Background Whether negative suction during excimer laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK) affect the structure and function of retina or not is in controversy,but it seems that temporary hypertention induced by negative suction is a key factor of impairment of retina in LASIK.ObjectiveThis study attempts to study the influence of transient high intraocular pressure (IOP) during LASIK on the contents of retinal amino acid.MethodsThe both eyes of 45 New Zealand white rabbits were suctioned for different periods (20s,45s,3min) with negative pressure generator during the LASIK to make the instantaneous high IOP models,and LASIK without negative suction was performed in the both eyes of 15 rabbits in the control group.The changes of the contents of retinal amino acids were evaluated with High Performance Liquid Chromatography(HPLC) at 0,7,10,14 and 28 days postoperatively and compared with those of control group.ResultsThere were no statistically significant differences in the contents of retinal amino acids among different time points after operation in negative suction for 20s group and 45s group,respectively(P＞0.05).At negative suction for 3minuts,the content of glutamic acid in retina was significantly increased in comparison with control group in 7,10,14 and 28 days (P＜0.05),and no statistically significant difference was seen in the contents of glutamic acid at postoperative instant group compared with control group(P＞0.05).A statistically significant difference in the contents of glutamine,tryptophan,phenylalanine was revealed among postoperative 10 days,14 days and 28 days groups comparison with control group (P＜0.05).ConclusionThe acute IOP elevation caused by negative suction during LASIK results in the reversible increase of retinal amino acids.The duration of negative suction time influent the reconstruction of retinal structure.

Objective To evaluate the value of electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) angiography and three-dimensional reconstruction in the diagnosis of aortic aneurysm.Methods 31 patients(24 male,7 female) with aortic aneurysm were performed scanning by EBCT . The scanning methods were contrast enhanced single slice volume scanning(SVS) and continuous volume scan(CVS); the 3D reconstruction methods were multiple planar reconstruction (MPR), maximum intensity projection(MIP), shaded surface display(SSD) and volume rendering(VR).Results Of 31 aortic disease, 7 cases were aortic aneurysm, 19 cases were aortic dissection and 5 cases pseudoaneurysm. 9 patients were performed operation and the diagnosis of EBCT coincided well with the operative findings in all cases. Conclusion EBCT angiography can obtain high quality images. EBCT angiographic findings and 3D imagings are in helpful accurate diagnosis and direct surgical operation. The 3D images can directly show the shape and range of aortic aneurysm and the tears of the dissection of pseudoaneurysm. It may substitute conventional aortic angiography in the diagnosis of aortic disease.

Objective To study the expression of Gult-1 in cervical adenocarcinoma and prognosis analysis.Methods Gult-1 was detected by immunohistochemistry (EnVision) in cervical adenocarcinoma and cancer adjacent tissue.Results In cancer adjacent tissue and cervical adenocarcinoma,the positive rates of Gult-1 were 2.22 ％ (1/45),58.67 ％ (44/75),respectively,and there was statistical significance between them (x2 =38.23,P =0.00).The expression of Gult-1 was not correlated to age,histological classification and infiltrated depth (all P ＞ 0.05).However,it was correlated to tumor size,histological grade and lymphatic nodes metastasis (all P ＜ 0.05).The survival rate of positive Gult-1 patients was lower than negative Gult-1 patients (x 2 =4.27,P =0.04).Conclusion The over-expression of Guh-1 in cervical adenocarcinoma indicates poorly differentiated cancer,the possibility of lymphatic nodes metastasis and unfavourable prognosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of nasobiliary cholangiography in the diagnosis of residual common bile duct stones after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and the risk factors for residual stones. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of the patients who underwent ERCP and nasobiliary cholangiography after endoscopic nasobiliary drainage in Peking University First Hospital from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups, and a logistic regression analysis was used to investigate independent risk factors for residual stones. ResultsA total of 366 patients underwent ERCP and nasobiliary cholangiography and 27 patients were suspected to have residual stones, among whom 25 had residual stones confirmed by ERCP. The rate of residual stones after ERCP was 6.8% (25/366), and nasobiliary cholangiography had a positive predictive value of 92.6% (25/27) in predicting residual common bile duct stones. The univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences between the two groups in multiple stones, common bile duct diameter ≥1.5 cm, and mechanical lithotripsy (χ2=5014, 7.651, and 9.670, all P＜0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that multiple stones (odds ratio ［OR］=2713, 95% confidence interval ［CI］: 1.002-7.345, P=0.049) and mechanical lithotripsy (OR=9.183, 95% CI: 2.347-35.925, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for residual stones. ConclusionPost-ERCP nasobiliary cholangiography is an effective method to detect residual common bile duct stones. Multiple stones and mechanical lithotripsy during ERCP are independent risk factors for residual stones.

Aim To investigate the effect of curcumin against high-fat-diet induced C57BL/6J mice bone changes and the correlation between the expression of cathepsin K and curcumin.Methods Curcumin treated C57BL/6J mice had been on high fat diet for 12 weeks.The HE, Alizarin red S staining and Safranin O/fast green staining of femur were employed to evaluate bone microstructure, bone metabolism and bone development.The expressions of cathepsin K were assessed by Western blot and immunohistochemical staining.Results Histopathological results showed that curcumin could improve the destruction of trabecular bone structure, cartilage development and bone calcification.Biomechanical results proved that curcumin could improve the bone strength of the type 2 diabetic mice induced by high fat.The results of immunohistochemistry and Western blot assay indicated that curcumin could significantly inhibit the expression of cathepsin K in bone tissues of mice.Conclusion Curcumin can increase bone strength, improve bone microstructure, and enhance the degree of bone calcification, which may be achieved by inhibiting the expression of cathepsin K.

Objective To study the effect of target rehabilitation diary in elderly patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods One hundred patients who received unilateral first TKA (no patella) were numbered according to the order of admission time, according to random digit table, 50 cases in the control group and the intervention group. Conventional treatment methods were given to both two groups, the control group received routine care measures and health education, the intervention group was given target rehabilitation diary for self- management based on the conventional health education. The differences in American Knee Society Knee Score (KSS), self- management and self- efficacy were compared between the two groups. Results The KSS was (75.50 ± 6.90) points in the intervention group and (71.90 ± 7.20) points in the control group on the first week after operation, the difference was statistically significant (t=2.553, P<0.05). On the twelfth week of intervention, KSS was (85.86 ± 2.80) points in the intervention group and (80.88 ± 2.20) points in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (t=9.880, P<0.01). Self-efficacy and self-management on the twelfth week were (47.22 ± 3.34) and (54.55 ± 2.66) points in the intervention group, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (34.24 ± 4.11) and (42.54 ± 3.76) points, the difference was statistically significant (t=17.33, 18.43, P<0.01). Conclusions The target rehabilitation diary plays a good role in the self-management of elderly patients with TKA.

Mechanosensitive ion channels (MSCs) are key molecules in the mechano-electrical transduction of arterial baroreceptors. Among them, acid-sensing ion channel 2 (ASIC2) and transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily member 1 (TRPV1) have been studied extensively and documented to play important roles. In this study, experiments using aortic arch–aortic nerve preparations isolated from rats revealed that both ASIC2 and TRPV1 are functionally necessary, as blocking either abrogated nearly all pressure-dependent neural discharge. However, whether ASIC2 and TRPV1 work in coordination remained unclear. So we carried out cell-attached patch-clamp recordings in HEK293T cells co-expressing ASIC2 and TRPV1 and found that inhibition of ASIC2 completely blocked stretch-activated currents while inhibition of TRPV1 only partially blocked these currents. Immunofluorescence staining of aortic arch–aortic adventitia from rats showed that ASIC2 and TRPV1 are co-localized in the aortic nerve endings, and co-immunoprecipitation assays confirmed that the two proteins form a compact complex in HEK293T cells and in baroreceptors. Moreover, protein modeling analysis, exogenous co-immunoprecipitation assays, and biotin pull-down assays indicated that ASIC2 and TRPV1 interact directly. In summary, our research suggests that ASIC2 and TRPV1 form a compact complex and function synergistically in the mechano-electrical transduction of arterial baroreceptors. The model of synergism between MSCs may have important biological significance beyond ASIC2 and TRPV1.
