Background Phacoemulsification for hard nuclear cataract is easy to cause corneal edema and posterior capsular rupture.Researches determined that soft-shell technique phacoemulsification can effectively reduce corneal edema,but the risk of posterior capsular rupture during the surgery is still existed.Whether intra-capsular bag soft-shell technique can protect the posterior capsular of lens from rupture is still unclear.Objective This study was to observe the effect of intra-capsular bag soft-shell technique phacoemulsification on hard nuclear cataract.Methods A prospective cohort study was designed.One hundred and sixty-eight eyes of 160 patients with age-related cataract and Ⅳ-Ⅴ grade of nucleus were enrolled in Affiliated Second Hospital of Zhengzhou University from November 2013 to May 2015 under the approval of Ethic Commission and informed consent of the patients.The eyes were randomized into the intra-capsular soft-shell technique group and conventional soft-shell technique group with the matched age,gender and nuclear hardness in a manner of randomized block design.A 3.0 mm incision of cataract phacoemulsification with soft-shell technique in capsular bag was performed on 80 eyes of 78 patients in the intracapsular soft-shell technique group,and conventional soft-shell technique phacoemulsification was performed on 88 eyes of 82 patients in the conventional soft-shell technique group.Intraoperative records including the cumulative dissipated energy,effective phacoemulsification time and posterior capsular changes were recorded during the surgery.Postoperative follow-up indexes included corneal edema,endothelial cell density,BCVA and intraocular pressure changes.Results The mean cumulative dissipated energy and operation duration were (20.13 ± 8.34) % and (14.28-±2.17) minutes in the intra-capsular soft-shell technique group,and those in the conventional soft-shell technique group were (19.67±5.24)% and (15.36±3.49) minutes,showing significant differences between them (t =0.216,P =0.376;t =0.403,P-=0.518).Posterior capsular rupture occurred in 1 eye in the intra-capsular softshell technique group and 7 eyes in the conventional soft-shell technique group.The percentages of eyes with BCVA ≥ 0.5 were 78%,83% and 92% in postoperative 1 day,1 week and 1 month in the intra-capsular soft-shell technique group,and those in the conventional soft-shell technique group were 56%,71% and 89%,with a significant increase in postoperative 1 day,1 week in the intra-capsular soft-shell technique group (x2 =5.130,P =0.027;x2 =4.361,P =0.032).The corneal endothelial cell loss rates were 6.97% and 7.19% in the intra-capsular soft-shell technique group and conventional soft-shell technique group respectively in postoperative 3 months,with no significant difference between them (P>0.05).The intraocular pressure was (20.16±4.23) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) in postoperative 1 day in the intra-capsular soft-shell technique group,which was significantly higher than (17.38± 5.21) mmHg in the conventional soft-shell technique group (t =1.241,P =0.037).Conclusions Intra-capsular bag soft-shell technique phacoemulsification for hard nuclear cataract can decrease the intraoperative and postoperative complications and quicken the visual recovery after surgery.

Journal of Practical Stomatology 2001;0(01):-
Objective:To study the effect of compressive stress on expression of connective tissue growth factor(CTGF) in rabbit mandibular condylar chondrocytes in vitro. Methods:CTGF mRNA were determined by semiquantitative RT-PCR in rabbit mandibular condylar chondrocytes cultured in vitro. Results:Within a certain compressive stress, CTGF mRNA were up-regulated with the increase of compressive stress. While under certain compressive stress, CTGF mRNA were gradually up-regulated following the increase of culturing time, and reaching the maximum at 2~6 h, then gradually down-regulated until at 24 h. Conclusion:Application of different compressive stresses can up-regulate the expression of CTGF mRNA in rabbit mandibular condylar chondrocytes. It may be involved in the stress -mediated mandibular condylar cartilage remodeling.

Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University(Medical Sciences) 1981;0(02):-
Objective To evaluate the relationship between fragile histidine triad(FHIT) transcription abnormalities and HPV16 infection and human cervical tumorigenesis.Methods Total RNA from 5 cervical carcinoma cell lines(SiHa,HeLa,RJC-1,CS1213 and C4-1),58 primary cervical cancer specimens and 18 normal cervical epithelial tissues were extracted and FHIT transcripts were characterized by a two-step(nested) reverse transcription(RT)-PCR.The seven of the PCR products with different size were purified and sequenced.HPV16 infection was assessed by PCR.Results ① There were altered FHIT transcripts in SiHa,HeLa and C4-1 cells.Aberrant FHIT transcripts were detected in 39 out of the 58 cervical cancer samples(67.2%),but none out of 18 in the normal cervix tissue specimens(0%);HPV16 infections were identified in 37 of the 58 cervical cancer tissues(63.8%),but 1 in the 18 normal cervical epithelial tissues(5%),which showed a significant difference between these two groups(P0.05).③ The exon 5 and exon 6 were mainly deleted in the altered FHIT transcripts and no insertion and point mutation were found by DNA sequencing.Conclusion Aberrant FHIT expression was significantly common in cervical cancers and was correlated with HPV16 infection.These findings suggest that the tumor suppressor gene FHIT and high risk HPV16 may play a very important role in human cervical carcinogenesis.

There is mounting evidence that vascular pathology plays a role in the initiation and/or progression of the major disease of joints: osteoarthritis(OA).Potential mechanisms are:episodically reduced blood flow through the small vessels in the subchondral bone at the ends of long bones,and related to this,reduced interstitial fluid flow in subchondral bone and compromised nutrient and gas exchange into the articular cartilage,a potential initiator of degradation changes in the cartilage.The second is apoptosis of osteocytes in regions of the subchondral bone,which would initiate osteoclastic resorption of that bone and at least temporarily reduce the bony support for the overlying cartilage.It may be important to recognize these potential aetiological factors in order to develop more effective treatments to inhibit the progression of OA.
