Abstract: Objective To investigate the effects of silencing hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α) by transfecting short hairpin RNA(shRNA)into cultured human nasal epithelial cells (HNECs) and its further regulations on vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), transforming growth factor(TGF)β1 and basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF). Methods HNECs were isolated from 10 inferior turbinate-cutting patients'mucosa. Two HIF-shRNA fragments were built and the best silencing shRNA sequence was used for transfection. We separated cells into three groups: the blank group, the negative control group and the ad-HIFshRNA interference group. The protein and gene expressions were detected by Western blotting and PCR. Results HNECs were transfected with GFP marketed adenovirus which carry the best silencing HIF-1α shRNA. The protein and mRNA expressions of HIF-1α were significantly reduced 40% and 39%(q=31.469, 16.590), and following, the protein and mRNA expressions of VEGF, TGF-β1 and bFGF were reduced (P<0.05). Conclusion Transfection of ad-HIFshRNA can effectively silence the expression of HIF-1α gene and protein and furthermore inhibit the expressions of VEGF, TGF-β1 and FGF-2, which suggests HIF-1α regulates the expression of VEGF, bFGF and TGF-β1 through direct or indirect ways. Thus silencing HIF-1α may provide a new way towards allergic rhiniti's treatment.

[9] ObjectiveTo discuss the causes and appropriate treatment for iris neovascularization following the analysis of cases( eyes). MethodsIt was a retrospective case series study involving patients( eyes)with iris neovascularization diagnosed between September and July . All the patients underwent ophthalmic examination, and all the examination findings and treatments were recorded. The causes, correlative factors, and treatment outcomes of iris neovascularization were analyzed. ResultsOf the patients, ( eyes, .%)had retinal ischemic signs, including vitreous hemorrhage and retinal vascularization on fundus fluorescein angiography, ( eyes, .%)did not have retinal ischemic signs. After months of treatment, retinal vascularization resolved in all the cases, and iris neovascularization resolved completely in patients( eyes, .%), iris neovascularization was still found in patients( eyes, .%). ConclusionsAnterior segment ischemia may also lead to iris vascularization, although retinal ischemia was the main cause. Additionally, iris neovascularization may not always resolve with treatment for retinal ischemia. Finally, anti-VEGF drug injection was an effective treatment for iris neovascularization..
