1.Treatment of acute retinal necrosis syndrome
International Eye Science 2015;(5):813-816
?Acute retinal necrosis syndrome ( ARN) is a serious eye disease, which caused by Herpes virus mostly, with unknown pathogenesis. Because of the aggressive progression, treatment of ARN is difficult, and the blindness rate is extremely high. Current treatment strategies are the combination of the drug therapy and the operative treatment. Drugs commonly used are antiviral drugs, glucocorticoids, and antiplatelet drugs, and the operative treatment includes laser photocoagulation and vitrectomy.

Objective To establish musculoskeletal model and finite element model of kidney and blood stasis type knee osteoarthritis (KOA),and to analyze the cartilage stress characteristics of kidney and blood stasis type KOA.Methods Data from knee CT,MRI of kidney and blood stasis type KOA volunteers was used to construct musculoskeletal model and finite element model based on AnyBody and ANSYS software.Surface electromyogram (sEMG) verification and mutual verification were conducted.KOA bone stress and strain parameters were observed at the moving angles of 0°,-40°,-90°,-180° of the KOA musculoskeletal model,in order to explore the cartilage stress characteristics.Results When the positions of kidney and blood stasis type KOA patients varied from standing to squatting,the knee cartilage surface stress revealed a nonlinear increasing trend.Kidney and blood stasis KOA patient's knee cartilage stress near the distal end was significant different from that of normal subjects (P<0.05),while the KOA patient's knee cartilage stress near the distal end and proximal front side had no significant differences with that of normal subjects (P>0.05).Conclusions For kidney and blood stasis type of patients with KOA,cartilage surface stress displays a nonlinear increasing trend along with the stress concentration at the motion cartilage surface,which is consistent with the clinical features.

Excess energy has become a main reason for increasingly serious human health hazards. Excess energy, mainly ectopically deposits in the liver, pancreas and other organs in the form of triglycerides, and produces chronic oxidative, nitrosative stress (ONS) , and fat toxicity, resulting in insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion, and further impaired glucose regulation (Pidan). By combining Chinese medical pathogeneses and symptoms analyses, authors found this process has features of Gan disease transferring to Pi. Based on a number of related guidelines and clinical practice, we demonstrated treating sputum and stasis by the same method was one treatment method for intervening liver disease transferring to spleen in metabolic diseases. This idea helps to organic integrating prevention and treatment of major metabolic diseases including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus, which can improve clinical effectiveness and efficiency of Chinese medicine.

High-fat diet-induced insulin resistance rat model was assessed by euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp technique.Compared with the control group,the vaspin mRNA expression in adipose tissue was significantly decreased in insulin resistant rats induced by high-fat diet( P<0.05 ),which was increased by metformin( P<0.05 ).These data indicate that metformin may ameliorate insulin resistance in rats via upregulating vaspin mRNA expression.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the ultra-filtration and the resistance to pollution of5ultra-filtrated membrane in respect of each of the compositions from the Isatis indigotica Fort.water-extraction,in order to produce the Isatis indigotica Fort.-preparation through ultra-filtrated method instead of ethanol-sedimentary method.METHODS:By measuring the quantities of the solid residue and the contents of polysaccharide,arginine and chloroform extraction in the ethanol-sedi?mentary solution and ultra-filtrated solution by gravimetry,TLC-scan and HPLC respectively.RESULTS:The solid residue in the ultra-filtered solution was lower than that in the ethanol-sedimentary solution;The content of polysaccharide in the ultra-filtered solution with polypropylene nitrile membrane and polysulfone-6000membrane were close to that in the ethanol-sedimentary solution.The arginine in the ultra-filtered solution was higher than that in the ethanol-sedimentary solution,but the chloroform extraction in the ultra-filtered solution was lower than that in ethanol-sedimentary solution;The resistance to pollution of polysulfone membrane was the strongest in these ultra-filtrated membrane.CONCLUSION:According to the requirement for isolation of active components,ultra-filtrated method with polysulfone-50000membrane could be used instead of ethanol-sedimentary method for efficient and economical application.

Objective To study the feasibility of microsurgical technique to denervate sympathetic of femoral artery in rabbit, providing a reliable animal experimental model for further study of the mechanism of neuralization in bone tissue engineering.Methods From July, 2014 to July, 2015, 21 New Zealand white rabbits were divided into 4 groups randomly: the control group (n =3), the 4 weeks group (n =6), the 8 weeks group (n =6) and the 12 weeks group (n =6).Bilateral femoral arteries of the 21 rabbits were exposed.Adventitia of femoral arteries in 3 test groups were removed for about 2cm by microsurgical technique, whereas adventitia of the control group remained intact without any treatment.The arteries samples were collected at 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment.The structure of vascular were indicated by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and the distribution and volume of the sympathetic fibers were evidenced by glyoxylic acid staining and the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), the marked protein of sympathetic.Results The adventitia of 3 test groups were invisible or lost most of it while the control group remained intact shown by HE staining.For glyoxylic acid staining, the fluorescence intensity value of the control group, 4 weeks group, 8 weeks and 12 weeks were 0.08124 ± 0.00260, 0.02920 ± 0.00206, 0.02661 ± 0.00233, 0.03094 ± 0.00211, respectively (n =6).The distribution and fluorescence intensity of sympathetic nerve were both significantly reduced in test groups compared to the control group (P < 0.05).And there was no statistical difference among the 3 test groups (P > 0.05).Semi-quantitative analysis of the expression of TH was 0.8626 ± 0.03519, 0.3631 ± 0.03019, 0.3964 ± 0.02239, 0.3487 ± 0.02356 respectively, which showed the same tendency as glyoxylic acid staining test.Conclusion Microsurgical technique is promising as an ideal method for the local denervation of sympathetic nerve from artery system as it can significantly reduce sympathetic fibers on adventitia without regeneration during the experimental period.

MicroRNAs(miRNAs)are a group of non-coding RNA molecules having modulating function,and as a post transcriptional modulating factor is involved in the modulation of expression of eukaryotic genes. Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is a chronic non-specific intestinal inflammatory disease and its etiology has not yet been fully clarified. Recent studies have shown that circulating miRNAs were specifically expressed in patients with IBD. This article reviewed the advances in studies on circulating miRNAs and IBD.

BACKGROUND:There are many researches on the finite element analysis of total hip arthroplasty, but the biomechanical distribution after hip surface replacement is little reported.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the biomechanical characteristics after hip surface replacement based on three- dimensional finite element analysis.METHODS: The three-dimensional finite element model after metal-to-metal hip surface replacement was established.The load of 350 N paralleling to the gravity line was loaded on the acetabulum. The stress distribution of the prosthesis and femur and the stress of the different regions of the femoral head were observed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The stress value of the acetabular cup was significantly higher than that of the acetabular body ((0.63± 0.34) vs. (1.89±0.67) MPa, P < 0.05). (2) The stress was concentrated on the femoral neck. The femoral head and femoral neck junction appeared with stress occlusion. The stress around the femoral prosthesis stem was (158.24±28.79) MPa, and the stress value of the femoral prosthesis stem was (186.46±22.37) MPa, showing no significant difference (P > 0.05). (3) The stress value showed significant difference among femoral head regions (P <0.05), and the stress of the regions 6 and 8 was significantly higher than that of the other regions (P < 0.05). (4) These results show that after metal-to-metal hip surface replacement, femoral neck stress is concentrated, the stress of the femoral prosthesis is occluded, and the stress at the medial femoral neck as well as the junction of femoral neck prosthesis and bone is larger.
