Objective To observe the long-term effect of suramin on the inhibition of proliferation of human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells in vitro. Methods RPE cells grown in 9 pieces of 96-well plate (12 wells each plate) were divided into experimental and control group, with 6 wells in each group. The concentration of 0.1 ml RPE cells in each well is 5?104 cells/ml. After the change of the medium, RPE cells were treated with suramin (250 ?g/ml) in experimental group while treated with nothing in the control group. The medium of the 2 groups were changed to the normal medium after 4 days. At the 1~st , 2~nd , and 4~th day after the addition of suramin and at the 1~st , 2~nd , 3~rd , 5~th , 6~th , 7~th , 9~th , 11~th and 13~th day after removing suramin, 1 plate was randomly selected to stop culturing, and the proliferation of RPE cells were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Results Under reversed microscope, RPE cells in control group were fused completely at the 7~th day after inoculation. The extracellular space of RPE cells in experimental groups was larger than that in the control group, and remained unfused at the 13~th day after inoculation. The inhibitory rate of proliferation of RPE cells at the first day after treated with suramin was 14.85% and increased to the highest 25.79% at the 4~th day. The first day after the suramin-containing media was removed, the inhibitory rate decreased to 12.35%, and then raised gradually to over 20% at the 3~rd to 5~th day. Finally, the rate drop to 14.71%. Conclusion Suramin has the long-term effect on the inhibition of RPE cells induced by serum, especially the inhibitive effect after the remove of suramin, which indicates the specific double-peak inhibition during the whole process.

Objective To observe the ultrastructural characteristics of human retinal progenitor cells cultured in vitro. Methods Six 5-month-old human fetuses(12 eyes)without eye diseases were selected. Retinal progenitor cells from the retina of one eye of each fetus were cultured in vitro,and observed by transmission electronic microscopy(TEM); while those from the other eye were directly observed by TEM. Results Abundant heterochromatin were found in the karyon of 5-month embryonic retinal neuroepithelial cells,and the figure of the karyons was irregular.A few scattered initial cells were seen in retinal neuroepithelial layer with large karyon,smooth surface,abundant euchromatin,and distinct nucleolus.The human retinal progenitor cells cultured in vitro had the same ultrastructural characteristics as the initial cells:with huge karyon which almost occupied the whole cell,little cytoplasm,distint nucleolus,abundant euchromatin,and little heterochromatin.The cells clung to each other in the neural globoid cell mass.The size of the outer cells was large,and karyokinesis could be found. Conclusion The cultured human retinal progenitor cells are provided with the same ultrastructure characteristics as the initial cells.

OBJECTIVE:To observe analgesic effect and safety of ketorolac tromethamine combined with butorphanol tartrate in the treatment of acute pain after fracture surgery. METHODS:76 acute pain patients after fracture surgery were selected and ran-domly divided into control group and observation group,with 38 cases in each group. Control group was given Ketorolac trometh-amine injection 30 mg,ivgtt,and then 2 ml/h,0.5 mg/kg,ivgtt;observation group was additionally given butorphanol tartrate 10 mg,ivgtt,on the basis of control group. Pain degree was evaluated with VAS before and 10 min,1,2,4 and 6 h after treatment, and the occurrence of ADR was observed in 2 groups. RESULTS:10 min,1,2,4 and 6 h after treatment,VAS score of 2 groups were significantly lower than before,with statistical significance(P<0.05);6 h after treatment,VAS score of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05);there was no statistical significance in VAS score between 2 groups 10 min,1,2 and 4 h after treatment (P>0.05). The incidence of ADR in observation group (5.26%)was significantly lower than in control group(21.05%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Com-pared with ketorolac tromethamine alone,ketorolac tromethamine combined with butorphanol tartrate shows shorter analgesia dura-tion,similar therapeutic efficacy,and lower incidence of ADR.

Aim To investigate the interaction between regulatory proteins related to the activation of eNOS and CYP4A/20-HETE.Methods The endothelia of pulmonary artery of new born bovine were cultured and divided into four groups: controlling group: ethanol solvent as vehicle (the volume is the same with 1?10~ -6 mol?L~ -1 20-HETE) was added to culture dish and incubated for 10 min; 20-HETE 5 min treatment group:1?10~ -6 mol?L~ -1 20-HETE was added to culture dish and incubated for 5 min; 20-HETE 10 min treatment group:1?10~ -6 mol?L~ -1 20-HETE was added to culture dish and incubated for 10 min; VEGF 10 min treatment group: 1?10~ -8 mol?L~ -1 VEGF was added to culture dish and incubated for 10 min. CYP4A,eNOS and proteins related to the activation of eNOS were measured by Immunoprecipitating and immunobloting.Results Expressions of eNOS and phospho-eNOS(Ser1177)in PAECs were upregulated after the cells were treated with 20-HETE, and similar phenomena were observed when 20-HETE was replaced by VEGF; 20-HETE increased the binding of Hsp、Akt and eNOS.Conclusions ①20-HETE phosphorylates eNOS at Ser1177 site which activates the eNOS to catalyze L-aginine to produce nitric oxide.②eNOS binds with Hsp90 and Akt in endothelial cell of pulmonary artery and 20-HETE increase the binding. ③eNOS binds with CYP4A in endothelial cell of pulmonary artery.

Objective To study the effects of Qingjinkangkuoyin (QJKKY) on TNF-α and NE in rats with bronchiectasis.Methods Models were established by intrabronchially injecting with pseudomonas aeruginosa,and divided into 5 groups by random:the QJKKY high dose treatment group (given high dose of QJKKY into stomach),the QJKKY low dose treatment group (given low dose of QJKKY),the levofloxacin group (given levofloxacin),the model group (given normal saline),and the normal contrast group (given normal saline).After 2 weeks of treatment,the histopathology of lung tissue,the levels of TNF-α and inflammatory cells in peripheral blood and NE in rats' lung tissue were detected.Results Compared with the model group (160.425±9.9293)ng/L,QJKKY could decrease the level of TNF-α in blood significantly [high dose of QJKKY treatment group was (137.133±6.1646)ng/L,P＜0.05]; the expression of inflammatory cells in serum were decreased significantly by QJKKY [high dose of QJKKY treatment group was (1.106± 0.3580) 109/L,P＜0.05].Low dose of QJKKY treatment group was (1.086 ±0.2433) 109/L,(P＜0.05) ; the expression of NE in lung tissue were decreased remarkably by QJKKY [high dose of QJKKY treatment group(80.697 ±4.5877)ng/L,P＜0.05]; low dose of QJKKY treatment group is (80.747±3.6925)ng/L,(P＜0.05); and the histopathologic change of lung tissue in QJKKY treatment groups were ameliorated under light microscope by HE staining.Conclusion Qingjinkangkuoyin could cure bronchiectasis by decreasing the expression of TNF-αin peripheral blood and NE in rats' lung tissue.

Objective: To explore the effects of hydrogen sulfide (H 2S) on hypoxic pulmonary vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) apoptosis in rats. Methods: Twenty four Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups: control group ( n =8), hypoxia group ( n =8), and hypoxia +NaHS group ( n =8). The plasma level of H 2S was determined by methylene blue spectrophotometric method. VSMC apoptosis was measured by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL). The protein expressions of Bcl 2, Fas and caspase 3 in pulmonary arteries were detected by immunohistochemical technique. Results: Compared with rats in the control group, the plasma level of H 2S decreased by 36% in rats of hypoxic group . The apoptotic rate per area in VSMCs detected with TUNEL was significantly decreased by 52.9% in rats of hypoxic group . The expressing integral score of Bcl 2 of VSMCs was increased by 123.9%,while Fas protein expression of VSMCs was decreased by 45% and caspase 3 protein expression of VSMCs was not significantly changed in rats of hypoxia group. But compared with rats in the hypoxia group, the plasma level of H 2S increased by 65% in rats of hypoxia+NaHS group. The apoptotic rate in VSMCs of TUNEL was significantly increased by 62.5% in rats of hypoxia+NaHS group. The Bcl 2 protein expression of VSMCs was decreased by 36.4% in rats of hypoxia+NaHS group. The expressing integral scores of Fas and caspase 3 were significantly higher in rats of hypoxia+NaHS group than in those of hypoxia group. Conclusion: Hypoxia decreased the pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell apoptosis. H 2S inhibited Bcl 2 protein expression of VSMCs and activated Fas and caspase-3 protein expressions of VSMCs, and therefore promoted the pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell apoptosis.

Objective To establish diagnosis model and explore related metabolic pathways by analyzing the serum metabolic profile of patients with primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) through metabolomics.Methods Thirty PNS patients hospitalized in Huai'an First People's Hospital between December 2010 and April 2012 were enrolled.High performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was employed to detect metabolites in the serum of 30 PNS patients and 30 healthy controls.Metabolic fingerprint profiling and multivariate pattern recognition analysis were combined to establish disease-specific metabolic diagnosis model,and metabolic pathway analysis was performed.Results PNS group and control group could be well separated by principal component analysis (PCA) model as well as partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) model with Q2 of 0.300.There was well interpretation in PLA-DA model (R2X=0.581,R2Y=0.452).Compared with healthy controls,PNS patients had decreased cholestane 3,7,12,15 alcohol,acyl glycerine,phytosphingosine and tryptophan,and increased sphingomyelin,arginine and glutamic acid (all VIP ＞ 1,P ＜ 0.05).The metabolic disorders pathways of PNS patients included sphingolipid metabolism,arginine and proline metabolism,linoleic acid metabolism and pyrimidine metabolism (all impact ＞0.10 and P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Metabolomics combined with multivariate pattern recognition analysis may be a new tool for diagnosis and monitoring of PNS.
