Objective:To explore the effects of antisense oligonucleotide(ASODN)of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF)on the apoptosis of human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts(HSF)and the related mechanisms.Methods:The hypertrophic scar fibroblasts were cultured in vitro and were divided into the following 3 groups:CTGF-ASODN-treated group, liposome control group and blank control group.The distribution of CTGF-ASODN in HSF of different phases was observed under fluorescent microscope in 3 groups.Flow cytometer was employed to detect the apoptotic rate of HSF and the expression of Fas.The expression of CTGF,Fas and bcl-2 mRNA in HSF was assessed by RT-PCR.Results:24 h after transfection,large quantity of yellow-green fluorescence was seen in the HSF cytoplasm of CTGF-ASDON group in a scattered or doted manner, but not found in that of the other 2 groups.The apoptosis rate of HSF in CTGF-ASDON group was significantly higher than those in the other 2 groups(P

Objective To establish a GC-MS method for the analysis of the chemical components of essential oil from Fructus Ponciri Trifoliatae Immaturi.Methods The essential oil was extracted by steam distilyation ,then separated by capillary gas chromatography. The components from essential oil were identified by comparing with related standard chromatogram and their amount were determined by normalization method.Results Twenty-one components have been identified from Folium Fructus Ponciri Trifoliatae Immaturi and their amount accounted 99.04 %of total essential oil. The main components are limonene (55.68 %),?-myrcene(21.96 %),?-Pinene(5.17 %),cis-caryophyllene(4.61 %)and ?-Ocimene (1.71 %).Conclusion This method is reliable and effective and can be applied to analyze the essential oil components extracted from Fructus Ponciri Trifoliatae Immaturi.

· AIM: To analyze the pathogeny of corneal endotheliitis and to investigate the causes of its misdiagnosis and the key to treatment.endotheliitis presented with predisposing factors, clinical manifestations and treatment were analyzed retrospectively.junctiviis, and the other 7 were misdiagnosed as acute close-angle glaucoma, glaucomatocyclitic crisis, inflammatory reaction after cataract extracapsular extraction and IOL implantation, disciform stromal keratitis and iridocyclitis, respectively. All the 7 cases were cured through treatment, and recurrence appeared in 1 case.unclear yet. Properly grasping its features and key points for differential diagnosis and seriously and detailed examining patients will benefit to timely diagnosis. After clinical treatment, maintaining treatment for more than 4wk will lower the recurrence of corneal endotheliitis.

AIM: To observe the clinical features of glaucomatocyclitic crisis and to investigate its pathogenesis, diagnosis,treatment and prognosis.METHODS: The clinical data of 15 cases (15 eyes) subjected to glaucomatocyclitic crisis were retrospectively analyzed including clinical manifestation and treatment.RESULTS: Visual field was normal in 13 eyes, and 2eyes had glaucomatous visual field defects. C/D ratio was ≤0.3 in 10 eyes and ≥0.6 in 2 eyes. Through pharmacotherapy the symptoms in 14 eyes disappeared after 2wk. One eye was diagnosed as being complicated by primary open-angle glaucoma and well treated with surgery.CONCLUSION: Glaucomatocyclitic crisis is a kind of ocular syndrome with unknown pathogenesis. It should be differentiated from primary glaucoma and uveitis clinically. Its prognosis is not absolutely benign, and the patients should be followed up regularly.

In recent years, with the rapid development of antibody drugs, the antibody-based therapies have gradually expanded from the cancer and autoimmune diseases to metabolic and infectious diseases and so on. However, the development of antibody-based anti-infective drugs is much slower as there are only two kinds of drugs in the market. This is due to the complex infective mechanism of viruses, bacteria and other pathogens, and the monovalent character of monoclonal antibodies that greatly limit the anti-infection effect of antibody drugs. The development and application of novel technologies, such as recombinant polyclonal antibody technology, will greatly accelerate the development of antibody-based anti-infection drugs. This article will introduce the application and trends in the development of antibody-based drugs in the field of anti-infection therapy.
