Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2001;0(05):-
Objective To investigate the role of antisense RNA of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI 1) in regulating the expression of PAI 1 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in aorta endothelial cells (EC) cultured in vitro. Methods The second extron of PAI 1 was amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and the product was inserted into eukaryotic cell expression vector pcDNA3.1(-) to construct PAI 1 antisence RNA recombinant plasmid. The recombinant plasmid was transfected into EC and the PAI 1 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry, Westernblot and ELISA. The effects of PAI 1 variation on VEGF were examined by immunofluorescence method. Results PAI 1 antigen was the lowest (0 017 ng/ml) in cells and the immunofluorescence representing the expression of VEGF in the cytoplasm showed the weakest at the third day after transfection. At the fifth day, PAI 1 antigen increased to 0 093 ng/ml with VEGF expression increased correspondingly. At the seventh day, PAI 1 antigen(0 143 ng/ml) and VEGF increased closed to normal level. Conclusions PAI 1 antisense RNA blocked the translation of PAI 1 proteins effectively and inhibited the expression of VEGF in aorta endothelial cells.

Recent Advances in Ophthalmology 2001;21(3):201-202
Objective To explore the clinical superiority of two kinds of chopping nucleus methods in phacoemulsification——etch and turn technique, stop and chop technique.Methods Three hundred and sixty-five eyes were performed with phacoemulsification, among which 85 eyes were performed with turn technique and 280 eyes were performed with chop technique.The results of the two kinds of chopping nucleus were analyzed.Results (1)Time of chopping nucleus:time of turn technique averaged 81.26 seconds while chop technique averaged 40.71 seconds; (2)Visual acuity in the first week after operation:turn technique:vision of 76 of 85 eyes were 0.5 of better, 7 eyes were 0.2~0.5(8.2%) and 2 eyes were 0.2 or worse; chop technique: vision of 253 of 280 eyes were 0.5 or better (90.4%), 21 eyes were 0.2~0.5(7.5%) and 6 eyes were 0.2 or worse (2.1%);(3)Reaction of corneal endothelial cells after the operation: central endothelium rugosity appeared in 4 eyes (4.7%) with turn techinque and in 7 eyes (2.5%) with chop technique. Conclusion The operation of the former is less difficult and the chopping nucleus time is longer. The time of the operation on the latter is shorter and it is appriate for hard nucleus and should be applied and spreaded. There are no marked differences as for the vision after the operation and the microcorneal injury between them.

Objective To investigate the effect of milk basic protein (MBP) on bone metabolism in normal and ovariectomized (Ovx) rats. Method Forty-eight female Sprague-Dawley rats were ovariectomized and another 12 rats received sham operation (Sham). After 10 d recovery period, the Ovx rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control, low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose MBP group. Another 44 normal female rats without ovariectomy were also divided into 4 groups as above. The MBP dosages for each group were respectively 0, 10, 20, 30 mg/kg bw. All rats were i.g. administered for 90 d. Bone mineral density (BMD) of the femur (at proximal end, middle of diaphysis, and distal end) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in vivo. The amounts of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus were analyzed by ICP-AES. Results BMD at distal end of femur was significantly higher in normal low-dose group than in normal control group while no significant effect was observed in Ovx MBP groups. As for the amounts of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, there were no significant differences among normal experimental groups and also among Ovx experimental groups. However, some variations in the level of those minerals were observed. Conclusion MBP at 10 mg/kg bw significantly elevated BMD at femoral distal end in normal rats, while no similar effect was observed in Ovx rats. Besides its influence on bone minerals, there may be another mechanism involved in its effect on bone metabolism.
