International Eye Science 2016;16(11):2099-2102
AIM:To evaluate the effect of rigid gas permeable ( RGP ) lens on the tear film and the visual quality in adolescents with a double-pass system.
METHODS:This was a prospective study comprised 23 myopia patients ( 39 eyes ) wearing rigid gas permeable contact lens ( RGP ) between Jun. 2015 and Aug. 2015 in the Department of Ophthalmology of Jinling Hospital. Uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ) , sphere refractive, cylinder refractive, Schirmer I test, tear film break-up time ( BUT ) , the visual quality and the tear film quality with OQAS II were obtained before and 1wk, 1, 3, 6mo after wearing. The data was analyzed using t-test and One-way.
RESULTS:The UCVA in before and after 1wk, 1, 3, 6mo were 0. 23±0. 10, 0. 81±0. 23, 0. 99±0. 11, 1. 01±0. 09, 0. 95±0. 14, the difference was statistically significant ( F=723. 36, P<0.01). The sphere in before and after 1wk, 1, 3, 6mo were (-2. 83±1. 34) D, (-0. 63±0. 82) D, (-0. 12±0. 20) D, (-0. 03±0. 10 ) D, (-0. 10±0. 30 ) D respectively, the difference was statistically significant (F=107. 01, P<0. 01). The refractive cylinder in before and after 1wk, 1, 3, 6mo were (-0. 12±0. 21) D, (-0. 13±0. 22) D, (-0. 12±0. 21) D, (-0. 14±0. 26) D, (-0. 21±0. 27) D respectively, there was no significant difference before and after wearing RGP (F=2. 58, P>0. 05). Schirmer I test showed no statistically significant difference before and after wearing RGP ( F=4.88, P>0. 05). The stability of tear film was reduced after wearing RGP, and the difference was statistically significant (F=135. 11, P<0. 01). The modulate transfer function ( MTF ) cut- off frequency was reduced after wearing RGP, the object scatter index ( OSI ) was increased after wearing RGP, and the difference was statistically significant, the tear film quality OSI was increased after wearing RGP, and the difference was statistically significant (F=6. 16, 19. 23, 10. 62, P<0. 01).CONCLUSION:The UCVA is significantly increased after wearing RGP. However, there was no significant change in the base-line of tear secretion, but BUT is significantly reduced after wearing RGP. The stability of the tear film is reduced, which can lead to a decline in visual quality.

Recent studies reported that thymoquinone (TQ), a component derived from the medicinal spice Nigella sativa (also called black cumin), exhibited inhibitory effects on cell proliferation of many cancer cell lines. This study was performed to investigate the anti-metastatic effect of thymoquinone on the pancreatic cancer in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that thymoquinone suppressed the migration and invasion of Panc-1 cells in a does-dependent manner. To investigate the possible mechanisms involved in these events, Western blotting analysis was performed, and found that thymoquinone significantly down-regulates NF-kappaB and MMP-9 in Panc-1 cells. In addition, metastatic model simulating human pancreatic cancer was established by orthotropic implantation of histologically intact pancreatic tumor tissue into the pancreatic wall of nude mice. And administration of thymoquinone significantly reduced tumor metastasis compared to untreated control. Furthermore, the expression of NF-kappaB and MMP-9 in tumor tissues was also suppressed after treatment with thymoquinone. Taken together, the results indicate that thymoquinone exerts anti-metastatic activity on pancreatic cancer both in vitro and in vivo, which may be related to down-regulation of NF-kappaB and its regulated molecules such as MMP-9 protein. Consequently, these results provide important insights into thymoquinone as an antimetastatic agent for the treatment of human pancreatic cancer.

A total of 12 775 SSRs were identified from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi genomic database, accounting for 2.56% of the total genomic sequences. The result showed that S. baicalensis SSRs were based on 68.32% dinucleotide and 18.63% trinucleotide repeats; CT/GA and TTC/GAA were predominant in the dinucleotide motifs and the trinucleotide motifs respectively. Nine primers were selected to produce highly reproducible SSR bands and were used in studying the genetic diversity of S. baicalensis, 50 individuals from ten populations. 68 SSR polymorphic loci were detected, these loci were polymorphic and displayed 4 to 12 alleles per locus with a mean number of 7; the effect number of alleles was 3. Expected heterozygosities were 0.6 and were far more greater than the average in dicotyledonous plants. PIC (polymorphism information content) was 0.72, Shannon's information index was 1.32, these all proved that S. baicalensis had a high genetic diversity in general. Genetic differentiation among population Gst was 0.131, genetic variation among population accounted for 13.1% and genetic variation within population accounted for 86.9%. The cluster analysis showed that 10 populations S. Baicalensis were classified into 2 groups, but it was not associated with geographical distribution.
