Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION)is a common optic neuropathy seriously affecting the visual function in the middle-aged and elderly population.However,its pathogenesis is not completely clear,and therefore its treating efficacy is dissatisfactory.The current study on NAION is focused on the establishment of suitable animal model and the pathogenesis.In recent years,the relatively ideal animal models(including rodent and primate) have been established by photodynamic methods,which make people have more in-depth understanding on the pathophysiologic mechanism of NAION and lay the basis for the research of therapies.The selection of experimental animals,various induction methods and existing problems in the creation of NAION animal model were reviewed and analyzed in this artical.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of early rehabilitation on poststroke anxiety and depression.Methods137 stroke patients with hemiplegia were divided into the rehabilitation group (70 cases) and control group (67 cases). All patients in both two groups were given routine clinical treatment, but the patients in the rehabilitation group were given regular early rehabilitation. All patients were evaluated with Bathel Index (BI), Fugl-Meyer Motor Scale (FMMS), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) before and 3 months after treatment.ResultsAfter 3 months treatment, the scores of HAMD, HAMA, BI and FMMS of patients in the rehabilitation group increased significantly compared with those before treatment ( P<0.05～0.01), and those in the control group ( P<0.05). The scores of BI and FMMS of patients in the control group after treatment also increased significantly compared with those before treatment ( P<0.05). The incidences of depression and anxiety of the rehabilitation group were 22.86% and 5.71%, those of the control group were 40.30% and 16.42%, there was a significant difference between two groups( P<0.05).ConclusionThe early rehabilitation can obviously decrease anxiety and depression of stroke patients with hemiplegia.

Objective To explore whether arsenic trioxide(As2O3)-induced apopotosis in drug-resistant leukemia K562/ADM cells may induce in through endoplasmic reticulum stress leukemia cell apopotosis.Methods The apoptosis of K562/ADM cells was identified by double staining of FITC-Annexin V and propidium iodide(PI),the ultrastructure of the cells,endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria were observed by transmission electron microscopy.Flow cytometry(FCM) was employed to assess mitochondrial inner membrane potential(??m),intracellular calcium concentration,cytochrome c(Cyt c) release and caspase-3 activity.The expression of GRP78 protein was analyzed by Western blot.Results During the apoptotic process of K562/ADM cells induced with 2 ?mol/L and 5 ?mol/L As2O3,the endoplasmic reticulum exhibited obvious expansion and degranulation,and the mitochondria illustrated inner and outer membranes fusion,reduced and confused cristae,swelling and vacuolization.The mitochondrial ??m decreased,the intracellular calcium concentration and releasing of cytochrome c from mitochondria increased,and caspase-3 was activated.Western blot result indicated upregulation of GRP78 protein at endoplas-mic reticulum in apopototic K562/ADM cells.Conclusion As2O3 can initiate the endoplasmic reticulum stress in K562/ADM cells,and induces to apoptosis of the drug-resistant cell via endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondrial pathway.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate in vitro effect of abnormal savda munziq (ASMq) on the proliferation and apoptosis of human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSFs).

METHODSHSFs were divided into six groups to receive different treatments as group A (blank control group), group B-E (ASMq in different concentration), and group F(5-Fu). Each group contains six specimens. The HSFs were cultured in vitro. After culture for 48 hours, the CCK8 test and flow cytometry methods were used to detect the proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis.

RESULTSThe proliferation of HSFs in the B, C, D and E groups was inhibited at G2/M period, while it was inhibited at G0/S period in group F (P < 0.05). The inhibition effect of ASMq (0.1-1.0 mg/ml) on the fibroblasts enhanced in a concentration-dependent manner. Flow cytometry analysis with annexin V-FITC and PI staining confirmed the apoptotic. When HSFs were exposed to ASMq at 1.0 mg/ml (group E) for 48 h, the percentage of apoptotic cells increased to (43.7 +/- 2.58)%, which was significantly higher than that of blank control group (2.2 +/- 0.59)%. The induced apoptosis effect was also increased in a concentration-dependent manner.

CONCLUSIONASMq has a inhibitory effect on the proliferation and an enhancement effect on the apoptosis of fibroblast. ASMq could be used as an effective drug for treatment of hypertrophic scar.

Objective To evaluate the method of detecting antibodies to Bacillus anthracis by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)using crude antigen.Methods The anti-Bacillus anthracis antibody levels in sera of 42 healthy people and 42 patients were detected by indirect ELISA.Standard curve was plotted using the data from positive controls,based on which the relative content of each serum was calculated and compared with the result of rLF.Results The median of antibody's relative content in patient group and healthy people group are 1.19 and 0.24,the differences being statistically significant(uc=7.643,P＜0.05).The result of crude antigen is in concordance with rLF(but not parallel absolutely).Conclusions Crude antigen can distinguish most of patients with healthy population effectively.The results suggested that crude antigen is applicable in anti-Bacillus anthracis antibody surveillance.

Objective To investigate the influence of total progressively motile sperm count(TPMSC) after treatment on clinical outcomes of intrauterine insemination(IUI) with the husband′s sperm in ovulation-promoting cycles.Methods The clinical data in 4179 cases undergoing IUI with the husband′s sperm in ovulation-promoting cycles were retrospectively analyzed.The correlation between clinical pregnancy rate and TPMSC was analyzed.Results Among all the clinical data,TPMSC was to 100×106 in occasional live sperm.TPMSC<0.15×106 was in 15 cases,1 case had pregnancy (live sperm was occasionally seen on IUI day after sperm processing).Ten cases of TPMSC >60×106 had no pregnancy.A total of 4 154 cases of TPMSC (0.15-60.00)×106 were analyzed.The female age,duration of infertility,number of follicles and endometrial thickness(EDM) had no statistical differences among various groups.The clinical pregnancy rate was 13.5%(576/4 154),the group with the highest clinical pregnancy rate was (5.00-<10.00)×106.But there was no statistically significant difference in clinical pregnancy rate among groups(P=0.133).Conclusion Performing IUI in PMSC (0.15-60.00)×106 after processing can get preferable pregnancy rates.

Objective: To explore the necessity of multi-slice CT (MSCT) and echocardiogram in diagnosing multiple cardiac myxoma or myxoma originated from special site of heart via analyzing medical imaging features. Methods: A total of 14 patients with multiple cardiac myxoma or myxoma not originated from left atrium fossa ovale were studied; the patients had operation conifrmed diagnosis in our hospital from 2003-02 to 2015-12, the imaging features of MSCT and echocardiography were analyzed and compared. Results: There were 12/14 patients diagnose by echocardiography with the accuracy of 85.7% and 11 patients diagnosed by MSCT with the accuracy of 84.6%. MSCT and echocardiography had similar pre-operative accuracy and complimentary advantages for diagnosing multiple cardiac myxoma or myxoma not originated from regular site of heart. Echocardiography was superior for examining the motion, pedicle position, shape and attachment point of cardiac myxoma; MSCT may exclude pulmonary embolism and coronary artery disease at meanwhile. Conclusion: Unconventional cardiac myxoma not only has similar image signs to typical single myxoma from left atrium, but also has the speciifc features; MSCT combining echocardiogram examinations could make more accurate diagnosis and provide a better condition for surgical treatment.
