Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 1999;0(02):-
Objective To investigate the effect of long-term intraocular retention of domestic perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) on morphology and histology of ocular tissues. Methods A total of 18 New-Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 3 experimental groups, whose left eyes underwent intraocular injection with 0.3, 0.6, and 1.0 ml PFCL, respectively. All of the right eyes of the rabbits were in the control group. The morphological, electrophysiological and histological changes of the ocular tissue were observed 4, 8, and 12 weeks after the injection. Results No clinically significant retinopathy but only mild morphological changes were found in group 1 and 2, while obvious morphological and histological changes were found in group 3. Mild morphological and histological changes were found in all of the rabbits 4-8 weeks after the injection while significant ones were found 8-12 weeks after the injection. The results of electroretinography indicated a statistically significant decline of amplitude of b wave in group 3. Conclusions Long-term intraocular retention of few PFCL may cause mild histological changes but not affect the clinical function. Plentiful PFCL remains in eyes may lead to toxic reaction to the ocular tissue.

Feature extraction of event-related potentials (ERP) plays an important part in both basic and clinical researches for cerebral neurophysiology. ICA is a method for separating blind signals based on signal statistic characteristics. In this paper, the fundamental principle, the discrimination condition and the practical algorithm of Independent Component Analysis are discussed. Then, a fast Independent Component Analysis algorithm (Fast ICA) is introduced. But like Fast ICA, its convergence is dependent on initial weight. We bring in a revision factor into the algorithm; thus the new algorithm could implement convergence on a largescale. In this paper, the revision factor is calculated by gradient. By modifying kernel iterate course, several iterations of Fast ICA are merged into one iteration of Modified Fast ICA, so the convergence of ICA will be accelerated. Finally, Modified ICA is applied to ERP extraction. The simulation shows that the convergence speed can be increased by using the improved algorithm.

BACKGROUND:Col agen/bioactive glass composite materials possess excellent osteogenic potential and biocompatibility, but its application in bone tissue engineering is limited by mechanical property and degradation. OBJECTIVE:To construct col agen/bioactive glass/chitosan composite scaffolds with good mechanical property, anti-degradation ability and bone repair property.
METHODS:Bioactive glass/col agen composite scaffolds with chitosan as dispersant were prepared by lyophylization. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, and dynamic biomechanical testing were used to characterize the structure and properties of the composite scaffolds. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Results show that charge-attractions in pre-prepared bioactive glass/chitosan solution increased the homogeneity of bioactive glass dispersed in col agen gel and the compressive modulus and strength increased significantly due to the homogeneity and intermolecular interactions between chitosan and col agen. The enzymatic degradation rate and mineralization activity in the simulated body fluid were also lower because of a high degree of embedment of bioactive glass in col agen/chitosan matrix, and entanglement of col agen in chitosan at molecular level, which decreased the exposure of bioactive glass to the simulated body fluid, and col agen to enzyme solution.

Objective To investigate the effects of Calpain inhibitor Ⅰ on glucocorticoid receptor and its transcript activation ability. Methods Raw-264.7 cells were treated respectively with Calpain inhibitor Ⅰ and dexamethasone or both for 24 h. The changes of glucocorticoid receptor were observed. COS-7 cells were co-transfected with PRsh-GR? and pMAMneo-CAT vectors, and then the effects of Calpain inhibitor Ⅰ on glucocorticoid receptor and its transcript activation ability were detected. Results The glucocorticoid receptors was decreased after Raw-264.7 cells were treated with dexamethasone for 24 h. Calpain inhibitor Ⅰ could inhibit this effect to some extent. Co-transfection experiment revealed that Calpain inhibitor Ⅰ could also promote glucocorticoid receptor transcript activation ability. Conclusion Calpain inhibitor Ⅰ can inhibit the down-regulation of dexamethasone on glucocorticoid receptor, but promote glucocorticoid receptor transcript activation ability.

Objective Leucine-rich repeat transmembrane neuronal protein 2 (LRRTM2) localizes to excitatory glutamatergic synapses,and triggers the formation of excitatory synapses.This study aims to investigate the expression of LRRTM2 protein in the temporal lobe tissue of SD rats induced by lithiumpilocarpine,and explore its roles in epilepsy.Methods Fifty-six Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were induced by lithium-pilocarpine and randomly divided into 6h,24h,72h,7d,14d,30d and 60d subgroups.Eight SD rats were treated with normal saline instead of pilocarpine as controls. Expression of LRRTM2 protein was accessed by immunohistochemistry,immunofluorcscence and Western blot analysis. Results LRRTM2 protein mainly expressed in neurons of temporal lobe,gradually decreased in acute phase,and then up-regulated in latent and chronic periods.The immunohistochemistry A values in model rats from 6 h,24h,72h,7d,14d,30d and 60d subgroups were 0.286 ±0.012,0.227 ± 0.008,0.425 ± 0.015,0.509 ±0.019,0.579 ± 0.018,0.488 ± 0.018 and 0.566 ± 0.014,respectively,compared to 0.330 ±0.016 in control group ( t =3.965,11.987,9.131,14.121,20.452,12.929 and 22.786,all P<0.05). Gray value ratios of LRRTM2/β-actin in different groups of model rats were 0.0354 ± 0.0043,0.0174 ± 0.0026,0.0685 ± 0.0064,0.0957 ± 0.0125,0.1044 ± 0.0103,0.0910 ± 0.0108,and 0.1012 ±0.0063,respectively,which were significant differences from control group (0.0471 ± 0.0033,t=4.354,14.191,5.989,7.541,10.565,7.730and15.316,allP<0.05).Conclusions LRRTM2 protein gradually increases in the neurons of temporal lobe of SD rats treated by lithium-pilocarpine in silence and chronic phases,which indicates that it may play an important role in cpileptogenesis.
