Objective To investigate the effects of propofol on the proliferation and apoptosis of lung cancer cells as well as the related molecular mechanisms.Methods HCC827 cells were seeded in well plates with a density of 1×106 and then randomly divided into 5 groups:control group (group C),intralipid group (group E),low-dose propofol group (1.5μL/mL,group P1),medium-dose propofol group (2.2μL/mL,group P2),and high-dose propofol group (3.2μL/mL,group P3).At 6 h,24 h and 48 h after propofol treatment,the cells were collected to detect their proliferation and apoptosis.At 6h after treatment,the cells were collected for the measurement of Nrf2 mRNA and protein by RT-PCR and Western blot.Results Cell inhibition rate (IR)and apoptosis as well as Nrf2 mRNA and protein expressions in group E did not differ significantly from those in group C (P>0 .0 5 ).Compared with those in groups C and E,IR and apoptosis and Nrf2 mRNA and protein expressions were significantly increased in groups P1,P2 and P3 (P<0.05).Conclusion Propofol can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and promote cell apoptosis,thereby inhibiting the reoccurrence and metastasis of cancer cells probably via regulating the activation of Nrf2 expression.

Objective:To compare the accuracy of IOLMaster 700 and IOLMaster 500 in intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.Two hundred and sixty-two eyes of 262 patients who underwent phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation at the Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from November 2018 to November 2019 were enrolled.Preoperative biometry for cataract surgery was performed using IOLMaster 700 and IOLMaster 500.IOL power was calculated through the built-in formulas, Haigis, Holladay Ⅰ, Hoffer Q and SRK/T of the two devices.The difference in IOL power calculation between the two devices was analyzed through the prediction error of IOL power calculation using different formulas across different axial length (AL) ranges.This study complied with the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University (No.2020-038-K-33). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before the surgery.Results:There was no significant difference in mean absolute error (MAE) between IOLMaster 700 and IOLMaster 500 using Haigis, Hoffer Q and SRK/T over the entire AL range (all at P >0.05). The MAE of IOLMaster 500 was 0.47 (0.24, 0.90) D, which was significantly lower than 0.50 (0.28, 0.99) D of IOLMaster 700 using Holladay Ⅰ formula ( Z=-3.120, P=0.002). When AL was <22.0 mm and ≥24.5 mm-<26.0 mm, there was no significant difference in MAE between the two devices using the four formulas (all at P >0.05). When AL was ≥22.0 mm-24.5 mm, there was no significant difference in the MAE between the two devices using Haigis, Hoffer Q and SRK/T (all at P >0.05), but 0.42 (0.18, 0.75) D from IOLMaster 500 was smaller than 0.45 (0.25, 0.79) D from IOLMaster 700 using Holladay Ⅰ, showing a statistically significant difference ( Z=-3.487, P <0.001). But the difference was negligible and therefore was of no clinical significance.When AL was ≥26.0 mm, there was no statistically significant difference in the MAE between the two devices using Haigis, Holladay Ⅰ and SRK/T, but 0.66 (0.38, 1.00) D from IOLMaster 500 was significantly smaller than 0.98 (0.62, 1.32) D from IOLMaster 700 using Hoffer Q ( Z=-3.046, P=0.002). Conclusions:The refractive prediction accuracy of IOLMaster 700 and IOLMaster 500 using Haigis, Hoffer Q and SRK/T is similar over the entire AL range.For patient with long AL, the IOL calculation from IOLMaster 700 using Hoffer Q is significantly larger than that from IOLMaster 500, which requires extra caution in clinical practice.The accuracy of IOLMaster 700 and IOLMaster 500 for IOL prediction is very similar.
