Background Measurement of corneal thickness is of great significance for the design of refractive surgery and the diagnosis of eye diseases,measuring equipments and technology develop rapidly in recent years.Optovue iVue OCT is a new frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT),to compare its results with those of Pentacam and Visante OCT is helpful to objectively assess the clinical value of Optovue iVue OCT.Objective This study was to investigate the repeatability of corneal thickness measurement with Optovue iVue OCT and the comparatbility with Pentacam three-dimensional anterior segment analysis diagnostic system and Visante OCT.In addition,this study attempted to analyze the distribution of average corneal thickness in each quadrant by Optovue iVue OCT.Methods The corneal thicknesses of the corneal thinnest point,the central point and 3:00,6:00,9:00,12:00 zones 1 mm away from the center of the cornea were measured in 45 right eyes of 45 subjects with myopia using Optovue iVue OCT,Pentacam and Visante OCT in Tianjin Eye Hospital.Interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to analyze the repeatability of measurement by Optovue iVue OCT.The agreements between Optovue iVue OCT and Pentacam or Visante OCT were evaluated by Bland-Altman test.The corneal area of 1.0-2.5 mm away from the center was divided into eight quadrants and the average corneal thickness of each quadrant was measured and analysis with Optovue iVue OCT.Results No significant difference was found in corneal thickness values for 3 times by Optovue iVue OCT (P=0.546).The ICC by Optovue iVue OCT was 99.92％,99.99％,99.96％,99.99％,99.99％ and 99.97％ at the corneal thinnest point,the central point and 3:00,6:00,9:00,12:00 zones respectively.There were significant differences among the 3 kinds of methods (P =0.000,0.001,0.000,0.003,0.002,0.000).The measured values of Optovue iVue OCT were significantly lower mean 24.20 μm than those of Pentacam (P=0.000,0.001,0.000,0.003,0.004,0.000),but only the value at 12:00 zone of Optovue iVue OCT was evidently declined in comparison with that of Visante OCT (P =0.016),there were no significant differences between all the other zones (P =1.000,0.447,0.239,1.000,1.000).While the mean corneal thickness value from Pentacam lowed by 14.01 μm in comparison with Visante OCT,all zones had significant differences (P =0.009,0.005,0.034,0.017,0.008) except the central point (P =0.056).Based on the Optovue iVue OCT,the thinnest zone was at temporal quadrant in 23 eyes (accounting for 51.11％) and at superior quadrant or super nasal quadrant in 21 eyes (both at 46.66％).Conclusions Optovue iVue OCT measurement of corneal thickness is of high repeatability and is consistent with Visante OCT in myopic eye.Optovue iVue OCT shows evident difference from Pentacam in the measurement of corneal thickness.The thinnest point of the cornea is mainly in the inferior temporal quadrant and the thickest point is commonly in superior quadrant and nasal superior quadrant based on Optovue iVue OCT.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum albumin, bilirubin and cognitive impairment in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods Serum albumin, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, indirect bilirubin were analyzed in 89 cases of MCI and 82 cases of cognitively normal control. All of the cases underwent neuropsychological testing by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The risk factors of MCI were subject to Logistic regression analysis. Results The serum level of total bilirubin in MCI group were significantly lower than that in controls (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in albumin between MCI and control group (P > 0.05). The bilirubin level was positively correlated with MMSE scores and MoCA scores (including attention, delayed recall and abstract) (P < 0.05), while no significant correlation between serum albumin level and scores of MMSE and MoCA (P > 0.05) by using Spearman correlation analysis. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, education level, diabetes and serum bilirubin levels were independent risk factors for MCI. Conclusion Our data show that decreased serum level of bilirubin is positively related to cognitive impairment.

Objective To investigate the effects of SPARC (secreated protein acidic and rich in cysteine) and its peptide on proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle of human mesangial cells cultured in vitro, and explore the possible mechanism. Methods Mesangial cells were incubated in the media with various concentrations of SPARC and its peptide cultured in vitro. Cell proliferation was assessed by MTT colorimetric assay. Cell cycle and apoptosis index were analyzed by flow cytometry. The expression of cyclinD1 and p21Wafl proteins in response to SPARC and its peptide in HMC was determined by Western blot. Results Various concentrations of SPARC and its peptide could significantly inhibit the proliferation of mesangial cells in dose- and time-dependent manner, regulate the cell cycle at phrase G-0/G1 increased while cells phrase S reduced, and could also induce apoptosis. Under the stimulation of SPARC and its peptide, the expression of cyclinDl in HMC decreased markedly meanwhile the expression of p21Wafl increased significantly. Conclusions SPARC and its peptide can effectively inhibit HMC proliferation and regulate cell cycle progression. The mechanism may be mediated by inhibiting cyclinDl and stimulating p21Wafl expression, subsequently blocking cells passing through G-S check point, which will be useful for treating mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis.

Objective To observe the effect ofprostaglandin E1 intravenously in the improvement of the function of renal glomeruli and renal tubules in hypertensive patients complicated with microalbuminuria.Methods Totally 60 hypertensive patients complicated with microalbuminuria and nocturia who had received losartan for above 12 weeks,according to random number table method were divided into treatment group and control group,with 30 cases in each group.Original antihypertensive drugs were used continuously in treatment group and control group,and patients in treatment group received prostaglandin E1 intravenously for 3 courses of treatment,with losartan and other antihypertensive drugs routinely.Using self-contrast before and after treatment and contrast with control group,the change of urinary level of microalbumin (mALB),osmotic pressure,β2-microglodulin (β 2-MG) and N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) were compared.Results The blood pressure after treatment in both groups were decreased,but there was no statistically significant difference compared with that before treatment (P ＞ 0.05).After treatment of 12 weeks,urinary levels of mALB,β 2-MG and NAG in treatment group were lower than those in control group [(88.6 ± 14.2)μg/min vs.(123.9 ± 14.8) μg/min,(0.84 ±0.41) mg/L vs.(1.61 ±0.49) mg/L,(30.2 ± 10.5) U/L vs.(75.7 ± 12.8) U/L],and osmotic pressure was higher than that in control group [(591 ± 71) mmol/L vs.(454 ± 67) mmol/L],the difference had statistical significance (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Prostaglandin E1can reduce the renal ischemic state in early stage of hypertensive renal damage and can improve renal function.

ObjectiveTo study the value of localizing different types of auras. MethodsThe 31cases with epilepsy were divided into a group with auras (n =19) and a group without auras (n =12).Student t-test was used to analyze difference in onset age in the two groups. The chi-square test was used to analyze the differences in the rates of abnormal brain MRI in two groups and in the efficiency of epileptic surgery between the two groups.ResultsThe 19 patients in aura group had psychiatric symptoms,autonomic symptoms, somatosensory, visual, hearing, and dizziness auras. These auras and EEG and other examines presumebly localized the epilepsy lesions in temporal lobe, temporal lobe, contralateral parietal or temporal lobe, occipital or temporal lobe, contralateral temporal lobe, and temporal-parietal lobe. After the surgery, auras diminished in all these patients. There was no significant differences in onset age and in presence of abnormal brain MRI between the two groups. The percentage of efficient epileptic surgery in the group with aura (15/19) was significantly higher than that in the other group( 5/12, x2 =4. 456, P =0. 035). ConclusionsEpileptic aura has significant value in localization of lesion. It can help determine the origins of the epilepsy focal and guide epilepsy surgery.

Objective To study the wavelet entropy of intracranial electrode recording electroencephalogram (EEG) during the seizure onset,and explore the prospect of applying it for automatic detection of EEG.Methods Twenty-eight seizure events of 9 epilepsy patients whose outcome were Engel class Ⅰ were retrospective analyzed,by comparing the pre-ictal,initial ictal and ictal wavelet energy entropy variations of both seizure onset zone (SOZ) contacts and non-SOZ contacts.Results The wavelet energy entropy of SOZ contacts increased from pre-ictal (0.053 ± 0.047 ) to initial ictal (0.326 ± 0.250),while it declined during the ictal (0.138 ± 0.097,F =30.904,P =0.000).There was no obvious change of the wavelet energy entropy of non-SOZ contacts in different periods.By further applying time-window wavelet entropy to the detection of intracranial EEG,the results showed that the time-window wavelet energy entropy could be sensitive to reflect the seizure onset time and electrodes.Conclusion The wavelet energy entropy of contacts inside SOZ increased significantly at scizurc onset,and this conclusion can be used to assist in presurgical localization of epilepsy.
