AIM: To evaluate cell proliferation, apoptosis and migration of human retinal pigment epithelial cells ( RPE) when co - cultured with human marrow mesenchymal stem cells ( hMSCs ) in condition of hypoxia and hyperglycemia so as to explore possible mechanisms of diabetes aggravating choroidal neovascularization ( CNV) preliminarily.
METHODS:Both hMSCs and RPE cells were co-cultured in a transwell system. The experiment was divided into four groups: 21% O2 with 5. 56mmol/L glucose ( control group, A ), 21% O2 with 30mmol/L glucose ( hyperglycemia and normoxia group, B ) , 5% O2 with 5.56mmol/L glucose ( normoglycemia and hypoxia group, C ) and 5% O2 with 30mmol/L glucose ( hyperglycemia and hypoxia group, D) . Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to detect the proliferation of RPE cells in each group at 12, 24 and 48h respectively. Flow cytometry was performed to observe apoptosis of RPE cells at 24h. Additionally, we assessed migration
capabilities of RPE via transwell assay under the condition of hyperglycemia and hypoxia by co-culturing of hMSCs.RESULTS:In this co-culturing system, at 12, 24 and 48h, group B (1. 61±0. 41, 1. 80±0. 34;1. 91±0. 35), C (1.34±0. 46, 1. 94±0. 40, 2. 14±0. 41) and D (1. 98±0. 47, 2.26±0.42, 2. 55±0. 40) showed significantly higher proliferation rate than group A (0. 92±0. 45, 1. 27±0. 32, 1.59±0. 41, P<0. 05). The migration capabilities of RPE in group B (149. 5±9. 19), C (140±9. 90) and D (170. 5±7. 78) increased dramatically compared with group A ( 114. 5±7.78, P<0.05) at 24h, whereas there was no significant difference of apoptosis ratio among four groups (P>0. 05).
CONCLUSION:By coexistence with hMSCs, the synergy of hyperglycemia and hypoxia can improve migration and proliferation of RPE cells, and have no effect on apoptosis of RPE cells within short period.

Biotransformation of bioactive natural leading compounds is a kind of bioprocess in which the structure of the added bioactive natural leading compounds could be modified by biocatalysts(e.g.,enzyme,microbial,plant and animal cells) in order to produce high efficient and low toxicity compounds.The biotransformation purpose of the known bioactive natural leading compounds is to improve its efficiency,or reduce its toxicity,or improve its solubility and bioavailability.The trace and high-valued bioactive natural leading compounds also could be produced by the biotransformation,and the biotransformation of bioactive natural leading compounds is still helpful to study the mechanism of drug metabolism.The current focus of the biotransformation of bioactive natural leading compounds is on the compounds of steroid,quinine,flavone and terpene,and some important biotransformation process has been successfully screened out.Fundamental research should be done in the following fields,such as the biotransformation mechanism of bioactive natural leading compounds,biotransformation process engineering,and the efficiency evaluation of bioproducts produced by biotransformation.The latest biotechnology(e.g.,directed evolution of biocatalyst,combinatorial biotransformation,non-aqueous biotransformation,high throughput screening) should be introduced to the biotransformation of bioactive natural leading compounds,which will boost its fast development.

Absract: Objective To report the result of annual monitoring and analysis of nasopharyngeal virus in children with respiratory tract infections in Nanxiang, Shanghai District. Methods Nasopharyngeal secretions were collected from 4389 children with acute respiratory tract infection in outpatient department from January 2007 to September 2013, 9 common respiratory viruses were analyzed by Multiplex RT-PCR, including inlfuenza virus (FLU), parainlfuenza virus (PIV), respiratory syncytical virus (RSV) , adenovirus (ADV), human bocavirus(HBOV), human coronavirus(Cov), enterovirus(EV), human metapneumovirus(HMPV), and rhinovirus(HRV). The same analysis was done in 123 asymptomatic children during the same period. Results The positive rate of detected respiratory viruses in children with respiratory tract infections in nasopharyngeal secretions were 34.8% (1526/4389), including FLU 10.3% (453/4389), RSV 7.3% (320/4389), PIV 6.2%(274/4389), ADV 3.3%(146/4389), HBOV 2.7%(118/4389), EV 2.5%(110/4389), Cov 2.4%(105/4389), HRV 1.6%(72/4389), HMPV 1.5%(67/4389);two and more combined respiratory viral infection were found in 273 cases (6.2%). The virus detection
rate between age groups was signiifcantly different (χ2=41.91, P<0.001). The school-age group had the lowest positive rate of 23.4%and the positive rates in other three groups were all higher than 35.0%. The infant group had the higher positive rate of RSV and HRV. FLU detection rate in school-age group was 13.6%. Respiratory viruses in children with asthmatic disease has high detection rate. RSV infection rate was the highest 14.8%(30/204) in the asthmatic disease group, followed by HBOV 13.8% (28/204). In nasopharyngeal secretions of 123 asymptomatic children, virus-positive detection rate of 6.5% (8/123), which showed signiifcant difference from that in respiratory virus infection group (χ2=42.60, P<0.001). Conclusions In seven consecutive years of testing, the inlfuenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus play an important role in children with respiratory tract infections in this region. The detection rate of virus showed difference between different age groups and a higher detection rate of RSV in infants with respiratory tract infections was observed. The overall detection rate of virus was decreased with the increase of age excluding the inlfuenza virus.

Objective To observe the changes of Th1 / Th2 inflammatory factors in the aqueous humor of tree shrews with fusarium solani keratitis,as well as to explore the relationship between Thl / Th2 inflammatory factors and inflammatory response in fusarium solani keratitis.Methods Forty healthy tree shrews were randomly divided into experimental group(n =30) and control group (n =10).Fusarium solani was inoculated into sabina culture medium and cultured at 26 ℃ for 7 days,and then the fungal suspension was collected and the density of spores was adjusted to 10 × 109 CFU · mL-1.In the experimental group,50 μL fungal spore suspension was injected into the center of the cornea stroma,while the control group received the same amount of saline.Next the levels of cytokines including interleukin (IL)-1 β,IL-6,IL-4 and IL-10 were analyzed by flow cytometry on day 3,day 7,day 14 after successful modeling,and the changes in types of infiltrating cells were observed by histopathological examination.Results The expression level of IL-1 β and IL-6 (Th1 type cytokines) was the highest on day 7,and the difference was statistically significant at each time point when compared with the control group (all P ＜ 0.05).The expression level of IL-10 (Th2 type cytokines) was the highest on day 14,and the difference was statistically significant at each time point when compared with the control group (all P ＜ 0.05).The difference in IL-4 expression was statistically significant on day 7 (P ＜ 0.05).In addition,histopathological examination showed that the number of infiltration cell reached its peak on day 7,mainly neutrophils,and fungal hyphae were observed to be parallel to the matrix fibers at each time point.Conclusion The proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6 and the anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 may play an important role in the molecular mechanism of inflammatory response of fusarium solani keratitis in tree shrews.

Objective To detect and analyze the mutation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3(FGFR3) gene among a family with congenital achondroplasia(ACH).Methods Six blood samples of family member in this pedigree were cellected according to the informed consent process for genetic research,and 2 unralted healthy human blood sample were taken as controls.The mutation at nucleotide position 1 138 on FGFR3 gene was detected by using Polymerase chain reaction and single-strand conformation polymorphism(PCR-SSCP)and polyme-rase chain reaction and restriction endonuclease technology(PCR-RFLP) methods.Results Using PCR-SSCP method firstly,only the proband with ACH and his father in this family had the same abnormal band.The amplified products including 1 138 loci on FGFR3 gene further was analyzed by Sfe Ⅰ digestion,3 fragments including 164 bp,109 bp and 55 bp were detected in the proband and his father again,and the other members in the family and 2 controls just showed 164 bp band.It indicated that just 2 patients (proband and his father) showed heterozygous G→A transition mutation at nucleotide position 1 138 on the FGFR3 gene.The amplified products at 1 138 loci was also detected by MspⅠ digestion,just 1 band was observed in all members in this family and 2 controls.It showed that there was no G→C substitution at nucleotide position 1 138.Conclusions The G→A transition mutation at nucleotide position 1 138 in transmembrane domain of FGFR3 gene may be the main cause of achondroplasia in this family.In this pedigree,the proband showed's father a de novo mutation which was transferred to his child again.
