AIM: To test the intraocular pressures and some biological parameters of Uyghur and Han healthy college students whose eyes are emmetropia, and to conduct comparisons between the two races, two genders, and the right and left eyes whether there is a difference between the two races.
●METHODS:Cross-sectional study. The vision of college students who reach the clinic with visual chart were tested; the keratorefractive power with an automatic refractor was tested; the eyes with slit lamp and ophthalmoscope were tested. The intraocular pressures of 405 cases ( 810 eyes in total ) with an automatic non-contact tonometer were tested; The anterior chamber depths, lens thicknesses, vitreous cavity lengths and axial lengths with an A/B - type ultrasound diagnostic equipment were tested; The intraocular pressures and some biological parameters of the two races, two genders, same genders of different races, and the right and left eyes were compared.
●RESULTS: The differences between Uyghur and Han college students in intraocular pressure, anterior depth, lens thickness, vitreous cavity length and axial length were statistically significant ( P<0. 05 ). The difference between Uyghur male college students and Uyghur female college students in anterior depth, axial length, keratorefractive power were statistically significant ( P<0. 05). The difference between Han male college students and Han female college students in axial length, keratorefractive power were statistically significant ( P<0. 05). The difference between the right and left eyes was statistically insignificant ( P > 0. 05 ). The differences between Uyghur male college students and Han male college students in intraocular pressure, anterior depth, vitreous cavity length, axial length and lens thickness were statistically significant (P<0. 05). The differences between Uyghur female college students and Han female college students in intraocular pressure, anterior depth and axial length were statistically significant (P<0. 05).
● CONCLUSION: Compared with Uyghur college students, Han college students are higher in intraocular pressure, deeper in anterior depth, longer in vitreous cavity length and axial length, and thinner in lens thickness. Compared with female college students of same race, the male college students are longer in axial length and smaller in keratorefractive power. Moreover, Uyghur male college students are deeper than Uyghur female college students in anterior depth. Compared with Uyghur male college students, Han male college students are higher in intraocular pressure, deeper in anterior depth, longer in vitreous cavity length and axial length, and thinner in lens thickness. Compared with Uyghur female college students, Han female college students are higher in intraocular pressure, deeper in anterior depth, and longer in axial length. There is no difference between the right and left eyes.

A simple and efficient method, based on ultrasound-assisted polymer surfactant-enhanced emulsification microextraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry( GC-MS) , was developed for the determination of eight aromatic amines ( AAs ) in aqueous sample. The main parameters affecting the performance of the purposed method were optimized, and the optimized conditions were obtained as follows:150 μL of extractive solvent ( dichloroethane ) , polymer surfactant ( sodium alginate ) concentraction of 0. 20 g/L, pH 7. 0, salt addition of 3%, and ultrasound time of 1 min. Under the optimal conditions, the linear ranges of the method were 0. 1-200 μg/L for 3,3’-dichlorobenzidine, 0. 3-200 μg/L for 2,4,5-trimethylaniline, 4-chloro-o-toluidine, 3,3’-dimethyl-4,4’-diaminodiphenylmethane, 3,3’-dimethylbenzidine and 4 , 4’-methylene-bis-( 2-chloroaniline ) , 0 . 5-200 μg/L for 4-aminoazobenzene and 3 , 3’-dimethoxy-benzidine. The correlation coefficients (R2) and the detection limits were 0. 9961-0. 9997 μg/L and 0. 08-0. 3 μg/L, respectively. The intra- and inter-day RSDs were less than 10. 6% and 11. 0%. The purposed method could be applied to the analysis of AAs in water sample collected from tap water and river water. In comparison with the common SA-USAEME, conventional surfactant was replaced with water-soluble polymer surfactant to solve the problems of potential pollution, and the polymer surfactant was natural and insoluble in extractive solvent. Compared with other solid-phase extractions, the proposed method had the advantages such as simple operation and low cost.

The rabbit enteropathogenic E. coli (rEPEC) strain RDEC-1 possesses a lifA homologue adjacent to the LEE pathogenicity island. To study the entire nucleotide sequence and biological function of lifA,the DNA sequence and biological function of RDEC-1 lifA were analysed with gene cloning,gene knock-out and in vivo virulence examination. The result showed that the entire coding sequence of the lifA of RDEC-1 shares nearly absolute homology with the lifA of human isolates. RDEC-1 lifA inhibited IL-2 expression in stimulated rabbit peripheral blood mononuclear cells. We further demonstrated significant reduction in fecal bacterial shedding by RDEC-1 derivative lifA mutant when compared with its parent strain. In a competitive study when rabbits were inoculated with a combination of the WT and the mutant, the WT was the predominant bacteria recovered from fecal samples, while fewer mutant bacteria were recovered. However,the lifA mutant is able to induce A/E type of lesions as efficient as the parent strain. The data provide direct evidence that lifA of rEPEC plays a role in immunomodulation and in in vivo colonization in the intestinal tract.
