RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The objective of the study was to delineate clinical characteristics, surgical interventions, anatomic and visual outcomes of ruptured eye balls after trauma, and establish the prognostic indicators, which can assist clinicians in making correct surgical decisions during globe exploration for ruptured eyes. DESIGN: The study design used was a multicentre prospective cohort study, including six university-affiliated tertiary hospitals. PARTICIPANTS: We selected 242 cases of ruptured globe from the Eye Injury Vitrectomy Study database, until 31 December 2012. METHODS: All selected cases underwent vitreoretinal surgery, enucleation or evisceration, and were followed up for at least 6 months. Age, visual acuity (VA) after injury, ocular trauma zone, time to surgery, corneal laceration, scleral wound, extrusion of iris or lens, ciliary body damage, intraocular haemorrhage, retinal detachment or defect, proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and choroidal damage were the predisposing factors evaluated by logistic regression models. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: We compared the pre-surgical indicators between cases of anatomically restored eyes with VA of 4/200 or better, or eyes with initial no light perception restored light perception or better, and cases of VA worse than 4/200, silicone oil-sustained eyes, phthisis or enucleation. RESULTS: Nearly 40% of cases with ruptured globe were anatomically restored through vitreoretinal surgery. The closed-funnel retinal detachment or extensive retinal loss (odds ratio [OR] = 3.38, P = 0.026), PVR-C (OR = 3.45, P = 0.008), and choroidal damage (OR = 4.20, P = 0.004) were correlated with poor outcomes. CONCLUSION: The closed-funnel retinal detachment or extensive retinal loss, PVR-C, and choroidal damage are the risk factors for unfavourable outcomes in globe ruptures.

Oleanolic acid-precipitated calcium carbonate solid dispersion was prepared by using solvent evaporation method. The microscopic structure and physicochemical properties of solid dispersion were analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). And its in vitro release also was investigated. The properties of the precipitated calcium carbonate was studied which was as a carrier of oleanolic acid solid dispersion. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis suggested that oleanolic acid may be present in solid dispersion as amorphous substance. The in vitro release determination results of oleanolic acid-precipitated calcium carbonate (1: 5) solid dispersion showed accumulated dissolution rate of.oleanolic acid was up to 90% at 45 min. Accelerating experiment showed that content and in vitro dissolution of oleanolic acid solid dispersion did not change after storing over 6 months. The results indicated that in vitro dissolution of oleanolic acid was improved greatly by the solid dispersion with precipitated calcium carbonate as a carrier. The solid dispersion is a stabilizing system which has actual applied value.

PURPOSE: Formation of epiretinal membranes (ERMs) in the posterior fundus results in visual impairment. ERMs have been associated with numerous clinical conditions, including proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), a neovascular disease. Apelin has been identified as a novel angiogenesis contributor. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between apelin and ERMs after PDR. METHODS: ERM samples were obtained by vitrectomy from 12 subjects with PDR (aged 57±6 years; duration of diabetes 16±7 years), and 12 subjects with idiopathic ERM (aged 68±5 years). The samples were processed for immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). We also analyzed samples from patients with PDR who received an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (IVB) before vitrectomy. RESULTS: The mRNA expression of apelin was significantly higher in the PDR ERMs than in the idiopathic ERMs. Accordingly, immunohistochemical analysis revealed strong expression of apelin in all eight PDR ERMs without IVB, and was double-labeled with glial fibrillary acidic protein antibody (GFAP), platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (CD31), cytokeratin (CK) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) but not with fibronectin. They were mainly located in the adventitia. In contrast, the expression of apelin was lower in the PDR ERMs after IVB and the idiopathic ERMs. CONCLUSIONS: The results showed that apelin was involved in the formation of ERMs and promoted the formation of adventitia, including glial, endothelial, and RPE cells. Bevacizumab blocked the expression of apelin and regressed gliosis and angiogenesis.

BACKGROUND: In Coats' disease, the most recent development in the treatment has been the intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF agents. The purpose of this article was to evaluate the effect of intravitreal bevacizumab as the initial treatment for Coats' disease in children and adults. METHODS: The study included 14 pediatric patients and five adult patients with Coats' disease. They were treated with intravitreal bevacizumab (1.25 mg/0.05 ml) as the initial treatment, combined with or without other treatments. The analyses included the evaluation of basic clinical conditions. RESULTS: In the pediatric group, after a mean of 9.1 months of follow-up, the differences in visual acuity were significant for the comparisons between the baseline examination and the follow-up examinations carried out at weeks 6, 12, and 24 after the baseline (P = 0.006, P = 0.004, P = 0.005 respectively). Vitreoretinal fibrosis was observed in three patients (n = 3, 21.4 %), among whom two showed fibrosis before treatment. All of the pediatric patients showed a resolution of fluid and exudation, and regression of the telangiectasia. In the adult group, after a mean of 10.6 months of follow-up, the differences in visual acuity were not statistically significant (P > 0.05) between the baseline and follow-up examinations. Vitreoretinal fibrosis (n = 2, 40 %) was observed in two patients who both showed fibrosis before treatment. All of the adult patients showed a resolution of fluid and exudation, and regression of the telangiectasia. The differences in the change of BCVA between children and adults were not significant (P > 0.05) during the follow-up examinations. CONCLUSION: The intravitreal injection of bevacizumab as the initial treatment is associated with a measurable gain in visual acuity in patients with Coats' disease. Resolution of the subretinal fluid and exudation, and regression of the telangiectasia were observed in both pediatric and adult patients. Vitreoretinal fibrosis may be one of the natural courses of Coats' disease, and it remains uncertain whether bevacizumab accelerates the fibrosis phenomenon.

OBJECTIVE: To prepare pH-dependent baicalin colon-specific solid dispersion, with the aim of colon-specific delivery and rapid drug release. METHOD: Baicalin-eudragit S100 solid dispersion was prepared by using the solvent method. The microscopic structure and physicochemical properties were analyzed by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and infrared spectroscopy (IR). And its in vitro release was also investigated. RESULT: The results of DSC and XRD analysis suggested that baicalin may be dispersed in solid dispersion in the amorphous state. IR results indicated a non-covalent bond effect may exist between baicalin and eudragit S100. The results of in vitro release determination showed that very few baicalins in pH 1.2 diluted hydrochloric acid solution for 2 h at the baicalin-eudragit S100 ratio of 1 : 6. The accumulated dissolution rate was less than 15% in pH 6.8 phosphate buffer solution for 4 h, but exceeding 90% in pH 7.6 phosphate buffer solution for 1 h. CONCLUSION: The prepared baicalin-eudragit S100 solid dispersion could achieve the objective of colon-specific delivery and rapid drug release, and helps increase the concentration of baicalin in colons.

Edwardsiellosis is one of the most important bacterial diseases in fish, sometimes causing extensive economic losses in the aquaculture industry. Our previous studies demonstrated that the Cu,Zn-SOD (sod1) activity has significantly increased in Japanese flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, hepatopancreas infected by causative bacteria of edwardsiellosis Edwardsiella tarda NUF251. In this study, NUF251 stimulated intracellular superoxide radical production in mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cells, which was reduced by N-acetylcysteine. This result suggests that NUF251 infection causes oxidative stress. To evaluate the regulatory mechanism of Jfsod1 at transcriptional levels under oxidative stress induced by NUF251 infection, we cloned and determined the nucleotide sequence (1124 bp) of the 5'-flanking region of the Jfsod1 gene. The sequence analysis demonstrated that the binding sites for the transcription factors C/EBPα and NF-IL6 involved in the transcriptional regulation of the mammalian sod1 gene existed. We constructed a luciferase reporter system with the 5'-flanking region (-1124/-1) of the Jfsod1 gene, and a highly increased transcriptional activity of the region was observed in NUF251-infected RAW264.7 cells. Further studies using several mutants indicated that deletion of the recognition region of NF-IL6 (-272/-132) resulted in a significant decrease in the transcriptional activity of the Jfsod1 gene in NUF251-infected RAW264.7 cells. In particular, the binding site (-202/-194) for NF-IL6 might play a major role in upregulating the transcriptional activity of the 5'-flanking region of the Jfsod1 gene in response to oxidative stress induced by NUF251 infection. These results could be provided a new insight to understand the pathogenic mechanism of causative bacteria of edwardsiellosis.

Previously, we identified sarcoplasmic serine proteinase (SSP) as a modori-inducing proteinase from threadfin bream belly muscle. In this study, we investigated the autolytic activity of commercial threadfin bream surimi under modori-inducing conditions. High autolytic activity was detected in commercial surimi and was inhibited by a soybean trypsin inhibitor, indicating that SSP still remained in the commercial surimi. The effects of soy protein, defatted soy protein (DSP) and isolated soy protein (ISP), on SSP activity and surimi-gel properties were evaluated. The results showed that the modori phenomenon was induced at 70 °C, and that both DSP and ISP suppressed SSP activity and strengthened the breaking strength and breaking distance of the modori-induced gel. Surimi-gel with DSP performed better on gel whiteness than that of ISP, and 1 g/kg DSP had optimal gel properties. In conclusion, soy protein proved to be a good natural food additive for surimi-gel production of threadfin bream.

PURPOSE: Our previous study showed that apelin was increased in the vitreous and fibrotic membranes of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in vivo, which suggested that apelin may be involved in the development of PDR. In this study, we investigated whether the expression of apelin was upregulated in human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells in vitro under high glucose conditions. Furthermore, to explore the role of apelin in RPE cells, we investigated the effect of exogenous recombinant apelin on proliferation, migration, and collagen I (a major component of extracellular matrix molecules, associated with PDR) expression and investigated the signaling pathways involved in these processes. METHODS: Real-time PCR and western blot were performed to determine the apelin expression in ARPE-19 cells under high glucose conditions. Exogenous recombinant apelin was used to study the effect of apelin on ARPE-19 cells in vitro. Cell proliferation, migration, and collagen I expression were assessed using an MTT assay, a transwell assay, and real-time PCR analysis. LY294002 (an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase) and PD98059 (an inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase) were used to help to determine the apelin signaling mechanism. RESULTS: High glucose upregulated apelin expression in RPE cells. Exogenous recombinant apelin activated protein kinase B (Akt) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) phosphorylation and promoted proliferation, migration, and collagen I expression in RPE cells. Pretreatment with LY294002 and PD98059 abolished apelin-induced activation of Akt and Erk, proliferation, and collagen I expression. Apelin-induced migration was partially blocked by pretreatment with LY294002 and PD98059. CONCLUSIONS: The expression of apelin was upregulated under high glucose conditions in RPE cells in vitro. Exogenous recombinant apelin increased the biologic activity of RPE cells, as well as the expression of collagen I. Apelin promoted proliferation, migration, and collagen I expression through the PI3K/Akt and MEK/Erk signaling pathways in RPE cells. From these results, we revealed the role of apelin in regulating proliferation, migration, and collagen I expression in RPE cells and the signaling mechanism under these processes, which suggested that apelin may play a profibrotic role in the development of PDR.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the value of a quantitative study concerning experimental choroidal neovascularization (CNV) tissue by correlating the paraffin sections and frozen sections with optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. METHODS: After OCT imaging was performed, four right eyes from the normal Brown Norway (BN) rats were made into paraffin sections and four left eyes were made into frozen sections. Laser photocoagulation was performed on the right eyes of the other 32 BN rats to induce CNV; these rats then were divided into two groups. After the OCT imaging was performed, four eyes were made into serial paraffin sections in Group A or frozen sections in Group B at 1 week after laser photocoagulation, and weekly for 4 weeks. A quantitative comparison of histopathological images and OCT images was performed. RESULTS: The thickness of the sensory retina and choroid of normal BN rats in paraffin sections was perceptibly less than that in the frozen sections, and the thickness of the sensory retina in the frozen sections was similar to that measured in the OCT images. The maximum thickness of the CNV tissue in the frozen sections was greater than that in the paraffin sections, but similar to that measured in the OCT images from week 1 to week 4. CONCLUSIONS: Only the frozen sections accurately matched the high-resolution OCT images because of the processing artifacts in the paraffin sections. In further quantitative studies on experimental CNV, the frozen sections may be more preferable if the thickness of the CNV tissue is to be measured and compared.

BACKGROUND: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Although much effort has been put into dealing with CMV retinitis secondary to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), the few reports which have been published have mainly focused on treatment of CMVR after HSCT. METHODS: This clinical interventional retrospective study included 14 patients (eight men; mean age 23.89 ± 12.09; 23 eyes) who suffered from CMV retinitis after stem-cell transplantation, in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of multiple intravitreal injections of ganciclovir (IVG) for patients with CMV retinitis. All patients received 4 injections of IVG of 1 mg at 1 week intervals, and were followed up weekly for at least 2 months with measurement of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and CMV levels in anterior aqueous humor with real-time polymerase chain reaction. Anterior aqueous humor was obtained before each injection. RESULTS: The levels of CMV in anterior aqueous humor showed significant decrease from (6.34 ± 15.78) × 10(5) copies/ml at baseline to (5.22 ± 12.15) × 10(3) copies/ml at 1 month (P < 0.001, Mann-Whitney U test). CMV couldn't be detected in 11 eyes (47.8 %) after two injections, and this rose to 18 eyes (78.3 %) at 1 month. The mean logMAR BCVA was 0.659 ± 0.572 at baseline and 0.680 ± 0.527 at 2 months, which suggested no significant improvement (P = 0.736, Mann-Whitney U test) during the procedure. All patients experienced improved vitreous opacity and diminished area of the lesion under funduscopy after 4 injections of IVG. No severe complications developed. CONCLUSIONS: Multiple IVG seemed to be beneficial for patients with CMV retinitis after stem-cell transplantation, in reducing CMV levels in aqueous humor. Further study to optimize the dose of ganciclovir is needed in order to achieve better treatment outcomes.

PURPOSE: Apelin, a novel cytokine, was reported to regulate angiogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between apelin and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), between apelin and the other known angiogenic cytokines including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hypoxia-induced factor-1a (HIF-1a). METHODS: The study included 36 ROP patients who underwent vitrectomy. Previous intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) was performed in 18 patients (IVB group). The other ROP eyes belonged to non-IVB group. Surgical removed membranes from 10 patients who underwent vitrectomy for idiopathic preretinal membranes or macular hole served as control. The expression of apelin and angiotensin-1-like receptor (APJ) in the excised membranes was examined by fluorescence immunostaining. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was used to examine the expression of apelin, VEGF, and HIF-1a mRNA. RESULTS: The density of neovascularization in fibrovascular membranes was significantly correlated with the age and postconception age of ROP patients (r = -0.94, P < 0.01; r = -0.83, P = 0.04). In the non-IVB group, colocalization of the endothelial marker CD31 with the marker for apelin and colocalization of CD31 and APJ were observed. In the IVB group, staining of apelin and APJ were positive, whereas the staining of CD31 was negative. Expression of apelin mRNA, HIF-1a mRNA, and VEGF mRNA were significantly higher in ROP membranes than idiopathic epiretinal membranes. Expression of apelin mRNA and VEGF mRNA significantly correlate with HIF-1a mRNA (r = 0.64, P = 0.04; and r = 0.96, P < 0.01, respectively), but the expression of apelin mRNA did not significantly correlate with VEGF mRNA (r = 0.491, P = 0.15). CONCLUSION: The apelin/APJ system may be involved in the development of retinal neovascularization of ROP. The present results showed that the effect of apelin was related to HIF-1a but independent with VEGF.

OBJECTIVE: To apply PVP-S630 in the preparation of tanshinone II(A) (TS II(A)) solid dispersion, in order to improve its dissolution in vitro and reduce the moisture absorption of the solid dispersion. METHOD: Tanshinone II(A) solid dispersion was prepared by spray drying method. Such analytical methods as SEM, DSC, XRD were used to characterize their phases and detect their dissolution, moisture absorption and stability. RESULT: In the solid dispersion prepared with tanshinone II(A) and copovidone with proportion of 1:10, tanshinone II(A) was scattered on the surface of the carrier in the amorphous form, with a dissolution in vitro up to 100% at 0.5 h and a lower moisture absorption than PVP-K30 solid dispersion prepared with the same proportion. After a three-month accelerated stability test, it showed no significant change in drug dissolution and content. CONCLUSION: The solid dispersion prepared with copovidone as the carrier can significantly improve the dissolution of tanshinone II(A), with a relatively low moisture absorption and high stability, thereby having a good prospect of application.

To determine the optimum process for preparing Cinnamomi Cortex oil microspheres based on porous silicon dioxide. After porous silica dioxide adsorbed Cinnamomi Cortex oil, Cinnamomi Cortex oil microspheres were prepared by the dropping method, with sodium alginate as the skeleton materials. The preparation process was optimized through the L(9) (3(4)) orthogonal test design, with microspheres diameter, distribution, drug loading capacity and entrapment efficiency as the indexes. The cinnamon volatile oil microspheres were characterized by scanning election microscope (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. An in vitro drug release experiment was conducted. The results showed that the microspheres prepared with the optimal process parameters were in good shape, even in size and good in dispersibility, with an average diameter of 1.61 mm, an average drug loading capacity of 32.85%, an entrapment efficiency of 94.79%. The maximum drug release capacity reached 72.6%, 95.0%, 97.4%, respectively, under pH 4.0, 6.8, 7.4 in 6 hours. Meanwhile, microsphere generation was tested by IR, TGA and other methods.

To optimize the preparation conditions of porous starch The porous starch was used to powder coix seed oil. Porous starch was made of maize starch by using compound enzymes of glucoamylase and alpha-amylase. The preparation process was optimized through orthogonal test design with oil absorption rate to salad oil as indexes. The effect of different dosages of porous starch on yield of triglyceride by powdering coix seed oil was studied. The triglyceride release behaviors and fluidity of powdered coix seed oil were also studied. The results showed that the optimum conditions for preparation of porous maize starch were as follows, the mass radio of glucoamylase to a-amylase was 3:1, the temperatures was 55 degrees C, pH was 5.0, and hydrolysis time was 12 h. Under these conditions, the oil absorption rate to salad oil was 98.5% for porous maize starch. Porous starch was used to power coix seed oil. When porous starch to coix seed oil was 4:1, the triglyceride yield of powering coix seed oil was up to 97.02%. The fluidity of powdered coix seed oil was favorable and control released. The preparation of powdered liquid oil with porous starch had many advantages such as simple production technology, convenient operation, low cost and was worth generalizing.
