International Eye Science 2014;(10):1790-1792
AIM:To investigate changes of retinal nerve fiber layer ( RNFL) thickness and macular retinal thickness in patients with early diabetic retinopathy ( DR ) and disclose the changing trends of RNFL thickness and macular retinal thickness in different stages of early DR.
METHODS:It was a clinical case control study. Through selecting 60 patients ( 120 eyes ) with early DR diagnosed with type 2 diabetes were divided into non - diabetic retinopathy (NDR) group (20 cases, 40 eyes) and mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) group (20 cases, 40eyes), moderate NPDR group (20 cases, 40 eyes) . Twenty normal patients ( 40 eyes ) were enrolled as control group. The RNFL thickness of optical nerve ( with circle scan round optic nerve head, scan diameter of 3. 45mm) and the retinal thickness of macular ( around center point with 1000μm diameter ) were measured by optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) , to compare the RNFL thickness changes of the control and early DR patients.
RESULTS:Compared with the control group, the RNFL thickness of optical disc in the inferior quadrant was descended obviously in NDR group ( P < 0. 05 ), with statistically significant difference,; there were no statistically significant difference in other quadrants ( P>0.05). In mild NPDR group, the RNFL thickness of optical disc in the mean and inferior quadrant was significantly descended than that in the NDR group. In moderate NPDR group, the RNFL thickness of optical disc in the mean, superior and inferior quadrant was statistical significance descended than that in the NDR group ( P < 0. 05 ). Compared with the NPDR group, NDR group and control group, the RNFL thickness of optical disc in each quadrant were descended significantly. There was statistically significant difference in macular retinal thickness among the NDR group, mild NPDR and moderate NPDR group ( P<0. 05), the retinal thickness was increased gradually in mild NPDR and moderate NPDR group.
CONCLUSION:With the development in the degree of early DR, RNFL thickness is gradually decreased and retinal thickness is increased, OCT can be observed qualitatively and quantitatively in DR.

Objective To explore the effects of two air sampling methods including natural precipitation method and impacting method for detecting the bacterial count of indoor air of workplace of cosmetic plants. Methods The diameters of 44 glass bacteria-culture plates for those two sampling methods were measured. The indoor air of workplace of cosmetic plants were sampled by those two sampling methods simultaneously. The natural precipitation method was performed for 5- minute exposure ,the impacting method was performed by MAS-100 airborned bacteria sampler at flow rate of 100 L/min for 30 s,2 min,8 min respectively.All of the data on the bacterial counts of air obtained from various sampling ways were statistically analyzed.The measures for quality control of air sampling progress were put forward also. Results The diameters of 44 glass bacteria-culture plates were 8.39-8.70 cm,which were lower than the standard(9 cm?雪. The bacterial counts of air samples collected by natural precipitation method at the same location showed higher coefficient of variation,higher median,lower qualified rate compared with those by impacting method. The bacterial counts of air decreased,when the impacting sampling method was performed for 8 min continuously with sampling volume of 800 L. Conclusion The impacting method with advantages including mere influence from external environment and better precision could be primarily applied for air sampling in general condition,but it might show lower efficiency of collecting the airborne bacteria during the longer sampling period with higher sampling volume. The natural precipitation method with poor precision was suitable for longer term (8-30 min)air sampling in the relatively static environment with lower air flow and highly cleaned air. The bacterial counts of air obtained from natural precipitation method should be corrected if the diameters of glass bacteria-culture plates weren't meet the requirement of the national standard (9 cm?雪.

We wished to screen the cell line that stably expresses the HPV18E5 protein, and to ascertain the influence of HPV18E5 protein on cell proliferation and the cell cycle. The HPV18E5 gene was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction. Then, the His-tag pSecTag-HPV18E5 eukaryotic expression vector was constructed by digestion ligation and connection. The recombinant plasmid was transfected into Balb/c3T3 cells with lipofectamine, and positive cell lines were screened by a culture medium containing bleomycin. HPV18E5 expression in cells was confirmed by western blotting and immuno-enzymatic methods. The influence of HPV18E5 on cell proliferation and the cell cycle were detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 and flow cytometry, respectively. The pSecTag-HPV18E5 eukaryotic expression vector was constructed. After 21-day selection in a culture medium containing 400 μg/mL bleomycin, stably expressing HPV18E5 protein cells were harvested. Compared with control groups, cell proliferation in HPV18E5 stably expressed cells was obviously increased, as was the S phase in the cell cycle. Our results suggested that HPV18E5 influences cell proliferation and the cell cycle. Our study has laid the foundation of the biologic properties of HPV18E5 protein, which will aid further studies on the mechanism of action of carcinogenesis.

Objective By in vitro culture of mouse macrophage cell line RAW264. 7 and primary mouse bone marrow macrophages, the expression of Siglec-1 when stimulated by ox-LDL was observed. Meanwhile, Siglec-1 was up-regulated by M-CSF and down-regulated by small interference RNA targeting Siglec-1 ( si-RNA-Siglec-1) , and the expression of chemokines and lipid uptake ability by macrophages were observed, to explore the role of Siglec-1 on macrophages in atherosclerosis. Methods LDL was oxidized by copper. According to preliminary experiment results, ox-LDL 100 μg/ml was selected as a stimulus. There were 6 experimental groups:normal control group,ox-LDL 100 μg/ml group, ox-LDL 100 μg/ml + si-RNA 2509 2 ng/ml group,ox-LDL 100 μg/ml + si-RNA 3618 2 ng/ml group,ox-LDL 100 μg/ml + M-CSF 5 ng/ml group and ox-LDL 100 μg/ml + M-CSF 10 ng/ml group. si-RNA-Siglec-1 was transfected into macrophage to inhibit the expression of Siglec-1, whereas M-CSF 10 ng/ml or 5 ng/ml were added into the culture medium to enhance the expression of Siglec-1. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction ( qRT-PCR) was used to determine the interfere efficiency of si-RNA-Siglec-1 or M-CSF. After stimulation with ox-LDL for 48 h, cell culture supernatants were collected to determine MIP-1 alpha, MCP-1 and IL-8 concentration by ELISA (n =3 for each group) to evaluate the activation of macrophages. Internalization of lipid particles by macrophages was analyzed by oil red 0 staining. Results Observed by fluorescence microscope, si-RNA-Siglec-1 could be effectively transfected into macrophages with a transfection efficiency about 90% ;PCR results showed that si-RNA 2509 and si-RNA 3618 in a concentration of 40 pmol/L had an inhibition rate of 0. 54 ±0. 11 or 0. 52 ±0. 16 vs 1. 00 ±0. 24 (control group) , t =5. 227 and 4. 992, respectively, all P < 0.01, while M-CSF 10 ng/ml could increase Siglec-1 mRNA expression approximately 4-fold (4. 16 ± 1. 25 vs 1.00 ±0. 24, t =7. 448, P<0. 01). The secretion of MCP-1, MIP-1 alpha, and MIP-2 in si-RNA3618-Siglec-1 group [(359. 28±47. 80) pg/ml, (33. 76 ± 14. 28) ng/ml and (7.87±1.55) ng/ml for MCP-1,MIP-1 alpha, and MIP-2, respectively] was significantly reduced in compare with ox-LDL 100 μg/ml group [ (577. 89 ± 35. 95 ) pg/ml, (69. 17 ± 11. 82) ng/ml and (12.28 ± 1.19) ng/ml for MCP-1, MIP-1 alpha, and MIP-2, respectively], with P value of 0.01, 0.05 and 0.01. In contrary, ox-LDL 100 μg/ml plus M-CSF 10 ng/ml group could significantly promote macrophage chemokine secretion [ (672. 89 ± 43.80) pg/ml, (101.31 ±24.17) ng/ml and (14.81 ±0.54) ng/ml for MCP-1, MIP-1 alpha, and MIP-2, respectively], with P < 0.05 compared with ox-LDL 100 μg/ml group. Meanwhile, lipid intemalization and foam cell formation was inhibited in si-RNA3618-Siglec-l group while ox-LDL 100 μg/ml plus M-CSF 10 ng/ml group could enhance the phagocytosis of ox-LDL by macrophage. Conclusions Siglec-1 may served as a potential phagocytic receptor for ox-LDL involving in macrophage uptake of lipid and turn into foam cells. Furthermore, it can active macrophages and enhance the secretion of MIP-1 alpha, MCP-1 and IL-8, attracting more macrophages and lymphocytes to the site of inflammatory plaque. Targeted inhibition of Siglec-1 reduces macrophage uptake of lipid and secretion of chemokines. Siglec-1 may possibly serve as a potential target of treatment or delay the development of atherosclerosis.
