Objective To observe the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), its tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP-1), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and contents of nitric oxide (NO) in the ocular tissues of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats with endotoxin induced uveitis（EIU）. Methods Ninety SD rats were randomly divided into experimental (81 rats) and control group (9 rats). The model of EIU was induced in rats in experimental group by injecting with lipoplysaccharide (LPS) 200 μl into the hind feet pads, while the rats in the control group were not injected. Nine rats were executed 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 48, 72, 96 hours and 7 days, respectively, after injecting with LPS; the NO content and concentration of protein in the aqueous humor in blood plasma, aqueous humor, and uveal tissues were detected. The expressions of MMP-9, TIMP-1 and iNOS in the ocular tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry, and the average absorbance (A) value was evaluated by computer medical image analysis system. Results iNOS, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 expressed in the epithelial cells of iris and ciliary body and exudated inflammatory cells of rats. The concentration of protein in the aqueous humor, the contents of NO in blood plasma, aqueous humor, and uveal tissues, and A value of MMP-9 had obvious relativity with the inflammatory extent, while no positive correlation was found between the inflammatory extent and the A value of iNOS and TIMP-1. Expression of iNOS was found 6 hours after injection, reached the peak after 12 hours, and then dropped gradually. The expression of TIMP-1 could be seen 24 hours after injection, and reached its peak after 72 hours. Conclusion The content of NO and expressions of iNOS, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 changes from the beginning and during the development of EIU, which suggests that NO, iNOS, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 are involved in the pathologic process of EIU.

目的:探讨经鼻内窥镜下手术治疗管内段视神经损伤的围手术期护理。方法:对收治的11例视神经损伤住院患者的资料及围手术期护理过程进行分析总结。结果:行视神经减压术的11例患者中1例失访,7例有效,其中4例视力有较明显的提高。结论:经鼻内镜视神经减压术损伤小,并发症少,手术时间短,疗效满意,其中围手术期的护理是提高手术疗效的一个重要环节。
The authom analysed the predisposing factors for macular pucker(MP) after retinal dotachment surgery.Thirteen clinlcal risk factors correlated with the development of MP were identified, As the incidence related to various factors was compared with reported in the literature,the most significant 3 risk factors of MP were: the obvious hemorrhage accumulated in maeular area, the macular hole treated with diathernly,and the patient lay on one's back for approximately 2 weeks during postoperative retard absorption of subretinal fluid in the eyes with preoperative PVR,This suggested that the direct or indirect damage of maeular area was the major cause of development of MP. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1993,9:8-10）
Objective To study the effect of hypoxia on proliferation of cultured bovine retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells and expression of the antiapoptotic protein bcl-2. Methods The bovine RPE cells were cultured under normal and hypoxic chamber respectively. After 24 hours, the proliferation of RPE cells was evaluated by［3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide, MTT］test. At the same time, anti-bcl-2 protein antibody was examined by immuno-histochemistry method. Results The A value in the hypoxia group was higher than that in the normal group after 24 hours (P＜0.05 )in MTT-test. Positive staining for anti-bcl-2 protein antibody was seen in 72.6% cells in hypoxia group and 38.64% in normal group. The positive staining was more obvious near the nucleus, and fine granules scattered in cytoplasm of some cells. Conclusion Hypoxia can stimulate the proliferation of RPE cells and expression of antiapoptotic protein bcl-2. The results indicate that bcl-2 may play an important role in mediating the proliferation activity of RPE cells. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2002, 18: 293-295)

Objective To detect and analyse the mutations in rhodopsin gene of members in a family affected by autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (ADRP). Methods Using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), we amplified exon 1-5 of rhodopsin gene in patients with ADRP,and analyzed it with direct sequence measuement. Results The Gly-182-Asp mutation in the rhodopsin gene was detected in most of affected members of this ADRP family, but no mutation was detected in two affected members and the control ones. Conclusion We cannot regard the Gly-182-Asp mutation in the rhodopsin gene as the pathagenic factor of the ADRP family. It is likely there is a new gene next to the rhodopsin gene.

Objective To observe the expression of Nogo66 receptor （NgR）in ratsprime; retina during the postnatal development． Methods The expression of NgR in 48 rats were observed by immunofluorescence histochemistry and laserconfocal microscopy 0, 3, 7, 14, 21, 35, 49, 63 days after birth, with 6 rats in each group, respectively． Results The expression of NgR is positive in the retina in the whole duration of growth, and the fluorescence pigmentation was located around the ganglion cell nuclaear. Conclusion The positive expression of NgR suggests that the interaction of NgR and CNS myelin inhibitors not only inhibit neuronal plasticity but also promote it, which could regulate neuronal plasticity.
Objective To establish a purified model of rat retinal ganglion cells （RGCs） cultured by serum-free medium，and provide a good cell model to investigate the damage of RGCs in glaucoma，retinal ischemia，and degenerative retinopathy. Methods Two monoclonal antibodies，anti-rat SIRP（OX-41）against rat macrophage and antibody against rat Thy-1（OX-7），were used to purify and characterize RGCs from 1-3-day old Sprague-Dawley（SD）rats by means of two-step filtration.Purified RGCs were cultured in serum-free neurobasal medium containing B27 and ciliary neurotrophic factor（CNTF） meeting the neuronal cellrsquo;s special requirements.Photomicrographs illustration，immunfluorescence staining of Thy-1，calcein-acetoxymethyl ester（calcein-AM）fluorescence images were used to observe and identify cultured retinal cells and purified RGCs. Results Among the primary cultured rat retinal cells，91% were retinal neurons.Protuberances of RGCs were seen after cultured for 24 hours.At the4th to 8th day，many cells had uniform configuration，large body，and long protuberances. At the 14th day，over 60% cells maintained viability.Immunoflurescence staining of Thy-1 showed the purity of RGCs was about 90%. The results of calcein-AM staining，which stained the living cells only，showed large cell body of RGCs and most of RGCs had a protuberance whose length was twice longer than the diameter of the cells. Conclusion RGCs cultured by serum-free medium has uniform size，good configuration，and high purity，which is adapt to the research of damage of RGCs caused by various factors and to evaluate the protective effects of neuroprotective agents.
