Objective To explore the classification , age , ratio of gender , to provide clinical basis for prevention and treatment of pediatric eye diseases. Methods Clinical data of 0-14 year old patients with eye diseases from January 1993 to December 2014 were collected and analysized. Results The total rate of boy and girl is 2.14:1. Boys with ocular trauma were much more than girls , and the ratio of boy and girl is 3.7:1. The peak occurrence age of ocular trauma was 8 to 11 year old , 0-7 year old children with eye diseases mainly contained congenital diseases such as congenital cataract and congenital ptosis. Children between 7 to 14 year old were more liability to intermittent exotropia and accommodative esotropia. Retinopathy of prematurity was the most common eyeground disease. The most popular tumor were major in corneal dermoid and retinal glioblastoma, potential age was 1-6 year old. Conclusion Pediatric eye diseases should be paid more attention. Ocular examination were needed to be done periodically , primary diseases should be treated early , occurrence should be prevented depending on different ages , to protect the ocular function of children.

AIM:Recently it was found that loss of anterior chamber-associated immune deviation (ACAID) was associated with normal pregnancy in rabbits. The purpose of this study is to further investigate whether the same events occurred in nonhuman primates. METHODS:Mid-pregnant cynomolgus monkeys were randomly selected. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) or balanced salt solution was inoculated in anterior chamber of eyes of nonpregnant and mid-pregnant monkeys that were subsequently immunized with BSA in adjuvant and then skin was challenged for delayed-type hypersensitivity with BSA. RESULTS: Non-pregnant monkeys of intracameral BSA were able to acquire antigen-specific suppression of delayed-type hypersensitivity. By contrast, inoculation of BSA to anterior chamber of pregnant monkeys abolished the DTH-suppression effect. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first demonstration in primates that loss of anterior chamber-associated immune deviation occurred during normal pregnancy. The fluctuations of systemic hormone levels during normal pregnancy might influence local immunoregulation within the eye.

Objective: To investigate effect of soyasaponins in the prevention of hyperlipidemia in mice and its molecular mechanism. Methods: 56 healthy mice were randomly divided into 7 groups according to their levels of TC in serum: normal control, high fat control, high fat with 20mg/kg.d gypenosides,high fat with soyasaponins of four doses(5 mg/kg.d, 10mg/kg.d, 20mg/kg.d, 30 mg/kg.d). Results: As compared to high fat control soyasaponins significantly reduced the serum TC, LDL-C, TG concentrations, and increased the HDL-C levels distinctly. They significantly deceased MDA content, increased the activities of SOD and LPL in liver. The results of RT-PCR showed that high fat feeding could induce the reduction of LPL mRNA expression, while soyasaponins could increase it. Conclusion: Soyasoponins prevent hyperlipidemia through upregulation of LPL mRNA expression and increase of antioxidative capacity.

Objective: To observe the effects of carotenoids extracts from Potamogoton crispus L. (CEPC) on proliferation and apoptosis of Hela cell line. Method: The cell growth inhibition was tested in MTT assay and cell cycle arrest was measured by flow cytometry (FCM). Apoptotic cells were observed by fluorescent microscope and Laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM). LSCM was also used to determine the Ca2+ concentration in cells. Results: CEPC had strong inhibition effects on the cell growth. The cell cycle progression was arrested at G2/M phase. The typical characteristics of apoptotic cells such as chromatin condensation were observed by the fluorescent microscope and LSCM. The concentration of intracellular Ca2+ was remarkably increased after treatment of CEPC as compared with the control. Conclusion: Apoptosis of Hela cell line is the important anticancer mechanism of CEPC and the increase of intracellular Ca2+ level might participate in the process.

Objective: To analyze and identify the carotenoid in gingko seed.Methods: The chemical composition of the pigment from gingko seed was identified as carotenoid by UV absorption spectrum. Its content was determined by spectrophotometric method and its composition was analyzed and identified by thin-layer chromatography and HPLC method.Results: Gingko contained carotenoids, roughly about 489 ?g/100 g in which lutein, ?-carotene and ?-carotene amounted to 69.20%,15.80% and 7.45% respectively. Conclusion: Gingko contained large quantity of carotenoids, mainly lutein, and next in order ?-carotene and ?-carotene.

AIM:To determine whether the vitreous cavity (VC) is capable of supporting the induction of deviant immune response to retinal soluble (S) antigen and to observe the influence of interleukin-1 (IL-1) on the immunologic properties of the VC. METHODS: Retinal S antigen was inoculated into the anterior chamber (AC) and VC in Wistar rats. Seven days after antigen inoculation, the recipient animals were immunized with S antigen and complete Freund's adjuvant. Delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) was then assessed by footpad challenge. To alter systemic immune conditions, IL-1 was administrated by intraperitoneal injection. RESULTS: Antigen-specific DTH did not develop in rats in which S antigen was injected into the AC and the VC. In contrast, strong DTH was elicited by S antigen injected into the AC and VC if IL-1 was administrated systemically for 7 consecutive days after the antigen challenge. CONCLUSION: The VC is capable of supporting immune deviation to soluble antigen by actively suppressing antigen-specific DTH. Systemic administration of exogenous IL-1 eliminates the capacity of the VC to support immune deviation inducing by soluble antigen injected locally.

Objective Experimental autoimmune anterior uveitis (EAAU) is a useful model for human anterior uveitis. The purpose of this study was to observe whether EAAU development could be prevented by anterior chamber-associated immune deviation (ACAID). Methods Bovine melanin protein (BMP) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was injected into the anterior chamber of the right eye of rats; control animals were injected with PBS alone. Seven days later, all animals were immunized with BMP in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) and pertussis toxin. The severity and incidence of uveitis was monitored by clinical examination and histopathology. The delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses were evaluated by footpad swelling elicited by injection of BMP.Results Rats intraocularly injected with BMP showed a reduced severity and incidence of EAAU, and significantly suppressed DTH response compared to control rats.Conclusion These data suggest that the ACAID procedure can be utilized to prevent the development of EAAU.

Objective To investigate the difference in ocular surface microbiota between dry eye patients and healthy subjects,and discuss the role of microbiota in dry eye.Methods Twenty cases of dry eye patients and 90 cases of healthy subjects were collected in the PLA General Hospital and Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center.The samples of conjunctiva impression cytology were collected from all subjects,and then metagenomic shotgun sequencing was performed following the DNA extraction.The differences in alpha diversity and metabolic pathways of the ocular surface microbiota between dry eye patients and healthy subjects were evaluated.Results There was no significant difference in alpha diversity of the microbial community between dry eye patients and healthy subjects (P =0.13).However,an increase of 15 species and a decrease of 10 species were detected on the ocular surface of dry eye patients.The enriched antibiotic resistance genes in dry eye patients were more than healthy subjects.Conclusion Although the alpha diversity of the microbial community on ocular surface between dry eye patients and healthy subjects are not distinguishable,a significant difference could be found in relative abundance and metabolic pathways,suggest that these specific microbiome may be related to the pathogenesis and disease progression of dry eye.

Objective To explore the effect of TNF-αon expression of TROP-2 and to explore the role of TROP-2 in the metastasis and invasion of colon cancer HCT-116 cells. Methods HCT-116 cells were cultured and treated with 0, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100 and 200μg/L TNF-α. Cell viability was assessed by MTT. The expression of TROP-2 was determined by western blot. The effects of 20μg/L TNF-αon cell migration and invasion were investigated by wound healing assay and Transwell method. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to knock down endogenous TROP-2 expression. The transcrip?tion and translation levels of TROP-2 were detected by qPCR and Western blot respectively. The migratory and invasive ca?pability of HCT-116 cells transfected with TROP-2 siRNA were checked by wound healing assay and Transwell method re?spectively. Results There is no significant change of cell viability between HCT-116 cells treated with 0,10, 20, 30 and 50μg/L TNF-α, but cell viability of HCT-116 decreased significantly with treatment of 100μg/L and 200μg/L TNF-α. Low concentration of TNF-α(≤50μg/L) led to increase of TROP-2 protein expression that peaks when 20μg/L TNF-αwas add?ed. High concentration of TNF-α(100, 200μg/L) result in decrease of TROP-2 protein. TROP-2 siRNA significantly down-regulated the expression of TROP-2 at both mRNA and protein levels in colon cancer HCT-116 cells. Compared with con?trol group, silencing TROP-2 by TROP-2 siRNA inhibited the migratory and invasive capability of HCT-116 cells. Wound healing rate and the number of transwell cell both decreased in siRNA group compared with those of control group ( P <0.05). Conclusion The mechanism that low concentration of TNF-α promoted HCT-116 cells migration and invasion might be through up-regulating the expression of TROP-2.

Objective To research the relationship between free/total prostate specific antigen (f/t PSA), PSA density(PSAD) and prostate cancer(PCa), to explore healthy middle and old-aged,the patients with BPH, the scope of reference value of PSA,frce PSA(fPSA), f/t PSA and PSAD in patients serum with PCa. Methods To de-tect 307 cases of healthy gerontism male,236 of BHP and 41 of PSA and fPSA in patients with PCa,to calcuLate f/t PSA and PSAD, to investigate the dependability between PSA ,I"PSA ,f/t PSA ,P SAD and healthy male, the patients ofBHP,the PCa ,to determine the scope of reference value PSA,fPSA,f/t PSA and PSAD fitting for Chinese. Results PSA and fPSA in patients with PCa are obviously higher than normal control(P <0.01). f/t PSA is obviously lower than the BPH and normal control(P < 0.01). When PSA is 9.25 and f/t PSA is 20%, there are better value of clini-cal diagnosis,when PSAD is 0.18 (AUC = 0.635), we can get best aceuration of diagnosis. Conclusions f/t PSA and PSAD are better than PSA in clinical diagnosis. When PSA is more than 9.25,f/t PSA is less than 20% or PSAD is more than 0.18 is significance for diagnosis. The normal reference value of PSA less than 9.25,f/t PSA more than 20%, PSAD less than 0.18 is fit for Chinese.
