This paper is a review for the researches of this rare adverse reaction at internal and abroad. It can prompt more ophthalmologists to understand and pay attention to this rare adverse reaction of acetazolamide and sulfonamides derived drugs. Then the doctor will make accurate diagnosis, timely treatment and grasp the right operation opportunity and reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications ultimately.

General anesthetics were widely used in ophthalmology surgical and other surgical anesthesia, sedation and animal experiments. The current study found that anesthesia drugs such as ketamine, sevoflurane and propofol had a great influence on eyes. Elevated intraocular pressure was a risk factor for glaucoma occurrence and progress and it can change the intraocular structure, and damage the visual function. So in this paper, the effects of several kinds of general anesthetics commonly used were systematically described, in order to hold the attention of the clinicians and the researchers.

OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the important role of calcium and calreticulin in cardiomyocyte.DATA SOURCES: We searched PubMed database for articles about the role of calcium and calreticulin in the cardiomyocyte published in English from January 1994 to December 2005 with the key words of "Ca2+, calreticulin, cardiomyocytes/ cardiac myocyte, differentiation".STUDY SELECTION: The retrieved data were selected primarily and articles about the important role of calcium and calreticulin in the cardiomyocyte were selected. Meanwhile, articles of repetitive research were excluded.DATA EXTRACTION: Totally 200 articles were researched, 42 were included, and 158 were excluded.DATA SYNTHESIS: Investigation on the molecular structure of the intracellular Ce2+ release channels (RyR and IP3R) on the endoplasmic reticulum and sarcoplasmic reticulum and structure of crt gene manifests that these channels co-participate in the regulation of calcium homeostasis with calreticulin, which plays a key role in cardiac development and differentiation.CONCLUSION: Intracellular free Ca2+ is a critical second messenger in heart. Alterations in intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis have profound effects on cardiac functions such as contraction-relaxation and cardiac development. Intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis is maintained primarily via the endoplasmic reticulum, within which, Ca2+ is mainly bound to calreticulin.Knockout of crt gene is embryonically lethal due to impaired cardiac development.

[Objective]To investigate the ability of repairing bone defect with the combination of recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-1(rhIGF-1),coralline hydrolyapatite(CHA) and autogeneous red bone marrow(ARBM) by way of imaginology.[Method]Bilateral middle radius periosteum-bone defects (11mm in length) were created in 54 Chinese rabbits,and were ramdonly devided into 6 groups(each group containning 18 radial defects of one forearm): group A, defects transplanted with rhIGF-1/CHA/ARBM,group B,with CHA/ARBM,group C,with rhIGF-1/CHA,group D,with CHA,group E,with autograft,group F,no implant.At 2,4,8,and 12 weeks postoperation,the repair effects of defects were evaluated by observation of gross appearance,roengenodiagnosis and radionuclide bone image assay.[Result]In group A,radiological and bone density image analysis showed that the defects were bridged well at 12 weeks postoperatively and was significantly superior to those of any other groups(P0.05).[Conclusion]The recombinant compound rhIGF-1/CHA/ARBM,which possesses the potential ability of osteogenesis,osteocondution and osteoinduction for bone defect repairing,can enhance bone healing and serve as a new type of bone substitute.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the characteristics of serum protein in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) during the symptomatic period. METHOD: Fifty-five patients with BPPV and 58 control subjects were enrolled in the study. All the patients underwent the Dixe-Hallpike and Roll maneuver to confirm the type of BPPV. The average time of onset was (1.0 ± 0.8)days in the group of BPPV. The clinical features and the laboratory tests of serum protein electrophoresis, blood counts, and liver and kidney function were performed in both groups. RESULT: The levels of serum albumin (Alb), α1 globulin, α2 globulin and β globulin of BPPV group did not differ statistically in the two groups (P > 0.05); The γ-globulin levels were significantly higher in patients with BPPV than in controls (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The γ-globulin levels are increased when BPPV is attacking.

Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease, which is characterized by a concave atrophy of the optic disc and a characteristic defect of the visual field.The current diagnosis and evaluation of glaucoma are mainly based on fundus photography, optical coherence tomography and visual field examination.Hemodynamic changes play an important role in the pathophysiology of glaucomatous optic nerve damage, however, blood flow evaluation of the optic disc has been directed to large vessels in the past, and there has been no good evaluation equipment for quantitative evaluation of blood flow in microvessels.Optical coherence tomography angiography quantifies blood flow in the retina and choroid, which provides a new method and index for the evaluation of glaucomatous optic nerve damage.In this paper, the application of optical coherence tomography angiography in the measurement of blood vessel density in the optic disc and macular region in the diagnosis and progress assessment of glaucoma, and the consistency of blood flow parameters with structural parameters such as the optic nerve fiber layer and sieve plate and visual field parameters, etc.were reviewed to evaluate the value of blood flow parameters in predicting and assessing glaucomatous damage.

Objective To develop neural stem cells(NSCs) which can stably express exogenous brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) in vitro. Methods NSCs from the subependymal zone of embry-onic day 14.5(E14.5) rat brain were purified by limiting dilution assay and then infected with supernatant of recombinant retrovirus pLXSN-BDNF and retrovirus pLXSN. The original copy numbers of exogenous gene templates from three groups NSCs(pLXSN-BDNF viral infection group, pLXSN viral infection group, control group) were detected by fluorescent quantitative PCR(FQ-PCR). ELISA assay was used for determining the protein contents of BDNF of supernatant from three groups NSCs for six days continually after seeded in 24-well plates in the same cell density. Results NSCs were purified successfully by limiting dilution assay.The original copy numbers of exogenous BDNF gene templates from pLXSN-BDNF viral infection group by FQ-PCR were (19.57±0.65) × 10~3 copies/μl, higher than those of another two groups(P < 0.05). The protein contents of BDNF of supernatant from NSCs of pLXSN-BDNF viral infection group was highest among three groups and compared with another two groups had statistical significance (P <0.05) . Conclusion The purified NSCs can be transduced exogenous BDNF successfully with supematant of recombinant retrovir-us pLXSN-BDNF which provide experimental evidences and laying foundations for further research of retinal transplantation and quantization investigation of gene therapy for optic nerve injury.

Objective To improve the selection of flying cadets of the Air Force of People′s Liberation Army of China ( PLAAF) by analyzing the differences of medical identification of lumbar spondylolysis between PLAAF and the US Air Force ( USAF) .Methods Flight crew who had been checked for lumbar spondylolysis during hospitalization at the Air Force General Hospital between 2013 and 2015 were chosen.The results of their medical identification were compaired according to PLAAF and USAF Medical Standards Directory, and their differences and possible reasons were analyzed accordingly.Results The qualified rate of PLAAF was about 85%, which was very close to the standards of USAF, but the difference was not of any statistical significance(P>0.05).Conclusion The standards of our medical identification of lumbar spondylolysis was similar to those of USAF, suggesting that the selection of flying cadets can be improved.

Objective To investigate serum interferon-inducible protein 16 (IFI16) level in the patients with preeclampsia (PE) and its correlation with PE pathogenesis.Methods Forty-five PE pregnant women in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2015 to March 2016 were selected as the PE group and contemporaneous 30 healthy pregnant women undergoing the routine pregnant examination were selected as the control group.The biochemical indexes of serum urea,uric acid,creatinine,etc.were detected by using the automatic biochemical analyzer.The serum levels of IFI16 and ET-1 were measured by ELISA.Then the correlations between serum IFI16 level with these detected indicators were analyzed.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the value of serum IFI16 for predicting PE disease.Results The serum IFI16 and ET-1 levels in the PE group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.01).Furthermore the serum IFI16 level in severe PE was significantly higher than that in mild PE (P<0.01).Serum IFI16 level in PE was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,24-h urine protein quantitation and serum ET-1 level,and negatively correlated with serum albumin.Serum IFI16 levels 14.47 ng/mL and 17.09 ng/mL as the critical values for predicting preeclampsia and discriminating between mild preeclampsia and severe preeclampsia has a higher sensitivity and specificity.Conclusion The high level of serum IFI16 in pregnant women has a certain correlation with PE pathogenesis and may be a novel biomarker for predicting PE occurrence.
