Background Retinal Müller cells can offer nutrient and maintain the normal structure of retina.Researches showed that the abnormality of Müiller cells leads to retinal vascular disease.To explore the effect of high glaucoma on retinal Müller cells is of a very important significance for the study on diabetic retinopathy (DR).Objective This study was to investigate the effects of different concentrations of glucose on retinal Müller cells in vitro.Methods Retinal tissue was isolated from 1 10-day-oM clean SD rat.Mtiller cells were cultured by explant culture method and passaged in DMEM containing 20％ fetal bovine serum.The third generation of cells were obtained and identified using glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) staning.Then,5.5,30.0 and 40.0 mmol/L glucose were added into the culture medium for 4 days respectively.The proliferation (A570) of Müller cells was detected by MTT,and apoptosis rate of Müller cells was calculated by flow cytometer to evaluate the effects of 5.5,30.0 and 40.0 mmol/L glucose to cell vitality.Results Cultured and passaged cells grew well with the spindle shape.The positive reactive cells were ＞95％ for GFAP.The A570 value of Müller cells was 0.24±0.01,0.21±0.03 and 0.20±0.02 in 5.5,30.0 and 40.0 mmol/L glucose group respectively,showing a significant difference among the three groups(F=6.755,P＜0.05).Compared with 5.5 mmol/L glucose group,As70 values were significantly lower in 30.0and 40.0 mmol/L glucose group (q =0.645,0.486,P ＜ 0.05).Apoptosis rates of Miiller cells were (26.40 ±0.25)％,(30.19±0.16)％ and (36.23±0.19)％ in 5.5,30.0 and 40.0mmol/L glucose groups,with a significant difference among them (F =294.530,P＜0.05),and those in 30.0 and 40.0 mmol/L glucose groups were significantly reduced in comparison with 40.0 mmol/L glucose group (q =0.754,0.484,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions High concentration of glucose inhibits the viability and promote the apoptosis of retinal Müller cells at a concentrationdependent manner.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on noise-induced hearing loss in guinea pigs.Methods Twenty-four adult male guinea pigs,aged 3 months,weighing 400-500 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:dexmedetomdine group (group D),noise-induced hearing loss group (group N) and dexmedetomidine + noise-induced hearing loss group (group DN).A loading dose of dexmedetomidine 5 μg/kg was infused over 5 min,followed by 135 min of infusion at a rate of 10 μg· kg-1 · h-1.The equal volume of normal saline was infused in group N.Groups N and DN were exposed to noise of 4 kHz center frequency and 118-122 dB SPL for 120 min starting from 20 min of administration.Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and cochlear blood flow (COBF) were recorded before administration and every 5 min during drug administration.The changing rate of COBF was calculated.Arterial blood samples were collected for determination of plasma concentration of noradrenaline (NE) by high performance liquid chromatography at 20 and 140 min of administration.Auditory brainstem response (ABR) threshold was recorded before administration and at 1 and 72 h and 10 days after the end of administration.Results Compared with group N,MAP was significantly decreased,the changing rate of COBF was increased at 5-10 min and 30-140 min of administration,ABR threshold was decreased at 1 and 72 h and 10 days after the end of administration,and the plasma concentration of NE was decreased at 140 min of administration in D + N group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can attenuate noise-induced hearing loss in guinea pigs possibly through inhibiting activation of sympathetic nerves and increasing COBF.

The computerized imitating system constructed by the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University contains four blocks:administration of student infomation,administration of question bank,on-line tests and administration of score inquiry.It's designed to imitate typical pediatric cases,so that the medical students may put themselves into the practical clinical scenario and solve the challenges step by step in one-direction procedure.Teaching with computerized clinical scenario imitating patients can improve students' test resuhs and activate students' learning enthusiasm significantly.It not only helps to solve the contradiction between increasing number of medical students and clinical typical teaching case shortage but also improves the clinical thinking ability of the medical students.This system can also be used as a test bank for pediatric technical skills examination.

Objective To understand the situation of iodine deficiency disorders of Cangzhou city, Hebei province, in order to provide the scientific basis for prevention and control of iodine deficiency disorders. Methods From 2007 to 2009, dynamic monitoring of iodine deficiency disorders was carried out in low iodized salt coverage places Hejian city and Xian county. Nine towns were randomly chosen in each county, 4 administrative villages were randomly selected in each town, 8 household salts were tested in each village. Every year, 1 - 3 copies of residents water samples were collected for determination of iodine; more than 100 students age 8 - 10 years old were checked the situation of goiter and urinary iodine, more than 40 students selected were measured iodine content of salt from their home; more than 50 women of childbearing age 18 - 40 years were tested of urinary iodine. Thyroid was examined with palpation; water iodine and urine iodine concentration were measured with arsenic-Ce catalytic spectrophotometry; salt iodine was detected by direct titration. Results From 2007 to 2009,median household salt iodine were 4.3,15.9,3.6,18.4,4.6,11.7 mg/kg in Hejian city and Xian county, respectively,iodized salt accounted for 34.03% (98/288), 78.82% (227/288), 29.86% (86/288), 84.72% (244/288), 37.15%(107/288),49.31% (142/288), respectively, the consuming rate of iodized salt were 27.08% (78/288),36.46%( 105/288 ), 28.13% (81/288 ), 49.31% ( 142/288 ), 37.15 % ( 107/288 ), 30.90% ( 89/288 ), respectively. Ten samples of drinking water were tested, water iodine were 5.5 - 34.4 μg/L. From 2007 to 2009, the goiter rate of students aged 8 - 10 years old was below 5%, the median of urinary iodine were 138.1,176.6,112.0 μg/L, ＜ 100 μg/L ratio were 31.6% ( 65/206 ), 25.0% ( 52/208 ) and 44.4% (91/205 ). The median of urinary iodine of child-bearing age women were 167.3,164.2,78.1 μg/L, ＜ 100 μg/L ratio were 28.7%(29/101 ), 19.2%(20/104) and 60.0%(60/100).Conclusions In areas with low coverage of iodized salt, iodine nutrition level are affected, the child-bearing age

Objective To investigate the risk factors of pulmonary fungal infection in intensive care unit(ICU),and discuss the strategy of prevention and treatment.Methods Forty children with pulmonary fungal infection in ICU of Wuhan Children's Hospital from Jan.2003 to Jan.2007 were analyzed retrospectively,including primarily diseases,application of antibiotics,adrenal cortical hormone and virulence operation,therapy and turnover.Results All children were accepted the therapies of broad spectrum antibiotics and glucocorticoids for long time before definite diagnosis of pulmonary fungal infection.Seventy-five percent children were received invasive operations or therapies.Their average time of stayed in hospital was 37.8 d.The clinical symptoms and imaging examinations were untypical.Blastomyces albicans was the main pathogen.After the antifungal agents and supportive treatment used in time,35 cases(87.5%) were cured and 5 cases(12.5%) died.Conclusions The major risk factors of children pulmonary fungal infection are long-time use of broad spectrum antibiotics and glucocorticoids.The pulmonary fungal infection can decrease by rational use of broad spectrum antibiotics and glucocorticoids,decreasing the unnecessary invasive operations,strengthening the supportive therapies of micro-ecosystem,and applying the antifungal agents in time.

ObjectiveTo observe the influence of rehabilitation training on heart rate of stroke patients in the early stage.MethodsThe heart rate (HR) of 30 patients within one week after the onset of stroke was evaluated by FUKUDA DS 880A teleelectrocardiograph and the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was collected during practicing bridging, rolling and moving the arms.ResultsThe HR of 30 patients was only increased 7.57, 6.23 and 6.57 beats per minute during practicing bridging, rolling and moving the arms. RPE of all patients was less than 11.ConclusionAppropriate rehabilitation training is safety and unable to increase the loading of heart in the early stage after the onset of stroke.
