Cataract is the first ophthalmological blinding eye disease. In recent years, phacoemulsification has become the preferred method for the treatment of cataract due to its short time and small damage, which is widely used by ophthalmologists. With the continuous improvement of technology, serious complications caused by phacoemulsification become less and less. But the phenomenon of postoperative corneal edema is not uncommon. The incidence of corneal edema is especially high in patients with diabetic cataracts. This paper reviewes the concept of corneal edema, pathogenesis and the related factors of corneal edema after phacoemulsification in diabetic cataract patients.

OBJECTIVE To study the isolation and resistance tendency of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii to antimicrobial agents from 1998 to 2004 to provide valuable data for infection prevention and therapy. METHODS We reviewed the isolation rates,distribution in clinical specimens and wards,and the resistance rates of(A.calcoaceticus-baumannii)to 14 kinds of antimicrobial agents from 1998 to 2004. RESULTS There was an increasing tendency of isolation rates of A.calcoaceticus-baumannii every year,which was 0.18% in 1998 but 1.48% in 2004.In the seven years,there was the highest isolation rate of 70.58% in specimens from respiratory tract,the next was from the urine(9.42%),and blood(4.63%).Concerning the wards distribution,ICU had the highest rate of 47.28%.In 1998,A.calcoaceticus-baumannii had resistance rates more than 50% only to one kind of antimicrobial agents(aztreonam),but in 2004,it had increased to thirteen kinds(except cefoperazone/sulbactam).About the fourteen kinds of antimicrobial agents we inspected,that were increased in their resistance rate.The highest increasing of resistance rate was ceftazidime from 11.1% in 1998 to 88.9% in 2004,the imipenem was second for 0.0% to 64.8%,and the third was sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim form 0.0% to 64.0%,while there still was an increasing resistance tendency to them. CONCLUSIONS The clinical isolation rate of A.calcoaceticus-baumannii is increasing,and it has higher resistance rates to many antimicrobial agents as well as an increasing resistance tendency to relatively susceptive antimicrobial agents every year.So physicians should prescribe on the basis of antimicrobial agents susceptibility tests in vitro.

Objective To study the exact function of human gene 5 transactivated by pre-S1 protein of hepatitis B virus(PS1TP5)by investigating the gene expression of PS1TP5 in yeast cells. Methods Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)was performed to amplify the gene of PS1TP5 using the mRNA of HepG2 cells as template and the gene was cloned into pGEM-T vector.The gene of PS1TP5 was cut from pGEM-T-PS1TP5 vector and cloned into yeast expressive plasmid pGBKT7,then pGBKT7-PS1TP5 was transformed into yeast cell AH109.The yeast protein was isolated and analyzed with sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE) and Western hybridization.Results PS1TP5 gene was successfully amplified and identified by DNA sequencing.The digested fragment was cloned into pGBKT7 vector and transformed into yeast cell AH109.The results of SDS-PAGE and Western assay showed that the relative molecular weight of the expressed product was about 36 950,and PS1TP5 protein existed in yeast cells.Conclusion The findings suggest that PS1TP5 can be successfully expressed in yeast cell.

Objectives To explore the effect of transient continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) on β cell function, insulin resistance and vascular endothelial injury in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients and its potential mechanism. Methods Ten patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) accepted CSII for two weeks. Intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) and hyperinsulinemia euglycemia clamp test were performed before and after CSII. Serum soluble E-selectin (sE-selectin) was used to evaluate the injury of vascular endothelial cell, while serum high sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP) and soluble CD_(14) (sCD_(14)) were both used to assess inflammatory condition. Results (1) Compared with those before treatment, the blood glucose levels of IVGTT, the area under the curve of the blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, TC and LDL-C in the patients were decreased after CSII (P < 0. 05 or 0. 01). (2) Compared with those before treatment, the insulin levels of IVGTT (except the fasting insulin), the area under the curve of insulin and acute insulin response were all increased after CSII(P < 0.05 or 0.01). (3) Compared with that before treatment, the glucose infusion ratio in the clamp test [(3.46±1.66)mg·kg~(-1)·min~(-1) increased to (7.14±2.37)mg·kg~(-1)·min~(-1)]and HOMA-β elevated, while HOMA-IR declined (P <0. 05 or 0. 01 in all). (4) Compared with those before treatment, the levels of serum sE-selectin, sCD_(14) and hsCRP were decreased (P < 0. 01, except for hsCRP) . Conclusion Transient intensive insulin therapy in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM is useful to restore 13 cell function, attenuate insulin resistance, repair vascular endothelial injury and improve the disorder of blood sugar and lipid. The mechanism may be related with the inhibition of inflammation in patients.

OBJECTIVE: To seek the pathomorphological targets for forensic expertise in anaphylactic shock. METHODS: The expression of IgE in hearts, lungs, livers, spleens, kidneys, gastrics, intestinals, tracheas and tonsils of anaphylactic shock guinea-pigs was observed at 0, 6, 12 h and 24 h respectively by tissue chip S-P immuno-histochemical method. RESULTS: Positive expression of IgE presented in lungs and tracheas in the test group with the peak at 0 hour and it declined as time advanced, and also there were significant differences at different times (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The immuno-histochemical method of detecting the expression of IgE in lungs, tracheas and spleens can be supposed to be the pathomorphological targets for forensic expertise in anaphylactic shock. The weakening of the positive expression of IgE in lungs and tracheas as the time advanced suggested that in this kind of case the autopsy should be arried out as early as possible.

OBJECTIVETo screen proteins in leukocytes interacting with PS1TP2 by yeast-two hybrid and to view their subcellular localization in HepG2 cells.

METHODSThe function and structure of PS1TP2 were studied by bioinformatic analysis. PS1TP2 gene was amplified and cloned into plasmid pET32a (+) and pGBKT7 to construct recombinant expression vectors pET32a (+)-PS1TP2 and pGBKT7-PS1TP2. They were transduced into E. coli Rosetta strain and yeast AH109. The transformed yeast mated with yeast Y187 containing leukocyte cDNA library plasmid in a 2xYPDA medium. Diploid yeast cells were plated on a synthetic dropout nutrient medium (SD/-Trp-Leu-His-Ade) for selecting twice and then screening. Then a green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression vector pEGFP-C1-PS1TP2 was established, transduced into HepG2, and its subcellular localization was studied by fluorescence microscopy and confocal microscopy.

RESULTSBioinformatic analysis showed that the PS1TP2 gene was located at 6q24.1, the protein was unstable and the aliphatic index was very high. After transformation of the E. coli and yeast AH109, the expression protein showed: (1) the molecular weight of the expressed product was about 41000 Da, and (2) PS1TP2 existed within the cells. Diploid yeast cells were plated on the synthetic dropout nutrient medium containing X-a-gal for selecting twice and then screening. Twenty-six colonies from blue colonies were sequenced, pEGFP-C1-PS1TP2 was successfully expressed in the HepG2 cells, and PS1TP2 was located in the cell plasma.

CONCLUSIONA prokaryotic expression vector pET32a(+)-PS1TP2 was constructed successfully and the PS1TP2 was successfully expressed in the yeast system. Genes of PS1TP2 interact with leukocyte proteins. These results bring some new clues for studying the biological functions of HBV.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of epilepsy on sleep in children.

METHODSWhole night polysomnography was performed in 48 epileptic children and 12 healthy controls. The 48 epileptic children were divided into focal seizure and generalized seizure groups and into waking seizure and sleeping seizure groups according to the time of occurrence of the seizures. Various parameters of sleep structure were analyzed.

RESULTSThe sleep efficiency of epileptic children was significantly lower than that of the healthy controls (85.4 +/- 8.6% vs 90.9 +/- 5.8%; P < 0.05). The total recording time (TRT) of sleep was significantly longer and the sleep efficiency was significantly lower in the focal seizure group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The percentage of stage 1 non-rapid-eye-movement sleep (S1 sleep) increased and the percentage of rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep decreased in the generalized seizure group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The percentage of S1 sleep increased and both the percentage of REM sleep and the sleep efficiency decreased in the sleeping seizure group as compared with the control group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the parameters of sleep structure between the waking seizure and the control group. Among the sleeping seizure group, the children with generalized seizure showed significantly lower REM sleep percentage and sleep efficiency, and those with focal seizure had significantly longer TRT and higher S1 sleep percentage as compared with the controls.

CONCLUSIONSEpilepsy affects sleep structure of patients, and different types of seizure have different influences on sleep structure. Children with generalized seizure have prolonged light sleep and shortened REM sleep. When generalized seizures occur during waking, the increase of light sleep is more pronounced. While generalized seizures occur during sleeping, REM sleep reduction is more prominent. Children with focal seizures have decreased sleep efficiency. When focal seizures occur during waking, the sleep structure of patients is normal. However, when seizures occur during sleeping light sleep increases and sleep efficiency decreases.
