AIM:To investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of Musk Eye Drops(Moschus,Borneolum Syntheticum,etc.) METHODS:Anti-inflammatory effects of Musk Eye Drops on acute ceratitis in mice was observed with the models of mouse auricle edema induced by dimethylbenzene and acute conjunctivitis caused by Croton oil,and acute ceratitis resulting from surgical injury. RESULTS:All groups of Musk Eye Drops could significantly inhibit the edema,decrease the inflammatory of acute conjunctivitis and acute ceratitis.The effect of Musk Eye Drops had statistical significance(P0.05). CONCLUSION:Musk Eye Drops has obvious anti-inflammatory effect.

The effect of cognition need on information seeking behaviors of information users and the difference in behaviors of information users were investigated in 184 undergraduates from the same grade with different back-grounds of subjects using the cognition need scale and undergraduates information-seeking behaviors scale ,respec-tively.The data were analyzed by descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, rank test, and multivariate linear regression analysis , respectively , showing that the cognition need is significantly correlated with the informa-tion seeking behaviors of undergraduates in terms of information evaluation, information searching, information management and information use .

Objecfive To detect the functional repair of metanephric mesenchymal cells (MMCs) transplantation in adriamycin (ADR)-induced glomerulopathy rats. Methods A total of 90 Sprague-Dawley female rats were randomly divided into three groups:ADR group (n=40,rats were injected via the tail vein with O.25 mg ADR/100 g body weight on days 1 and 21),ADR- MMCs group(n=40,rats were injected via the tail vein with 5×10~6-7×10~6 MMCs 8 weeks after the second ADR administration),control(n=10).All the rats were scarified 8 weeks after MMCsinjection.Pathology and collagen IV expression in renal tissue were examined.Moreover,matrix metalloproteinases 2 (MMP-2) and matrix metallopmteinases 9 (MMP-9) expression in the renal tissue were also detected with immunohistochemistry,and quantity analysis of protein and gene was further demonstrated with Westem blot and RT-PCR analysis,respectively. Results There were no significant differences in tubulointerstitial injury score and glomerulosclerosis degree between ADR group and ADR-MMCs group(P>0.05).Compared with ADR group,collagen Ⅳ and MMP-2 expression decreased, MMP-9 expression incrased in renal tissue of ADR-MMCs group, and the difference was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion MMCs transplantation may have potentially therapeutic effect on renal tissue fibrosis of adriamyein-induced glomerulopathy in rats, and the signaling pathways of MMPs appear to be involved in these processes.

Objective:To observe the effect of isorhmnetin on the ER/TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathways in human dermal fibroblasts (HSF) damaged by UVA.Methods:HSF were divided into control group, model group, estradiol group, isorhmnetin groups with 100, 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001 μmol/L by random number table method, and cell photoaging models were established in all groups excepting the control group. After the intervention with corresponding drugs, cell proliferation rates were detected with MTT method, and the effective concentration of isorhmnetin was screened. Then the cells were divided into control group, model group, estradiol group, isorhmnetin group, TGF-β1 blocker group, Samd3 blocker group, and COL1A1 blocker group. Cell photoaging models were established in all groups excepting the control group. After intervened with corresponding drugs, the TGF-β1, Smad3, Ⅰ collagen α1 (collagen, type Ⅰ, alpha 1, COL1A1) mRNA and protein expression in all groups were detected by the real-time quantitative PCR and the Wester blot method.Results:The proliferation rate of isor administration group were increased than those in the control group ( P<0.01). Compared to the UVA irradiation group, the expression of TGF-β1 mRNA (0.956 ± 0.020 vs. 0.718 ± 0.036), Smad3 mRNA (0.981 ± 0.044 vs. 0.753 ± 0.047), COL1A1 mRNA (0.998 ± 0.032 vs. 0.786 ± 0.031), TGF-β1 protion (0.761 ± 0.026 vs. 0.542 ± 0.023), Smad3 protion (0.776 ± 0.016 vs. 0.551 ± 0.025), COL1A1 protion (0.792 ± 0.025 vs. 0.584 ± 0.012) in isor administration group significantly increased ( P<0.01). Compared to the isor administration group, the TGF-β1 mRNA (0.762 ± 0.051, 0.802 ± 0.012, 0.828 ± 0.030 vs. 0.967 ± 0.026), Smad3 mRNA (0.784 ± 0.027, 0.816 ± 0.015, 0.830 ± 0.032 vs. 0.998 ± 0.021), COL1A1 mRNA (1.082 ± 0.025, 1.101 ± 0.012, 1.138 ± 0.011 vs. 1.263 ± 0.022), TGF-β1 protion (0.675 ± 0.028, 0.682 ± 0.026, 0.722 ± 0.015 vs. 0.862 ± 0.014), Smad3 protion (0.712 ± 0.013, 0.764 ± 0.012, 0.778 ± 0.011 vs. 0.901 ± 0.015), COL1A1 protion (0.738 ± 0.016, 0.770 ± 0.038, 0.792 ± 0.026 vs. 0.964 ± 0.017) in the TGF-β1 blocker group, Smad3 blocker group and COL1A1 blocker group significantly decreased ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Isorhmnetin can promote the collagen synthesis of photo aging HSF cells, and its mechanism is related to the regulation of ERβ/TGF-β1 signaling pathway.
