Background Research determined that hypoxia inducible factor-1(HIF-1)is associated with the hypoxia response in normal organ,and it plays an important role during the embryon development.It is also proved that the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)is upregulated in embryon retina.But,whether the action of HIF-1 and VEGF is correlated is unclear. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the dynamic change of expression of HIF-1α and VEGF in retina during embryonic development and explore the role of HIF-1α and VEGF along with retinal evolvement.Methods The different embryon ages of SD rats were obtained from 30 clean pregnant SD rats by cesarean surgery.The retinas were isolated from embryon 10一day,12一day,14-day,16-day and 20-day rats respectively.The expressions of HIF-1 α and VEGF protein in retina were semi-quantitatively and qualitatively determined by immunochemistry,and the expressions of HIF-l α and VEGF mRNA in retina with different-embryon-phase and adult rats were detected by RT-PCR. Results The hishly level of expression of HIF-1 α and VEGF protein were found in the cellular nuclei and cytoplasm of retina in embryon 10一and 12-day rats.With the increase of embryon age.the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF protein in retina lowed(F=56.70,P<0.01;F=60.78.P<0.01).Compared with the adult rats,the expressions of HIF-1α and VEGF protein in retina were higher from embryon 0-day through 20-day rats(all P<0.01).The significantly positive correlation was found in the expression level between HIF-1α and VEGF protein throughout the experimental duration(r=0.96,P=0.00).Followed the same pattern,the expression levels of HIF-1α and VEGF mRNA in retinas were also enhanced in the embryon 10- and 12-day rats.Identically,a gradually weakened trend was seen in the expressions of HIF-1 α and VEGF mRNA in retinas as the increase of gestational age of rats(F=68.84,P<0.01;F=96.49,P<0.01),and the exDressions of HIF-1 α and VEGF mRNA decreased in the adult rats compared with different embryon-phase rats,showing a statistically significant difference between them(all P<0.01). Conclusion The expressions of HIF-1 αand VEGF in retina appear a dynamic alteration from hish to low during the embryonic development of rat retina,indicating that HIF-1α/VEGF pathway might participate in the process of embryo development of rat retina.

Objective:To observe the effect of enriched rehabilitation training on cognitive function, plasma mir-146a-5p microRNA precursor levels and inflammatory factors in persons with post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI).Methods:Fifty-eight persons with PSCI were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, each of 29. The observation group was given enriched rehabilitation training, while the control group was provided with conventional cognitive rehabilitation training. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA), the Digit Span Test (DST), parts A and B of the Trail Making Test (TMT A-B) and the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) were used to assess the subjects′ cognitive functioning and their ability in the activities of daily living (ADL). Plasma levels of mir-146a-5p, IL-6 and TNF-α were detected before and after the treatment.Results:After treatment, the average MOCA, DST and MBI scores, as well as the average TMT A-B times had improved significantly for both groups. However, the observation group′s averages were significantly better than those of the control group on all three tests. After the treatment, the average plasma expression of miR-146a-5p had increased significantly in both groups, but the increase in the observation group was significantly greater. Plasma IL-6 and TNF-α levels were significantly lower than before the treatment, with the average TNF-α level in the observation group significantly lower than that of the control group.Conclusions:Enriched rehabilitation training can improve the cognition of stroke survivors more effectively than conventional cognitive rehabilitation training. That may be related to the up-regulation of plasma miR-146a-5p and reducing inflammation.

Objective To explore the short?term functional outcomes of the reconstruction of the proximal humerus by re?verse shoulder arthroplasty after tumor rescetion. Methods 8 patients who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty after tumor resection between January 2013 and December 2014. 5 were female and 3 were male, mean aged was 38 years old (25-61). 2 chon?drosarcomas and 6 giant cell tumors. Enneking stageing of 2 cases with chondrosarcoma were stageⅠB and stageⅡB. 6 giant cell tumors were Campanacci stage 3, meanwhile 3 cases had pathological fractures. The deltoid and axillary nerve were intact in all patients by image analysis before the operation. The proximal humerus was resected according to Malawer typeⅠresection. Then reverse shoulder arthroplasty reconstruction and bone graft was performed. The follow?up was scheduled, and the patient received X?ray examination of the shoulder. The range of motion of the shoulder was measured, the Constant?Murley score and musculoskel?etal tumor society(MSTS) score was recorded. Results The mean duration of the operation was 2.7 h (2-3.5 h). The bleeding in the operation was 510 ml (300-850 ml). The mean length of humerus resection was 8 cm (6-10 cm). The allografts were used in 7 cases and reimplantation after tumor bone deactivation was used in one. The latissimus dorsi transfer were performed in 2 cases. The rotator cuff were resected 1-1.5 cm from the great and lesser tubercles. The follow?up was 13 months (3-26 months). No infec?tion, dislocation, or loosening of prosthesis was found by the last follow?up. The X?ray showed the case who received reimplanta?tion after tumor bone deactivation had achieved bone union 1 year postoperation,7 cases received allograft had still nonunion at the host?graft junction. Bone resorption were found in all cases in different extent but the prosthesis were stable. No local recur?rence of the tumor was found. At last follow?up, active abduction was 155° (100°-175° ) and active forward elevation was 150° (115°-170°) and Constant?Murley score was 76%(68%-87%). The MSTS score was 92%(87%-97%). Conclusion The func?tional outcomes of the reconstruction of the proximal humerus by reverse shoulder arthroplasty after tumor rescetion was satisfied in early period. The reverse shoulder arthroplasty can be used in younger patient, but long?term results need further study.
