AIM:To be one of the primary cause injury to multiple sites of ocular of glaucoma which affects over 70 million people worldwide. We applied data mining techniques, linear and the matrix operations, efficiently calculated the network and estimated the possible function of the“node” genes of the retina and optic of glaucoma, in order to provide new thought and method on the pathogenesis of glaucoma.
METHODS: The data in this study is from Gene Expression Omnibus ( GEO ) which belong to Nation Center for Biotechnology Information ( NCBI) , the quality of the raw data CEL files was processed and analyzed by the Expression software which belong to Affymetrix Inc. , Santa Clare, CA, USA. Significant analysis method ( SAM) which base on the T test was used to identified the significant genes. Based on GRNInfer and Gvedit soft we set up gene networks of optic and retina of mice and further more enriched analysis which based on DAVID and MAS3. 0 online software were processed.
RESULTS:The analysis between the group of the optic nerve heads and retinas in different stage of glaucoma showed that the amount of significant different expressed genes in the optic never head group increased significantly comparing with the group of retina in the early stage of glaucoma, the analysis of the genes network construction show that:the node genes of optic nerve heads included Unc13c、Kif5a、TRPM1、PANX; and the node genes of retina include POU4F1, NEFL, BC03870, CALB2. Metabolic pathways enrichment analysis which based on MAS3. 0 online platform show that there was mainly the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, tyrosine metabolism, melanogenesis, Nitrogen metabolism, Gap junction, Leukocyte transendothelial migration metabolism pathway enriched out in optic nerve head; and there was mainly amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, neurodegenerative disorders, prostate cancer, leukocyte transendothelial migration metabolism pathway enriched out in retina.
CONCLUSION:By understanding bioinformatics result, it seems optic were more sensitive than the retina to high intraocular pressure, and weather high expression of TYrp1 gene can be as a sensitive diagnostic item require more evidence back up. Functional enrich analysis of node gene showed that cytoskeleton reconstructed, molecular motor and nutrients transport function improve in optic; and in retina, the most prominent finding in retina was enrichment function modules were focus on regeneration, repairing and differentiation of cells, which remind that we should reinforce research on reparation of retina of primary glaucoma. Metabolic pathways enrichment analysis show that inflammatory response plays prominent place in optic and retina of primary glaucoma, because of the optic narrow and crowed anatomic shape, nutrient metabolism and substances transfer enrichment modules play an important role in optics of primary glaucoma.

Objective To study the differences of esophageal manometry (M),pH set-up method (P) and X-ray (X) on positioning of the 24-hour esophageal pH catheter and relative factors. Methods Fifty subjects underwent M, then pH catheter was located by P and X. The difference between methods and the relative factors such as body height,lower esophageal sphincter (LES) length etc were analyzed. The difference of less than 2 cm between two methods was accepted. Results The length between the location determined by M,Pand X and nose were (37.9 ±2.9),(40.8 ±4.4) and (40.7 ±5.3) cm, respectively.There was significant difference between P and M as well as between X and M (P< 0.01 ). The coincidence rate was 62.0%(31/50) between P and M;84.0%(42/50) between P and X;and 58.0%(29/50) between X and M. Compared with P,M was (2.9 ±3.9) cm nearer to the stomach. Age, body height and LES length were main factors which affect the difference between P and M (P< 0.01 or < 0.05),body height and LES length were main factors which affect the difference between X and M (P<0.05 or <0.01). Conclusions Compared with M, the location determined by P is nearer to stomach. The location of X is varied. Body height and LES length are main relative factors.

Objective To assess the prevalence of Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire (PDQ)personality deviations in patients referred for functional dyspepsia (FD) with reliable and universal psychological measures, and to explore the relationship between co-occurring PDQ-personality deviations and functional dyspepsia. Methods The sample comprised 246 patients referred for functional dyspepsia. Four groups were divided according to their patterns of gastrointestinal symptoms: the FD group, FD with refluxlike symptom group(FD + RS group), FD with irritable bowel syndrome group( FD + IBS group), and FD with reflux-like symptom and irritable bowel syndrome group ( FD + RS + IBS group). Participants were assessed with the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire for DSM-Ⅳ ( PDQ-4 ) to evaluate the presence of personality deviations. Results Overall 65% patients scored positive for any personality deviation, male and female alike. Cluster C (anxious/fearful) personality was most commonly found in FD patients (142 patients, 57.7% ). The FD + IBS group and the FD + RS +IBS group had significantly higher total PDQ scores than the FD group (23.39 ± 8. 77 and 24. 22 ± 10. 97 vs 18.98 ± 11.88, P < 0. 05, respectively),indicating that FD patients with greater level of personality deviations tend to report other symptoms involving the esophagus and lower gastrointestinal tract. Reflux-like symptom without actual pathological acid regurgitation indicated cluster A (odd/eccentric) personality deviations. Conclusions The current study shows personality deviations are common in patients referred for functional dyspepsia. Negative emotions,maladaptive coping, and lack of social support, may strongly influence their healthcare-seeking behavior.There is no single personality type specific for some kind of gastrointestinal symptom. But FD patients with personality deviations tend to report other symptoms involving the esophagus and lower gastrointestinal tract.
