Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2008;24(6):440-443
Objective To evaluate the effects of inflammatory cytokines,including tumor necrosisfactor TNF-α and interleukins(IL-6 and IL-8),to the expression of pigment epithelium-derived factor(PEDF)in human retinal pigment epithelium(RPE)cells.Method Cuhured primary human RPE cellswere treated with 20,2,0.2,and 0.02 ng/ml of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-8 separately.The levels of PEDFexpression were determined by Western blot of the supernant after 6,1 2,24 and 48 hours of culture.Results PEDF secretion of RPE cells was inhibited by TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-8 in a time-and dose-dependent fashion.Compared with the controls,the expression of PEDF decreased significantly in 0.02ng/ml and 6 hours group(F=7.14,P<0.05),2.00 ng/ml and 48 hours group(F=14.05,P<0.01),and 20.00 ng/ml and 24 hours group(F=11.53,P<0.01).TNF-α was the most strength inhibitor(F=14,P<0.01).Conclusion TNF-α,IL-6,and IL-8 could suppress the expression of PEDF in thecultured human RPE cells.

Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2011;27(4):363-365
Objective To investigate the risk factors and treatment of silicone oil glaucoma (SOG).Methods Ninety-five eyes of 93 patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade were evaluated in this study. The lens was removed in 58 eyes in which intraocular lens (IOL) was implanted in 10 eyes, so 48 eyes were aphakic. Silicone oil tamponade time was ≤6 months in 32 eyes,and >6 months in 63 eyes. The follow-up time ranged from 2 to 25 months, with a mean of (9.5±5.1)months. The fundus and intraocular pressure (IOP) were evaluated at 1 week, 2 weeks and 1 month after surgery. The diagnosis of SOG was established if the one-month postoperative IOP > 21 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), and primary and neovascular glaucoma were excluded. After the diagnosis of SOG, carteolol hydrochloride and brinzolamide solution were immediately applied to the eye, and intravenous mannitol infusion was performed. If the IOP still can not be controlled after 1 week of such treatment, silicone oil removal surgery will be performed. If removal of silicone oil can not control the IOP,trabeculectomy surgery will be performed. Results SOG occurred in 21 eyes (22.1%), including 5 phakic eyes (10.6% of 47 phakic eyes) and 16 aphakic eyes (33.3% of 48 aphakic eyes) , 3 eyes (9.4% of 32 eyes)with short tamponade time (≤6 months) and 18 eyes (28.6% of 63 eyes) with long tamponade time (>6months). The average silicone oil tamponade time was (10.8±5.1) months. Emulsification of the silicone oil occurred in 17 eyes (81.0%). After silicone oil removed, IOP was controlled in 17 eyes (81.0%) within one week. Conclusions Aphakic eye and the duration of silicone oil tamponade are the risk factors of SOG.Emulsification of silicone oil is the main cause. Silicone oil removal is an effective way to treat SOG.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of cryptotanshinone (CTS) and donepezil(DON) on amyloid-βprotein (Aβ)-induced apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells .Methods SH-SY5Y cells were cultured in vitro for establishing the Alzheimer disease (AD) model .The cell viability was detected by the MTT assay .The apoptosis rate was measured by Hoechst 33342 and the expres-sion of Bcl-2 and Bax was detected by Western blot .Results CTS ,DON and their combination could obviously alleviate Aβ-caused injury of SH-SY5Y cells ,increase the cell survival rate ,remarkably up-regulate the expression of Bcl-2 protein ,decrease the expres-sion of Bax protein and inhibit the apoptosis .The effect of the CTS and DON combination for inhibiting apoptosis was significantly stronger than that of the single use of CTS and DON ,the difference had statistical significance(P<0 .05) .Conclusion The combi-nation of CTS and DON has the synergistic protective effect on Aβ-caused injury in SH-SY5Y cells ,its mechanisms may be related with the cooperation regulation of the expression of apoptosis related gene Bcl-2 protein family .

OBJECTIVE:To investigate and analyze the causative factors and characteristics of drug-induced rhabdomyolysis in China,in order to reduce the incidence of rhabdomyolysis. METHODS:Search all cases of rhabdomyolysis in China Knowledge Re-source Integrated Database from Jan 1975 to Jun 2014. Sex,age,disease history,drugs administered,drug combination,clinical presentation and outcome of rhabdomyolysis were censused and analyzed. RESULTS:There were altogether 185 rhabdomyolysis cas-es reported,of which 57.8% were over 60 years old ,78.9% were induced by lipid regulators,and 55.7% were by statins;74.1%occurred within 1 month after drug administration,and 86.6% became normal within 1 month when causative drugs discontinued or with treatment;and 4.9% died. CONCLUSIONS:Eldly,complicated with multi-factors,such as multiple organ dysfunction syn-drome,irrational drug combination and over-doses,especially with lipid regulators,are important causative factors of rhabdomyoly-sis. Individualized administration of drugs and prescription as less as possible should be recommended to reduce the incidence of rhabdomyolysis.

Objective To study the gene homology of intestinal colonized and infectious bacteria in ICU patients to provide the epidemiological and molecular biological basis for formulating the control measures of multi resistant bacterial hospital infection. Methods The multi-drug resistant colonized bacteria isolated from the anal swabs and the same multi-drug resistant bacteria isola-ted from the clinical samples in the same patients were matched.The Diversilab automatic repetitive extragenic palindromic(REP)-PCR typing system was adopted to analyze the gene homology of multi-drug resistant colonized bacteria and infectious bacteria in the intestinal tract.Results 4 pairs of multi-drug resistant colonized bacteria and the same multi-drug resistant bacteria isolated from the clinical samples on admission in the same patients were selected and performed the homology detection,2 pairs had the ho-mology and 2 pairs had no homology;4 pairs of multi-drug resistant colonized bacteria and the same multi-drug resistant bacteria isolated from the clinical samples in the patients with hospital infection were performed the homology detection,4 pairs all showed the homology.Conclusion The multi-drug resistant colonized bacteria and the infectious bacteria in ICU patients have the homolo-gy.The multi-drug resistant colonized bacteria can cause the occurrence of hospital infection,so their management should be strengthened in clinic.
