AIM: To investigate the potential causes and management of the clusters of diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) after laser corneal refractive surgery.METHODS: The study enrolled 98 eyes (53 patients) complicated with DLK after receiving laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), FS-LASIK or small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) in our center from February 10th,2016 to February 22th,2016.They were given clinical classification treatments according to corneal layer inflammatory extent and then followed up after 1, 3, 5, 7, 10d and 1mo.RESULTS: The clusters of DLK occurred 5 times in the study period.The incidence and degree of DLK significantly decreased after changed the sterilization, surgical equipments, temperature and humidity of the operating room.There were 80 eyes (82%) had stage 1 DLK, 11 eyes (11%) had stage 2, 4 eyes (4%) had stage 3 and 3 eyes (3%) had stage 4.The incidence of DLK after FS-LASIK was 40% (79 eyes in 42 patients), that after LASIK assistant by Hastome keratome was 45% (10 eyes in 5 patients), that after SMILE was 20% (9 eyes in 6 patients).After intensive treatment, as glucocorticoid treatment and flap lifting flushing, all cases recovered within 1mo.CONCLUSION: The outbreak of DLK may be associated with the disposable item, flushing liquor, temperature and humidity of the operating room.Early diagnosis, prevention and treatment are the key of decreasing the incidence of DLK.

Objective To investigate the feasibility,safety and clinical efficacy of transvaginal myomectomy.Methods A total of 92 patients with uterine leiomyoma were given either vaginal myomectomy(Study Group,n=46) or abdominal myomectomy(Control Group,n=46).Clinical outcomes between the two groups were compared.Results Both vaginal and abdominal myomectomy were performed successfully.The operation time between the two groups was not statistically significant(t=-0.734,P=0.465).There were significant differences between the Study Group and the Control Group in the intraoperative blood loss(60.4(?5.6 ml) vs 82.5?50.2 ml;t=-2.210,P=0.000),the time to first passing flatus(15.3?3.2 h vs 27.5?4.8 h;(t=-14.343,)P=0.030),the incidence of postoperative pain (?~2=29.447,P=0.000),the rate of postoperative pyrexia(?~2=3.903,P=0.048),and the hospital stay(3.1?0.4 d vs 5.2?1.1 d;t=-12.169,P=0.000).Conclusions Transvaginal myomectomy has advantages of little invasion,quick recovery of bowel movement,slight postoperative pain,low rate of postoperative pyrexia,and short hospital stay,being a safe and feasible minimally invasive option for uterine leiomyoma.

AIM: To investigate the effect and mechanism of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) in topical treatment on trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis in rats. METHODS: Colitis was induced by intracolonic administration of TNBS and was treated with 5-ASA at the dose of 100 mg?kg -1 for 2 weeks. Normal control group was administrated with normal saline and TNBS control group was treated with TNBS, not with 5-ASA. Macroscopic damage, histological changes and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity were evaluated. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) level in colonic mucosa were detected by kits. The expression of interleukin-1? (IL-1?) and tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) mRNAs in colonic mucosa was determined by a reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction method. RESULTS: Compared with TNBS control group, the macroscopic and histological changes and MPO activity in 5-ASA treated groups were improved. SOD activity was increased and the level of MDA in colonic mucosa was reduced significantly. The expression of IL-1? and TNF-? mRNAs in colonic mucosa was also decreased significantly. CONCLUSION: 5-ASA enema can significantly ameliorate TNBS-induced colitis in rats via antioxidant mechanism and attenuation of proinflammatory cytokine expression.

Objective:This work aims to investigate diallyl disulfide (DADS) inhibition of cell migration and invasion in human colon cancer SW480 cells through the Rac1-ADF/cofilin1 pathway. Methods:The potential of cell migration and invasion was examined by scratch healing assay and transwell membrane assay. The expression of Rac1-ADF/cofilin1 pathway was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results:After the SW480 cells were treated with 40 and 50 mg·L-1 of DADS for 24 h, the number of transmembrane cells through the Matrigel obviously decreased by 57.12%and 64.59%, respectively (P<0.05). After cell treatment for 48 h, the cell migration rates were 23.23%and 12.87%, which were significantly lower compared with the control group (75.86%;P<0.05). After the cells were treated with 45 mg·L-1 of DADS for 24 and 48 h, the expression of Rac1, Rock1, PAK1, LIMK1, and destrin mRNA respectively decreased compared with the control group (P<0.05). However, no significant difference was observed in the expression of cofilin1 mRNA (P>0.05). After the treatment with 45 mg·L-1 of DADS for 6, 12, 24, and 48 h, the expression of Rac1, Rock1, PAK1, LIMK1, and Destrin proteins respectively decreased in a time-dependent manner compared with the control group (P<0.05). However, no significant differences were observed in the expression of the cofilin1 protein (P>0.05). Moreover, the expression of p-LIMK1 and p-cofilin1 notably decreased in a time-dependent manner (P<0.05). Conclusion:DADS inhibits cell migration and invasion, which is related to the down-regulation of Rac1, Rock1, PAK1, LIMK1, p-LIMK1, p-cofilin1, and destrin through the Rac1-ADF/cofilin1 pathway.

A rapid LAMP detection method with primers designed on genus-specific region identified in the gyrA gene was established in this assay. All four Campylobacter jejuni from different sources were detected positive and fourteen non Campylobacter bacteria were negative, which shows excellent specificity of the primers. Compared with plate count and PCR method, the LAMP method and the PCR method had equal sensitivity, which were three orders of magnitude higher than plate count. In this assay, we also found out that the treatment of DNase could reduce the dead bacteria DNA effectively. The LAMP detection on chicken indicated relatively good result on detection of Campylobacter jejuni combining with treatment of DNase.

The mRNA levels of adiponectin in adipose tissue and adiponectin receptor R1 in skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetic rats were examined by semi-quatitative RT-PCR.The expression of adiponectin receptor R1 was not altered in the skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetic rats as compared with normal rats.The serum adiponectin level was decreased in diabetic rats due to the decline of adiponectin mRNA level in adipose tissue and rosiglitazone improved the adiponectin deficiency.
