The initial and last postoperative refractive errors were compared. The mean myopic shift was -0.89±0.40 (3~5 years group ) and -0.97± 0.l8 (6~ l0 years N) The difference between two groups was not significantly different(t=0.2l, P>0.05 ) .The myopic shift was less than l.5re in 91.6W of the w. 83.32 of the eyes achieved a visual acuity of 0.5 or better in their pseudosphakic eyes. Undercorrecting most children 3 to 10 years of ag e by 1.00D from the IOL power predicted to achieve emmtropia.

Objective To explore the possibility of heterogenous gene to express in juvenile Schistosoma japonicum and the application of electroporation in transformation of schistosomulae. Methods The plasmids of pEGFP-C1 were introduced into mechanically transformed schsitosomula with electroporation. The presence, transcription and translation of the transgene in electroporated schistosomula were confirmed by PCR, RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis respectively using the genomic DNA, total RNA and protein extracted and isolated from schistosomula cultured in vitro for 48 hours. Meanwhile, localization of EGFP within electroporated schistosomula was performed with confocal laser scanning microscope. Results 760 bp and 276 bp amplified products by PCR and RT-PCR were found coincident with the expected size and expression of EGFP gene in elctroporated schistosomula was confirmed by Western blotting. Fluorescence of EGFP was localized in tegument and subtegument of the electroporated schistosomula with confocal microscopy, especially in the anterior part of the worm. Conclusion The heterogenous gene of EGFP has been successfully introduced into juvenile S. japonicum by electroporation and the expression of transgene was confirmed with molecular and microscopical methods.

Objective To evaluate changes in retinal expression of three heat shock proteins(HSPs)HSP27,HSP70 and HSP90 in normal and experimental glaucomatous rats's retina,and to explore the potential relationship between HSPs with glaucoma optic neuropathy.Design Experimental study.Participants 60 Wistar rats.Methods Rats were randomly divided into ocular hypertension group(n=30)and sham control group(n=30).The right eye was designed as the experimental eye,and the left as the control eyes.Intraocular pressure(IOP)was elevated by using underwater bipolar electro coagulation condensate 3 episcleral and limbal veins on the right eye of rats to establish of animal models of glaucoma.IOP were monitored twice weekly with a Tonopen.In treated eyes,IOP ranged from 27 to 35 mmHg throughout the study.Rats were killed with euthanasia at 10,20,or 60 days following the occurrence of ocular hypertension,with retina dissected free and protein isolated.Protein was used for Western blot analysis and probed with specific HSP antibodies,and normalized to ?-actin levels.Main Outcome Measures IOP,Western bolt.Results Western blot analysis demonstrated that HSP27 protein levels in the retinas were elevated as much as 197% at 10,20 and 60 days following the induction of ocular hypertension.No changes in protein levels were observed for HSP70 or HSP90 in retina from ocular hypertensive eyes.Conclusions The stress protein HSP27 is upregulated in retinas from ocular hypertensive rats.No changes in HSP70 or HSP90 were observed.The upregulation in HSP27 appears to be a gene specific event associated with elevated IOP,its expression may be a potential relationship associated with optic neuropathy in glaucoma.

In the quality control of Chinese medicine, the detection of active components and toxic and harmful components are two important links. Although conventional methods such as high performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry can accurately quantify the above substances, they have shortcomings such as complicated operation, high costs, inability of detection at any time, difficult detection of insoluble and macromolecular substances. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can adsorb antigens or antibodies on the surface of solid carriers and realize qualitative or quantitative analysis of targets by using the specific reactions of antigens and antibodies. This method is praised for the simple operation, high sensitivity, strong specificity, simple requirements for experimental equipment, a wide application range, and low costs. In recent years, ELISA has been widely used in the quality control of Chinese medicine, especially in the content determination of mycotoxins represented by aflatoxin and the qualitative and quantitative analysis of active components. ELISA plays an increasingly important role with its unique advantages, providing new methods and ideas for the rapid quality examination of large quantities of Chinese medicines. This paper reviews the research progress in ELISA for the quality control of Chinese medicine in recent years and prospects its technical development and application prospects, aiming to provide reference and research ideas for further using this method to ensure the quality, safety, and controllability of Chinese medicine.

ObjectiveTo establish an allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method for identifying Scolopendra dispensing granules, so as to ensure the quality and therapeutic effects of Scolopendra and its preparations. MethodThe primer interval suitable for the PCR was selected based on the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 3(COX-3) gene sequence of Scolopendra, and the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci of Scolopendra and its adulterants were mined from the interval for the design of specific primers. The samples of Scolopendra and its adulterants were collected. The PCR system was established and optimized regarding the annealing temperature, cycles, Taq enzymes, DNA template amount, PCR instruments, and primer concentrations, and the specificity and applicability of this method were evaluated. ResultThe PCR system was composed of 12.5 μL 2×M5 PCR Mix, 0.4 μL forward primer (10 μmol·L-1), 0.4 μL reverse primer (10 μmol·L-1), 2.5 μL DNA template, and 9.2 μL sterile double distilled water. PCR parameters: Pre-denaturation at 94 ℃ for 3 min, 30 cycles (94 ℃ for 20 s, 62 ℃ for 20 s, 72 ℃ for 45 s), and extension at 72 ℃ for 5 min. After PCR amplification with the system and parameters above, the electrophoresis revealed a bright band at about 135 bp for Scolopendra and no band for the adulterants. ConclusionThe established allele-specific PCR method can accurately identify the medicinal materials, decoction pieces, and standard decoction freeze-dried powder of Scolopendra, as well as the intermediates and final products of Scolopendra dispensing granules, which is of great significance for ensuring the quality and clinical efficacy of Scolopendra and its preparations.
