OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of quercetin on Hedgehog (Hh) signaling in chronic myeloid leukemia KBM7 cells.
METHODSThe KBM7 cells were treated with 50, 100 and 200 μmol/L quercetin for 48 h respectively. And then the trypan blue assay was used to examine the proliferative inhibition of quercetin. Apoptotic cells and cell cycle were measured by flow cytometry. The mRNA and protein expression were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blot, respectively.
RESULTSQuercetin significantly inhibited KBM7 cell proliferation, induced cell apoptosis, and blocked cell cycle at G1 phase, which were in dose-dependent manners. The mRNA and protein expression of Smoothened and Glioma1 (Gli1), the members of Hh pathway decreased after treatment with quercetin. The Bcl-2 and Cyclin D1, targets of Hh signaling, also decreased after treatment with quercetin, respectively. Quercetin also could increase p53 and Caspase-3 expression. Bcr-abl mRNA copies decreased, but no changes of phosphorylated Bcr-abl and Bcr-abl proteins were observed, after treatment with quercetin.
CONCLUSIONQuercetin could inhibit Hh signaling and its downstream targets in the KBM7 cells. And it might be one of mechanisms of inducing apoptosis and inhibiting cell cycle by quercetin.

AIM: To observe the tear film changes after phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation in age - related cataract patients and to compare the therapeutic effect of hydroxyl-glucoside and sodium hyaluronate on the postoperative dry eye.
METHODS:A total of 49 patients ( 70 eyes ) with age-related cataract suffering from dry eye after phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation were divided into treatment group 1 ( group A, 23 eyes with conventional therapy and hydroxyl - glucoside at 7d postoperatively) , treatment group 2 ( group B, 22 eyes with conventional therapy and sodium hyaluronate at 7d postoperatively) and control group ( group C, 25 eyes with conventional therapy only ) . Questionnaire score of dry eye symptoms, SchirmerⅠtest ( SⅠt) , tearfilm break up time ( BUT ) and corneal fluoresce in staining ( CFS ) were measured at 2d preoperatively and 7, 14, 30, 90d postoperatively.
RESULTS: No statistical differences existed among the three groups of preoperative 2d ( P > 0. 05 ). At 2d preoperatively and 90d postoperatively, the results of questionnaire score of dry eye symptoms, SⅠt, BUT, and CFS displayed no statistical differences in the patients of three groups (P>0. 05). While there was statistical significance among preoperatively and 7, 14, 30d postoperatively of the three groups (P<0. 05). At 14, 30d postoperatively, the questionnaire score of dry eye symptoms, SⅠt, BUT, CFS in group A and B were better than in group C, which displayed statistical differences ( P<0. 05). At 30d postoperatively the questionnaire score of dry eye symptoms , SⅠt, BUT in group B were better than in group A, which displayed statistical differences ( P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: At the early stage after phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation, the tear film stability is decreased, which may promote eyesymptoms. Management with hydroxyl-glucoside or sodium hyaluronate plays a role in relief of the structure and stability of the tear film and improves dry eye symptoms, while sodium hyaluronate eye drops is more effective.
