Objective: To investigate the protective effect of deferoxamine preconditioning against hypoxia injury in astrocytes and the underlying mechanisms. Methods: Astrocytes were cultured under ischemia stress, which was mimicked by oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) with deferoxamine. Astrocytes were divided into three groups: normally cultured group; Deferoxamine pretreated group: astrocytes were pretreated with Deferoxamine and then treated with Deferoxamine OGD; and OGD group; astrocytes were treated with Deferoxamine OGD. The cell viability examination, the ratio of condensed nuclei, and the morphological changes were used to assess the protective effect of deferoxamine. The expression of HIF-1a and EPO protein and mRNA in astrocytes was examined by immunofluorescence staining and RT-PCR, respectively. Results: The morphology of AS in the deferoxamine pretreated group kept intact. AS viability in deferoxamine pretreated group was 58% of the normally cultured group, and that in the OGD group was 25% of the normally cultured group (P<0. 05). The ratio of condensed nuclei in deferoxamine pretreated group was 38% and that in OGD group was 30% (P<0. 05). Immunofluorescence staining found that expression HIF-1a, and EPO protein appeared in cultured astrocytes after deferoxamine pretreatment. RT-PCR confirmed that mRNA of HIF-1a and EPO was up-regulated after deferoxamine pretreatment. Conclusion: Deferoxamine preconditioning can protect the astrocytes from hypoxia damage, which is related to deferoxamine-induced increase of HIF-1a and EPO expression.

AIM: To investigate the difference of cognitive impairment and depression between age-related macular degeneration ( AMD ) group and the control group patients. ·METHODS: A prospective case-control study was performed from November 2014 to August 2016 in the hospital for AMD patients and sex-matched control group. The Mini-Mental State Examination ( MMSE) and the Geriatric Depression Scale ( GDS ) score of each patient were collected for statistical analyzing. ·RESULTS: There were total 84 cases ( 168 eyes ) included in the study. The difference of visual acuity between the two group was statistically significant ( F=8. 953, P=0. 004) by baseline data analyzing. There were no significant differences in MMSE scores between the two groups according to educational status ( P>0. 05 ) , while the prevalence of cognitive impairment in each group was statistically significant (x2 =4. 14, P=0. 042). The difference of GDS scores, prevalence of total and mild depression between two groups were both statistically significant (F=5. 852, P=0. 018; x2=6. 372, P=0. 012; x2 = 5. 674, P = 0. 017 ). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of moderate to severe depression (x2=0. 672, P=0. 412). ·CONCLUSION: AMD patients have a higher prevalence of depression. Although MMSE score differences were not statistically significant in subgroup analysis by educational levels, AMD patients are more likely to have cognitive impairment overall.

Objective To investigate the distribution of pathogenic bacteria of vaginal discharge in bacterial vaginosis.Methods The results of bacterial culture and drug sensitive tests of vaginal discharge from patients with bacterial vaginosis were analyzed.Results The positive rate of bacteria culture of vaginal discharge was 79.3%(115/145).The dominant bacteria were staphylococcus epidermidis 27.0%(31/115),staphylococcus intermedius and staphylococcus aureus 13.0%(15/115),which were obviously higher than other germs.The drug sensitive tests showed that staphylococcus were relatively sensitive to vancomycin,fosfomycin,amikacin and rifampin.But the drug resistance to penicillin,tetracycline,erythromycin and oxacillin was the highest.Conclusion The kinds of pathogenic bacteria in vaginal discharge are various.The main bacterium is staphylococcus,and drug resistance is very severe.The isolation and drug sensitive test of pathogenic bacteria play an important role in diagnosis and treatment of gynecological disease.

Objective To detect the effect of leptin on proliferation and c.Myc mRNA expression of human colon carcinoma HT-29 cell line and investigate the role of Leptin in the development of the HT-29 cell line.Methods Human colon carcinoma HT-29 cell line was cultured in vitro.After treatment with various concentration of Leptin for 72h.MTr was used to detect the proliferative and inhibitive status.And c-myc mRNA-expression Was detected by RT-PCR.Results After treatment with various concentration of Leptin.The cell pmlifemtion and c-myc mRNA expression Wag obviously promoted,compared with the control group.The effect wag in a time-dose-dependent manner within a certain range.Conclusion Leptin can improve cell proliferation and c-myc gene expression level in HT-29 cell line.Promoting the c-myc gene expression level may be one of the reasons that Leptin improves the proliferation of the human colon carcinoma HT-29 cell line.

Purpose:The value of color doppler ultrasonography( CDUS) in monitoring hemodynamic changes was investigated in patients with hyperdynamic circulatory state before and during 730 days after orthotopic liver transplantation.Materials and Methods:83 cases of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) were examined by CDUS to assess the hemodynamic changes of portal vein,hepatic artery,splenic artery and longitudinal diameter of the spleen ( LDS).Results:(1) Portal flow velocity ( PFV) was significantly lower in pre-OLT but higher than controls (P < 0.05 ) during 730 days after OLT.Resistance index of the hepatic artery ( HARI) in pre-OLT and within 7 days- after OLT was significantly higher (P<0.05).(2) Resistance index of splenic artery ( SARI) was also significantly higher in pre-OLT (P < 0.05 ).LDS was significantly higher after OLT than in both pre-OLT phase and controls(P<0.05).Conclusions: In early stage after OLT,HARI changed from high to low value and so did PFV,which kept the stability of hepatic blood flow.In late stage,high PFV and large spleen improved,but could not back to normal.

Objective: To detect methylation status of p16 CDKN2A exon 1 during experimental carcinogenesis in rats. Methods:Thirty male clean SD rats were fed with 0.02 g/L of 4-nitroquinoline-oxide (4NQO) in drinking water.13, 16 and 24 weeks after experiment the normal, moderate-severe dysplasia and invasive squamous cell carcinoma tissues were removed from their tongues respectively; then the methylation status of p16 CDKN2A exon 1 were detected by methylation-specific PCR(MSP). Results:A 123 bp-unmethylated product was amplified in all samples but the methylated product was not detected in any of the samples. Conclusion: The p16 CDKN2A exon 1 appeares to be unmethylated during carcinogenesis of tongue cancer in experimental rats.

The effect of protein-free calf blood extract eye gel (83. 3%) group was prior to that of bFGF (69%) for corneal epithelial defect. The effective rate of protein-free calf blood extract eye gel in the herpes simplex keratitis, chemical injury and pterygium operation injury was 72. 4%,69. 2% and 95. 2%. Localized stimulus and adverse reaction of all over the body were not been observed.
CONCLUSlON: Protein-free calf blood extract eye gels is valuable and safe for corneal epithelial defect.

·α-crystallin is the predominant structural protein in the lens.lt is a member of small heat shock proteins ( sHSPs) which has the common functions of HSPs.lt also has anti-apoptotic activity etc.Recently, it has been proved to combine with the cellular membrane of retinal ganglion cells ( RGCs ) to enhance the survival of RGCs and the regeneration of axons, thereby partly restore visual function.But we haven’t come to a unified conclusion of the mechanism.This review is focused on structure and functions of α-crystallin, the protection function and mechanism of α-crystallin towards RGCs after the optic nerve injury.
