Objective To observe the effects of low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation (LF-TMS) on the electroencephalogram (EEG),expression of NPY in hippocampus in pilocarpine (PLO)-induced epileptic rats. Methods Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats (240-260 g) were used to establish a model of epilepsy by in- tradominal injection of pilocarpine,and then randomized into 2 groups:a control group and an intervention group. The control group was treated by sham LF-TMS,while the intervention group was treated by LF-TMS once daily for 7 days.Ⅰgroup simply celiac inject pilocarpine.Ⅱgroup celiac inject PLO after LF-TMS.The EEG was recorded in both groups and the checked pathology.Pathological item include HE staining,NPY immunohisto chemical staining. Results The latency for seizure attack was significantly lengthened,while the frequency of seizure attack and times of major seizure attack were significantly decreased in the intervention group.The HE staining revealed significant de- generation and necrosis of neurons in the hippocampus,especially in the CA3 region,in rats in the control group. The pathologic changes were significantly less severe in the intervention,Immunohistochemical staining showed a sig- nificantly higher expression of NPY in the hippocampus as compared with the intervention group. Conclusion U- sing the PLO-induced epilepsy model,LF-TMS could not only postpone the generation of kindling but also inhibit the progress of epilepsy.The increased NPY expression in the hippocampusin the intervention group implied a close rela- tionship between NPY and epilepsy attack.

AlM:To compare the effect of different incision in corneal astigmatism after phacoemulsification.
METHODS: Totally 88 cases ( 122 eyes ) with pure cataract were randomly divided into two groups. Forty cases (60 eyes) were clarity corneal incision in group A, and 48 cases ( 62 eyes ) were sclera tunnel incision in group B. Mean corneal astigmatism, surgically induced astigmatism ( SlA ) , uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ) and best correct vision acuity ( BCVA ) were observed in pre- and post-operation at 1d;1wk;1mo.
RESULTS: The mean astigmatism had statistically significant difference between two groups at 1d; 1wk;1mo after operation(P<0. 05). The SlA had statistically significant difference at 1d ( P<0. 05 ); The SlA had no statistically significant difference between two groups at 1mo after operation (P>0. 05). UCVA≥0. 5 and BCVA≥0. 8 had statistically significant difference at 1d; 1wk ( P<0. 05) . There had no statistically significant difference at 1mo after operation (P>0. 05).
CONCLUSlON: Phacoemulsification with scleral tunnel incision remove combined intraocular lens ( lOL ) implantation has small changes to corneal astigmatism. By selecting personalized corneal incision according to the corneal topography might be more beneficial.

Objective To investigate the effect of combination therapy by observing the salivary glands function and related organ pathology after given methotrexate (MTX) and cyclophosphamide (CTX) intermittently in induced mice model of Sjogren's syndrome (SS). To further explore the synergistic effect of combination therapy by detecting the immunological regulatory factor B cell activation factor belonging to the TNF family (BAFF) expression. Methods The ingredients of Lewis rat's exocrine glands homogenate were injected into female C57BL/6 mice to set up the mice model of SS. After established the SS mice model successfully, they were randomly divided into six SS model group, including low-dose MTX treatment group (0.02 mg/w), high-dose MTX treatment group (0.06 mg/w), CTX pause treatment group (1.2 mg/3 w), CTX alternate day treatment group (0.6 mg/2 d), MTX+CTX combination treatment group (MTX 0.02 mg/3 w+ CTX 1.2 mg/3 w). Treatment effects were assessed both clinically and histologically. Results Eighteen weeks after the first treatment, the improvement of the salivary secretion of the CTX alternate day treatment group and MTX+CTX combination treatment group were higher than other groups, which showed statistically significant difference (P<0.01). Compared with the SS model control group, HE staining showed that the lymphocytic infiltration of exoerine glands was decreased in the treatment group. In the CTX alternate day treatment group and MTX+CTX combination treatment group, few amount of inflammatory cell infiltration were found, and the expression intensity of BAFF mRNA and protein were decreased markedly in salivary gland than others by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry assay (P<0.01). Conclusion MTX and CTX can inhibit lymphocytic infiltration of the salivary glands, inhibit BAFF transcriptional level and production of BAFF protein, leading to an increase of fluid production. It suggests that modulation of signaling via BAFF pathways may be a mechanism of action. MTX and CTX combination therapy is more effective than single-agent therapy. The inhibitory effects of MTX and CTX on BAFF-mediated inflammatory pathways are primarily synergistic.

The giant panda is one of the most critically endangered species due to the fragmentation and loss of its habitat. Studying the functions of proteins in this animal, especially specific trait-related proteins, is therefore necessary to protect the species. In this work, the functions of these proteins were investigated using the genome sequence of the giant panda. Data on 21,001 proteins and their functions were stored in the Giant Panda Protein Database, in which the proteins were divided into two groups: 20,179 proteins whose functions can be predicted by GeneScan formed the known-function group, whereas 822 proteins whose functions cannot be predicted by GeneScan comprised the unknown-function group. For the known-function group, we further classified the proteins by molecular function, biological process, cellular component, and tissue specificity. For the unknown-function group, we developed a strategy in which the proteins were filtered by cross-Blast to identify panda-specific proteins under the assumption that proteins related to the panda-specific traits in the unknown-function group exist. After this filtering procedure, we identified 32 proteins (2 of which are membrane proteins) specific to the giant panda genome as compared against the dog and horse genomes. Based on their amino acid sequences, these 32 proteins were further analyzed by functional classification using SVM-Prot, motif prediction using MyHits, and interacting protein prediction using the Database of Interacting Proteins. Nineteen proteins were predicted to be zinc-binding proteins, thus affecting the activities of nucleic acids. The 32 panda-specific proteins will be further investigated by structural and functional analysis.
