Background Many kindof cells,cytokineand extracellulamatrix components,such aconnective tissue growth facto(CTGF) and fibronectin (FN),can regulate and controll the formation and developmenof epiretinal membrane.Iiimportanto investigate the morphology and pathology of epiretinal membrane fothe prevention of relevanretinopathies.Objective Thistudy wato investigate the expression of CTGF and FN in differentypeand stageof epiretinal membranes.MethodEpiretinal membranewere collected during vitrectomy and silicon oil removal surgery from 24 eyeof 24 casewith rhegmatogenouretinal detachment(RRD) (including 14 eyewith courses＜90 dayand 10 eyewith course≥ 90 days),20 eyeof 20 casewith diabetiretinopathy (DR)associated with vitreouhemorrhage and tractional RD (course≥ 90 days)and 7 eyeof 7 casewith silicon oil tamponade (course≥ 90 days).The grading of the proliferative vitroretinopathy (PVR) wa＞C2 in all the eyes.Histopathological examination waperformed to assesthe pathological elemenin the differentypeand stageof epiretinal membrane,and the differential expressionof CTGF and FN in the varioutypeof epiretinal membranewere detected by immunochemistry.The amounof cellpositive foCTGF and FN wacompared using the FisheExacProbability method.ResultHistopathological examination showed thaincrease in the numbeof RPE celland inflammatory cellwaprimary characteristiin the epithelial membrane of RRD with courses＜90 days,buthere were loof neurogliocyteand fibroblastin the RRD group with course≥ 90 days.In addition,the infiltration of inflammatory cellwapredominanin the RRD and Dgroups,bufibroplasiwaobviouin the silicon oil tamponade group.When the course wa≥ 90 days,7 eye(70.0％)in the RRD group wapositive foCTGF,and 18 eyes(90.0％)in the Dgroup and 2 eyes(28.6％)in the silicon oil tamponade group were positive foCTGF,with significandifference among them(P=0.037).In regardto FN,9 eyeshowed expression in the RRD group(90.0％),18 eyein the Dgroup(90.0％)and 7 eyein the silicon oil tamponade group(100.0％),withousignificandifference among them (P =0.379).In the RRD group,7 eyewith course≥ 90 dayand 13 eyewith courses＜90 days(92.9％)were positive foCTGF,showing significandifference between them(P =0.032).AfoFN,9 eye(90.0％)with course≥ 90 dayshowed positivity,which wasignificantly highethan the 7 eyewith courses＜90 day(50.0％) (P =0.019).ConclusionThe expression of CTGF in epiretinal membranevariewith the disease type and course duration,buthe expression of FN in epiretinal membrane varieonly with the course duration.

The spores suspension of Streptomyces roseosporus D-38 irritated with 20mW He-Ne laser for 20 min were incubated on G1 medium plates containing 1. 9?g/mL of streptomycin. Ten percent of mutants increased the potency of daptomycin by streptomycin-resistance method, including the mutant LC-54, which could produce daptomycin 81. 2 mg/L, which was 39% higher than that of the beginning strain by flask fermentation.

OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical effects of circumcision and the foreskin-deglove plus shaft-fix (FDSF) procedure in the treatment of phimosis or redundant prepuce in obese adult males (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 28 kg/m²).

METHODSForty-four obese adult men with phimosis or redundant prepuce underwent circumcision (n = 24) or FDSF (n = 20) according to their own wishes. The patients in the circumcision and FDSF groups were aged (26.38 ± 4.24) and (26.90 ± 3.14) years, with BMIs of (27.77 ± 0.77) and (28.07 ± 2.28) kg/m² and penis lengths of (3.51 ± 0.46) and (3.50 ± 0.59) cm, respectively. The operations were performed under local anesthesia with lidocaine plus ropivacaine mesylate.

RESULTSThe operation time of circumcision was (28.04 ± 2.65) min and that of FDSF was (45.45 ± 3.49) min. At 6 months after surgery, normal penile erection was found in all the patients, the penis length was significantly longer in the FDSF than in the circumcision group ([5.01 ± 0.73] vs [3.70 ± 0.47] cm) , and the rate of satisfaction with penile appearance was markedly higher in the former than in the latter group (3.25 ± 0.71 vs 2.83 ± 0.56).

CONCLUSIONThe foreskin-deglove plus shaft-fix procedure under local anesthesia with lidocaine and ropivacaine mesylate may achieve desirable penile erection and appearance in the treatment of phimosis or redundant prepuce in obese adult patients.

By summarizing the recent literatures on brain mechanisms with acupuncture intervention based on blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD)-functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the BOLD-fMRI examination and analysis methods, the points to be acupunctured, the corresponding meridian activation regions, the specific intensity range, functions and indications of the acupoints, the manifestation of 'bi-directional regulation' characteristics, fMRI performance of chronergy, laterality and needling qi of acupuncture were reviewed to provide the ideas for future research in this area.

This study aimed to explore the impact of depression caused by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) on in vivo activity of six kinds of CYP450 isoforms in rats. According to 'Katz' method, the model of CUMS was established. Tolbutamide, chlorzoxazone, theophylline, midazolam, omeprazole and dextromethorphan were chosen as probe substrates of CYP2C6, CYP2E1, CYP1A2, CYP3A2, CYP2D1 and CYP2D2 of rats. Plasma concentration of six kinds of CYP450 in control group and model group were determined by LC-MS/MS and computed pharmacokinetic parameters. Consequently, metabolism of theophylline and chlorzoxazone accelerated significantly (P < 0.01), but tolbutamide, dextromethorphan, omeprazole and midazolam had no significant difference. The present study proved that depression caused by CUMS had strong induction to CYP1A2 and medium induction to CYP2E1.
