This study examined the change of p16(INK4a) and PNCA protein expression in myocardium after injection of hIGF-1 gene modified skeletal myoblasts into post-infarction rats. HIGF-1 gene modified skeletal myoblasts (hIGF-1-myoblasts) were injected into hind limb muscles of 18 post-infraction rats (experimental group). Primary-myoblasts were injected into 18 post-infraction rats (control group) and 12 non-infarction rats (sham group). Expression of p16(INK4a) and PCNA protein in myocardiums were separately detected immunocytochemically 1, 2 and 4 weeks after the inuection. The level of hIGF-1 and rIGF-1 protein in serum and myocardium were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Compared with the sham group, the percentage of p16(INK4a) and PCNA positive cells reached a peak after 1 week in the control group and the experimental group (P<0.01). Moreover, the percentage of p16(INK4a)-positive cells in the experimental group was lower than in control group whereas the percentage of PCNA-positive cells was lower in the control group than in the experimental group (P<0.01). The percentage of p16(INK4a)-positive cells in the experimental group and the percentage of PCNA-positive cells in the control group were close to that in the sham group from the 2nd week (P>0.05). ELISA analysis disclosed that the myocardium level of rIGF-1 protein increased gradually in the controls and especially in the experimental group (P<0.01). The serum level of rIGF-1 decreased significantly in post-infraction rats, but these conditions were improved in the experimental group (P<0.01). The hIGF-1 protein in serum and myocardium were detected from the 1st week to the 4th week in the experimental group. Statistical analysis revealed significant associations of myocardium level of hIGF-1 protein with expression of p16(INK4a) and PCNA protein (r=-0.323, P<0.05; r=0.647, P<0.01). It is concluded that genetically hIGF-1-myoblast provides a means for constant synthesis and release of hIGF-1. It could not only improve the expression of rIGF-1 and PCNA protein in myocardium, but also suppress the expression of p16(INK4a) protein for 30 days in post-infraction rats. Myoblasts-mediated IGF-1 gene therapy may provide a new alternative for the clinical treatment of heart failure.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of recombinant human growth hormone(rhGH)on myocardial inflammatory cytokine expression and heart function in rats with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). MethodsRats with AMI induced by left anterior descending coronary branch ligation were randomized to rhGH and control groups compared with sham-operated group. The effects of 4 weeks of therapy with GH starting 24 hours after myocardial infarction on myocardial cytokines expression and heart function were studied. Myocardial inflammation was examined by analyzing the myocardial cytokine production including the pro-inflammatory cytokines: interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and the anti-inflammatory cytokine: IL-10. Echocardiography was used to evaluate heart function. ResultsThe levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 in the infarcted and non-infarcted region of control group were markedly elevated compared to sham-operated group (all P<0.05). After 4 weeks therapy, rhGH reduced the expression of TNF -α, IL-1β, IL-6 and increased IL-10 expression in the infarcted and non-infarcted region of rhGH group compared to control group (all P<0. 05 ). Echocardiography showed that rhGH markedly improved left heart function (P<0. 05 ). ConclusionsEarly rhGH treatment can improve heart function and myocardial inflammatory cytokine expression after AMI. One of immunopharmacologic mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of rhGH on heart function improvement may involve the attenuation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the increase of anti-inflammatory cytokine levels in cardiac myocytes.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of embedding suture in pterygium excision combined with autologous conjunctival transplantation, and to compare the differences between embedding suture, continuous suture and intermittent suture.Methods:A randomized controlled study was conducted.One hundred and twenty patients (120 eyes) with primary pterygium, who underwent pterygium excision combined with autologous conjunctival transplantation in Shanghai Aier Eye Hospital from May to July 2020, were enrolled.The patients were randomly divided into the embedding suture group, continuous suture group and interrupted suture group, with 40 eyes in each group.The operation duration was recorded and the patients received follow-up visit at 0.5, 1, 3, 7, 10, 14 days and 1, 3 and 6 months after the operation.The five-point method was used to record the postoperative pain score.The corneal epithelial healing was evaluated by sodium fluorescein staining.The complications such as graft detachment, graft displacement or pterygium recurrence were observed with a slit lamp microscope.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of Shanghai Aier Eye Hospital (No.SHAIER2020RB03). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject before any medical examination.Results:The operation time of continuous suture, interrupted suture and embedding suture was (14.45±2.78), (16.28±2.24) and (16.58±2.22) minutes, respectively, and the overall difference was statistically significant ( F=8.98, P<0.05). The operation time of continuous suture was significantly shorter than that of interrupted suture and embedding suture (both at P<0.017), and there was no significant difference between embedding suture and interrupted suture ( P>0.017). There was a statistically significant overall difference in pain scores among the three groups at various time points after the operation ( P<0.05). At 0.5, 1, 3, 7 and 10 days after the operation, the pain scores of embedding suture were lower than those of continuous suture and interrupted suture (all at P<0.05). On the 7th day after the operation, there was no significant difference in the unhealed rate of corneal epithelium among the three groups ( P=1.000). On the 10th day after the operation, the corneal epithelia of the three groups were all healed.During the six months after the operation, no complications such as displacement, detachment, necrosis, infection of graft and eye movement disorder occurred in the three groups.There was no significant difference in the recurrence rate of pterygium ( P=1.000). Conclusions:Embedding suture method can effectively reduce the irritation symptoms after pterygium conjunctival transplantation, and has stable fixation of implants.Compared with the traditional interrupted suture, it does not increase the recurrence rate, incidence of adverse reactions, operation time and economic burden of patients.

China Pharmacy 2024;35(19):2335-2339
OBJECTIVE To quantitatively evaluate the “dual channel” management policy of national medical insurance negotiation drugs at the provincial level, analyze the shortcomings and excellent experience and provide reference for the optimization of the policy. METHODS Taking the “double-channel” management policy of national medical insurance negotiation drugs in 31 provinces as the research object, text mining method was used to summarize the key contents of the policy; the policy modeling consistency (PMC) index model is constructed, and the “dual channel” management policies of 31 provinces are quantitatively analyzed through the evaluation model. Taking Beijing and Chongqing as examples, the differences between good policies and acceptable policies are compared. RESULTS Among the 31 provinces, the PMC index of 18 provinces is between 6.00 and <8.00, which belongs to the excellent policies. The PMC index of 13 provinces is between 4.00 and <6.00, which belongs to acceptable policies. The policies of Beijing and Chongqing are consistent in 5 aspects, such as policy nature and policy effectiveness, while there are differences in 4 aspects, such as policy content and policy audience. CONCLUSION The “dual channel” management policies in most provinces are at a relatively perfect level, and some provinces need to continuously optimize the policy design and improve the policy rules according to the actual situation of their own medical and health development; establish the management mode of designated pharmacies, clarify the selection rules and exit mechanism; pay attention to the construction of pharmaceutical care, and promote the outflow of prescriptions.

This study examined the change of p 16INK4a and PNCA protein expression in myocardium after injection of hIGF-1 gene modified skeletal myoblasts into post-infarction rats. HIGF-1 gene modified skeletal myoblasts (hIGF-1-myoblasts) were injected into hind limb muscles of 18post-infraction rats (experimental group). Primary-myoblasts were injected into 18 post-infraction rats (control group) and 12 non-infarction rats (sham group). Expression of p16INK4a and PCNA protein in myocardiums were separately detected immunocytochemically 1, 2 and 4 weeks after the inuection. The level of hIGF-1 and rIGF-1 protein in serum and myocardium were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Compared with the sham group, the percentage of p16INK4a and PCNA positive cells reached a peak after 1 week in the control group and the experimental group (P<0.01). Moreover, the percentage of p16INK4a-positive cells in the experimental group was lower than in control group whereas the percentage of PCNA-positive cells was lower in the control group than in the experimental group (P<0.01). The percentage of p16INK4a-positive cells in the experimental group and the percentage of PCNA-positive cells in the control group were close to that in the sham group from the 2nd week (P>0.05). ELISA analysis disclosed that the myocardium level of rIGF-1 protein increased gradually in the controls and especially in the experimental group (P<0.01). The serum level of rIGF-1 decreased significantly in post-infraction rats, but these conditions were improved in the experimental group (P<0.01).
