Background The main mechanism of diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the formation of retinal neovascularization. Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) is primarily factor for DR. Objective The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of angelicae sinensis decoction for supplementing blood ( ASD), a kind of traditional prescription of Chinese herbal medicine, on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level in vitreous and serum of STZ-induced type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods Thirty-four SPF male SD rats were fed using high fat diet for 8 weeks and then the streptozocin of 25 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected to create the type 2 diabetic models. ASD (3.6 g/kg) and 10 mg/kg Gli of 5 mi were administered intragastrically from the 4th day of high fat die though 8 weeks respectively. Other 10 matched rats were used as normal control group. The body weight, blood glucose level ,triglycerides (TG) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) were detected in 4 and 8 weeks after usage of drug. The vitreous and serum samples were obtained in the 8 th weeks for the VEGF detection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). This experiment comlied with the Regulations for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission. Results The body weight and HDL in DM group were significantly lower than those of normal control group in 4 or 8 weeks ( P<0. 01 ), but in ASD and Gli groups ,the body weight and HDL were higher than those of the DM group (P<0. 05 ). the blood glucose level and TG were elevated in DM group compared with normal control group (P<0. 01 ), but those in ASD group and Gli group were decreased in comparison with DM group ( P<0.05 ). EIISA revealed that no significant differences were found in VEGF levels between normal control group and ASD group or Gli group (P>0. 05 ), but in DM group, the serum VEGF level (147.65±4. 55 ng/L) was reduced and vitreous VEGF level (673.45± 100. 85 ng/L) was raised,showing the considerable differences (P< 0.05 ). No any correlation was found between serum VEGF level and vitreous VEGF level (r=0.314,P>0. 05). Conclusion ASD can decrease the VEGF level in vitreous,implying that ASD postpone the occurrence of diabetic retinopathy in DM rat.

Background The key premise of genetic research and treatment is to select the desired gene vector,ultrasound microbubbles as a new type of gene vector can safe,fast and effectively enhance the gene transfection and expression by reversibility increasing the permeability of cells. Objective This study was to observe the effects of ciliary neurotrophic factor(CNTF)gene mediated by ultrasound microbubbles intraocular transfer on visual function and retinal ganglion cell(BGCs)after optic nerve injury. Methods Fifty-five adult Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were divided into 6 groups randomly,including normal control group(n=5),sham injury group(n=10),simple injury group(n=10),naked plasmid group(n=10),plasmid+ultrasonic irradiation group(n=10)and ultrasound microbubbles group(n=10).The model of optic nerve injury Was made by forceps clip on the fight optic nerve.and the corresponding intervene was performed in different groups.Flash visual evoked potential(F

Objective To evaluated the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor -C(VEGF-C) in children with neurob-lastomaor willms' tumors. Methods The specimens from 33 cases with neuroblastoma and 30 cases with willms' tumors were detected by immunohistochemical staining method. Results In thirty - three cases of neuroblastoma, stage III VEGF - C positive rate were 37.5% (3/8),stage IV were 32% (8/25);favourable histological(FH) were 45%(9/20),unfavourable favourable histological(UFH) were 30.8%(4/13).Cases with distant meta stasis were 32% (8/25),and cases with lymph node involvement were 66.7%(4/6). In 30 cases with willms' tumors,stage I + II were 26.7% (4/15),while stage III + IV were 40% (6/15), FH were 27.3% (6/22), while UFH were 25% (2/8). Cases with distant metastasis were 33.3% (4/12),and cases with lymph node involvement were 60% (3/5). VEGF-C positive expression rate was significantly higher in tumors from children with lymph node metastasis than those without. Conclusion The study shows that expression of VEGF -C is related to lymph node metastasis.

It is a common understanding that turbidity and precipitation of traditional Chinese medicine are easy to occur in the process of decocting. At present, our research group found that the cause of "multi-phase of traditional Chinese medicine decoction" mainly came from the interaction between the effective components of traditional Chinese medicine, especially the interaction of acid and base components. For example, the

The aim was to construct and identify the mammalian expression vector of pCAG-IRES-SHIP-GFP and to detect whether it could express in human acute leukemia cell line K562.The cDNA fragment of SHIP obtained by RT-PCR was inserted into pCAG-IRES-GFP.The recombinant plasmid was confirmed by restriction enzyme digesiton,PCR and DNA sequecing.pCAG-IRES-SHIP-GFP was transfected into K562 cells with lipofectamine 2000.The expression of SHIP was determined by GFP fluorescence and Western blot analysis.FQ-PCR was used to quantitate SHIP mRNA.The expression of p-Akt,Akt were determined by Western blot.PI were tested by flow cytometry and MTT to verify whether exogenous SHIP could inhibit proliferation of K562 cells.The results showed that the correct constrution of the recombinant plasmid pCAG-IRES-SHIP-GFP has been shown by restriction enzyme digestion,PCR and DNA sequencing.pCAG-IRES-SHIP-GFP could express SHIP protein in K562 cells.The K562 cells viability after transfected with SHIP gene droped down.Western blot analysis showed that phospha-Akt308 and Akt473 were reduced to 38.7% and 68% respectively.It was concluded that the vector of pCAG-IRES-SHIP-GFP has been successfully constructed and it can be expressed in K562 cells.The expression of exogenous SHIP gene can lead to apoptosis of K562 cells by down-regulating the p-Akt expression.What found here might be one of the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of leukemia.

This study attempts to discuss the correlation between UGT1A1*28 as uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase gene promoter and coding region Gly71Arg gene polymorphism with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia of neonates in Wuhan.A total of 168 neonates were divided into the hyperbilirubinemia group (case group,n=108) and healthy neonates group (control group,n=60).Their DNA was obtained through blood extraction.The gene exon mutation of UGT1A1 was detected by Sanger sequencing,which revealed the relationship between UGT 1A 1*28 and Gly71Arg polymorphism with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia of neonates.The results showed that:(1) The frequency of UGT1Al*28 allele mutation in the case group and the control group was 9.3% and 10% respectively,with the difference being not significant between the two groups (P>0.05).(2) The frequency of Gly71Arg allele mutation in the case group and the control group was 35.1% and 21.7% respectively,with the difference being significant between the two groups (P<0.01).(3) The serum bilirubin level of Gly71Arg mutant homozygous and heterozygous subgroups (n=66) in the case group was 302.7±31.4 μmol/L,which was significantly higher than 267.3±28.5 μmol/L of the wild subgroup (n=42) (P<0.01).It was suggested that the occurrence of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia of neonates in Wuhan was not associated with UGT 1A1*28 gene polymorphism,but closely with the Gly71Arg gene polymorphism.Meanwhile,the Arg allele mutation was related to the degree of jaundice.
9.Micro-acupuncture system in the hairline region of the scalp.
Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2010;30(6):522-524
Studying on the acupoints in the hairline region of the scalp, it is discovered that a group of acupoints are orderly arranged in the hairline region of the scalp. Furthermore, the arrangement is highly consistent with the meridian route of zang-fu organs. Manipulating needles at acupoints in the hairline regions of the scalp may treat certain diseases, including insomnia, migraine, and Alzheimer disease. The characteristics of the acupuncture treatment at acupoints in the hairline of scalp resemble the characteristics of ear acupuncture and eye acupuncture. Thus forms a special micro-acupuncture system in the hairline regions of the scalp. This paper states the theoretical basis, the arrangement of acupoints, clinical application and operating norms.
