·Hemophilia is a rare disorder that occasionally has visual symptoms after diagnosis. The authors present a case in which visual symptoms led to the initial diagnosis, a 22-year-old man who represented with spontaneous fundal haemorrhage. There is no history of bleeding and trauma. The fundal haemorrhage was absorbed significantly without any treatment after 3 months follow-up. Hemophilia A was found to be the causative disorder in this previously healthy man. The authors present a rare case in which unilateral visual complaints led to the diagnosis of hemophilia A. Thus, though uncommon, hemophilia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of otherwise unexplained fundal haemorrhages.

OBJECTIVE: To suppress NgR gene expression in neural stem cells and observe differentiation of neural stem cells in vitro after interfered which provide nutritional support for the facial nerve repair in vivo. METHOD: PCR amplification, restriction endonuclease digestion, T4DNA ligase connections were used to connected NgR with rector pGCsi, and constructed recombinant vector (NgR shRNA). Lipofectamine 2000 were used to transfect the NSC. The expression of NgR was examined by Western Blot. The proportion of neural stem cells transformed into neurons after transfection was tested by Immunocytochemistry. Neural stem cells were planted in PLGA tubes after transfected, and were scanned by electron microscopy. RESULT: NgR shRNA plasmid was constructed and infected neural stem cells successfully. Western Blot showed that the expression of NgR decreased in neural stem cells after interference. Immunocytochemistry showed that the rate of the neural stem cells transformed into neurons after interfered was significantly higher (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Neural stem cells were transformed into neurons after NgR shRNA plasmid infected neural stem cells, which promoted axonal regeneration more effectively and provided a efficient and stable gene platform for facial nerve repair.

Aim To study the pharmacodynamics of antianxietic compound prescription capsule ( ACPC ) on acute stress in rats and the influence upon the ex-pression of ERK/CREB signal pathway and brain-de-rived neurotrophic factor ( BDNF) in the cerebral cor-tex and hippocampus of rats. Methods The elevated plus maze ( EPM ) test was applied to observe the effects of ACPC on acute stress rats administered 7 d low-, medium- and high-dose ( 0. 75 , 1. 5 , 3 g · kg-1 ) . The expression of ERK/CREB signal pathway and BDNF in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of rats were studied by using Western blot method. Re-sults In EPM, high-dose of ACPC increased signifi-cantly the rat open arm time ( OT%) ( P<0 . 05 ) and the percentage of open arm entries ( OE%) ( P <0. 05). In Western blot, the medium-dose of ACPC reduced significantly p-ERK1/2 expression in hippo-campus ( P <0. 05 ) , and high-dose group decreased significantly the expression of p-ERK1/2 and p-CREB in the cortex and hippocampus of rats ( P <0. 05 ) . High-dose group increased significantly the expression of BDNF in the cortex and hippocampus of rats ( P<0. 05 , P<0. 01 ) . Conclusion ACPC has anti-anxie-ty effect in the model of EPM, and its mechanism may be related to the ERK/CREB signal pathway and in-creased BDNF expression.

Objective To evaluate the effect of using standardized patients (SP) in psychiatry class teaching.Methods A standardized patient was used when giving instructions on seven years clinic medicine students of Fudan university,the effect of this teaching model was assessed.Results Totally 96.19％ of students believed that standardized patients teaching model was better than the traditional model.Students in classes of using standardized patients scored higher than students in classes without using standardized patients.Conclusion The standardized patients teaching mode,recognized by almost all students,is believed to help students to better master the knowledge of psychiatry.

This study was aimed to establish an HPLC method for simultaneous content determination of valtrate, acevaltrate, and their degradation products, which were baldrinal and 11-ethoxyviburtinal, in Valeriana jatamansi Jones. The separation and quantification of 4 constituents mentioned above were performed on an Agilent ZORBAX SB-C18 (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase consisted of water (A) - acetonitrile (B) with an optimized gradient program. The flow rate was 1 mL·min-1. The column temperature was set at 25℃. The wavelength was set at 241 nm. And the injection volume was 10μL. The results showed that among 14 different places of V. jatamansi, the 4 contents determined were different. The contents of valtrate, acevaltrate, and baldrinal in the Yunnan Baoshan Mount were the highest. And the content of 11-ethoxyviburtinal was the highest in Yunnan Dali. It was concluded that the method was with good precision, reproducibility and stability. And it was suitable for the determination of 4 valepotriates ingredients in V. jatamansi. It also provided references for the quality control and exploitation of V. jatamansi.

OBJECTIVE To screen small molecule compounds from traditional Chinese medicine that can enhance recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) transduction. METHODS Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) has been established as a powerful tool for in vivo gene transfer and achieved much promise in gene therapy applications. However, widespread clinical use has been limited by transduction efficiency.In the current study,we screened a panel of small molecule compound from traditional Chinese medicine focused on AAV intracellular trafficking process and found salvianolic acid B can significantly enhance rAAV2 transduction. RESULTS Salvianolic acid B caused a dose-depen-dent increase in rAAV2 transduction regardless of vector dose,genome architecture,and over a broad range of cell line from various cell type and species(HEK293,HeLa,HepG2,Huh-7,CHO-K1,LO-2). Salvianolic acid B treatment redirected rAAV2 particles toward large vesicles positive for late endosomal (Rab7)and lysosomal(LAMP1)markers.Furthermore,salvianolic acid B acted to increase accumulation of viral particles at the perinuclear region. CONCLUSION In summary, our results suggest that salvi-anolic acid B redirects rAAV2 toward more productive trafficking pathways and stabilizes perinuclear accumulations of vectors,facilitating productive nuclear trafficking.

In the present study, we inserted the core-streptavidin cDNA into downstream of multi-cloning site of plasmid pOPE101-8E5 by DNA gene recombination technology. And then, the variable fragments of heavy and light chain of the scFv-8E5 were replaced by the scFv-C4 variable fragments to construct the expression vector pOPE101-C4∷core-streptavidin. After transformed the vector pOPE101-C4∷core streptavidin into E.coil, the fusion protein C4∷core streptavidin-His-tag can be expressed by inducing with IPTG, and the expression level and activity of the expressed fusion protein analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The results show that a scFv-C4∷core-streptavidin fusion protein of 45kDa was obtained, which can bind proteins of 60kDa & 45kDa from the KG1a cells lysate simultaneously. The binding function can be detected by the binding of core-streptavidin and biotin directly.

AIM: To investigate hemodynamic alterations of retrobulbar vessels in proliferative diabetic retinopathy ( PDR) patients with anterior segment neovascularization, before and 3mo after vitrectomy combined with panretinal photocoagulation and to explore the clinical significance.
●METHODS: Color Doppler flow imaging ( CDFl ) was used for measurement of blood flow velocities and resistive indexes ( Rl ) of the ophthalmic artery ( OA ) , short posterior ciliary arteries ( sPCA ) and central retinal artery ( CRA ) in 21 eyes of 21 PDR patients with anterior segment neovascularization. CDFl parameters were obtained before and 3mo after vitrectomy combined with panretinal photocoagulation ( PRP) .
● RESULTS: Peak systolic velocity ( PSV ) and end diastolic velocity ( EVD ) of CRA were significantly increased after surgeries, Rl were decreased significantly (P<0. 05). Parameters of sPCA and OA have no change after surgeries (P>0. 05).
●CONCLUSION: Vitrectomy combined with panretinal photocoagulation might increase the velocity of CRA, decrease Rl and improve ocular blood supply postoperatively. lt may delay or prevent the process of neovascular glaucoma.

T mutation was detected in the 4th propositus at the 9th intron,but any COL1A1 or COL1A2 gene mutation was detected in the third propositus and the other members in the former families.Conclusions The genetic mutation of COL1A1 may result in OI in China,but other mutations may also exist.Moreover,the phenotype was influenced not only by OI genotype,but also by the genetic background,environment and other factors.
