Objective To investigate the role of ephrin A genes in the development of oxygen-induced retinal neovascularization (OIR) in mice. Methods The OIR model was established by oxygen induction in new born C57BL/6J mice. Reversed transcript - polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to measure the expression levels of ephrin A1-A5 in retinas of mice in experimental and normal control group. Results All of the ephrin A family genes expressed in normal retinas. Ephrin A1 mRNA was significantly higher in OIR group (t= 3.19, P = 0. 019); ephrin A2 mRN A was higher in the 15-day-old OIR retinas (t= 3. 71,P=0. 033) ; ephrin A3-A5 mRNA decreased or disappeared in 12- and 13-day-old RNV mice, and increased in 15-day-old OIR mice. Conclusion Ephrin A genes are involved in the development of retina and OIR.

Objectives To construct reference range of fetal optic tract mean diameter and to report the measured optic tract mean diameter in fetuses with agenesis of the septum pellucidum (SP).Methods Three-dimensional volumes of the optic chiasm were acquired in 254 normal fetuses during routine sonographic examination at 21 ～ 40 weeks' gestation and the diameters of posterior left and right optic tracts were measured offline.A polynomial regression approach was used to calculate reference charts for the fetal optic tract mean diameter.In addition,16 three-dimensional volumes were acquired in fetuses with SP agenesis for offline measurement of optic tract diameter.The complete follow-up data were obtained in 7 of these 16 cases.Results In normal fetuses,the optic tract diameter increased linearly throughout gestation.Normal charts and equations were constructed.Among 7 fetuses with SP agenesis and complete follow-up,one had postnatal normal vision,two had hypoplastic optic tract,and four underwent termination of pregnancy.Three cases of normal childbirth were tested after the baby was born as a bundle of apparent dysplasia,including 1 case of neonatal characterized by lack of vision at the one year old and 2 cases of impaired vision.Four cases of termination of pregnancy included 1 case with tracking pathological confirmation of optic nerve hypoplasia,and the other 3 cases without tracking the pathological results.Conclusions We present new reference charts for fetal optic tract mean diameter.In fetuses with agenesis of the SP,sonography of the optic tract might be a useful tool to assess its development and may help prenatal counseling.

Background and purpose:The impact of the two factors of von Willnbrang factor(vWF) and integrin?3 on tumor metastasis has not been recognized. This study was done to investigate the expression of vWF and integrin?3 in human lung cancer cell line H460,the association between the two factors and tumor metastasis effect of vWF and integrin?3 on adhesion of human lung cancer cell line H460. Methods:The expression of vWF and integrin ?3 protein was examined by immunohistochemical staining. The impact of vWF and integrin?3 on adherent effect of tumor cells was evaluated by adhesion experiment, antibody inhibiting experiment and MTT.Results:Positive expression of vWF and integrin?3 was detected in H460 human lung cancer cells. H460 human lung cancer cells were able to adhere to vWF. Using anti-integrin?3, we observed that the ability of cell adhesion to vWF was inhibited,and A Value decreased from 1.59?0.06 to 0.55?0.03(P=0.01619). Using anti-vWF, we observed cell adhesion to vWF was inhibited too and A Value decreased from 1.60?0.06 to 0.54?0.03(P=0.01598),which had the same effect when using anti-integrin?3.Conclusions:H460 human lung cancer cells are capable of producing vWF, and vWF expression contributes to metastasis by adhering to cancer cells, integrin?3 is the vWF receptor on H460 human lung cancer cells.

Objective To analyze the MR imaging features of pyocephalus. Methods MR imaging features!of pyocephalus in 5 cases with clinically proved were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were undergone no-contrast MR imaging. 3 patients received diffusion weighted-imaging(DWI). Results In all five patients,the debris and pus with pus-fluid level were shown inside the lateral ventricle.The debris or pus was slightly hyperintense on T1WI, slightly hypointense on T2WI relative to cerebrospinal fulid(CSF). On DWI, the debris was hyperintense in 1 case and isointense in 2 cases.Conclusion The features of MR imaging of pyocephalus is specific. MR imaging is valuable in the diagnosis of pyocephalus.

OBJECTIVE To study the gene chip joint pyrosequencing technology in the newborn genetic deafness gene mutation screening, and provide a theoretical basis for the early diagnosis and prevention of genetic deafness. METHODS 2000 Neonatal EDTA umbilical cord blood was collected and genomic DNA (gDNA) was extracted. Microarray chip was used to detect four deafness gene at 9 mutation sites. And the positive result of gene chip detection was verified by pyrosequencing.RESULTS Among the GJB2 mutations, there were 1 case of 35delG mutation type, 3 cases of 176 del16 mutation type, 57 cases of 235del C mutation type, 9 cases of 299 del AT mutation type, 6 cases of GJB3 gene 538C>T mutation type. There were 5 cases of 1555A>G mutations and 1 case of 1494C>T mutations in mitochondrial 12S rRNA. There were 6 cases of 2168A>G mutation type and 23 cases of IVS7-2A>G mutations in SLC26A4. 103 cases of newborns carry the mutated gene in 2,000, the gene mutation rate is 5.15%. CONCLUSION All the four genes mutation at nine mutation sites are found in newborns with family history of non-hereditary deafness, and GJB2 gene mutation is common. The screening of genetic deafness in newborns is very important for early diagnosis and prevention of hereditary hearing loss. In particular, the diagnosis of mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene mutation can prevent the occurrence of deafness caused by drug use, for the genetic mutation of these carriers' health is of great significance.
