Background Oxidative stress is one of the pathogenesis mechanisms of diabetic complications.Melatonin is the most powerful antioxidant in living organism.Seldom study on the effects of melatonin on diabetic complications is found in China now.Objective This study aimed to detect the expression and alteration of malonadehyde(MDA),glutathione(GSH)and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP)in retina with experimental diabetes and explore the effects of melatonin on retinal oxidative stress in diabetic rats. Methods The animal models of diabetes were established by injection of 2％ streptozocin via caudal vein(STZ,45 mS/kg)in 48 6-week-old clean SD rats.Isometric citric acid buffer solution wag injected in 24 normal.rats as control group.Seven days after injection of STZ,melatonin(10 mg/kg)was injected into the abdominal cavity of 24 diabetic rats in melatonin group dailv,and the equal volume of normal saline was injected in other 24 diabetic rats(model rats)and 24 rats in normal control group.The animals were sacrificed and retinas were obtained in three groups in 4,6 and 8 weeks respectively.Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the expression of GFAP in rat retina.The levels of MDA and GSH in retina homogenate were assayed by spectrophotometer.This experiment complied the Regulations for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission.Results The expression of GSH in model group was lower than that in melatonin group or control group at 4,6 and 8 weeks (all P<0.05).However,no statistically significant difference was seen in the expression level of GSH between melatonin group and normal control group at 4 and 6 weeks(P>0.05),and in the eighth week,expression of GSH in melatonin group was lower than that in control group(P<0.05).The expressions of MDA and GFAP were more prominent in the model group than in melatonin group and control group in 4,6 and 8 weeks(P<0.05),but no significant difference was found between melatonin group and control group at 4 and 6 weeks(P>0.05).The expressions of MDA and GFAP in melatonin group were higher than those in control group at 8 weeks(P<0.05).Conclusion Melatonin plays a powerful effect in protecting the retina from oxidative stress in diabetes retina by downregulating the MDA level,upregulating GSH level and inhibiting GFAP expression.

Objective To investigate the outcomes of arthroscopically lateral retinaculum patellae release and medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction using the semitendinosus tendon autograft for the treatment of habitual or recurrent dislocation of the patella. Methods 18 cases of recurrent dislocation of the patella were included in this group, among which there were 6 males and 12 females. The average age was 20 years old(range from 17 to 24 years). Arthroscopic investigation found tensed lateral retinaculum patellae and damaged cartilage at patellar medial margin and femoral lateral condyle. There were 6 cases of Ⅱdegree cartilage injuries, 5 cases of Ⅲ degrees injuries, and 7 cases of Ⅳ degree injuries caused by patellofemoral joint impact. For cases of Ⅳ degree injuries, the damaged cartilage was shaved and microfractured. For cases of Ⅱ or Ⅲ degree injuries, radiofrequency system was used for debridement. After the lateral retinaculum patellae was extensively released, semitendinosus tendon autograft was used to reconstruct the medial patellofemoral ligament. The knee joint was flexed and extended. Patella's dynamic motion, the tension of the tendon and relationship between the femoral trochlea and patellar bone were arthroscopically observed. Interface screw was used to fix the tendon ends within the bone tunnel on condylus medialis femoris. Results All patients were followed up for 9 to 19 months averaging 13 months. No patellar dislocation occurred postoperatively. Apprehensive test, patella tilt test were negative; and Apley test were negative in 16 patients and positive in 2 patients. One case of inferior pole of patella fractured. Axial view of X-ray and MR images of patella showed 15 cases regained normal anatomical relation of patellofemoral joint. 3 cases had mild semi-dislocation. Lysholm's score averaging (78.0?4.5) points preoperatively and (94.0?3.5) points postoperatively. Conclusion Lateral retinaculum patellae solution and medial part reconstruction under arthroscope can effectively cure recurrent subluxation of the patella and improve knee joint function.

To observe the effect of pIgR on Salmonella Enteritidis induced inflammation in jejunum and ileum in Chicken,7 day Hyline chickens were taken orally with Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) and killed after 1 d,3 d,7 d and 14 d.The mRNA expression of Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4),MyD88,TRAF6,NF-κB and pIgR was detected by real-time RT-PCR and pIgR protein level was detected by Western blot.The results showed that TLR4 signaling pathway was activated and mR-NA level of the pIgR in jejunum and ileum was enhanced (P＜0.01) and protein level of the pIgR in jejunum and ileum was up-regulated by SE.The study proved that TLR4 signal pathway on mucosal cell surface of jejunum and ileum was activated and expression of pIgR was up-regulated and gut mucosal immunity of chicken was strenghtened.

Objective To investigate the features of cognitive deficits of elderly depression,to evaluate the metabolite changes using MRS,and to assess the correlation between abnormal metabolite ratio of MRS and the scores of MoCA.Methods The samples contained 20 elderly depression patients and 20 healthy controls.All the patients were assessed by Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA).MRS data were acquired by point-resolved echo spin spectroscopy(PRESS)sequence of single vowel 1-hydrogen MRS.The software automatically completed metabolite content measurement,giving the ratio of all metabolite using Cr as reference,including NAA/Cr,Cho/Cr.Results (1)Compared with the controls,the patients depressed had lower scores in attention,executive function,words,delayed recall and total scores(P<0.01);(2)The patients depressed had lower ratio of NAA/Cr in both frontal lobe(P<0.05)and hippocampus(P<0.01),there were no significant differences in Cho/Cr between two groups(P>0.01);(3)The scores in executive function(r=0.71,0.62),words(r=0.79,0.77),delayed recall(r=0.62,0.61)and total scores(r=0.72,0.68)correlated with NAA/Cr in frontal lobe,the scores in delayed recall correlated with NAA/Cr in hippocampus(r=0.81,0.76).Conclusions The cognition function of patients with elderly depression can be generally impaired.The patients depressed had lower ratio of NAA/Cr in both frontal lobe and hippocampus.The cognitive deficits of geriatric depression correlated 1H-MRS changes in its frontal lobe and hippocampus.

Aim To investigate the inhibitive effects of trichostatin A(TSA) on telomerase activity of HL-60 cells and expression of subunit hTERT during apoptosis in vitro and its mechanism.Methods The proliferative activity of HL-60 cells was assessed using morphology and MTT assay.Cell apoptosis was confirmed using Flow Cytometer.Telomerase activity was examined using TRAP-ELISA.The expression status of telomerase subunits was analyzed using RT-PCR.Results A time-and dose-dependent inhibition was detected in HL-60 cells treated with TSA.After 48 h TSA(300 nmol?L~(-1)) treatment,the apoptotic rate detected using cytometric assay(Annexin V/PI double staining)of HL-60 cells was 42.6%.Telomerase activity and expression level of hTERT and the key subunit of telomerase decreased at 24-hour after TSA treatment.No significant changes were observed in the expression of hTR,hTP and the other two subunits of telomerase.Conclusion TSA inhibits telomerase activity and induces apoptosis in HL-60 cells.The underlying mechanism might be related to the down regulation of hTERT transcription.
