Objective To study the effect of total flavonoids of Pollen Typhae on the autophagy of macro-phages and its effect on Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Methods To observe the effect of serum containing drugs on the proliferation of SD rats. The serum containing 20%of the drug-containing serum and the macrophages were selected by the method of MMT. Interleukin(IL-10),interferon-γ(IFN-γ)and autophagy-related genes Akt and mTOR mRNA and protein were detected. Results There was no significant difference between the OD value of TYTF serum in the concentration range of 10% ~ 40% and so as the OD value of normal control(P > 0.05). The expression of autophagosomes in each dose group of TYTF was significantly increased under TEM. The autophagic expression was not typical in the normal control group. The expression of Beclin1 protein in TYTF group was signifi-cantly higher than that in normal control group(P<0.05),while the expression of p-Akt and p-mTOR protein was significantly lower than that of normal control group(P<0.05). Akt and mTOR protein expression compared with the normal control group was not significantly different (P > 0.05). The expression of Beclin1 mRNA in TYTF group was significantly higher than that in normal control group (P < 0.05),while the expression of Akt and mTOR mRNA was significantly lower than that of normal control group (P < 0.05). The expression of IL-10 in TYTF group was significantly higher than that in normal control group (P < 0.05). The expression of IFN-γ was significantly lower than that of normal control group(P<0.05). Conclusions The total flavonoid serum has anti-atherosclerotic effect. The mechanism may be related to inhibition of the activation of Akt/mTOR signaling path-way,including macrophage autophagy activity induction ,plaque macrophage infiltration reduction and inflamma-tory response factors secretion inhibition ,inflammatory response activities inhibition. Thereby it can promote atherosclerosis plaque stability of the purpose of vulnerability.

AIM:To investigate the differences among Lenstar 900, A-scan ultrasound and keratometer in measurement of axial length ( AL ) , anterior chamber depth ( ACD ) and corneal curvature ( K1 , K2 , Km ) , and evaluate the consistency of the instruments, with the purpose providing references for the clinical application of Lenstar 900.
METHODS: In this study we picked up 36 patients ( 50 eyes ) underwent cataract surgery, and lens nucleus hardness were under level IV. Before the operation, AL, ACD and K1 , K2 , Km were measured by Lenstar 900, A-scan ultrasound and keratometer respectively. The differences between the results were compared by the paired t-test. The correlation of the results was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis, and the consistency was measured by Bland-Ahamn method.
RESULTS: The mean AL and ACD values measured by Lenstar 900 and A-scan ultrasound had no significantly statistic differences (P>0. 05). The K1, K2, Km measured by Lenstar 900 and keratometer were not significantly statistical different (P>0. 05). The results measured by these three instruments had close linearity correlation ( r>0.9, P<0. 01). The consistency of the results was well in Bland-Ahamn analysis.
CONCLUSION:The preoperatively biometric result of Lenstar 900, A - scan ultrasound and keratometer in patients with cataract are all reliable, and they can be substituted by each other. However, Lenstar 900 can not only measure AL, ACD and corneal curvature at the same time, but also cornal thickness, lens thickness, white to white, pupil size, optical axis eccentricity, retinal thickness and so on. It has a number of advantages such as non-touching, convenient and efficient, and can be recommended to use widely.
