International Eye Science 2015;(8):1350-1352
Dry eye is one of the most frequently ocular surface diseases. Recent researches found that many reasons caused decrease of ocular surface damage and the quality of tears , such as the change of ocular surface, immuno-inflammatory responses, apoptosis and the reduction of sex hormone. It is reported that the decline of ovarian function and hormone level in postmenopausal women which leads to abnormal structure and function of tear film is more likely to develop dry eye. In this paper, the ocular surface, pathogenesis and progresses of treatment on postmenopausal women with dry eye are reviewed.

International Eye Science 2016;16(7):1313-1315
AIM: To investigate the changes of serum angiogenic factors including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor ( bFGF) in Mongolia patients with diabetic retinopathy ( DR) and to explore their roles in the progress of DR.
METHODS: Eighty - three patients with diabetes were divided into three groups according to the retinopathy, no DR group ( NDR, 25 cases), background DR ( NPDR, 31 cases) and proliferative DR group (PDR, 27 cases), and 36 age - matched healthy people ( control group) were selected. Serum concentrations of VEGF and bFGF were measured using ELISA method.
RESULTS: In Mongolia patients with diabetes, the serum concentrations of VEGF and bFGF were higher than those in control group; the serum concentrations of VEGF and bFGF in PDR group was higher than those of NDR and NPDR group (P< 0. 05); the concentrations of VEGF and bFGF in NPDR group was higher than that of NDR group (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: High level of VEGF and bFGF may be the important pathogenic factors for DR in Mongolia patients.

Objective To study effects of hFRNK gene on phosphorylated p190RhoGAP expression and RhoA activation by mediated adenoviral vector in colorectal carcinoma cell Colo320WT stimulated with extrinsic gastrin17 in vitro.Methods AdEasyTMsystem was used to construct pAdhFRNK expressing human FRNK gene by recombination in E.coli.BJ5283.pCR3.1/GR plasmid expressing gastrin receptor CCK-2 was transfected into colonic carcinoma cell line Colo320 cells by LipofectamineTM2000 and expression stably CCK-2R clones was selected by G418(500 ?g/mL).The expression levels of gastrin receptor of Colo320 cells and the transfected cells Colo320WT were assayed by RT-PCR.Colo320WT cells were treated by 10~8 mol/L Gastrin17 for 0h and 12 h;and after Colo320WT cells were infected by pAdhFRNK(MOI:100)for 2 d,the cells were treated by Gastrin17 for 12 h again.The expression levels of phosphorylated p190RhoGAP of Colo320WT cells were assayed by immuniprecipation and western blot.RhoA activation was assayed by pull-down.using GST-Rhotekin-RBD followed by RhoA blotting.Results When 10~8 mol/L Gastrin17 stimulated Colo320WT cells for 12 h,the expression levels of phosphorylated p190RhoGAP increased apparently and RhoA activation diminished.When pAdhFRNK infected Colo320WT cells for 2 d and 10~8 mol/L Gastrin17 treated the cells for 12 h,the expression levels of phosphorylated p190RhoGAP decreased apparently and RhoA activity was elevated.Conclusion hFRNK can inhibit expression of phosphorylated p190RhoGAP and enhanced RhoA activity in the cells stimulated with Gastrin17,and its mechanism is probably that hFRNK can block FAK phosphorylation and FAK pathway.
