Objective:To analyze the morphological changes and features of meibomian gland in patients with meibomian gland cyst under in vivo confocal microscope (IVCM). Methods:A cross-sectional study was performed.A total of 34 patients (34 eyes) with meibomian gland cysts and 18 control subjects (18 eyes) in the outpatient department without meibomian gland cysts treated in Shantou International Eye Center from September 2018 to April 2019 were included into the meibomian gland cyst group and control group accordingly.All the subjects underwent routine ophthalmologic examination and IVCM examination.IVCM test indicators included the opening area of meibomian gland, the longest diameter and the shortest diameter of meibomian gland opening, the morphology of glandular tube and acinus adjacent to the meibomian gland opening.The measurement indexes of the meibomian gland cyst group and the control group were compared and analyzed.This study followed the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Joint Shantou International Eye Center of Shantou University and The Chinese University of Hong Kong (No.EC20171103[6]-P01). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before examination.Results:The opening of the meibomian glands of the 34 subjects in the meibomian gland cyst group were all enlarged irregularly with smooth boundaries, and emboli in the openings were observed in 70.59% (24/34) of patients.The longest diameter, the shortest diameter and the area of meibomian gland openings were (148.12±70.16)μm, (114.77±52.38)μm and 9 239.11(5 506.96, 24 111.36)μm 2 in the meibomian gland cyst group, respectively, while (59.35±16.78)μm, (41.98±11.77)μm and 2 094.19 (1 432.28, 2 945.65)μm 2 in the control group, respectively.Compared with the control group, the longest diameter and shortest diameter in the meibomian cyst group were longer, and the area of meibomian gland openings in the meibomian cyst group was larger, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.01). Adjacent to the opening, there was cystic dilation of glandular tube containing accumulated secretion of different characteristics detected in the 61.76% (21/34) of patients in the meibomian gland cyst group, and the dilated glandular tubes were with flat edges.The boundaries between the dilated glandular tubes and surrounding acini were clear. Conclusions:In vivo confocal microscope can detect the morphological changes of meibomian glands in patients with meibomian gland cyst, including enlarged opening with embolus, cystic dilation of glandular tube with clear boundary and accumulated secretion.

Medical intervention is to make use of puncture and catheterization technique for the diagnosis and treatment, relying on the guidance of medical imaging equipment. It is also a new medical branch which is independent of internal medicine and surgery. It is officially named the third largest medical technology. Interventional therapy contains blood vessel intervention and non-vessel intervention. The operation of the catheter and thread in the vessel is the key part of vessel intervention. By comparison it is found that the operation of catheter and thread in the blood vessel is similar to that of the string in the wellbore. Tubular mechanics in oil-gas wells is a mature theoretical mechanics system in the field of Petroleum Engineering. In this paper, the tension-torque model of the tubular mechanics in oil-gas wells is introduced, and the operation of catheter in a simulative vessel is mechanically analyzed with the software of mechanical analysis of drill string in directional wells.

Enrichment of trace bioactive constituents and metabolites from complex biological samples is chal-lenging. This study presented a one-pot synthesis of magnetic polydopamine nanoparticles (Fe3O4@-SiO2@PDA NPs) with multiple recognition sites for the magnetic dispersive solid-phase extraction (MDSPE) of ginsenosides from rat plasma treated with white ginseng. The extracted ginsenosides were characterized by combining an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to a high-resolution mass spectrometry with supplemental UNIFI libraries. Response surface methodology was statistically used to optimize the extraction procedure of the ginsenosides. The reusability of Fe3O4@-SiO2@PDA NPs was also examined and the results showed that the recovery rate exceeded 80% after recycling 6 times. Furthermore, the proposed method showed greater enrichment efficiency and could rapidly determine and characterize 23 ginsenoside prototypes and metabolites from plasma. In com-parison, conventional methanol method can only detect 8 ginsenosides from the same plasma samples. The proposed approach can provide methodological reference for the trace determination and charac-terization of different bioactive ingredients and metabolites of traditional Chinese medicines and food.

Objective To study the role of microRNA(miR)-483-3p in reducing myocardial fibrosis in rats,and explore the relationship between its mechanism and autophagy.Methods A total of 24 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,blank transfec-tion group and high expression group,with 6 rats in each group.The blank transfection group and the high-expression group were pretreated with a single injection of adeno-associated virus(AAV)-blank transfection and AAV-miR-483-3p(5×1011 vg)in the tail vein,respectively.In 14 d later,the sham group was injected with 2.5 ml/(kg·d)normal saline for 14 d,and rat model of myocardial fibrosis was established by 2 mg/ml isoproterenol[2.5 ml/(kg·d)]injection through tail vein for 14 consecutive days.Myocardial pathological damage,severity of myocardial fibrosis,and expression levels of collagen-Ⅰ,microtubule-associated protein light chain 3(LC3),autoph-agy-related protein 5(Atg5)and autophagy degradation substrate(P62)in cardiomyocytes were evaluated and measured.Results Compared with the sham operation group,the model group had obviously larger myocardial fibrosis area,higher positive expression of Collagen-Ⅰ,and increased protein levels of Atg5 and LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ,and decreased expression level of P62 protein(P<0.05).The myocardial fibrosis area,positive expression of Collagen-Ⅰ,the expression levels of Atg5 and LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ protein[(13.64±1.51)%vs(27.47±1.55)%,(13.48±3.07)%vs(30.91±2.45)%,0.98±0.17 vs 1.24±0.28,0.66±0.05 vs 1.26±0.09,P<0.05]were significant-ly decreased,and the expression level of P62 was notably increased(0.91±0.11 vs 0.74±0.06,P<0.05)in the high expression group than the model group.Conclusion MiR-483-3p attenuates myocardial fibrosis in rats,and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of cardiomyocyte autophagy.
