BACKGROUND:In the clinical treatment of diabetic retinopathy, the therapeutic effects of different filers on the retina and optic nerve after the removal of the vitreous are lack of comprehensive and detailed reports. OBJECTIVE:To observe the changes of retina and optic nerve in patients with diabetic retinopathy after filing cyclic polydimethylsiloxane. METHODS: Totaly 147 patients with diabetic retinopathy undergoing vitreous removal were enroled, including 77 males and 70 females, aged 35to70 years. The vitreous from 74 patients with diabetic retinopathy was filed with cyclic polydimethylsiloxane (test group). The cyclic polydimethylsiloxane was taken out at 3 months post-operation. The vitreous from another 73 patients with diabetic retinopathy was filed with the whole fluorine propane (control group). The changes of retina, optic nerve, intraocular pressure, and the occurrence of vitreous re-hemorrhage and cataract after operation were observed in these two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After 7 days of folow-up, the intraocular pressure of patients in the test group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). After 6 months of folow-up, there was no significant difference in the intraocular pressure between these two groups. After 6 months of folow-up, cyclic polydimethylsiloxane was successfuly removed in the test group, retinal blood vessels became thinning with the presence of white sheath, and the number of optic nerves was higher than the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of vitreous re-hemorrhage and cataract in the test was higher than the control group (P < 0.05). These results demonstrate that after the removal of the vitreous, cyclic polydimethylsiloxane filing can lead to optic atrophy in patients with diabetic retinopathy.

Objective To investigate the myocardial protective effects ,mechanism and safety of recombinant human erythropoie-tin(rHuEPO) pretreatment in the patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) .Methods Thirty pa-tients with rheumatic heart disease undergoing valve replacement surgery were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group ,15 cases in each group .The observation group was given rHuEPO 300IU/kg by hypodermic injection on preoperative 2 d ,once daily for twice .The control group was given the same dose of normal saline .The blood routine was performed before sur-geryandonpostoperative7d.Thelevelsofcreatinekinaseisoenzyme(CK-MB)andtroponinT(cTnT)weredetectedbeforeopera-tion ,at 6 ,24 ,72 h after the aorta opening (T0 ,T6 ,T24 ,T72 ) .At the end of CPB ,myocardial biopsy was conducted for detecting the myocardial apoptosis index (AI) .The CPB time ,aortic cross clamp(ACC) time ,postoperative ICU stay ,blood transfusion and post-operative complications were recorded .Results The level of postoperative CK-MB and cTnT in the two groups were significantly increased after the aorta opening ,which at T6 was highest ,followed by a downward trend .The levels of CK-MB and cTnT at vari-ous time points in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group .The main effect of rHuEPO pre-treatment had statistical difference between the two groups (P= 0 .01) .Myocardial AI in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group ,the difference showing statistical significance (P<0 .01) .The observation group had no risk leading to obviously increase postoperative Hb ,Hct values and thromboembolism ,but the postoperative blood transfusion amount was reduced .Conclusion rHuEPO pretreatment has the protective effect on myocardium in the patients undergoing cardiac surgery under CPB ,which can reduce myocardial apoptosis and has safe reliability .

Objective To study the effect of Smad4 gene on angiogenesis related factors in human gastric cancer cell line.Methods Recombinant eukaryotie expressing plasmid pcDNA3.1 (-)-Smad4 containing Smad4 gene and empty vector pcDNA3.1 (-) were introduced into human gastric cancer cell line MKN28 using lipofectam and selected by G418,respectively.Two cell lines were obtained as follows:Smad4+-MKN28 cell line which was MKN28 transfected with a stable hybrid containing Smad4 gene and Smad4--MKN28 cell line with empty plasmid as control.The transcription and expression of VEGF and TSP1 were investigated by RT-PCR and Western blot.Results The mRNA expression of TSP1 in Smad4+-MKN28 cells was higher (P＜0.05) than that in control cells,while VEGF was lower(P＜0.05).Western blot showed the consistent results as measurement by RT-PCR.Conclusion Smad4 restoration in gastric cancer cells reduced angiogenesis rates through down-regulation of angiogenesis activitor and up-regulation of angiogenesis inhibitor.

Objective Sex difference of the length ratios of metacarpals and metatarsals in Macaca mulatta from the Taihang mountains was studied in our laboratory. Methods The lengths of 27 metacarpals (10 males, 17 females) and 30 metatarsals(12 males, 18 females) were measured from the skeletons of 30 adult Macaca mulatta. Length ratios were constructed for all possible pairings of the five bones in each individual hand and foot. One-Way ANOVA adopting SPSS13.0 for windows was used to study the sex differences of length ratios of metacarpals and metatarsals. Results For Macaca mulatta, several of these lengths ratios exhibited substantial differences between the sexes. The metacarpal(Mc) length ratios showing the largest sex differences were 2Mc∶5Mc and 4Mc∶5Mc in both hands (P<0.01), and the metatarsal(Mt) length ratios showing the largest sex difference was 1Mt:3Mt in both feet (P<0.05). Conclusion The sex differences of metacarpals and metatarsals remained when specimens of similar size were compared. It showed that body size was not the basis for these sex differences. Various facts suggested that the sex difference of length ratios in primate metapodials was associated with sex hormones exposure, possibly during prenatal development.

Objective To investigate radiation-related human plasma metabolic features by using metabonomics method and to analyze relative metabolic pathway .Methods The plasma samples of 40 patients pre-and post-total body irradiation (TBI) from January 2012 to May 2014 were collected, and the effect of TBI on human plasma metabolites was studied by gas chromatography mass spectrometry ( GC-MS) , and the differential plasma metabolic features related to irradiation damage were screened . Results The levels of glucose, myristic acid, oxalic acid, 3-hydroxy butyric acid, urea, aspartic acid, valine, leucine, lysine and threonine in plasma were significantly (P<0.05) increased after TBI, while the levels of cholesterol, pyruvic acid, propionic acid, lactic acid, alanine, glycine, inositol, sorbitan, ethylene glycol and hypoxanthine were decreased drastically (P<0.05).Conclusions TBI could cause significant changes in the levels of human plasma metabolites including amino acid metabolism , glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism and so on.

To rapidly select potent anti-VSTM1-v2 scFv (single-chain antibody fragment) by construction and screening of a humanized scFv library in which a murine VH-CDR3 library was grafted onto a human scFv framework. A murine VH-CDR3 library was amplified from anti-VSTM1-v2 murine cDNA and grafted on human scFv (VH3-VK1) framework. Anti-VSTM1-v2 scFv templates were selected and enriched through ribosome display, TA-cloned into expression vector, and transformed into BL21 (DE3) for soluble expression of target scFv. A total of 1000 clones were randomly picked. Positive ones were first identified using colony PCR, indirect ELISA, Western blotting and then verified with sequencing and dose response ELISA. At last an anti-VSTM1-v2 humanized scFv with good binding affinity (EC50 = 21.35 nmol x L(-1)) was selected from the humanized library of 10(12) members generated in this study. This scFv antibody might have potential applications. This study provides a new approach for rapid screening of humanized antibodies.
