N". Except the average (Avg)-RNFLT had positive correlation with diopter in severe myopia group (r=0.372, P=0.047), no significant correlation was observed in other parameters among three groups. Conclusion RNFLT in myopia measured by OCT may have its own rule. Avg-RNFLT may have positive correlation with diopter in severe myopia group.

Objective To study the expression-mode and dynamic transmutation of high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) in hepatocytes of the mouse model with acute hepatic failure and to study the interaction beween HMGB1 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Methods The mouse model of acute hepatic failure was established by injecting D-galactosamine (D-GalN) and lipopolysaccharide(LPS). Immunohistochemistry SABC method was used to detect the HMGB1 expression at 6 time points. The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine serum TNF-α. IL-1β levels. Paired t test was used for statistical analysis. Results The HMGB1 expression was detectable at 2 hours after injection, which dramatically increased over time and peaked at 24 hours after injection. The serum TNF-a level and IL-1β level increased right after injection. The TNF-a level peaked at 8 hours after injection with a maximum value of (473.42±22. 99) pg/mL. The IL-1β level peaked at 2 hours after injection with a maximum value of (724. 49±34. 24) pg/mL. Both cytokine levels slowly decreased after peaking. IL-1β level returned normal with (51. 49±36. 87) pg/mL. Conclusions HMGB1 is one of the most important factors during the development of acute hepatic failure, which can promote the secretion of TNF-α and IL-1β at early stage and be abundantly expressed under the effect of these cytokines at middle and late stages with the result of liver damage. This process is directly correlated with the development and severity of hepatic failure.

At present, filtration surgery remains an important treatment of glaucoma, and filtering bleb fibrosis is the main cause for treatment failure. Filtering bleb fibrosis is a common fiber hyperplastic disease, and it relates to the activation and proliferation of fibroblasts and the excessive production of extracellular matrix ( ECM) such as collagen protein. The most frequently-used drugs for filtering bleb fibrosis in clinic are 5-fluoro-2,4 (1h, 3h) pyrimidinedione ( 5 - Fu ) and mitomycin ( MMC ) . Although they are effective in some degree, they also have some serious side effects which restrict their clinical use. Triptolide ( TPL) is a major active component of the medicinal plant, tripterygium wilfordii hook. f. ( TWHF) . TPL has multiple pharmacological activities including immunosuppressive, anti- inflammatory, anti- cancer and anti-fertility activity. Reviewing related literatures published in recent ten years, we confirmed that TPL seemed to possess a pharmacological activity in treating filtering bleb fibrosis. Since it has three major functions:1. inhibit the activation and proliferation of fibroblasts and the excessive production of collagen protein; 2. alleviate the inflammatory reaction after surgical wound to suppress fibrous scar formation; 3. TPL has a protective effect on retinal ganglion cells ( RGCs ) . We further find that TPL's anti-fibrosis activity mainly results from that it inhibits TGF-β/Smad,NF-κB and PI3K/AKT signal transduction pathway. This comprehensive analysis about the feasibility of Triptolide's role in treating filtering bleb fibrosis after the filtration surgery of glaucoma can help us develop new drugs for filtering bleb fibrosis and exploit TPL's clinical value on some level.

Objective In order to evaluate the quality and performance of chlorine dioxide disinfectant,it is necessary to develop a set of methods to determine the components in chlorine dioxide disinfectant.Methods Iodometry,malonic acid iodometry,improved malonic acid iodometry and five-step iodometry were employed to determine the components including ClO_2, Cl_2,ClO_2~-,and ClO_3~-in chlorine dioxide disinfectant,the advantages and disadvantages of the test methods were compared.Results Using iodometry,the liquid stabilized chlorine dioxide products activated by hydrochloric acid,the content of ClO_2 was 20.23 mg/ml that was accord with the content which was marked in the product label.Using malonic acid iodometriy,the liquid stabilized chlorine dioxide contents of ClO_2 was 19.99 mg/ml,Cl_2 was 0.35 mg/ml,in which a little chlorine was detected.Using improved malonate iodometry and five-step iodometry,the activation rates of the liquid stabilized chlorine dioxide products were 88.0% and 75.6% respectively,ClO_2 and ClO_2~-in the liquid stabilized chlorine dioxide products could be distinguished.Conclusion Active chlorine dioxide and residual ClO_2~-can be detected by using iodometriy and improved malonic acid iodometry,but iodometriy and malonic acid iodometry can not.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of body weight related index and to explore the relationship between weight related index and cardiovascular diseases in rural residents in Yunnan Province. Methods By random cluster sampling method,rural residents were selected in Yunnan Province. The data were collected by face-to-face questionnaire and medical examination. Results 4070 rural residents in Yunnan participated in this study. The survey results showed that gender,age,education level and ethnicity affected both the distribution of body weight related index and low body weight,overweight,obesity,and central obesity(P < 0.05). Compared with low body weight,non overweight,non obesity and non central obesity group,non low body weight,overweight,obesity and central obesity group had higher prevalence rate of hypertension(P < 0.01). Among central obesity group,the prevalence rate of coronary heart disease was higher than non central obesity group(P < 0.01). Conclusion The distribution of body weight related index in rural residents of Yunnan province showed some special characteristic. The overweight,obesity,and central obesity were related to cardiovascular diseases. Change unhealthy living habits or behavior as well as improving their cultural quality have effects on controlling body weight related index and help to reduce the prevalence rates of overweight,obesity and central obesity which can further reduce the prevalence rates of cardiovascular diseases.
