Retinopathy of premature is characterized by retinal vascular dysplasia,angiogenesis,fiber proliferation and retinal detachment,which can lead to a variety of serious complications,including permanent blindness.Angiopoietin-1,which has a close relationship with the incidence of ROP,is an important factor affecting angiogenesis.This paper will discuss the relations between angiopoietin-1 and retinopathy of premature.

Stem cell therapy for retinal disease is under way,and several clinical trials are currently recruiting. These trials use human umbilical cord tissue-derived stem cells and bone marrow-derived stem cells to treat visual dis-orders such as age-related macular degeneration,and retinitis pigmentosa. Mesenchymal stem cells( bone marrow mes-enchymal stem cells,BMSCs) belong to adult pluripotent stem cells,capable of unlimited self-renewal,have the poten-tial multi-directional differentiation,and more recent researches,mainly through such cells can differentiation into reti-nal characteristics and morphology similar to or the same structural characteristics of functional impairment, which is widely used in the treatment of retinal diseases. In recent years′researches,whether in the vivo or in vitro experiments, BMSCs have the potential to differentiate into nerve cells offering the selectivity of treatment in retinal injury and disea-ses. So,this view discussed the biological characteristics of BMSCs and bone marrow in the mechanism of action of reti-nopathy,relevant treatment.

Although dyslipidemia is common in the patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing dialysis, it is still controver-sial in the efficacy and safety of lipid-modulating agents used in the patients. In this paper, current large-scale randomized controlled trials and observational studies were reviewed, and the influence and characteristics of dyslipidemia as well as the application of com-mon lipid-modulating agents in dialysis patients were summarized. The current clinical evidence suggested that the use of statins with or without ezetimibe could effectively reduce the level of blood lipid in dialysis patients without increased risk of adverse events, while it had limited role in cardiovascular protection;fibrates had higher risks in dialysis patients; nicotinic acids had limited use mainly be-cause of their unbearable side effects.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of long-term oxygen exposure on the pulmonary microvascular development and the expression of Ephrin-B2 of lungt issue in neonatal mice.MethodsForty-eight 2-day-old Kunming mice were randomly divided into hyperoxia group and air group, with 24 mice in each group. Mice in hyperoxia group were exposed to 70% oxygen to establish a model of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Six mice from each group were sacrificed at 3, 7, 14 and 21 days of age, and lung tissue was collected for further test. The lung sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for histological evaluation, radial alveolar counts (RAC) and microvessel density (MVD) measurement by CD34 immunohistochemistry. Location and expression of Ephrin-B2 in lung tissue were measured by immunohistochemistry. Ephrin-B2 mRNA and protein levels were detected by fluorescent quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot, respectively. Two independent samplest-test was used for statistical analysis. Results(1) Pathological changes: The pathology of lung tissue in hyperoxia group showed typical BPD-like changes with advancing postnatal age, presenting mainly with simplified alveolar development and decreased microvessel number. Compared with the air group, RAC and MVD were significantly decreased in 14-day-old mice (6.067±0.432 vs 6.950±0.243,t=4.365,P<0.05; 4.133±0.476 vs 4.867±0.472,t=2.680,P<0.01) and 21-day-old mice in the hyperoxia group (8.050±0.362 vs 9.817±0.487,t=7.127,P<0.05; 4.333±0.532 vs 6.017±0.937,t=3.828,P<0.01). (2) Location and expression of Ephrin-B2: Ephrin-B2 was mainly expressed in alveolar epithelial cells, and weakly expressed in alveolar septum. Compared with the air group, the average optical density of Ephrin-B2 was significantly decreased in 7-day-old (0.146±0.013 vs 0.153±0.009), 14-day-old (0.140±0.007 vs 0.161±0.006) and 21-day-old mice in the hyperoxia group (0.138±0.008 vs 0.166±0.009)(t=-2.049,-9.442 and-10.087, allP<0.05). (3) Ephrin-B2 mRNA and protein levels: The Ephrin-B2 mRNA levels in 14-day-old (0.65±0.14 vs 1.05±0.16,t=4.609,P<0.01) and 21-day-old mice (0.57±0.09 vs 1.13±0.18,t=6.816,P<0.01) were significantly lower in hyperoxia group than in the air group. The Ephrin-B2 protein levels were also significantly lower in hyperoxia group than in the air group in 21-day-old mice (0.13±0.03 vs 0.29±0.08,t=4.587,P=0.000).ConclusionsOxygen-induced BPD model mice have simplified alveolar development, reduced MVD and decreased expression of Ephrin-B2 in lung tissue, which may play an important role in the pathogenesis of BPD.

Objective:To explore the role CD4+CD45RO+memory T cells in the pathogenesis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) by detecting the percentages of CD4+CD45RO+ memory T cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in peripheral blood of newly diagnosed HT patients. Methods:53HT patients and 43 matched healthy controls (HC) were included in this study. According to the thyroid functions,HT patients were divided into euthyroid subset(HT-A,n =15) ,subclinical hypothyroidism(HT-B,n=14) and overt hypothyroidism subset (HT-C,n=24). The percentages of CD4+CD45RO+memory T cells in PBMCs,as well as the level of serum IFN-γ and IL-17,and thyroid functions,and the titers of thyroid-specific autoantibodies (TPOAb,TgAb) were respectively detected by flow cytometry,ELISA,and ECLIA. Results:The percentages of CD4+CD45RO+ memory T cells in PBMCs,as well as the level of serum IFN-γ and IL-17,the titers of TPOAb,TgAb were all significantly higher than that in HC(P<0. 01). Bivariate correlation revealed that the percentages of CD4+CD45RO+ memory T cells positively correlated with the level of serum IFN-γ,TPOAb and TgAb(P<0. 01,P=0. 015,P<0. 01) in HT patients. Conclusion:The significant increase of CD4+CD45RO+memory T cells in peripheral blood of patients with HT suggested a role of CD4+CD45RO+ memory T cells in the pathogenesis of this disease.

micmRNA (miRNA) plays an important role in biological processes via regulating gene expression in the level of posttranscription.Increasing number of studies reveal that miR-375 is downregulated in digestive system tumors, and is related to tumorigenesis.Overexpression of miR-375 can inhibit growth and metastasis of tumors through repressing the expression of target genes.

An HPLC method has been developed to determine polydatin in giant knotweed rhizome. In order to systematically validate the method, specificity, precision, linearity of reference solution and test solution, repeatability, reproducibility, accuracy, stability and robustness were measured. In the robustness test, a one-variable-at-a-time procedure was applied to evaluate the influence of slight variations in method factors, including the flow rate, the column temperature, the extraction time, and etc., on the assay result of polydatin. No significant differences were found when the process parameters changed during the experimental domain. And system suitability test limits were defined based on the robustness test. Results showed that the developed method was accurate, reproducible and robust.
