Background It has been proved that as an important adhesion protein of extracellular matrix,osteopontion (OPN) can affect tumor neovascularization.Some new researches showed that anti-OPN antibody plays a role in regulating the neovascular vessel formation.Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) has the same structure with tumor neovascularization,but whether anti-OPN antibody restricts new vessel formation is unclear.Objective This study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of anti-OPN antibody on CNV.Methods Laser-induced CNV models were created in 40 eyes of 40 male SPF C57BL/6J mice by Argon laser photocoagulation of retinas,with the wavelength 514 nm.Thirty-six successful models were randomly divided into anti-OPN antibody group,mouse-IgG group and PBS group by the randomized number table.On the second day after photocoagulation,anti-OPN antibody of 400 μg was intraperitoneally injected in the anti-OPN antibody group,and the equivalent amount of mouse IgG and PBS were used in the same way in the mouse IgG group and PBS group.The CNV was evaluated by fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) on the seventh days after photocoagulation.The mice were immediately sacrificed and the eyeballs were enucleated on the fourteenth day after photocoagulation,and 4 eyeballs in each group were used to observe the areas of CNV on the retinal pigmental epithelium-choroid-sclera fiat mounts,and the other 8 eyeballs of each groups were used to analyze the expression levels of OPN mRNA and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) mRNA using quantitative fluorescence-PCR (QF-PCR).Results FFA showed fluorescein leakage areas around laser spots 7 days after photocoagulation,indicating that CNV appeared.The CNV areas were ([16.98±0.70] × 103) μm2,([27.13 ± 0.81] × 103) μm2 and ([35.39±2.14] ×103) μm2 respectively in the anti-OPN antibody group,mouse IgG group and PBS group,with a significant difference among the 3 groups (F =533.76,P =0.00),and the CNV area was significantly smaller in the anti-OPN antibody group compared with those of the mouse IgG group and PBS group (q =-3.95,-4.40,both at P<0.05).No significant difference was found in the OPN mRNA expression between the antiOPN antibody group and mouse IgG group (t =-5.26,P =0.66).However,the expression of VEGF mRNA in choroidal tissue was significantly declined in the anti-OPN antibody group than that in the mouse IgG group (t =-6.74,P<0.01).Conclusions Anti-OPN antibody suppresses the formation of CNV in laser-induced mouse model by down-regulating VEGF.

In the presence of hydrochloric acid, tetraethoxysilicane was hydrolyzed and formed silica sol. Non-labeled immunosensor was fabricated by droping the mixture solution of the silica sol and antibody of aflatoxin B_1 on the surface of glassy carbon electrode. In this work, a Fe(CN)_6~(3-/4-) phosphate buffer solution) was employed as base solution for investigating cyclic voltammetry(CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic(EIS) performances of the sensor, respectively. The experimental results t indicated that because of the complex formed by the immunoreaction hindered the diffusion of Fe(CN)_6~(3-/4-) on the electrode surface, the redox peak current of the immunosensor in CV obviously decreased, and its electron transfer impedance linearly) increased with increasing the concentration of aflantoxin B_1(AFB). When the medium acidit and incubation) time were pH 6.5 and 20 min, respectively, the biggest electron transfer impedance changed value before and after the immunoreaction was obtained. Under the optimal conditions, a linear range to concentration of aflatoxin B_1 was 1-10 μg/L with a detection limit of 0.1 μg/L(S/N=3). Proposed method is of high sensitivity and stability, it has been successfully applied to determine AFB_1 in maize, rice and peanut.

Objective To study the correlation between 5-serotonin transporter ( 5-HTT) gene pol-ymorphism and the first episode major depressive disorder ( MDD ) and cognitive function in adolescent. Methods 5-HTT genotype and allele were detected by polymerase chain reaction ( PCR) amplification of 76 patients with first episode of MDD and 73 normal controls. Case control method was used to analyze the correlation between different genotypes and the onset, the clinical features, and cognitive function. Result-s There was no significant difference between 5-HTTLPR genotype frequencies for the 41 cases of type S/S (53.9%),27 cases of type L/S(35.5%),8 cases of type L/L(10.5%)of case group and 5-HTTLPR geno-type frequencies for the 38 cases of type S/S(52.1%),18 cases of type L/S(24.7%),17 cases of type L/L (23.3%) of control group(P>0.05).Patients with S/S type,L/S type had significantly higher sleep scores than those of patients with type L/L(P=0.005,P=0.001). Agitation score in patients with S/S type group was significantly higher than that in patients with S/L,L/L(P=0.000,P=0.001);patients with S/S inferior-ity scores were significantly lower than those of patients with S/L,L/L(P=0.002,P=0.006). There was no significant difference in cognitive function among three groups. Conclusions In Chinese Han population, there may be no direct association between 5-HTTLPR gene polymorphism and susceptibility to MDD and its cognitive function in adolescents. S/S and L/S patients may be prone to sleep problems,type S/S patients may be prone to irritability and type L/L patients may be prone to inferiority.

Objective:To investigate the effects of epidural spinal cord stimulation (ESCS) and treadmill training on the locomotion function and ultrastructure of spinal cord anterior horn after moderate spinal cord injury in rats. (IT, n=3). All rats received a moderate spinal cord injury surgery. Four weeks after surgery, rats in SE group received an electrode implantation procedure, with the electrode field covering spinal cord segments L2-S1. Four weeks after electrode implantation, rats received subthreshold ESCS for 30 min/d. Rats in TY group received 4cm/s treadmill training for 30min/d. Rats in SI group received no intervention, as a control group. All procedures in these three groups lasted four weeks.The open field Basso,Beattie and Bresnahan (BBB) scale was used before and after intervention to evaluate rats' hindlimb motor function. Result:After four weeks intervention, rats in TT group improved their open field locomotion scores to 20. In contrast, no significant improvement was observed in groups SI and SE. The morphology of synapses and neurons were similar regardless of whether rats had undergone ESCS, treadmill training or not. Conclusion:ESCS alone was not sufficient to improve the walking ability of spinal cord injured rats. ESCS or treadmill training alone might not contribute to the changes of ultrastructure in anterior horn of spinal cord that underlie the recovery of walking ability. Further research is needed to understand the contributions of combination of ESCS and treadmill training to the rehabilitation of spinal cord injured rats.
