AIM: To know the psychological conditions of various cataract patients in pre- and post-operative periods.METHODS: From June 2008 to June 2009, 278 cataract patients had been asked to complete a questionnaire anonymously of their self-evaluation of symptoms scale (SCL) before and after operation. In their pre-operative and post-operative surveys, the results were compared with the norms respectively. Patients were divided into two groups. Group A were age-related cataract patients; while Group B were cataract patients with glaucoma, trauma or metabolic disease.RESULTS: When cataract patients' masculine scores of somatization, depression, anxiety and fear factors before and after the operation rank higher than the norms, the differences had statistical significance(P<0.05), especially the somatization factor(P<0.01).While cataract patients with diseases such as glaucoma, trauma or diabetes got higher marks than age-related cataract patients in the aspects of anxiety, somatization, depression (P<0.05), and fear factors, the differences were of statistical significance(P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Cataract patients both in pre- and post- and operative periods have somatization behaviors and emotions of depression, anxiety and fear. Cataract patients with glaucoma, trauma or diabetes especially anxiety have more obvious symptoms than age-related cataract patients.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of CD44 on drug resistance of breast cancer patients. METHODS:62 breast cancer patients were selected,and the expression of CD44 was detected by immunohistochemical method. Drug resistance was eval-uated by WHO criteria,and the expression of CD44 in breast tissue was observed after observation. RESULTS:There were 48 pa-tients sensitive to CD44 and 14 patients with drug resistance,with statistical significance(P<0.05). After chemotherapy,the ex-pression of CD44 in caner tissue was higher than before chemotherapy,that of patients with drug resistance was higher than pa-tients sensitive to CD44,with statistical significance(P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:CD44 antigen is closely related to chemothera-py resistance of breast cancer,and high expression of CD44 can be used as an important indicator for breast cancer chemotherapy.

Objective To breed homozygous mice of Treg-Th17 fluorescence double labeling and to investigate the role of Treg-Th17 balance in endotoxemia. Methods Mice of Treg and Th17 fluorescence single labeling were brought from Harvard Medical School,USA and were mated and bred based on the genetic rules.The genomic DNA was extracted from the tails of second generation weaning mice for genotyping by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Thereafter,the homozygous mice of fluorescence double labeling were selected to have successive inbreeding for three generations and their genotypes and growth status were measured.The endotoxemia model in vivo was duplicated and changes of Treg-Th17 balance were detected by flow cytometry analysis at 24 h and 48 h after endotoxemia. Results Among the seven second generation mice in the first batch,only three (two males and one female) were the wanted homozygotes.Meanwhile,the genotypes of their offsprings for the next three generations were all Foxp3 RFPKI-homo IL-17A GFPKI with normal growing status.As important component of endotoxin,lipopolysaccharide (LPS)could induce significant signal expressions of red fluorescence protein (RFP) and green fluorescence protein (GFP).The ratio of CD8a + Foxp3 +,CD8a + IL-17A +,CD4 + Foxp3 + and CD4 + IL-17A + in the lymphocytes went up significantly in the group of 24 hours of LPS treatment,as compared with the control group (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05 ),while the difference between the control group and the group of 48hours of LPS treatment had no statistical significance (P > 0.05). Conclusion Foxp3 RFPKI-homoIL-17A GFPKI mice have identical genotypes and stable genetic characteristics and is a model animal and novel research platform that can provide real-time monitoring of the changes of Treg-Th17 balance in vivo.The role of T reg-Th17 balance works significantly at 48 hous after the subject is exposed to LPS stimulation,and the roles of CD8a + Foxp3 and CD8a + IL-17A + in Treg-Th17 balance require further investigation.
