Objective To objectively quantitative assess the visual quality in patients with myopic foveoschisis (MF) using a double-pass optical quality analysis system (OQASⅡ).Methods Sixty-two subjects participated in this cross-sectional,observational study,who were divided into three groups based on the pathologic conditions including myopic fovcoschisis group (MFG),myopic control group (MCG) and normal control group (NCG).Measurements with OQAS Ⅱ were performed for the modulation transfer function cut off frequency (MTFcut-off),the Strehl ratio (SR) and the objective scatter index (OSI).Visual data were analyzed using ANOVA and Pearson's correlation accompanied by logMAR BCVA and axial length (AL).Results The mean values for MTFcut-off,SRand OSIof MFG,MCGand NCG were 18.18±4.81,0.13± 0.03,3.50±0.44;22.87±2.66,0.14±0.02,2.42±0.29;33.68±4.70,0.23±0.02,1.68±0.20 respectively,and statistical difference were proved except SR between MFG and MCG,or BCVA between MCG and NCG (P＜ 0.05).LogMAR BCVA and AL have negative correlations to MTF cut-off (r =-0.928,-0.658;P＜0.05) and SR (r=-0.577,-0.893;P＜0.05) with high coefficients in MFG.Log MAR BCVA has negative correlations to MTF cut-off and SR (r=-0.659,-0.806;P＜0.05) in MCG.Log MAR BCVA has negative correlations to MTF cut-off and SR (r=-0.606,-0.602;P＜0.05) and positively correlated to OSI (r=0.561,P＜0.05) in NCG.Conclusions The mean value of BCVA,MTF cut-off,SR,OSI of myopic foveoschisis patients were lower than those myopic patients without foveoschisis and normal people.there exists a significant negative correlation between Log MAR BCVA,AL to MTF cut-off and SR.Compared with myopic and normal subjects,myopic foveoschisis have lower BCVA,MTF cut off,SR but higher OSI.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate(MEHP) on proliferation of primary neural stem cells(NSCs)of rats and NE-4C cells of mice and on the migration of NE-4C cells and the mechanism. METHODS NE-4C or NSCs were treated with MEHP 1,10,100 and 1000 μmol · L-1 for 72 h,respectively. The cytotoxicity was estimated with the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). Cell proliferation was analyzed by EdU assay. The mRNA expression levels of the glucocorticoid receptor(GR),signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(Stat3)and sex determining region Y (SRY)-box 2(Sox2) were detected by qRT-PCR. The protein expression levels of total GR,GRβ, Sox2,Stat3 and p-Stat3 were measured by Western blotting. RESULTS Cell viability of NE-4C cells and NSCs at MEHP 1000μmol·L-1 was significantly decreased,which was 70.3%and 40.0%of the control group, respectively. EdU assay showed that MEHP 100 μmol · L-1 decreased NE-4C cells and NSCs by 74.8%and 12.0%(P<0.05)compared with control. The effect of MEHP on the cell migration of NE-4C was evidenced by the fact that the migration was obviously reduced to (63.4±2.0)%(P<0.05)after treatment with MEHP 100μmol · L-1 for 72 h. The mRNA expression levels associated with proliferation and migration in NE-4C of GR,Stat3 and Sox2 in MEHP 100 μmol · L-1 group were down-regulated to 49.8%,26.0% and 14.0%of control(P<0.05). At MEHP 100μmol · L-1,mRNA of GR, Stat3 and Sox2 in NSCs declined to 10.0%,14.0% and 15.3% of normal control. Western blotting results revealed that protein expressions of GR,GRβ,Sox2 and p-Stat3 were remarkably inhibited by MEHP 100 μmol · L-1 in that the relative expression of NE-4C was 0.92 ± 0.17,0.87 ± 0.35,0.81 ± 0.22 and 0.62 ± 0.24(P<0.05). The corresponding protein expression in NSCs was 0.82 ± 0.20,0.56 ± 0.12,0.84 ± 0.36 and 0.53 ± 0.20(P<0.05)when the cells were treated with MEHP 100μmol · L-1 for 72 h. CONCLUSION MEHP can inhibit the proliferation and migration of NE-4C cells and NSCs possibly by decreasing Stat3 and Sox2 that are mediated by GRβ.
