetrating keratoplasty,especially in the patient with high risk of rejection condition.Previous study on allograft rejection mechanism focused on limbal and corneal neovascularization,but these factors did not explain all the phenomena of allograft rejection.Research found that immune cells appeared in iris and ciliary body when rejection occurred,but the relationship between these immune cells and allograft rejection is unclear Objective This study was to evaluate the relationship between diversity of vascular permeability in the iris and ciliary body and allograft rejection after penetrating keratoplasty.Methods Seventy clean eight-week-old BALB/c mice were divided into allogeneic corneal transplantation group (60 mice) and blank control group (10 mice).Allogeneic corneal transplantation was performed with the same age of C57BL/6 mice as donor and BALB/c mice as the recipients.The grafts were examined under the slit lamp microscope and scored based on the criteria of Hegde.The mice were sacrificed and iris and ciliary tissue were obtained 5,10 days and rejection after surgery.Immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) was used respectively to detect the expression diversities of occludin,zonula occludens protein-1 (ZO-1),matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9),major histocompatibility complex-Ⅱ (MHC-Ⅱ),and CCR5,CCR7 and their mRNA in iris and ciliary body.Image-J image analysis software was used to calculate the quantity of positive cells on iris wholemount,and absorbance of target genes (A values).The use and care of the experimental animals complied the ARVO Resolution on the Use of Animals in Research.Results The mean survival time of corneal gratts was (17±3) days after operation.The mean score was 0.6 in 5 days and 0.5 in 10 days,and 3.3 in 18 days after operation.Expression of ZO-1 reduced significantly,and that of MMP-9 increased obviously at the time of rejection.MHC Ⅱ + cells were scattered in iris and ciliary body in normal mice,and the number of the positive cells (cells/field) was increased after operation with a peak value when rejection occurred.A significant difference was seen between normal mice and rejection mice (1559.67±350.29 vs.4021.83±495.18) (P=0.000).The expressions of occludin mRNA and ZO-1 mRNA in the iris and ciliary body decreased obviously in the rejection mice.Compared with normal mice,theA value of ZO-1 and occluding were 36.74±3.13 vs.110.11±11.88 and 57.54±3.41 vs.59.90±3.50respectively,with significant differences between them (all P<0.05).The expressions of MMP-9 mRNA,CCR5 mRNA and CCR7 mRNA in the iris and ciliary body increased gradually with the time lapse after operation and peaked when the rejection appeared.The A value of MMP-9 mRNA,CCR5 mRNA and CCR7 mRNA were significantly higher than those of normal mice (20.29±1.19 vs.2.77±0.85 for MMP-9 mRNA; 35.43±2.56 vs.9.11±0.29 for CCR5 mRNA,and 60.83±0.87 vs.0.89 ±0.95 for CCR7 mRNA) respectively (all P<0.05).Conclusions The permeability of vascules in the iris and ciliary body increase during the allograft rejection after penetrating keratoplasty.Increased antigen presenting cells were also detected.

Objective:To find out whether it is accurate to estimate femoral version based on femoral broach after femoral neck osteotomy using computed tomography scans.Methods:In 32 total hip arthro-plasty (THA),we performed CT scans before and after operation.Four possible levels (lesser trochan-ter,5 mm above,10 mm above and 15 mm above the lesser trochanter)of broach version were calculated based on the pre-operative CT scan.Stem versions were measured on the post-operative CT scan.We de-termined the difference between the preoperative broach version and the postoperative stem version using the Student’s t-test for paired samples assuming equal variance.Results:For the operated hips,pre-operative hip version differed according to the level of measurement.Our findings showed that the average femoral version was 37.0°±11.0°at the level of the lesser trochanter (section 1),34.3°±10.6°at 5 mm above the lesser trochanter (section 2),28.1°±10.9°at 10 mm above the lesser trochanter (sec-tion 3),and 22.4°±13.7°at 15 mm above the lesser trochanter (section 4),and that the average ver-sion for the femoral neck (FNV)was 12.9°±13.8°.The postoperative hip version was the stem version (FSV),which we found to be an average of 26.1°±11.0°.The mean femoral version for section 1 and 2 was larger than the mean postoperative stem version (P<0.01);the mean version for sections 3 and 4 did not differ from the mean postoperative stem version (P>0.05).The mean femoral neck version was less than the mean postoperative stem version (P<0.01);the difference was 13.2°±11.1°of the in-creased anteversion on average for the FSV compared with FNV.Conclusion:The accuracy of estimated femoral version after arthroplasty depends on broach level.When it is 10 mm above the lesser trochanter, stem version estimation is accurate,but below that level,there is a tendency to overestimate.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of perinatal inflammation on the expression of proin-flammatory cytokines and DMEs (drug metabolism enzymes) in offspring mice. METHODS C57BL/6 maternal mice were administrated with single dose 100 μg·kg-1LPS(lipopolysaccharide)or saline(vehicle) during gestation (day 10 after fertilization). Offspring mice were sacrificed at 30 d after birth and liver samples were collected.Real-time PCR was adopted to test the mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines (Nrlp3 and IL-1β), nuclear receptors (Pxr and Car), and DMEs (Cyp3a11, 2b10, 1a2, and Ugt1a1).RESULTS Gender different expression of candidate genes was observed.The expression of Car,in the maternal injection of LPS groups,was significantly decreased in both female and male offspring (n=3-8/group, P<0.01). Concomitantly, a significantly lower expression of Cyp3a11 was found in both female and male offspring (P<0.01, P<0.05, respectively). Furthermore, the expression of Ugt1a1 was reduced in male offspring following maternal administration of LPS (P<0.01). In male offspring, Nrlp3 expression was specially decreased(P<0.05).Interestingly,there was an approximately 66% reduction in mRNA level of Cyp1a2 in female offspring (P<0.01), while in male offspring Cyp1a2 expression showed an increased trend (P>0.05) compared with vehicle group. The expression of Pxr, Cyp2b10, and IL-1β was no difference between LPS treatment group and vehicle group(P>0.05).CONCLUSION Maternal LPS administration affects the expression of proinflammatory cytokines, nuclear receptors and DMEs in mouse offspring.

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the long-or short-term impacts of neonatal Pxr(pregnane X receptor) agonists exposureon DMEs (drug metabolism enzymes) expression in adulthood. METHODS C57BL/6 mice(day 5,postnatal)were injected with different doses(0,50,100,150,200 mg·kg-1·d-1, constitutive 4 d)of PCN(pregnenolone-16a-carbonitrile).Mice at different ages(day 5,10,15,25,postna-tal)were administrated with 200 mg·kg-1·d-1PCN in constitutive 4 d.All mice were sacrificed at day 60 after birth. Liver samples were collected for detecting the expression of Pxr target genes. RESULTS Compared with vehicle group, the significant inductions of Cyp2b10, Cyp3a11 and Pxrwere observed in high dose groups (150, 200 mg·kg-1·d-1, 5-8 d after birth) both in male and female mice (n=4-9/group,P<0.05).Furthermore,high dose groups(200 mg·kg-1·d-1,5-8 d after birth)were found to have higher mRNA expression levels of Cyp2a4,Ugt1a1,Abcc4,and Oatpla4 in female mice,while Papss2 in male mice compared with vehicle groups (n= 4-9/group, P<0.05). Interestingly, a decreased mRNA expression of Sult2a1 was identified in 200 (5-8 d) groups (n=4-9/group, P<0.05). Consistent with these results, the protein expression of Cyp3a11 was only increased in 200 (5-8 d) groups compared with the vehicle groups(n=3/group,P<0.05).Importantly,the persistent impacts on DMEs only occurred in day 5 and day 25 treatment groups,not day 10 and day 15 groups(n=4/group).CONCLUSION Neonatal Pxr activation has a long-term effect on the expression of DMEs in C57BL/6 mice.Dose and treatment exposure time are two key factors involved in this permanent alteration procedure.

The study reports the detection of neuroprotective effect of 10 kinds of coumarin derivatives and explores their possible mechanism. MTT method was used to screen the neuroprotective effect of 10 coumarin derivatives on neurotoxic agents (Aβ25-35 and rotenone) or OGD (oxygen-glucose deprivation). A compound with better protective effect was obtained. Then the effect of this compound on neurotoxic agents on PC12 was detected by the morphological observation. Furthermore, the effect of compound 3 on microglia with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced inflammation was detected. And the inflammatory factor was tested. Finally, direct free radical scavenging ability was detected. Compound 3 was found to be the best compound through three neurons toxic models. Not only compound 3 ameliorated cell viability reduced by three neurons toxic models, but also significantly inhibited the production of inflammatory factor (TNF-α and IL-1β). And its free radical scavenging ability is very good, especially the effect on superoxide anion, which is comparable with vitamin C. The significant scavenging effect of compound 3 on superoxide anion might be the mechanism of the neuroprotection. Compound 3 as a potential neural cell protective agent merits further investigation.
