RESUMEN
Objective@#This study was to investigate the effects of MEHP on isolated rat heart and explore its mechanism.@*Methods@#The experiments were performed with Langendorff-perfused rat heart with a Langendorff apparatus. 35 SD rats were used in the experiment and there were 5 rats per group. MEHP at doses of 3.125, 6.250, 12.500 and 25.000 μmol/L were given to the hearts for 25 minutes. Effects of NAC at concentration of 5 mmol/L were evaluated by co-treatment with 12.500 or 25.000 μmol/L MEHP. Data was collected per 5 minutes for 25 minutes. The heart rate, LVDP, LVEDP, dp/dtmax, and dp/dtmin were measured and analyzed using a PL3508 Data Acquisition and Analysis System. 200 waves at least were required each time. LDH contents in heart lavage fluid were determined by photometric assays using the automated biochemical analyzer. A section of the heart tissue was used for histopathological examination. DCFH-DA method was used to detect the levels of reactive oxygen species in different groups of heart tissues.@*Results@#There was a concentration dependent decrease of heart rate (P<0.05) . At concentrations of 6.250, 12.500 and 25.000 μmol/L, MEHP significantly decreased the LVDP, dp/dtmax and dp/dtmin (P<0.05) , and this decrease is more pronounced with perfusion time. As the MEHP was given up to 6.250, 12.500 and 25.000 μmol/L, a statistical significance was found in the increase of LVEDP (P<0.05) . For dp/dtmin, a significant increase was observed at the concentration of 3.125 μmol/L when perfused with 10 and 15 min (P<0.05) , but this increase disappeared over time. LDH in cardiac perfusate increased as the MEHP given a higher concentration (P<0.05) . Compared with the control group, Histopathological analysis showed edema of myocardial tissue and cells, and inflammatory cells infiltration and myocardial cells necrosis were obvious in the MEHP perfusion groups. Myocardial ROS levels of the four MEHP treatment groups were all significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05) . These heart damage induced by MEHP could be attenuated by NAC in different degrees.@*Conclusion@#MEHP can induce damage to myocardial tissue of isolated rat heart and one possible mechanism is the oxidative stress
RESUMEN
This paper aimed to evaluate the clinical application value of vitrectomy combined with intraocular drug injection on treatment of severe endophthalmitis. Retrospective analyzed the 28 eyes for the 28 cases of patients suffering severe endophthalmitis, and with treatment of pars plana vitrectomy combined with intraocular drug injection, and foreign matter removal surgery. This study also analyzed the whole body and local application of antibiotics data, and clinical data of corticosteroid drug treatment. This study had followed up 6 to 12 monthes, 28 intraocular infected eyes of the 28 cases all had got controlled. The vision of 26 eyes improved to some degree, 2 eyes had eyeball atrophy. vitrectomy combined with intraocular drug injection was the most effective method to treatment the suppurative endophthalmitis
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:Studies have found that a variety of biological materials can be used for preparing corneal stroma scaffolds that have good biocompatibility, but research on preparation and biocompatibility of the acel ular porcine corneal stroma scaffold is little. OBJECTIVE:To explore the preparation and biocompatibility of the acel ular porcine corneal stroma scaffold. METHODS:Acel ular porcine corneal stroma scaffold and its extract were prepared. Wel-grown human corneal stromal cel s were selected and cultured in the extract of acel ular porcine corneal stroma scaffold (experimental group) or in the complete medium (control group), respectively. After 1, 2 and 3 days of culture, the proliferation ability of human corneal stromal cel s was detected by MTT assay. In the meanwhile, human corneal cel s were directly seeded onto the acel ular porcine corneal stroma scaffold, and then the cel growth on the scaffold was detected using immunochemical method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The number of human corneal stromal cel s was in a rise with time in the two groups, and absorbance values had no significant difference between two groups at different time points of culture. Human corneal stromal cel s grew wel on the scaffold, and were positive for cel integrinβ1, vimentin, aldehyde dehydrogenase 3A1, as wel as CD34, CDK2 and K-Ras. These results show that the acel ular porcine corneal stroma scaffold has no cytotoxicity, and has good biocompatibility.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:Stem cel transplantation is a new method for blinding eye disease. But there is a lack of research about the protective effect of retinal stem cel transplantation on retinal ganglion cel s in glaucoma. OBJECTIVE:To explore the protective effect of retinal stem cel transplantation on retinal ganglion cel s of rats with glaucoma. METHODS:Forty-five Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups (n=15 per group) including control, model and retinal stem cel transplantation groups. Rat models of glaucoma were prepared in the latter two groups, and at 7 days after modeling, rats in the three groups were given intravitreal injection of 1 mL retinal stem cel s (5x106 cel s), the same amount of PBS, and no treatment, respectively. Subsequently, relative indicators were detected at 2 weeks after transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The expressions of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and insulin-like growth factor I protein as wel as the number of retinal ganglion cel s were the highest in the control group, fol owed by the retinal stem cel transplantation group model group, and the lowest in the model group (P<0.05). The number of apoptotic retinal ganglion cel s in model group was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05), and which in the retinal stem cel transplantation group was significantly lower than that in the model group (P<0.05), but higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). These results suggest that retinal stem cel transplantation for rat glaucoma can exert a protective effect on retinal ganglion cel s.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect and influential factors of intrauterine device (IUD) after insertion under B-type ultrasound guidance. Methods A total of 434 healthy women of childbearing potential, aged for 18 to 40 years were enrolled. After IUD insertion under ultrasound guidance, the uterine profile was observed during the procedure and the patients’ biological characteristic was recorded and gynecologic examiation was performed at month 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 during following up. All data were analyzed with SPSS software. Results There was no accident in operation.In 18 months after IUD insertion, the pregnancy rate with IUD was 1.94%,the expulsion rate was 4.59% and the removal rate was 5.54%. The risk factors of expulsion were the history with cesarean delivery and artificial abortion plus IUD insertion (P
RESUMEN
In our research, we let 30 cases with parturient hypertension syndrome (PHS) as the experimental group and 30 other cases of normal pregnancy as the control group. The Cu, Zn and Cd of each sample collected from maternal serum, umbilical serum and placenta were surveyed by means of the atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results chowed as follows: 1.The maternal serum Zn level of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group (P0.05) in the Zn, Cu level and Cu/Zn ratio of the umbilical serum and placenta between the experimental and control group. 4. There was no coordination in the Zn, Cu lenel and Cu/Zn ratio (r0.05) between 2 groups, but the Zn level and Cu/Zn ratio of the placenta and umbilical serum showed coordination between the 2 groups (Zn: r=0.44, p
