To investigate the effect of propofol on the plasma contents of endothelin(ET) and calcitonin gene related peptide(CGRP).Twelve monkeys with hemorrhagic shock were divided randomly into two groups.The monkeys in propofol group(PG) were administered propofol to 8mg/L plasma concentration by target control infusion with computer,while monkeys in control group(CG) were not .Venous blood were collected to determine plasma ET and CGRP contents by radioimmunoassay before bleeding, 2 hours after hemorrhagic shock and 2h after resuscitation. Compared with control group,the CGRP level and CGRP/ET of PG were significantly increased at 2h after hemorrhagic shock and 2h after resuscitation,while ET level of PG at 2h after resuscitation was significantly lower than that of CG. These findings indicate that propofol can increase the plasma content of CGRP and decrease the plasma content of ET in monkeys after hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation, and ET may play an important role in the development of hemorrhagic shock.

Objective: To determine if the hemagglutinin A (HagA) of Porphyromonas gingivalis could be involved in the adhesion and invasion in human gingival epithelial cells (HGEC). Methods:P. gingivalis 381 hagA mutant was constructed by conjugation method. The whole length of hagA gene was cloned into pYA292 in Salmonella typhimurium x4072 (S. typhimurium-hagA). The strains were used to test their ability of adhesion and invasion into HGEC using a standard antibiotic protection assay. S. typhimurium x4072 strains containing empty vectors were used as negative control. HagA expression in S. typhimurium-hagA was confirmed by Western blot. Results:Although there were no significant differences between P. gingivalis 381 hagA mutant and wild type in adhesion and invasion into HGEC, the adhesion values of S. typhimurium-hagA to HGEC were increased by 3 times compared to their respective controls, while the invasion ability of S. typhimurium-hagA was 4 times greater than that of the negative controls. Conclusion: These results suggest that HagA may participate in P. gingivalis adhesion and invasion into HGEC.

Objective To assess the consistency of diagnostic results using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) in the central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).Methods This is a retrospective case series of 26 eyes of 26 patients with CRVO.There were 10 females (10 eyes) and 16 males (16 eyes).The mean age was (49.19±10.50) years.The mean course of the disease was (27.81± 21.60) days.Simultaneous OCTA and FFA were performed in all patients using 7-standard field of Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) to evaluate the microaneurysms,nonperfused areas,optical disc/retinal neovascularization and maeular edema.The consistency was evaluated using weighted Kappa statistic values.Kappa≥0.76,consistency is excellent;0.60≤Kappa＜0.75,consistency is good;0.40≤Kappa＜0.60,consistency is general;Kappa＜0.40,consistency is poor.Results Based on OCTA,microaneurysms were found in 23 eyes,nonperfused areas in 16 eyes,optical disc/retinal neovascularization in 8 eyes and macular edema in 21 eyes.Based on FFA,23 eyes were diagnosed to have microaneurysms,14 eyes have nonperfused area,8 eyes have optical disc/retinal neovascularization,22 eyes have macular edema.The consistency was excellent for microaneurysms and optical disc/retinal neovascularization (Kappa=0.772,0.766;P＜0.01),good for nonperfused areas and macular edema (Kappa =0.703,0.600,P＜ 0v01).Conclusion There is high consistency between OCTA and FFA in the diagnosis of microaneurysms,macular edema,nonperfused areas and optical disc/retinal neovascularization in CRVO patients.

OBJECTIVEThis work lays the foundation for establishing a digital model database with normal occlusion. A digital dental cast is acquired through grating projection, and model features are measured through reverse engineering.

METHODSThe grating projection system controlled by a computer was projected onto the surface of a normal dental model. Three-dimensional contour data were obtained through multi-angle shooting. A three-dimensional model was constructed, and the model features were analyzed by using reverse engineering. The digital model was compared with the plaster model to determine the accuracy of the measurement system.

RESULTSThe structure of three-dimensional reconstruction model was clear. The digital models of two measurements exhibited no significant difference (P > 0.05). When digital and plaster models were measured, we found that the crown length and arch width were not statistically different (P > 0.05), whereas the difference between the crown width and arch length was statistically significant (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe reconstruction of a digital model by using the grating projection technique and reverse engineering can be used for dental model measurement in clinic al and scientific research and can provide a scientific method for establishing a digital model database with normal occlusion.

Objective To compare the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) alone or in combined with ranibizumab versus ranibizumab monotherapy (intravitreal injection,IVR) in patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).Methods 80 eyes of 72 patients with PCV were enrolled into this retrospective and comparative study according to their therapeutic plan.30 eyes of 28 patients,28 eyes of 30 patients and 22 eyes of 21 patients were divided into PDT group,ranibizumab 0.5 mg group (IVR group) or the combination group,respectively.The patients with PCV were diagnosed according to clinical symptoms,optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescent indocyanine green angiography (ICGA).The baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) before treatment was more than 0.05,and there was no retinal fibrosis and scar for all patients.There was no statistical difference of age (F=0.187),gender (x2 =0.423),average BCVA (F=1.120) and central retinal thickness (CRT) (F=0.431) among three groups (P＞0.05).They had not received any treatment before.Patients received verteporfin PDT in PDT group,3 consecutive monthly IVRs starting day 1 in IVR group,and 3 IVRs after 3 days,1 month,2 months of PDT starting day 1 in combination group.Re-treatment was considered 3 months later if the follow up shown no changes in fundus photography,OCT and ICGA.The average follow-up time was 19 months.BCVA at baseline and follow-up visit at 1,3,6,12 months was measured,and the proportion of patients with ICGA-assessed complete regression of polyps at month 6 was recorded as primary outcome.The CRT was measured at baseline and 6 months as secondary outcome.Results There were significant difference of BCVA at 1,3,6 and 12 months among three groups(F=5.480,5.249,3.222,4.711;P＜0.05).The average BCVA was significantly better at 1,3,6,12 month than that at baseline(t =-6.632,-4.127,-3.904,-4.494;P＜ 0.05) in combination group,and was significantly better at 3,6,12 months than that at baseline (t=-5.636,-3.039,-3.833;P＜0.05) in IVR group.However there was no significant difference of the average BCVA in PDT group between follow-up at 1,3,6,l 2 months and baseline (t=1.973,0.102,-0.100,-0.761;P＞0.05).The proportion of patients with complete regression of polyps at 6 months was higher in PDT (76.7％) or combination group (68.2％) than IVR group (35.7％) (x2=0.003,0.025;P＜0.05).There was no significant difference of CRT among 3 groups at baseline (P=0.651).The mean CRT decreased in all 3 treatment groups over 6 months (t=5.120,3.635,5.253;P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference of CRT among 3 groups (F=1.293,P＞ 0.05).Conclusions Three therapies could effectively decrease CRT.IVR or IVR combined with PDT are both more effective than PDT therapy to improve vision of PCV patients.PDT or PDT combined with IVR was superior to IVR pnly in achieving complete regression of polyps in 6 months in PCV patients.

Objective To compare the short-term efficacy of conbercept and ranibizumab for macular edema in central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO)and explore the relationship between the integrity of ellipsoidal zone and visual acuity.Methods Forty-four eyes of 44 patients with macular edema in CRVO were enrolled into this retrospective and comparative study.There were 15 eyes of 15 males,29 eyes of 29 females;age ranged from 49-61 years old,with an average age of (54.65±3.10) years.All patients were examined with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA),intraocular pressure (IOP),slit lamp,fundus photograph,fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA),optical coherence tomography(OCT).BCVA were examined with interactional visual chart and recorded with logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution acuity.Twenty-three eyes were intravitreal injected with conbercept 0.5 mg (group A) and 21 eyes were intravitreal injected with ranibizumab 0.5 mg (group B).There was no statistical difference of age (t =-1.41),gender (x2 =0.55),the percentage of hypertension patients (x2 =0.27),average BCVA (t =-2.06),IOP (t=-2.52),central macular thickness (CMT) (t=-1.96),number of different integrity of ellipsoidal zone patients (x2 =1.00) and number of different types of macular edema patients (x2 =1.03)among the two groups (P＞0.05).The change in BCV.A.and CMT at 3,6 months between the two groups were compared.The relationship between BCVA at 6 months and BCVA,CMT at baseline were explored.The relationship between three groups of ellipsoidal zone and BCVA at baseline were evaluated.The change of BCVA after treatment between the three groups of ellipsoidal zone were Compared.The number of intravitreal injections between two groups was compared.Results During the 3,6 months after treatment,the mean BCVA were all improved with statistically difference in group A 0=5.13,7.39;P＜0.05) and group B (t=6.60,11.52;P＜0.05).There was no significant difference of BCVA at 3,6 moths between group A and group B (t=-0.99,-0.40;P＞0.05).During the 3,6 months after treatment,the mean CMT were all decreased with statistically difference in group A (t=11.58,i5.96;P＜0.05) and group B (t=18.77,35.16;P＜0.05).There was no significant difference of CMT at 3,6 months between group A and group B (t=-1.52,-1.63;P＞0.05).In both groups,BCVA at 6 months was related to BCVA at baseline (r=0.44,0.62;P＜0.05),but not related to CMT at baseline (r=0.19,0.01;P＞0.05).In the two groups,BCVA at baseline was related to the integrity of ellipsoidal zone (r=0.97,0.70;P＜0.05).There was statistical difference of the number of intravitreal injections in the two groups (t =-6.88,P＜0.05).There was no systemic or ocular serious side effects during the follow up.Conclusions Comparing to ranibizumab,conbercept has the same effective to the treatment of macular edema in CRVO,but the number of intravitreal injections is less.The integrity of ellipsoidal zone is related to BCVA.

To enhance the quality and efficiency of ozagrel by investigating the differences between the ozagrel polymorphs in bioavailability. Solid ozagrel in different polymorph forms were orally administered to SD rats. An HPLC method was established to determinate plasma level of ozagrel. The bioavailabilities of two polymorph forms were calculated and compared. The pharmacokinetic parameters of ozagrel, were as follows: Cmax was 32.72 ± 17.04 and 34.01 ± 19.13 mg · L(-1), respectively; AUC0-t was 61.14 ± 14.76 and 85.56 ± 18.08 mg · L(-1) · h, respectively; t½ was 1.53 ± 0.51 and 4.73 ± 3.00 h, respectively. There was no significant difference in pharmacokinetic parameters between form I and II polymorphs of ozagrel while the t½ of form II is longer, which indicates that the use of form II polymorph as pharmaceutical product may prolong the effective action time in clinics. This would help the polymorph quality control in drug production.
