Background Corneal confocal microscopy can denamically offer the morphological image of corneal cells at cellular level.To find out the dynamic change of corneal thickness and morphology of corneal cells with aging is very important for the design of corneal refractive surgery.ObjectivePresent study is to find out the important relevance of dynamic change of corneal thickness and morphology of corneal cells with aging and the design of corneal refractive surgery and investigate the influence of age on central corneal tissue and characterize precisely the anatomy of cornea by in vivo confocal microscopy.Methods122 eyes of 122 normal subjects were enrolled in this study with the age from 18 through 80 years old.The subjects were diagnosed as emmetropia in the Center of Tianjin Medical University from August 2003 to December 2007.All eyes were examined in vivo by confocal microscopy.The cell morphology,cell density and corneal thickness were measured by confocal microscopy.The relationship of central corneal tissue change and age was evaluated.ResultsThe density of corneal superficial basement epithelial cells showed a significantly negative correlation with age (r=-0.355,P=0.017).The keratocyte density in the anterior and posterior stroma indicated a significantly negative correlation with age (r_1=-0.462,P=0.001;r_2=-0.403,P=0.016).The thickness of corneal epithelium cells had a significantly negative correlation with age (P=0.02).The mean value of total corneal thickness and stromal thickness in high myopic eyes was (523.2±26.20)μm and (468.4±20.72)μm respectively,presenting a significantly negative correlation with age (r_1=-0.552,P=0.014;r_2=-0.545,P=0.035).A significantly negative correlation was also found in endothelial cell areas and density with age (r_1=0.417,P=0.004;r_2=-0.598,P=0.002).The percentage of polymorphological corneal endothelial cells was considerably increased(r=0.417,P=0.004)but that of pleomorphism cells was significantly decreased in >60-year-old population compared with younger subjects (r=-0.598,P=0.002).The morphology of corneal basement cell,anterior stroma cytocyte and endothelial cell were normal in younger subjects,and enlargement of the cells in size,decreases of number and density of the cells were found in >60-year-old subject.ConclusionThe anatomy and histology of the central cornea in young subjects exist discrepancy from older ones.The corneal hisological changes with aging include thinner thickness of epithelium,thinner thickness of cornea,decreased density of keratocyte and endothelial cells and increased size of endothelial cells.Corneal thickness is asymmetric and seems to undergo age-related anatomic changes.

Objective To construct and screen siRNA targeting a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) gene in a mouse colorectal cancer celline, CT-26. To investigate the effects to the cell growth and migrant capacity of CT-26 after knockdown APRIL gene, lay the foundation for molecular targeted therapy to colorectal cancer. Methods Four pairs of APRIL siRNA were designed and chemically synthesized. And disorder sequences were synthesized as a negative control. These sequences were transfected with LipofectAMINE 2000 into CT-26 cells, which high-expressed APRIL gene. The transfection efficency rate of 6-FAM labelled control siRNA was detected by fluorescence microscope. The inhibition effectiveness of APRIL mRNA and protein was analyzed by FQ-RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. Cell proliferation activity was analyzed by cell counting kit-8, cell migration capacity was detected by the repair of cell damage, and MMP-2 together with TIMP-1, two important regulatory genes in cell metastasis, were measured by RT-PCR.Results The different kinds of APRIL siRNA effectively suppressed the level of APRIL mRNA and the protein expression in CT-26 (P ＜ 0.05 ). Cell proliferation and metastasis ability were repressed after APRIL siRNA transfection( P ＜ 0.05 ), compared with random siRNA control and nontransfected control. The mRNA levels of MMP-2 and TIMP-1 genes wre significantly altered among APRIL siRNA groups and two control groups ( P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion We have constructed and screened a kind of siRNA (APsi737) targeting APRIL gene in a mouse colorectal cancer cell line, CT-26. APRIL siRNA can effectively inhibit the cell growth and migration capacity, maybe be regulated by MMP-2 and TIMP-1.

Objective:To understand the current situation and demand of intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique training for PICC specialist nurses in Shandong Province, and provide a reference for further improving and improving the training of PICC specialist nurses.Methods:From July 7-23, 2019, a total of 903 PICC specialist nurses in Shandong Province were selected by the convenience sampling method. The nurses were investigated by the self-made general information questionnaire of PICC specialist nurses in Shandong Province and the training demand questionnaire of intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique.Results:40.75% (368/903) PICC specialist nurses had participated in intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique training; 84.27% (761/903) PICC specialist nurses thought it necessary to conduct intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique training. PICC specialist nurses had various training on intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique, the average content requirements were all above 4.67 points. The highest score of theoretical training content was the judgment of the relationship between catheter tip position and electrocardiogram P wave (4.80 ± 0.47), and the highest score of operation training content was the intracavitary electrocardiography guided PICC catheterization (4.74 ± 0.55). 94.24%(851/903) PICC specialist nurses hoped to achieve the goal of improving clinical nursing practice ability through intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique training. Intravenous therapy specialist academic conference was the main hoped training form(76.85%, 694/903). Multiple regression analysis showed that the number of years of catheterization, job position and understanding of the technology were the influencing factors of PICC specialist nurses′ training needs for intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique ( t = -3.73,3.12, -3.63, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The training rate of intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique was low, but PICC specialist nurses had higher training requirements for intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique. Managers should pay attention to the training of intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique, and develop targeted training programs to further improve the clinical practice capabilities of the PICC specialist nursing team.

Objective:To investigate any effect of different environments on the levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol and testosterone using SAMP8 senescence-accelerated mice.Methods:Thirty SAMP8 mice were randomly divided into an enriched environment (EE) group, an impoverished environment (IE) group and a standard environment (SE) group, each of 10. The serum levels of ACTH, cortisol and testosterone were measured in all of the mice after they had lived in their respective environments for 8 weeks.Results:The average ACTH concentrations of the IE, EE and SE groups were (60.54±16.22), (48.98±15.30) and (28.49±8.24)pg/ml respectively. The average cortisol concentrations were (5.37±0.81), (4.09±0.92) and (3.19±0.88)ng/ml. The average testosterone concentrations being (2.35±0.90), (7.07±1.57) and (3.16±1.10)ng/ml. The average ACTH and cortisol levels were significantly different between the SE and IE groups. The average ACTH and testosterone levels differed significantly between the SE and EE groups and between the EE and IE groups.Conclusions:An impoverished environment can increase the secretion of ACTH and cortisol and activate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, at least in SAMP8 mice. An enriched environment can promote the secretion of ACTH and testosterone, but not that of cortisol.
