The cell viability, apoptosis, and angiogenesis of human derm al m icrovascular endothelial cells( HDMECs) after exposure to AG Es-b FG For bFGF were measured with cell counting kit-8, flow cytom etry,and tube form ation assay, respectively. Results The proportion of AG Es-b FG F in total b FG F showed agedependent increaseboth in diabetic and non-diabetic skin. As com pared with non-diabetic skin, the constituent ratio in diabetic skin increased significantly in the equal age-group, and the same result could be obtained in granulation tissues from patients aged 50 to 59. The proportion of AG Es-b FG F in diabetic granulation was low er than that in diabetic skin from patients aged 50 to 59. H istological analysis show ed few er vessels in diabetic skin wound. In vitro, the viability and vascularization of H D M EC s were promoted by b FG F and inhibited after exposure to AGEs-bFGF for 7d. Conclusion The present study indicates that one cause for im paired wound healing in diabetic skin could be the glycated b FG F and its changed angiogenic function.展开更多

Fitzgerald is one of the greatest American novelists and his work, The Great Gatsby is the paradigmatic writing of Jazz Age. In the fiction, the symbolic representation of colors is more strikingly exhibited, which is part and parcel of the total artistic achievement of this masterpiece. This essay intends to explore the symbolic meanings of colors in the novel, suggesting that the color imagery contributes to reproducing the kaleidoscope in the magnificent social life of Jazz Age and implies the inevitable disillusionment of the protagonist＇s American dream that is defined as his pursuit of romantic love with Daisy, further intertwined with the search for a personal grail.展开更多
