- Abstract
Aim: To investigate auto-cortex of crystalline lens induced iris neovascularization (INV)., Methods: Thirty-six eyes of 36 guinea-pigs were included and divided into three groups randomly in this cohort study. Group A: the right lens nucleus was extracted and the remaining cortical lens material was aspirated thoroughly. Group B: the lens was removed and 30µL precipitated lens cortex was injected into the anterior chamber again. Group C: aspirated the lens cortex of the left eyes and inject them into the right anterior chambers about 10µL. Clinical changes were followed by slit-lamp examination and photograph. The eye balls were enucleated at the day of 2, 4, 7, 11, 13, 17 after operation. HE was used to detect the pathological changes., Group a: INV had not been observed until the end of empirical study. The stromal layer contained thick wall vessels, without expansion. Group B: All eyes developed INV. Postoperative (po) 7 days; the eyes developed intense and extensive INV. The vessels of iris expanded remarkably and neovascularization was observed erupting from it's lateral wall and stretching towards the anterior surface. Po11 days, INV regressed gradually after lens cortex had been absorbed. Group C: Po four (4) days, new blood vessels liking red line were presented on the anterior surface of the iris and they were not obvious., Conclusion: Anterior chamber inside lens coriaceous can induce iris new blood vessels.

- Abstract
In the title compound, C(21)H(19)N(3)O(4), the central benzene ring makes dihedral angles of 78.54 (6) and 75.30 (6)° with the pyridine and 3-methoxy-phenyl rings, respectively. An intra-molecular N-H⋯N interaction occurs, generating an S(?). The crystal packing shows inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions between the N-H groups and the O atoms of the 3-methoxy-phenyl ring and the carbonyl groups of the amide functions. Inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions are also present.

- Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of vascular mimicry in the development of the pterygium., Methods: Two hundred and eighteen pterygium specimens were collected from pterygium operations, 97 of them were studied under the light microscope by immunohistochemistry and immunohistochemistry combined with PAS stain (primary antibodies included CD34, laminin and VEGF). Specimens were incubated with primary antibodies at 37 degrees C for 60 mins, followed by incubation with secondary antibodies at 37 degrees C for 30 mins, stained by DAB, oxidized by 0.5% periodic acid for 10 mins, stained by Schiff staining for 20 mins, counterstained by Mayer-Hematoxylin staining for 3 mins, washed with water and then mounted., Results: Vascular mimicry was identified in 97 of 218 pterygium specimens, which appeared as tubular type and network matrix type. The septa of meshwork stained positively with PAS stain. CD34 immunohistochemical staining combined with PAS staining showed that the arcs and cells in the meshwork were stained positively with CD34 and were encircled by PAS positive extracellular matrix. Laminin immunohistochemical staining combined with PAS staining showed that part of endothelial cells and blood vessel walls were stained positively by laminin, but most cells in the tubular-like region were stained negatively. VEGF immunohistochemical staining combined with PAS staining showed that fibroblast-like cells in the network matrix were stained positively by VEGF and the septa of meshwork and extracellular matrices were stained positively by PAS., Conclusion: Vascular mimicry exists in the pterygium and is one of the blood supply pathways of the pterygium.

- Abstract
Objective: To develop a novel immunotherapy model of retinoblastoma (RB) in human PBL non-obese diabetic-severe combined immunodeficient (NOD-SCID) mice, and to investigate its biological features., Methods: Twenty NOD-SCID mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: group A, subcutaneous injection of phosphate buffered saline; group B, intraperitoneal injection of human peripheral blood lymphocyte (hu-PBL) for immune reconstruction; group C, subcutaneous injection of SO-RB50 cells and group D, intraperitoneal injection of hu-PBL with subcutaneous injection of SO-RB50 cells. The physical status of NOD-SCID mice and the tumor growth were observed. Human IgG in mouse serum was assayed by ELISA. Human T lymphocytes in murine spleen and peripheral blood were evaluated by flow cytometry. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical studies were also performed., Results: In groups C and D, the latent period of tumor growth was 12 - 19 days, and the taken rates of RB were 100%. Histological and immunohistochemical results showed that the tumor cells of the two groups retained the characteristics of human low differentiation RB. More interesting, some human lymphocytes stained by human LCA presented in transplanted tumors and murine spleens. Human IgG and T lymphocytes were detected in humanized groups (groups B and D)., Conclusions: The RB model in the human PBL NOD-SCID mice has been successfully established, which simulates the biological behavior of human spontaneous RB. This model may be useful for the studying of immune regression and immunotherapy of human RB.

- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the curative effect of KGF-2 on the alkali-injured rabbit eye and to investigate the mechanism of KGF-2 accelerating corneal epithelial wound healing., Methods: Alkali burn was produced in 24 corneas from 24 New Zealand rabbits. Four groups were randomly divided. Three groups (A, B, and C groups) were treated with KGF-2 solution (1, 50, 100 microg/ml, respectively), and one group (D group) was treated with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution. The injured eyes were photographed after the fluorescence staining with a slit lamp and the pictures were analyzed with computer-aided picture analysis system to calculate the rate of corneal epithelial healing. Morphologic and immunohistological examinations (using P63, AE5 and EGFR antibodies) of the cornea were performed., Results: KGF-2 at dosages ranging from 1 microg/ml to 100 microg/ml could enhance the cornea wound healing process. After 24 hours, epithelial healing rate of the 100 microg/ml KGF-2 group and the PBS treated group was 74% and 40%, respectively (P < 0.05). The corneal epithelial healing rate of each group was variable after four days and achieved complete healing after ten days. The P63 positive cells in KGF-2 groups appeared not only in the limbal area but also in the central area. For example, on the seventh day, in the limbal area, the P63 positive cells in the 100 microg/ml KGF-2 group, the PBS treated group and the normal group were 53.8 +/- 2.6, 29.5 +/- 2.2 and 17.0 +/- 2.1, respectively (P = 0.000). At the same time, the P63 positive cells in the non-limbal area in the 100 microg/ml KGF-2 group, the PBS treated group and the normal group were 69.5 +/- 2.8, 19.5 +/- 2.8 and 0, respectively (P = 0.000)., Conclusions: These results suggested KGF-2 can stimulate the limbal epithelial stem cells to migrate to the central cornea. KGF-2 can accelerate the healing of alkali burned cornea.

- Abstract
Objective: To observe morphological changes of oil-associated complications in silicone oil-filled human eyes, and to further explore their pathogenesis., Methods: The morphology analysis and immunohistochemistrical study were performed in 25 specimens including 8 eyeballs, 1 ocular content, 4 preretinal membranes, 4 corneal buttons and 8 lens from human eyes with silicone oil tamponade. Two of preretinal membranes acquired freshly were also evaluated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM)., Results: Endothelium cell loss (90%) and band keratopathy (83%) were the most typical changes in silicone oil-associated keratopathy;while epithelial cell fibrosis was the most frequent histopathological features in silicone oil-associated cataract. In 8 eyeballs and 1 ocular content, it was found that damages to normal retinal layers and formation of preretinal or subretinal membrane with extensive silicone bubbles were obvious in the cases of silicone oil-associated retinopathy, which included loss and degeneration of neuron cells. Moreover, in 3 eyeballs with silicone oil for more than 60 months, retinas were completely replaced by fibril membranes, and the oil vacuoles were also found in sclerocorneal scar, trabecula, iris, ciliary body, choroid, optic nerve and its tunica vaginalis. These finding demonstrated that the longer the silicone oil was retained in eyeballs, the more severe its complications were. Different sizes of silicone bubbles in 2 preretinal membranes were noted easier by TEM than light microscopy. There were some macrophages marker (CD68) positive staining cells in the tissues filled with silicone bubbles, such as preretinal or subretinal membrane and optic nerve. Partial of the membranes surrounding the oil bubbles was positive for GFAP staining, and other part was positive stained for Vimentin., Conclusions: Intraocular silicone oil can damage the normal tissue structures and function if it is retained in eyeballs too long. This results suggest that silicone oil should be removed timely after the retinal reattachment stabilized and can not be used as a kind of long term intraocular tamponade.
