Objective To compare the different influences on the cornea endothelial cell of surgery methods between human cataract extraction and phacoemulsification.Methods 25 cataract patients(36 eyes) aged 55 to 84 undergoing extra capsula extraction and phacoemulsification combined with implanation ocular lens were analyzed in rate of endothelial cell and density within 2 weeks preoperatively and postoperatively.Results The rates reduced in varying degrees.Conclusions Understanding cornea endothelial cell before operation is clinically significant for evaluating cornea edema after surgery and taking essential measures.

Objective To investigate whether emodin(1,3,8-trihydroxy-6-methylanthraquinone) can attenuate inflammatory response in rats' lungs with acute necrotic pancreatitis (ANP). Method Acute necrotic pancreatitis model was induced by injection of 3% sodium taurocholic acid into the subcapsular of pancreas and emodin was administered by intestine perfusion. Plasma amylase of 3, 6 and 12 h with acute necrotic pancreatitis was measured together with the detection of IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 mRNA expressions in rats' lungs by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Immunohistochemistry was detected the expression of IL-1β converting enzyme (ICE) in the rats' lungs. Result Plasma amylase of 3, 6 and 12 h with acute necrotic pancreatitis groups are obviously high as compared with normal group(P<0.05). Plasma amylase was (1 611.20±218.72)IU/L in normal group. Plasma amylase of 3, 6 and 12 h with acute necrotic pancreatitis groups were (1 981.40±56.81)IU/L, (3 287.40±612.37)IU/L and (4 914.60±746.82)IU/L. Plasma amylase of 3, 6 and 12 h with acute necrotic pancreatitis after treatment with emodin groups were obviously low as compared with acute necrotic pancreatitis groups. The plasma amylase was(1 617.20±136.80)IU/L,(2 323.40±318.19) IU/L and (2 670.20±390.03)IU/L respectively. The study showed that the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokin IL-1β and the expression of IL-6, as well as the expression of IL-1β converting enzyme(ICE) were decreased and IL-10 was increased. Conclusion The study demonstrates that emodin plays an important role in reducing plasma amylase level. Emodin exerts anti-inflammatory effects in acute necrotic pancreatitis rats' lungs by downregulating the mRNA expression of IL-1β and IL-6 and upregulating the mRNA expression of IL-10.

Objective To investigate the significance of 25 hydroxyvitamin D3 (25 (OH)D3) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by comparing the differences of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels between type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and healthy people.Methods One hundred and forty-seven patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were selected as the T2DM group,and 135 healthy people were selected as the normal control (NC) group.The level of serum 25 (OH) D3 was detected by ELISA.Clinical data were recorded and biochemical indexes were also detected.Statistical analysis was performed.Results (1) Serum 25 (OH) D3 level in T2DM group was low,but there was no significant difference between two groups((23.10 ± 1.59) μg/L vs.(23.11 ± 1.65) μg/L; t =0.064,P =0.949),as well as between men and women in the 2 populations (T2DM men vs.women(23.22 ± 1.54) μg/L vs.(22.95 ± 1.65) μg/L; t =0.209,P >0.05; NC men vs women(23.03 ± 1.73) μg/L vs.(23.18 ± 1.59) μg/L; t =0.436,P >0.05) ; (2)The prevalence of vitamin D insufficient and deficiency in T2DM group was high,but it was not statistically significant between two groups (98.0% vs.94.8 % and 2.0% vs.5.2% ; x2 =2.034,P =0.154) ; (3) Serum 25 (OH) D3 in T2DM group has a significant negative correlation with triglycerides (r =-0.218,P < 0.01).Conclusion (1) Vitamin D level was low in both the healthy and T2DM populations in the southern region of China,the prevalence of vitamin D insufficient and deficiency was up to 90%.(2)Triglyceride is the only independent risk factor to T2DM population.
