Objiective To observe the morphological changes of rabbits' retina at different time points at which seawater was injected into the vitreous of rabbits. Methods Twenty-five New-Zealand white rabbits were randomly assigned to five groups, as 30 minutes, 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours group following the seawater injection in the vitreous. The right eyeball served as experimental eyeball and the left one as control in each group. 0.5ml artificial seawater was injected into the intermedius of rabbits right vitreous. 0.5ml balanced salt sdution was injected into the left vitreous in teh same way. At different time points following the eyeball injury, the morphological changes of retina were observed with light microscope and transmission electron microscope. Results The retina of control eyeballs had clear layers and regular cell shape in retinal structures with conventional staining. For the experimental eyeballs, the ganglion cell layer began to swelling after 30 minutes of seawater injection. The nerve fiber swelled obviously and the mitochondria vesiculated and swelled in the inner segment at 2 hours of seawater injection. The cell population of the inner nuclear layer began to reduce in 6 hours. At 12 hours of seawater injection, the retinal damages included disorganized cell nuclei, decreased cell population in ganglion cells and inner nuclear layer. Mitochondria vesiculated in photoreceptor cells, nuclear membrane shrank and sank inward. The vesiculation on inner and outer segments increased obviously. Conclusions Seawater may cause the morphological changes of rabbits' retina at early stage, and the histological damages become aggravation following the time prolongation. The damages would be unrecoverable 6 to 12 hours after seawater injury.

Objective To investigate the relationship of stress hyperglycemia,cystatin C and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with short-term prognosis in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction.Methods 242 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction were divided into two groups according to age:the elderly group (n=182),and the non elderly group (n=60).The clinical data including cystatin C (Cys C),eGFR and stress hyperglycemia levels were collected.The major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were observed during hospitalization and 30 days after discharge.Results The incidences of stress hyperglycemia,the levels of creatinine,Cys C and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP),as well as the total MACE were higher and eGFR was lower in elderly group than in non-elderly group (all P＜0.05).Cys C level was positively correlated with age,body mass index and levels of creatinine and BNP (all P＜0.05),and negatively correlated with fasting glucose and eGFR in elderly group (both P＜0.05).The eGFR was positively correlated with body mass index (P＜0.05),and negatively correlated with age,creatinine and BNP levels in elderly group (all P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis indicated that stress hyperglycemia [OR=1.871,95％CI:1.071-3.269,P=0.03],Cys C [OR=7.093,95％CI:2.261-22.249,P=0.00] were the independent risk factors for MACE.Conclusions Cys C level and eGFR can predict the early renal dysfunction and its prognosis in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction.The incidence of stress hyperglycemia is higher in the elderly,and stress hyperglycemia and Cys C level are the independent risk factors for MACE.

Objective To explore the clinic value of the vocal acoustics on voice evaluation in larynx leukoplakia pa?tients. Methods Dr. Speech software was used to perform voice acoustic analysis and deduce EGG parameters in 48 sub?jects with larynx leukoplakia and 50 normal subjects. Voice acoustic analysis parameters (Jitter, Shimmer, NNE, HNR, SNR, MPT), EGG parameters ( EGG-Jitter、EGG-Shimmer、EGG-NNE、EGG-HNR、EGG-SNR, CQP,CIP) and EGG wave?form were compared between two groups. Results For voice acoustic analysis, Jitter, Shimmer, NNE in larynx leukoplakia group were higher than those in normal group while HNR, SNR in larynx leukoplakia group were lower than those of normal group. What’s more,MPT in larynx leukoplakia group was obviously shorter than that in normal group with, statistically sig?nificant difference (P<0.05). For EGG analysis, EGG-Jitter, EGG-Shimmer, EGG-NNE were higher in larynx leukoplakia group than those in normal group with significant difference (P<0.05). EGG-HNR and EGG-SNR in larynx leukoplakia group were lower than those in normal group. Furthermore, CQP and CIP in larynx leukoplakia group were higher than those normal group with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Most patients’(72.9%) EGG waveform showed gradually ac?celerate phase velocity and fast close phase, which represent a spike-like shape. Conclusion Voice acoustic analysis com?bined with EGG provide objective indicators to assess degree of hoarseness, and to provide sonic evidences for prevention, recurrence, assessment and pronunciation correction of the larynx leukoplakia.

OBJECTIVETo study the influence of conditioned medium of rat brain microvascular endothelial cells on mitochondrial function of cortical neurons and the protective effect of Tongluo Jiunao Injection (TJI) on it.

METHODSFour kinds of conditioned endothelial cell (EC) cultured medium were prepared, i.e. the N-CM medium prepared by EC cultured in the normal conditioned medium without any treatment; the NT-CM prepared by EC cultured in N-CM and treated with TJI 1 microl/ml for 10 h; the I-CM prepared by EC cultured in the non-glucose kreb medium under hypoxia condition; and the IT-CM by EC pre-treatce with TJI 1 microl/ml for 4 h and cultured as that of I-CM. The levels of neuronic mitochondrial activity, membrane potential (MMP) and cytochrome C (Cyt C) were determined before and after the glucose-oxygen deprived model neurons of brain cortex being cultured with different kinds of conditioned EC cultured medium for assessing the effects of these media on mitochondria of injured neuron.

RESULTSAs compared with those of the normal neuron, the mitochondrial activity and MMP of all injured neurons decreased and Cyt C level increased significantly. But comparison of these indexes among neurons cultured with different conditioned EC culture media showed that the greatest extent abnormality revealed in the N-CM cultured neurons, which even greater than that in the model neuron; while that was less in the N-CM cutured neuron than in model neuron; as for those cultured in the NT-CM and IT-CM, i.e. the TJI treated cuture medium, the abnormal changes were reduced significantly when compared with those cultured in medium untreated with TJI (N-CM and I-CM), respectively (all P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe paracrine secretion of the brain microvascular endothelial cells has evident regulatory effect on survival of the injured neurons, which might possibly be related to its protective effect on neuron mitochondrial function, and TJI could enhance the protective effect.
