Background Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is one of the major causes of retinal detachment surgery failure.Based on proteomic studies of PVR vitreous,the insulin-like growth factor binding protein-6 (IGFBP-6) protein was specifically expressed in the vitreous and serum of PVR patients.Furthermore,its expression level is higher in the vitreous and serum in severe PVR patients than that in mild PVR patients.Objective This experiment was to detect the expression of IGFBP-6 in a PVR rat model.Methods Seventy 7-week old male SPF Wistar rats were included and were randomized into the PVR model group and control group.A mixture of RPE-J cell suspension(5 μl) and platelet-rich plasma (5 μl) was intravitreally injected in the left eyes of adult Wistar rats to establish the PVR model,and normal saline solution was administered in the same way in the control group.The rat eyes were clinically examined 1 week,2,3 and 4 weeks after injection,and PVR was graded based on the criteria of Francine.The animals were sacrificed after 1 week,2,4 or 8 weeks for the preparation of retinal sections and liver extraction.Expression levels of IGFBP-6 mRNA in the rat retina and liver were assayed by real-time Q-PCR.The expression of IGFBP-6 protein in the rat serum and vitreous was detected by ELISA.The use of animals complied with the Regulations for the Administration of Affairs Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission.Results Purified IGFBP-6 RNA was extracted from the liver and retina of Wistar rat and quantified by real-time Q-PCR.The expression level of IGFBP-6 mRNA in retina was (3.79± 1.33) × 10-4 in the PVR model rats,showing a significant decline in comparison with the control rats with a level of(8.32±2.96) × 10 4,4 weeks after injection (t =3.42,P＜0.01).The expression of IGFBP-6 mRNA in the 4th week was significantly lower than that of 1 week,2 or 8 weeks after the establishment of the PVR model(P＜0.05).No significant difference was found in the IGFBP-6 mRNA level in the liver between the PVR group and control group(27.60± 14.01 × 10 4 vs.25.01 ± 12.04 ×10-4,respectively),as well as among the different time points(P＞0.05).IGFBP-6 mRNA content in the retina was significantly reduced in grades 1,2 or 3 of the PVR groups compared with the control group(P＞0.05),but there was no significant difference among the different grades of PVR groups (P＞0.05).Concentrations of IGFBP-6 protein in grades 1,2 and 3 of the PVR model group were (221.00 ± 19.32),(229.63 ± 18.89) and (225.70 ± 26.71) μg/L,with a significant elevation in comparison with (173.25 ±21.11) μg/L of the control group (t =2.14,P＜0.05).However,there was no significant change among the different grades of PVR groups(t=1.24,1.46,P＞0.05).The concentrations of IGFBP-6 protein in the vitreous and serum were higher in PVR rat samples (vitreous:225.44±19.36 μg/L;serum:108.48 ± 15.78 μg/L) than in control rats (vitreous:173.25 ± 21.11 μg/L,serum:95.96 ±17.40 μg/L)(P＜0.05).Conclusions The concentrations of IGFBP-6 protein in the vitreous and serum increase in PVR rats.The results indicate that the increased IGFBP-6 in the vitreous might be a localized autocrine secretion of the eye.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Tai Chi exercise on somatic function of middle-aged females.Methods60 middle-aged females had a 16-week Taichi quan exercise and changes of blood pressure, resting heart rate and vital capacity were tested.ResultsAfter Tai Chi exercise, 60 women had results of resting heart rate and blood pressure decreased, and vital capacity increased obviously (P<0.05～0.01).ConclusionTai Chi exercise maybe an effect sport manner to improve the somatic function of middle-aged females.

Objective To provide the guidance for the control and treatment of blood stream infec-tion caused by Serratia marcescens strains through analyzing the homology and drug resistant genes of the iso-lates collected from the Intensive Care Unit ( ICU) of Shaoxing County Central Hospital.Methods Serratia marcescens strains were isolated from ICU patients with blood stream infection and also from the hands of health care providers in the ICU from June 1st to September 30th, 2013.The antibiotic susceptibilities of the Serratia marcescens isolates were tested.PCR was performed to amplify the common drug resistant genes. Pulse-field gel electrophoresis ( PFGE) was carried out for analyzing the homology of all isolates.The com-plete clinical data of the patients were collected and statistically analyzed with Spearman′s rank correlation coefficient.Results Seventeen strains were isolated in this study.All of the 17 strains were resistant to the first and second generation Cephalosporin, Gentamicin and Ciprofloxacin, and sensitive to Amikacin and Ceftazidime.The drug resistant rates to Carbapenems ranged from 11.76%to 35.29%.One of the isolates (5.88%) carried the TEM gene.The results of PFGE showed that the phenotypes of all isolates were identi-cal.Conclusion Serratia marcescens strains were critical hospital infectious pathogens.They were able to spread in the hospital and were resistant to multiple antibiotics.Clinical physicians should properly use anti-biotics for the patients based on the result of drug susceptibility test.A control regulation for Serratia marces-cens infection within hospital should be enforced to avoid the cross infection and the outbreak of resistant strains.

Background Our previous study demonstrated that kallikrein-kinin is a special protein in vitreous of the eye with proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR),and the expression intensity of kallikrein-kinin showed the positive correlation with the grade of PVR.Objective This study was to further explore whether kallikrein-kinin participate in the formation of PVR.Methods Rat retinal pigment epithelial cell line(RPE-J cells) was cultured in DMEM containing 4% fetal bovine serum and then prepared into suspension by PBS with the cells density of 2.5×108 cells/ml.Platelet-rich plasma was prepared by PBS with the platelet 2.5×108 /ml.RPE cell suspension(4μl) and platelet-rich plasma(6μl) was intravitreally injected in the left eyes of 30 clean Wistar rats to establish the PVR models,and 10μl sterile pyrogen-free normal saline solution was used in the same way in other matched rats as controls.The PVR was graded on Francine's criteria in 1 day,3,7,14,21,28 days after injection under the slit lamp.The serum,vitreous and retina were obtained in 28 days after injection to assess the expression of bradykinin using Western blot.The histopathology examination of rat retina was performed in the 28th day after injection.This experimental procedure followed the Regulations for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission.Results Typical PVR was seen in 25 models with the successful rate 89.3% at 28 days after injection.PVR 1,2,3 grades were respectively exhibited in 7,14,28 days under the slit lamp.Infiltration of inflammatory cells and migration of RPE cells were found in the 7th day.In the 14th day after injection,RPE cells transformed into fibroblasts and retinal detachment occurred after that.Western blot analysis revealed that bradykinin was detected in vitreous,serum and retinal samples of rats in experimental and control rats,but the expression intensity was higher in the rats of model groups.Conclusion Intravitreal co-injection of RPE cells and platelet-rich plasma can effectively induce a model of PVR in Wistar rat.The kallikrein-kinin system probably takes part in the onset of PVR.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the ultrasonography diagnosis in prenatal and the postnatal placental vascular casts of the twins reversed arterial perfusion(TRAP) sequence. Methods Six cases of TRAP sequence underwent the two-dimensional and color Doppler ultrasonography, and performed placental vascular casts after termination of pregnance. Results According to the anatomical features and ultrasonography, there were 3 cases of acardius acephalus( IV) ,2 cases of acardius anceps( II ) , and 1 case of acardius acormus( I ). In all 6 cases,there were arterio-arterial and veno-venous anastomoses at the level of the chorionic plate between the normal co-twin and the acardiac twin,these anastmosis vessels were superficial and large calibre, and the distances of the placental insertions of the umbilical cords were different,4 cases <0. 5 cm, 2 cases were 4-5 cm. In 4 cases, the vessels entered and went out of the acardiac twin were just one large umbilical artery and one large umbilical vein. In 2 cases, the umbilical artery and umbilical vein had many vascular branches in the placenta. Out of 6 cases of the pump twin, 4 cases died,and 2 cases survived. Conclusions Ultrasonography was consistent with the placental vascular casts,the contrast observing gives us new information for the further research of the special type of the vascular anastmosis and prognosis of the TRAP sequence.

?AlM:To explore the influence factors of orthokeratology controlling development of juvenile myopia.
?Methods: A retrospective analysis of 86 cases ( 169 eyes ) who performed orthokeratology from November 2012 to November 2013 in our hospital was carried out. Ater 2a treatment, diopter increased > -0. 25D as invalid control group (54 eyes), diopter increased ≤ -0. 25D as effective control group ( 115 eyes ) . The difference of various factors between two groups were compared.
?RESULTS: Univariate comparison showed that the two groups had no statistical significance (P>0. 05) in terms of gender, whether wear glasses in the past, anterior corneal diameter before treatment, central corneal thickness, intraocular pressure and anterior chamber depth. However, the two groups had statistical significance (P<0. 05) in the terms of age, dioptre before trement, corneal curvature, and axial length basis. Logistic regression analysis showed that foundation axial length, age and corneal curvature were in line with regression model ( P<0. 05 ), these were independent factors that orthokeratology lens control juvenile myopia development.
? CONCLUSlON: lndependent factors affecting orthokeratology control juvenile myopia development is foundation axial length, age and corneal curvature. For juvenile patients, the longer of foundation axial length, the longer the age, the greater the curvature of cornea, orthokeratology can better control the myopia’s development.
