  • The variation of four amino acids release of the retina in acute ocular hypertension in rabbits

    Objective To monitor the release of amino acids of the whole retina during and after experimental glaucoma by increasing the intraocular pressure (IOP). Methods Experimental glaucoma was induced in one of the two eyes of rabbits by increasing IOP at 120 mm Hg for 45 min under infusion of saline in anterior chamber;then the pressure was released and the needle inserted into the anterior chamber was removed,this state was maintained for another 45 min.Every 15 min during the experiment 5 rabbits were killed and experimental eyes were enucleated.Aliquots(20 μl)of the retinal extracts(see below)were mixed with ophthaldialdehyde reagent and analysed for amino acid content by the HPLC method of Wangwei,using a 150 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm C18 column. Results A large increase in the release of glutamate,but not of the other three amino acids monitored,occurred during initial experimental ocular hypertension.It reached peak value of(111.73±17.46)10-5 mmol/g at 15 min of hypertension.15 min after release of intraocular pressure,again,immediately large and specific increase in the concentration of glutamate was reached to(102.96±51.91)10-5 mmol/g.In eyes subjected to paracentesis of anterior chamber,no difference was found between experimental eyes and controls. Conclusion These results suggest that glutamate is triggered by increasing the IOP,and it releases not only during the period of experimental ocular hypertension,but also afterwards.

  • Advantages and prospects of cell derived decellularized extracellular matrix as tissue engineering scaffolds

    ObjectiveTo review the application of cell derived decellularized extracellular matrix (CDM) in tissue engineering. Methods The literatures related to the application of CDM in tissue engineering was extensively reviewed and analyzed. Results CDM is a mixture of cells and their secretory products obtained by culturing cells in vitro for a period of time, and then the mixture is treated by decellularization. Compared with tissue derived decellularized extracellular matrix (TDM), CDM can screen and utilize pathogen-free autologous cells, effectively avoiding the possible shortcomings of TDM, such as immune response and limited sources. In addition, by selecting the cell source, controlling the culture conditions, and selecting the template scaffold, the composition, structure, and mechanical properties of the scaffold can be controlled to obtain the desired scaffold. CDM retains the components and microstructure of extracellular matrix and has excellent biological functions, so it has become the focus of tissue engineering scaffolds. ConclusionCDM is superior in the field of tissue engineering because of its outstanding adjustability, safety, and high bioactivity. With the continuous progress of technology, CDM stents suitable for clinical use are expected to continue to emerge.
