Objective To study the effect of dynamic pressure on the expression of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP)mRNA in metaphyseal cartilage stem cells of rats so as to further explore whether fiber actin (F-actin)is involved in the mechanical signal transduction process.Methods We isolated and cultured metaphyseal cartilage stem cells of rats by immunomagnetic beads.The third-generation rat metaphyseal cartilage stem cells were randomly divided into four groups:0%,3%,6%,and 12% deformed groups according to the size of dynamic pressure strength.We used a self-prepared dynamic tonic culture device to exert different intensity of pressure on each group of cells for 24 hours.Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle distribution and apoptosis rate.The expression of PTHrP mRNA in each group was detected by Rea-l time quantitative PCR. Furthermore,the third-generation rat metaphyseal cartilage stem cells were randomly divided into four groups:control group,simple pressure group (6% deformation),pressure+cytoskeleton relaxin D group,and simple cytoskeleton relaxin D group according to whether or not to apply pressure and cytoskeleton relaxin D.F-actin fibers in each group of cells were stained with phalloidin and placed under a laser scanning confocal microscope.The expression of PTHrP mRNA in each group was detected by Real-time quantitative PCR.Results The results of flow cytometry showed no significant difference in G0/G1,G2/M and S phases between 0%,3%,6% and 12% deformed groups (P>0.05).There was no significant difference in the apoptosis rate between 3% and 6% deformed groups compared with 0% deformed group (P>0.05).The apoptosis rate was significantly higher in 1 2 % deformed group than in control group (P<0.05).The results of laser confocal microscopy showed that the arrangement of F-actin fibers in the pressure group was neat and parallel compared with that in the control group, which was consistent with the direction of force.The intracellular F-actin fiber structure in pressure+cytoskeleton relaxin D group and simple cytoskeleton relaxin D group was destroyed and aggregated into clusters.Real-time quantitative PCR results showed that PTHrP mRNA expression did not significantly differ between 3% and 0% deformed groups (P>0.05).The expression of PTHrP mRNA in 6% and 12% deformed groups was significantly higher than that in 0% group (P<0.05).The expression of PTHrP mRNA in the cells of simple pressure group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the expression of PTHrP mRNA between simple cytoskeleton relaxin D group and control group (P>0.05).The mRNA expression of PTHrP was higher in pressure+cytoskeleton relaxin D group than that in control group,but lower than in simple pressure group (P<0.05).Conclusion The dynamic pressure of proper intensity can increase the mRNA expression of PTHrP in chondrocytes of metaphyseal hypertrophy in rats,and F-actin is involved in the mechanical signal transduction process.

Methods The rat metaphyseal chondrocytes separated and cultured for the 3rd generation in vitro were randomly divided into four groups:control group (all interventions were not applied), simple dynamic pressure group (a dynamic pressure stimulus with a size of 90 mmHg and a frequency of 0.1 Hz was applied using an open pressure control culture system), simple calcium antagonist group (the concentration of 10μmol/L nifedipine was given) and dynamic pressure+calcium antagonist group (a dynamic pressure stimulus with a size of 90 mmHg, frequency of 0.1 Hz and concentration of 10 μmol/L nifedipine were given at the same time). The expression of Sox9 mRNA was detected after 24 h intervention by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in four groups. The expression of Sox9 protein was detected by Western blot assay. The intracellular free Ca2+ in metaphyseal chondrocytes was labeled with Fluo-3/AM, and the average fluorescence intensity detected by laser scanning confocal scanning microscopy was compared between four groups. Results The expression of Sox9 mRNA was 3.81 times higher in dynamic stress group than that in the control group, and the protein expression level was 2.33 times higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the expression of Sox9 mRNA and protein between the calcium antagonist group and the control group. The expressions of Sox9 mRNA and protein were lower in dynamic pressure+calcium antagonist group than those in the dynamic stress group, but which were higher than those of control group(P<0.05). The results of average fluorescence intensity showed that there was no significant difference in the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration between four groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Dynamic stress stimulation can increase the expression of Sox9 mRNA and protein in rat metaphyseal chondrocytes. There is calcium channel involvement in the mechanical signal transduction.

AIM:To evaluate the optic nerve and axon impairment of relapsing - remitting multiple sclerosis ( RRMS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders ( NMOSD ) via detecting the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) and the ganglion cell complex( GCC) thickness by optic coherence tomography(OCT). METHODS: Retrospective case control study. Two hundred three cases were collected from August 2014 to January 2016 in Beijing Tian Tan Hospital. They were divided into four groups, including the normal group (n=60), the RRMS group ( n = 60 ), the NMOSD anti -aquaporin- 4 autoantibody seropositive( NMOSD- AQP4 -Ab seropositive) group (n= 48), and the NMOSD-AQP4-Abseronegative group (n = 35). All people were detected for the average and four quadrants ( superior, inferior, nasal, temporal) of pRNFL thickness and the average and two quadrants (superior, inferior) of GCC thickness with OCT. One way analysis of variance or nonparametric tests was used to compare the differences of pRNFL and GCC thickness between groups. RESULTS: Comparing with the normal group, the average and all quadrants of pRNFL and GCC thickness in the RRMS, the NMOSD - AQP4 - Ab seropositive and the NMOSD-AQP4-Ab seronegative group were thinner (P 0. 05); compared with the RRMS group, the superior pRNFL thickness in the NMOSD - AQP4 - Ab seronegative group was significantly thinner ( P 0. 05 ). Differences between groups in the GCC thickness: compared with both the RRMS and the NMOSD- AQP4- Ab seronegative group, all quadrants of GCC thickness in the NMOSD -AQP4-Ab seropositive group were significantly thinner (P0.05). CONCLUSION: The optic nerve and axon impairment in NMOSD - AQP4 - Ab seropositive group was the most severe and the impairment in RRMS group was the least severe. The impairment in NMOSD - AQP4 - Ab seronegative group was between the former two, and could be more similar to that of RMMS.
摘要
The ptrpose of this study was to investigate the effects of long-term estradiol and progesterone combined therapy on bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with Turner syndrome.Eight patients with Turner syndrome received estradiol and progesterone combined therapy for six years were observed and BMD was measured for each of them before hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and at an interval of one to two years after HRT and compared with that in normal age-sex matched women.BMD was significantly lower in patients with Turner syndrome than that in normal controls before HRT.All the patients with Turner syndrome had breast enlargement and irregular vaginal bleeding after HRT.BMD increased slightly in the patients with Turner syndrome after six-year HRT ,but still much lower than that in normal controls.Their BMD of the 2nd to 4th lumbar vertebra increased to (0.84±0.22) g/cm2 after HRT from (0.75±0.12)g/cm2 before it,with Z-score increased to -2.2±0.6 from -3.2±0.9,respectively; and overall BMD of the hip increased to (0.81±0.08) g/cm2 after HRT from (0.68±0.07) g/cm2 before it,with Z-score increased to-1.2 ± 0.3 from-2.2 ± 0.5,respectively.Long-term HRT can improve their BMD for patients with Turner syndrome but can not restore it to normal.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is a major cause of visual morbidity in East Asia. Dark-room provocative test (DRPT) has been used to determine which narrow angles have the risk to develop angle closure. However, the accuracy of DRPT might be altered because that after emerging from the dark room, the configuration of the angle is affected by the light of the slit-lamp and the appositionally closed angle reopens. The aim of this study was to examine the pupillary diameter in different light conditions and use it as a parameter to assess the accuracy of dark-room provocative test.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Patients with suspected primary angle-closure glaucoma undergoing DRPT were recruited. The anterior chamber angle was examined by anterior segment optical coherence tomography under the following conditions: (1) in standard room illumination; (2) after short-term dark-adaptation and (3) after DRPT. Mean values of pupil size and numbers of appositionally closed angle under different conditions were compared.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A total of 47 eyes of 47 patients were analyzed. The pupil size after DRPT was smaller than that after short-term dark-adaptation (P < 0.001) and smaller than that in standard room illumination (P = 0.026). The numbers of appositionally closed angles after short-term dark-adaptation were significantly larger than those after DRPT (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference between the numbers of appositionally closed angles in standard room illumination and after DRPT (P = 0.157).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Constriction of pupil size immediately after prolonged dark room provocative test may lead to change in the angle configuration, which may lead to false negative results. We suggest a modified protocol of recording intraocular pressure immediately after DRPT and performing gonioscopy following short-term dark adaptation to improve the accuracy of angle closure assessment.</p>
