To research the association between primary progressive pterygium and tear film.
●METHODS: Totally 60 cases of primary progressive pterygium from September 2012 to June 2013 in our hospital were enrolled. The pterygium eye was for observation group and the contralateral eye as the control group. The differences of eye symptoms, tear film break-up time ( BUT ), Schirmer Ⅰ test ( S Ⅰ t ), corneal fluorescein staining (FL), tear ferning test (TFT) and the conjunctival impression cytology ( ClC) were compared between two groups.
●RESULTS: The eyes in observation group had higher symptoms score, FL score, grades of conjunctival squamous metaplasia, percentage of abnormal tear ferning, but had lower BUT and density of goblet cell, the differences had statistically significance (P<0. 05); Similar S Ⅰ t results were presented in the two groups, the difference had no statistically significance (P>0. 05).
● CONCLUSlON: Primary progressive pterygium can cause a decrease in tear film stability, which in turn lead to some dry eye symptoms such as dry feeling and burning sensation, and its mechanism may be caused by multi-factors, such as density change of goblet cell and the tear fluid dynamics.

Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2006;12(1):60-61
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of early systemic rehabilitation trainings on the function recovery in patients after replantation of severed digit. Methods21 patients were planned systemic rehabilitation trainings more than 2 months after operation. Total Active Measurement (TAM) and Two Points Distance (2-PD) were used for the assessment of motor and sensory function. Employment situation were also followed-up after being discharged from hospital. ResultsThe omni-efficiency of motor and sensory function of the 21 cases was 92.3% and 88.5%. 19 cases of them returned to the original work, 2 cases changed another work. ConclusionThe early systemic rehabilitation trainings are very useful for the hands function and vacation ability of the patients after replantation of severed digit.

Objective To discuss the method,safety and effect of malignant pancreas tumor treated by CT guided percutaneous embedding of~(125)I. Methods 32 cases of malignant pancreas tumor with CT scan and contrast enhancement were retrospectively analysed.All the cases had been confirmed pathologically be- fore CT guided therapy.The number of~(125)I particle was 12~46,The distance between particles was 0.~1.2 cm. The number of puncture point was 1~2.The number of puncture direction was 2-5 times.Results Regarding 32 cases for 1 month,the size of the tumor reduced in 11 cases,no change in 20 cases,and increased in 1 case.As for 31 cases for 2 months,the size reduced in 16 cases,no change in 13 cases,and enlarged in 3 cases.Regarding 30 cases for 3 months,the size reduced in 18 cases,no change in 11 cases,and increased in 3 cases. Regarding 28 cases for 6 months, he size reduced in 10 cases, no change in 5 cases, and in- creased in 13 cases.Regarding 22 cases for 1 year,12 cases had been done the second therapy,the size of the tumor reduced in 16 cases,no change in 3 cases,and increased in 3 cases.Conclusion The size of pancreas tumors were reduced obviously,the symptoms were relieved after the treatment.The method turned out to be safe and accurate.

Objective: To study the effects of acute cold stress on connexin43 (Cx43) protein expression with drug intervention, and cell to cell conduction with its mechanism in neonatal rats’ myocardial cells.
Methods: The primary neonatal rats’ myocardial cell culture was conducted in 4 groups. Group① , the cells were normally cultured, Group②, the cells were cultured at 4℃, Group③, the cells were cultured at 0℃and Group④, the anti-arrhythmia peptide (AAP 10) was added in Group②and Group③. The apoptosis rate of myocardial cells was evaluated by lfow cytometry assay, mRNA and protein expressions of CX43 were examined by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis, and CX43 phosphorylation product (P-CX43) was detected.
Results: Compared with normally cultured cells, the myocardial cell apoptosis rate was obviously increased by acute cold stress at 4℃and 0℃with time extension. The mRNA expression of Cx43 was decreased at varying degrees at 4℃and 0℃stimulation, the protein expression of Cx43 was decreased at varying degrees at 4℃and 0℃stimulation with time extension, and P-Cx43 level was decreased. While the APP 10 intervention may obviously elevate the protein levels of Cx43 and P-Cx43.
Conclusion: Acute cold stress could reduce the protein expression of CX43 and P-CX43, while APP 10 intervention may elevate such expression and improve the cell to cell conduction in neonatal rats’ myocardial cells.

Toll like receptors (TLRs) are the earliest discovered natural immune pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). The abnormality of TLR signal transduction pathway is the key factor leading to chronic inflammatory, cancer, nervous system disease and cardiovascular diseases. The development of TLR agonists and inhibitors has attracted much attention. Currently known TLR2 agonists, such as lipopeptides or their derivatives, have certain limitations in drug development due to their difficult synthesis, easy hydrolysis, and triggering inflammatory cytokine storms, while inhibitors have been rarely reported. New small molecule TLR2 agonists or inhibitors with higher stability are more likely to be developed as tumor immunotherapy or anti-inflammatory drugs.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of urinaryα1-acid glycoprotein (AAG)in the early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy(DN).Methods 266 cases of diabetic patients in Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Medical School of Nanjing University from May 2013 to October 2014 were recruited,and patients were divided into four groups based on the urine al-bumin/creatinine (ACR)levels,as follows:non-diabetic nephropathy group (Non-DN)152 cases,low urinary albumin/cre-atinine group (LUA)49 cases,high urinary albumin/creatinine group (HUA)32 cases,and very high urinary albumin/cre-atinine group (VHUA)33 cases.63 cases of healthy subjects (NC group)and 66 cases of fracture patients (stress group) were recruited as control group.The urinary AAG and other biochemical indicators were measured for all subjects.Results The level of urinary AAG in DN group was significantly higher than that in stress group,Non-DN group and NC group (t=7.951,7.985,8.021,P <0.05),and gradually increased from LUA,HUA to VHUA group (P <0.05).The urinary AAG level was positively correlated with UA,Cr,CRP and ACR (r=0.169,0.286,0.373,0.606,P <0.01).Stepwise logistic re-gression analysis showed that the urinary AAG was the independent risk factor of DN (P <0.05).Conclusion The level of urinary AAG has good application value in the early diagnosis and monitoring progression of DN.

Objective: To explore the regulative role of extracellular regulated protein kinase-5 (ERK5)/Bcl-2 interacting mediator of cell death (Bim) pathway in hypothermal stimulation induced neonatal rat’s cardiomyocytes (CMs) damage and apoptosis.
Methods: CMs were cultured for hypothermal stimulation and the speciifc siRNA was used to down-regulate the ERK5 or Bim in CMs. The cell apoptosis was detected by lfow cytometry, protein expression was examined by Western blot analysis, the intracellular Ca2+, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) were evaluated by lfuorescent labeling and lfow cytometry.
Results: In hypothermal stimulated CMs, ERK5 siRNA could promote Bim protein expression, but Bim siRNA could not inlfuence ERK5, while attenuated p-ERK5 expression. ERK5 siRNA induced higher apoptosis rate, while Bim siRNA could decrease such effect. ERK5 siRNA increased the intracellular Ca2+overloading, ROS activation andΔΨm damage, while Bim siRNA played the role to against those effects in hypothermal stimulated CMs.
Conclusion: Our study revealed that ERK5/Bim pathway played the important regulative roll in hypothermal stimulation induced neonatal rat’s CMs damage and apoptosis.
