Purpose To study changes of cell cycle of vascular endothelial cell in non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Methods Alloxan induced Wistar-rats were employed and immunohistochemistry,Western blotting methods were used. Results The vascular endothelial cells of retinas of 8～20 weeks diabetic rats were observe to be cyclinD1,cyclinD3,cyclinB1,p21 and p27 positive stained with light and electronmicroscopies.CyclinE immuno-stained vascular endothelial cells was observed occasionally.Meanwhile,the evidences of morphologic changes of the vascular en dothelial cells were proved:less plasma,thinner cell,more bubble organelles than those of controls.But,the ultra-structures of pericytes and other type of retinal cells did not change and they also immunostain negative.Komas blue and Western blotting methods also proved that the vascular endothelial cells of retina of 20th week diabetic rats expressed cyclinD1,cyclinB1,p21 and p27 protein. Conclusion Glucose induced retinal vascular endothelial cells of 8～20th weeks diabetic rats enter cell cycle and were arrested at G1/S restriction point.This study also suggested that retinal vascular endothelial cells may possess the ability to resist glucose damage and mechanism of selfstability during very early stage of diabetes.

Objective To introduce the basic research and cl inical appl ication of stem cells transplantation for treating diabetic foot. Methods The recent original articles about the stem cells transplantation for treating diabetic foot were extensively reviewed. Results Transplanted different stem cells in diabetic foot could enhanced ulceration heal ing in certain conditions, increase neovascularization and avoid amputation. Conclusion Stem cells transplantation for treating diabeticfoot may be a future approach．
Objective To observe whether theograde axial flow of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) in diabetic rats at the early stage was damaged. Methods Diabetic model was induced by streptozotocin in 6 adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD)rats. Fluorogold (FG) was injected to the superior colliculi 4 weeks later.Streched preparation of retina was made 12 and 72 hours after the injection, and was stained after photographed by fluorescent microscope. The proportion of RGC with different sizes labeled by FG was calculated. Other 6 normal adult male SD rats were in the control group. Results Twelve hours after injection with FG, there was no difference of the total number of RGC in experimental and control group, but the ratio of small RGC was lower in experimental group than that in the control group; 72 hours after injection with FG, The number of RGC, especially the small RGC, decreased obviously in experimental group compared with the control group. Conclusion The speed of the retrograde axial flow of RGC in diabetic rats at the early stage is affected, and the small RGC are damageable. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2006, 22: 4-6)
目的 了解糖尿病患者院外自行注射胰岛素存在的风险。 方法 2010年1月－12月，通过随访调查老年组83例，中青年组69例糖尿病患者院外自行注射胰岛素的实施情况，对存在的问题进行归类、统计。调查的内容主要包括3个方面：胰岛素装置的正确使用、胰岛素的规范注射、血糖监测及低血糖处理。分析两组患者院外注射胰岛素的风险，并对存在的问题进行原因分析、提出解决方法。 结果 发放调查表152份，有效回收131份，其中老年组73份，中青年组58份。在胰岛素装置使用方面，老年组存在问题48项，中青年组27项，两者间差异无统计学意义（χ2=2.432，P＞0.05）。在胰岛素的规范注射方面，老年组存在问题176项，中青年组77项，老年组在胰岛素注射方面存在的问题明显高于中青年组（χ2=25.009，P＜0.001）。在低血糖的认识及正确处理上，老年组存在问题115项，中青年组33项，两组差异具有统计学意义（χ2=40.383，P＜0.001）。 结论 糖尿病患者院外自行注射胰岛素存在诸多风险。老年糖尿病患者院外胰岛素注射需在他人协助、监督下进行。
Microparticles are small vesicles that are released by budding of the plasma membrane during cellular activation and apoptotic cell breakdown. A spectrum of cell types can release microparticles including endothelial cells, platelets, macrophages, lymphocytes and tumor cells. Biological effects of microparticles mainly include procoagulant activity, inhibition of inflammation and cancer progression. The present study shows that vitreous microparticles isolated from proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) stimulated endothelial cell proliferation and increased new vessel formation, promoting the pathological neovascularization in PDR patients. Oxidative stress induces the formation of retina pigment epithelium-derived microparticles carrying membrane complement regulatory proteins, which is associated with drusen formation and age related macular degeneration. Microparticles from lymphocyte (LMP) play an important role in anti-angiogenesis by altering the gene expression pattern of angiogenesis-related factors in macrophages. Besides, LMP are important proapoptotic regulators for retinoblastoma cells through reduction of spleen tyrosine kinase expression and upregulation of the p53-p21 pathway which ultimately activates caspase-3. However, how to apply the microparticles in the prevention and treatment of retinal diseases is a major challenge, because the study of the microparticles in the fundus diseases is still limited. Further studies conducted would certainly enhance the application of microparticles in the fundus diseases.
