International Eye Science 2014;(6):1080-1082
AIM: To investigate the effect and safety of laser peripheral iridoplasty combined with iridectomy in the unmanageable acute angle - closure glaucoma by medication.
METHODS:Totally 19 cases (21 eyes) with acute angle-closure glaucoma, including 15 cases ( 17 eyes ) with primary glaucoma and 4 cases (4 eyes) with intumescent cataract - induced glaucoma, were recruited into the study. The intraocular pressure ( IOP ) of all cases were still >21mmHg after 24h drug treatment, and then were treated by laser peripheral iridoplasty combined with iridectomy. The visual accurity, IOP, cornea, peripheral anterior chamber depth, anterior chamber angle and complications were observed at 24h after the surgery.
RESULTS:The mean IOP of all cases was reduced from 53. 09±11. 01mmHg before the surgery to 14. 98±4. 21mmHg at 24h after the treatment, with significant statistical difference ( P< 0. 01 ). The visual acurity of all cases increased in different degrees from handle move to 0. 3 to 0-1-1. 0 at 24h after the treatment. In all cases, cornea edema reduced or cleared up, peripheral anterior chamber depth increased, and anterior chamber angle reopened in different degrees. Complications included iris hemorrhage in 11 eyes (52. 4%), mild iritis in 21 eyes (100%). No cornea burn was encountered.
CONCLUSION: Laser peripheral iridoplasty combined with iridectomy is an effective and safe method for the treatment of the unmanageable acute angle - closure glaucoma by medication.
2.Traffic-related air pollution and allergic rhinitis.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2018;32(2):153-156
Exposure to traffic-related air pollutants(TRAP)has been implicated in airway allergic diseases.Recent findings include epidemiologic and mechanistic studies that shed new light on the impact of TRAP on allergic rhinitis(AR)and the biology underlying this impact.These studies have found that oxidative stress induced by TRAP could affect the axis of epithelial cell-dendritic cell-T cell towards a T-helper 2 immune response,which is the major mechanism between TRAP and AR.Further,epigenetics and microRNA might be involved in this process.Our review will summarize the most recent findings in each of these areas.

6.Discussion of difficult problems of early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2014;30(8):734-736
Pancreatic cancer is a common malignant neoplasm of the pancreas with an extremely high mortality.Currently,the early diagno-sis of pancreatic cancer is still not ideal.Attention should be paid to some clinical warning symptoms,such as unexplained abdominal and back pain,jaundice,and unexpected diabetes.Additionally,the combined use of CA19-9,CEA,and other tumor markers,the attention to biochemical indicators,the detection of mutation in KAI1 or p53 gene,and the exploration of the value of miRNA in clinical diagnosis are of great significance.On the other hand,ultrasound,CT,MRCP,ERCP,PET-CT,and other imaging methods,as well as effective col-lection of cytology specimens,should be performed.Thus,there is hope for the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2015;(7):407-410
Background:Lipopolysaccharide( LPS)and(1,3)-β-D glucan( BG)are involved in the process of Crohn’s disease(CD)by activating immune cells in gut to produce inflammatory cytokines. Aims:To investigate the relationship between LPS,BG and disease activity of CD. Methods:Sixty-eight patients with CD from April 2013 to July 2014 at Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital were enrolled,of them 41 cases were active-CD( A-CD group)and 27 cases were remission-CD(R-CD group). Twenty healthy subjects were served as normal controls. Crohn’s disease activity index (CDAI)and simple endoscopic score for Crohn’s disease(SES-CD)were used to assess the disease activity and severity. Serum levels of LPS,BG,ESR and CRP were determined,and their relationships were analyzed. Results:Serum levels of LPS and BG in A-CD group were significantly higher than those in R-CD and control groups(P all < 0. 05). No significant differences in serum levels of LPS and BG were found between R-CD and control groups(P all > 0. 05). Levels of LPS and BG were positively correlated with CDAI,SES-CD and ESR(P all < 0. 05),but was not correlated with CRP(P all >0. 05). Conclusions:Serum levels of LPS and BG can be used to assess the disease activity and severity of endoscopic mucosal lesions in CD.

Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2010;26(5):414-417
Objective To analyze the onset, clinical manifestation, causation, complications of pediatric uveitis. MethodsOne hundred and two patients with uveitis under 16 year-old were retrospectively studied. They visited the clinic in Peking University First Hospital from November 1979 to December 2008. Their age ranged from 2.5 to 16 years old, with a mcan of 11.9 years. Routine exam was carried out, including visual acuity, slit lamp, fundus, and laboratory workup. The diagnosis and classification were made by the anatomic location according to the standard of The International Uveitis Working Group. The data of disease history, age of onset, manifestation, recurrence, causation, systemic diseases, complications, and lab examination were analyzed. Results A total of 102 patients (170 eyes)with pediatric uveitis were included in this study, 68 patients (66.6%) were bilateral cases. Anterior uveitis represented in 38 patients (37.3% ), intermediate uveitis in 19 (18.6%), posterior uveitis in 10 (9.8%),and panuveitis in 35 (34.3%). The disease duration was from five days to 2.4 years, with a mean of 3.6 months. The follow-up time was two weeks to more than ten years. The first three causes of pediatric uveitis were juvenile idiopathic arthritis, Vogt-Koyanagi Harada disease, and Behcet's disease. 36 patients were found with complications, and among them 19 had complicated cataract, seven had secondary glaucoma, five had corneal band dystrophy, 12 had iris synechia (both anterior and posterior), one had retinal detachment, two had eye atrophy, and one patient with juvenile idiopathic arthritis had bilateral femoral head necrosis because of the use of steroid and hip joint was replaced. There were ten children suffering more than two complications. Conclusions Pediatric uveitis is a possible blindness disease with variety of etiology and manifestations, and tends to cause complications. Early and special attention must be taken to avoid serious consequences.
10.Effects of Ca~(2+)/ calmodulin dependent protein kinase Ⅱ signal pathway in DPDPE long term treatment NG108-15 cells
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1987;0(01):-
AIM To observe the change of Ca 2+ /calmodulin dependent protein kinaseⅡ (CaMKⅡ) signal pathway in opioids dependent NG108-15 cells and the relationships between Ca 2+ /calmodulin dependent protein kinaseⅡ (CaMKⅡ) signal pathway and cAMP accumulation. METHODS NG108-15 cells were used as an in vitro model system. Competitive protein binding assay and radioimmunoassay were used to examine the intracellular cAMP accumulation. Calmodulin activity was assayed by PDE method. CaMKⅡ activity was assayed by ?- 32 P incorporation of syntide-2. mRNA expression of mDOR was measured by RT-PCR. RESULTS DPDPE long-term treatment also increased cAMP accumulation, and resulted in opioids dependence in NG108-15 cells; DPDPE long-term treatment increased calmodulin activity and CaMKⅡ activity in NG108-15 cells. Specific calmodulin antagonist W-7 was found to inhibit significantly the elevation of calmodulin and CaMKⅡ activity which resulted from DPDPE long-term treatment, and CaMKⅡ inhibitor KN-62 also inhibited elevation of CaMKⅡ activity by DPDPE long-term treatment. DPDPE long-term treatment increased cAMP accumulation, when W-7 or KN-62 was added at the same time, cAMP accumulation decreased. When naloxone was added to NG108-15 cells which were long-term treated by DPDPE, calmodulin and CaMKⅡactivity increased more. mRNA level of mDOR did not change significantly in opioids dependent NG108-15 cells. CONCLUSION Ca 2+ /CaMKⅡ signal pathway was involved in the mechanisms of opioids dependence through regulating cAMP level when DPDPE is long-term administered to NG108-15 cells.
