?Silent information regulator protein 1 ( SlRT1 ) is a kind of histone deacetylases class lll on which cell metabolism coenzyme NAD+ is dependent. By the transcriptional regulation, it participates in the regulation of gene transcription, energy metabolism and cell aging process, which can prolong the lifespan of organisms and delay the development of various age-related diseases and has attracted much attention in the field of anti - aging research. ln recent years, studies have shown that SlRT1 occupies an important position in the pathogenesis of many ophthalmic diseases, especially in ocular surface diseases, glaucoma, cataracts, uveitis, and ocular fundus diseases, etc. There is a possibility that the promotion of SlRT1 activity would be the new drug target of ophthalmic therapy. The paper will review studies on SlRT1 and ophthalmic diseases.

Objective: To investigate the effect of all trans retinoid acid (ATRA) on bone cell proliferation and differentiation. Methods: Newborn rat calvarial osteoblastic cells were isolated and the metabolism of the osteoblastic cells were determined by MTT, Goldens method and immunocytohistologic method. Results: 10 -5 , 10 -6 , 10 -7 , 10 -8 , 10 -9 mol/L ATRA could increase osteoblastic cells proliferation after 72 h culture; 10 -5 , 10 -6 , 10 -7 mol/L ATRA could increase ALP activity. The expression of cyclin D 1 was decreased. Conclusion: ATRA stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of rat calvarial osteoblastic cells in vitro. Cell cycle relative proteins may play an important role in control of cell proliferation and differentiation induced by retinoic acid and derivatives.

The cerebral blood flow of infant is effected by physiological and pathological factors.As the cerebrovascular autoregulation of neonates is poor,in pathological cases,especially when hypoxemia and hypercapnia impaired regulation of its own,lead to changes in cerebral blood flow,then resulting in severe brain injury.It has made enormous progress in the research on the changes of cerebral blood flow in newborns in recent years.In normal infants,cerebral blood flow velocities is positively correlated to gestational age and body weight,and increase gradually with day-age in the first week after birth.The cerebral blood flow of newborn with brain injury can present as insufficiency,over-perfusion or low speed high-resistance earlier and high speed low-resistance later.Different results may be related to the duration and severity of asphyxia,but all of those are signs of damage of self-regulatory function of cerebral blood flow.Cerebral hemodynamic change is the important pathogenesis mechanism of brain injury.

As one branch of epigenetics, the sirtuins family ( ClassⅢ histone deacetylase) receive much attention in recent years. SIRT1 as the most famous of the sirtuins family members has been verified involved in a variety of age-related diseases. While the SIRT1 formation is paid more and more attention in age-related cataract. Now, we briefly overviewed the research progress on the role of SIRT1 in age-related cataract.

Objective To investigate the cytokine spectrum of cultured human amniotic-derived mesenchymal stem cells (A-MSC) for understanding its basis of molecular biology in hematopoietic in vitro.Methods Their hematopoietic cytokines expression was analyzed using RT-PCR in the mRNA level. Results It showed that in vitro subcultured human amniotic-derived mesenchymal stem cells were capable to express many important hematopoietic cytokines such as LIF, SCF, M-CSF, G-CSF, GM-CSF, IL-3, IL-6, IL-11 and so on. Conclusion Production of abundant of hematopoietic cytokines by human amniotic-derived mesenchymal stem cells may be effective for hematopoietic support and HSC transplantation.

Background Many studies and clinical trials of pharmacologic vitreolysis are already under way to try to improve vitreo-retinal surgery and to liquefy and detach the vitreous from the retina ultimately, including chondroitinase,hyaluronidase,dispase and plasmin. However, there has not been any report on purification of human plasminogen from cord blood plasma and inducing posterior vitreous detachment of the animal eye at present.Objective This study was designed to isolate and purify the production of human plasminogen (Plg) from cord blood plasma with ethanol precipitation and evaluate the efficacy of Plg in inducing posterior vitreous detachment (PVD).Methods Human Plg was Separated and purified from cord blood plasma by ethanol precipitation method. The protein band corresponding to Plg with molecular mass of 92 000 was revealed in SDS-PAGE and confirmed by MALDI-TOF and Mascot database. Anion-exchange chromatography and plasminogen activity assay kit were used to obtain purified Plg with biological activity. Twenty-five fresh pig eyes were enucleated and assigned to 5 groups and 5 eyes for each group. The normal eyes were used as control group. Balanced salt solution(BSS)of 0.1 ml was intravitreally group and standard substance group. All of the eyes were then incubatedfor 60 minutes under the 37 ℃. Retinal histopathology and ultrastructure were examined under the light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy ( SEM ) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results The Plg with potential fibrinolytic activity was successfully extracted and purified from cord blood plasma by ethanol precipitation method. No posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) was seen in normal control group, BSS group and r-SK group following the intravitreal injection under the sem. However,PVD was demonstrated in r-SK+ Plg group and standard substance group under the SEM. The inner limiting membrane ( ILM ) and the retina were well preserved in all of the experimental eyes. No retinal morphology and ultrastructural abnormality were found under the light and SEM and TEM. Conclusion Ethanol precipitation is a feasible way to isolate and purify Plg from human cord blood plasma. Extracted Plg shows potential fibrinolytic intravitreal injection of Plg.

BACKGROUND:Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells have the ability to self-renew and have pluripotent potential under specific conditions in vitro, which have broad application prospects in clinical practice. However, isolation and culture of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells stil appear to have many difficulties and shortcomings. OBJECTIVE:To isolate and culture rabbit adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in vitro in order to study their morphology, cellsurface markers and biological properties as wel as to investigate the osteogenic and adipogenic potentials of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. METHODS:Primary adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from the subcutaneous adipose tissue of posterior cervical region from New Zealand white rabbits and digested by 0.1%col agenase I. The cells were passaged and amplified by the trypsin digestion. The passage 4 adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were induced to differentiate after exposure to adipogenic or osteogenic medium. The oil red O staining, alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red staining were used to detect the results. The cellviability was detected by the cellcounting kit 8 method to drawn the growth curve. cellsurface markers were examined using flow cytometry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells isolated from the subcutaneous adipose tissue of rabbits exhibited a fusiform adherent growth in a vortex pattern, and had a strong capability of proliferation that could be passaged stably to the 10th generation. Flow cytometry results showed that the cells highly expressed CD29, CD90, CD44, but lowly expressed CD45 and CD34. After adipogenic induction, the adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were positive for oil red O staining;after osteogenic induction, the cells were both positive for alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red staining. These findings suggest that the adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were successful y isolated and cultured from the subcutaneous adipose tissue of rabbits, and these cells are pluripotent with the potential to differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts, which are expected to be ideal seed cells for bone tissue engineering.
