Journal of Modern Laboratory Medicine 2015;(4):102-104
Objective To investigate the expressions of interluekin-3 in BALB/c mice infected by mycoplasma pneumonia (MP)and to clarify the relationship between IL-3 and MP infection.Methods Total 36 BALB/c mice were randomly divid-ed into control group,MP infection group and clarithromycin treatment group.MP infection models were established with the method of dripping cultured MP into nasal cavity of mice.ELISA method was used to assay the levels of IL-3 in the the serum of the mice and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in various groups.The lung tissue was fixed in formalin for sections,HE staining was performed for the observation of histological changes.Results The MP-infected mouse models were established successfully and MP strains were dripped into the respiratory system of mice.As showed in histopathological observasion re-sults,significantly increased after MP infection and then gradually decreased after clarithromycin treatment.The ELISA re-sults showed that the level of serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of IL-3 of the mice in MP infection group were 96.4± 8.3 ng/L and 60.9 ±6.5 ng/L.Compared with the control group(203.1±14.5 ng/L,96.3±12.6ng/L),serum and bron-choalveolar lavage fluid of mice infected with MP in IL-3 levels were significantly lower (t serum = 19.50,t balf = 17.20,P <0.01),and after treatment with clarithromycin,serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of IL-3 significantly increased,re-spectively(175.6±12.5 ng/L and 85.6± 10.2 ng/L,tserum = 17.41,tbalf = 14.62,P <0.01),the difference was statistically significant.Conclusion IL-3 levels were decreased in mycoplasma pneumonia mice.Clarithromycin treatment had effect on mycoplasma pneumonia infecttion.The expression level IL-3 may be related to the severity degree of MP infection.

Objective To observe the image features of high myopia with retinoschisis by spectraldomain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Methods The clinical data of eight patients (eight eyes)of high myopia with retinoschisis were retrospective analyzed. All patients were diagnosed by SD-OCT (Topcon 3D OCT-1000), had no macular holes and underwent vitrectomy including internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and gas tamponade. All patients also underwent visual acuity, refraction,pre-mirror fundus examination and A/B-mode ultrasound examination. Visual acuity and SD-OCT were followed up at one, three and six months after surgery. Before surgery, pre-mirror fundus examination revealed shallow foveal detachment in 3/8 eyes, posterior scleral staphyloma in 7/8 eyes. SD-OCT showed concave arc stripes in 7/8 eyes, and outer retinoschisis in 8/8 eyes, middle or inner retinoschisis in 5/8 eyes and foveal detachment in 5/8 eyes. Results Six months after surgery, posterior retinoschisis disappeared in six eyes, foveal detachment still presented in one eye and parafoveal hole occurred in one eye. The corrected visual acuity improved from the 0. 15 to 0. 8 in one eye which had a restored continuous inner segment/outer segmen (IS/OS) line by SD-OCT. The corxected visual acuity improved from 0. 01 to 0. 1 in one eye, from 0. 05 to 0. 15 in one eye, not changed in five eyes. There was no continuous IS/OS line in those patients by SD-OCT. Conclusions SD-OCT shows a variety of morphological features of myopic retinoschisis which could be cured anatomically and functionally by vitrectomy combined ILM peeling. The continuity of IS/OS layer from SD-OCT could help to interpret the vision recovery after the operation.

?Objective: To study the preparation method of nanometer powder of zirconia, which was used to toughen dental alumina ceramics. Methods: The inorganic precursors at the concentrations of 0.0155 , 0.03, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.28 mol/L were used to prepare zirconia powder via precipitation method. Ammonia water was added into the said solutions to control the pH value at 7.0, 8.5 and 9. The dried precipitation product was then calcined. The prepared zirconia powder were studied by using X ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results: The zirconia powder prepared under the condition of 0.03 0.05 mol/L concentration of inorganic precursors, pH = 8.5, and calcined at 700 ℃ for 2 h was even in size,well dispersed and well micronized. The diameter of the final powder was about 100 nm. Conclusion: With proper preparation condition, weakly agglomerated powder of zirconia in nanometer size can be obtained.

The urothelium is a transitional epithelium which lines on the renal pelvis, ureter, bladder and proximal urethra adjacent to the bladder. It’s a permeability barrier. In the process of urothelial development or injury repair, the mature urothelial cells expressing uroplakin appears after the hierarchical transcription of a series of transcription factors in basal stem cells. Understanding normal urothelial differentiation process of the urothelial cells could be beneficial to uncover the development of urothelial carcinoma so that to provide targeted therapy options and the study of the urinary tract repair process after injury. In addition, the study of stem cell differentiation microenvironment also provides important theoretical support for tissue engineering and tissue reconstruction. In this review, we discuss the latest findings on urothelial cell differentiation and its clinical significance.

Mild cognitive impairment is a transitional stage between normal aging and dementia. It is important in terms of recognizing memory loss in older people as well as identifying a group of individuals at high risk of developing dementia and who may benefit from preventive strategies. Ginkgo biloba extract has been shown to possess polyvalent properties, such as anti-oxidation, anti-apoptosis and anti-inflammation. Ginkgo biloba extract appears to have a neuroprotective effect against neurodegenerative diseases.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between genotype and phenotype in children with CRB1 mutated Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) and early onset retinal dystrophy (EOSRD). Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From January 2013 to December 2019, 10 children with CRB1 mutated LCA/EOSRD were enrolled in the study. The patients were identified as CRB1 mutation by the second generation targeted capture sequencing, Sanger sequencing and the family segregation analysis. All children underwent electroretinogram (ERG) and fundus examination. At the same time, 6 cases were examined by optical coherence tomography (OCT); 1 case was examined by fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA), 7 cases were examined by wide-angle laser scanning ophthalmoscope (UWF SLO). Results:There were 6 cases of LCA and 4 cases of EOSRD in 10 patients with CRB1 gene mutations. The average age of first visit was 3.61 years old. The light and dark wave of ERG was flat in 6 cases, and decreased in 4 cases. A total of 19 pathogenic mutations were detected. There were 1 homozygous mutation and 9 compound heterozygous mutations. There were 4, 2 and 1 cases of "copper-coin" like, "salt and pepper" like and "osteocyte" like pigment changes in retina, 1 case of "crystalline pigment" change and 2 cases of macular pigment scar. In 7 cases of UWF SLO examination, different degrees of para-arteriolar pigment epithelium retention (PPRPE) were found in the middle and peripheral fundus. In 6 cases examined by OCT, the outer layer of retina atrophied and the band of ellipsoid disappeared. Symmetrical cystoid macular edema, splitting cystoid macular degeneration and adhesion of epi-macular membrane to optic disc and macular area were found in 1 case, respectively, the retinal structure was rough and thickened, and the fovea became thinner in 3 cases. In FFA examination, 1 case showed uveitis-like changes with late optic disc fluorescein staining, macular fluorescence accumulation, strong fluorescence diffusing along the blood vessels in each quadrant, peripheral PPRPE of "frost-branch" like strong fluorescence. Conclusion:The relationship between genotype and phenotype of CRB1 mutation is complex, and PPRPE is a common characteristic change.
