OBJECTIVE: To confirm the efficacy and safety of latanoprost in treating glaucoma.METHODS: In a double blind, randomized control clinical trial, we compared the efficacy and adverse drug reactions of once daily topically applied 0.005% latanoprost with those of twice daily 0.5% timolol for 12 weeks in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.RESULTS: The study included 46 patients(22 pts.randomized to latanoprost treatment, 24 pts.to timolol) , 46 patients remained at the end of the study.Comparing with baseline diurnal intraocular pressure(IOP) , the IOP reduction(mean±standard deviation) achieved with latanoprost(7.86±2.39) mmHg, (31.1%, P<0.001),and timolol(6.24±2.58)mmHg (24.9%,P<0.001),the difference between the two groups(1.62mmHg) being significant(P<0.01). Two patients treated with latanoprost had foreign body sensation. No other ocular and systemic adverse reactions related to the two drugs were found. CONCLUSION: The results of this study demonstrated that 0.005% latanoprost applied once daily is well tolerated and more effective in reducing IOP than 0.5% timolol applied twice daily. Thus, latanoprost has the potential for becoming one of the ideal antiglaucoma drugs.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the mechanism underlying sodium butyrate (NaB)-induced apoptosis of a human colon cancer cell line HCT-116.
METHODSThe apoptosis of HCT-116 cells induced by NaB was confirmed by hoechst33342 staining and AnnexinV+ PI assay. The changes in the intracellular localization of stromal interaction molecule (STIM1) and Orai1 following NaB treatment were detected by immunofluorescence technique. Western blotting was used to investigate the protein expression levels of STIM1 and Orai1.
RESULTSNaB induced apoptosis and caused translocation and colocalization of STIM1 and Orai1 in HCT-116 cells.
CONCLUSIONThe apoptosis of human colon cancer cells induced by NaB is correlated to the redistribution of STIM1 and Orai1.

Objective To investigate the effect of infusion of spleen lymphocytes treated by extracorporeal photochemotherapy on the regulatory T cell (Treg)and survival time of skin allograft in mice. Methods The skin allograft model in mice was established with C57BL/6 mice as donors and BALB/c mice as recipients. The spleen lymphocytes (CSP,BSP)in mice C57BL/6 and BALB/c were isolated,and the mice spleen lymphocytes (PUVA-SP) treated with 8-methoxypsoralen plus ultraviolet (PUVA)were prepared. The experimental animals were randomly divided into 5 groups according to the compositions infused into the recipients through vein:PUVA-BSP,PUVA-CSP,BSP,CSP and phosphate buffer solution (PBS)control groups (n=12 in each group). All recipients of each group were injected with PUVA-BSP,PUVA-CSP,BSP,CSP or PBS on day 7 before the operation,on the operation day and day 7 after the operation through the tail vein,respectively. The survival time of graft in the recipients was observed,and the expression of CD4 +CD25 +Foxp3 +Treg in peripheral blood was detected. Results After skin allograft,the rate of CD4 +CD25 +Foxp3 +Treg in peripheral blood of the recipients in PUVA-BSP group and PUVA-CSP group was significantly higher than those of BSP, CSP and PBS control groups. The rate of CD4 +CD25 +Foxp3 +Treg in PUVA-CSP group was higher than that of PUVA-BSP group,while BSP and CSP groups were lower than that of PBS control group. The survival time of skin graft in the recipients in PUVA-BSP group and PUVA-CSP group was significantly longer than that of BSP,CSP and PBS control groups (all P<0.05 ). Conclusions Sufficient infusion of PUVA-SP can induce more CD4 +CD25 +Foxp3 +Treg in the recipients and prolong survival time of skin graft significantly.

Objective:To estimate the correlation between DR and diabetic corneal nerve damage by comparing changes of corneal sub-basal nerve plexus (SNP) in the whorl-like region in different DR stages.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 66 eyes of 66 type 2 diabetes patients aged 50-65 years old in Shanxi Eye Hospital from September 2018 to January 2019 were included.The subjects were divided into non-diabetic retinopathy group (NDR), non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy group (NPDR) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy group (PDR) accordingly, the right eyes were enrolled.20 eyes of 20 age and gender matched age-related cataract patients were also included as control group.All the subjects underwent confocal corneal microscopy to observe the morphology of SNP in the whorl-like region and measure the nerve fiber length (NFL) in this area.Covariance analysis using disease course as the covariate was used to analyze the differences of NFL value among groups, and Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between NFL value and DR stages.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Shanxi Eye Hospital.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to entering the study cohort.Results:The whorl-like region were observed in all the eyes.In the control group, nerve fibers were uniform in thickness, densely distributed with regular course, and most of the tested eyes had intact whorl-like structure.Nerve fibers in different DR groups all showed generally decrease in diameter and density, with increase in tortuosity, accompanied by different degrees of whorl-like structure loss.Eyes in the NDR group and NPDR group mainly showed nerve structure loss in the whorl-like center; while some eyes in the PDR group also showed nerve structure loss in the inferior and temporal of the whorl-like region.The NFL values were (21.08±4.74), (16.47±6.35), (14.95±3.90), and (11.61±3.24)mm/mm 2 in the control group, the NDR group, the NPDR group, and the PDR group, respectively, the overall difference was statistically significant ( F=10.541, P<0.001). The NFL value in the control group was significantly higher than those in the different DR groups, the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.01). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that there was a significant negative correlation between NFL value and DR stages ( rs=-0.356, P=0.003). Conclusions:Diabetic SNP damage occurs earlier than DR, and progress gradually with the development of DR; Different stages of DR are accompanied by different degrees of nerve structure loss; The structure loss begins at the whorl-like center and gradually develops to downward and the temporal side.The ophthalmologists should take the condition of ocular surface into account when treating ocular fundus diseases of diabetic patients.

Objective:To compare the changes of corneal asphericity and higher-order aberrations after smart pulse technology-assisted transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (Smart) for low and moderate myopia and to investigate the changes in the shape of the front corneal surface in patients with different diopters.Methods:A non-randomized controlled study design was used.Ninety-eight eyes of 54 patients with moderate or low myopia who underwent Smart surgery in Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital from November 2018 to March 2019 were included.The 41 eyes of 23 patients with low myopia were set as the low-myopia group, and 57 eyes of 31 patients with moderate myopia were assigned as the moderate-myopia group.The Pentacam anterior segment analysis system was used to measure Q value, index of surface variance (ISV), corneal higher-order aberration (HOA), corneal vertical coma (Z 3-1), corneal horizontal coma (Z 31) and spherical aberration (Z 40) before surgery, 1 month and 3 months after surgery.The anterior surface morphology was compared between the low-myopia and moderate-myopia group.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlations between measurement parameters.The study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital (No.2019KY-17). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before surgery. Results:Corneal Q value, ISV, HOA and Z 40 were 0.445±0.191, 26.973±5.611, 0.671±0.142 and 0.384±0.188, respectively, in the low-myopia group at one month after surgery, which were significantly increased than corresponding preoperative values of -0.273±0.817, 13.784±2.376, 0.433±0.687 and 0.231±0.062 (all at P<0.05). Corneal Q value, ISV, HOA and Z 40 were 0.693±0.203, 34.038±5.773, 0.874±0.216 and 0.520±0.129, respectively, in the moderate-myopia group at one month after surgery, which were significantly increased than corresponding preoperative values of -0.309±0.104, 14.838±3.992, 0.409±0.081 and 0.228±0.089 (all at P<0.05). Corneal Q values, ISV, HOA and Z 40 in the moderate-myopia group were higher than those in the low-myopia group at different time points after surgery, showing significant differences between the two groups (all at P<0.05). There was no significant difference in postoperative 1-month and 3-month corneal Z 3-1 and Z 31 between the two groups (both at P>0.05). The results of correlation analysis showed that there were no significant differences in ΔQ value and ΔISV between the two groups, both of which were negatively correlated with spherical equivalent (ΔQ value: low-myopia group: r=-0.364, P=0.044; moderate-myopia group: r=-0.589, P<0.01; ΔISV: low-myopia group: r=-0.298, P=0.039; moderate-myopia group: r=-0.409, P=0.022). ΔQ value and ΔZ 40 were positively correlated in the moderate-myopia group ( r=0.348, P=0.009); there was no significant correlation between ΔQ value and ΔZ 40 in the low-myopia group ( r=0.180, P=0.266). Conclusions:The corneal high-order aberrations and ISV after Smart are increased in comparison with preoperative values in the low-myopia and moderate-myopia eyes, and the corneal Q values change from negative to positive.The effect of Smart on corneal asphericity is less in the low-myopia eyes.

Objective:To explore the damage of panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) to the subbasal nerve plexus (SNP) and its related mechanisms by comparing SNP changes in wide-field mosaic between before and after PRP treatment in diabetic patients.Methods:A randomized controlled study was conducted.Fifty-seven patients (114 eyes) with type 2 diabetes mellitus and binocular diabetic retinopathy (DR) stage IV to receive PRP treatment in Shanxi Eye Hospital from April to November 2019 were enrolled.The subjects were randomly divided into horizontal-vertical laser group and vertical-horizontal laser group according to a random number table.Twenty-nine eyes from 29 patients were assigned to the horizontal-vertical laser group with the photocoagulation sequence of temporal-nasal-inferior-superior.Twenty-eight eyes from 28 patients were assigned to the vertical-horizontal laser group with the photocoagulation sequence of inferior-superior-temporal-nasal.The severer eyes of each subject were chosen as the treatment eye and the contralateral eyes were chosen as the control eye.Corneal confocal laser scanning microscopy (CCM) was performed before PRP treatment, 1 week after each photocoagulation, and 1 month after the completion of PRP treatment to collect images of the SNP over an area of 2-3 mm around the whorl-like pattern.Captured images at each time were merged into one image by using the Photoshop CC 2017 image processing software, and then the nerve fiber length (NFL) of whorl-like pattern was measured by Neuron J image analysis software.McGill pain questionnaire was used to investigate the pain of patients after each photocoagulation.The NFL changes of SNP at different time points were compared between different eyes and different photocoagulation sequence groups.The study protocol adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by an Ethics Committee of Shanxi Eye Hospital (No.201804b). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to entering the study cohort.Results:After PRP treatment, there were different degrees of neural structure loss of SNP nerve fibers in 11 treatment eyes, but there was no significant change in SNP nerve fibers in the control eyes.There were significant differences in NFL between the treatment eyes and the control eyes at various time points ( Feyes=2.020, P=0.039; Ftime=4.062, P=0.001). In the horizontal-vertical laser group, different degrees of neural structure loss on the photocoagulation side were found in SNP nerve fibers after the first and second photocoagulation.In the vertical-horizontal laser group, different degrees of neural structure loss on the photocoagulation side were found in SNP nerve fibers after the third and fourth photocoagulation.There was no significant difference in NFL of treatment eyes between the two groups ( Fgroup=0.099, P=0.754), but there was a significant difference in NFL at various time points before and after treatment ( Ftime=5.231, P<0.001). There were 9 (9/57) patients who complained of pain after PRP, which occurred at the first time of photocoagulation in 7 of them. Conclusions:SNP damage may occur after PRP in patients with DR, and SNP is prone to be damaged on the photocoagulation side when performing horizontal photocoagulation.
