简介:目的观察上调白细胞介素10(IL-10)的表达对家兔慢性细菌性鼻窦炎动物模型上颌窦黏膜创伤修复的影响。方法以慢病毒(LV)为表达载体,上调IL-10的表达(LV-IL-10)。实验分3组:生理盐水注射组、LV-IL-10治疗组和LV-GFP注射组(GFP为绿色荧光蛋白)。制作家兔慢性细菌性鼻窦炎模型。在创伤前3d,各组上颌窦内侧壁黏膜下分别注射生理盐水、LV-IL-10和LV-GFP。于创伤后第3天和第10天取再生的上颌窦内侧壁黏膜,用实时聚合酶链反应和酶联免疫吸附试验分别在mRNA水平和蛋白水平检测相关细胞因子的表达。苏木素-伊红(HE)染色和Masson三染色法观察创伤后第10天再生黏膜的形态特征。结果在创伤后第3天和第10天再生的上颌窦黏膜中,LV-IL-10治疗组的胶原沉积明显减少,炎症反应较轻,且IL-6以及Ⅰ型和Ⅲ型胶原的mRNA表达水平明显下降。IL-6、IL-8以及Ⅰ型和Ⅲ型胶原的蛋白表达水平也明显下降,但3组间再生的上颌窦黏膜中转化生长因子β(TGF-β)mRNA的表达无明显差别。结论在家兔慢性细菌性鼻窦炎创伤修复的动物模型中,上调IL-10的表达可以抑制再生黏膜中的炎症反应,减少胶原沉积,改善再生黏膜的组织重塑。
简介:目的:研究增殖细胞核抗原(proliferatingcellnuclearanti-gen,PCNA)和胰岛素样生长因子Ⅱ(insulin-likegrowthfactor-Ⅱ,IGF-Ⅱ)在翼状胬肉中表达的关系。方法:应用免疫组织化学SABC法检测40例原发性翼状胬肉组织标本,10例正常结膜组织标本中PCNA和IGF-Ⅱ蛋白的表达情况。结果:翼状胬肉组中PCNA,IGF-Ⅱ表达均高于正常结膜组(P〈0.01),IGF-Ⅱ与PCNA蛋白表达之间的相关系数为0.731(P〈0.01)。结论:翼状胬肉为一种具有肿瘤潜能的增生性眼表疾病。IGF-Ⅱ通过促进细胞增殖参与了翼状胬肉的发生、发展。
简介:目的:观察色素上皮衍生因子(pigmentepithelium-derivedfactor,PEDF)在氧诱导视网膜病变(oxygen-inducedretinopathy,OIR)中对小鼠视网膜新生血管(retinalneovascularization,RNV)和单核细胞趋化因子-1(monocytechemoattractantprotein-1,MCP-1)表达的影响,探讨PEDF对缺血缺氧性视网膜病变的保护作用和机制。方法:取7日龄C57BL/6J新生小鼠160只,将120只7日龄小鼠与哺乳母鼠共同置于氧浓度为(75±2)%的氧环境内饲养5d,然后返回正常氧环境中饲养5d,建立OIR模型;40只小鼠始终置于正常氧环境饲养。分别于12日龄和14日龄给予PEDF药物治疗组小鼠右眼玻璃体腔注射PEDF(2μg/μL)各1μL,给予PBS治疗对照组和正常对照组小鼠右眼玻璃体腔注射等量的磷酸盐缓冲液(phosphatebufferedsaline,PBS)。所有小鼠于17日龄麻醉处死后取视网膜,采用视网膜铺片和Lectin染色法观察各组小鼠病理性新生血管的生成情况;Western-blot检测PEDF和MCP-1蛋白在各组小鼠视网膜的表达;实时荧光定量逆转录多聚酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测各组小鼠视网膜PEDF和MCP-1mRNA的表达。结果:视网膜铺片和Lectin染色结果显示OIR模型组RNV面积较正常组显著增大,差异有统计意义(P<0.01),PEDF药物治疗组RNV面积较PBS治疗对照组明显减小,差异有统计意义(P<0.01)。Western-blot和RTPCR结果显示,OIR模型组MCP-1蛋白和mRNA的表达水平均明显高于正常组,差异有统计意义(均P<0.05);OIR模型组PEDF蛋白和mRNA的表达水平均明显低于正常组,差异有统计意义(均P<0.01);PEDF药物治疗组MCP-1蛋白和mRNA的表达量较PBS治疗对照组均显著减少,差异有统计意义(均P<0.05);PEDF药物治疗组MCP-1蛋白和mRNA的表达量较正常对照组升高,但差异均无统计学意义(均P>0.05)。结论:PEDF能够抑制OIR小鼠视网膜新生血管形成,同时下调MCP-1在OIR小鼠视网膜的表达,后者可能是其抑制新生血管形成从而发挥视网膜保护作用的机制之
简介:目的:研究高氧诱导的视网膜新生血管模型鼠中转录因子Islet-1的表达差异。方法:采用高氧诱导的方法制作鼠视网膜新生血管模型,运用荧光造影视网膜铺片及视网膜切片苏木精-伊红染色观察视网膜新生血管的形态。于小鼠出生后第7,12,14,17,26d取视网膜组织,采用Real-timePCR及Westernblot技术测定视网膜组织中Islet-1的表达水平。结果:模型组视网膜铺片及组织切片可见大量视网膜新生血管形成。小鼠出生后第7d,模型组与正常组视网膜组织中Islet-1表达水平无明显差异;小鼠出生后第12~14d,模型组视网膜组织中Islet-1表达水平明显上调;出生后17d,模型组视网膜组织中Islet-1表达水平仍高于正常组;出生后26d,随着视网膜新生血管消退,视网膜组织中Islet-1表达水平降至正常水平。结论:模型鼠视网膜新生血管发生过程中,持续缺氧的视网膜组织通过增加转录因子Islet-1的表达,从而诱导视网膜新生血管的发生。
简介:目的:观察翼状胬肉切除联合自体球结膜瓣移植术后,局部应用1g/L环孢霉素A对胬肉复发的抑制效果。方法:对原发性翼状胬肉患者58例58眼进行前瞻性研究。所有入选眼均采用翼状胬肉切除联合自体球结膜瓣移植术,根据术后是否应用1g/L环孢霉素A滴眼液分为试验组和对照组。术后追踪随访1a,观察患者的胬肉复发率。结果:术后试验组基础泪液分泌试验(SchirmerⅠtest,SⅠt)结果明显优于对照组(9.93±1.59vs8.47±1.53mm/5min);SⅠt结果也显示1g/L环孢霉素A使患眼术后的泪液分泌量较术前有所增加。术后1a试验组与对照组的胬肉复发率分别为10%和39%。对照组并发症的出现率要高于试验组,差异具有统计学意义(P=0.029)。结论:翼状胬肉切除术后局部应用1g/L环孢霉素A滴眼液能够安全有效地降低胬肉的复发率。
