Objective To investigate the effect of reduced glutathione(rGSH)on the retina and optic nerve in rats with experimental optic neuritis,and the underlying mechanism.Methods Animal model of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis(EAE),which was as used for acute demyelinating optic neuritis were established in 48 female SD rats,and then the rats were randomly divided into EAE group(n=18)and GSH group(n=30).Another 6 female SD rats served as normal control.Rats of GSH group received an intraperitoneal injection of 100 mg?kg-1?d-1 GSH for 14 d from the beginning of immunization,while the rats of EAE group were given saline alternatively.To observe pathological changes in the optic nerve,retinal ganglion cells(RGCs)apoptosis,and measure malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX),nitric oxide(NO)levels in the retina were observed and measured in the early period,peak period and recovery period(12 to 14 d,16 to 18 d,or 26 to 28 d after the immunization)of the neuritis.Results There were 18 rats(60%)from GSH group having the disease with a symptom score of 1 to 3.Compared with those of EAE group,their optic nerve fibers were in a comparatively good order,and more glial cells and not obvious demyelination were observed in morphology;Significant lesser apoptotic RGCs were observed in GSH group than in EAE group at the early and peak period(P

Objective To study the effect of curcumin ointment on scar formation in filtering blebs after trabeculectomy in rabbits. Methods Twenty-seven rabbits( 27 eyes) were randomly divided into control group,and matrix( placebo) group,and curcumin group,9 in each group. Trabeculectomy for right eyes was performed on all rabbits. Eyes in control group were not treated with any drug,eyes in matrix group were smeared with 0. 1 g common eye ointment ( 3 times a day) ,and eyes in curcumin group were smeared with 0. 1 g curcumin eye ointment ( 3 times a day). Then,intraocular pressure ( IOP) ,filtering blebs,inflammatory cells,collagen,fibroblasts and myofibroblasts were detected by immunohistochemical staining. Results No significant difference was observed in IOP among the 3 groups before and 1,3,28 d after operation. However,a significant difference was found in IOP among the 3 groups in 7,14 and 21 d after operation ( P

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effect of Zingiber officinale extract on retinal ischemia-reperfusion (RIR) injury in rats. METHODS: 45 SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group, model group and Z.officinale extract group (400 mg?kg-1).RIR models were induced by infusing normal saline into anterior chambers for l hour. During five days before modeling,Z.officinale extract group were oral administration of Z.officinale extract two times per day by i.g. and model group distilled water. The medication regime remained after modeling. The activity of SOD and the content of malonyldialdehyde(MDA) and NO in retina were measured at 12 h,24 h,48 h and 72 h after modeling. The retinal ultrastructural changes were detected under the electron microscope. RESULTS: Compared with model group, in high-dose of Z.officinale extract group Z.officinale extract could strengthen the activity of SOD, reduce the levels of MDA and NO(P

Idiopathic optic neuritis (ION) is a common disorder in neuro-ophthalmology. It harms vision function seriously. However, there are a lots of controversy and confusion about its etiology, etiopathogenesis and outcome of treatments. Recently, potassium channel, such as stichodactyla helianthus peptide (ShK) and TRAM-34, was found to be involved in the immunopathogenesis of ION, and regulation of potassium channel provide a novel immunomodulatory therapy for ION. This paper reviewed the research advance of potassium channel in ION. It is expected to further clarify the pathogenesis and search for effective treatment.

BACKGROUND:Disequilibrium of proportion of adipogenesis and osteogenesis from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)is associated with many bone diseases.However,it has been demonstrated that Wnt signaling pathway could play an important role in regulation of BMSC differentiation.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the different gene expression profiles and to find the target gene on Wnt signaling pathway of the BMSCs,after being induced to osteoblasts and adipocytes respectively using Wnt signaling pathway PCR array.METHODS:The third-passage BMSCs,after being induced to osteoblasts and adipocytes respectively for 7 days.The total mRNA of MSCs was extracted by Trizol.BMSC morphology was observed following osteogenic and adipogenic induction under an inverted microscope.Gene array was detected by rat Wnt signaling pathway PCR array.Non-induction group served as controls.The ratio of increase/reduction gene of osteoblasts and adipocytes was calculated.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under an inverted microscope,BMSCs with high homogenicity were obtained following passage 3.BMSCs differentiated into osteoblasts following osteogenic induction,and into adipocytes following adipogenic induction.Compared with non-induction group,fifteen genes(Dkk1,kremen,FZD1,FZD7,et al.)were expressed up-regulated(ratio ＞ 2)and 16(sFrp 5,β-catenin,Dvl3,Tcf7,et al.)genes down-regulated(ratio ＜ 0.5)when the third-passage BMSCs were induced to adipocytes.Six genes(Dkk1,kremen,β-catenin,Wnt11,et al.)were expressed up-regulated and 15 genes(sFrp5,sFRP4,Fzd1,et al.)down-regulated when BMSCs being induced to osteoblasts.Above-mentioned results suggested that Wnt signaling pathway plays an important role in the osteoblast and adipocyte differentiation from BMSCs.

Objective To explore the expressions of Dectin-1 and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)and the secretory charateristics of inflammatory factors of the Aspergillus fumigatus infected cornea of the rats,and to clarify theirs role in the pathogenesis of rat keratitis.Methods 40 SD rats were separated into control group (n = 10)and aspergillus keratitis group (n=30).The rats in aspergillus keratitis group were infected by Aspergillus fumigatus in two eyes for 12,24 and 48 h,and the cornea tissue was took and ELISA kit was used to detect the level of inflammatory cytokines IL-1,TNF-a,IL- 6,IL-10,and NF-κB;immunohistochemistry,Western blotting and RT-PCR methods were used to determine the Dectin-1 and TLR4 protein and mRNA expressions.Results The rat models were successfully established.The eyes of the rats in control group were limpid tested by corneal slit lamp, however,there existed a clear boundary film on the surface of eyes of the rats in aspergillus keratitis group infected for 12 h,white infiltrates and bloodshot in the eyes in 24 h group and the white infiltrates were further strengthened and almost covered the entire eyes in 48 h group. The order of inflammatory cytokines IL-1,TNF-α,IL-6,IL-10, NF-κB was:48 h group> 24 h group> 12 h group> control group (P < 0.05),so did the expression levels of Dectin-1 and TLR4 protein and mRNA in various groups tested by Western blotting and RT-PCR methods.The expression levels of Dectin-1 and TLR4 were increased with the prolongation of time investigated by immunohistochemical staining.Conclusion Dectin-1 and TLR4 are secreted in excess after the eyes are infected with fumigatus,which promotes the expressions of related inflammatory cytokines and results in the occurrence of keratitis.

[Summary] A total of 108 cases of endoscopic thyroidectomy via thoracic approach were conducted in our department between January 2012 and January 2015.The comfortable nursing was applied during the operation.The patients’ body position was adjusted properly according to requirements of the operation at different periods of pre-operation, intra-operation and post operation.No complications due to nursing mistakes or improper position occurred in the 108 patients. Follow-up checkups on the second postoperative day found 2 patients with vomiting.According to the Wong-Banker Faces Pain Scale to evaluate the head and back pain, there were 46 cases of 0 point, 51 cases of 1 point, 11 cases of 2 points.We got the conclusion that the application of comfortable nursing for proper position of patient not only reflects the nursing principle of Patients First, but also improves the entire quality of nursing services.
