AIM:To observe the clinical characteristics of palm video keratitis and analyze the pathogeny. And to explore methods to cure and prevent it.
METHODS: A total of 591 patients were randomly selected. Firstly, the frequency of staring at palm video equipment were investigated and break-up time of tear film with slit-lamp were observed. Then the data were calculated and the clinical characteristics were described. Finally, the correlation between incidence rate and the two factors were analyzed by SPSS13. 0 respectively.
RESULTS:The incidence rate of palm video keratitis increased along with the frequency of staring at palm video equipment and decreased along with break- up time. There was significant relationship between incidence rate and the two factors respectively.
CONCLUSION:It is the most important pathogeny that staring at palm video equipment ahead and down for a long time which cause the change of tear film. That can reduce the frequency of using palm equipment and drop artificial tears to prevent and cure the disease.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of medroxyprogesterone acetate in the treatment of endometrial atypical hyperplasia patients.Methods 98 cases of endometrial atypical hyperplasia patients were randomly divided into study group and control group with 49 cases in each group, study group were treated with medroxyprogesterone acetate treatment, and control group were given estradiol valerate tablets treatment.Two groups of patients were treated for 3 ~6 menstrual cycles, and clinical curative effect of two groups was compared.Results After treatment, the PBAC score and endometrial thickness inspection results in study group and control group respectively decreased significantly compared with before treatment (P<0.05), and the above indexes in study group were significantly lower than control group (P<0.05).After treatment, the hemoglobin value in two groups at 1st, 2nd, 3rd month after treatment was significantly higher than before treatment (P<0.05), and hemoglobin values at 1st, 2nd month after treatment was significantly higher than control group (P<0.05).The effective rate of study group (95.92%) was significantly higher than that of control group (81.63%, P<0.05).The recurrence rate during six months was 4.08% in study group, 8.16% in control group, and the difference was not statistically significant.Conclusion The efficacy of medroxyprogesterone acetate is better than estradiol valerate tablets in the treatment of endometrial atypical hyperplasia patients, which is safe and effective.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of 8-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) photodynamic therapy (PDT) on the cell proliferation, apoptosis and collagen secretion in keloid fibroblasts and to provide the theoretical base for ALA-PDT treatment of keloids.

METHODSFibroblasts from keloid patients were cultured to the third generation in vitro and incubated in 0, 1, 3, 6, 9 mmol/L of δ-aminolevulinic acid for 3 h in the darkness. Then they were exposed to 635 nm wavelength red light ( 30 J/cm2 ) and continued incubation 24 h after irradiation. CCK-8 assay was used to detect proliferation inhibition rate of fibroblasts. The content of hydroxyproline was measured by colorimetric method. The expression of p-Akt and programmed cell death 4 ( PDCD4) were detected by Western blot.

RESULTSThe inhibition rate of keloid fibroblasts were respectively 0, (8.30 ± 1.01)%, (29.48 ± 3.27)%, (52.01 ± 5.34)%, (79.99 ± 5.85)% with the presence of difference concentrations (0, 1, 3, 6, 9 mmol/L) of ALA. The content of hydroxyproline were respectively (9.540 0 ± 0.352 42), (6.242 5 ± 0.224 85 ), (5.107 5 ± 0.534 88), (3.490 0 ± 0.623 48), (2.945 0 ± 0.514 10) μg/mg. The relative expression of p-Akt were respectively 1, 0.75 ± 0.12, 0.52 ± 0.14, 0.41 ± 0.18, 0.32 ± 0.09. The relative expression of PDCD4 were respectively 1, 1.18 ± 0.19, 1.51 ± 0.22, 0.15 ± 0.30, 2.44 ± 0.22. The difference was statistically significant when compared the group of 1, 3, 6, 9 mmol/L with 0 mmol/L (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSIn concentration within the range of 1-9 mmol/L, ALA could inhibit the proliferation of fibroblasts significantly, promote fibroblasts apoptosis and reduce the content of hydroxyproline in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that 8-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy may be a potential treatment for keloid.

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) is a complex gene superfamily of proteins that metabolizes a myriad of endogenous and exogenous substrates. Liver-enriched transcription factors (LETF) play a role in the constitutive and tissue-specific expression of hepatic genes. In this review, six families of LETF that play a role in the tissue-specific, developmental, sexual and temporal regulation of CYP are discussed.

Fabry disease is an inherited metabolic disease, resulting from a deficiency of the enzyme a-galactosidase A activity. Principal clinical manifestation of Fabry disease was limb pain episodes, angioceratoma, and progressive damage of heart,brain, kidney. Although Fabry disease cannot be cured at present,early diagnosis and enzyme replacement therapy can change the prognosis completely.

Objective To examine the inhibitory effect of IL-2-PE40 on the mouse corneal allograft rejection. Methods A mouse corneal graft model was set up by using C57BL/6 mice as donors and Balb/c mice as recipients. In the treatment group, IL-2-PE40 (0.6 μg/g body weight) was intraperitoneally injected from the day of surgery every 12 h until rejection happened. In the control group, the equal volume of PS was injected intraperitoneally at the corresponding time points. The transplanted cornea was observed under slit-lamp twice a week and the transplanted corneal opacity and neovascularization were rated according to Horis grading standards. It led to the determination of rejection response. The survival of transplanted cornea was regarded to be stopped when the rejection occurred. The operated eyes were observed historically on the 10th, 15th, 25th and 35th day after the surgery, and the peripheral blood was collected for measurement of T cell subgroups and T lymphocyte colonies. Results The survival time of cornea in the treatment and control groups was (30.2±2.9) days and (15.1±2.1) days respectively. In the control group, rejection occurred on the 15th day after the surgery, CD4~+ cells started rise right after the surgery and increased most obviously on the 15th day [(63.9±4.0)%] and decreased afterwards. CD4~+ cells in the treatment group were increased slightly [(42.6±4.0)%] on the 15th day. The number of CD4~+ cells in the treatment group was obviously less than in the control group (P<0.01). No significant changes in CD8~+ cells were observed in both groups. The number of T lymphocyte colonies in the control group was increased at the beginning and dropped then. No obvious change was found in the treatment group. The number of T lymphocyte colonies in the treatment group was significantly less than in the control group (P＜0.01). Conclusion IL-2-PE40 is a highly specific immunosuppressive agent. It can delay the development of corneal graft rejection and reduce the percentage of T-helper cells significantly. It also works to weaken the forming capacity of the peripheral T lymphocyte colonies.

Proteomics, a new branch of science, has been used to study protein expressions on the molecular level with a dynamic perspective. Organisms under varying states may express different proteins, which results in the set-up of differential proteomics. Research methods of differential proteomics include the separation and identification of proteins. Differential proteomics has a rapid development in recent years. In the study of acupuncture, researchers have reached certain achievements using differential proteomics to investigate the mechanisms of acupuncture treatment for some diseases, including acute spinal cord injury, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, Parkinson's disease and neuralgia.
