Objective To detect the expression of integrin ?5?1 in restenosed human vein grafts.Methods The expression of integrin ?5?1 and ?-smooth muscle actin(?-SMA) in 30 resected restenosed human vein grafts(from Kerfuff clinical hospital of Germany) was detected by confocal immunofluorescence with specific antibodies against ?5?1 and ?-SMA.Images were processed with Silicon Graphics Octane.Results In normal veins,integrin ?5?1 expression was very weak in media smooth muscle cells and in endothelium,and ?-SMA expression was present in media smooth muscle cells.In the restenosed vein grafts,integrin ?5?1 was strongly stained in the media smooth muscle cells and intimal endothelial cells,and moderately in the intimal smooth muscle cells,?-SMA was present in media smooth muscle cells and in the intimal smooth muscle cells.Conclusion Our research reveals that integrin ?5?1 is significantly upregulated in the media smooth muscle cells and intimal endothelial cells in the restenosed human vein grafts,suggesting the participation of integrin ?5?1 in the restenosis formation of human vein grafts.

Objective To observe the effect of robot-assisted upper limb training on the recovery of upper limb motor function after stroke.Methods One hundred patients within one month of suffering a stroke were randomly divided into a control group (50 cases) and a therapy group (50 cases).Both groups were given conventional drug therapy and rehabilitation training,while the therapy group also received robot-assisted training once a day,5 days per week for 12 weeks.The Fugl-Meyer assessment for the upper extremities (FMA-UE),the modified Ashworth scale (MAS) and the modified Barthel index (MBI) were used to evaluate the subjects before the experiment and after 4,8 and 12 weeks of treatment.Results During the treatment,the average FMA-UE scores and the average MBI of both groups increased gradually.The treatment group's averages were significantly better than those of the control group at each time point,except that there was no significant difference in elbow and wrist MAS scores.Conclusion Upper limb robots can be used with acute stroke patients in a clinical setting,and they may be beneficial for improving upper limb function and ability in the activities of daily living.

OBJECTIVE:To study the hypoglycemic effects of Insulin self-microemulsion for parenteral administration on mod-el rats with type 1 diabetes in vivo. METHODS:Rats were treated with streptozotocin(50 mg/kg)to reproduce model with type 1 diabetes,ip. The model rats were randomly divided into model group (normal saline),positive control group (Insulin injection 2.25 u/kg) and self-microemulsion low,medium and high dose groups (Insulin self-microemulsion 4.5,9 and 18 u/kg);and 10 normal rats were involved in sham-operation group (normal saline). Anesthesia and operation were conducted for all rats. Positive control group was administrated,ip;other rats were parenterally administrated. The blood glucose levels in groups were detected be-fore and after 15-600 min administration. Glucose tolerance test was conducted for the rats in normal control group,model group without glucose,model group with glucose and microemulsion group (Insulin self-microemulsion 9 u/kg). All group were given glucose except model group without glucose. RESULTS:Compared with sham-operation group,the blood glucose levels in model group within 0-240 min were increased,with significant difference(P<0.05). Compared with model group,there was hypoglyce-mic trend in positive control group after 15 min,the blood glucose levels within 30-480 min were decreased,the hypoglycemic peak was 36%,and the peak time was 30 min;there was also hypoglycemic trend in microemulsion low,medium and high dose groups after 30 min,the blood glucose levels within 45-360 min were decreased,hypoglycemic peak was 18%-21%,and the peak time was 90-120 min,with significant differences (P<0.01 or P<0.05). All rats had glucose absorption peak except for model group without glucose in glucose tolerance test,and glucose of rats in microemulsion group reached its peak and then quickly de-creased. CONCLUSIONS:Insulin self-microemulsion can obviously reduce the blood glucose of model rats with type 1 diabetes.

This study aimed at exploring the effects of Guttiferone K (GUTK),a compound isolated from G.yunnanensis,on inhibiting the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo.MTT assay was used to detect the inhibitory effects of GUTK on the proliferation of five human pancreatic cancer cell lines.Western blot was adopted to detect the apoptosis-related protein expressions of Caspase-3,poly adenosinediphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) and Bcl-xL.For in vivo study,the human pancreatic cancer cell MIA PaCa-2 was orthotopically injected into the pancreatic tail of the orthotopic mice.One week later,GUTK was administered by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection every other day for 4 weeks.The volume and weight of the tumor tissue were measured.The protein expression level of cleaved caspase-3 in tumor tissue of all the groups was quantified by immunohistochemistry.As a result,it was found that GUTK effectively inhibited the proliferation of the five human pancreatic cancer cell lines at a low concentration.GUTK induced caspase-related apoptosis by triggering a series of events in MIA PaCa-2 cells including cleaved Caspase-3 and PARP activation,Bcl-xL down-regulation,and eventually cell death in a time and dose dependent manner.Furthermore,in vivo study revealed that intraperitoneal injection of GUTK significantly suppressed the growth of pancreatic cancer cells in the orthotopic mouse models,and the protein level of cleaved caspase-3 was increased in the GUTK and gemcitabine treated groups.It was concluded that GUTK induced apoptosis in human pancreatic cancer both in vitro and in vivo,and was potential to develop into a clinical anticancer agent.

Objective To analysis the effect of lens opacity on the measurement of retinal vessel oxygen saturation.Methods This was a cross sectional study.Forty four eyes of 44 patients with different degrees of lens opacity were enrolled.There were 23 males and 21 females.The patients aged from 48 to 84 years,with the mean age of(71.8± 10.3) years.The mean best corrected visual acuity was 0.65±0.22.The mean intraocular pressure was (14.2± 4.3) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa).The mean equivalent spherical degree was (-0.05 ± 2.10) D.The opitical quality analysis system was applied to measure intraocular objective scattering index (OSI) caused by lens opacity.According to the OSI,the opacity of lens was divided into four groups.Patients with OSI value < 1.0 was grouped to level 1,which indicated that the lens were basically transparent;patients with OSI value between 1.0 and 3.0 was grouped to level 2,which indicated early cataract;patients with OSI value between 3.0 and 7.0 was grouped to level 3,which indicated progressive cataract;patients with OSI value > 7.0 was grouped to level 4,which indicated the mature stage of cataract.The retinal oximeter Oxymap T1 was used to capture the fundus images under different wavelengths.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between retinal oxygen saturation and age,intraocular pressure,equivalent spherical degree and OSI.One way ANOVA was used to analyze the difference of retinal oxygen saturation among groups.Results The mean retinal arterial oxygen saturation,venous oxygen saturation and arteriovenous difference was (90.70± 6.46)%,(47.34 ± 13.51)%,(43.36 ± 10.09)%,respectively.The correlations of retinal arterial oxygen saturation,venous oxygen saturation and arteriovenous difference with age,intraocular pressure,equivalent spherical degree was not statistically significant (all P>0.05).The retinal arterial oxygen saturation and venous oxygen saturation was negatively correlated with OSI (r=-0.462,-0.500;P=0.002,0.001),the arteriovenous difference and OSI was positively correlated (r=0.373,P=0.013).According to lens opacity,there were 11 eyes in level 1,9 eyes in level 2,14 eyes in level 3,10 eyes in level 4.There were significant differences of retinal artery and venous oxygen saturation among different lens opacity levels (F=5.340,4.710;P=0.003,0.007);meanwhile,the arteriovenous difference was not significantly different (F=2.048,P=0.123).The retinal arterial oxygen saturation and venous oxygen saturation was significantly lower in the level 4 lens opacity group than any other three groups (all P<0.05),but there was no statistically significant difference among level 1 to level 3 lens opacity group.Conclusion The effect of lens opacity of level 1 to level 3 is limited on the measurement of retinal oxygen saturation,but level 4 lens opacity will cause decrease of retinal artery and venous oxygen saturation.
