ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)of complement factor H (CFH) gene and exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) susceptibility.MethodsThis is a retrospective case control study. 136 exudative AMD patients (AMD group) and 140age and sex-matched normal subjects (control group) were enrolled in this study. The peripheral blood was collected,polymorphism genotypes and frequency of CFH Y402H(rs1061170),CFH-257C ＞ T (rs3753394) and CFH IVS15 (rs1329428)were measured by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and allelespecific restriction endonuclease digestion. The SHEsis software was performed on haplotype construction to analyze the frequency.ResultsThere are TT, TC, CC genotypes and T, C allele in CFH Y402H (rs1061170); CC, CT, TT genotypes and C, T allele in CFH-257C＞T (rs3753394); AA, AG, GG genotypes and A, G allele in CFH IVS15 (rs1329428). The differences of genotypes and allele frequency between 2 groups were statistically significant (P＜0. 05). The TC genotype in CFH Y402H, TT genotype in CFH-257C＞T (rs3753394) and GG genotype in CFH IVS15 (rs1329428) were associated with exudative AMD susceptibility (OR=4. 11,2. 55,3.11;P＜0.05). The T, C and G allele were the risk alleles (OR=3.14,1.72,1.79;P＜0. 05). The differences of frequency between TCG, CTG and CTA haplotype were statistically significant(X2 =10.53,6.60, 32.82;P＜0.05). ConclusionThere is correlation between SNPs of CFH gene and exudative AMD susceptibility.

Objective To observe the expressions of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) 1,3a and 3b in retinoblastoma (RB).Methods Sixty-two RB samples and six normal retinas were studied,including 17 poorly differentiated and 45 well differentiated samples; 16 invasive and 46 non-invasive samples.The expressions of DNMT1,3a,and 3b,and Ki-67 were detected using immunohistochemical analysis.Brown staining of nuclei was considered to represent the positive stain for DNMT1,3a and 3b,and ki-67,blue staining as negative.The level of high expression of nuclear staining was,positive cells in DNMT1≥65 ％,in DNMT3a≥60％ and in DNMT3b≥40％.The correlations of DNMT1,3a and 3b expression in RB samples,and MIB-1 labeling index were analyzed.Results Viewed under the light microscope,negative expressions of DNMT1,3a and 3b were demonstrated in normal retinas,however,positive expression was observed in RB samples,with 100％ in DNMT1,98％ in DNMT3a and 92％ in DNMT3b.Comparing well differentiated RB samples with poorly differentiated samples,significant differences were found in high expression of DNMT1 (x2 =12.57,P＜0.05) and DNMT3a (x2 =10.54,P＜0.05) ; also in the positive cells of DNMT1 (U=179,P＜0.05) and DNMT3a (U=198,P＜0.05).No significant difference was found comparing high expression (x2=1.5,P＞0.05) and positive cells (U=307,P＞0.05) of DNMT3b.When comparing invasive tumor tissues with non-invasive tumors,significant differences were shown between high expression (x2 =4.72,P＜0.05) and positive cells comparing DNMT1 (U=236,P＜0.05).No significant difference was shown in high expression (x2=3.53,0.84; P＞0.05) in DNMT3a and DNMT3b,or in comparison with positive cells (U=338,257; P＞0.05).The expression of DNMTs was positively correlated with the MIB-1 labeling index in RB tissues (R2=0.554,0.376,0.219; P＜0.05).Conclusion There are high expressions of DNMT1,3a,and 3b in RB.

Objective To observe the expression and relationship of high-mobility group A(HMGA) 1,HMGA2,MIB-1 labeling index (LI) and let-7 in retinoblastoma (RB).Methods Forty-four RB samples were studied,including 11 poorly differentiated samples,33 well-differentiated samples; eight invasive and 36 non-invasive samples.The expression of HMGA1,HMGA2 and MIB-1 LI in RB were analyzed by immunohistochemitry.The HMGA1,HMGA2 were scored on a scale of 0 to high expression.0: no expression ; low: 1％ - 10 ％ ; medium: 11 ％ - 50 ％ ; high: ＞50 ％.The MIB LI were scored on a scale of 0to high expression.O: no expression;low: 1％ - 40％;high: ＞ 40％.Semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to assay the let-7 expression level: ≥ 80％ showed no significantly decreased expression; 60％ - 79％ showed medium decrease in expression; ＜ 60％ highly decreased in expression.Results In 44 RB samples,there were 14 cases with no HMGA1 expression (32％),11 cases with low expression (25％),10 cases with medium expression (23％),and nine cases with high expression (20％).Expression level of HMGA1 was significantly higher in poorly differentiated RB than in well-differentiated RB (x2 =11.3,P＜0.01) ; however,no statistically significant difference was found between invasive tumors and noninvasive tumors (x2 -5.9,P＞0.05).There were 11 cases with no HMGA2 expression (25％),11 cases with low expression-(25％),nine cases with medium expression (20％),and 13 cases with high expression (30％).Expression level of HMGA2 was significantly higher in poorly differentiated and invasive RB than in well differentiated and noninvasive RB respectively (x2=20.9,8.7; P＜0.05).There were 4 cases with no MIB-1 LI expression (9％),18 cases with low expression (41％),and 22 cases with high expression (50％).Expression level of MIB1 LI was significantly higher in poorly differentiated RB than in well-differentiated RB (t=5.2,P＜0.05).Higher expression of MIB-1 LI was found in invasive tumors than in noninvasive tumors,with no significant difference (t=-1.1,P＞0.05).Twenty seven cases had no significantly decreased expression of let-7 (61％).There were eight cases with medium decreased expression (18％) and nine cases with highly decreased expression (21％).Correlation analyses revealed that MIB1 LI expression significantly correlated with HMGA1and HMGA2 proteins (r=0.327,0.602; P＜0.05).A significantly inverse correlation existed between let-7 expression and HMGA1,HMGA2 proteins and MIB-1LI respectively (r=-0.247,-0.310,-0.392; P＜0.05).Conclusions Overexpression of HMGA1,HMGA2 and MIB-1 LI and down regulation of let-7 were demonstrated in RB.Supplying let-7 to RB cells can possibly inhibit HMGA1 and HMGA2 expression.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are a kind of pluripotent stem cells derived from bone marrows, which can not only support hematopoiesis, but also have capabilities of multidifferentiation, high-proliferation and self-renewing. They have become one of hotspots in stem cell studies. Studies on in vitro intervention with BMSCs with TCMs have made remarkable progress in recent years. According to the findings, some traditional Chinese medicines can promote proliferation of BMSCs, some can inhibit the apoptosis of BMSCs, while others can induce BMSCs to differentiate into multiple cell types, such as osteoblast. Furthermore, some studies also involved relevant action mechanisms. The authors summarized the advance in relevant studies by reference to relevant literatures of this field.

BACKGROUND:Endothelial progenitor cells are recruited into local vascular injury under the injury-induced stimulation, and then differentiate into mature endothelial cells that are thereby involved in angiogenesis and endothelial repair. OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether endothelial progenitor cells can al eviate renal injury and improve renal function of ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R) rats. METHODS:Peripheral blood samples extracted from Sprague-Dawley rats were used to isolate and culture endothelial progenitor cells using density gradient centrifugation. Twenty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to three groups:I/R group, normal control group, and endothelial progenitor cells group. In the I/R and endothelial progenitor cells groups, the right kidney was removed and the renal artery and vein of the left kidney were occluded for 40 minutes to establish I/R models in the rats, and then endothelial progenitor cells (5×109/L, total y 1 mL) or solvent was transplanted via the artery of the left kidney into the left kidney. In the normal control group, the experimental procedure was same as that in the I/R group except for occlusion of the artery and vein of the left kidney. Renal and blood samples from three groups were col ected at day 1 after operation. Peripheral blood CD34 and vascular endoethelial growth factor receptor 2 expressions were determined using flow cytometry and immunofluorescence methods, serum creatinine and urea nitrogen were tested, and immunohistochemistry observation was used for CD34 observation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the normal control group, serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels were significantly increased, and tubulointerstitial CD34 expression was decreased in the I/R group (P<0.05). Endothelial progenitor cells treatment largely decreased the levels of serum creatinine and urea nitrogen, and increased CD34 expression (P<0.05). These findings indicate that transplantation of endothelial progenitor cells contributes to renal protection in I/R rats.

Objective To systematically assess the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture for trigeminal neuralgia. Method Randomized controlled trials of a electroacupuncture treatment for trigeminal neuralgia were sought by a computer search of CNKI,Wan Fang Data,VIP,CBM,PubMed,EMbas and The Cochrane Library.The retrieval time limit was from March 1996 to March 2016. Two reviewers sifted the literature and extracted data independently according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria andthen assessed the riskofbias of the included literatureusing the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool.Ameta-analysis was made using RevMan 5.3.Result Finally, 12 articles were included with atotal of 847 subjects.The results ofmeta-analysis showed that the total efficacy rate was higher in the electroacupuncture group than in the control group [OR=4.04,95%CI(2.67, 6.13),P<0.00001].There were no statistically significant differences in the VAS score [MD=﹣0.06,95%CI(﹣0.59, 0.47),P=0.82] and the recurrence rate [OR=0.64,95%CI(0.05,7.45),P=0.54] between the electroacupuncture and control groups.Conclusion The currentlimited evidenceshows that the total efficacy rate fortrigeminal neuralgiais higher in the electroacupuncture group than in the control group.There are no statistically significant differences in the VAS score and the recurrence rate of trigeminal neuralgia between the electroacupuncture and control groups of patients.But the conclusions need more high-qualitytrials for validation owing to the limitation of the sample size of the included studies.
