Objective :
To investigate the effect and mechanism of celecoxib on retinal vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in rats with diabetic retinopathy.
Methods :
Forty - five SD rats were divided into normal control group (NC) , diabetic retinopathy group (DR) , celecoxib intervention diabetic retinopathy group ( DR + C) . The diabetic model was established by intraperitoneal injection of 1% STZ. After one month , celecoxib (50 mg/kg) was given intragastric administration (1/day) in the DR + C group. Two months later, serum total cholesterol (TC) and insulin were detected. The histopathological changes of the retina were observed. The expression of junctional adhesion molecule⁃like protein (JAML) , VEGF and their signal pathway proteins and the distributions of interleukin⁃10 (IL⁃10) , vascular cell adhesion molecules⁃1(VCAM⁃1) were detected by Western blot. HUVEC cells were divided into normal glucose group (NG) , high glucose group (HG) and high glucose plus celecoxib group (HG + C) to detect the expression of the above proteins.
Results :
Compared with DR , retina in DR + C group was thinner. The retina in the DR + C group was thicker than that in the NC group. The levels of retinal JAML ,phosphatidylinositol kinase3(PI3K), phosphorylphosphatidylinositol kinase3(P⁃PI3K) , hypoxia⁃inducible factor1 ⁃α (HIF1 ⁃α ) , and VEGF in DR + C group were lower than those in DR group ,while higher than those in NC group. The expression of retinal IL⁃10 and VCAM⁃1 decreased . The content of TC in DR + C and DR group was higher than those in NC group (P < 0. 01) , while the content of insulin in DR + C and DR group was lower than thlse in NC group (P < 0. 001) . Compared with HG group , the expressions of JAML , PI3K , P ⁃PI3K , HIF1 ⁃α , VEGF in HG + C group decreased , but was higher than those in NG group. There was no significant difference in PI3K among the three groups.
Conclusion
Celecoxib can decrease the expression of VEGF , IL⁃10 , VCAM⁃1 in retina of DR rats , which may be related to the PI3K/HIF1 ⁃α signaling pathway mediated by JAML.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic yield and safety of transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) under virtual bronchoscopic navigation (Direct Path), endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath (GS) and rapid on-site evaluation using an ultrathin bronchoscopy (UNRE) for bacterial infection located in the peripheral third of the lung field. Methods Ninety-seven patients with bacterial infection, which located in the peripheral third of the lung field on CT images, were ran-domly assigned to UNRE (n=49) or non-UNRE (NUNRE, n=48) groups, who were treated in General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University between April 1, 2014 and March 31, 2015. The TBLB guided by UNRE was performed in two groups. The diagnostic yield, safety and complication rate were compared between two groups. Moreover, the differences of autofluo-rescence intensity of alveolar macrophage in alveolar lavage fluid were compared between two groups of patients. Results The diagnostic yield was significantly higher in UNRE group than that of NUNRE group (81.6% vs 56.2%, χ2=7.313, P <0.01). The diagnostic yield was higher in UNRE group with bronchus sign compared to that of NUNRE. All patients had a mild bleeding at the time of biopsy. There were no hemoptysis, pneumothorax or other serious complications. The autofluores-cence intensity of alveolar macrophage was different in different levels of infection in patients. Conclusion The procedure of UNRE has higher diagnostic rate and fewer complications. The careful selection of suitable cases can further improve the diagnostic accuracy. The autofluorescence intensity of alveolar macrophage in alveolar lavage fluid indicates the severity of infection in patients.

Objective To explore the repair possibilities of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs)in peripheral blood in patients with different extents of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) through measuring the levels of pro-angiogenic factors and different subgroups EPCs in peripheral blood in patients with OSA. Methods Ninety adult patients with OSA, 30 healthy controls with matched age and gender were enrolled for this study. The subjects performed Polysomnography, were divided in-to four group based on Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI). The serum levels of HIF-1α, SDF-1αand VEGF were assessed by ELISA. Mononuclear cells were isolated from peripheral blood with density gradient centrifugation, and flow cytometry was used to detect levels of CD133+KDR+EPC, CD133+CD34+EPC, CD34+KDR+EPC and ALDHloCD34+KDR+EPC based on AL-DH activity, and CD133, CD34, PE-KDR related cell surface markers. Results The levels of CD133+KDR+EPC, CD133+CD34+EPC, CD34+KDR+EPC were higher in OSA groups than those of control group, both of which were higher in severe OSA group than those of in mild and moderate OSA groups. The levels of ALDHloCD34+KDR+EPC were higher in mild and moderate OSA groups than that of the control groups, and the levels of ALDHloCD34+KDR+EPC were significantly lower in se-vere OSA group than those of control, mild and moderate OSA groups. Serum levels of HIF-1α. VEGF were significantly high-er in OSA groups compared to those in control groups, both of which were higher in severe OSA group than those of mild and moderate OSA groups. Serum levels of SDF-1αwere significantly lower in severe OSA groups than those of mild, moderate OSA and control groups (P<0.05). Conclusion The mobilization and recruitment of different subtypes of EPCs are obvious-ly increased in patients with OSA, but ALDHloCD34+KDR+EPC with vascular repair capacity keeps to invariability, even de-creases in patients with severe OSA, which results in endothelial damage, and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.

OBJECTIVETo explore the molecular biology mechanism of acupuncture on improving immune function damage induced by chemotherapy in cancer-bearing mice.
METHODSSeventy-two mice (36 mice in 3-day treatment and 5-day treatment, respectively) which were successfully made into cancer-bearing model were divided into a blank group, a model group, an acupuncture group and a moxibustion group by stratified randomization method, 9 mice in each one. Except for the mice in the blank group, the remaining mice were treated with intra-peritoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (CTX, 150 mg/kg), to establish the cancer-bearing mice of CTX. The mice in the blank group were treated with intraperitoneal injection of 0.9% NaCl (identical dose as other groups). After 4 h, the mice in the acupuncture group and moxibustion group were treated with acupuncture and moxibustion at "Dazhui" (GV 14), "Geshu" (BL 17), "Shenshu" (BL 23), "Zusanli" (ST 36), once a day. The mice in the blank group and model group were treated with immobilization and fixation during the same time. On the next day of the end of 3-day and 5-day treatment, the sample was collected. The ELISA method was applied to measure the contents of IL-12 and TNF-α in spleen of all the mice.
RESULTSAfter 3-day and 5-day treatment, compared with the blank group, the contents of IL-12 and TNF-α in spleen in the model group were reduced (all P < 0.05); compared with the model group, the contents of IL-12 and TNF-α in spleen in the acupuncture group and moxibustion group were increased (all P < 0.05), but the content of IL-12 and TNF-α in the acupuncture group was not different from that in the moxibustion group (both P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONAcupuncture and moxibustion could effectively increase the contents of IL-12 and TNF-α in spleen of CTX cancer-bearing mice, which could relieve chemotherapy-induced immune function damage to improve immune function.
