Photography of slit-lamp biomicroscopy combined with retro-illumination photography is the gold standard in cataract evaluation. However the application is limited due to its complexity and low efficiency. We introduce digital non-mydriatic fundus photography as a new method for cataract screening in patients with visual impairment,which might play an important role in screening low vision and blindness caused by cataract. Two distinguished benefits are found in this method including compatibility for tele-diagnosis,and integration with screening of glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Cautions should be made on the photographs in which media opacity derived from other than cataract or low quality photos due to small pupils.

Objective To summarize our experience in the diagnosis and treatment of right hemicolon carcinoma combined with acute appendicitis.Methods A respective analysis of clinical data of 51 cases of right colon cancer complicated with acute appendicitis and confirmed by surgical operation and pathology was made.Results In 2400 cases of right colon cancer,51 cases(2.1%)complicated with appendicitis.There were medical complications in 39 cases(76.5%).The diagnosis before operation was made in 13 cases(25.5%),and diagnosis of colon cancer was missed in 38 cases(74.5%).Colon adenocarcinoma was found in 40 cases,mucous adenocarcinoma 7 cases(13.7%),undifferentiated carcinoma 4 cases(7.8%);and Dukes B,C,D stages were in 2 cases(3.9%),29 cases(56.9%)and 20 cases(39.2%)respectively.The simple appendicitis,suppurative appendicitis,gangrenous appendicitis and phlegnomous appendicitis was found in 28 cases(54.9%),11 cases(21.6%),8 cases(15.7%)and 4 cases(7.8%)respectively.3-5-year survival was 95.2%,40.0%,respectively.Conclusions Occurrence rate of right colon cancer combined with appendicitis is low,but misdiagnosis rate is high,and 5-year survival rate is low.Middle and old age patients with appendicitis and accompanied with emaciation,anemia,digestive symptoms and right lower abdominal mass should have appropriate examination to avoid missing the diagnosis of right colon cancer.

Objective: To investigate the effect of DL-homocysteine (Hcy) on expression of VCAM-1 and the adhesion between endothelial cells and monocytes in cultured rat aortic endothelial cells. Method: Rat aortic endothelial cells were cultured in vitro and treated by 0-5.0 mmol/L Hcy for 24 h. The activity of SOD and GSH-Px, the contents of MDA in the medium and the rates of adhesion between endothelial cells and monocytes were determined. The expressions of NF-?b,VCAM-1 protein and the VCAM-1 mRNA were detected by immunocytochemical and reverse transcriptase PCR respectively. Results: Compared with control group and 0.01 mmol/L Hcy , 0.1-5.0 mmol/L Hcy significantly inhibited the activity of SOD and GSH-Px, increased the contents of MDA and the expression of NF-?B and VCAM-1mRNA, enhanced the rates of adhesion between endothelial cells and monocytes. Conclusion: Homocysteine may play a crucial role in atherosclerosis by increasing the expression of NF-?B,VCAM-1mRNA and enhancing the rates of adhesion between endothelial cells and monocytes.

Objective:To investigate the cross protective effects of folic acid,VB6,VB12 on rat aortic endothelial cells(RAEC) from injury induced by DL-homocysteine(Hcy).Method:RAEC were cultured in vitro,and the cross effects of folic acid,VB6,VB12 were studied by MTT.According to the results of orthogonal design,the activities of SOD,GSH-PX,NOS and the contents of MDA,NO in the media were compared.Results:The results of orthogonal design indicated that the inhibition of Hcy to RAEC could be relieved by folic acid,VB12 excluding VB6.The interaction existed between folic acid and VB12,as well as VB6 and VB12.The inhibition of Hcy to the enzymes(SOD、GSH-PX、NOS) could be relieved by three vitamin projects.Folic acid,VB12,VB6 could inhibit the reduction of NO and decrease the production of MDA.Conclusion:The simultaneous addition of folic acid,VB6 and VB12 may be an excellent strategy for protection of RAEC injury induced by DL-homocysteine.

Objective To establish a SYBR green Ⅰ real-time PCR method for detecting serum miR-21 and preliminarily explore its value in diagnosing breast cancer.Methods Total RNA was extracted from serum by Trizol reagent.Then miR-16 ( internal reference gene for miR-21 ) and miR-21 were reverse transcribed into corresponding cDNA by stem-loop RT primers.Their cDNA were amplified and detected by using SYBR green Ⅰ real-time PCR.The accuracy of assay was analyzed by signal to noise ratio (SNR) ; the specificity of assay was evaluated by melting curve; the precision of assay was assessed by R2 of standard curve and the stability of assay was calculated by intra-assay and inter-assay variation.Furthermore,the level of miR-21 and miR-16 were detected by this method among the serum samples of 33 breast cancer patients,18 benign breast disease patients and 49 healthy individuals.And the sensitivity and specificity in breast cancer diagnosis were evaluated according to cut-off value which was defined by relative expressions of miR-21 between breast cancer patients and healthy population.Results Through optimization of temperature and time in the annealing and extension stage during PCR,SNR was ≥99.36％ ; peak of melting curve was single; R2 of standard curve was 0.994 8 and Coefficient of Variance (CV) of intra-assay ＜ 1.5％,CV of inter-assay ＜4％.They indicated that this method was accurate,specific,precise and stable.When miR-16 was taken as internal reference,the relative expressions of serum miR-21 detected by SYBR green Ⅰ realtime PCR among the serum samples of breast cancer patients,benign breast disease patients and healthy population were 20.83 ± 18.18,20.86 ± 10.11 and 9.33 ±4.44,which had statistical significance among of them (x2 =16.92,P ＜ 0.001 ).There was statistical significance in healthy people vs breast cancer patients ( Z =- 2.58,P ≤ 0.01 ) and healthy people vs benign breast disease patients ( Z =- 4.42,P ≤0.01 ),but was not between breast cancer patients and benign breast cancer patients (Z =-0.51,P =0.608).When the value of 18.32 for the relative expressions of miR-21 was defined as cut-off value,the sensitivity and specificity of this method to diagnose breast cancer were 51.5％ (17/33)and 93.9％ (46/49),respectively.Conclusions A sensitive,specific and stable SYBR green Ⅰ real-time PCR for detecting serum miR-21 has been established.This method may have some diagnostic value for breast cancer.

Objective To evaluate the mechanism of immunosuppressive activity of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D_3 and provide a theoretical basis for clinical use. Methods Different inbred strain male BALB/C (H-2d) and male C57BL/6(H-2b) mice were used as skin transplantation donors and recipients, respectively. After operation C57BL/6 mice were conditioned with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D_3 2.5 ??g/kg every day, Cyclosporine A (CsA) po 25 mg/kg every day separately or unitedly. Ten days after transplantation, the recipients were sacrificed, and the spleens were collected. The mouse splenic T lymphocytic subsets, mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR), the activity of natural killer (NK) cells were determined. Results The mean survival time (MST) of skin allografts was prolonged from ( 9.75 ? 0.89 ) days to ( 13.13 ? 1.13 ) days by treatment of the recipient mice with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D_3. CD3 + and CD4 + subset percentage in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D_3 group was lower than that in control group CD3 + ( 40.19 ? 4.25 )% vs ( 48.70 ? 7.19 )%, P

OBJECTIVE To study the possibility of acellular bony microtubule used to construct tissue engineering ossicular prosthesis. METHODS To prepare the acellular bony microtubule, observe the change of its histocompatibility and biomechanics. The acellular bony microtubule carried with collagen/ BMP-2 was implanted into the middle ear of the animals. The ectopic osteogenesis was observed. RESULTS The acellular bony microtubule has good histocompatibility. There wasn’t significant change about biomechanics. After carried with collagen/BMP-2, the bony microtubule can induce osteogenesis in the animal’s middle ear. CONCLUSION The acellular bony microtubule carried with collagen/BMP-2 has the possibility to be used to construct tissue engineering ossicular prosthesis.
