BACKGROUND: Oxidation injury can lead to the apoptosis of lens epithelial cells. Some researches have found that body supplement of vitamin C is beneficial to inhibit oxidation injury by increasing the level of vitamin C in aqueous humor.OBJECTIVE: To observe the inhibitive effect of vitamin C on H2O2 induced apoptosis of lens epithelial cell.DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial taking animal's lens as subject.SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology, Medical College of Qingdao University.MATERIALS: 120 adult New Zealand rabbits of both genders, weighing 3-5 kg, were selected. Vitamin C and 300 g/L H2O2 were purchased from Shanghai Guangda Chemical Reagent Factory.METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the Central Laboratory, the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Qingdao University from January 2002 to January 2004. ①Culture of lens: 240 lenses were isolat ed from 120 rabbits after being killed. Among them, 192 clear lenses were selected and divided randomly to three groups with 64 lenses in each group: control group, H2O2 group and H2O2+vitamin C group. Lenses in the control group were incubated in non-serum and non- phenolsulfonphthalein MEM medium, those in the H2O2 group incubated in non serum and non- phenolsulfonphthalein MEM medium containing 1 mmol/L H2O2 (62 μL of 30 g/L H2O2 was added into the medium every 6 hours to keep H2O2 level maintain 1 mmol/L in the medium), and those in the H2O2+vitamin C group incubated in non-serum and non- phenolsulfonphthalein MEM medium containing 1 mmol/L H2O2 and 1 mmol/L vitamin C. Under the same culture condition, the lenses in each group were detected at hours 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72 and 108 after culture, respectively. ②Measurement of the opacity of lens: Under the white background, two black lines 0.5 mm in width, which were mutually vertical with an interval of 10 mm. The lenses were placed above the crossing to measure the opacity. ③Detecting the apoptosis of lens epithelial cells:The apoptosis of lens epithelial cells was examined using TUNEL method and DNA fragmentation assay under light microscope to calculate the apoptotic rate of epithelial cells.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Opacity of the lenses in each group;②apoptotic rate of lens epithelial cells in each group.RESULTS: ①After 108 hours of culture, the opacity of the lenses in the H2O2+vitamin C group was obviously lower than that in the H2O2 group. ②The apoptotic rates in the control group were lower that those in the H2O2group at different time point and those in the H2O2+vitamin C groupat hours 24, 48 and 72 after culture(P<0.05-0.01). The apoptotic rates in the H2O2+vitamin C group were significantly lower than those in the H2O2group at different time points after culture (P<0.01). ③The findings of DNA fragment analysis showed that the DNA "ladder" was found in the H2O2 group during 24-72 hours, while no DNA "ladder" but only normal electrophoresis strap were present in the other two groups 24 hours after culture.CONCLUSION: Lens can take refuge from the oxidative injury of H2O2with the addition of vitamin C. As a result, the apoptosis rate of lens epithelial cells and further, cataract formation can be restrained.

Objective To explore the relationships of quality of life ( QOL ) and functional status in patients with malignant bone tumors after operation. Methods European organization for research and treatment of cancer quality of life questionnaire C30 (EORTC-QLQ-C30), social support revalued scale (SSRS) and Karnofsky performance scale (KPS) were used to investigate the levels of QOL, social support and functional status. The correlations between them were explored. Results The overall score by QOL was (58.33 ± 18.94). The score by KPS was positively related to somatic function, role function, social function, and general health status (P<0.01), but negatively related to tiredness, pains, insomnia and financial burden (P<0.01). Conclusions The QOL in patients with malignant bone tumors after operation is at a lower level and the function is at a medium level. Nurses should assess the function and make out interventional measures for them so as to improve their QOL.

Objective To assess the optimal visiualization capacity of brachial plexus with three-dimensional nerve-sheath signal increased with inked rest-tissue rapid acquisition of relaxation imaging (3D SHINKEI), exploring the feasibility of preliminary diagnostic value on brachial plexus diseases. Methods MRI scans were performed on 24 healthy volunteers with no history of brachial plexus injury, and 46 patients whose outcomes of lesions had been verified as post-ganglionic brachial plexus injuries by surgery or clinical follows-up . The scan series consist 3D SHINKEI, STIR in the coronal plane as well as DW-MRN in the axial plane using a 3.0 T MR system. The source and post-processed images of 3D SHINKEI and DW-MRN were scored according to the optimal visibility on brachial plexus, in the meanwhile, contrast-to-noise ratio of the original images in the 3D SHINKEI and STIR sequences were calculated separately. Two radiologists blindly compared the detection rate of positive brachial plexus injuries between 3D SHINKEI and STIR in 46 patients. And then analyze the outcomes by means of Kappa test, Mann-Whitney test , independent sample t test, and Chi-square test. Results Post-ganglionic brachial plexus showed high intensity in the 3D SHINKEI sequence. In the 24 healthy volunteers, the scores by the two radiologists were 3.6 ± 0.6, 3.5 ± 0.6, 3.0 ± 0.2, 2.9 ± 0.1, respectively. There was statistical difference between the two sequences (Z=2.667,P=0.008,P<0.05). And the Kappa was 0.8 and 0.6 with favorable consistency. The CNR of 3D SHINKEI and STIR were 0.61 ± 0.07, 0.42 ± 0.03 (t=12.78, P=0.001, P<0.05). The positive detection rates of post-ganglionic brachial plexus injuries on 3D SKINKEI and STIR were, 78.3%, 52.2%(χ2=9.421, P<0.05). Conclusions 3D SHINKEI sequence demonstrates robust visibility consistently and can clearly display the structures and signals of post-ganglionic abnormality, compared with DW-MRN and STIR. This technique can be helpful to provide more complementary information to further confirm the diagnosis of brachial plexus injuries.
