Healing effect analysis of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in 288 myopic cases / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

AlM: To understand the prognostic factors of myopic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment ( RRD) surgery, and provide guidance for clinical treatment. METHODS: This retrospective study included 288 myopic RRD eyes ( excluding trauma, aphakia, congenital diseases, tractional and exudative retinal detachment ) from April 2007 to April 2014 in our department. The surgical anatomic reduction situation was statistically recorded, the effects of hole's size, retinal detachment duration on sight restoration and surgery success rate were analyzed RESULTS:The statistical results showed that 245 eyes (85. 1%) healed after their first operation, about 95. 1%cases finally healed after their second or third operation. The degree of myopia and aging factor influenced the RRD operation:the higher degree and the older age were, the lower success rates were (P CONCLUSlON:Surgery is an effective means of treating myopic RRD. The older patients have lower success rates. A higher degree of myopia led lower reset rate after retinal detachment surgery and poor postoperative visual acuity. When treat myopic RRD, we should pay attention to the recovery of visual function.

Mitochondrial membrane potential at HL-60 cell apoptosis induced by cytarabine / 中国实验血液学杂志

This study was aimed to investigate the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsim) of HL-60 cells induced by cytarabine and the correlation between mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptosis of HL-60 cells. HL-60 cells were stained with Rhodamine 123; change of mitochondrial membrane potential of HL-60 cells was detected by flow cytometry. AO/EB staining and flow cytometry were used to examine the apoptosis of HL-60 cells. The results showed that the levels of HL-60 cell DeltaPsim in experimental groups decreased after cultured for 6 hours. In Ara-C 0.05 mg/ml group, rhodamine 123 fluorescence intensity in mitochondria of HL-60 cells at 6, 12, 24 hours were 117.9+/-7.6, 100.9+/-7.7, 87.6+/-10.7, respectively, there was significant difference between the different culture groups (p<0.05). In Ara-C 0.1 mg/ml group, rhodamine 123 fluorescence intensity in mitochondria of HL-60 cells at 6, 12, 24 hours were 111.9+/-10.1, 86.6+/-9.2, 68.4+/-12.2, respectively, there was significant difference between the different culture groups (p<0.05); rhodamine 123 fluorescence intensity was significantly different between the two groups at 12, 24 hours (p<0.05). In Ara-C 0.05 mg/ml group, the apoptosis rate of HL-60 cells at 6, 12, 24 hours were (41.2+/-3.0)%, (53.7+/-5.1)%, (65.8+/-2.6)% respectively, there was significant difference between the different culture groups (p<0.01); In Ara-C 0.1 mg/ml group, the apoptosis rate of HL-60 cells at 6, 12, 24 hours were (45.7+/-4.1)%, (58.2+/-4.3)%, (70.1+/-2.3)% respectively, there was significant difference between the different culture groups (p<0.01); the apoptosis rates showed no significantly difference between the two groups at same time. The changes of mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptosis rate of HL-60 cells were significantly negatively correlated. In Ara-C 0.05 mg/ml group, r was -0.89, p<0.01, while in Ara-C 0.1 mg/ml group, r was -0.76, p<0.01. It is concluded that the mitochondrial membrane potential on HL-60 cells decrease at HL-60 cells apoptosis induced by Ara-C, therefore the reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential may be one of the important mechanisms at the induced apoptosis.

Effect of Mycobacterium phlei F.U.36 suspended liquor on culture and proliferation of dendritic cells derived from human umbilical cord blood in vitro / 中国实验血液学杂志

To investigate the effect of mycobacterium phlei F.U.36 suspended liquor (Utilin"s", U) on the culture and proliferation of dendritic cells (DCs) derived from human umbilical cord blood in vitro, the mononuclear cells (MNCs) were isolated from human umbilical cord blood and cultured with RPMI 1640 in the control group. Test groups consisted of Utilin"s" group (only Utilin"s"), GTI group (GM-CSF, TNF-alpha, IL-4) and GTIU group (GM-CSF, TNF-alpha, IL-4 and Utilin"s"). MNCs in all test groups were cultured with RPMI-1640. The growth of DCs was observed by the light microscopy, the phenotypes of DCs were determined by flow cytometry on the 10th day of culture, and some harvest cells were stained with Wright-Giemsa, then observed and photographed under the oil immersion objective. The results showed that the test groups all displayed some number of typical DCs; both CD1a positive cell rate and HLA-DR positive cell rate of the Utilin"s" group were higher than those of the control; HLA-DR positive cell rate of GTIU group increased most significantly and much higher than that of the GTI group. It is concluded that mycobacterium phlei F.U.36 not only promotes the proliferation of DCs derived from human umbilical cord blood in vitro, but also co-operates with rhGM-CSF, rhTNF-alpha and rhIL-4 in promoting the maturity of DCs.
