Objective To detect the expression of aromatase P450 and estrogen receptor (ER) in eutopic and ectopic endometrium in endometriosis and their correlation with endometriosis. Methods Forty patients who had undergone operation because of endometriosis (all were stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ according to the revised American Fertility Society classification) were enrolled and 83 tissue specimens from different locations of disease foci were obtained and divided into five groups according to the location: group Ⅰ, eutopic endometrium of 25 cases; Group Ⅱ, ovarian endometriosis tissues of 23 cases; Group Ⅲ, vagina-rectum endometriosis tissues of 11 cases; Group Ⅳ, peritoneum endometriosis tissues of eight cases; and group V, uterine serosa endometriosis tissues of 16 cases. Control group consisted of normal endometrium taken from 20 fertile women who had endometrial curettage before placement of intrauterine device. The routine two-step immunohistochemical technique was used to measure the expression of aromatase P450 and ER in endometrial cells. Results Expressions of aromatase P450 and ER in group Ⅰ [histochemistry score (H-score), 2.6?1.0, 3.8?0.5] were significantly higher than those in control group (both P

· AIM:To determine whether the multifocal visual evoked potential (mfVEP) can be used as a clinical method to assess the patients with optic nerve disease.· METHODS: Fifteen patients with optic nerve disease were examined in this study. All patients underwent visual acuity examination, slit-lamp inspection, ophthalmoscopy, Goldmann perimeter, fundus fiuorescein angiography, visual field and mfVEP. Although these patients with unilateral optic nerve damage,data from both eyes were included in the analysis.· RESULTS:In all patients the visual fields defect was demonstrated on the mfVEP and showed good correspondence in location of the scotoma. However, we also found some slight difference between visual field and mfVEP. In some locations, when the local visual fields were normal, mfVEP showed that its amplitude reduced. In reverse, when the local mfVEP seemed normal, visual field showed abnormity.· CONCLUSION:Multifocal visual evoked potential could be used as a clinical diagnosis option in patients with optic nerve disease. Local monocular damage to the optic nerve can be measured by an interocular comparison of the mfVEP.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of glycomacropeptide (GMP) in human milk and formula milk on proliferation ofbifidobacterium infantis and their dose-response relationship.Methods Casein was isolated from the milk of 30 healthy postpartum women from Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center in September 2014, and hydrolyzed by rennet to obtain GMP, which was then purified by ultrafiltration and ion exchange chromatography. Human milk GMP and cow milk GMP (0, 250, 500, 1 000, 1 500, 2 000 and 3 000 mg/L) were added tobifidobacterium infantis liquid medium, and cultured under anaerobic conditions. Concentration of bacteria was measured by turbidimetric microplate assay (detection of OD600 nmvalue of medium). Difference of proliferative activities ofbiifdobacterium infantis in human milk GMP and cow milk GMP was compared with independent samplest-test.ResultsPurified human milk GMP concentration was 1 712.20 mg/L, with a purity of 80.3%. Increasing the cow milk GMP initial concentration in the culture medium at 250-2 000 mg/L could increase the concentration and proliferation rate ofbiifdobacteria infantis. When cultured at 36 h with GMP of various concentrations, the proliferation ofbiifdobacteria infantis maintained at a logarithmic phase. Therefore, 36 h was chosen as the test time point to compare the proliferation ofbifidobacterium infantis. At 36 h, when GMP in the medium was 1 000, 1 500, 2 000 and 3 000 mg/L, concentrations ofbiifdobacteria infantis in human milk GMP were 2.255±0.036, 2.583±0.088, 2.877±0.080 and 3.219±0.081, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in cow milk GMP (2.115±0.053, 2.312±0.064, 2.542±0.090 and 2.894±0.076;t=4.867, 5.569, 6.192 and 6.516; allP<0.01).Conclusions Both human milk GMP and cow milk GMP can promote the proliferation ofbiifdobacterium infantisin vitro, and the proliferative activity in human milk is greater than in cow milk at the same concentration of GMP.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Feiji Formula, a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on lung cancer metastasis in mice. METHODS: The lung cancer metastasis model of mice was established in this experiment study. Twenty-four mice were randomly divided into three groups: untreated group, cisplatin group and Feiji Formula group. Mice in the Feiji Formula group were treated with Feiji Formula decoction; in cisplatin group, with cisplatin by intraperitoneal injection; and in the untreated group, with normal saline (NS). After twenty-day treatment, the body and tumor weights as well as the number of metastatic tumors in both lungs of each mouse were measured. RESULTS: The body weight of mice in cisplatin group was significantly less than that of Feiji Formula group and untreated group (P<0.01); the tumor weight of mice in cisplatin group and Feiji Formula group was markedly lower than that of untreated group (P<0.01); and the number of metastatic tumors in cisplatin group and Feiji Formula group was markedly lower than that of the untreated group (P<0.01), no significant difference between the Feiji Formula group and cisplatin group in terms of the weights and the numbers of metastatic tumors in bilateral lungs. CONCLUSION: Feiji Formula can suppress tumor growth and decrease the number of lung metastatic tumors in the mice, and maintain the body weight of the mice.

Objective To explore a method for establishing the hamster model of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD)and the indicators for its evaluation.Methods Clindamycin was administered to hamsters subcutaneously (day 1),and 24 h later infected with C.difficile clinical isolates KH1 (ribotype 027,106-108 CFU/mL)or SH9 (ribotype 001 ,108-1010 CFU/mL)by gavage.Animals were observed for CDAD symptoms such as diarrhea,weight loss and death.At the end of ob-servation period (day 7 or death),the cecum was collected from each animal for histological evaluation of inflammation.Results Following a single dose of 100 mg/kg clindamycin subcutaneously,all the animals challenged with KH1 (108 CFU/mL)devel-oped diarrhea and then died within 5 days.All the hamsters challenged with SH9 (1010 CFU/mL)developed diarrhea as well but only 66.7% died at the end of observation period.Among other groups,only one or none developed diarrhea and then died. The symptoms of hamsters with diarrhea included loose stool,wet tail and weight loss.On histological examination,conges-tion,hemorrhage and neutrophil infiltration of the mucosa were observed in the hamsters died of CDAD.Conclusions We have successfully established a hamster CDAD model that allows for future investigations.

Background Traction of epiretinal membrane results in macular morphologic change and visual functional impairment in eye with idiopathic epiretinal membrane (IERM),therefore figuring out their relationship is helpful for evaluation of disease prognosis.Objective This study was to observe the morphological change of macula and microstructure,and analyze the relationship between retina thickness,integrity of cone outer segment tips (COST) line in fovea and visual acuity.Methods This was a retrospective case-observational study.Fifty-six consecutive cases diagnosed as IERM in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center from March 2011 to December 2011 were enrolled in this study,and all the patients showed unilateral IERM with the normal fellow eyes.Sixteen patients were males and 40 were females,with a mean age of (61.05 ± 6.58) years old.Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) examination was performed on the eyes,and Macular Cube (512×128) and HD 5 Line program were selected.Mean retinal thickness of central area (＜1 mm diameter),inner ring area (1-3 mm diameter) and outer ring area (＞3-6 mm diameter) of macula and the status of COST line (intact or fractured) was recorded.Mean thickness of whole macular areas and the difference of foveal microstructure were compared,and the correlation between retinal thickness and visual acuity was analyzed using Pearson linear correlation analysis.Related parameters including age,visual acuity,retinal thickness were also compared between the continuous COST lines group and the fractured COST lines group by independent sample t test.Results The flatted or disappeared fovea was seen in IERM eyes on the SD-OCT image.Retinal thicknesses were (446±89)μm,(418±64)μm and (328±34)ttm in the central area,inner ring area and outer ring area of macula in the IERM eyes,exhibiting significant increasing in comparison with (250±22) μm,(319±17) μm and (279±17) μm in the normal fellow eyes (t=13.370,9.523,7.769,all P =0.000).Significantly negative correlations were found between the visual acuity and the central macular thickness,inner ring thickness or outer ring thickness (r=-0.686,-0.653,-0.417,P＜0.05).In the IERM eyes,COST band was intact in 20 eyes and lack in 36 eyes.Compared with COST band intact group,aging,worse vision and increased retinal thickness were seen in the COST band absent group (t =2.109,P =0.039 ; t =-4.093,P =0.000 ; t =6.669,P=0.000;t=5.376,P=0.000;t=4.247,P=0.000).COST band was clear in all the normal fellow eyes on the SD-OCT image.Conclusions Increase of macular thickness and disruption of COST band reflect the visual function damage in IERM eye.Deficiency of COST band on OCT image seems to be an early indication of photoreceptor damage.Incomplete fovea COST band is often seen in older patients.
